Discussion Board case study Kristen’s Cookie Company

/in /by

Please read thoroughly the case study Kristen’s Cookie Company(.docx file attached) and answer the following questions below.

NOTE: please assume a labor rate of $12/hr in your calculations.

  • How long will it take you to fill a rush order?
  • How many orders can you fill in a night, assuming you are open four hours each night?
  • How much of your own and your roommate’s valuable time will it take to fill each order?
  • Because your baking trays can hold exactly one dozen cookies, you will produce and sell cookies by the dozen. Should you give any discount for people who order two dozen cookies, three dozen cookies, or more? If so, how much? Will it take you longer to fill a two-dozen cookie order than a one-dozen cookie order – and how does the level of effort compare?

Grading Rubric

After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. Reconstruction was partly a period of military occupation of the south by the northern victors. Former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Take one of the positions as suggested below, draw from the sources listed, and present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.

Possible position—in each case you can take the pro or con position:

  1. The Lost Cause narrative of the South effectively sabotaged and influenced racial policy in the US for most of the post-Civil War period. (or you can take the position that it did not)
  2. Political policies in the decades after the Civil War generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that political policies did not)
  3. Reform movements between 1865 and 1930, like the Progressives and the agrarian populists, generally led the way to increased democracy. (or you can take the position that these movements did not)

After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.). Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:

  • The position you choose (from the list above)—or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
  • To support your position, use three specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1930. You may narrowly focus on race or gender or immigrant status, or you may use examples relevant to all categories.
  • Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
  • Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession?

Length:
The paper should be 500-to-750 words in length. This normally means 3-to-4 pages for the body of the paper. (The title page and Sources page do not count in these calculations.) Double-space between lines. Format instructions are below.

Two posts about COO “Country of Origin”, business and finance homework help

/in /by

Post 1 MY COUNTRY IS CHINA

Read the one-page article, “COUNTRY OF ORIGIN EFFECT” at http://going-global.economist.com/en/2013/11/20/co… provided by The Economist Group.

Consider the subject of “Country of Origin” (COO) relative to a major export good for “Your Country.”

Use the website the Observatory of Economic Complexity (http://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/) to identify a good which most likely has a COO effect. What was the value ($s) of that good’s exports by “Your Country” in 2014? You MUST explain why you believe this product has a COO effect. In general commodities do NOT have a COO effect.

Identify the three major importers (if there are that many) of your exported good and the value ($s) each country imported.

Post 2

Review the submissions your peers made in Post 1. Choose one of their exported goods they mention to focus upon – one that few others have selected.

Use the website the Observatory of Economic Complexity (http://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/) to identify other countries which export those same goods and the value ($s) of those country’s exports in 2014.

The article you read for Post 1 suggests that COO is potentially a powerful brand ingredient that can be used to gain competitive advantage in international marketing.

Discuss whether you believe there is a COO for the exported good you selected from Post 1. What reasoning supports your beliefs?

Should exporters in that country try to associate that product with the country from which it originates? What are some ways they go about making this association?

Questions
1. According to Jamieson, there are several features of climate change that render the issues involved alien to our usual notions of commonsense morality. Discuss any two of them, explaining why they present such “hard’ issues. (100 wds.)
2. In thinking of ways to bring the harms of climate change within notions of commonsense morality, Jamieson discusses three possible methods of doing so. Ultimately he decides that only one of these even has any possibility of working. For that one possibility, he gives two theoretical strategies for accomplishing it, before concluding they might not work either. Briefly explain his reasoning regarding all this. (125 wds.)
3. Using both Jamieson and the article by Gardiner, explain which aspect of climate change both think is the hardest issue, and the prospects for using ethics to solve, or at least address, the issue. (100 wds.)
4. Jamieson notes several different ways of respecting nature. Explain each, and why he thinks we do (or should) respect nature in the first place. (100 wds.)
5. Jamieson notes a few reasons why the harms to nation-states associated with climate change don’t look like traditional injustice between states. He considers one of these to be the most serious. Describe all the reasons, but spend most of the word count to explain the most serious one. (100 wds.)

Research Designs – 11

/in /by

Analyze the differences and merits of the phenomenological proposed studies presented Below . Which design do you think would answer the question better? Explain your rationale in the response

  • Develop a brief study description (no more than three paragraphs) using a phenomenological design to answer the question: How do nursing students cope with stress? Include a brief discussion of how trustworthiness, confirmability, credibility, and consistency would be assured.

Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life and you can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts (Cleveland Clinic 2018). Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a new home, or the birth of a child produce stress. The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. It can be positive, keeping us alert and ready to avoid danger, or it can be negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors. As a result, the person becomes overworked, and stress-related tension builds. The stress response, also known as the “fight or flight response”, is activated in case of an emergency. However, this response can become chronically activated during prolonged periods of stress. Prolonged activation of the stress response can cause both physical and emotional wear and tear on the body (Cleveland Clinic 2018).

When nursing students practice health care, both in practice laboratory and in their experiences with patients, they may experience both positive and negative forms of stress (Radames, et. al, 2018). How they perceive stress is as important as how they cope with it. A phenomenological study designed to answer the question: How do nursing students cope with stress? seeks to gain knowledge and develop an understanding of the various causes of stress and how the nursing students manage it. This method consists of interviewing both current and former nursing students to gain various perspectives on factors that cause stress and how they perceive them at the different stages of their nursing studies. Other data such as age, gender, lifestyle, and socio-economic factors can also help to paint a broad picture of identifying stressors. Obtaining a broad depth of perspective and experiences is essential to understanding the various coping mechanisms and methods used to alleviate stress by the students.

Trustworthiness, confirmability, credibility and consistency can be assured through the use of consistent interview methods and data collection. Accurate, extensive documentation and the use of interview responses can ensure the absence of any bias on the research findings. The subject of stress on nursing students is not new to the research field and findings can be used in future research.
