a synthesis and critical and
comparative analysis of your 5 articles. Another way of saying this is that you are showing the
reader that you comprehend the complexity of the research and can engage with it in a thoughtful
manner. You need to develop connections across your 5 articles without resorting to merely
summarizing each article. The objective of the paper is to analyze the topic from a sociological
perspective by drawing on sociological research. What does sociological research have to say
about your topic? The following are suggestions for what you might want to discuss in your
paper.
Comparisons across 5 articles in relation to:
• Central research questions pursued by researchers and significance of the questions
• Key findings (Address complexity here; avoid temptation to simplify findings)
• Theoretical approaches (Differences in theoretical approaches taken by the various
researchers studying your topic)
• Methodological approaches (i.e., How might differences in methodology or sampling
impact the findings?)
• Policy Implications (i.e., How might you explain variation in policy suggestions made by
researchers studying the same topic?)
• Directions for future research (these should be grounded in the findings of your studies)

use primary sources whenever possible. Primary sources are editions of the works of the philosopher(s) and/or school of thought whose name is included in the topic. Editions of their works, in full or in part, are available freely on the internet. Students are also required to use at least two secondary sources, i.e. commentaries or other scholarly publications, whether books or articles, on their chosen topic. Many articles are freely available on the internet, as well as some older books that are now in the public domain. Most, however, are not available in this way, and in some cases, for some topics, to meet the requirement for this assignment, the use of the services of a public university will be necessary. For students who do not have ready access to the library of a public university, this might limit their choice of a topic.

This essay must be at least 900 words long including the introduction, body and conclusion, but not the bibliography, though a bibliography must be appended, which lists all of the books and articles used, quoted or simply consulted for this assignment. The introduction must include a general presentation of the topic as well as an overview of the essay. If relevant, there should also be an indication of what is not covered in the essay, though relevant to the topic. The body of the paper may or may not be divided into parts. If the essay is longer than the minimum required length and has several parts, it might be a good idea to insert a table of contents after the cover page. In any event, all pages except for the cover page and the table of contents should be numbered. A conclusion should also be included in which one typically recapitulates the main ideas developed in the essay. Students should consider rounding out the conclusion by offering some thoughts on the reception throughout the ages of the works discussed in the paper or on their relevance today.

The object of this paper is to reproduce or re-construct the argument of a classical political philosopher on a given topic. The student should use his or her own words as much as possible. If the words, other than the common words, used are taken verbatim from primary or secondary sources, then they must appear in quotation marks, and a reference must follow. Since the essay reproduces an argument, references are of crucial importance, since they act as evidence in a scholarly work. References to the primary or secondary sources should be included at the end of a sentence in parenthesis and should include the name of the author followed by the year of publication in parenthesis, followed by a comma and the page of the work one is referring to. This last indication is essential too, for obvious reasons. The key to this reference system will be found in the bibliography you must produce, which will be placed at the end of your paper. Please refer to indications provided for the previous assignment with regard to the requirements for the full bibliographical reference to appear, in alphabetical order, in your bibliography. This referencing system makes endnotes obsolete. As for footnotes, they may be included, but only if they contain a thought that you consider important to include, but that would break the flow of your text if it were included in the body of the text rather than in a footnote.

take on the role of a reporter or editor of a fictitious newspaper, the Community Times, and you will be reporting from the time period indicated.

You should use a traditional essay format with an Introduction stating the issues to be discussed and your main argument, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

Write an editorial for the Community Times, a fictitious newspaper from the early 1700s. In this editorial, you are to take a position in favor of indentured servitude as the most desirable form of labor for the British colonies at that time. You may focus on any of the issues raised by these forms of labor but you should examine these issues from the point of view of early 18th century America.

1. In the central role of strategic planning, only a handful of companies stand out as master marketers—Procter & Gamble, Southwest Airlines, Nike, Disney, Nordstrom, Wal-Mart, and McDonald’s to name a few.These companies have achieved competitive advantage based on product/ service differentiation, cost differentiation or niche differentiation strategies. From a consumer’s perspective why do you think they stand out? Explain. (Points : 20)
2. External Environment (Macro-Environmental Forces) affects the organization internal environment and organization processes. Discuss the impact of environmental forces on organizations; explain with the help of examples whenever possible. Also, point out opportunities, if any, presented by these regulations. (Refer to chapter 3 &11) (Points : 20)

Fist”, and “Freedom Song” (Ch. 2, 3, 7, in AWIP) and “Toward A Great Resistance”
(in Global Slump) as well as 12 additional academic sources. I ask you to do this so that you
provide an economic and political context to the analysis of your movement.
b) Make reference to McNally’s discussion of the “forms of struggle” or methods of struggle (direct
action, mass mobilization, and participatory democracy) in the social movement you are
examining. In other words, to what extent does the movement you examine base its struggle on
these forms or methods? Why is this significant?
c) Use a method of citation that includes footnotes or endnotes (along with a bibliography).
Possible Topics:
1. What are/were the strengths and weaknesses of the Occupy movement, or the Quebec Student
Protests/Movement which morphed into a larger movement against austerity? You probably want
to make reference to the different forms of struggle either of these movement utilized, the
movement’s relation to the state, the movements demands (political clarity), its organizational
durability etc.
2. What role do third world immigrants play in the economies of wealthy countries like Canada and
the US? How can a movement be built to defend such a vulnerable sector of the labour force?
3. Had the Canadian trade union movement been successful in the last decade in its stated goals of
defending the rights and incomes of working people? Why or why not? Is the present form of the
trade union movement in Canada a barrier to its success? Why is the labour movement despite its
problems central to challenging the power of capital?
4. What are the key issues facing the feminist movement (or Queer movement) & women’s rights
today? What challenges, if any, does the “backlash” pose to organizing for women’s rights?
5. To what extent can meaningful social justice, in Canada and/or internationally, be won in the
present capitalist system? What, if any, are the limits to this system? Is there an alternative? Is a
more democratic alternative than liberal democracy and capitalism possible or desirable? To what
political, economic, and democratic end should these movements be ultimately striving?
6. Many social movements (gay rights, feminist, environmental, anti-poverty, indigenous, unions
etc) in Canada commonly make recourse to the court system as a central part of their political
strategy (charter challenges for example). How effective is this strategy? Are there limits to it?
7. Is the electoral arena an important space to win social gains? Can real change only be won outside
the electoral arena? You may want to examine the NDP or another social democratic party
elsewhere and it’s relationship with social movements. Does it represent their interests? Should
social movements and political parties work together?
8. Is violence justified in a movement’s struggle for social change? If yes, under what
circumstances? Should there be limits? If no, how can real significant social change be won
through non-violent means given the state’s proven tendency to resist this? In your paper, clarify
the definition of “violence” (is there a difference between violence against property and violence
against persons, for example?). What are the implications of defining a blockade as violence?
Situate your analysis within the context of the increasing criminalization of protest.
9. Identify an historical social movement (in Canada or internationally, such as the Paris Commune
in 1871 or Spain in 1936 for example) and describe what it was about (who was involved and
what they were organizing for). Analyze how the state and business elite responded to its demands
and whether you think it was successful. Has it directly or indirectly shaped your life in any way
today?
10. Analyze a contemporary case study of democratic movements for social change or anti-austerity
struggles (think Egypt, Tunisia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Iceland, etc). Analyze how the state
and business elite responded to its demands and whether you think it was successful. Has it
directly or indirectly shaped your life in any way today?

Read the Health Cruises Case and submit answers to the following questions.

1.    What is the minimum number of passengers Health Cruises must sign up by November 20th to break even?  [show your calculations]

2.  Should Health Cruises go ahead with the cruise since 200 people have signed up by November 14th?  Why or why not?

3.    The advertising agency has proposed two alternative campaigns to help fill the boat.  One will cost $6000 and the other would cost $15,000.  Which would you suggest? [again, show your calculations].

4.  Should Health Cruises consider cutting its prices for this trip?  Why or why not?  What other factors could impact the go/no-go decision in addition to the break even?
