Find attached below the full instructions, I chose question number 1.

This week I have uploaded two stories for you to read: “Borders,” by Thomas King and “Featherweight,” by Sterling HolyWhiteMountain. Both tales explore the meaning of going “off the reservation” for American Indians. Yet the experiences they relate are very different. In a critique of 750 words or more, contrast the two stories. As we discussed in class, you should try to have a clear thesis driving your response. Think of it as a mini-essay – perhaps not as developed as a full length essay, but with the essential ingredients of a thesis and supporting examples, including quotes from the texts of the stories.
Part 2 of your assignment is to inform your critique with a bit of outside research.
One of the objectives of this course is to make sure that students are familiar with the rudiments of good literary research and skilled at incorporating research findings into their writing.
Your understanding of these two stories – especially “Borders” – can be enhanced by some background knowledge about Blackfoot Indian history and culture. I would like you to do a little research and include at least two quotes (from two separate sources) in your critique. You can conduct research on the authors, find critical commentary on the stories themselves, or look for relevant historical background information. But try not to simply adduce irrelevant facts and figures. When you quote from your research, the quote should help to support some claim or observation you are making about the story.
I know that Google can be a treasure trove of good information on just about anything under the sun. The problem is that Google mixes the good with the bad. Google makes no distinction between authoritative, reliable sources and those that are not so trustworthy. I have no objection to your using sources found in Google in your critiques and essays this semester, as long as you have “vetted” them and deemed them to be valid.
Please use the attached stories and one of the other witten sources as reference. Please cite in MLA 8 edition and some outside sources.

Evaluate the importance of 19th-century religious revival on social reform. How did religion influence abolition, women’s rights, and/or the temperance movement? How are these reforms related to each other and how did they influence the changing culture of the United States?

Do you agree with Kant that what gives your action moral worth is your motive, your reason for doing the act? If you agree with Kant, what if really bad consequences follow from an action? If you disagree, do good intentions count for nothing? Explain and defend your response.

Please read the following uploaded documents in order to answer the question below for the Essay Assignment. Please and Thank you.

What does Kant mean by a Good Will and how does he argue that it is a good will, rather than the consequences of an action that determines the ethical worth of an action? How does Kant get from acting out of a good will to the categorical imperative and treating people as ends in themselves, as the basis for moral decisions? Good Will is a technical term in Kant’s ethics and doesn’t mean the same thing as we usually mean by acting out of good will. Acting out of a good will for Kant is acting out of duty, rather than acting out of self-interest. Having duty as our motive for action is what makes our actions moral.

GOAL: Create the initial element of your Business Model Generation—your business Model Canvas.

Introduction: Using the Osterwalder and Pigneur Business Model Canvas as a resource (coupled with the other resources of the course), create a business model canvas for the company Amazon. Since every organization has unique features, do your best to work at the application of the various components of the building blocks of the canvas. Show as much detail as you can so that it is evident that you comprehend the general business model of Amazon. There must be a demonstration of synthesis of the procedure on your part. You may also benefit from conducting an Internet search of the Business Model Canvas to become comfortable with how it works. There are many other YouTube-type videos on the web that demonstrate the use of the canvas.

Instructions: Your submittal this week will be considered as a “draft” that should consist of:
1. A Cover page that provides a general description of your organization/business:
-Name of the organization (Amazon)
-Date of origination (or incorporation)
-Location (as appropriate; some entities require discretion)
-Brief overview of the purpose of the organization/business
-Description of your relationship and role in the organization/business (a loyal customer)
-Other details that enable fuller explanation (if applicable)

2. Business Model Canvas with Post-It notes (as seen in the examples):
Please use the blank PowerPoint canvas with electronic Post-Its to create your canvas
3. Create a memo (no particular format, but neatly presented) that describes what you learned about your organization/business as a result of creating the business model canvas.

Write a reflection paper of about 600-800 words detailing the story told by your elder/s and feel free to include images that they might like to share and that might inspire your artwork. The reflection paper will not be graded like a formal paper, no footnotes, citations, or formal structure needed.
However it must contain the following three parts:

1. Introduce the elder/s, their story/ies and which theme or themes relate to their story. (A paragraph will do.) Make sure you ask your interviewee whether they wish for their name to be disclosed, full name or just first name, or maybe an alias. And make sure they know that stories will NOT be posted publicly, just shared in the class.)
Retell their story.
In a separate section, reflect on how that story relates to one of the themes above. Does it relate to particular key terms or readings? If so which ones and why?
Please state them as either elderly friends, or a friend’s elders when writing the essay

Your first task in this assignment is to interview one or several “elders” – these could be parents, grandparents, elderly friends, or a friend’s elders, anyone with whom you have shared stories – and to ask them to reflect on how any of the following events in world history shaped their experiences (note that they coincide with lectures in the course and feel free to share about the course with them). Select one of the following themes as a focus for the story sharing:

The Cold War (1945-1991)
Nuclear Power
Post-1945 Economic Development (incl. “Great Leap Forward” in China)
New Nations, Third World Politics
Economic Development, Modernization (1960s-70s)
Migration & the Diaspora
Wars of Insurgency or Counter-Insurgency
The Space Race
Environmentalism
The Digital Age
Civil Rights Protests/Peace Movements

Description:
For this assignment you will be writing a report as if you were a clinical psychologist for a character in a movie. Your report is for another clinical psychologist (me). You will answer specific questions related to various terms and theories you learned in various chapters and apply it to this movie character. It is your chance to “analyze” a movie character in very specific ways.
Read book : https://openstax.org/books/psychology-2e/pages/preface
Directions:
Submit: movie title, movie character name.
For this assignment, all you need to do is choose one of the movies below and one of the characters listed. I know these movies are older, but I have vetted each one to make sure they have more than enough info to write this paper. I am working on updating them with newer films, but for now, these are the ONLY choices.
Some of these films might be on Netflix, but last I checked they were all posted on youtube or similar sites! Help your fellow peers out and if you find a full version of the film posted somewhere, post it in a discussion for others to find. I will be checking my older links to see if they are still active before I share them here.

Grading:
You will receive full points for listing your movie and movie character.

Assignment Objectives
Last week, you learned about computer hardware, and how that hardware can be virtualized. You have also learned about IT infrastructure and how the cloud can be used to support that IT infrastructure. In this assignment you will apply what you have learned to perform an analysis of comparable on-premises and cloud-based systems.
This assignment assesses the following learning objectives:
Understanding the parts of a computer system (CPU, memory, disk). You will recommend the purchase of physical and cloud-based servers based on these factors.
Understanding how to procure cloud services and how cloud services are provisioned using tools provided by Rackspace and Amazon or others.
Explore the web to learn about hardware and software providers of on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure.
Identifying how the software and hardware you design and configure contribute to an organization’s IT infrastructure.
Business Scenario
Suppose that a company is expanding their sales force and opening a new office. You have been tasked with procuring the necessary computer equipment and sales force automation software for the staff that works in the office. You will also need to procure the virtualized cloud hardware designed to implement a web server. These are all parts of the company’s IT infrastructures.
Assume that there are thirty field sales people that will need laptop computers. Each laptop computer must be the same.
There are five in-house sales people that will need desktop computers with two monitors each.
You will need to buy printers for the office.
The company has decided to use sales force automation software in the cloud. You will need to evaluate at least two vendors and determine estimated pricing.
The company requires a cloud-based database server. You will need to estimate the pricing for this server.
All of the laptop and desktop computer vendors support website shopping. Dell’s is probably the most robust and easy to use. I suggest that you compare computers from Dell and one other company, such as HP or Lenovo. There are many others to choose from, as well. For this exercise, do not use Macs. I’m not against Macs. Just suppose that a Windows-based environment is the specification.
Part 1: Laptop Requirements
The laptops that you procure must meet the following minimum (maximum) specifications:
Each should have between 4 GB and 8 GB of memory. Tell me how much memory you are configuring in the system.
The “I” family of CPUs is one of the current Intel product families. Current products include the I3, I5, and I7. Your configuration should use I5 or I7 CPUs. You might also select other CPUs from AMD or a few others. But the Intel CPUs are some of the most common.
Your laptops must have at least 300 GB of usable disk.
The laptop monitor size must be between 13 and 15 inches.
A touch screen is not required.
Part 2: Desktop and Printer Requirements
The desktop computers must meet the following specifications:
Use I5 or I7 CPUs.
The systems must have two monitors.
The systems must have at least 1 terabyte of disk space.
The systems must have at least 8 GB of memory.
The company needs one multifunction printer that can print, scan, and copy. It does not need to be color. The printer must be capable of printing thirty pages per minute (PPM). You need to find a printer company from which to buy the printer. Dell and HP sell them.
Part 3: Salesforce Automation Software
For this part of the assignment, you should take a look at two of the following salesforce automation products. They are all entirely cloud-based.
PipelineDeals
SalesForce.com
Zoho.com
You should have learned a bit about salesforce automation in your Marketing 210 class. From that knowledge, evaluate two of the three packages using suitable criteria of your choosing. Compare the prices of the two applications. As you complete the comparison, pay attention to the different license levels and how the applications are licensed.
Part 4: Cloud Server and Database Server
The virtual cloud server should run Windows and have between 4 and 8 GB of memory. The virtual cloud server should have a database.
Some cloud providers provision a database as part of the virtual server itself. In such a case, you need only one virtual server. You can use any kind of database that you want. That is, you can provision a MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or some other database. I suggest that you provision an Amazon SQL Server instance.
There are many cloud providers out there. The following links are either to websites or calculators that will help you to get the information you need.
Amazon
(Links to an external site.)
has a calculator to estimate the cost of its web services.
Rackspace
(Links to an external site.)
has a similar calculator.
We have not talked about it much, but Microsoft
(Links to an external site.)
publishes their pricing for Azure services.
Deliverables
In Word or in Google Docs, create a document in which you compare the cost and features of the four IT infrastructure parts listed above.
First, create a table to compare the laptop systems. I suggest that you create a second similar table to compare the desktop systems.
Configuration Item Computer 1 Computer 2
Computer manufacturer and model number
CPU type, speed, number of cores
Amount of memory installed
Disk information
Computer cost
Write a short paragraph to justify which computers you chose and why. Do so for both the laptop and desktop systems.
The third objective was to compare two sales force automation software packages. Based on factors such as cost and features, suggest one of two products over the other. Again, you should explore the marketing website for the two products to get the information about product features.
To fulfill the fourth objective, you should compare the cost of two cloud service providers. I suggest that you create a similar table to the one above for the virtualized systems. Of course, the CPU and other devices are virtual cloud devices.
Create a summary table that depicts initial and monthly recurring costs to implement the system. I suggest that you do this in Excel or Google Sheet. Your spreadsheet should identify and summarize all of the one-time initial costs. These initial costs include the cost of all the laptops and the two desktops. You should identify and summarize the recurring monthly costs for the cloud services (hosting and sales force management).
