American Dream W4

Week 4 Readings and Assignments

1. Read Richard Wright’s powerful Black Boy: Part one.

This book was published in 1945 and became an instant best-seller.

I have never read a more powerful book about race in America than this one.  It is an incredible piece of writing and once you have read it, you will never forget it.

Wright became a permanent ex-patriot eventually and left this country for good.

2. Discussion Board — Who is dreaming now and what would it take to fulfill it?

a. Compare Richard’s experience with that of Ragged Dick or with that of Alexandra.  What does this book say about the American Dream?  Is it viable? Why or why not?

 

b. What would Richard's dream be if he could express it?  How about the dreams of his father, his grandmother, or his mother? Why can't Richard's family be supportive of him?  What accounts for this dysfunction?

 

c. Richard seems not to fit in either the black world or the white. Why do you think this is?  How does he see himself?  What would be a perfect world for this young writer, if he could create it?

 

d. What is the picture we see of life in the South after the catastrophe of the Civil War and its unfinished Reconstruction?  How does this culture make it impossible for persons of color to achieve?  Why are the white people in the South so afraid of those who are not white?  What hinders progress toward equality and integration in this time and place?

 

e. Richard Wright presents us with a fractured and painful world that is awful to experience, even vicariously in print.  How does this book belong in a course about the American Dream when it is the absolute American Nightmare?

Analyzing The Organization (Cabela’s)

This is a case study. You should thoroughly describe the organization’s (Cabela’s) current design and identify any structure or design problems that the organization is facing. The data gathered in each chapter’s design module will help you with this. By answering the design module questions, you will gain an understanding of how the organization is currently structured and what challenges it faces. It is important to focus on challenges related to structure and design— those identified as you complete the modules— since other problems (such as poor products, poor pricing, poor marketing, and so on) might not be as relevant and won’t give you enough opportunity to demonstrate mastery of course concepts. However, if those problems arise because of poor organizational structure or design, they are appropriate to discuss.

Attached are the design module questions and answers. An outline so you can have a general idea. And some slides so you can pull information from there and stick to the curriculum.

Business law assignment

Your assignment begins with watching "The Corporation" in class.  The film makes a lot of points about the modern-day corporation.  It is written with a specific viewpoint and audience in mind.  The film is rather critical of the modern-day corporation.  It specifically highlights a number of issues for the audience, including: limited liability for shareholders (i.e. the "corporate veil"); cheap labour; advertising; ethics in business; obligations of the corporations; environmental issues; and corporate evolution.  There are literally hundreds of points made in the film. Your assignment is to take one to three of the points made in the film and take a stance on your selected points.  Do you agree or disagree with the points as presented in the film?  Why or why not?  Remember, the quality of argument is more important than the conclusions you make.  Your paper must be supported with research.  You will need to use at least five external sources.  The sources must exist in print.  This means that you can use electronic sources, but only those that have appeared in print somewhere (i.e. no Wikipedia but citing the Globe and Mail or an electronic journal is okay). Length: 5-7 pages Font: Times New Roman Spacing: double Style of editing/citations: APA only Title page is required Late submissions: accepted, with 5% deducted per day late Marking breakdown: Analysis/critical thought: 40% Writing: 30% Research: 30% I am happy to review your work – insofar as I am able – up to one week prior to the due date. No duotangs, folders, etc.

    Contractual Remedies

    Contractual Remedies

     

    Haply Inc. contracts with Barksdale LLC to have an engine repaired. After much negotiation, the parties agree that the engine will be repaired and reinstalled at Haply’s facilities in 5 days. Haply plans on losing $40,000 a day for each day the engine is not delivered after the five-day window (this is the cost for a replacement engine).

     

    Haply tells Barksdale’s representatives that if the engine is not repaired on time that bad press will cause Haply to lose a client’s business totaling $3,000,000. Barksdale does not complete the contract until day 7.
