Discussion Board:For this weeks discussion board, we will be exploring Lincoln’s views on ending slavery and his motivations for doing so.Historians debate these things, so there is no right or wrong answer to these questions.We have been over the major dealings Lincoln had with slavery. You have read about the issue in a larger context in Of the People. In the article for this week, you have his views through the 1850s and during the war. The article by Stephen Oates also covers many of the different pressures on Lincoln, both from the war and regarding the slavery issue.The primary sources in The American Spirit give you a variety of Lincolns writings over time. Below is a list of all the readings in American Spirit by Lincoln.Abraham Lincoln Appraises Abolitionism page 265Abraham Lincoln Denies Black Equality page 314Lincoln Disowns Brown page 318The War to Preserve the Union page 331The War to End Slavery page 331Abraham Lincoln Answers Horace Greeleys Prayer page 338Lincoln Expresses Misgivings page 340Lincoln Defends His Decision page 345For this forum use the textbook, the primary sources, the article by Stephen Oates assigned for this unit and the course materials. You do not need to quote from all of them, but quoting from some will be helpful. Since this is the only discussion board this week, make your new threads a little longer, more like three paragraphs or about 300 words. What is not as well established are what his intentions were regarding the institution when he was running for President when the war started, and even when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. It is more clear he wanted to end the institution when he worked hard to pass the 13th Amendment, officially banning slavery in all of the United States.
The questions I have for you to discuss are all about what Lincoln wanted to do about slavery and when he wanted to do it. You can take that as a question on its own, or deal with it by talking about some of the following prompts:Did Lincoln truly believe slavery would go away on its own if it was contained in the South?When Lincoln became President, did he plan to end slavery? In other words, were Southerners right to think Lincoln was a threat to slavery in the South?What were Lincolns views on racial equality?Did Lincoln issue the Emancipation Proclamation primarily as a way to win the war or as a way to free the slaves? Or what combination of both motives?What pressures were placed on Lincoln to free the slaves? This question includes political, social and economic pressures.What pressures were placed on Lincoln to not free the slaves?
page 43 discussion boar post and reply 3 last classmates Answer these two questions adapted from page 448 in Of the People:
1. What made emancipation of slaves a military necessity” for the North during the Civil War?2. This one should take two paragraphs. Explain the role of the different economic systems of the North and the South during the Civil War. What advantages and disadvantages did each side have?

What legal issue is or issues are involved here? What relief is the appellant seeking?

Often multiple issues are presented, but the court tries to narrow this down.Holding: This is what the majority appellate court decides or holds. It is its opinion about the legal issue. This is usually at the end, after the discussion. The discussion not directly related to the holding is called dictum, or orbiter dictum. Dictum, or excess words, may suggest how the court may reach a decision in the future, but it is not precedent.Rationale: The reason that the court reached this decision.Order: Affirmed, reversed, or remanded. Instructions to the lower courts on what to do next.Implications Discuss how the case applies to managing other public organizations. Consider the application of the legal decision to other public administrators. . Consider the management problems from the case .Cursory and circular statements are not acceptable– do not repeat what is in the case. Litigation is not the management problem. Include your analysis and observations of why or how this type of issue matters to public administrators. This important section should be one or two paragraphs.

Evidence the current prevailing market trends in a chosen product or service and in a company of your choice (25%)

It is commonly accepted in the business world today that in order to reach and maintain
competitive advantage, firms need to product-innovate faster and more effectively than their
competitors. Having in mind the fact that firms need to gain and preserve competitive
advantage, many companies need to adapt their product or service concepts to survive and
prosper in competitive markets. At the same time firms still need to change their inner logistic
and daily organization, taking care of the relation between their employees satisfaction and
efficiency. The offer of services and the communication process are fundamental both
regarding the inner company life and the external market.
Assignment
The current assignment aims at analyzing the new concept ideation process based on the
assumption that creativity is inherently a formal process with precise rules. According to
Creative Thinking Workshop contents, students are required to analyze a real market scenario
through the creative and analogical thinking structures, showing how the theoretical studied
approach can be applied to the business field.
Starting from class preparation and materials, it is required that you research additional
information to support your work. This may be obtained from a diverse range of sources and
you are encouraged to research the issues in whichever way you deem appropriate. You are
encouraged to source at a mix of academic journal, articles, scientific researches, texts as
well.
This is an individual assignment.
You are required to write an assessment of the creativity strategies of a major company
operating worldwide. You should choose a relevant international company, operating in a
significant economic field. You should then study one of his products or services and imagine how to effectively implement its quality by using creative thinking skills (and thinking outside
of the box). You should start from the analysis of an already existing product or service,
exploring the creativity process that made it possible, and then reflecting on new
implementing opportunities of the same product or service. At this second stage you could
refer to a new products line strategies, imaging trough the creative templates how to modify
and modernize the current offer of the company.
Within the new product innovation process, the new idea creation and evaluation phases are
paramount in order to avoid unnecessary product development expenses downstream or worse
off, product launch failure. You have to use the creative thinking techniques and models
proposed during the workshop in order to give your own and personal marketing proposal
(that has however to be justified trough a real and proper data research).
The current assignment is connected with the following learning outcomes:
Utilize creativity techniques for business problem solving
Utilize creativity for design problems
Appreciate the value of creativity in a business context
Project structure
To do so, student will produce a 1500 word report on the following items.
The academic essay will count 80% of the final grade, the oral presentation 20%.
The project will have an introduction, body and conclusion which will account for the word
count. Bibliography will be required but will not be a part of the word count.
Referencing should abide by the Harvard rules and it is also mandatory.
We suggest the project follow the following structure:

2) Identify this companys used models of idea generation. How creative thinking has
been applied to the chosen product? Which creative templates (Goldenberg and
Mazursky 2002) can be used to better understand such creativity process? (25%)
3) Identify your chosen firms given product needs and brainstorm some possible
product configurations. Reflect back on the process you have used through the use of
the creativity templates,. (25%)
4) Do provide some final product recommendations you could make to the
management of the given company as to improve the effectiveness of future
product offerings (25%)
We suggest to use the Creative Templates model of Goldenberg and Mazursky: 2002. Then,
identify and rank the importance of a series of product (or services) features you have
encountered that may have better solved or addressed consumer trends and or demands.
Identify template types presented in the new product line-up so emphasize the most prevalent
ones. Recall that templates are: Replacement, Removal, Relationship and Redefinition. Use brainstorming to generate your own design models. On that you can work alone, after
being confronted with suggestion coming from the market or the corporate culture studies, but
also from the discussion with your colleagues. Write down a summary of your insights
showing the analogical or lateral connections emerged in the brainstorming practice.
Draw a conclusion in terms of what templates, sources of innovation and outcomes you have
realized from your study and which are your final reccomendations.

write on one of these common debates, but the focus should be on finding a unique point of view that is explained in terms of where it fits among other arguments on the same topic.

A few examples of common debates are: gun control, Roe vs. Wade or climate change.Select a problem and analyze its causes and effects. Make sure that you consider:
The immediate and hidden causes of that problem
The logical sequence of your argument, your own credibility (establish your credibility)
Details that affect that cause
Sources that will support your argument
A bibliography in MLA format (a work cited page)
Any objections or arguments against your points
Be sure to consider the needs of your audience.
As noted in M10, historical events are often the subject of causal arguments. In addition to the list of topics available, you may select a historical topic for the causal essay. It is worth noting that you will be continuing with your topic to work on the next critical essay, the proposal essay, as well. Therefore, it is advised that you pick a subject that you can create a causal essay for and then go on to write a proposal argument about. In some cases, you can request the option to work on two difference subjects for each assignment. Contact me by email to discuss if you wish to choose this option. This assignment meets the course learning objective to be able to describe, analyze and write contemporary arguments.The essay should be 5-7 pages in length.

Pick one of these positions (not a neutral stance): either Hollywood writers and directors DO have a social responsibility to avoid stereotyping ethnic characters, or Hollywood writers and directors DO NOT have a social responsibility to avoid stereotyping ethnic characters. To develop your position, brainstorm films that depict various ethnicities, and then determine whether the portrayals are damaging or benign. You might also consult Michael Omis In Living Color: Race and American Culture, (p. 538). Maintain your position while addressing the counterargument, and propose one or more solutions in your conclusion. Begin with a sheet of notebook paper to show your prewriting and use the scratch outline form for the essay. Then write your rough draft legibly (or type and print it) and bring it to class on Tuesday for peer review.The essay should contain:An introductory paragraph with a thesis statement and three supporting details;
Three body paragraphs that address the supporting details with specific evidence;
A conclusion paragraph that summarizes the thesis statement and mentions the supporting details, along with a personal component that wraps up the main theme of the essay.
The essay will be evaluated in terms of unity, support, coherence, and sentence skills. If you use the textbook to support your point(s), cite your sources by indicating authors name and page numbers within parentheses.
