Describe what happens to Jurgis and family and how the reality of his experience living in America turns out much different than what he initially thought it would be.

When Jurgis and his family first arrive in America, they have many ideas about what opportunities they will have and how they will be able to take advantage of a new life in a new country. As The Jungle goes on, almost of all Jurgis’s dreams about how things will turn out for him and his family are dashed (destroyed).
In a well-organized essay of 4 pages, describe the thoughts and dreams Jurgis and his family have upon arriving in America. Then throughout your essay, describe what happens to Jurgis and family and how the reality of his experience living in America turns out much different than what he initially thought it would be. Some themes to explore in your essay are the working conditions; the corruption; housing; and sanitation. Don’t feel you have to address each one of these; pick a few major points for your essay that describe the contrast from what Jurgis and his family members initially hoped for and what they actually experienced.
You probably should find three or four quotes from the beginning of the novel that capture the initial thoughts of Jurgis when he arrives and then also find three or four quotes from later in the novel that illustrate how things actually turned out.

Critically discuss the ways in which ideas of Black inferiority and the place of Black people in the U.S. and the Diaspora are represented through negative ideas about Black culture; i.e. “broken families,”

Critically discuss the ways in which ideas of Black inferiority and the place of Black people in the U.S. and the Diaspora are represented through negative ideas about Black culture; i.e. “broken families,” parental irresponsibility, poverty, sexuality, childbearing, and criminality/incarceration. As a basis of your discussion, use specific representations (i.e. narratives, arguments, presentations of data, etc.) of African American culture found in the D.P. Moynihan report (as discussed in class) and/or the Moyers video below. Please also discuss possible alternative structural explanations (economic, racial, gender) of the continued problems that Black people have in U.S. society that might debunk the ideas presented in the Moyers video and/or in D.P. Moynihan’s report.

This prompt tests your understanding of the “cultural deficiency” explanations as to why it is that Black people are not as successful as whites in U.S. society and the structural alternative explanations of Black people’s subaltern position.
Acceptable answers will provide a basic understanding of the Moynihan/Moyers thesis about Black cultural values and their relationship to Black achievement. Answers at this level should also include the basic structural arguments against the purely cultural argument.
Good answers should do all of the above. Additionally, the discussion of the Moynihan/Moyers thesis should clearly articulate why this is a cultural argument. The response must also lay out the alternative structural explanations by clearly reviewing structures of patriarchy or sexism and the role that they play in inhibiting the viability of Black families.
Excellent answers should do all of the above, will be well written and clear, will use readings from the class to make their points, and will be particularly adept at using materials from the class to analyze the speeches and videos.
Overall fluency with the conceptual categories and demonstration of a critical approach in utilizing conceptual categories presented in class in relationship to the everyday evidence provided in a well written essay is what we are looking for. There are no completely right or wrong answers. We are looking for thoughtfully analytical answers that use the class materials to understand the issues involved in and behind the prompt.

Describe two examples of situations where your beliefs were challenged, one where you reacted in a more open-minded fashion, and one where you tended toward a more fortress-like response.

Please answer the following question with respect to the handout on Sexuality, Science, and the Bible (attached).

Prompt:
We probably all aspire to have the “Open to New Ideas” or at least the “Cafeteria Plan” approach when our beliefs are challenged, but let’s face it we all probably act more in keeping with the “Fortress” mentality from time-to-time. Describe two examples of situations where your beliefs were challenged, one where you reacted in a more open-minded fashion, and one where you tended toward a more fortress-like response. What differentiated the two situations? Was one topic a more sensitive one for you? Was it something about the way the challenge was presented? Did it make a difference who you were with? Or was it simply a matter of what sort of mood you were in that day? (Or maybe some combination of factors…)

Problem-Solving Application—HBO + TNT + TBS + CNN + ETC = New AT&T
The merger of communications titans AT&T and Time Warner appears to be off to a promising start, following regulatory approval and a series of leadership changes initiated by AT&T executive John Stankey. However, the difficult work of integrating the processes, employees, and brands that make up Time Warner lies ahead. This activity is important because it is critical not to underestimate the size of this task and the planning and work necessary to execute a merger or acquisition of this magnitude.
The goal of this activity is for you to consider the various challenges faced by AT&T to successfully integrate Time Warner and create a new company that maximizes its strategic and organizational potential.
Read about the AT&T/Time Warner merger. Then, using the three-step problem-solving approach, answer the questions that follow.
There are more than 26 characters in the alphabet soup created in the merger between AT&T and Time Warner, given the latter included HBO, TNT, TBS, CNN, Warner Bros. movie studio, and other assets. AT&T finally prevailed in its efforts to acquire Time Warner for over $85 billion, which required it to win a suit filed by the Justice Department seeking to block the merger. AT&T argued that such a marriage would not be anti-competitive and limit choice for consumers, but by combining the companies it was necessary to be competitive in a radically different landscape that blurs the previous lines between content and distribution. This merger says a lot about AT&T’s strategy for dealing with these challenges and how it plans to grow in the future.
History and Additional Motives for the Marriage
Telecom companies have historically offered cable, telephone, and mobile services, however now, AT&T not only needs to compete with Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint, but also the likes of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Apple, many of whom create content and provide distribution. The future is now, and it requires telecom companies to combat the millions of people who have cut the cable cord while at the same time attracting the millions that sign up for streaming services.
Some experts claim these changes are essential to the survival of a company like AT&T, and as a result the company is expected to be more attractive to investors and consumers. Moreover, if AT&T’s larger portfolio attracts more eyeballs it will also attract more advertisers and boost revenues and profits further still.
What Is Required to Realize the Value?
The merger expands the products and customer bases of all of the brands involved in the merger, but this complexity also requires masterful change leadership. Many of these assets, notably HBO, have long and very successful histories. The challenge will be minimizing conflict and fostering collaboration and cohesiveness among employees (nearly 270,000 in the combined company), processes (decision making, HR, technology, and communication), and products (streaming, content, technology, mobile, and cable). This therefore represents an enormous leadership challenge.
Leading the Change Efforts
John Stankey, an AT&T executive who was immediately put in charge of Warner Media, put it simply: “If you don’t make a change, you’re not going to get any change in the product.” In this spirit he quickly made a number of senior leadership moves. He brought in Robert Greenblatt who had a long successful career at NBC and Showtime, and effectively offered him his dream opportunity, as he will now oversee HBO, considered the crown jewel of the acquisition, along with Warner’s planned streaming service. Also joining the team is Jeff Zucker (formerly chief at CNN) who will not only oversee larger business than he did at his previous job, but he also leads a portfolio AT&T sees as especially important to its strategy and future. However, the shakeup also includes departures, such as Richard Plepler who worked at HBO for more than two decades and has been its chief executive and face of the company for the past several years, and David Levy the president of Turner Broadcasting. Neither was fired but both left presumably because there were clear signals their roles would be much smaller in the new company, which would mean their previous considerable autonomy and influence would be diminished.
Potential Obstacles
With regulators seemingly out of the way, the new and existing leadership has many things to tend to. For instance, Mr. Stankey’s leadership style has been questioned. Critics say he is quite opaque in communicating his thoughts and plans, which has been quite frustrating to many employees. And given the enormity of the task, the skills of many leaders will be put to the test. Among the many challenges will be to reduce conflict, foster collaboration, and integrate cultures. Competitors certainly won’t relent and are likely to respond with their own efforts, such as Apple’s planned streaming service, alliances between content providers and telcos like Netflix and T-Mobile, and Comcast’s acquisition of many 20th Century Fox’s assets. Reputations of the brands and their associated leaders will undoubtedly both help and hurt in the merger process, as will employee resistance. Employees that are dissatisfied with their situation in the new company may resist the changes or even quit, while those who are happy and satisfied may see new opportunities and commit.
Assume that you are Mr. Stankey. Apply the 3-Step Problem-Solving Approach to identify the problems, causes, and potential solutions included in the case.
Apply the 3-Step Problem-Solving Approach
Step 1: Define the problems facing AT&T.
Step 2: Identify the potential causes.
Step 3: Make your recommendations.

Explain and examine the business concepts of quality management and lean systems.

Explain and examine the business concepts of quality management and lean systems.
In the modern world, businesses and individuals need to optimize their efforts to gain effectiveness and efficiency. Also, concepts of sustainability, continuous improvement, and processes that ensure increased value are considered to track operations management towards success.
Many of the terms of quality management and lean systems come from Japanese culture and language, due to Dr. W. Edwards Deming’s research occurring in Japan. Deming is often referred to as The Father of Quality due to his foundational role in the establishment of Quality Management.

Discuss how videos are made and what they typically contain.

apply Griswold’s cultural diamond to a specific object of your choosing
Describe the object
-You should offer a detailed description of your chosen object. What is it called? How is it put together?
-for example, if you are focusing on music and want to use an example of a music video: focus then on what a music video is. Discuss how videos are made and what they typically contain. Discuss the details of your chosen video, based on information that you can find.
Provide information/background on the object
-This is really an extension of point #1, but it delves a bit into the history of that object
-e.g., if you were analyzing a Megan Thee Stallion video, you would want to say a bit about Megan Thee Stallion’s music career, her music genre, and its history, and (briefly) the history and contexts of music videos.
What is the object used for? How? How typically used? Where, when, by whom and why?
-Here the key is to apply Griswold’s framework, particularly the idea of cultural receivers and usage contexts.
-e.g., how are music videos used, typically? Where, when, by whom and why? Try to address these types of questions.
Meaningfulness of the object?
-Here the key is to apply Griswold’s framework, particularly the idea of cultural meaning.
-e.g., what meanings or interpretations have critics and/or observers (such as in YouTube comments) given to Megan Thee Stallion/music videos? What is your response to their interpretations? What might these meanings be referring to? What is the analytic relevance of this?
Connections to other points of the diamond?
-any other relevancies from Griswold or other course materials? How can these be applied?
Your conclusions?
-Having looked at this object and having applied Griswold, what deeper insights and understandings can now be made for this form of culture? What does the analysis tell us about the nature of culture?
