Topic: Using your critical thinking/analytical skills please complete the following and submit in the week 3 module in the assignment folder entitled Week 3 Case Review/Analysis:
1. Assume you are Fitter Snacker’s new marketing manager, hired to clean up some of the company’s problems, as outlined in the beginning of Chapter 3. You just started this job, and you are getting to know your sales team and the company’s processes. Describe all the problems you observe about the way Fitter’s sales force currently takes and fills an order. Now convince upper management of the need to improve the existing system and put an ERP system in place.
2. If Fitter installs an ERP system, how could they reorganize their sales division to be more efficient? Be specific about how you would rearrange divisions, or consolidate them.
3. Fitter’s current sales order accounting processes involves recording sales in each division and then periodically sending certain sales data to Accounting for invoicing and financial reporting. Complete sales order data are retained in each sales division for business analysis purposes.
Assume that different divisions of the Yummy Foods Company buy NRG-A and NRG-B bars from each of Fitter’s sales divisions. To complicate matters, some divisions of Yummy buy store-brand bars from Fitter. (Yummy owns convenience store outlets.) Fitter management has asked for an analysis of the Yummy Foods account. They want to determine if there are opportunities to expand the company’s relationship with Yummy; however, they want to assess the profitability of the relationship before proceeding. The management team wants to see what products each division sells to Yummy, how much is sold, and on what terms. Assume that in Fitter’s current system, all the required data are available only at the sales division level. What steps will be needed to pull this company-wide analysis together? (Review how each division sells its products.) Do you think a sales division manager will be enthusiastic about sharing all data with his or her counterpart in the other division? Do you think there might be some reluctance? Why?
4. Continuing the Yummy Foods example, now assume that Fitter has an SAP ERP system installed. Each sales division records sales in the same way. Sales records exist in real time and are kept in the company’s common database. What steps will be needed to pull this company-wide analysis together? Do you expect that the divisions will meet the new system with enthusiasm or reluctance?

Critiquing Internet Sources
Today, the Internet provides an unprecedented amount of information by way of blogs, videos, and podcasts. Conduct a critique of one blog, one video, and one podcast, which provide information that addresses the topic of your Final Research Paper. Assess the authors’ use of bias, validity, and applicability of information. Examine the influence of web-based information on global citizenship and multicultural understanding. Then, compile a list of three factors you believe should be considered when evaluating Internet sources for use in researching information.
The paper must be three to four pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. In addition to the three multimedia sources you are analyzing, support your points with at least two scholarly sources. One of the scholarly sources must be from the Ashford University Library. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.

Instruction:
Look at the Hamlet’s first soliloquy, “That this too too solid fresh…”
Read it in your native language. (which is Japanese for me.)
Write an essay on the ideas that get captured and/or lost in translation.
Please write a minimum of 2 pages according to the instruction.

I have read Hamlet in my own language (Japanese) and already found few words that I got lost in translation.
For example, “His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter!” – I don’t know if this “canon” is used as in Church or in a Christian way. Since in Japanese, only Shinto or Buddhism exists, this word “canon” is translated as in “rule/regulation” because in Japan, we don’t know that it is not allowed to commit on a suicide in a certain religion like Christianity. So when translated, it shows “rule/regulation” in Japanese.
Also, “How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable” – In Japanese, stale and flat is almost the same meaning and it is usually used to describe the food. But in this case, it is used to describe Hamlets’ depression.
Lastly, “With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!” – this is also something that it is translated in a weird way since it is not a crime in a religion for us in Japan to get married to a brother’s wife.
Like this, please summarize and explain more in specific detail and include what I just wrote since my professor want to know where I got lost in translation when I read Hamlet in Japanese.
I also personality think that by reading Hamlet’s first soliloquy in Japanese, I thought I should have read Hamlet by also understanding the religion of Christianity. Because before without understanding the rules and regulations of Christianity, I did not have so much sympathy but AFTER, the more I understand the Christianity, the more I was able to understand the material and also Hamlet’s feeling. Since Hamlet’s idea shows Christianity which is completely opposite from our religion which is Shinto and Buddhist, there was hard time for me to relate myself with Hamlet.
One more thing, when Japanese read this type of soliloquy, we tend to see this as “Hamlet speaking to himself”. However, when I was reading his soliloquy, I felt like it felt like as if “Hamlet was not talking to himself but to the God”. (also because he uses a lot of ?s)So I also found this interesting as well.

Prepare a package of material that you would give to the school counselors for their implementation of the intervention. The package should include:
• A transcript for a 10-minute lecture (2-3 pages)
• A short play or interactive game that would engage the students to consider the impact of prejudice. (You may adapt an already existing play or game to fit your particular environment, or you may create your own.)
• An annotated list of at least five resources that the school counselor could use to deal with prejudice and its impact at the school. The annotated list should include the name and author of the resource, type of resource (article, film, etc.), where to access it, and a short description of the resource.
