write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments.  

In the Mercantile period, from the 16th through the end of the 18th centuries, trade was driven by a need to accumulate gold and silver. Nations worked to restrict imports and drive exports. With the advent of the Industrial Age, classical economists began to look at trade and international commerce in a different light. In his seminal work The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith discussed the idea that the basis of trade could be seen in light of what he called absolute advantage. His contemporary, David Ricardo, took a different and modified approach and laid out a framework called comparative advantage. This latter theory is the basis for all modern views of international trade.

For this Discussion Board, complete the following:

                 Define absolute and comparative advantage.

                 Compare the two views on trade.

                 How does the concept of opportunity cost factor into comparative               advantage?

                Discuss why you think comparative advantage has become the fundamental and accepted theory of trade. Provide concrete examples.

This is not a short answer assignment and it will require careful analysis.

Fact Pattern

On a dark and stormy night, in southern New Jersey, Able, age 13, and Bonnie, age 15, discussed how great it would be if they had some money to spend on their weekend trip to the beach.  They consulted Clyde, age 21, knowing that he was very sneaky and knowing he would easily come up with a plan for the money.  The three agreed that they would go to the home of their neighbor (Nelly hereafter), take a $2000 vase from the living room, and sell it for $750, leaving them each with $250 dollars.  All agreed that Clyde would get the vase.

Clyde immediately walked to the neighbor’s front door and opened the window.  Clyde crawled in and noticed that the vase was not there.  Knowing that he needed something of value, he looked around and noticed a pure gold statue.  He picked up the statue, but he was interrupted when Nelly walked down the steps and confronted Clyde with a gun.  Clyde was frightened, and he immediately threw the statue at Nelly’s head, but it missed and struck Nelly’s husband, Hank, killing him instantly.  Clyde ran out of the house, but keeping his wits, grabbed an antique candle holder as he fled the scene.  Nelly saw that her husband was dead and had a sudden heart attack as a result.

Clyde came back to the house and told Able and Bonnie about the events.  They agreed to burn the house down to hide the evidence.  They went to their own garage and found a gas can, took some matches, and proceeded to Nelly’s home.  Able dowsed the front door with gas, and Bonnie lit the match.  Before dropping the match, the three decided together that burning the house would not solve their problems.  After Bonnie blew out the match, the three went returned the gas can to their garage.

Able decided to sell the candleholder it to a friend named Nick, an antique collector.  Able called Nick and set up the place where Nick would meet Able and receive the stolen candleholder.  When Able arrived, he noticed that Nick was wearing a significantly expensive watch, more expensive than the candleholder.  They exchanged words for a moment, but Able was thinking how much more money he could get for his vacation if he had Nick’s watch.  He thought to himself, “I could hit Nick over the head with this candle holder and take the watch, that way we would have more money.  No one would miss Nick anyway.”  As soon as this thought raced through Able’s head, he struck Nick with the candle holder.  For good measure, he struck Nick again.  Nick died instantly.  Able left the antique candle holder at the scene.  Able thereafter returned to meet his friends.

The next day, Able noticed that Nick’s watch was a fake.  In fact, the watch was a “Polex,” not a “Rolex,” but Able scratched the “P” to look like an “R.”  He went to a pawn shop and told the dealer that he had this “Rolex” to sell.  The dealer agreed and gave a check to Able for $300.  After leaving the store, Able changed the $300 to $3000 with his pen and cashed it at a local bank.

After splitting up the $3000, Able, Bonnie, and Clyde decided they should leave town and go to the beach, but they had no car.  Bonnie walked to Enis’ house, told Enis about the events, and pleaded with Enis to help them by letting them borrow his car (so they could leave town and avoid the police).  Enis agreed, but only if Bonnie would drop off a brown paper package at the home of Enis’ former girlfriend, who just broke up with Enis.  Bonnie took the package, which seemed to “tick” as if a clock were inside.  Enis said, “I want to kill my ex-girlfriend.”  Bonnie replied, “Yeah, I encourage you to do so.”  Bonnie did not ask any questions about the package and simply agreed to take it in exchange for the car.

Bonnie knocked on the door and Enis’s former girlfriend answered.  Bonnie handed her the package and walked away.  On the way back to pick up Able and Clyde, Bonnie could see through the rearview that the home of Enis’s girlfriend immediately blew up after Bonnie dropped off the package.  Enis’s former girlfriend and her parents were killed.

Undaunted, Bonnie picked up Able and Clyde and headed for the beach.  Little did they know the police had found the antique candle holder next to Nick’s body.  They quickly linked that evidence to Able, Bonnie, and Clyde.  There was an immediate APB out, and a patrolling officer (O hereafter) noticed Able, Bonnie, and Clyde in the car ahead.  O pulled the boys over.  Over the loudspeaker, O said, “step out of the car, please.”  The boys, knowing they were caught, decided it was time to bone up for what they had done.  All three calmly exited the car, raised their hands, and turned to O.  O arrested all three without incident.

  2. Which crimes committed by Clyde, if any, can be imputed on either Able or Bonnie? Explain how.
  3. What substantive crimes did Able to commit?
  4. Which crimes committed by Able, if any, can be imputed on either Bonnie or Clyde? Explain how.
  5. What substantive crimes did Bonnie commit?
  6. Which crimes committed by Bonnie, if any, can be imputed on either Able or Clyde? Explain how.
  7. Did Nelly commit any crimes?
  8. What about Nick?
  9. Discuss the transaction between Bonnie and Enis. Any crimes?

**MemorandumAn informal record, in the form of a brief written note or outline, of a particular legal transaction or document for the purpose of aiding the parties in remembering particular points or for future reference.

A memorandum may be used in court to prove that a particular contract was made. For instance, in a real estate transaction, a memorandum can be used to show that the parties to a sale have entered into an agreement to sell a particular parcel at an indicated price, in addition to other details of the agreement. This type of memorandum is also referred to as a binder.

An attorney might use a memorandum to explain and summarize a specific point of law for a judge or for another attorney.

A memorandum decision is a written decision, issued by a court, which reports the ruling, and the decisions and orders of the court. It does not, however, contain an opinion, which is an explanation of the rationale upon which the decision was based.

Overview

As you have already learned in your Discussion Board this week,  quality assurance in any project might be the most important but  overlooked aspect of a project. Lack of quality management, however, can  cause an entire project to fail if the final project deliverables do  not meet customer expectations and standards. Implementing quality  assurance throughout the project minimizes the risk of nonacceptance of  project deliverables by the customer.

In this course, you are  asked to develop a Quality Management Integration Plan (Key Assignment)  that allows you to select and integrate quality management tools,  models, and techniques in the overall performance of the project. You  will select a project that you may have developed in a previous class or  a known project in an organization.

Throughout this course, you will be working on developing several  components of your final Key Assignment. Additional information and the  deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the  assignment description for this project.

In this first Individual Project, you will submit a proposal of your  project to your instructor; develop a shell document of all sections of  the Key Assignment, complete the first three sections of the Plan. The  combined Individual Project (IP) assignments will be your final Key  Assignment deliverable.

Project Selection

The first step will be to select a project that you develop a Quality  Management Integration Plan for. This project will be used as the basis  for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to  the following guidelines:

  1. Nontrivial: The selected project candidate should reflect a real-life project.
  2. Domain knowledge: You will be applying  knowledge of this project to address assignments related to quality  management, integration, and performance.

Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your  proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the  assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first  few days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this  proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Assignment

Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use as  the basis of your Key Assignment. You will also create the shell  document for the final project Key Assignment document deliverable that  you will be working on throughout the course. As you proceed through  each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final  document to progressively complete the final project delivery, which is  the Quality Management Integration Plan.

The project deliverables are as follows:

  • Submit the project proposal to your instructor for approval.
  • Quality Management Integration Plan
    • Use Word
    • Title page
      • Course number and name
      • Project name
      • Your name
      • Date
    • Table of Contents (TOC)
      • Use an autogenerated TOC.
      • This should be on a separate page.
      • This should be a maximum of 3 levels deep.
      • Be sure to update the fields of the TOC so that it is up-to-date before submitting your project.
    • Section Headings (create each heading on a new page with “TBD” as content, except for Week 1)
      • Plan Quality Management Week 1: Project Outline
      • Plan Quality Management Week 1: Organizational Readiness for Quality Management
      • Plan Quality Management Week 1: Quality Systems Analysis
      • Perform Quality Management Week 2: Quality Dimensions and Criteria
      • Perform Quality Assurance Week 3: Quality Process Improvement Tools and Techniques
      • Control Quality Week 4: Quality Performance Monitoring and Control
      • Control Quality Week 5: Management’s Role in Quality Management
      • Control Quality Week 5: Quality Performance Communication Plan

Create the following sections for Week 1:

  • Project Outline
    • Include a brief description of the project.
    • Describe the overall project deliverables.
    • Material can be taken from the approved proposal that you  submitted to the instructor. This may serve as the draft for the  proposal.
    • Be sure that this project is approved by the instructor.
  • Organizational Readiness for Quality Management
    • Discuss which quality systems the organization employs today.
    • Discuss the organization’s readiness to incorporate the selected project.
    • Include additional support that might be required to incorporate quality management (e.g., a knowledgeable quality champion).
  • Quality Systems Analysis
    • Discuss the pros and cons of at least 3 quality systems (e.g., ISO  9000, Six Sigma, plan-do-check-act or plan-do-study-act, Capability  Maturity Model Integration [CMMI], organizational project management  maturity model [OPM3®], Malcolm Baldrige).
    • Identify which one or combination is most appropriate for this project, and discuss why.
  • Name the document “LastName_FirstName_MPM357_IP1.doc.”

“Diversity Self-Assessment.” This template (Click below) includes two components: 1. “My Diversity Wheel” 2. Identity self-reflection My Diversity Wheel On the first page of the template, complete the Diversity Wheel, using the example and guidelines provided in the Unit Lesson and Required Reading. Your completed “My Diversity Wheel” should list important demographics or affiliations that comprise your self-concept, categorized as either primary or secondary dimensions. (Be sure to use the unit lesson and readings as a guide. Also, as one example, rather than listing gender, be sure to list your specific gender.) Identity Self-Reflection On the second page of the template, write an identity self-reflection essay of a minimum of 500 words. Cite at least two sources from the Waldorf Online Library (e-books or journal articles) to support the ideas you presented, as you reflected on your own experience. Also, be sure to cite the textbook if you reference the ideas presented there. Use APA style to cite your sources. Additionally, be aware of Waldorf’s Academic Integrity Policy as you prepare your work for this course. Address the following in your essay: 1. Discuss your identity or self-concept. Evaluate how each of the primary dimensions you listed in “My Diversity Wheel” contributes to your overall self-concept. As you completed the “My Diversity Wheel” exercise, what did you learn about your self-concept? 2. How does your self-concept influence your experiences in team and organization settings? Specifically, how does your self-concept shape the way you relate with others? How does your identity influence the way others relate with you? Give specific examples, incorporating your primary and/or secondary dimensions of diversity into your discussion. 3. Describe a group within your organization or your community (either face-to-face or virtual) which you are closely affiliated. Using the Diversity Wheel, discuss the primary or secondary dimensions that this group has in common. For which dimensions are people within the group different or diverse? What draws you to affiliate with this group? 4. Why is evaluating your own self-concept important for understanding diversity and inclusion?
