( Unfortunately, at the moment you are sitting on a fail grade for this unit. It is important that this report focuses on Jervis Bay and that the structure follows that of an environmental report, the aims of the report are clear, there are supporting references and examples (including data and statistics) used to support your statements (it is important that there is strong evidence that the management challenges exist within the Bay) and that you explore the policy/legislative context of the issues you choose (this must include relevant local and state government policies and legislation). Also, remember that the recommendations need to be framed in their policy context, be justifiable and be prioritized.)
The only source that can be used is : Textbook: Carnes and Garraty, The American Nation, 15th ed., vol. In what ways did slaves challenge the slave system? Did their challenges succeed? Why/why not?
Focus on avoiding the obvious and the clich (in other words, doesnt have to be between a man and a woman, or even human beings, think of something more creative perhaps, like peanut butter and jelly! But also dont just ignore traditional love settings as well, those can be just as good).
Hints and Best Practices:
Pay close attention to writing visually. Anything you want us to know about a characters thoughts, feelings, or memories has to be made visual. Character is revealed in action.
Be consistent in your voice
Review the examples of narrative writing in both Tuesday and Thursdays lecture
Simplicity is key since it leads to clarity
Dont be afraid to lead by jumping right into a scene. Just make sure the reader is brought full-circle. Grading:
Students will be graded on their demonstration of rich visual writing, their use of a consistent writing voice for the narrative, and the presence of a beginning-middle-end structure. GSP errors will result in 5-point deductions per occurrence.
As you have explored in this course, ongoing challenges in the global business environment are mostly attributed to unethical business practices, failure to embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition among businesses. Imagine that you have been appointed as the Chief Compliance Officer of a Fortune 500 company of your choice and must prepare a presentation for your suppliers regarding your Supplier Code of Conduct to deliver via a web meeting. This assignment has two parts. For the first part, you are to create a five to seven (57) minute dynamic video on your companys Code of Conduct. You may use any type of recording device you have to create this videosmartphone, laptop, webcam, or other type of video recorder. The specific points to cover for this video are listed below. As an alternative to the video, you may submit a four to six (46) page paper that details what you would say in such a presentation following the same prompts as the video assignment below. For the second part of the assignment, you will create a presentation using PowerPoint (or other equivalent software) summarizing the important changes and explanations regarding the code of conduct that you communicated in your video/paper presentation to email to the suppliers after the meeting for future reference. The specific points to cover are listed below. You must submit both parts of the assignment to receive full credit. Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app. Once you are ready to upload your video to Blackboard, view the Kaltura video tutorial found in your online course shell (Week 9). Please use the following naming convention in the popup window for your video once it is finished uploading: Title: Your First Name, Your Last Name Challenges in the Business Environment Tags: BUS475, Business Environment Description: First Name, Last Name BUS475 Assignment 2 (Date Uploaded ex. 1-14-2018) Part 1: Video Presentation OR Paper Prepare and present a video that is a maximum of five to seven (57) minutes OR write a four to six (46) page paper in which you: List specific changes that your company has made to its Code of Conduct in recent years.

How does Kant think about the relationship between morality, nature and God (in the second Critique)? What does Hegel think is wrong with Kants picture of our moral life (in The moral view of the world and Dissemblance or duplicity)? 2. Discuss Hegels theory of Christianity. Hegel has some very negative things to say about Christianity (in, e.g., the Unhappy Consciousness chapter). Yet at the same time, he claims that his system expresses the Truth of Christianity, properly understood. In light of what he says in the Spirit chapter (Faith and pure insight and The Enlightenment), the section on revealed religion and in the conclusion to the book as a whole, what does he think is essentially right about Christianity?
