How did the planters’ paternalism serve to justify the system of slavery? Meaning, what were the arguments used to justify the existence of slavery in the south? In particular, consider the basic points made by the proslavery defense and how they justified their point of view to both southerners and non-southern audiences.
What were the lives of slaves like (including men, women and children) in the south? Consider the different types of labor systems (gang labor, task labor), and the ways in which slaves created communities and cultures that allowed them to survive in an oppressive society.
What attempts were made to resist slavery? Consider the attempts made by slaves (including rebellions, runaway tactics, etc.) as well as the attempts made by the abolitionist movement. Were these attempts successful or not?

Case 3.6 You Have to Create a Sense of Urgency
“Most of our key people appear to be willing to go along with the change initiative, but Im worried that wont be good enough”, said Charles McDonald, CEO of TDI Enterprises
“What do you mean? asked Alice Landon, TDIs CFO. If the key players are willing to go along with us, what more do we need?”
“Well, I’ve been reading a book by a change expert named John Kotter”, said McDonald. “According to Kotter, just getting our people to go along isn’t good enough. You have to create a sense of urgency.”
“We were lucky to convince key players to go along with us on this change initiative. How in the world are we going to get them to feel a sense of urgency?” asked a bewildered Landon.
Discussion questions:
1. It can be difficult to get key personnel to along with a change initiative. Do you agree that “just going along” is not enough? Is a sense of urgency really necessary? Explain?
2. how would you answer Landon`s question about how to create a sense of urgency?
