Chapter 12 (How Do Anthropologists Study Political Relations?) Discussion
Question #1 (Immigration and Ethnic Identity)
Chapter 12 uses Muslim immigration in Europe, especially France, to illustrate how immigration and politics are related. In recent times, a similar debate over immigration from the Middle East and refugees has arisen in the United States and has become a hot topic of debate in national, state, and local elections. What are some of the larger processes that have created the immigration “problem” of today? Summarize the key points concerning multicultural politics in contemporary Europe and the US that have impacted immigration, particularly of Muslim and Roma minorities (Europe), and Hispanics (U.S.). Use ONLY your textbook readings. Do NOT use outside sources.
Students will teach the lesson you prepared as a group to your classmates in this assignment. Students will present a PowerPoint video on the lesson plan assignment you submitted in their assigned groups. The presentation should be 15-20 minutes long. Students should upload the video to the assignment link. Please see the rubric uploaded. One submission per group.
Your focus while creating your PowerPoint presentations for the classroom should follow :
Outlining your speech
Preparing a well-organized layout of your slides
Gathering relevant instructional material
Balanced Implementation
Powerpoint is based on the attached lesson plan. The average age for a 4th grader is 9-10 years old.

Overview
You got the job! You have been appointed the director of strategic planning for the Fortune Global 500 company you selected in Module One. They were impressed with your detailed background research about the company’s vision and goals.
The vice president of strategy and operations (VP) has confided to you that strategic planning has been a challenge for the company over the past year, specifically crafting new strategies and aligning them to the company’s mission and goals. You have now been tasked with creating a new strategic planning proposal to help the company explore at least one new growth opportunity to increase its revenue or market share in the industry.
To create your proposal, you first need to analyze the company’s business environment and identify possible opportunities for growth. In this assignment, you will analyze your company’s internal business environment and explain its influence on revenue or market share.
Prompt
Perform an internal environment analysis of your company to understand the company’s current business environment and future goals. Use resources such as the company website, which will have pertinent information including its most recent sustainability report, and other relevant sources to help complete this presentation. You can also use the resources in the MBA Library Research Guide to conduct further research about your company.
Create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to show the results of your analysis. Use both onscreen text and speaker notes to convey your information effectively. For example, you can use brief bulleted lists summarizing the highlights of your analysis on the slide, and include more detailed explanations where needed in your speaker notes.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Overview (slide 1): Provide a brief overview of the company’s products, services, and customer base.
Existing Entities (slides 2–3): Identify at least two existing partnerships, mergers, or acquisitions. Explain how these entities contribute to the company’s revenue or market share.
Five-Year Goals (slide 4): Speculate on what the company wants to achieve in the next five years by considering its mission statement, its values and goals, and relevant sections of its sustainability report.
Guidelines for Submission
Submit a PowerPoint presentation with 4–6 slides. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

4. Your final response must be a minimum of 2 pages in length not including the title page – do not include any extra spacing or information on your first page of responses, just start answering Q1 at the very top of the page following the title page.

Research stream 2: Advanced securitisation – turning more things digital
Turning more things into instantly tradable digitised assets. Combining legal research with technology research, including smart contracts and smart titles to address this core challenge.
The second key tenant of the Digital Finance transformation is the conversion of ever more assets into digital securities, and the increased liquidity of these assets. This includes, for example, the creation and fractionalisation of digital ownership titles to physical assets. It also includes an increase in the creation and ubiquity of purely digital assets and ‘meta-assets’ like pooled investments and managed funds. Key here will be the assets and enterprises of SME’s that as a result of the cost of traditional exchanges have not had access to the key benefits of a marketplace, namely, transparency, fairness and efficiency.
This research stream will:
Investigate, measure, and track the creation of new assets.
Pursue strategically targeted asset creation and pilots based on the most promising candidates, which will achieve the highest impact as Digital Finance pioneers in the development of this market.
Develop projects that seek to evolve national and international regulatory frameworks and securities laws, in particular, the areas of digital title and their exchange forms.
Research stream 3: Distributed trading – commoditisation of marketplaces
Monitoring and analysing the distributed marketplace. Building next generation technology and finance analytics to service distributed, customised marketplaces for individual tokenised assets.
With true digital or digitised assets, the principal function of a marketplace becomes very simple – it is to facilitate the real-time exchange of one set of digital assets for another. Such marketplaces obviate the need for conventional lines of credit, and the burdensome protocols required to establish trust between a marketplace and its participants. Clearing and settlement becomes an instantaneous part of the digital asset exchange.
In turn, by reducing the barriers to set up a marketplace or exchange, this leads to potential for individual exchanges to become commoditised. A counterpoint to this commoditisation trend is the evident need for regulation, supervision, and operational certainty in new financial markets. This is not just a requirement from a government perspective, it is in fact ensured by existential self-interest of market participants. History shows that a completely unregulated market will lead to many levels of irregularities and to the ultimate detriment of an honest participant.
From the perspective of an issuer as well as an investor, the financial ‘marketplace’ will ever increase to become a distributed marketplace of many individual venues, to source or distribute digital assets.
This research stream is a combination of empirical observations, active development and trialling of technologies, processes, and suggestions for operational improvements of the distributed marketplace.
This research stream will:
Develop projects with the aim of measuring and comparing the quality of markets in terms of individual venues, as well as the quality of overall distributed markets for individual asset classes.
Discuss and develop projects that directly advise or provide technology for stakeholders in the new marketplace environment, with the aim to sensibly facilitate the transition to Digital Finance, and remove the barriers for its accelerated development.
