Appraise the prospects for the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt now that that country is in turmoil. respond to below 50 to a 100 words keep separate from above Mohamed Bouazizi a 26 year old from Tunisia burned in himself in December 17, 2010 frustrated with Tunisia's job market. His action caused bloody protestant who were equally frustrated about Tunisia's economy. It drove the president to leave the country. His action also has weight into what happened in Egypt in 2011. The Egyptian were tired of weak economy and were frustrated to see dictatorship which gained all benefits of the country to their family and people around them. This has caused the government to shut down the Internet and the phone. This caused other nations to lead bloody protests in Jordan, Yemen, Algeria, and other Arab nation. Citizens in Arab nations were also frustrated about the western countries supporting the dictators also. Muslim Brotherhood plays a huge roll on elected officials, because they are a very powerful Muslim group which was found in Egypt. Elected officials work with them fearing to lose power if they don't cooperate. .

ARAB SPRING AND THE THEORY OF RELATIVE DEPRIVATION
This document summarizes the Arab Spring uprisings that began in 2010-2011 across several Middle Eastern and North African countries. It provides context on the political and economic grievances that fueled the protests, such as high unemployment, corruption, and lack of political freedoms. It then examines the uprisings in several countries in more detail, highlighting the role of social media and relative deprivation theory. The uprisings had varying outcomes, successfully ousting authoritarian leaders in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen, while violent conflict is still ongoing in Syria.
ESSHBS-15-179
The document discusses the socio-economic factors that contributed to the Tunisian revolution in 2011. It finds that while Tunisia enjoyed relatively high GDP and economic growth, wealth was highly concentrated and most people faced poverty and unemployment. The revolution was driven by high youth unemployment, rising food and living costs, corruption, and restrictions on civil liberties. Social media also helped protesters organize and spread information about the uprising. Thus, the combination of economic grievances and dissatisfaction with the authoritarian political system led Tunisians to rise up and overthrow the long-standing regime.

1. The Arab Spring began in December 2010 in Tunisia as a result of high unemployment, poverty, and political repression under authoritarian regimes.
2. Inspired by protests in Tunisia, protests erupted throughout the Arab world calling for democratic reforms and the end of dictatorial rule.
3. Social media played a key role in facilitating organization and spreading awareness of the protests internationally. Pages like "We are All Khaled Said" helped coordinate the Egyptian uprising.
4. While some countries underwent democratic transitions, others like Syria descended into civil war as regimes cracked down on dissent. Over a decade later, the impacts of the Arab Spring continue to reshape the region.
North African Issues
This document summarizes the political situations in several North African and Middle Eastern countries. It describes the authoritarian leaders in power in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, and Eritrea. Mass protests have led to the ouster of leaders in Tunisia and Egypt, with concerns that other countries may experience similar unrest. It also discusses concerns around human rights violations, conflicts, and threats from al-Qaeda in other countries in the region like Somalia, Chad, Western Sahara, and the Sahel region.

Social Change and The Arab Spring
The Arab Spring began in December 2010 in Tunisia after a fruit seller set himself on fire to protest government corruption and oppression. Massive street protests erupted demanding political reform. Through social media, the protests spread to other countries in the region, toppling authoritarian regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and elsewhere. Social media played a key role in organizing and publicizing the protests internationally, and though some governments tried to shut down access, citizens found ways to communicate and coordinate their uprisings.
THE INTERNET: CATALYSING A LEADERLESS REVOLUTION
The document summarizes how social media, especially Facebook and Twitter, catalyzed a leaderless revolution in Tunisia that led to the overthrow of President Ben Ali in January 2011. Widespread protests were fueled by years of repression and censorship under Ben Ali's regime. Activists effectively used social media to document and spread information about the protests online when traditional media was censored. As videos, photos and hashtags spread, international attention and pressure grew, weakening Ben Ali's control. Ultimately, social media played a critical role in empowering citizens and helping the revolution succeed where it may not have otherwise.

Social media played a key role in organizing and spreading awareness of the protests. The outcomes varied by country, with mostly peaceful transitions in Tunisia and Egypt but civil wars erupting in Libya and Syria, and ongoing instability in Yemen and other nations. While the Arab Spring sparked hope, successful democratic transitions have so far been limited.
Dictatorship in Tunisia
Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali ruled Tunisia as a dictator from 1989 to 2011. He was elected president five times, receiving over 89% of votes due to excluding opposition parties and intimidating voters. Ben Ali and his family embezzled billions from Tunisia and cracked down on dissent, arresting journalists and political prisoners. Growing public unrest over corruption and lack of freedoms culminated in the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in protest of government abuse.

Tunisia: A Divergent Path
Here are 3 key sources that provide background information on Tunisia:
1. The Middle East (Text) - Provides an in-depth country profile of Tunisia covering history, politics, economy, foreign relations and more.
2. "Twenty Years of Change: Tunisia's Journey of Progress Continues" - Discusses Tunisia's political and economic development over 20 years leading up to 2008.
3. "Tunisia Country Report" from Economist Intelligence Unit - A comprehensive report analyzing Tunisia's political and economic situation, including forecasts.
Ethiopia after PM Meles or Legesse Zenawe 1900-2012
This document summarizes the political situation in Ethiopia following the death of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. It discusses that Meles had led Ethiopia with an authoritarian grip for 21 years through his Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) party. His death leaves the country's political system weakened without its central figure. The transition of power will likely be an internal TPLF process, leading to a weaker government and increased instability risks unless political reforms are enacted. The international community has an interest in actively influencing the transition.
e-Democracy: Egypt’s 18 Day Revolution
The document summarizes how Egyptians used various communication technologies during the 18-day revolution in 2011 that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak. Satellite television, mobile phones, social media, and face-to-face communication all played important roles in spreading information, organizing protests, and influencing public opinion. While social media received attention, satellite TV, mobile phones, and personal networks were ultimately more influential due to high adoption rates in Egypt. The revolution was sparked by police brutality and gave voice to long-standing public frustrations with unemployment, poverty, and political repression under Mubarak.
Social media & arab spring
The Arab Spring began in December 2010 in Tunisia and spread to other Arab countries. Citizens protested against issues like dictatorship, corruption, unemployment, and poverty. The use of social media helped organize and spread information about the protests. Several governments were overthrown due to the large-scale demonstrations. The Arab Spring demonstrations highlight desires for greater political freedom, human rights, and economic opportunity across the Arab world.
Arab Uprisings and the Outstanding Return to Democracy: Tunisia as a Model
In the wake of the Middle Eastern crises, the Tunisian case in focus has been doted as a unique
phenomenon being that it was the Genesis of the revolution that ultimately spread across the Middle East like
wild fire, but has eventually heralded a new dawn as democracy has incidentally returned to the Empire. This
literature therefore looks closely at the extent to which the ‘DignityRevolution’ has been instrumental in the
Middle East uprisings, which have brought an end to dynastic autocracies. The literature zeros in on the
Tunisian uprising which has attracted global concerns, sympathy and has sparked interests in the international
arena. The literature finds that the people hold colossal prospect in the uprising and its resultant effect, as it
paved the way for the revolutionist to generate, gather and disseminate information on the condition of the
entire region to the international community. The people in this context were of utmost importance and played a
very crucial role in the creation of awareness, mobilization of protesters and utmost determining the direction of
the uprising and also ensuring a speedy return to democratic rule. The paper submits that the role of the people
in ensuring that the ruins of the uprising is not left littering around and democracy restored is highly
commendable and should be a model for all other Arab countries involved in the revolution.
Final project APWH - Arab Spring
The Arab Spring began in 2010-2011 as a wave of revolutions across the Middle East where people called for democracy and an end to corrupt leadership. It started in Tunisia when a fruit vendor set himself on fire after facing harassment from officials, sparking protests. His death intensified demonstrations that led to Tunisia's president fleeing within weeks. The success in Tunisia inspired similar uprisings in other countries like Egypt and Libya that also overthrew authoritarian leaders. However, concerns remain about radical Islamist groups gaining power and potential suppression of rights under Sharia law.
Report On Indonesia
This document provides an overview of Indonesia's recent history and current state. It discusses how Indonesia has transformed dramatically from being on the brink of catastrophe a decade ago to now enjoying political stability, economic growth, and democratic reforms under President Yudhoyono. However, it also notes Indonesia still faces significant challenges like poverty, corruption, and the ongoing threat of Islamic extremism. Overall the assessment is that while problems remain, Indonesia has come a long way and its prospects for continued improvement are better than ever.
The Arab Spring Effects of Oil and Foreign Assistance Revenue
This document summarizes research on how autocratic monarchies in the Middle East were able to withstand the Arab Spring protests in 2011, while authoritarian republics faced revolutions. It discusses how monarchies provided socio-economic benefits to citizens from oil revenues to maintain social contracts, while republics faced loss of trust and constraints. The document reviews literature analyzing domestic and structural factors for regimes' resilience or fall, such as distribution of resources, poverty levels, and political alternatives available to citizens. It compares responses and outcomes between monarchies that quelled protests through jobs and payments, versus republics where promises went unfulfilled and trust was lost.

Background Note - Tackling Youth Radicalization through Inclusion in Post-Rev...Maghreb Economic Forum (MEF)
The widespread assumption that any political change can only come with the assistance of a super power was contradicted when an up-rise in Tunisia toppled a regime that reigned for over twenty-three years. The world was taken aback by these events in a country that “seemed the best in the class: stable, presentably secular, engaged in a steady process of “Economic reform”. Realities proved to be extremely different from the outward carefully drawn image of the country. Despite Tunisia’s positive reputation amongst a myriad of governments, the country became immersed in a political mayhem that remains unsorted to this day. The latest Africa Report refers to “the political infighting” as the main cause for stagnation in economic reform and the primary reason that the European Union (EU) and International Organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) continue to place Tunisia on black lists for terrorism and money laundering. Moreover, the Tunisian Labor Union (UGTT), Tunisia’s strongest Labor Union, is lobbying for more and more strikes against IMF recommendations to the government, making the prime minister’s job to reconcile between the different actors and stakeholders even harder.Noha bakr Relation Sandro Suzart SUZART GOOGLE INC United States on De...

The document provides background information on the conditions in Egypt prior to the January 25th, 2011 revolution. It discusses the economic, social, and political circumstances, noting that while the economy was improving and social indicators showed development, there were still major issues of inequality, corruption, lack of political freedom, and human rights abuses. The revolution was sparked by these underlying tensions and grievances among the population, especially the youth. As protests grew larger, the government response was seen as inadequate, leading to calls for President Mubarak's resignation, which he submitted on February 11th, ending his 30-year rule.
Social media presentation
The document discusses how social media contributed to the 2011 Arab revolutions. It argues that social media accelerated the "domino effect" of the revolutions by allowing people to instantly share information and commentary, compare facts, and organize events outside of government censorship. It provides statistics on Arab internet and social media usage and notes how quickly self-immolation spread after one man set himself on fire in Tunisia in December 2010. The document concludes that social media's main contribution was speeding up the spread of the revolutions across countries, though its long-term role is uncertain.
Lau social media_presentation
Social media played a key role in the Arab Spring uprisings by allowing information and protests to spread rapidly. The traditional model of media controlled by authoritarian leaders was disrupted as social media gave citizens a way to instantly share news, comments, and help organize events. This helped accelerate the "domino effect" as protests and acts of self-immolation were publicized, inspiring more demonstrations across other countries in the region. An estimated 40 million people in the Arab world were using the internet by 2009, with millions on Facebook, highlighting social media's potential to facilitate grassroots organization during the uprisings.
The Arab Springs
The Arab Spring was a series of protests and uprisings in the Middle East that began in Tunisia in late 2010 in response to corruption, lack of political freedom, poor economic prospects, and repressive regimes. The protests spread to other countries including Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria. In Tunisia and Egypt, the presidents were ousted, but both countries faced ongoing instability and power struggles during their transition periods. In Libya, civil war broke out and NATO intervened, allowing rebels to take control, but the country remains divided. Yemen's president resigned under pressure but the country faces ongoing violence and poor economic conditions. Bahrain's protests were crushed by military intervention while Syria's protests led to a full
Tunisia: The Last Arab Spring Country
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, a civil society group comprising the Tunisian General Labor Union; the Tunisian Union of Industry, Trade, and Handicrafts; the Tunisian Human Rights League; and the Tunisian Order of Lawyers the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 9, 2015 "for its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia." In a new Atlantic Council Issue Brief, "Tunisia: The Last Arab Spring Country," Atlantic Council Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East Senior Fellows Mohsin Khan and Karim Mezran survey the successes of Tunisia's consensus-based transition and the challenges that lie ahead.
"The decision to award this year's Nobel Peace Prize to Tunisia's National Dialogue Quartet is an extremely important recognition of the efforts made by Tunisian civil society and Tunisia's political elite to reach a consensus on keeping the country firmly on the path to democratization and transition to a pluralist system," says Mezran. With the overthrow of the authoritarian regime of President Zine El Abedine Ben Ali in 2011, Tunisia embarked on a process of democratization widely regarded as an example for transitions in the region. The National Dialogue Conference facilitated by the Quartet helped Tunisia avert the risk of plunging into civil war and paved the way for a consensus agreement on Tunisia's new constitution, adopted in January 2014.
In the brief, the authors warn that despite political successes, Tunisia is hampered by the absence of economic reforms. Facing the loss of tourism and investment following two terror attacks, Tunisia's economy risks collapse, endangering all of the painstaking political progress gained thus far. Unless the Tunisian government moves rapidly to turn the economy around, Tunisia risks unraveling its fragile transition.
1Key Summary and Problems Indonesia is composed of.docx
1
Key Summary and Problems
Indonesia is composed of over 220 million people spread out over some 17,000 islands. It is also
the world’s most populous Muslim nation, and more than 500 languages are spoken in the
country. Indonesia was once under the control of an oppressive dictator, President Suharto, who
largely held the country together. Under his command, he repressed internal dissent and used the
political system to favor the business enterprises of his supporters and family members. His rule
ultimately crippled Indonesia’s economy, as the country accumulated massive debt during the
1990s.
In 1997, Indonesia faced grave economic problems, and had to be “rescued” by the International
Monetary Fund. Although Indonesia replaced Suharto’s regime with a democratic government,
the country’s economic growth lagged behind that of China, Malaysia, and Thailand. As such,
Indonesia is still plagued with various economic, social, and political problems. First,
unemployment rates are high, and growth in labor productivity has been sluggish. Second,
significant foreign investment, for the most part, has left the country. For example, Sony and
several major apparel companies shut down their respective plants in favor of China and
Vietnam. Third, Indonesia is saddled by the problem of a poor infrastructure, as many people are
without access to safe roads, clean water, and reliable electricity. Fourth, business activity is
stifled in the country due to enormous amounts of red tape, or unnecessarily complicated
bureaucratic procedures. This makes it immensely difficult for startup businesses to get their feet
off the ground and encourage entrepreneurship in the country.
Most significantly, Indonesia faces a grave problem of corruption throughout all levels of
government. Politicians and business executives frequently give and take bribes to further their
personal interests. Additionally, the legal system faces further corruption, as jail time is often
reduced based on the bribing of enforcement officers and associated officials.
Applications of Key Themes
Collectivism v. Individualism
During the 1990s, Indonesia faced enormous debt due to the collectivist ideology of President
Suharto. This case serves as an example of how Collectivism represses the needs of individuals
in pursuit of collective societal goals. However, it also demonstrates the risks associated with the
ideology. For example, by oppressing members of the public who did not support Suharto’s
regime, much of Indonesian society was ultimately hurt economically.
Political Ideology and Economic Systems Are Connected
The regime change of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono introduced democracy into the region. This
new democratic ideology went hand-in-hand with the Indonesian economy’s period of growth
from 2001 to 2010. This serves as a great example of the reading, which states that politics and
economic systems are interdependent of one another, and not se ...

Introduction and problem statement
From the case, it is apparent that SFK-NY is one of the non-profit organization that is striving a lot to ensure that its mission of empowering the human spirit in every child is achieved. The case indicates that there is a huge gap in the society concerning the human spirit and hence SFK-NY has done its best to fill this gap. However, a closer look at the case reveals that the SFK-NY has not yet achieved its goal or rather its missions and vision. The vision statement for the organization is “One World, Every Child” (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). According to the case, it is stated that the mission of ensuring that the vision “ One World, Every Child” is achieved would only be complete when every child and young adult in the target region has participated in the SFK-YK program (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). This is because for all the children to learn he tools to help them make wise choices that provide them with certainty, happiness, concern for the well-being of others, the organization needs to invest a lot not only in employing personnel but also in expanding their project worldwide.
Expanding the program worldwide would need an enormous amount of money. Given that the SFK-YK is a non-profit organization, it means that it does not get capital from the services they offer. This is because they do not charge the beneficiaries for the services they get. The organization, according to the case, depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, groups, clubs, and organization as well as their own fundraising from special events. Despite the fact that the organization gets a lot of assistance from well-wishers and clubs, the organizational Advisory Board and the director argue that their major concern is that SFK is not generating as much revenue through fundraising to support the current operation. They are also concerned that the organization is gaining a lot of popularity and that because of this, it is likely that it may experience massive growth. The board is also claiming that the cost for every student is approximately $300 per program, which is too much because every student needs to finish level 1,2 and even 3 depending on the availability of funding. This essay will support why lack of finance is the major strategic obstacle to the SFK-YK Program.
Body and discussion
One way in which an organization can achieve its strategic goal is by ensuring that all the factors of production are available and that they are put in proper use. Similarly, SFK-YK, despite offering the best and most popular services, must ensure that the factors of production are in place and that they are being utilized accordingly. Closer look at the case reveals that capital and resour.

1. Unit conversions
a. You are curious about the matric potential of an air-dried soil. This depends on the
relative humidity of the air of course but you find a value of -2.20 x 105 J/Kg in a journal
article. Express this in MPa and m. (Note that the permanent wilting point for plants is
typically assumed to be -1.5 MPa.)
b. You need a value for the osmotic pressure of maple tree sap and find a table in a
reliable older reference stating 2.23 x 106 erg/cm3. Convert this to m, ft., and Pa.
c. Your grandfather’s WWII submarine could withstand about 1.5 MPa of water
pressure. Assuming a saltwater density of 1.03 g/cm3, calculate the crush-depth of the
submarine in m and ft.
2. a. Calculate the energy/volume (in J/m3) of water a plant root must overcome to withdraw
water laterally from a soil with a matric potential of -15000 cm with an EC of 8 dS/m.
b. Assuming 15 oC, calculate the relative humidity in the soil air for the soil in part (a).
Note that this soil is near the wilting point for many plants.
Helpful information: The EC, electrical conductivity, is a measure of the total dissolved salts in a
system. For a wide range of soils, the following empirical relationship relates the EC of the soil
solution to the osmotic pressure (Π) of the solution; Π(bars)= 0.36 x EC (dS/m). The EC unit is
decisiemen per meter.
3. Consider a soil profile above a shallow water table:
clay loam

θ(h) = θS for |h| ≤ |he|
θ(h) = (θS -θr)[(he/h)
λ] + θr for |h| > |he|
Using the parameters in the following table, calculate and plot the equilibrium water content
profile, θ(z), from the soil surface to the water table.

Tunisia: A Divergent Path
Here are 3 key sources that provide background information on Tunisia:
1. The Middle East (Text) - Provides an in-depth country profile of Tunisia covering history, politics, economy, foreign relations and more.
2. "Twenty Years of Change: Tunisia's Journey of Progress Continues" - Discusses Tunisia's political and economic development over 20 years leading up to 2008.
3. "Tunisia Country Report" from Economist Intelligence Unit - A comprehensive report analyzing Tunisia's political and economic situation, including forecasts.
Ethiopia after PM Meles or Legesse Zenawe 1900-2012
This document summarizes the political situation in Ethiopia following the death of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. It discusses that Meles had led Ethiopia with an authoritarian grip for 21 years through his Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) party. His death leaves the country's political system weakened without its central figure. The transition of power will likely be an internal TPLF process, leading to a weaker government and increased instability risks unless political reforms are enacted. The international community has an interest in actively influencing the transition.
e-Democracy: Egypt’s 18 Day Revolution
The document summarizes how Egyptians used various communication technologies during the 18-day revolution in 2011 that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak. Satellite television, mobile phones, social media, and face-to-face communication all played important roles in spreading information, organizing protests, and influencing public opinion. While social media received attention, satellite TV, mobile phones, and personal networks were ultimately more influential due to high adoption rates in Egypt. The revolution was sparked by police brutality and gave voice to long-standing public frustrations with unemployment, poverty, and political repression under Mubarak.
Social media & arab spring
The Arab Spring began in December 2010 in Tunisia and spread to other Arab countries. Citizens protested against issues like dictatorship, corruption, unemployment, and poverty. The use of social media helped organize and spread information about the protests. Several governments were overthrown due to the large-scale demonstrations. The Arab Spring demonstrations highlight desires for greater political freedom, human rights, and economic opportunity across the Arab world.
Arab Uprisings and the Outstanding Return to Democracy: Tunisia as a Model
In the wake of the Middle Eastern crises, the Tunisian case in focus has been doted as a unique
phenomenon being that it was the Genesis of the revolution that ultimately spread across the Middle East like
wild fire, but has eventually heralded a new dawn as democracy has incidentally returned to the Empire. This
literature therefore looks closely at the extent to which the ‘DignityRevolution’ has been instrumental in the
Middle East uprisings, which have brought an end to dynastic autocracies. The literature zeros in on the
Tunisian uprising which has attracted global concerns, sympathy and has sparked interests in the international
arena. The literature finds that the people hold colossal prospect in the uprising and its resultant effect, as it
paved the way for the revolutionist to generate, gather and disseminate information on the condition of the
entire region to the international community. The people in this context were of utmost importance and played a
very crucial role in the creation of awareness, mobilization of protesters and utmost determining the direction of
the uprising and also ensuring a speedy return to democratic rule. The paper submits that the role of the people
in ensuring that the ruins of the uprising is not left littering around and democracy restored is highly
commendable and should be a model for all other Arab countries involved in the revolution.
Final project APWH - Arab Spring
The Arab Spring began in 2010-2011 as a wave of revolutions across the Middle East where people called for democracy and an end to corrupt leadership. It started in Tunisia when a fruit vendor set himself on fire after facing harassment from officials, sparking protests. His death intensified demonstrations that led to Tunisia's president fleeing within weeks. The success in Tunisia inspired similar uprisings in other countries like Egypt and Libya that also overthrew authoritarian leaders. However, concerns remain about radical Islamist groups gaining power and potential suppression of rights under Sharia law.
Report On Indonesia
This document provides an overview of Indonesia's recent history and current state. It discusses how Indonesia has transformed dramatically from being on the brink of catastrophe a decade ago to now enjoying political stability, economic growth, and democratic reforms under President Yudhoyono. However, it also notes Indonesia still faces significant challenges like poverty, corruption, and the ongoing threat of Islamic extremism. Overall the assessment is that while problems remain, Indonesia has come a long way and its prospects for continued improvement are better than ever.
The Arab Spring Effects of Oil and Foreign Assistance Revenue
This document summarizes research on how autocratic monarchies in the Middle East were able to withstand the Arab Spring protests in 2011, while authoritarian republics faced revolutions. It discusses how monarchies provided socio-economic benefits to citizens from oil revenues to maintain social contracts, while republics faced loss of trust and constraints. The document reviews literature analyzing domestic and structural factors for regimes' resilience or fall, such as distribution of resources, poverty levels, and political alternatives available to citizens. It compares responses and outcomes between monarchies that quelled protests through jobs and payments, versus republics where promises went unfulfilled and trust was lost.

Background Note - Tackling Youth Radicalization through Inclusion in Post-Rev...Maghreb Economic Forum (MEF)
The widespread assumption that any political change can only come with the assistance of a super power was contradicted when an up-rise in Tunisia toppled a regime that reigned for over twenty-three years. The world was taken aback by these events in a country that “seemed the best in the class: stable, presentably secular, engaged in a steady process of “Economic reform”. Realities proved to be extremely different from the outward carefully drawn image of the country. Despite Tunisia’s positive reputation amongst a myriad of governments, the country became immersed in a political mayhem that remains unsorted to this day. The latest Africa Report refers to “the political infighting” as the main cause for stagnation in economic reform and the primary reason that the European Union (EU) and International Organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) continue to place Tunisia on black lists for terrorism and money laundering. Moreover, the Tunisian Labor Union (UGTT), Tunisia’s strongest Labor Union, is lobbying for more and more strikes against IMF recommendations to the government, making the prime minister’s job to reconcile between the different actors and stakeholders even harder.Noha bakr Relation Sandro Suzart SUZART GOOGLE INC United States on De...

The document provides background information on the conditions in Egypt prior to the January 25th, 2011 revolution. It discusses the economic, social, and political circumstances, noting that while the economy was improving and social indicators showed development, there were still major issues of inequality, corruption, lack of political freedom, and human rights abuses. The revolution was sparked by these underlying tensions and grievances among the population, especially the youth. As protests grew larger, the government response was seen as inadequate, leading to calls for President Mubarak's resignation, which he submitted on February 11th, ending his 30-year rule.
Social media presentation
The document discusses how social media contributed to the 2011 Arab revolutions. It argues that social media accelerated the "domino effect" of the revolutions by allowing people to instantly share information and commentary, compare facts, and organize events outside of government censorship. It provides statistics on Arab internet and social media usage and notes how quickly self-immolation spread after one man set himself on fire in Tunisia in December 2010. The document concludes that social media's main contribution was speeding up the spread of the revolutions across countries, though its long-term role is uncertain.
Lau social media_presentation
Social media played a key role in the Arab Spring uprisings by allowing information and protests to spread rapidly. The traditional model of media controlled by authoritarian leaders was disrupted as social media gave citizens a way to instantly share news, comments, and help organize events. This helped accelerate the "domino effect" as protests and acts of self-immolation were publicized, inspiring more demonstrations across other countries in the region. An estimated 40 million people in the Arab world were using the internet by 2009, with millions on Facebook, highlighting social media's potential to facilitate grassroots organization during the uprisings.
The Arab Springs
The Arab Spring was a series of protests and uprisings in the Middle East that began in Tunisia in late 2010 in response to corruption, lack of political freedom, poor economic prospects, and repressive regimes. The protests spread to other countries including Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria. In Tunisia and Egypt, the presidents were ousted, but both countries faced ongoing instability and power struggles during their transition periods. In Libya, civil war broke out and NATO intervened, allowing rebels to take control, but the country remains divided. Yemen's president resigned under pressure but the country faces ongoing violence and poor economic conditions. Bahrain's protests were crushed by military intervention while Syria's protests led to a full
Tunisia: The Last Arab Spring Country
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, a civil society group comprising the Tunisian General Labor Union; the Tunisian Union of Industry, Trade, and Handicrafts; the Tunisian Human Rights League; and the Tunisian Order of Lawyers the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 9, 2015 "for its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia." In a new Atlantic Council Issue Brief, "Tunisia: The Last Arab Spring Country," Atlantic Council Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East Senior Fellows Mohsin Khan and Karim Mezran survey the successes of Tunisia's consensus-based transition and the challenges that lie ahead.
"The decision to award this year's Nobel Peace Prize to Tunisia's National Dialogue Quartet is an extremely important recognition of the efforts made by Tunisian civil society and Tunisia's political elite to reach a consensus on keeping the country firmly on the path to democratization and transition to a pluralist system," says Mezran. With the overthrow of the authoritarian regime of President Zine El Abedine Ben Ali in 2011, Tunisia embarked on a process of democratization widely regarded as an example for transitions in the region. The National Dialogue Conference facilitated by the Quartet helped Tunisia avert the risk of plunging into civil war and paved the way for a consensus agreement on Tunisia's new constitution, adopted in January 2014.
In the brief, the authors warn that despite political successes, Tunisia is hampered by the absence of economic reforms. Facing the loss of tourism and investment following two terror attacks, Tunisia's economy risks collapse, endangering all of the painstaking political progress gained thus far. Unless the Tunisian government moves rapidly to turn the economy around, Tunisia risks unraveling its fragile transition.
1Key Summary and Problems Indonesia is composed of.docx

Key Summary and Problems
Indonesia is composed of over 220 million people spread out over some 17,000 islands. It is also
the world’s most populous Muslim nation, and more than 500 languages are spoken in the
country. Indonesia was once under the control of an oppressive dictator, President Suharto, who
largely held the country together. Under his command, he repressed internal dissent and used the
political system to favor the business enterprises of his supporters and family members. His rule
ultimately crippled Indonesia’s economy, as the country accumulated massive debt during the
1990s.
In 1997, Indonesia faced grave economic problems, and had to be “rescued” by the International
Monetary Fund. Although Indonesia replaced Suharto’s regime with a democratic government,
the country’s economic growth lagged behind that of China, Malaysia, and Thailand. As such,
Indonesia is still plagued with various economic, social, and political problems. First,
unemployment rates are high, and growth in labor productivity has been sluggish. Second,
significant foreign investment, for the most part, has left the country. For example, Sony and
several major apparel companies shut down their respective plants in favor of China and
Vietnam. Third, Indonesia is saddled by the problem of a poor infrastructure, as many people are
without access to safe roads, clean water, and reliable electricity. Fourth, business activity is
stifled in the country due to enormous amounts of red tape, or unnecessarily complicated
bureaucratic procedures. This makes it immensely difficult for startup businesses to get their feet
off the ground and encourage entrepreneurship in the country.
Most significantly, Indonesia faces a grave problem of corruption throughout all levels of
government. Politicians and business executives frequently give and take bribes to further their
personal interests. Additionally, the legal system faces further corruption, as jail time is often
reduced based on the bribing of enforcement officers and associated officials.
Applications of Key Themes
Collectivism v. Individualism
During the 1990s, Indonesia faced enormous debt due to the collectivist ideology of President
Suharto. This case serves as an example of how Collectivism represses the needs of individuals
in pursuit of collective societal goals. However, it also demonstrates the risks associated with the
ideology. For example, by oppressing members of the public who did not support Suharto’s
regime, much of Indonesian society was ultimately hurt economically.
Political Ideology and Economic Systems Are Connected
The regime change of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono introduced democracy into the region. This
new democratic ideology went hand-in-hand with the Indonesian economy’s period of growth
from 2001 to 2010. This serves as a great example of the reading, which states that politics and
economic systems are interdependent of one another, and not se ...

Problem Identification and Recommendation for SFK Organization
Student’s Name
Institution
Date
Introduction and problem statement
From the case, it is apparent that SFK-NY is one of the non-profit organization that is striving a lot to ensure that its mission of empowering the human spirit in every child is achieved. The case indicates that there is a huge gap in the society concerning the human spirit and hence SFK-NY has done its best to fill this gap. However, a closer look at the case reveals that the SFK-NY has not yet achieved its goal or rather its missions and vision. The vision statement for the organization is “One World, Every Child” (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). According to the case, it is stated that the mission of ensuring that the vision “ One World, Every Child” is achieved would only be complete when every child and young adult in the target region has participated in the SFK-YK program (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). This is because for all the children to learn he tools to help them make wise choices that provide them with certainty, happiness, concern for the well-being of others, the organization needs to invest a lot not only in employing personnel but also in expanding their project worldwide.
Expanding the program worldwide would need an enormous amount of money. Given that the SFK-YK is a non-profit organization, it means that it does not get capital from the services they offer. This is because they do not charge the beneficiaries for the services they get. The organization, according to the case, depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, groups, clubs, and organization as well as their own fundraising from special events. Despite the fact that the organization gets a lot of assistance from well-wishers and clubs, the organizational Advisory Board and the director argue that their major concern is that SFK is not generating as much revenue through fundraising to support the current operation. They are also concerned that the organization is gaining a lot of popularity and that because of this, it is likely that it may experience massive growth. The board is also claiming that the cost for every student is approximately $300 per program, which is too much because every student needs to finish level 1,2 and even 3 depending on the availability of funding. This essay will support why lack of finance is the major strategic obstacle to the SFK-YK Program.
Body and discussion
One way in which an organization can achieve its strategic goal is by ensuring that all the factors of production are available and that they are put in proper use. Similarly, SFK-YK, despite offering the best and most popular services, must ensure that the factors of production are in place and that they are being utilized accordingly. Closer look at the case reveals that capital and resour.

Honor code opportunity- It is required that the work you are turning in is your effort. In addition,
you may wish to sign the honor code statement. Declining to sign this statement will not count
against you.

1. Unit conversions
a. You are curious about the matric potential of an air-dried soil. This depends on the
relative humidity of the air of course but you find a value of -2.20 x 105 J/Kg in a journal
article. Express this in MPa and m. (Note that the permanent wilting point for plants is
typically assumed to be -1.5 MPa.)
b. You need a value for the osmotic pressure of maple tree sap and find a table in a
reliable older reference stating 2.23 x 106 erg/cm3. Convert this to m, ft., and Pa.
c. Your grandfather’s WWII submarine could withstand about 1.5 MPa of water
pressure. Assuming a saltwater density of 1.03 g/cm3, calculate the crush-depth of the
submarine in m and ft.
2. a. Calculate the energy/volume (in J/m3) of water a plant root must overcome to withdraw
water laterally from a soil with a matric potential of -15000 cm with an EC of 8 dS/m.
b. Assuming 15 oC, calculate the relative humidity in the soil air for the soil in part (a).
Note that this soil is near the wilting point for many plants.
Helpful information: The EC, electrical conductivity, is a measure of the total dissolved salts in a
system. For a wide range of soils, the following empirical relationship relates the EC of the soil
solution to the osmotic pressure (Π) of the solution; Π(bars)= 0.36 x EC (dS/m). The EC unit is
decisiemen per meter.
3. Consider a soil profile above a shallow water table:
clay loam
water table
loamy sand
loam
silt loam
0.40 m
0.30 m
0.15 m
0.20 m
Soil surface
Suppose the θ(h) in this profile is described by the Brooks-Corey formulation:
θ(h) = θS for |h| ≤ |he|
θ(h) = (θS -θr)[(he/h)
λ] + θr for |h| > |he|
Using the parameters in the following table, calculate and plot the equilibrium water content
profile, θ(z), from the soil surface to the water table.
4. The following system is at equilibrium. Determine each component of the total soil water
potential in energy/volume and energy/weight at the points indicated (A, B, …). If a component

Problem descriptionThe Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is .docx
Problem description
The Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is planning expansion into Calgary. It has selected many
possible sites for new coffee houses. The possible sites are joined by roads that form a spanning tree.
To eliminate competition with itself, the company has determined that it should not choose two
sites that are adjacent in this tree. From its market evaluation, the company has also determined
the expected profit per year for each site. Your job is to determine what sites Jim Thornton should
choose for his coffee houses.
a. Define this problem precisely, by defining the required Input and the required Output. Use
mathematical notation.
b. Write a recursive equation for the function that maximizes the profit per year. Include a
short argument that your equation is correct.
c. Write an efficient algorithm that computes the maximum profit per year, and also computes
the sites that should be chosen. Your algorithm should run in time that is polynomial in the
input size.
d. What is the asymptotic running time of your algorithm? Defend your answer.
Your algorithm and proofs should be precise and concise (as well, of course, as correct.) Elegance
of your solution counts.

Figure 2: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(b)
(c) Input: An array A = (a1, . . . , an) of n integers. (I use “array” rather than “set” here
because the elements in a set do not have the notion of order.)
Output: A set S = {aα1, . . . , aαm} ⊆ A, which satisfies

m∑
i=1
aαi is maximum;
(2) ∀i ∈ {1, . . . , m}, ̸ ∃j ∈ {1, . . . , m} s.t. |αi − αj| = 1.
Optimization function. Indset[i] denotes the maximum independent set of an array with
i positive integers (a1, . . . , ai). Let OPT [i] denote the total weight of Indset[i]. The
optimization function is
OPT [0] = 0, OPT [1] = max{0, a1},
OPT [i] =
{
OPT [i − 1] if OPT [i − 1] ≥ OPT [i − 2] + ai
OPT [i − 2] + ai otherwise
Correctness of the optimization function. It is trivial if n = 0 or 1. When n ≥ 2, there
are two cases to be considered. Case 1: Indset[n] includes an. Then Indset[n] must not
include an−1. And Indset[n]−{an} must be a maximum independent set of (a1, . . . , an−2).
This can be easily verified by a replacement argument. If the statement is not true, then
the total weight of Indset[n] − {an} is less than OPT [n − 2]. Then Indset[n − 2] ∪ {an}
has total weight larger than Indset[n] does, and this co.

Employee Needs assessment
Organizations have long recognized that employees make contributions through a work behavior that leads to measurable performance. The appraisal process helps management assess this contribution as well as identify areas that need improvement. As a formal process, appraisal is a part of a performance system designed to manage an organizations human resources. The growing complexity of customer, employee and management relationships requires a new leadership paradigm. This is certainly true in today’s highly competitive market place where a premium is placed on the development of human capital. Management of today’s workforce has been made more difficult by the implementation of the contemporary business practices such as downsizing, reengineering, Total Quality Management (TQM), employee empowerment and team performance systems. These changes have altered the dynamics of the traditional management and employee relationships. The increase in layoffs globally has placed organizations in a more complicated position to manage their workforces. Business organizations have continued to develop sophisticated performance management systems to manage their human resources and to identify leaders to sustain growth of the company (Kusluvan, 2003).
Employee performance can be improved in many ways. E.

Problem B Regulatory Compliance 1 No.docx
Problem B: Regulatory Compliance
1
Note: All character and company names are fictional and are not intended to
depict any actual person or business.
Knowing that mergers may require a dramatic change in company culture,
you realize that you need to meet with the human resources (HR) and
leadership teams because they will play important roles in the merger. The
leadership team will drive the change, and the HR team will be charged with
managing the change. You have scheduled a meeting with Steve Maine, your
vice president at ALTAP consulting, to consult with him on this project.
“Thanks for meeting me today, Steve,” you begin. “I need to talk through
some of the issues before meeting with the HR and leadership teams at
UWEAR and PALEDENIM. The merger is going well, but it is becoming
apparent that there are some significant change issues that need to be
addressed.”
“I’ve heard good things about your work on this project,” Steve answers. “I’m
sure you have it under control, but I’ll be happy to help where I can.”
“We are dealing with the issues of joining together two very disparate
companies,” you explain. “On the one hand, UWEAR is public and has 100
employees; on the other hand, PALEDENIM is private with only 15
employees. They basically provide the same type of service, but they are
completely different businesses in how they operate inside and outside of the
company.”
You continue, “Yes, and both the employees and managers of each company
have different philosophies and expectations. PALEDENIM employees and
managers have a kind of ‘one-for-all and all-for-one’ attitude. They all chip in
to get the job done. The UWEAR employees and managers look at things
differently. They’re more apt to do their jobs, get them done, and go home
without consideration for what else the rest of the team needs to complete.”
“That is definitely a culture issue,” Steve agrees. “In fact, that is the classic
definition of a culture issue. I’m sure they’re also dealing with the typical
power struggles. I bet everyone is worried about whether their department
will be headed by a UWEAR manager or a PALEDENIM manager.”
Problem B: Regulatory Compliance
2
“Exactly,” you say. “I know the intention of the merger is to benefit both
companies, but there are unintended consequences as well. We need to do
whatever we can to help the employees of both companies get through this
with the fewest glitches possible.”

e.
On November 1, WTI agreed to do a special six-month course (starting immediately) for a client. The contract calls for a monthly fee of $2,500, and the client paid the first five months' fees in advance. When the cash was received, the Unearned Training Fees account was credited. The fee for the sixth month will be recorded when it is collected in 2014.
f.
On October 15, WTI agreed to teach a four-month class (beginning immediately) for an individual for $3,000 tuition per month payable at the end of the class. The class started on October 15, but no payment has yet been received. (WTI's accruals are applied to the nearest half-month; for example, October recognizes one-half month accrual.)

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalis.docx
Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalism.
Essay #2 has similar parameters -- length/outside source requirements, drafting process -- as Essay #1.
You are always free to develop your own topic approach within the Transcendentalism topic.
Some suggestive options:
1) Analyze Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" in light of a contemporary example or figure or incident in the tradition of American civil disobedience.
2) Analyze the persuasive and rhetorical strategies of one of the transcendental pieces (or King's "Letter") that we have read. You might look at issues of audience, style, emotional vs./and rational appeal, appeals to history/tradition or rejection of history/tradtion, metaphoric style, tone and so forth. If you deem them successful, why/how do they succeed in arguing their points? What might be points of counterargument or criticism or weaknesses in their approach? Does it work as a piece of argument/writing?
3) Pick one (or several if you feel it's appropriate) key concepts or quotes from a work (or several works) and discuss the concept/quote in terms of how it has evolved or put it in larger context. How have these words taken form in our laws, practice, literature, or culture? Where are the gaps between the great ideals of these writers' words and the reality of their times and/or ours? e.g. How might MLK (in light of his "Letter") feel about the society and civil rights situation we see today?
4) You could pick one, two, or three key themes from any of the works and discuss how the text fleshes out these themes and why they are important to our understanding of the period, or the particular writer, or to transcendentalism as a movement, or to American tradition or literature and so forth.
5) You could pick a theme which runs through several of the texts (for example, something about the role or nature of the individual) and trace it through its different configuration and representations.
Essay length: 4-5 pages -- again, I'm always more concerned with minimum than limiting any maximum length.
Include outside critical sources.

Essay # 2
The Tempest
Prompt
4-5 pages (
MLA format)
Character:
The Tempest
presents a variety of characters who manipulate each other, raising questions about personal agency and autonomy.
How are characters formed as the result of other characters’ direct influence?
How might the text mirror our own experiences of identity formation?
Perhaps the text suggests that we can never be autonomous individuals due to the ease by which we are influenced by others.
Do you agree or disagree with this claim?
Be sure to support your position with concrete examples; these examples may come from your personal experience and observations, but you should also use the main text of
The Tempest
as the basis for each of your claims.
(Terms to define in the paper: agency, autonomy, influence)

Erving Goffman is one of the most important sociological thinkers in.docx
Erving Goffman is one of the most important sociological thinkers in modern sociology. His biggest contribution to sociology was the dramaturgical lens of viewing social interaction, a theory that he developed by just watching people in their everyday interactions. In the pieces that we read for this class, we talked about these elements of dramaturgy and how they play out in real life.
For this essay question:
(1) define the concepts of
impression management
and
audience segregation
and then explain how and why people use impression management and audience segregation in daily social life
(2) give a detailed example of how you used impression management and audience segregation in the last week
and finally
(3) explain how technology has changed features of impression management and audience segregation. Give one positive and one negative example.
Be as complete and thorough as possible with your answer.
