That takeover was by Rio Tinto, a mining company from Britain, that completed a $38-billion (U.S.) deal to buy the 105-year-old Canadian aluminum maker Alcan Inc. (headquartered in Montreal). Rio Tinto is the world’s third-largest mining company, a heavyweight in commodities such as iron ore, copper, industrial metals, diamonds and bauxite, a key ingredient in the production of aluminum. The purchase of this Canadian company worried some Canadians who assert that Canada’s corporate sector is being hollowed out by a lot of foreign takeovers, especially in our resource sector. In the recent past, foreign companies have taken over Canadian miners Inco, Falconbridge and LionOre, and steel makers Dofasco, Algoma and Ipsco. Other Canadian companies including computer chip maker ATI, Four Seasons Hotels and Hudson’s Bay Co. have also gone to foreign buyers in recent years. The deal made Alcan a subsidiary of Rio Tinto a global company headquartered in Britain (and Australia). Alcan is now helping its new parent Rio Tinto expand into India and China. Together, Rio Tinto and Alcan now form the world’s No.1 aluminum producer. Some critics have suggested that the loss of control of Alcan is devastating for Canada. When you lose the guts of your economy to foreign owners, you lose the heart and soul of your country, one observer said. In addition, some have called on the Canadian government to use the reins of power to curtail these kinds of takeovers in Canada. It’s not just the loss of a business, it’s the further erosion of independence and the ability to control our own destiny, say some Canadian observers. Rio Tinto executives have tried to reduce Canadians fears about the loss of Canadian assets, saying the company is committed to Quebec and Canada. In addition, government representatives such as the Bank of Canada governor have tried to reduce fears of these foreign takeovers, saying that the quality of management is more important than the nationality (foreign origin) of a company’s ownership. According to the Bank of Canada governor Dodge, What matters, really, is that firms are well managed, and that they make the investments that are necessary to take advantage of global opportunitiesthen in fact that would actually be positive for Canadian employment and output. Critics of this foreign takeover, including business writer David Olive, argue that such takeovers are putting Canada further behind on the global business scene and turning us further into a branch plant economy. Olive makes the following cynical observation: There are advantages to working in a plantation [ie., the Canadian branch plant] economy. No responsibilities, for one thing, no need to innovate, or to recruit and retrain the best workers, or to understand the culture and buying habits of potential customers in faraway markets. There’s no need to strive when someone else is giving the orders. CASE QUESTIONS (TOTAL 1 MARKS) Answer the following two (2) concept application questions.

3.Discussion week 4: Mythology, Creation stories, and womenAs I mentioned in this week’s lecture, we’ve now finished our study of mythology, focusing on the creation myths of the various religions and cultures we’ve looked at so far.We’ve seen the roles of women and female deities in those creation myths (think Tiamat in the Enuma Elish and Eve in Genesis in the Old Testament).There are definite links between the portrayal of women/female deities and the misogyny that became (and still is) systemic in the Western tradition.Do you see sources of that misogyny in the myths we’ve looked at? What are they? Give specific examples, identifying the creation myth and woman/female deity by name and religion/culture.How do you think these creation myths have influenced the misogyny of the West?Write at least two paragraphs, one for each question, of at least five sentences each.As always, if you quote or paraphrase from a research source other than the course materials, give an informal citation (title, author, page or webpage) in parentheses, MLA style (after the quote or paraphrase). Failure to do this is plagiarism, and will earn 0 points.For full credit, write your own answer to the discussion, and respond to one of your classmate’s posts. When you respond to a post, make sure to put in the name of the person you’re responding to, and to write more than just a sentence or two.Give Shannon feedback on her response:
In the book of Genesis it shows how God separates the two genders men and woman. God seems to be male. When God created Adam the first man, he said he was created in his image. Man is given control over earth at the time because he was the only human in existence. The woman is created as man’s companion/ helper so he won’t be lonely, This show’s God knows our hearts and what we need. The womens role is just as important as the man’s because without women there could be no procreation, human’s would be wiped out.These mythical creations have had great impact on the Western civilization by giving men and women the roles that are fit for them. Genesis says that men are the leaders of their households, without that the two genders may be fighting to be the boss. One myth that has affected us is that in Genesis it says Eve ate the apple causing pain during childbirth, and man having to labor for his food instead of having it grow freely as it did in the Garden Of Eden. This is just a couple of things that happened when Eve ate the apple. If you continue reading it shows the serpent tricked Eve into eating the apple and Adam ate the apple as well. I don’t think this reflects poorly on who woman are, I think It shows us that everyone is human and we all make mistakes.Check attachment for 22 Question Quiz Aswell
