Jagmeet Singh: “A report published Monday by the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives revealed that by 11 a.m. on Jan. 2, Canada’s top- paid CEOs have already
earned what the average Canadian earns in a year. In other words, the top-paid
Canadian CEOs earn more in a day and a half than millions of hard-working Canadians
will take home in a full year.
The wages of CEOs have increased by an incredible 8 per cent over the past year, while
the wage growth of most Canadians languished at half of 1 per cent. For the first time,
the average for Canada’s top-paid CEO’s is more than 200 times that of the average
Canadian.
The top 20 per cent of Canadians in 2016 owned 67 per cent of all wealth or net worth in
Canada, while the bottom 40 per cent collectively owned just 2.3 per cent of all net
worth. And the two richest people in Canada have more wealth than 11 million
Canadians, combined.
Increasingly, we’re seeing two worlds in Canada. The world for most Canadians is
increasingly unaffordable, involves more precarious work, and is a harder place in
which to get by. The second world is an exclusive club for the wealthy and wellconnected who get special access and are exempt from rules the rest of us play by.
This is both unfair and damaging to the country’s economy.
It will take strong political will to reverse the trend of rising inequality, which began
decades ago and has continued under both Conservative and Liberal governments.
Tax avoidance and evasion by the rich undermine democracy by starving social
programs and public services. They also send a message to ordinary citizens that the
rules of the economic game are rigged against them.”

up to 3 points for posting early to this discussion (3 for posting at least once prior to Thursday night, 2 for first posting something on Friday or Saturday, 1 for otherwise posting before the deadline)
up to 5 points for the overall quality of your initial post

Introduction
In Part Two (chapters 5–7), White describes the turn-of-the-twentieth-century mythology that emerged around the romanticization of the old Spanish missions in California—especially Southern California—led by writers such as Charles Fletcher Lummis.
Here are a few highlighted quotes:
“The mission myth would have been little more than nostalgia, a story of paradise lost, if it had not made Protestant Americans the unlikely successors of the Franciscans. … Modern Americans became the true successors of Spanish padres.” (40–41)
“The myth’s purpose was less about a past reality than a future one. It arose from a modern mixture of commerce, culture, and regional rivalry—in this case between Northern and Southern California. … Lummis sold something far grander: a vision of California that turned Spanish California into a template for a progressive American future.” (41)
“The mission myth created an ideological balance within California. Drake’s landing and the gold rush focused on Northern California, and for much of the nineteenth century, California meant San Francisco. In the twentieth century, California would mean Southern California, Lummis’s Mediterranean ‘Land of Sunshine.’” (46)
“Catholics welcomed Lummis’s celebration of the missions as an antidote to the ‘black legend’ that emphasized Spanish cruelty and persecution of the Indians. They created a white legend as unnuanced as the account it opposed.” (46)

Directions
This is another open-ended discussion assignment, following closely in format last week’s discussion.
Read Part Two of the book.
Post your initial summary and reaction to White’s discussion of the mission myth, highlighting one or more of his ideas that you find most compelling. Do not feel obligated to try to summarize all three of the chapters in Part Two. Instead, pick one of the quotes above, or perhaps take another quote you find interesting, and describe what you think White is trying to say. One or two thoughtful paragraphs would be sufficient for your initial response.
Engage your classmates in a reflective conversation. As you read and re-read more of the book, and also your classmates’ comments, add to your original ideas.
You will not be able to see your classmates’ posts until you have posted something yourself, nor will you be allowed to edit your responses. Your initial response is the most heavily weighted for your score, so spend some extra time in preparing it. But also realize that you are welcome to add to and otherwise change your thinking with subsequent posts.

What are ways to be more persuasive when communicating your change effort?

Reducing Resistance to Change
Organizational transformation is difficult. In today’s world, change is the only constant that surrounds us. In business, it’s no different. For employees, this can be difficult to manage and upsetting. When striving for a successful transformation we must consider the different perceptions of those initiating change, implementing it, and being impacted by it.
This assignment will focus on the psychological aspects of change, and how to reduce resistance.
Your paper shall include a cover page and a references section, with 4-5 pages, double spaced, to answer the following questions:
Most resistance to change comes from self-interest. The first question often asked is, “what’s in it for me?”. How do you ensure that your change effort addresses a wide range of self-interests?
Misunderstanding and lack of trust are other drivers of resistance. How do you increase the level of trust in you during change?
How do you deal with powerful, negative stakeholders, that may be trying to actively derail your change effort?
