Here is the question from last week: At the start of this course, it is important to familiarize yourself with your classmates, the learning outcomes of our course, and our course environment. This will help you build a plan and support system to successfully complete your assignments. For this discussion, review the course syllabus and our course outcomes and then create a post that addresses the following topics:
Provide a short introduction of yourself to your peers and instructor. What personal or professional experiences have you encountered that are related to the general topics of this course?
After reviewing the course outcomes, what do these outcomes mean to you? How are these outcomes relevant to your own personal/professional experiences and interests?
After reviewing the course syllabus and the Module One resources, select an additional online news article, professional organization, web resource, or web video that is relevant to the topics of Module One.

Keys to the Assignment
After studying the background materials and completing the SLP, you are in an excellent position to evaluate a company’s published mission, vision, values, and objectives/goals. This Case asks you to begin your strategic analysis of the Coca-Cola Company by evaluating the company’s mission, vision, values, and goals. To do this, observe the following procedure:
� Step 1: Visit the official website of the Coca-Cola Company and identify the company�s vision, mission, values, and goals. (Hint: You’ll need to do some exploring and a certain amount of speculation�as the terms “vision” and “mission” (and sometimes even the term “company goals”) are used interchangeably. Explore the “Our Company” and “Investors” links. Also, be sure that you look closely at the most recent Annual Reports.
� Step 2: Critically evaluate the mission, vision, values, and goals (again, you’ll likely need to make decisions as to which is which). Use the criteria in the background materials to support your assessment of the quality of the company’s mission, vision, values, and goals.
� Step 3: Determine which (if any) of the elements consider the goals and needs of specific stakeholder groups. Write down any examples.
� Step 4: Consider what changes are needed to improve the vision statement, the mission statement, the statement of company values, and the company’s objectives and goals.
� Step 5: Write a 6-7 page paper addressing the above requirements. You must meet minimum length requirements, by responding to each step above with precision and with depth of critical thinking.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS AS WELL:
1. Use of proper APA style is required in this course. Therefore, prepare your Case with proper documentation of sources, using in-text citations and a complete end reference list. Refer to the Well-Written Paper guide if you are not familiar with APA style.
2. Consider the Case as a formal business report that you are developing for the Board of Directors and CEO as the Coca-Cola Company consultant. This is a professional document. Follow the format below:
3. Note: You must use section headings to respond to all major requirements in all papers. Your section headings should appear similar to the following:
o Executive summary: This is a synopsis of the main points, conclusions, and recommendations made in the longer report. If you have never written an executive summary before, or would like a refresher, check this link: https://www.highendfinance.com/CommercialLoans/Docs/07-4%20ES%20Guidelines.do

You must write on ONE of the following poem:

Elizabeth Bishop “The Fish”

Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee
1) What is the dynamic between power and those who lack power? Which character(s) have power? Which characters lack power? Does the dynamic stay static or does power shift between characters?
2) In the first couple of chapters, a secretary makes a comment to Lurie about “you people.” What does she mean by that? Try to dissect the layers of meaning in that comment.
3)What is Lurie’s understanding of women? How is this revealed in his interactions with his weekly prostitute appointment and/or his relationships with his student, with his ex-wife, and with his daughter?
4) Is Lurie a predator? If yes, how? If no, why not?
5) What is Lurie’s point in telling his daughter about the dog who learned to hate its own instincts, to punish itself for feeling desire? What does he mean with the statement that “desire is a burden we could well do without”?
6) In Chapter 11, on p. 95 of the printed edition, Lurie has a moment of despair where he feels that “mission” work and “missionaries” have done nothing good for “darkest” Africa. What does he mean? What layers of meaning can we ascribe to “darkest” Africa and to his consignment of Africa to savagery?
7) After Lucy’s rape, Lurie has a dream in which his daughter calls to him to save him, though she acts very different in person. What do you make of the dream? What do you think of the questions he asks about Lucy’s soul, which might possibly be leading an independent life because she does not believe in souls?
8) Lurie wonders if it is worse to rape a lesbian than a virgin, and he also wonders if the men have raped her knowingly because she is a lesbian. He is referring to the problem in South Africa of “corrective rape,” where lesbians are raped by men who wish to “turn” them so that they become straight. Whether this is what the men were doing or not, why does Lucy not wish to speak about it? Why doesn’t she report it to the police?
9) Do you think Lurie is correct in thinking that Lucy’s silence concedes a “victory” to the men who raped her?
10) Explore the complicated relationship between Lucy, Petrus, and Lurie. What does Lurie mean when he says he could have had it out with Petrus “in the old days”? What old days is he referring to? What does Lurie think Petrus is up to? How does their relationship change over time?
11) Lurie ends up with a growing attachment to animals–first to the sheep Petrus plans to slaughter, then to the dogs he helps euthanize with Bev. What do these animals symbolize for Lurie? Why does his attachment to them grow?
12) Why do you think Lucy chooses not to prosecute or followup pursuing the men who raped and robbed her when she sees one of the perpetrators at Petrus’s party? Why does Bev reassure Lurie that Petrus is a good man and will take care of Lucy? What does that mean?
13) Who was Lord Byron? Who was Teresa? Why does their love affair captivate Lurie and what role does the opera he write play in formulating the ideas and themes of this novel?
14) Why do you think Lucy decides to keep the baby?
15) In what ways do Lucy and Lurie understand their relationship to South Africa differently and how does this translate to different actions on each of their parts? Do they have different cultural paradigms?

The purpose of the Final Project is to demonstrate your understanding of crime prevention programs and the role crime prevention plays in the overall criminal justice system. You may select a crime prevention program that addresses law enforcement, the courts, or corrections; or it may be a comprehensive program that addresses all three. The program may address the adult justice system, juvenile justice systems, or both.
For the purposes of this assignment, assume you are preparing a proposal to a city, county, or state governmental body to recommend the implementation of a crime prevention program within their jurisdiction. You need to demonstrate the value of the crime prevention program and its effectiveness in reducing crime, which in turn will reduce the overall costs to the jurisdiction and justify the additional expenditures to the community.
Your proposal must include:
1. A summary of the jurisdiction (i.e., city, county, or state) and the portion of the criminal justice system your proposal is designed to address.

2. An analysis of the current trends from three comparable cities in population size, utilizing the SARA model and the Crime Analysis Triangle. (Note: Crime Analysis for Problem Solvers in 60 Small Steps, Steps 7 and 8). You will analyze the data from three similar jurisdictions and compare it to national data.

3. A determination of the appropriate crime prevention strategy for the jurisdiction based on this analysis.

4. A review of academic literature and studies on the various crime prevention programs to address the needs of the community. How does the crime prevention program address social justice issues of the community?

5. An analysis of the various programs showing their effectiveness in comparable jurisdictions.

6. A recommendation of a funding strategy for program implementation.

7. Your anticipated outcomes, both short and long term. How does the crime prevention program affect social justice within the community?
