Many historians have observed that the real hero of Marx’s COMMUNIST MANIFESTO seems actually to be the capitalist bourgeoisie. Who are the ‘bourgeoisie’ according to Marx? How does he view their historical role; what does he take them to have achieved? On the other hand, why does he think the capitalist system (like all others in History so far) to be one inherently and unavoidably based on class-division and class-struggle? Marx thinks that industrial society is the first type of society in human history that will allow humanity to move beyond class divisions. He says that ‘industiral capitalism’ has a fundamental contradiction within it; can you detect what he takes this contradiction to be and what it has to do with the ‘proletarians’ and their condition in capitalism? Ultimately, both Capitalist and Communist societies, as Marx sees it, are ‘industrial’ societies; that is, they are fundamentally ‘growth’ societies. For Marx, ‘economic growth’ was the universal solution that would enable the achievement of the perfect society. How do you view the role of ‘economic growth’ in contemporary society? Should we still consider it the universal solution?

Essay topic

 

There is considerable disagreement among commentators concerning the social responsibilities of multinational corporations operating in a global context. Some commentators argue that corporations have minimal obligations, at most merely complying with host country laws. Others insist that corporations have further negative obligations to respect human rights. Still others contend that this does not go far enough, and that corporations additionally have positive obligations to promote just background institutions. How wide do you think the moral responsibilities (duties) of multinational corporations extend when operating in the global context?

 

Instructions and criteria of assessment

 

In answering the above question you must draw from at least three of the papers from the class syllabus. The point is to write an argumentative essay that provides a clear and direct answer to the question concerning the moral obligations of corporations operating in the international context, and that provides reasons in support of your answer and reasons why rival conceptions fail. In other words, you will be evaluated on how well you explicate the positions being examined, on the strength of the arguments you make in support of the position you are arguing, and on the arguments you make against rival positions. The paper should be double spaced, 6 – 7 pages long, and it is due on February 7.

 

Here are some questions you should keep in mind in writing your paper:

 

Does your paper have a clearly articulated thesis?

Is the thesis supported by arguments?

Are these arguments logically structured?

Do you make use of the primary texts in defending your thesis?

Have you anticipated potential criticisms of your position and demonstrated why your position is superior to rival interpretations?

Is your writing clear and to the point?

Is your writing technically flawless, free of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors?

Do you have proper documentation in a consistent style?

Please answer the questions below. Each response MUST include at least 150 words and in-text citations. Also, be sure to include a FULL APA reference.

Please answer the following questions.  Each response MUST BE at least 150 words and include an in-text citation. Be sure to include a FULL APA reference for each response.

1. What are some issues that can affect the eye? consider things like cataracts? macular degeneration? glaucoma? What can be done to treat or prevent these issues?

 

2. We haven’t spent much time discussing the sense of taste. But this leads directly to our discussion in week 4 about hunger and eating – so to help preview next week’s discussion, please take a moment to look in the textbook or other scientific resources and share something you learned about how we sense tastes…what structures are involved? talk about receptors and/or brain structures.

 

Here is a resource to get you started on your discovery of the sense of taste: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0072592/

 

3. Imagine you have damaged your olfactory bulb and are unable to smell. How might your life be different? Discuss the different parts of the nervous system involved with smell, particularly in the brain.
4. One of the things we have talked about in the class is how people adapt to disabilities or losses. We have looked at this from a brain perspective (what happens in the brain – for a blind person, adapting to the loss of sight). But I would also like to challenge the class to think about all of the other adaptive devices and behaviors that would go into a person’s life, if they lost one of their senses.

 

For example, pick one of the following to respond:

 

• What are the things that a blind person could use to read or get information (Braille, etc) – how does the brain process this information?

 

• What are the things that can help a person who has hearing loss?

 

• What strategies can be used for someone who loses the sense of touch in a limb?

 

And overall, what are the psychological & emotional issues that often confront people who lose a sense? What does the research say about this?

 

5. What does the cerebellum do? Why is this important?

 

6. Review some of the disorders of the spinal cord, as discussed in this chapter; share what you learned.

 

TABLE 8.1 Disorders of the Spinal Cord

Disorder	Description	Cause
Paralysis	Lack of voluntary movement in part of the body.	Damage to spinal cord, motor neurons, or their axons.
Paraplegia	Loss of sensation and voluntary muscle control in both legs. Reflexes remain. Although no messages pass between the brain and the genitals, the genitals still respond reflexively to touch. Paraplegics have no genital sensations, but they can still experience orgasm (Money, 1967).	Cut through the spinal cord above the segments attached to the legs.
Quadriplegia	Loss of sensation and muscle control in all four extremities.	Cut through the spinal cord above the segments controlling the arms.
Hemiplegia	Loss of sensation and muscle control in the arm and leg on one side.	Cut halfway through the spinal cord or (more commonly) damage to one hemisphere of the cerebral cortex.
Tabes dorsalis	Impaired sensation in the legs and pelvic region, impaired leg reflexes and walking, loss of bladder and bowel control.	Late stage of syphilis. Dorsal roots of the spinal cord deteriorate.
Poliomyelitis	Paralysis.	Virus that damages cell bodies of motor neurons.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis	Gradual weakness and paralysis, starting with the arms and later spreading to the legs. Both motor neurons and axons from the brain to the motor neurons are destroyed.	Unknown.

7. Synthesize what you learned about Parkinson’s disease, and discuss the range of treatment options.

 

8. Discuss the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Give some practical examples of how these work in your daily life. This connects to our discussion next week about stress and health.

Assignment 1: Staffing Plan for a Growing Business

Due Week 6 and worth 280 points

Please choose from one (1) of the scenarios below. Note: The scenario that you choose in this assignment will be the one you continue to use for Assignment 2.

Scenario 1

You are a Human Resources Manager of an expanding technology company consisting of 170 employees that develops and distributes small electronic devices. Over the past two (2) years, a research group formed, designed, and built prototypes of small remote surveillance cameras used for security. Recently, your company won a contract to build and provide these remote surveillance cameras to various government agencies. The contract will begin with your company supplying these cameras to agencies within your home state. If all orders are fulfilled sufficiently, the contract will be expanded to supplying agencies outside of your home state.

For the immediate future, you will need to secure a larger facility and hire more staff to sustain the first part of the contract. This staff will consist of ten (10) Assembly Technicians, one (1) Certified Quality Control Engineer, one (1) Contract Administrator, and one (1) Office Support Paraprofessional. Meanwhile, there is a contract clause requiring that you provide a staffing plan in order to ensure future product deliveries and sustain the possible future growth.

Scenario 2

You are a former certified education administrator who departed your former position to become the owner of a small, in-home day care consisting of you and a part-time assistant where you care for children from age three (3) to age ten (10). Over the course of time, your demographic population has increased due to significant business growth that has resulted in many families relocating to your area. With more businesses projected to move to the area and the building of new housing developments, it is projected that this growth could be long term.

You have decided that this is a good opportunity to expand your day care business as you have received many inquiries for childcare. In order to comply with your home state regulations, you will require a larger facility and will need to hire additional staff in order to sustain the larger demand for day care. This staff will consist of five (5) Certified Day Care Professionals, one (1) Registered Nurse Professional, five (5) After-School Assistants, and one (1) Office Support Paraprofessional. You have secured approval for a bank loan and qualify for future loans for future expansion if your current endeavor is successful. Meanwhile, the state in which you operate has requested that you provide a staffing plan before it will issue licensure for your expanded capacity.

Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments.

Select one (1) of the scenarios and write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

Identify two (2) types of staffing models that could apply to your chosen scenario and determine which model would be best suited for efficiency, productivity, and possible future growth. Examine the significant effect of each identified staffing model on processes that may be occurring within the organization (e.g., outsourcing, contingent workers, consulting firms, etc.).
Predict the major potential legal issues that you may encounter when establishing equal employment opportunities and diversity within the workplace while still aiming to acquire employees with the needed certifications and credentials. Next, explain the method of achieving transparency within your staffing model. Justify your response.
Specify three (3) tasks that you need to perform to identify, analyze, and develop job requirements and task statements that you will include in formalized job descriptions. Next, predict the frequency with which you would need to review and adjust these job descriptions as your company progresses. Provide a rationale for your response.
Describe three (3) methods to deal with high employee turnover and the availability of employees with required knowledge, skills, or abilities. Next, describe the primary manner in which the described succession-planning methods would be beneficial to your company. Justify your response.
Go to https://research.strayer.edu to locate at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow the Strayer Writing Standards. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
