Identify and reflect on an experience or several related experiences that had an impact on your life. This specific experience could be one that forced you to think in a different way about yourself, about someone you know, about people in general, about your community, about the world—about something or someone in particular. While you may want to narrate the specific incident you write about, you should also look back at the experience and try to make sense of it from where you are now in your life. In other words, analyze this experience and try to arrive at some larger meaning, a meaning that goes beyond your own personal experience to speak to your readers’ experience. Also, it’s probably a good idea to keep your focus limited. Writing about a religious experience, for example, may be too big an issue for this paper.

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL CLIMATE CHANGE CHALLENGE
How Climate Change Affects Business

The purpose of this climate change challenge is for you to obtain, firsthand, a closer look and understanding of the implications for business, society, and the world at large, in recognizing this reality especially in the context of sustainability and full consideration of the triple bottom line ESG framework – environment, social and governance. This midterm assessment will succor to formulate and to critically analyze the interdependency of the causes, current impacts, and likely future consequences of climate change – if the world continues to ignore its state of severity. The objective is to articulate and debate about what should be done in the midst of this global environmental crisis; and to explore the implications for the firm/organization and sector in the industry you choose.

Therefore, for a start you would need to:
choose a private company or non-profit organization whose operating model is likely to be significantly affected by climate change’s physical manifestations and/or related regulations, including threats and opportunities associated with mitigation and/or adaptation.
Describe how the organization is likely to be affected, the steps the organization is taking (if any) to address those effects, then describe and justify what additional steps you think the organization should consider implementing.
Finally, make recommendations on how they should implement the changes needed.
For an initial analysis of the phenomenon, read the attached article of Henderson et. al. (2017) about the Climate Change in 2020: Implications for Business, and also visit the additional reading materials from previous modules as produced by the international organizations (e.g. UN system), private sector, think tanks, etc. so that you can formulate what these organizations are (or aren’t) doing to address climate change. You will deliver a 5 pages document (including cover and abstract on same page, and last page as references for a total of 7 full pages).

INSTRUCTIONS:

Create a Cover Page with Title of the Midterm Exam, Student Name, and Abstract.

Abstract (1/2 page max): Provide a brief, succinct statement of the purpose of your report, central issue, the methods of your data collection, and your key findings, conclusions, and recommendations. A good overview/abstract provides a clear synopsis of your recommendations and includes a very brief statement on methodology used to justify your conclusions. The overview condenses the entire report into a mini version for those who will not read the full report. Share an overarching question. Hint: Write this last.

Table of Contents IS NOT NECESSARY, AND USE THE FOLLOWING SUB-PARTS:

a. Overview of Selected Organization (1 page): Company’s name and background/profile? What is the nature of the business or service provided by the organization? What is its history and mission? How is this organization being affected by climate change? Does the firm/organization have a diversity and inclusion program in place? Is gender equity being addressed? What is the female manager count?

b. Diagnose the Organization (2 pages): describe the climate change issue being faced by the focal organization; what the current strategic responsiveness have been, and any reported faces of change (Spector, 2013). If a sustainability program already in place, you can, in addition, draw on Benn et al (2019) Phase Models and Phases to understand where the organization is, in terms of integration models and level of engagement in CS.

c. Apply theory to practice (2 pages): Based on your theoretical analysis, what course of action do you recommend that the organization take? Which strategic responsiveness (see Spector, 2013; from Building a vocabulary of change, to key theoretical approaches from any or a variety of chapters in the book) would you suggest this organization follow? What recommendations do you offer to raise its gender equality, ethics and inclusive programs?

d. Conclusion and Next Steps (1 page): What do you foresee as the next steps the organization will need to make to move this project forward in the short term? What about the long term? What will be the major challenges and opportunities moving forward? Which phase model of integration do you now recommend the organization take, and why? (Benn et al 2019).

References: Please use APA or MLA for your citation and reference style. APA preferred.

Many stories depict events out of chronological order. For example, “Sonny’s Blues” makes liberal use of flashbacks. Write an essay discussing the significance of sequence in “Sonny’s Blues.”

Write a Presentation on your business canvas model.

GOAL: You are to construct a three-generational family genogram that reflects both biological family relationships and emotional relationship dynamics among family members. You are to describe the noticeable family patterns that emerge from the genogram while applying the theories and concepts learned in class. Last, you are to discuss and reflect on the learning that occurred while doing this assignment and the potential impact of your own family experiences on your work with families. (Learning Outcomes 1, 2 and 3)
This assignment can be based on your own family OR the following film.

Learning Outcomes
1. Describe diverse family structures and dynamics and integrate with knowledge of individual dynamics and intervention.
2. Identify implications of one’s own family of origin issues and the role these play for “use of self” in working with families.
3. Demonstrate an appreciation for the family as a primary medium for nurturance and socialization, while illustrating respect for social and cultural diversity in families.

If using your own family, you do not need to include anything you do not feel comfortable sharing. Papers will be viewed by myself. Papers should be double-spaced, 1-inch margins, and pagination. Papers should be 10-12 pages excluding genogram and references and adhere to APA guidelines. Additionally, the paper should include citations from 3 separate sources, one of which can be the textbook. Do not reference the instructor’s power points or lectures. While this paper does not require a full literature review as would a research paper, you should be referencing the text and other sources to highlight family patterns you see (e.g., triangulation, intergenerational transmission, roles, etc.). Furthermore, if you are mentioning any family challenges (which you likely are) you should cite ideas and concepts tha are not your own. More specific details will be given regarding the content of the paper.

Write an information about the HIV/AIDS burden of disease, testing, preventive efforts, cultural norms regarding HIVAIDs in Nigeria.

2. What is the research method used to collect data? (ex: interviews, survey, experiment, ethnography, etc.)
3. What are the findings/results of the study?
4. What conclusions are made based on the findings? In other words, what does this mean for society?
5. Which sociological perspective is used/assumed – Functionalist, Conflict, or Symbolic-Interactionist? Explain how
you determined this.
6. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the research design?
7. If you were trying to answer the same question or test the same hypothesis, what would you have done differently if
you had unlimited resources at your disposal?

This assignment should be typed, double-spaced, with 12-point font. Make sure you include a reference page
including the article title, author(s), year, journal title, and pages (You may use MLA or APA format). Please note
that there is a difference between the “journal title” and the “article title.”

Your choice: You only need to select one question from the
list below:

1. Evaluate
how the Diplock Commission was set up to look at ways of dealing with the legal
aspects of controlling terrorism in a democratic society.
2. The
Schengen Agreement currently allows for the free movement across European
borders – if this becomes curtailed, will this likely prevent terrorist attacks
in the future (bearing in mind that Europe has been home to numerous terrorist
organizations prior to the Schengen Agreement)?
3. Islamic
extremism is on the rise and this has been evidenced by the failure of the
Libyan regime. What opportunities are there for the Islamic state to make
inroads into the regions of Palestine neighboring Israel?
