Read this article about Apple workers. Also watch this video about inequality in America.
Then write a essay with an original title where you discuss whether corporations are causing inequality in the US, and offer strategic solutions about how we can change the trend. In particular, comment on President Obama’s comments in the state of the union address about raising the minimum wage. Do you think this is a good strategy for the US? Why, or why not?

Instructions: This week you are to write a research paper comparing and contrasting the pedagogical and andragogical approaches to instruction and learning. Suppose the senior supervisor or manager of your organization asks you to design a program to increase employee awareness of sexual harassment and train your workers in the appropriate ways to deal with harassment complaints.

The two Integrating Values for this unit were Inquiry Into Perfection and Unity. It seems as though the Internet is our primary mode of inquiry – more broadly speaking technology is what we use to explore the world we live in. Do you accept this premise or not? Address the impact this has on our own individualism,

It is through Inquiry we find answers. Sometimes we call those answers Truth. We live in an age of discovering multiple Truths everyday. Was our world simpler when we were taught what the truth was and we didn’t need to question it??? The title of the assignment should lead you first of all developing a definition of what Beauty is and what Truth is. Please do not give me dictionary definitions. Now once the Greeks went through their process of Inquiry and reached a conclusion there was no need to go further – you get the answer and go on to the next. Is this a good thing or a limiting thing.
How do we Inquire today? Do we in fact inquire??? Give some specific examples of contemporary processes of inquiry.

Read Funeral Oration of Pericles (http://faculty.txwes.edu/csmeller/Human-Experience/ExpData09/02GrecoRoman/GrRmRDs/grR_Pericles-Oration/grR_Pericles-Oration.htm) and Cicero’s On Duty (http://faculty.txwes.edu/csmeller/Human-Experience/ExpData09/02GrecoRoman/GrRmWRTs/RomanWritings/Cicero43Duty.html). These are two texts, one Greek and one Roman, are found in the Primary Sources for Unit 2 and they describe what being a good citizen entailed in those cultures.
Your assignment is to read the texts and compare then contrast the ancient writings (Pericles and Cicero). How can you connect any of the concepts written in the texts to the cultures of today.

Immigration and Acculturation
Immigration and acculturation are processes that make individuals aware of their own culture, of other cultures, and often force some difficult choices. Immigrants and expatriates also affect the environment into which they move, making new identities possible for all involved. This week, you will understand more about these important processes.
There are many reasons people may leave their culture of origin. They may be displaced because of political conflict and war, natural disasters, or economic conditions. In some cases, they may marry and move to a new city or country with a spouse. Regardless of the reason, the move does not come without issues. Leaving behind the known for the unknown is a daunting task. There may be language issues, frustration with trying to fit into the new cultural norms yet hold onto culture of origin values and traditions, and frequently the challenge of coping with resentment and discrimination expressed toward them.
Immigration, migration, and emigration are three terms that are commonly intermingled; however, they refer to different elements of voluntary or involuntary displacement. The umbrella term is migration, meaning a movement of people from one area to another. Immigration refers to the process in which an individual enters a new country while emigration refers to the country from which the person came. Many factors influence how well the individual acculturates, or adjusts to the new culture. These include age at immigration, familial support, and community support.
Be sure to review this week’s resources carefully. You will be expected to apply the information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.

Assignment
Adolescents are known to search for their identity, to be especially influenced by peer groups, to struggle to establish a degree of independence from the family, and to strive to develop a sense of gender role. Adolescents from immigrant families may face special stresses and tensions, due to differences in gender roles, family structure and cohesiveness, and differences in emphasis between individual and group values between the family’s original culture and the host culture. Too often, this can lead to alienation from both the positive elements of the host culture, and the family, with resultant problems such as psychological distress, delinquency, and substance abuse.
In this assignment, you will write a paper in which you look at evidence-based and model programs aimed to ameliorate the stress of acculturation for adolescents. In your paper, be sure to:
• Locate at least three programs (evidence based programs or model programs) aimed at ameliorating the negative impact of acculturation on adolescents. Each program should target a different ethnic group or nationality.
• Identity the particular characteristics of this group and how immigration and acculturation challenge the adolescents of this group.
• Describe how Berry or LaFrancoise’s acculturation model might be applied to the group described in the research.
• Explain the program and compare the mechanisms for healthy acculturation in the program to the ones mentioned in the text, such as language, education, and support groups.
• Identify unanswered questions and needs for further research.
