Review Executive Order 10925. A copy can be found at: http://www.thecre.com/fedlaw/legal6/eo10925.htm.

Then, write an organized short response (3 paragraphs) where you explain:

  1. What is Affirmative Action as a social policy?
  1. What were the goals of Affirmative Action? Has it been successful?
  1. What are the basic arguments for Affirmative Action and what are those against it? Which side do you find the most convincing and why?

Be sure to support your answer with references to the textbook, appropriate outside resources, and your own personal experiences.

DEEP STRUCTURE OF CULTURE

“Mom and Dad, Guess what . . .”

Family attitudes toward nontraditional marriages have a profound impact on the success of our romantic relationships and how those attitudes have changed in the last three decades. The deep structures of culture have an indelible impact on our behavior and life decisions.

Imagine that you need to present your parents the news that you are entering into a committed relationship with someone who has a disability, practices a different religion, is of a different race OR ethnicity or is of the same sex. Think about your parents beliefs and attitudes and how they might respond and then think about how you would explain your thoughts and beliefs to them about this situation.

• What differences do you see between the imagined responses of your parent/s and your own responses?

• What is acceptable today that was not acceptable in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s or even later? What attitudes have changed very little?

• How might a family be affected by such nontraditional and intercultural marriages?

• Have you or a member of your family ever entered into a relationship with someone who was culturally different or different from what was “expected”? If so, how did people react to this new family member?

  • How does our society react in 2017 to issues such as there? What has changed?

Please answer these questions in at least 200 words You Must Use the attached book either quotation or information and cite the book.

As we talk about logical fallacies and their prevalence in the “real world” (thanks for examples!) I would like for us to continue the discussion by considering these questions:

1.Choose one fallacy from the various ones presented in the readings and explain it clearly.

2.Then find three different examples of that ONE (1) fallacy in advertisements /commercials. Find three different advertisements/commercials that utilize the same fallacy. Make sure you give us the citation information for each commercial.

3.After giving the links, explain the essence of the fallacy you are discussing. What makes it a fallacy? Then clearly explain WHY each example is a manifestation of the fallacy you are discussing. Begin by describing the fallacy and then note the way in which the fallacy appears in each of the three advertisements/commercials you have chosen.

Would you prefer a binding or incentive arbitration structure? Does it depend on the nature of the dispute? Or the disputants? Explain your choice.

2. Based on your answer to #1, which type of award model would you prefer for your dispute? Would you allow the arbitrator to have unrestricted discretion? Would you instead prefer to set mutual limits on such awards? Or would you rather use a ‘final offer selection’-type strategy? Explain your answer.
