Why do you believe that Ford got into this predicament? Do believe that a similar predicament could happen today? Why?

In 1979 Ford Motor Company had a crisis on their hands. They rushed the production of the Ford Pinto and created a vehicle that was unsafe. A detailed description of the case can be found at the link below. The case study describes the issues involved in the case and Fords actions in response to the allegations. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/1977/09/pinto-madness I will also provide a link to this site through BlackBoard. Be aware that the websites listed at the end of this link are no longer active. If you want to do more research on the topic you will have to conduct a new search in your search engine of choice. You will be required to take this case and assume that you are now a consultant to Ford in 1979 after the concerns were made public. Use the concepts that you have learned throughout the semester to design a corrective action plan that will incorporate Corporate Social Responsibility. You may also Google Ford Pinto and get additional information about this case. To begin with in this assignment you are to explain the issues that are at play in the study. You are also to present your reaction to the case. In your corrective action plan you are to incorporate at least the following issues related to corporate social responsibility: Why should Ford incorporate a Corporate Social Responsibility Plan? Who are the stakeholders? What role did each play in the development of the case and what should be taken into consideration for each of these stakeholders as a corrective plan is developed? How would you incorporate Carrolls Corporate Social Responsibility Hierarchy into your plan? Give a moral, rational and economic argument for Ford incorporating social responsibility. How would you incorporate the triple bottom line into your plan? Incorporate vision, mission, strategies and tactics into your plan. An important part of your response is your recommendations as to what Ford should do to correct the situation. I know this happened 30 years ago but assume that you are making recommendations to Ford when this went public. Take some time with this final. Just covering the above issues will get the student a B or C. The A final will be well written, clear and creative. It will also incorporate other issues from the text or websites. The paper should be at least 5 pages and doubled spaced. Try to be creative with this assignment.

Identify five major factors and underlying challenges that lead to the establishment of the DHS.

The Creation of the DHS Develop an analytical PowerPoint presentation 15 (slides) about the creation of the DHS. Important: Please keep slides clean and readable (e.g. do not overload your slides with verbiage). Do include talking points in the presenters note section below the slide. In this Assignment, address all of the following: Do you think DHS needed to be formed? Analyze all of these factors and explain how they contributed to the formation of the DHS, then answer the following questions: Did the federal government take too long to move from the Cold War model of homeland protection? Is DHS and the IC (Intelligence Community) properly structured? Does DHS include too many agencies and/or are there some critical agencies missing?

Compare and contrast the ethnographies “Veiled Sentiments” by Lila Abu-Lughod and “Only Hope” by Vanessa L. Fong (it is important that these books specifically are used).

Compare and contrast in terms of the connections between who the anthropologist is (positionality includes the anthropologists own cultural background and other aspects of his/her identityincluding but not limited to gender), what the anthropologist focuses on (in terms of topic and theoretical orientation), and how the anthropologist goes about conducting his/her research (methodology). How have each of these aspects influenced each other in the course of fieldwork and the final product of the finished ethnography? Discuss the commonalities and differences of who, what & how in the two ethnographies. Then, based on this comparison, relate what your assessment is in terms of how ethnographies can be considered both objective as well as subjective accounts. In what ways are they objective and what ways subjective? You should reference at least TWO works by anthropologists Boas, Malinowski, Benedict, Geertz, or Wesch, and use direct quotes from relevant sources. Use citations wisely and to support the argument.

Explain what the literature (external scholarly source) suggest(s) regarding health implementation strategy regarding drug pricing.

Healthcare organizations require astute handling of strategy implementation. The processes must be followed with a contingency plan in place for failed strategic objectives leading to the goal. Review the stages of implementation in Chapter 13 of your textbook. Review 340B Drug Pricing Program Oversight case in your textbook (Chapter 13). Provide a written analysis of the implementation phases that were used/excluded in the 340B Drug Pricing Program Oversight case. Conclude with a summary of your research. Your paper Must be 4 to 6 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper Students name Course name and number Instructors name Date submitted Must use at least four scholarly sources in addition to the course text. Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Must include a separate reference page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

How does labeling affect a particular group in public discussion, and might there be a better way to conceive of the issue, given Fanon’s insights?

Paper Three PHI215 Final Paper Topics Due December 10th by 11:59PM *Late work will not be accepted on this assignment. The Late Work Policy is not in effect. Requirements: 1000 word minimum (the minimum word count does not include the Works Cited or Titling Information) Works Cited Page and Titling information (Your Name, Date, Course, etc.). Papers that do not contain a Works Cited Page will incur a significant penalty. Direct textual evidence (properly-cited quotations) must be used. Papers that do not use direct textual evidence will incur a significant penalty. Choose ONE of the Following 1.) Nietzsche is often read as offering powerful criticisms of traditional or commonly held beliefs of morality. To what extent are his criticisms valid and, more importantly, what does this mean for us? Are ethics and morality a waste of time, or is there still hope in a re-evaluation of values? 2.) Frantz Fanon has a very provocative understanding of the ways in which framing or labeling racial minorities with different words drastically affects our perception of the group in question. This kind of power dynamic typically refers to something like colonizer/colonized, oppressor/oppressed, etc. 3.) While certainly very important, Aristotles articulation of the virtues and their roles in our lives seem to be inherently lacking because they fail to provide a consideration for a multiplicity of viewpoints. In other words, discussions of virtue are typically done with masculine/patriarchal/exclusivist overtones. Annette Baier and other feminists offer a powerful and productive way of reformulating our normal views of what these things (virtues) actually are. Do you think, therefore, that Aristotelian virtue ethics is improved upon by care ethics/feminist virtue ethics, or was it doing alright on its own? 4.) Talal Asad and Edward Said each provide a fruitful framework for how the West has encountered the East. This exposes a deficiency within Western philosophy, through a perceived othering of non-Westerners. What lessons could Asad and Said provide the traditional canon of Western Philosophy? A Few Things to Think About: I welcome any and all positions, provided they are supported with relevant details, premises, arguments, etc. I will say again, however, that merely having an opinion does not make said opinion goodor even justifiable. As such, your paper would need to advance reasons you hold this position, and show why you are making the argument Please do not try to write a paper to impress me, or one that you think I will like to hear/agree with. I care more that you have each struggled with these issues than just heard these things that I’ve said and regurgitated them. If at all possible, please try to avoid giving personal examples when writing argumentative papers. I do not mean to suggest your relationship with whomever or your experiences are trivial, but only that these things will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to help convey your position and make your argument. In academic writing it is generally advisable to write from a position of near-certainty regarding one’s own position. This is not to say you should write I’m right, dammit! but that you should avoid language that implies hesitancy on your part. In other words write, I assert… It is my position…; NOT I hope in/feel/believe. The latter implies you aren’t sure what you’re arguing, or that your position is too wishy-washy. Please refrain from using valorized language or to assume, carte blanche, the person about whom you’re writing is male. The general trend is to use the feminine form for examples.

write a three-four page researched explication (each student will complete their own explication). In your presentation you will discuss this analysis with the class (remember, in your analysis, that the poet is not the speaker; do not say, In La Belle Dame sans Merci, John Keats thinks).

Are there any cultural beliefs/practices that must be taken into consideration when planning her care?

Amira is a 27-year-old Syrian refugee who has been residing in a local homeless shelter since her arrival here in the United States 4 weeks ago. She was brought into the emergency room this morning via squad after being found by a shelter employee sitting in a pool of blood on the bathroom floor crying and holding her abdomen. Due to her limited English speaking abilities, she is unable to provide specific details as to her complaints but the shelter employee states that she has recently stopped eating and has not looked well for the past couple of days. Based on the limited information provided, please answer the following questions. How will you prioritize your care of Amira, what assessments will you complete, and in what order? Please provide rationale for choosing this order. Considering her symptoms of abdominal pain and bleeding, is it possible that her status as a homeless refugee is a causative or contributing factor to her illness? Please provide rationale for your response.
