Describe at least three different ways Ta-Nehisi and Paul Coates respond to the problem of racism and explain to Karla how effective you think each one is.

/in /by

Essay One Assignment:
Responding to Karla’s Questions About Tyranny and Responses to It in 13th and The Beautiful Struggle
Your friend Karla, who is Latinx, comes to you with a dilemma. In her American history class at
GCC, one of the students keeps claiming that the election of Barack Obama in 2008 proves that
racism is no longer really a problem in the U.S. Karla has two questions: “What do I say to this guy, what details and evidence can I give, to prove that racism is not just a problem of the past?” and “Besides all this, studying American history has made me feel completely depressed about whether people of color can ever really do anything effective to respond to racism or any other form of injustice. I know you are reading The Beautiful Struggle. Using details and examples from that book, what can you tell me about the most effective ways to respond to racism?”
Karla has two main questions, so your essay needs to respond to both of them:
􀀀 Assure Karla that (unfortunately) there is plenty of evidence she can give showing racism still exists by citing details and examples from 13th, your mini-research project, and/or
The Beautiful Struggle. One way to think about the way racism plays out in the lives of the Coates family is to ask yourself this question: What obstacles does this family face that a European-American family might not face? This section of your essay should be around a paragraph or two; it should probably make up about one-fifth of the final essay.
􀀀 Describe at least three different ways Ta-Nehisi and Paul Coates respond to the problem of racism and explain to Karla how effective you think each one is, using details and examples, including at least four quotations, from The Beautiful Struggle.
Your paper should include:
􀀀 An introductory paragraph of at least five or six sentences that introduces Karla’s situation and the book we are reading in class. You might also, if you wish, introduce 13th.
Since your essay has two main tasks – to convince Karla she’s right in thinking racism still exists
and to cite some evidence to prove it and to describe and evaluate Ta-Nehisi’s and Paul’s responses to it – your thesis statement will also have two parts: one part will be to make a claim that racism is still a pressing problem; the other part will be to name and evaluate the different ways Ta-Nehisi and Paul Coates respond to that racism. We will spend time in class practicing drafting two-part thesis statements.
􀀀 One supporting section which summarizes some evidence that racism is still a problem, using details and examples from 13th, your mini-research project, and/or The Beautiful Struggle.
􀀀 At least three other distinct supporting sections with clear topic sentences which discuss and evaluate three ways Ta-Nehisi and his father respond to that racism. It is most likely that in doing so, you will be discussing the ways they respond separately – that is, Paul responds differently than Ta-Nehisi, so one section you may be discussing a response that is Paul’s alone. In another section, you may be discussing a way Ta-Nehisi responds that is his alone.
Use details and examples from the book to illustrate these responses. In considering how to evaluate each of these responses, you might ask yourself the question, “Does this method of responding to racism work? Is it effective? Why or why not?” You should also use details and examples from the book to prove the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of a particular strategy.
􀀀 A concluding paragraph which briefly restates your responses to Karla’s questions and discusses the implications of what you’ve proven. Abuses of power are everywhere in our society. What can the Coates family teach Karla and all of us, if anything, about how to respond? In what ways does learning about the Coates family’s struggles change our views of our country? In what way might we see our tasks as Americans differently after reading this book?

Develop a project management plan for the company and product, service, or other idea from my business plan in the Marketing and Strategy course (see attached Business Plan).

/in /by

Overview

The project for this course is the creation of a project management plan.

Managing technology in support of business operations is key to profitable operations management (OM). Profit maximization can result from a business manager’s ability to cut production costs or generate new revenue after applying a new technology or developing new products or services. To ensure the profitability of a business opportunity, a manager must be able to envision the entire life cycle of a business product, service, or idea. Only then can the manager create a plan to guide the business product, service, or idea from inception to retirement in a sustainable and profitable manner.

For this assessment, you will develop a project management plan focused on profitable and sustainable operations; the basis for this project management plan will be the company and business product, service, or other idea from the business plan you created in the Marketing and Strategy course (see attached Business Plan). In your project management plan, you will manage the scope-time-cost parameters of the project by assessing relevant obstacles and risks. You will determine appropriate risk mitigation strategies for your project, while also considering future innovations and profits.

Prompt

Develop a project management plan for the company and product, service, or other idea from my business plan in the Marketing and Strategy course (see attached Business Plan).

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

  1. I. Operations Management: In this section, you will assess the history and trends of operations management, focusing on the business or company from your business plan in the Marketing and Strategy course. Specifically, you should:
  2. a) Assess the significant forces that have shaped operations management in recent history. How did these forces impact the business operations of your company? If your company does not yet exist, how do you envision these forces will impact the business operations of your company?
  3. b) Critique the key obstacles and issues that confronted company management during the evolution of operations management into the modern era. How did your company’s management handle these obstacles? If your company did not exist then, how do you think they would have responded to these issues?
  4. c) Assess changes to operations management philosophies and organizational structures in response to the evolving complexity of business operations. In other words, what has changed and why?
  5. d) Analyze the business operations of your selected company. Consider questions such as these in your response: What organizational processes does the company use? How do the business operations support the strategic plan, mission, and vision of the company? What factors affect productivity and profitability?
  6. e) Determine the key trends in production, quality, resource, and information management with a focus on the business operations of your company.
  7. f) Assess the impact of these key trends on the business operations of your selected company and on the business product, service, or other idea in your business plan.
  8. Operationalization: In this section, you will discuss the operationalization of a business opportunity, specifically the business product, service, or other idea from your business plan in the Marketing and Strategy course. Specifically, you should:
  9. a) Project the potential costs, risks, and benefits of operationalizing your business idea. Your projections should be supported with rationale.
  10. b) Develop a work breakdown structure for your business idea. Your work breakdown structure should include at least three tasks with at least three subtasks each.
  11. c) Provide a narrative justifying each task and subtask that is part of your work breakdown structure.
  12. d) Identify key milestones, deliverables, and resource requirements associated with operationalizing your business idea based on your work breakdown structure. The key milestones, deliverables, and resource requirements should be supported with an explanation of how they will help the project meet scope-time-cost objectives.
  13. e) Assess potential obstacles and impediments to meeting scope-time-cost objectives of the project, supporting your assessment with rationale.
  14. f) Determine appropriate risk mitigation strategies to address the obstacles, impediments, and risks you have identified.

III. Life Cycle: In this section, you will discuss the life cycle of your business product, service, or other idea from your business plan in the Marketing and Strategy course. Specifically, you should:

  1. a) Describe the life cycle of the business idea. Focus your response on the future of the business idea, specifically on its growth and eventual decline.
  2. b) Assess the profit generation and cost-saving opportunities associated with the business idea based on the life cycle you described. Your assessment should be supported with rationale.
  3. c) Determine a phase-out plan for your business idea that ensures a sustainable solution that makes way for future innovation and profit streams. Ensure that you justify the steps in your plan.

 Score
1. Organization

(20 points)

 Ideas may not be focused or developed; the main purpose is not clear. The introduction is undeveloped. Main points are difficult to identify. Transitions may be needed. There is no conclusion or may not be clear the presentation has concluded. Conclusion does not tie back to the introduction. Audience cannot understand presentation because there is no sequence of information. Main idea is evident, but the organizational structure many need to be strengthened; ideas may not clearly developed or always flow smoothly and the purpose is not clearly stated. The introduction may not be well developed. Main points are not clear. Transitions may be awkward. Supporting material may lack in development. The conclusion may need additional development. Audience has difficulty understanding the presentation because the sequence of information is unclear. Ideas are clearly organized, developed, and supported to achieve a purpose; the purpose is clear. The introduction gets the attention of the audience and clearly states the specific purpose of the speech. Main points are clear and organized effectively. The conclusion is satisfying and relates back to introduction. (If the purpose of the presentation is to persuade, there is a clear action step identified and an overt call to action.)
2. Topic Knowledge

(20 points)

 Student does not have grasp of information; student cannot answer questions about the subject. Few, if any, sources are cited. Citations are attributed incorrectly.  Inaccurate, generalized, or inappropriate supporting material may be used. Over dependence on notes may be observed. Student has a partial  grasp of the  information. Supporting material may lack in originality. Citations are generally introduced and attributed appropriately. Student is at ease with expected answers to all questions but fails to elaborate. Over dependence on notes may be observed. Student has a clear grasp of information. Citations are introduced and attributed appropriately and accurately. Supporting material is original, logical and relevant. Student demonstrates full knowledge (more than required) by answering all class questions with explanations and elaboration. Speaking outline or note cards are used for reference only.
3. Audience Adaptation

(20 points)

 The presenter is not able to keep the audience engaged. The verbal or nonverbal feedback from the audience may suggest a lack of interest or confusion. Topic selection does not relate to audience needs and interests. The presenter is able to keep the audience engaged most of the time. When feedback indicates a need for idea clarification, the speaker makes an attempt to clarify or restate ideas. Generally, the speaker demonstrates audience awareness through nonverbal and verbal behaviors. Topic selection and examples are somewhat appropriate for the audience, occasion, or setting. Some effort to make the material relevant to audience needs and interests. The presenter is able to effectively keep the audience engaged. Material is modified or clarified as needed given audience verbal and nonverbal feedback. Nonverbal behaviors are used to keep the audience engaged. Delivery style is modified as needed. Topic selection and examples are interesting and relevant for the audience and occasion.
4. Language Use

(Verbal Effectiveness)

(20 points)

 Language choices may be limited, peppered with slang or jargon, too complex, or too dull. Language is questionable or inappropriate for a particular audience, occasion, or setting. Some biased or unclear language may be used. Language used is mostly respectful or inoffensive. Language is appropriate, but word choices are not particularly vivid or precise. Language is familiar to the audience, appropriate for the setting, and free of bias; the presenter may “code-switch”  (use a different language form) when appropriate. Language choices are vivid and precise.
5. Delivery

(Nonverbal Effectiveness)

(20 points)

 The delivery detracts from the message; eye contact may be very limited; the presenter may tend to look at the floor, mumble, speak inaudibly, fidget, or read most of the speech; gestures and movements may be jerky or excessive. The delivery may appear inconsistent with the message. Nonfluencies (“ums”) are used excessively. Articulation and pronunciation tend to be sloppy.  Poise of composure is lost during any distractions. Audience members have difficulty hearing the presentation. The delivery generally seems effective – however, effective use of volume, eye contact, vocal control, etc. may not be consistent; some hesitancy may be observed. Vocal tone, facial expressions, clothing and other nonverbal expressions do not detract significantly from the message. The delivery style, tone of voice, and clothing choices do not seem out-of-place or disrespectful to the audience or occasion. Some use of nonfluencies are observed. Generally, articulation and pronunciation are clear. Most audience members can hear the presentation. The delivery is extemporaneous — natural, confident, and enhances the message – posture, eye contact, smooth gestures, facial expressions, volume, pace, etc. indicate confidence, a commitment to the topic, and a willingness to communicate. The vocal tone, delivery style, and clothing are consistent with the message. Delivery style and clothing choices suggest an awareness of expectations and norms. Limited use of nonfluencies is observed. Articulation and pronunciation are clear. All audience members can hear the presentation.

Intellectual Property Law:

In this assignment, I will be providing you with a case study where you will be analyzing the various types of intellectual property protection available to the primary actor and recommending which types would be appropriate and ethical for the primary actor to pursue.   While the cases may differ over time, students are required to do the following:

  1. Read and understand the situation described in the case study.
  2. Analyze why each major avenue of intellectual property protection (patent, copyright, trademark, trade dress) would be appropriate or inappropriate to use to preserve the most rights to the business.
  3. Pick one type of intellectual property, and discuss the ethical considerations presented earlier in our text with respect to attempting to preserve intellectual property rights. (I would incorporate either a patent case where the company knows of people pursuing the same patent, or trademark where it is very similar to other trademarks on the market.   Each presents ethical issues).
  4. Submissions must be in writing, no less than 4 pages double spaced, times new roman font, default margins. Your submission must submitted via Dropbox on D2L by the due date.  This will count towards 50 points of your final grade.

Be sure to address the following:

State the purpose of the letter. Be sure to paraphrase the speech throughout your analysis.
Describe one strategy for development of the letter. This should be one that you identify with or think is effective. Base your description on this Module’s readings and the course activities you participated in.
Remember that your paraphrase should end up being about the same number of words as the original material that you cite. Please note that you are not paraphrasing the entire document but more like a sentence or two. This is similar to what you might do with a quote, but with your own words. A paraphrase is not the same as a summary.
Explain why you think the strategy is effectively used in the letter.
Incorporate at least one quote from the speech, and properly cite the quote on the References page.
Explain how you plan to use the development strategy in your Portfolio Project.
Requirements:

Your written paper should be two to three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.
You must accurately insert a quote and paraphrase in your analysis to provide in-text evidence from the essay or article you selected, and you must comment on the quote to demonstrate you are thinking in a critical manner.
Your paper must be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.
