Classics/History 1M03 Dr. J. Reeves Winter 2018 Essay Assignment #1 The Religious Scandal of 415 In 415 BC, during a lull in the Peloponnesian War, the Athenians decided to mount an enormous campaign against the city of Syracuse in Sicily. The expedition was prepared at tremendous cost and no expense was spared. To the eyes of the other Greeks it looked as though Athens was making a display of its power in an aggressive campaign designed not just to overawe Syracuse nor even the whole of Sicily but to signal to the Greek world the might and dominance of Athens. Just prior to the launching of the Sicilian expedition, the largest and best-equipped armada ever assembled by the Athenians, a religious crime shook the confidence of the city. All throughout Athens (at people’s front doors, at crossroads, at the entrances to the Agora, for example) stood Herms (Hermai in Greek), four-foot stone pillars with the god Hermes’ head carved at the top and genitals at the front. Shortly before the expedition was due to sail, a group of men in the city mutilated a large number of these Herms, defacing and (probably) castrating them. This in itself—an act of sacrilegious vandalism—was deeply offensive to most Athenians. Moreover, Hermes, the messenger god, patron of travelers, was for Greeks the god who oversaw comings and goings. The desecration of these Herms, therefore, was a chilling omen to many. In response the crime, the Athenians hastily organized incentives for witnesses to come forward. In the days of denunciations that followed, the names of several prominent Athenians came to light as suspects in this and other religious offenses; among the individuals named was Alcibiades, one of the generals of the imminent campaign and Athens’ leading political figure. How and why Alcibiades became the chief suspect of crimes that undermined his own expedition are interesting historical questions to which the ancient sources give partial and sometimes conflicting answers. Instructions for assignment: 1) Read through all the ancient accounts (collected below) of the events surrounding the scandal of 415 and clarify for yourself what you think Alcibiades’ role was. Consider what kind of figure Alcibiades was in Athens. Did others have reason to frame him? If so, who are the likely culprits and why? Was he guilty of any of the charges brought against him? What impact, if any, did the mutilation of the Herms have on the Sicilian expedition? Were there wider consequences? 2) Having read the sources carefully and critically, write a 1200-word essay on the subject (about FIVE double-spaced pages). In your paper, you may choose to address all or some of these questions, or you may choose to pose your own questions of the material. The goal of this (and any other) essay should not be to produce a report that merely describes what you find in your sources, but to produce an argument based on your reading of those sour ...

There are many different things that can cause a company’s actual value to be skewered in real life from what an investor would perceive it to be on paper. One key thing to consider when evaluating a company’s worth is their market value compared to book value. As our text explains, market value is what the company is essentially worth in the stock market. Book value is the value of the company on paper according mainly to the balance sheet. A key ratio when determining worth is the companies Price-to-book ratio which will show you how much the company is worth based on the stock market compared to their balance sheet. A high ratio would indicate the company is worth much more than their assets alone which is what any investor would demand. A number falling under one could reflect that the company isn't performing up to a break even, or up to what they are even worth on paper. Other key ratios include ROA (return-on-assets) and ROE (return-on-equity) which are key indicators of how the company performs given its financing. Efficiency is another key area for many investors which shows how much money or how well a company can operate on what they have. If two companies are in the same industry, and company A can produce $100M in NOI with four employees, while it takes company B six employees to meet the $100M mark, then company A will have a higher efficiency ratio. The same principal goes for machinery that is being considered for purchase. A financial manager will consider the cost it takes to run the machine compared to its production load. Investors looking at efficiency essentially want to know their investment is being “maximized” to its fullest potential. High efficiency ratios create value for shareholders with maximized profits on assets (Fundamentals of corporate finance). This value isn't always reflected in the financial statements as efficiency ratios can be high or low regardless of the size of the company or the income it brings in. Also discussed in our book, price to earnings or the P/E ratio is a key ratio that should be evaluated before any investor invests in a company. Once again, the income statement and balance sheet does not directly reflect this ratio, as fluctuations of income from company to company lead to different ratios. A company with very small income can have a high P/E ratio while a multi-billion dollar corporation can have a smaller ratio. It is up to the company executives to create value for all shareholders regardless of income, and make sure the dividends show growth. Many investors are not interested in companies that grow. Most would invest in a company today with a smaller dividend that will grow, than in a company that has a larger dividend but isn't growing (Between the numbers). Brealey, R. A., Myers, S. C., & Marcus, A. J. (2018). Fundamentals of corporate finance (9th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Education. Chapter 4 measuring market value Oberoi, R. (2014, September 01). Between the numb.

There are challenges to agenda building that if not dealt with carefully and skillfully can adversely affect an issue or a proposal that you are trying to place in front of a decision maker. On the other hand, no matter how expertly you build an agenda for your issue or proposal, some issues are going to simply be avoided or not selected for consideration. Why is this so? In this Small Group Discussion, you explore challenges surrounding policy agendas and the reasons why some proposals never make it to the decision maker. Post your responses to the following questions presented for Small Group Discussion: Many social issues do not receive the necessary attention from decision makers. Why might these issues be cast aside? Some issues lack sufficient support to ensure that they are added to decision-makers' agendas. Why might this be? Some issues receive significant attention from decision makers. Why might these issues easily find their way onto decision makers' agendas? .
