Proposal

You’ll choose a multinational company that has robust offices on two or more continents. You’ll investigate their company culture and current problems they’re experiencing. Choosing 1 of these problems, you’ll zero in on a piece of this problem. By persuasively arguing for 4 recommendations, the proposal will be written as if you are a company employee tasked with resolving, diminishing, or ameliorating this piece of the problem. A budget providing the costs to implement your recommendations will be part of the proposal.

1.Choose 1 current company problem to work with for this project. “Current” is defined as still extant right now. You’ll need at least 3 sources from within the last 6 months verifying that the problem exists today

2. Write a persuasive mock Proposal tasked with solving a facet of the problem. You are not solving the whole problem, only a piece of it. After logically showcasing relevant points, argue for 4 new recommendations the company can implement together to diminish or eliminate the problem. You are proposing 4 new actions that work in concert; you are NOT providing 4 options of which the supervisors will choose 1. These recommendations must be your own; they can’t be what the company is already doing.

Devise a detailed Budget for these recommendations. How much, if anything, will each recommendation cost? These figures must be reasonable and doable for your company. This proposal is from one employee or on behalf of a company team to another company team or group of other employees and will be written in the appropriate professional tone and
approach.

Since the larger problem is in actuality not yet solved, the piece of the problem you are focusing on isn’t either. You are safe to assume that the company has had many barriers internally and possibly externally in dealing with the problem. Therefore to make headway, the proposal must be very skillfully argued. To do this you must factor in company culture. Do NOT include “I”, “me”, “my”, “we”, “our”, and “you” and “your”. The linguistic distance will evoke a more formal and serious tone.

Proposal sections are as follows and in this sequence (from p. 286 in our textbook. See the Proposal Contents document on iLearn for details): Letter of Transmittal; Executive

Summary; Title Page; Table of Contents; List of Illustrations (optional, only if you include supplementary non-text information); Introduction; Background; Problem; Purpose; Proposal; Plan; Schedule; Staffing; Budget; and Authorization. See student exemplars on iLearn for a general idea; please notice the frequent content repetitions throughout. In text citations must back up all data. In the Proposal you may include graphs, diagrams, photographs, illustrations, web links, and any other information types if suitable but they are not required. If you do, put the citation information immediately below them and in the References. If you created your own graphic, cite yourself.

Note the Proposal component of Project 4 has many sections, of which the actual proposal is one.

SOCIOLOGY OF DOGS & OTHER CANIDS

In this essay, we will do as Marie Fox suggests in her article and take dogs seriously, as part of our efforts to understand social life in a more complex, less-anthropocentric way that recognizes the affective entanglements of cross-species encounters. This essay will take the form of a multispecies ethnography in which you will reflect on the world of an individual dog who you know personally and your interactions with that individual being, using the course material as well as your own experience and other additional sources that you find are useful. This assignment asks you to make an effort to gain an intimate understanding of another individual’s life, to pay attention to someone else and to try to understand how that individual participates in a multispecies community.

First, your paper should say who this dog is and give some biographical information. But your paper should go beyond description to create some serious and critically-informed reflections on how this dog maneouvres in an interspecies social world and the roles and restrictions imposed upon this particular being. Questions to consider:

How does the dog, as a thinking, feeling, socially-complex being, interact with humans in a shared environment?

Is the dog’s subjective agency recognized and allowed to flourish?

Is the dog an object, symbol, clown, prisoner, slave, tool, property, friend, family member, something else?

What is it like to be this particular dog and how might this dog’s experiences be typical or abnormal?

How is the dog’s lifeworld coproduced through interactions and relations with humans?

How is this dog’s existence and status determined by institutional conditions and cultural practices?

What can your observations tell you about nonhuman personhood?

Much of our readings and discussions will consider our ethical relations with other animals and you should address those ethical concerns in your paper.

What are our ethical obligations to companion animals and are they being met in the case you consider?

In her book, Inside of a Dog, Alexandra Horowitz suggests that by paying attention to dogs, we may gain some new sensory experiences of the world. What else might we learn from taking dogs seriously?

What does it mean to pay attention to a dog? What have you learned from this dog?

Has the course material helped you to understand dogs in a different way? How? What is significant about such an understanding? What are the broader implications?

What ethical obligations do you have toward this dog and what obligations do we have towards dogs in general?

What does it mean to care for an animal? What moral responsibilities do we have to (nonhuman) others?

What kind of moral situation do we place ourselves in when we decide to own a pet? How does this alter our own positionality?

How does attentiveness to animals allow & encourage us to rethink our own lives and what it is to be human?

How does your investigation of an individual dog’s life inform your thoughts on how animals should be treated generally?

Should we give equal moral weight to their interests? What would this entail?

Your paper should not simply be descriptive but should place your reflections on an individual dog in the context of theories about our relations with other species. As well as making sure that your paper is explicitly linked to course themes raised in lectures and course readings, refer to at least 6 additional academic sources (Will add multiple readings from class, be sure to use them) to support the points you make.
