/in /by

1. Read Chapter 9 of the Wood text: “Gendered Close Relationships” in the text pp.185-206. Read also the list of Fundamental Human Rights in e-Lecture #5.

2. Answer the following two questions. Number your response to each question.

Question #1: To what extent are gendered patterns of interaction described in Chapter 9 present in your current or past romantic relationships or friendships?

In your response to question #1, cite at least four ideas from Chapter 9 in the text to support your analysis of the relationship(s). For clarity, bold or underlineeach idea you cite, and include the specific text page you’re referencing. For example:

“The text states: ‘the belief that men have more power than women is often reflected in the distribution of labor in the home (page 199).’ When it comes to the distribution of labor in our home, I’m very glad that my fiancé and I each take an active role in keeping our residence in good shape. For instance…”

Question #2: From the list of Fundamental Human Rights in e-Lecture #5, which rights are particularly important to you in a romantic relationship or friendship, in terms of how you want to be treated, and how you want to treat your partner? Elaborate in detail.

In your response to question #2, cite at least two Fundamental Human Rights to support your position. For clarity, bold or underline each idea you cite, and include the e-lecture number for reference. For example:

“One of the rights listed in e-Lecture #5 is ‘You have the right to say no without feeling guilty.’ Examining my relationship with my friend Kelly, it’s clear that he often relies on me for favors, such as driving him to work or doing his chores. I’m often busy and don’t have time to help him. Significantly, he seems to take my generosity for granted, and rarely reciprocates. It’s very important for me learn how to set boundaries with Kelly by saying ‘no’ diplomatically when necessary…”

RE: Week 3 | Discussion

Format is critical to connect with an audience. In my previous employment, I was responsible for training required through health care mandates and organizational commitments. This included, but was not limited to, new hires, continuing education, contracted employees, and corporate goals through the Balanced Scorecard method. The process to deliver the various types of training was tedious because we had to comply with Federal and State regulations, as well as CEU requirements to ensure our healthcare providers were legally allowed to practice. The audience changed with each training class which required the format to change to adapt to my delivery so the information I was delivering could be clearly understood and applied to their job responsibilities.

I recently purchased a 2018 travel trailer from a respected RV dealership. Unfortunately, I had some issues with electricity and the propane gas that caused the air conditioner, heater, water heater, and refrigerator not operate properly. The last thing anyone wants to do is return a brand-new travel trailer for repair. For the repairs to be done I had to make an appointment with the service department, I had to leave a message, several, before I finally secured an appointment. I was told it would be three weeks before they could even look at the trailer and then at least, another three weeks to repair and return. Reluctantly, I had no choice, so I dropped it off and prepared for a minimum of six week turn around. I received a voice message from the dealership asking me to contact them after two days of the waiting process. The message was very short and sounded like another problem was about to be delivered, I braced myself when I returned the phone call. I held my breath as I was told, they had someone look at my camper already, the parts were on order and it would be ready by the end of the week. I was expecting more bad news based on my previous experience, then the tone of the voice and the way the message was left made me think another problem not a solution.

An interest group for our purpose is any organization, association, or group that is organized with a political purpose or object in mind. They are also known as lobbyists, political advocacy groups, pressure groups, associations, organizations, etc. Here are a couple of websites that list them–http://usgovinfo.about.com/blorgs.htm; http://votesmart.org/interest-groups – .VXLuR6Zw0t8

Pick an interest group in which you are interested. That is to say, pick a group that does work in a political area that you want to know more about. Answer all of the following. Answers must be typed and should indicate the number of the question being answered. Make sure you include proper citation from the Internet for each answer. Do NOT cut and paste any part of any answers. You are to put each answer into your own words. The answers to every question may not be on their website—you may have to be industrious in finding the information. You may want to call the IG as a last option or just to chat.

1.Name of the interest group (IG).

2.Website address of the IG.

3.Phone number of the IG.

4.National address of the IG.

5.Year the IG was founded.

This could include if someone from the organization was interviewed on a news show. These videos are often on the organization’s website. The video should be at least three minutes long. Include a website link to the video so that I may watch it as well.

11.Think about all you have learned about the IG and answer the following questions in a four-paragraph essay addressing all of the following points. You should have at least 2-3 paragraphs for each section: a, b, and c.

a.Name some specific goals the interest group wants to achieve. What is your assessment of the goals of this interest group? Are their goals in the best interests of the United States? Why? Are there other goals they should have or goals they should abandon?

b.Specifically, how does this interest group try to achieve its goals? Do they tend to hold conferences, run ads, lobby legislators, publish articles or books, raise and spend money for and specific things? Different interest groups employ different methods…show me you understand how this interest group tries to achieve its goals.

c.Finally, has this interest group been effective in achieving its goals. This will require some research. Don’t just say yes or no. Provide data that show specific failures or successes of this interest group. Think about how one would go about evaluating the effectiveness of an interest group.

In your response, evaluate what your peer had to say about the strategies they would implement outdoor play in their work with children. What can they add to their activities or strategies to foster more group participation? Ask your classmate questions that may cause them to re-evaluate or add components to their initial responses. 5 sentences.

There is an abundant amount of documentation outlining play’s impact on the development of children. Despite this knowledge, outdoor play’s popularity with children has been on the decline in recent years. The rise of technology is a major contributor for this negative trend. Unfortunately, as children abandon outside play they run the risk of stunting certain physical and developmental benefits that are associated with playing outdoors. Per the text, the most commonly accepted benefit of outdoor play in children is the physical exercise element of the activity (Frost, Wortham & Reifel, 2011). The rise of childhood obesity has coincided with children gravitating toward sedentary entertainment. To combat this trend, educator’s need to implement and encourage outside play. Children who engage in outside play tend to fall in a healthier weight range than their sedentary peers. Another benefit of participating in outdoor play is the acquisition of Vitamin D. Prevention of future health issues such as diabetes or heart disease have been linked with receiving appropriate levels of vitamin D (Magher, 2015). In addition to the physical benefits of outdoor play, there are also important social benefits (Frost, Wortham & Reifel, 2011). Play that is implemented outside typically involves children interacting with each other. This interaction positively affects their emotional and social development.

When I worked with children in a large youth program the physical development activity that was consistently popular was creating and participating in obstacle courses. The creation aspect of obstacle courses with materials that were on hand sparked enthusiasm and imagination with the children. The comradery helped their social and emotional development and the construction benefited them cognitively. Upon completion of the obstacle course, the children enthusiastically engaged in physical activity as they navigated their way through the obstacles. The calories that are burned in activities such as this go along ways in the fight against obesity in children.

Additionally, outdoor activities, collaborative games and explorative interactions are also a great way for children to combat social isolation. As such, children that are experiencing isolation tend to lack in the desire to play with others. This issue arises from infancy and toddlerhood, from recurring isolated instances and the lack of loving and caring family members and guardians. Not only does isolation leave a lasting impact on a child’s social development, it may also cause the child to have severe milestone delays, to include language and speech (Moutria, 2017). A great way that the elementary schools in my community help to combat this issue is with the use of a buddy bench. Teacher’s and children worked together to decorate wooden benches with vibrant colors and positive images and phrases. The benches are placed strategically around the playground areas, and when a child is feeling lonely or does not have someone to play with they go and sit on the buddy bench. The idea is that other children will see their peer sitting alone on the buddy bench, approach them and ask them if they would like to play or include them in conversation. This suggestion is something that I would like to implement into my program when I become director.

Question Overview:

Pret a Manger is a British fast food restaurant chain known for its very friendly staff and relatively healthy food. While the majority of its restaurants are in the U.K., it also has a heavy presence in the eastern United States. While the restaurant is successful in the U.K. and in American cities such as New York and Chicago, it has had only limited success in other countries so far. In 2002, it tried to expand to Japan in a joint venture with McDonald’s, but ultimately this venture failed and it withdrew from Japan by 2004. Now it is currently entering China with restaurants in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Clearly, Pret a Manager is intent on international expansion, but given its failure in Japan, it of course needs to carefully plan its expansion strategies.

Before writing this paper, make sure to carefully review:

Concepts of target markets and market selection from de Kluyver (2012)

Advantages and Disadvantages of different foreign entry mode decisions in Carpenter and Dunung (2012) and Rajagopal (2009).

Junqian, X. (2014, October 3). Pret a Manger prepares for sandwich battle. China Daily

Sanchanta, M. (2004, March 30). Pret a Manger retreats from Japanese market. FT.Com

Questions:

  1. What country or countries should Pret a Manger enter next (beyond the five countries they already operate in)? Explain your reasoning for this selection based on criteria from the background materials including de Kluyver (2012) and articles on Pret a Manger.
  2. What mode of entry should Pret a Manger use to enter this country or countries that you chose? For example, should they use a joint venture, franchising, a greenfield strategy, etc.? Refer to the concepts from Carpenter and Dunung (2012) and Jeyarathmm (2008) in your answer, and cite some articles on Pret a Manger.
