Using the textbook Benjamin, T., Hall, T., & Rutherford, D. (2001). The Atlantic World in the Age of Empire. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. (Part II) and other sources answer the following questions about the alliances.
What were the “alliances” that emerged among major groups of people in the Atlantic World? How would you explain them? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
• Only articles from peer reviewed journals may be used as reference sources and at least 15 articles must be cited.
• Where possible, original rather than review articles should be used.
• When using a journal article as a reference, you should have read the entire article, not just the abstract.
• The aims of the literature review is to analyse and critique recent literature in relation to your chosen topic therefore it is strongly encouraged that you cite predominantly recent journal articles within the last 5 years as research is constantly evolving and changes rapidly.
Structure and content of the literature review
• It is important to follow a clear and logical structure.
• Begin the review with a clear introduction.. You can even briefly discuss the format of the literature review to follow.
• Ensure that the body of the literature review is broken into a series of paragraphs, the use of subtitles is strongly encouraged. Paragraphs / subtitles are the building blocks of your review so it is important that there is a cohesive and logical flow between paragraphs.
• It is important to identify, discuss and compare key issues raised in sources and highlight deficiencies of knowledge evident in the research topic if there are any.
• Remain focused on the question and answer the question clearly. Throughout your literature review try and relate the discussion back to the initial question.
• Your literature review should end with a concluding paragraph that summarises your review and also addresses the initial question. Your conclusion should be supported by the facts that you have presented in the body of the review. Note that there may not be a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer. You may also wish to propose future directions for research.
• Ensure appropriate and correct use of referencing, using the Harvard system.
• Finally it is important to check spelling and punctuation and make sure that your literature review is free of typographical and grammatical errors.

Most new hires are given several documents that expound the numerous rules, policies and operating standards on their first day of employment. These documents may be gathered in an employee handbook and may consist of a copy of the organization’s code of ethics which delineates the organization’s professional values, a code of conduct which relates basic rules such as work hours, dress code, company property restraints and where to park your car, etc. It can be overwhelming for a new employee to try to remember all the rules. Typically, the employee handbook just gathers dust on the shelf and the new hire follows the behavior of other employees.
• How can an organization ensure that employees are aware of and are following the expected behaviors that will lead to ethical conduct? Is reading a Code of Ethics at the hiring stage enough?
• What are some of the characteristics of effective employee training? Do the training sessions have to be in a formal classroom?
• Why is annual “refresh ethics training required by the Securities Exchange Commission for all public traded organizations?
Refer to the GCU Introduction, The Death of Ivan Ilych by Tolstoy and the three concepts of the “healing environment” found in chapters 7-9 of Called to Care: A Christian Worldview for Nursing. What is the phenomenology of illness and disease (i.e. the personal “what it is like”)? Cite references from your reading to support your answer.
What is a personal analysis of your own experience with illness and disease and how several factors colored that experience? How can you relate to The Death of Ivan Ilych
Use the readings (Wallace and Interview–Lorde) along with the film, Poetic Justice to create a discussion/argument. Examples: consider how either black masculinity or black femininity is heard and seen in the film; character construction; Maya Angelou’s poems used to provide Justice with a voice after it has been lost; the use of death/loss in the film; what does it mean to have a voice for marginalized/oppressed individuals?; the representation of romance in an “urban” tale; fairy tale; feel of the film–how it was written; how does Singleton offer something different? what’s at stake for the characters? this narrative? the use of poetry and rap?
Characters: Justice, Lucky, Iesha, Chicago

1. answer all these questions in the paper: In the public and not-for-profit sectors, there are many individuals and groups who impact on your functions. They would also impact any planning process that the organization undertakes. What role should they play in the process? What does the organization need to do to engage them in the process? How will success be determined?
2. plz don’t use many references. if use, only use web resources, and put the website link in the reference page.

2. The teleological argument succeeds/fails in establishing the existence of God.
3. The argument based on the backward problem succeeds/fails in the establishing the truth of Determinism.
4. Frankfurt’s Jones-Black case succeeds/fails in establishing the plausibility of compatibilism.
5. Hobbes’ (paired with the Prisoner’s Dilemma) succeeds/fails in establishing the necessity of a government.
Of course, the main goal of the paper is to display your new found skills as a philosophical ninja. As a result, you should write in your best possible “voice” and be as clear about the concepts and arguments as you can. You may use “I” (first person singular) in the paper; after all, it is a paper about your take on the arguments, and in some cases your arguments. It is a long held belief that writing is crucial to good understanding; so if you feel that you are missing a piece of the puzzle, you might be. Try and work through the problem the best you can. Also, if you feel that you may not be as clear as you like, try using an example, or putting it another way. Finally, while this paper is short, I would strongly prefer a polished draft; that is, you should (at least) re-read the paper (some time after you’ve completed it – a few hours later is usually good) and clean it up in line with your fresh look at it.
structure of the paper:
introduction
Start with the thesis statement you select above. (Do not start with “Since the beginning of time” or some other framing sentence; these are almost always false and take up valuable space.) After that, you should proceed to mention the arguments you will talk about in the three main sections. (Normally, philosophical papers can have many sections, but since this is a short paper you will have only three.) Also, be as clear as you can about what your position will be in each section. Since there will be no conclusion for your paper, the entire map of your paper should appear here.
Section 1 (The Set Up)
A. Outline the argument you will be focusing on in for the rest of the paper. For example, if you selected Thesis 2, you should state clearly whether you will argue that it succeeds or fails and then you should provide the argument as clearly as possible.
B. Be sure to clear up any simple problems that would make someone reject the argument and clear up any difficulties with the key concepts. For example, if you selected Thesis 1, it might be helpful to say what kind of God you will be talking about and why.
Section 2 (Critical Evaluation, take 1)
A. Raise one serious (the most serious if possible) objection to the argument you detailed in Section 1. Be sure to be clear on whether the objection is to the premises or to the support relation of the argument. By the time you are done with Section 2 A, it should be obvious to your reader what the objection is and how bad it might be for the argument presented in Section 1.
B. Offer a defense on behalf of the argument in Section 1A to the objection you raised in Section 2 A. Be clear how this defense is supposed to work and the concepts required for the defense.
C. Discuss whether or not you think the defense succeeds or fails. That is, does the reply/defense succeed in saving the argument, or does your objection (in 2A) destroy the argument? A good discussion may contain additional arguments, but it always contains good reasons for agreeing or disagreeing with the position you take.
D. Your discussion may introduce new ideas that require critical evaluation themselves. If they do, continue with a discussion of this sort in a new paragraph. In a longer philosophical paper, you may have many paragraphs of this sort before you turn to the next section. For most papers of this length, it is unlikely you will have more than one of these paragraphs.
the class is international trade. the paper should discuss some Ethical issues in international trade. P.S. the two sources can be from the internet.
