World without brands

1. Background
...A world without brands... It existed once, and still exists, more or less, in the worlds poorest places. No raucous advertising, no ugly billboards, no McDonalds. Yet, given a chance and a bit of money, people flee this Eden. They seek out Budweiser instead of their local tipple... What should we conclude? That people are pawns in the hands of giant companies with huge advertising budgets and global reach? Or that brands bring something that people think is better than what they had before?
(The Economist, 2001a: 11)
2. Question
Critically discuss the statement. Think about some inherited presuppositions which link to the binary between so called east and west, i.e. developing and developed world which is inherited from the past. Think about the notion that most of the popular brands originate in the developed world, but through their marketing strategies, and inherited presuppositions, these are considered more valuable then the local ones. What is the role of international marketing in this process? How does it affect bottom of the pyramid market?
You can do complete theoretical piece and illustrate your argument with the examples, or you can use a case study of a company.
3. Structure
Introduction and Background information of the company if you are using a case study of the particular company
Development of the argument through the theoretical conceptualisation
Concluding remarks

LAW of WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION

About two thirds of the 159 members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) are developing countries. They play an increasingly important and active role in the WTO because of their numbers, because they are becoming more important in the global economy, and because they increasingly look to trade as a vital tool in their development efforts. Developing countries are a highly diverse group often with very different views and concerns.
In view of the above:
Why are there special provisions in WTO agreements for developing countries?
Do these provisions provide a solution to the issue of the effective participation of developing countries in WTO decision-making?
Is it necessary to develop an understanding of the different techniques and tools used in the agreements to differentiate the obligations of or towards developing countries?

Human Rights - Disability - Duty to Accomodate

Datt had worked for McAdams restaurant for 23 years (taking orders, cleaning) when in 2007 she came down with a skin condition on her hands that was made worse by frequent hand washing. She took several short-term disability leaves but her condition always worsened after she returned to work. McAdams said that frequent hand washing was necessary to maintain acceptable sanitary conditions, to meet both government regulations and its own hygiene policies. For example, the restaurant has a times system where a timer sounds each hour, and all crew members and the manager must wash their hands. Datt's doctor reported that she could not perform any job requiring frequent hand washing but there were duties she could perform, including cash, some food preparation, and some cleaning. However, in August 2009 the benefits provider told Datt she would not be able to return to work because "restaurant work was not good for her" and offered her a three-month job search program. In November 2009, McAdams terminated her employment. Datt filed a human rights application to the Ontario Human Rights Commission/Tribunal pursuant to Ontario law.
Please address the following issues in reviewing the merits of the human rights application:
Questions:
1.Did Datt have a disability? How is a "disability" defined pursuant to the Ontario Human Rights Code?
2.Was this a case of discrimination? Why or why not?
3.Did the employer have a duty to accommodate Datt and if so, did it fulfill that duty up to the point of undue hardship? Explain your answer.
4.If you were a member of the Tribunal, how would you decide this particular case?

Experiential Learning Activity

Congratulations you are the proud parent of a newborn baby! Youre thrilled and at home now, so it is just you and your partner/spouse to care for your baby. One aspect that many new parents dont realize will be difficult to adjust to is the change in your sleeping patterns and lack of sleep that comes with being the parent of an infant. Newborns wake frequently during the night to eat since their tummies are tiny, and for diaper changes. They also sometimes wake up for other reasons, perhaps just because they are lonely and need to be held. Later in infancy some parents might decide to not attend to crying immediately, but all experts agree that newborns require feeding every few hours for optimal growth. For this discussion board you are going to participate in an experiential learning activity. You will be experiencing what typical nighttime waking would be like as a new parent. For this activity you will not be able to delegate the night-time duties to another person, you alone will be responsible for them.
*To earn credit for this, you must do this experiential learning activity between now and Monday Feb 23 night to be prepared for our Tuesday Feb 24 in-class discussion...You cannot substitute times when you had difficulty sleeping or discuss memories of weeks/months/years ago when your child was younger. Email me if you have a question about this.
-Set an alarm to wake up at least 3 times during your usual sleep schedule, approximately 3 hours apart, (Newborns typically need to eat every 2 to 4 hours so we are taking the average.) A typical waking schedule might be 11pm, 1am, 4am, 7am, and 10am (if youd still be asleep at 10am). To get the real experience, you should plan to stay up the rest of the day rather than allowing yourself to go back to bed after you finish this.
-Consider downloading a free ringtone for your smart phone of a baby crying to use as your alarm to help increase the reality of the experience and/or looking at a picture of a baby (your own or one you find online) while you are awake.
-Get out of bed and stay up for at least 15 minutes each time the alarm goes off. In reality, parents would often be awake for longer periods with only rare occasions being shorter than this. You are welcome to select any activity you'd like to do during this 15 minutes.
Questions to answer
The next day, answer all of the following questions. You'll turn in your typed, printed responses to these questions.
1. What was your experience during the night while waking up? Be specific. Was the experience the same or different each time you awoke?
2. What was your experience the next day? Did you notice any physical effects (e.g., tiredness) or emotional effects (e.g., moodiness) the next day?
3. How do you think this would affect you if you had to do this night after night for months?
4. Would this make you more likely to want to share nighttime duties with a partner? Do you think your partner would be willing to share this duty?

Health Education increases overall life quality

This assignment requires student to review the literature on the specific problem/issue area you will be tackling in your project management plan. For example, if you are preparing a project management plan that involves mitigating the effects of climate change on a small island state, then your literature review should engage with the scholarship on the effect of climate change on small island states and the varying options for intervention.
The literature review should NOT be a simply a descriptive list of researches. It should engage critically and analytically with the scholarship, meaning it could identify themes, different interpretative frameworks, policy recommendations, competing conclusions and possible explanations for the variance (i.e. was it a sampling issue, different methodologies, etc). You could also discuss which of the findings was more persuasive, backing your claims with evidence.
The review should be in narrative form and include a thesis statement in your introductory paragraph, laying out the main argument that you wish to present in the body of your text, followed by a conclusion. It also should include sub-headings that serve both as organizational cues for the writer, and as a roadmap for readers. For example, i.e. environmentalism as a collective action problem, environmentalism as a problem of capitalism, and so on.

Personality Theory - Harry Sullivan Theory

Harry Sullivan's Personality Theory as it could relate to someone's personality. Feel free to use example's of real life personality type of someone who is extroverted and very social.
Instructions:
For this assignment you will write a paper 4 to 5 pages in length, not including its required cover and Reference pages, describing a single personality theory from the course textbook that best explains your own personality and life choices. You are free to select from among the several theories covered in the course to date but only one theory can be used.
Your task is to demonstrate your knowledge of the theory you choose via descriptions in your own words of its key concepts and to use of them to explain how you developed your own personality. It is recommended that you revisit the material covered to date to refresh your knowledge of theory details. This is a midterm assignment and you should show in your work that you have studied and comprehend the first four weeks of course material. Quoting must be kept to a minimum of a brief sentence or two per paper page. If found in greater amounts it will result in point deduction.
I. Theory Description
A brief description of the premise and key components of the theory you selected. You should be thorough but concise in this section and not spend the bulk of the paper detailing the theory, and rather provide enough of a summary of the key points that an intelligent but uniformed reader would be able to understand its basics. If you pick a more
complicated theory you should expect explaining its premise and key components to take longer than explaining the same for one of the simpler theories, but in either case, focus on the basics and keep in mind that a paper that is almost all theory description and little use of the theory to explain your own personality will receive a significant point deduction as will the reverse case of the paper being largely personal experience sharing with little linkage to clearly described key theory components.
II. My Personality
A description of how your chosen theory explains your personality and life choices.
III. Theory Limitations
A description of the limitations of the theory in explaining your personality or anyone elses. This section needs to identify limitations such as a theory applying to some aspects personality but not all, theory only applying to adult developmental, a theory focusing on nurture but not nature or vice versa, etc., not whether or not you agree with the theory.

Integrate physiological and psychological aspects of perceptual functioning.

How is language perceived in the brain, and specifically, how does Broca's aphasia impact mental illness.
Integrate physiological and psychological aspects of perceptual functioning. An example would be "the role of expectation upon the sensory experience of olfaction."
Note: A very important aspect of this paper is that it must cover more than what is already covered in the course -- textbook information summary and course review isn't the goal -- but rather it must expand on a topic related to the course. The topic can also not be too broad. An example of an appropriate topic might be a particular disorder of the olfactory system. A too broad topic would be "Perception and the Sense of Smell". The latter is too general because it is one of the human sensory systems and something the course already covers. It is also much too broad because it covers an entire sensory system.
Finally, an exceedingly important aspect of this assignment and the others in the course is the rule prohibiting ANY type of copying. The certainly includes copying word-for-word, or with just a few words changed or rearranged, published material of any kind, and you also may not even quote for any assignment in the course. Concern the latter, your prof needs to see what you understand of what you have read rather than what you can copy and place inside quotation marks. You must paraphrase (summarize in your own words) published materials and properly source credit published materials both in the post or paper body and in a list attached to the end per APA formatting rules. A first instance of ANY copying and/or failure to source credit, regardless of intent to do so or not, will result in an assignment score of zero with no option for revision and any additional instances will result in course failure.

write an essay that shows your understanding of the use of kairos

write an essay that shows your understanding of the use of kairos. You should use Reading 3.1 (I Have a Dream) in Praxis as an opportunity to demonstrate this understanding. For your paper, you will need to show how kairos is used and how it works in the speech. Specifically, this means that you should show how Dr. King builds on his interpretation of the moment and the opportunities it presents (kairos) in order to write a persuasive speech. In your essay, draw on several passages which have to do with kairos. Quote the relevant passages, or parts of them, and discuss them. Explain what they mean and why they are important. Once you have discussed the kairotic imagery and passages, explain how they are used in the speech.

The uses of history: We saw two high-stakes episodes in which ancient sources

The uses of history: We saw two high-stakes episodes in which ancient sources were either falsified (the Donation of Constantine) or contradicted each other so that the facts are lost to us now (the Norman Conquest). Describe and explore the similarities and the contrasts between these two cases, quoting any primary sources assigned for class. How truthful can we assume primary sources to be?

3. Its clear that medieval and Renaissance Christians were interested in their individual salvation: we can see that in the representations of the Last Judgment (week 5), as well as in the prayers and praise-songs to Christ, Mary, and the saints  . At the same time, though, religiosity and the Church were also often either ignored, as in Bisclavret   and Silence  , or mocked, as often in the Decameron . Write a paper focusing on the Decameron: choose one or more tales and examine how it treats (or they treat) the question of salvation, holiness, and virtuous living.

4. The Decameron is famous for a more closely mimetic (realistic) treatment of human lifeits more interested in exploring how we do live, than how we should live. Choose one of the following four themes: the search for identity; the search for love; the search for the divine; the search for power. Identify one or two Decameron tales that in your opinion exemplify that theme, and show how they use representations of everyday life to do it.

Value Creation Sellers create value for buyers

Value Creation
Sellers create value for buyers in the form of providing leading edge technology, state of the art products, timely services, ease of buying, and quality of relationships, services, and products. These values are usually related to company finances (but not for all criteria, as compliance, safety, and other factors can be considered).

An analytical reader response paper. Follow any acceptable form

An analytical reader response paper. Follow any acceptable form (MLA, APA, etc.) 3 or 4 pages long (or more). Select any poem you like; I suggest a fairly short piece. (The Raven is WONDERFUL to analyze, but is long and involved; use such a poem if you wish). When you select a poem, consider the following suggestions.
a. In the opening paragraph, consider the title and what it might mean; what general type of poem it is (lyric, narrative, or dramatic); mention anything you know about the authors life that might give a hint at the message; describe the first lines of the poem in terms of the possible meaning of any symbols or figures of speech they contain (you should look for and explain symbols and figures of speech throughout the poem); discuss what is being described (the setting; is there any symbolic meaning in it); what characters are used (stock characters, types, or archetypes) or what you see as the authors persona or narrative voice. You dont have to use this order, and there are other questions you might ask (see the material included below), but the main idea is to figure out the setting and nature of the poets angle of vision.
b. In the next paragraphs, (the body of the essay), work through the poem stanza by stanza explaining anything symbolic (including figures of speech), the relationship of symbols to each other and to any message being developed; what actions or ideas are being described and how they contribute to building the general message of the poem (which you will clarify in the last paragraph or two of your paper), and comment on the use of words, the rhythm and rhyme (particularly if they relate clearly to the ideas being expressed), and any other elements of technique or word use you find important. Go through the entire poem in this manner.
c. In the closing section of your essay, comment on the overall tone, message, and meaning of the work; what did the writer want the reader to know? Remember: you are making an argument here (This poem MEANS X), so be sure to anchor your interpretation in the poem itself; the authors words and symbols are the evidence for your argument, and if they are ambiguous, you should acknowledge that yours is one possible interpretation and that others may also be legitimate. (NB: remember EN105/106: when you close, try to write a graceful and interesting last line; dont just stop writing; and be sure to give your finished product a good title and first line as well.)

An essay about the right of habeas corpus in the context of the war on terror.

Soon after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush administration developed a plan for holding and interrogating captured prisoners. They were sent to a prison inside a U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, on land leased from the government of Cuba. Since 2002, over 700 men have been detained at Gitmo. Most have been released without charges or turned over to other governments. In 2011, Congress specifically prohibited the expenditure of funds to transfer Gitmo prisoners to detention facilities in the continental United States, making it virtually impossible to try them in civilian courts. As of April 2012, 169 remained in detention at Gitmo (Sutton, 2012).
An assumption made by the Bush administration in selecting this location was that it was beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. The administration wanted to avoid any judicial oversight of how it handled detainees, characterized as enemy combatants. A possible legal challenge to indefinite detention with no formal charges or judicial proceedings might arise from the habeas corpus provision of the Constitution.
Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Under this provision, persons detained by the government are entitled to a judicial hearing to determine if there is any legal basis for their detention. Some legal commentators refer to the right of habeas corpus as the "great writ of liberty" because it is a prisoner's ultimate recourse to an impartial judge who can review the possibility that he is being held illegally by the executive (e.g., the police or the military). In nations that do not honor habeas corpus, people simply disappear into prisons without ever having their day in court.
Several controversial Supreme Court cases have come out of Gitmo. One fundamental question that has been debated, but not clearly resolved, is to what extent the war on terror justifies the President's indefinite detention of enemy combatants without the possibility of the minimal judicial review protected by habeas corpus? Another issue in the debate is to what extent Congress must clearly authorize the President to conduct extra-judicial detentions in order for them to be legal? In 2008, the Supreme Courts decision in Boumediene v. Bush offered some answers to these questions.
