Discuss about a course on Islamic Civilization 101 at the Islamic Online University. I have an assignment with 2 questions. Please choose one of the questions and answer following strictly the instruction in the assignment sheet. I will upload the lecture note for reference of what materials to you.
Please respond to ONE of the following prompts and discuss how cultural differences and misunderstanding can influence the result of certain situations based on what we’ve covered in class. Please keep in mind that this exam is used to gauge your understanding of how the dimensions of culture and identity work together to help people make meaning of their experiences and interactions with people from different backgrounds. Prompt #1 – Healthcare Choose where the patient is from and do outside research to understand that community’s approach to illness, healthcare, and family involvement. An immigrant family finds out that the patriarch of their family is sick. The patient’s primary doctor is a 35-year-old Caucasian man from the midwest. He comes from a family of doctors. After giving the patient his diagnosis, the doctor schedules a meeting to discuss treatment options with the patient. The patient’s family has requested to attend the meeting as well. The family consists of the patient’s wife and three daughters. You are asked to help the doctor ensure the family receives and understands the information needed to care for their loved one. What should the doctor know and understand about the culture before meeting with the family in order to reach a shared understanding of the patient’s treatment plan? How would you advise the doctor to deliver messages? Please cite any sources you use to provide insight about the immigrant community you’ve chosen. Questions to Consider: 1. What are the differences between the chosen community’s approach to healthcare and the American approach to healthcare? 2. How does the chosen community interact with authority figures? 3. What gender and familial roles exist within that community that might influence the family’s perception of the visit? Who makes the decisions for the family? 4. How might language, nonverbal behavior, and rules of conversation influence the exchange of messages during the meeting? Prompt #2 – Business Provide supporting evidence for any claims you make about Swedish and Japanese business culture and etiquette. Two companies are entering a business agreement. In a preliminary meeting, both companies decide to put together terms of agreement and meet in person to discuss those terms. Company A is based in Sweden and Company B is based in Japan. At the meeting, a lawyer serves as the representative for Company A. The CEO and board members of Company B represent Company B. The lawyer from company A explains the conditions of company A’s participation in the business deal. Company B explains their goals and expectations for the partnership. Once all parties have said their piece, it’s time to decide how to move forward. Company A’s lawyer suggests that more time is needed to consult with the rest of Company A. Company B leaves the meeting feeling disgruntled because everyone who was needed to finalize the decision was present at the meeting. They viewed Company A as unprepared and unprofessional. Company B is now unsure about continuing business with Company A. How can these two companies repair their business relationship? Questions to consider: 1. Why did these challenges arise? 2. How are business decisions made in Sweden? How are business decisions made in Japan? 3. What constitutes an agreement or a commitment in these particular cultures? 4. Who has the final say in business decisions? 5. How do these cultures value and treat time in business? 6. What role do uncertainty and expectations play in this scenario? Prompt #3 – Education Please cite your sources to support your response. In a business class, students are assigned into groups and asked to design a business plan and present the proposal to the director of the business department for their final grade. This project will determine whether each student is accepted into the upper-level classes of the major. The groups are chosen at random. One group consists of four students from different parts of the world. Student A and Student B are from the United States (student A is from a small town in Virginia and student B is from a small town in Northern California), Student C is from Kenya, and Student D is from Saudi Arabia. There are differences in the goals, motivations, and personal lives of each student. How does each student’s culture influence their expectations of how group work is executed and completed? What challenges may arise for the students as they complete their project? How can they work through their differences to get a passing grade? Questions to consider: 1. What are the cultural differences that might influence how this group decides to go about completing the project? Consider standard group work etiquette for each culture. 2. How do the students view their classmates? As friends? Colleagues? Or as strangers grouped together for the sole purpose of completing the work? 3. If this is a semester-long project, how close do you expect the group to get based on the rules of group work interactions? 4. What dimensions of culture might influence the group dynamic? (Power distance, collectivist vs. individualist, high context vs. low context, etc.)

Scarcity [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 2, 4, 5]
Scarcity is the starting point for studying economics. Resources are limited, while human wants are unlimited. Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chelsea Follett’s article, Are Humans Prepared to Overcome Resource Scarcity in the Future? (Links to an external site.) as well as Chapter 1 Section 1.2 in your textbook, and respond to the following:
• Explain what resources are.
• Evaluate why current resource scarcity is problematic.
• What future problems would result from scarce resources?
• Do you agree or disagree, and why, with Chelsea Follett about overcoming future resource scarcity?
• Recommend one strategy to overcome present and future resource scarcity.

Part 2.
Coke Versus Pepsi [WLO: 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3]
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 3 in the textbook. A change in quantity demanded (or a movement along the demand curve) is caused by a change in its own price, while a change in demand (or a shift of the demand curve) is caused by a change in nonprice determinants that include changes in consumers’ income, taste or preference, price of other goods, expected future price, and so forth. Respond to the following:
• If Coke’s price increases, what will happen to the demand for Pepsi, all other things being equal?
• Explain whether it is a movement along the demand curve or a shift of the demand curve.
• If Coca-Cola develops a new technology that makes Coke tastier, what will happen to the supply curve and demand curve for Coke?
• Is the demand (curve or schedule) for Coke or Pepsi seasonally different?
• What is the relationship between Coke and Pepsi? Do they have the same demand curve or are they different? Explain your reasoning.
Part 3.
The Price Elasticity of Demand [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3]
The price elasticity of demand is people’s responsiveness of quantity demanded (or consumption) when there is a change in price. Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 4 of the textbook.
Respond to the following:
• Identify the determinants of the price elasticity of demand. Explain each one.
• Determine whether each of the following items is elastic or inelastic: bottled water, gourmet coffee, Apple cell phones, and gasoline. Explain your reasoning.
• Distinguish between a necessity and a luxury.
• How are the price elasticity of demand and total revenue related? Why is the price elasticity of demand important to pricing?
Part 4.
Externalities [WLO: 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7]
Externalities are costs or benefits associated with consumption or production that are not incurred by the consumer or producer and are therefore not reflected in market prices. The cost or benefit of an externality remains external when falling to parties other than the buyer or seller. Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 6 of the textbook.
Respond to the following:
• Describe some differences between a positive externality and a negative externality.
• Provide one example of a positive externality and a negative externality, respectively. Explain your reasoning.
• How could you solve your examples of externalities to attain market efficiency?
• Does the government need to intervene with externalities to effect market efficiency?

In your response, please say why what has been found would not be expected if these memory systems were based on only one underlying memory system.
Watson had famously stated that the talents and tendencies of the organism did not matter and that it was only the environment that mattered. However, Garcia and colleagues showed that making rats ill after being exposed to a novel taste (flavored water) resulted in greater aversion to the water than did having them receive electric shocks.
How do Garcia’s findings go against Watson’s claim? Please discuss (10 pts.).
3. Sidanius and Veniegas (2000) reject the commonly held assumption that racism and sexism are similar forms of discrimination. In fact, these authors place them in two separate categories. Please 1) discuss the different categories mapping onto each of the abovementioned forms of discrimination and 2) why these authors argue for this differentiation in terms of function and relative severity (10 pts.).
