AMERICAS ECONOMIC HISTORY
America is the only strong and has one of the highest standards of living in the world. In the times of Soviet Union and Eastern Europe when the most practiced version was communism but as Karl Max said this has been thrown into the pit of history. In the years of 1990s the American economy had generated more than 22million new jobs. But the number of Americans who were working in the early 2010 was less than there were 10 years earlier. To put together the awful and the best: America has got the largest economy in the world, and one of the world’s highest standards of living, though the American economy has not been doing well most of the citizens have got descent jobs with descent wages.
The American Economy in the 19th Century
America has always had a large agricultural sector that is quite productive. Unlike Europe 200 years ago America had lots of idle fertile land. The lands were given away by the federal government 160 acre plots to any individual who was willing to clear the land and farm it. Land being available in America was the most influential factor in the economic development in the 19th century. The availability of idle land it did not only encourage more immigrants to get into the country to the shores, it also strengthened the rise of early marriage and extended families, because each child was an additional source of labor to cultivate the lands and manage the animals. More so the availability of these idle lands in comparison to the available labor did boost rapid developments in technology. Though all locations of the United States were primarily agricultural as a result of the civil war, New England, the Middle States they had already put up iron, steel, textile and apparel companies were seen as a major industrial development which was to last till the great depression. But the South whose economy was based on cash crops cottons, tobacco, and rice still continued with the cultivation of these crops till the 20th century. Though this section of America went on with the agricultural practices, remained the poorest regions in America this effects remained till the rise of Sun Belt in the 1960s. Agriculture did not do well from the end of the civil war up to the close of the century. The most basic cash crops were corn, wheat, and cotton grew faster compared to the population at that time. This was due to the technological upgrades that had been made at that time.
Out of the writing the Americas constitution in the 1787, America’s economy witnessed a tremendous growth. The constitution gave America a kind of economic boost putting forward rules of both businesses and money by congress. The market of United States was opened as also. The already free borders paved way for an internal flow of goods and ideas with restrictions. One of the unusual things was the tax regime on the whiskey put forward in 1791 to assis ...
Essay On Canadian Economy
The document provides an overview of the Canadian economy. It notes that Canada currently has a population of over 30 million and is ranked 11th in the world for exports. The economy has shifted from being primarily based on farming and waterways to focusing more on industries like petroleum, cars, and manufacturing. Currently, Canada is experiencing higher economic growth and GDP increases, though some economists worry this rise may not last due to recent government benefits for citizens. Housing and consumer spending are also contributing to GDP growth.

19. converging economic systems
If government sets quotas too high, it can lead to surpluses as producers are required to produce more than consumers demand. This occurred in the Soviet Union which experienced food surpluses while citizens lacked choices. Quotas set too low can cause shortages as occurred in China during the Great Leap Forward when government quotas failed to keep up with population growth, leading to famine. Quotas distort markets and should account for changes in supply and demand.

The presidential election of 1992 was an interesting one. Not only did the incumbent president, George H. W. Bush, have a stunningly high approval rating coming out of the Gulf War but the election also featured a third-party candidate, Ross Perot, who received the highest percentage of votes ever in American history for a third party. The Democratic challenger, Bill Clinton, was also an anomaly. A Democrat from the solid Republican South, he had also been accused of sexual harassment. Despite what would seem an easy reelection for then president Bush, James Carville, one of Clinton’s campaign advisers, summed up Clinton’s message for the voters quite succinctly: “It’s the economy, stupid.” With America in a recession and Bush having gone back on his pledge of “no new taxes,” Clinton’s economic message resonated with the American people, and Clinton handily won the Electoral College that November. Political science research has consistently shown that economic concerns are a primary issue for voters—especially voters who ask themselves “Am I better off now than I was four years ago?” when deciding how to cast their vote for president. Thus, politicians are rightly concerned with a country’s economy and challenged about how to respond to economic pressures.
This chapter explores the very crucial relationship between government and economy, the study of which is termed political economy. Although certainly not an absolute rule, a government cannot long be successful if its citizens suffer economic hardships and poor quality of life. Although there have been exceptions to this like North Korea, those states usually succeed because of their authoritarian nature. We will start first with a discussion of the connection between politics and economy and then move to discuss different types of economic systems, including capitalism and socialism. Although we discuss these ideal-type models, the reality is that there is no country in the world that is completely capitalist or completely socialist; rather, types of economies fall on a wide spectrum, having to do with how much each government is involved in economic activity. Following this, we will discuss the ways in which the government can be involved in the economy, primarily through the tools of fiscal and monetary policies and the types of factors that influence economic performance. Finally, the chapter discusses two subfields in this area of study: comparative political economy and international political economy.What Does Politics Have to Do with the Economy?

The document summarizes changes in European population, culture, technology, and unification from 1960-2000. Population growth declined among indigenous Europeans as immigration increased from former colonies. Consumerism rose due to mass production while religion attendance declined. New technologies like computers and the Internet spread information globally. Medical advances increased life expectancy. After the Cold War ended, Eastern European states transitioned to capitalism. To promote trade and prevent future wars, European nations increasingly unified politically and economically into the European Union.
Apush review-key-concept-6.1-revised-edition
Key Concept 6.1 discusses the rise of industrial capitalism in the United States following the Civil War. Technological advances and large-scale production methods encouraged business consolidation and monopolies. In response, farmers organized cooperatives and alliances to gain political influence, while laborers joined unions to improve wages and conditions. Dissatisfaction among farmers and laborers led to the rise of the Populist Party in the 1890s, which advocated for government regulation of railroads and other industries.

Final PaperOne reason that California have been known as the Gol.docx
Final Paper
One reason that California have been known as the Golden State is because of the influence of Hollywood. The well-known reputation of the entertainment of Hollywood has been showed the natural advantages of California, such as the weather, coast, and the natural resources. Also, the Hollywood shows another side of California, which is the world-leading level of technology companies. However, it is controversial to state that California is shown to the world by Hollywood. In fact, I prefer the saying that the history and the multicultural environment breed the great potential of the newborn Hollywood at the first place. While Hollywood shows the diverse cultures in California, it expresses in the influence of the California history by showing the images of different racial people in the films.
California have been a state of immigration, attracting people from the world to migrate the family and invite them to contribute for the development of California. It is fair to say that California was built by the people with different ethnical backgrounds. However, Hollywood has not been treated equally to the contributors with different races. White can be always be the lead of the movie. For example, a white actor can play the role with quality of richness, smartness and toughness. A non-white Hispanic actor can play the role of a billionaire, a drug dealer, a villain, a genius, and a special agent. However, Chinese Americans have the least if the scenes in the Hollywood films. Chinese Americans express a very stereotypical image of neediness, Kungfu, or weakness. In historical speaking, the Chinese were first shown in California in the event of Gosh Rush in the 1800s. The image of Chinese miners in Gold Rush is influent to the image of the Chinese Americans from Hollywood firms. It is hard to truly know the Chinese culture through the media. I doubt that Chinese culture does not assimilate to the society of California. In the Chronicling California, it pointed out that the Chinese culture was not quite “fit” into the California society: “the expulsion of the Chinese is not demanded on the ground that they represent cheap labor... they are regarded by the thoughtful as objectionable because they represent a substitution of unchangeable foreign and hopelessly unassimilative material for that which is malleable and assimilative” (100, Hoikkala and Wallis). Most of the Chinese miners had the strong responsibilities to support their families by sending the money to oversea. The loss of currency conflicts with the California society also indirectly caused the Chinese Exclusion Act later in 1882. Comparing to other immigrants, Chinese suffered the unequal treatments, which is why it is hard to see the Chinese cultures in the early Hollywood films.
While Hollywood has published some great firms about the World War II, it emphasized the victory of the United States, avoiding the fact that how the California government treated unfairly to the.
Final PaperIndia and China provide two fascinating country case st.docx
Final Paper
India and China provide two fascinating country case studies for comparing political systems, political cultures, economic growth and the future of the world’s two largest populations. Write a research paper comparing the systems, process and policy of these two countries and hypothesizing the future of each political system.
Students must address and compare the following areas:
Political System- to include the political environment, political structure and its functions.
Political Culture- to include system, process and policy levels to include how political socialization occurs in each country and what are the key agents for socialization in each.
Interest Articulation & Aggregation- describe how this occurs in each country.
Compare how public policy is crafted in these two countries
In conclusion, students will hypothesize the direction in which they believe each country will head in the future. Will these countries become more or less democratic?

Final Paper
Final Paper Synopsis:
The purpose of this paper will be to simulate a professional analysis of a segment of technology that will contribute to the success of your fictional company. Each student will use the same company. You will choose one of five technologies on which to focus. The complete guidelines are below beginning with the scenario.
Scenario
Overview
JK Incorporated is a 50-year-old retail and distribution grocery company that owns and operates 3,000 stores under different banners across the United States. The mix of products includes products purchased from other manufacturers as well as product that JK manufactures itself. This results in national brands and private labels sold side by side. JK has stores, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and its own distribution fleet of trucks.
JK has enjoyed many years of success using methods that are now considered out of date and is now no longer leading in the industry. Technically progressive companies have entered the grocery industry and are threatening to disrupt JK and put it out of business entirely. JK has many areas that are in need of analysis to identify the positive impact that newer technology may have on its business.
You have been assigned to choose one of the 4 “current state” issues below and articulate the benefits of using the new technology.
Current State Issues
1. JK is using multiple regional data centers with older and less reliable hardware to deliver technical capabilities like point of sale, distribution logistics, loyalty programs, etc. Each of these data centers has high overhead with regard to management (labor), administration (skills), facilities (buildings, environmentals, security, network, and energy). This issue may be a candidate for the analysis of cloud computing.
2. JK has many distribution centers and trucks. These distribution centers do not integrate with the store systems for the timely tracking of deliveries. The current systems do not allow the store managers to answer simple questions like “where’s my truck” or “where’s my order”. JK also has a limited home delivery or “buy online and pick up in store capability. In essence, the distribution channel stops at the store rather than at the customers home as opposed to up and coming rivals. This issue may be a candidate for an overhaul of the enterprise Warehouse Management System and supply chain optimization.
3. JK has limited knowledge of it’s customers. The company relies primarily on random coupons based on products that need to be moved quickly. The marketing and promotion campaigns rely heavily on newspaper advertisements that promote based on time of year, holidays, or weekly bargains that represent overstock or third party promotions that they pass on to customers. There is a limited mobile and web experience with regard to meal planning, shopping list, personal preferences, allergies, or other localization items. This issue may be a candidate.

Final Paper, Essay Proposal, & Outline
·
The final essay should be about
6-7 pages
in length
·
The focus of this essay will be to state, explain, develop, and defend a particular thesis based upon some theme in philosophy of religion related to the texts we’ve been reading.
·
The thesis needs to make some specific
claim
(or closely interrelated set of claims) about some topic or theme that we’ve touched on this term, (see list of possible topics below).
·
This claim needs to be stated clearly, explained carefully, fully developed in relation to the kinds of arguments and objections we’ve encountered in texts, by at least two different authors, and defended with philosophical arguments and reasons drawing upon texts we’ve read, ideas of your own, and your own experiences and beliefs.
·
Be sure to relate the theme of your essay to our lives. Why does this claim matter? What difference does it make if you’re right about the thesis?
Topics:
Possible theses can respond to the following topics…
·
Is it appropriate to claim that there is only one true religion?
(Please don’t pick this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Do all religions share some common core, so that differences don’t really matter?
·
Does the existence of evil and suffering logically disprove a good all-powerful God?
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does the amount and kind of evil and suffering count against the existence of God? Is any evil truly pointless?
(Again, please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does claiming we cannot know whether any evil is pointless also entail that we cannot know (apart from divine revelation) that God really intends our good?
·
Is it possible for God to make genuinely free creatures who are guaranteed never to do wrong (Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…” either).
·
Is evil and suffering in the world justified by bringing a greater good?
(Please don’t choose this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Does Christian belief in the incarnation, suffering, , death, and resurrection of Jesus make a difference for the problem of evil and suffering?
·
What is the nature of evil? Is it a “thing” in this world or is it merely the privation of good?
·
Do even secular values (moral, political, social, etc.) function ultimately in a kind of religious way? What are the limits of tolerance?
·
How can a loving God judge evil and how can God allow some people to choose an ultimate destiny that ends in their own destruction (i.e. Hell)?
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, does that exclude the existence of God or make God’s existence superfluous
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”).
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, what does that suggest about the nature of divine providence and God’s relation to the creation?
(Please try not to pick this one; thank you)

Outline & Annotated Bibliography
The option I chose for the final project was option (b), to select and write about a feature length film made between 1970-2000. The film I chose is a story by Stephen King, ‘The Green Mile’, directed by Frank Darabont. Below I will outline my final paper for the course, as well as list and discuss a few sources that I will be citing.
· Introduction
· Discuss the making of the film
· The film’s success (box office/awards and nominations)
· Critical reaction to the film
· Personal reaction to the film (what I liked/did not like, critique of main character roles and actors/actresses who played them)
· Discuss direction of film (montage/sound and music)
· Discuss direction of film cont. (cinematography/ special effects)
· Conclusion
· Bibliography
Cinematography of The Green Mile. (2014). Cinematography of The Green Mile. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from https://bnyce82.wordpress.com/
This reference is specific to the cinematography techniques used in the film, ‘The Green Mile’. It provides insight into the various aspects of cinematography, such as the tone of the film, the camera angles and lighting, as well as the dialogue between the characters. This reference will help backup the information I will provide in my final paper.

This reference is the actual film, ‘The Green Mile’, found on YouTube. I will be watching the entire film to gather information for my final paper. The information I will be looking for while watching this film are the editing techniques used by the director, as well as my personal reaction to draw a general conclusion from.
Ebert, R. (1999). The Green Mile Movie Review & Film Summary (1999) | Roger Ebert. Rogerebert.com. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-green-mile-1999
The movie review of, ‘The Green Mile’, by the late Roger Ebert is a perfect reference to gain insight to the critical review of the film upon its release. I will be referencing opinions and points made by the infamous film critic, as he discusses the direction of the film, as well as the actors’ performance.

Final Digital Marketing Plan
Final Digital Marketing Plan PowerPoint Presentation,
Introduction
In this PowerPoint presentation, we will present our Final Digital Marketing Plan for our product the Concussion Protocol Sensor (CPS). This product idea was created by Simone Harvey and voted on by the remaining team members in team D to implement as our product idea. In the first phase of the marketing plan we outlined a target market and included a segmentation criteria for the Concussion Protocol Sensor. Second, we will developed a digital advertising strategy and included two sample banner ads and a mock landing page for the website in our marketing plan. Third, the presentation will provide examples of three mock web ads and include specifics of where they will be placed. And we will create a budget for a two week advertising campaign.
The second phase of the marketing plan will summarize our plan to reach consumers. Our goal to reach our consumers is by using email marketing to directly send out email advertisements to consumers through the assistance of AWeber. In today’s day and age, social media and instant connection is the best most popular way of connecting with not only friends and family but consumers as well. There are many different forms of social media out there today such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram. We will utilize these platforms in our marketing strategy in an effort to reach as many consumers as possible.

Target MarketYouth Sports Programs focused on young athletesHigh School students interested in sportsCollege Athletic ProgramsCoaches involved in sports programs
The target market for the CPS would be youth sports programs focused on young athletes, age 6-13; high schools students interested in sports, age 14-18; University athletic programs, and coaches involved in sports.
The ages that would benefit would span from very young children all the way to adults that are active in sports or other activities that could be extreme enough to lead to potential head injuries.

Demographic Market Segmentation
As it relates to the segmentation criteria we used to determine the target market for the CPS, we chose the Demographic Market Segmentation’s, as it works best with our marketing strategy since the data is easily available and drastically affects buying patterns. Age, income, gender, ethnic background and family life cycle are all important factors of demographic segmentation.
The CPS is going to use an age range of 5-34 years of.

Political EconomyChapter Objectives
1. Describe the relationship between governments and the economy.
2. Describe different types of economic systems, including capitalism, socialism, and command economies.
3. Examine measures of economic performance.
4. Identify the fields of comparative and international political economy, including their major areas of research.
The presidential election of 1992 was an interesting one. Not only did the incumbent president, George H. W. Bush, have a stunningly high approval rating coming out of the Gulf War but the election also featured a third-party candidate, Ross Perot, who received the highest percentage of votes ever in American history for a third party. The Democratic challenger, Bill Clinton, was also an anomaly. A Democrat from the solid Republican South, he had also been accused of sexual harassment. Despite what would seem an easy reelection for then president Bush, James Carville, one of Clinton’s campaign advisers, summed up Clinton’s message for the voters quite succinctly: “It’s the economy, stupid.” With America in a recession and Bush having gone back on his pledge of “no new taxes,” Clinton’s economic message resonated with the American people, and Clinton handily won the Electoral College that November. Political science research has consistently shown that economic concerns are a primary issue for voters—especially voters who ask themselves “Am I better off now than I was four years ago?” when deciding how to cast their vote for president. Thus, politicians are rightly concerned with a country’s economy and challenged about how to respond to economic pressures.
This chapter explores the very crucial relationship between government and economy, the study of which is termed political economy. Although certainly not an absolute rule, a government cannot long be successful if its citizens suffer economic hardships and poor quality of life. Although there have been exceptions to this like North Korea, those states usually succeed because of their authoritarian nature. We will start first with a discussion of the connection between politics and economy and then move to discuss different types of economic systems, including capitalism and socialism. Although we discuss these ideal-type models, the reality is that there is no country in the world that is completely capitalist or completely socialist; rather, types of economies fall on a wide spectrum, having to do with how much each government is involved in economic activity. Following this, we will discuss the ways in which the government can be involved in the economy, primarily through the tools of fiscal and monetary policies and the types of factors that influence economic performance. Finally, the chapter discusses two subfields in this area of study: comparative political economy and international political economy.What Does Politics Have to Do with the Economy?

The document summarizes changes in European population, culture, technology, and unification from 1960-2000. Population growth declined among indigenous Europeans as immigration increased from former colonies. Consumerism rose due to mass production while religion attendance declined. New technologies like computers and the Internet spread information globally. Medical advances increased life expectancy. After the Cold War ended, Eastern European states transitioned to capitalism. To promote trade and prevent future wars, European nations increasingly unified politically and economically into the European Union.
Apush review-key-concept-6.1-revised-edition
Key Concept 6.1 discusses the rise of industrial capitalism in the United States following the Civil War. Technological advances and large-scale production methods encouraged business consolidation and monopolies. In response, farmers organized cooperatives and alliances to gain political influence, while laborers joined unions to improve wages and conditions. Dissatisfaction among farmers and laborers led to the rise of the Populist Party in the 1890s, which advocated for government regulation of railroads and other industries.

Final PaperOne reason that California have been known as the Gol.docx
Final Paper
One reason that California have been known as the Golden State is because of the influence of Hollywood. The well-known reputation of the entertainment of Hollywood has been showed the natural advantages of California, such as the weather, coast, and the natural resources. Also, the Hollywood shows another side of California, which is the world-leading level of technology companies. However, it is controversial to state that California is shown to the world by Hollywood. In fact, I prefer the saying that the history and the multicultural environment breed the great potential of the newborn Hollywood at the first place. While Hollywood shows the diverse cultures in California, it expresses in the influence of the California history by showing the images of different racial people in the films.
California have been a state of immigration, attracting people from the world to migrate the family and invite them to contribute for the development of California. It is fair to say that California was built by the people with different ethnical backgrounds. However, Hollywood has not been treated equally to the contributors with different races. White can be always be the lead of the movie. For example, a white actor can play the role with quality of richness, smartness and toughness. A non-white Hispanic actor can play the role of a billionaire, a drug dealer, a villain, a genius, and a special agent. However, Chinese Americans have the least if the scenes in the Hollywood films. Chinese Americans express a very stereotypical image of neediness, Kungfu, or weakness. In historical speaking, the Chinese were first shown in California in the event of Gosh Rush in the 1800s. The image of Chinese miners in Gold Rush is influent to the image of the Chinese Americans from Hollywood firms. It is hard to truly know the Chinese culture through the media. I doubt that Chinese culture does not assimilate to the society of California. In the Chronicling California, it pointed out that the Chinese culture was not quite “fit” into the California society: “the expulsion of the Chinese is not demanded on the ground that they represent cheap labor... they are regarded by the thoughtful as objectionable because they represent a substitution of unchangeable foreign and hopelessly unassimilative material for that which is malleable and assimilative” (100, Hoikkala and Wallis). Most of the Chinese miners had the strong responsibilities to support their families by sending the money to oversea. The loss of currency conflicts with the California society also indirectly caused the Chinese Exclusion Act later in 1882. Comparing to other immigrants, Chinese suffered the unequal treatments, which is why it is hard to see the Chinese cultures in the early Hollywood films.
While Hollywood has published some great firms about the World War II, it emphasized the victory of the United States, avoiding the fact that how the California government treated unfairly to the.
Final PaperIndia and China provide two fascinating country case st.docx
Final Paper
India and China provide two fascinating country case studies for comparing political systems, political cultures, economic growth and the future of the world’s two largest populations.

Final Paper
Final Paper Synopsis:
The purpose of this paper will be to simulate a professional analysis of a segment of technology that will contribute to the success of your fictional company. Each student will use the same company. You will choose one of five technologies on which to focus. The complete guidelines are below beginning with the scenario.
Scenario
Overview
JK Incorporated is a 50-year-old retail and distribution grocery company that owns and operates 3,000 stores under different banners across the United States. The mix of products includes products purchased from other manufacturers as well as product that JK manufactures itself. This results in national brands and private labels sold side by side. JK has stores, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and its own distribution fleet of trucks.
JK has enjoyed many years of success using methods that are now considered out of date and is now no longer leading in the industry. Technically progressive companies have entered the grocery industry and are threatening to disrupt JK and put it out of business entirely. JK has many areas that are in need of analysis to identify the positive impact that newer technology may have on its business.
You have been assigned to choose one of the 4 “current state” issues below and articulate the benefits of using the new technology.
Current State Issues
1. JK is using multiple regional data centers with older and less reliable hardware to deliver technical capabilities like point of sale, distribution logistics, loyalty programs, etc. Each of these data centers has high overhead with regard to management (labor), administration (skills), facilities (buildings, environmentals, security, network, and energy). This issue may be a candidate for the analysis of cloud computing.
2. JK has many distribution centers and trucks. These distribution centers do not integrate with the store systems for the timely tracking of deliveries. The current systems do not allow the store managers to answer simple questions like “where’s my truck” or “where’s my order”. JK also has a limited home delivery or “buy online and pick up in store capability. In essence, the distribution channel stops at the store rather than at the customers home as opposed to up and coming rivals. This issue may be a candidate for an overhaul of the enterprise Warehouse Management System and supply chain optimization.
3. JK has limited knowledge of it’s customers. The company relies primarily on random coupons based on products that need to be moved quickly. The marketing and promotion campaigns rely heavily on newspaper advertisements that promote based on time of year, holidays, or weekly bargains that represent overstock or third party promotions that they pass on to customers. There is a limited mobile and web experience with regard to meal planning, shopping list, personal preferences, allergies, or other localization items. This issue may be a candidate.
Final Paper, Essay Proposal, & Outline·The final essay should .docx
Final Paper, Essay Proposal, & Outline
·
The final essay should be about
6-7 pages
in length
·
The focus of this essay will be to state, explain, develop, and defend a particular thesis based upon some theme in philosophy of religion related to the texts we’ve been reading.
·
The thesis needs to make some specific
claim
(or closely interrelated set of claims) about some topic or theme that we’ve touched on this term, (see list of possible topics below).
·
This claim needs to be stated clearly, explained carefully, fully developed in relation to the kinds of arguments and objections we’ve encountered in texts, by at least two different authors, and defended with philosophical arguments and reasons drawing upon texts we’ve read, ideas of your own, and your own experiences and beliefs.
·
Be sure to relate the theme of your essay to our lives. Why does this claim matter? What difference does it make if you’re right about the thesis?
Topics:
Possible theses can respond to the following topics…
·
Is it appropriate to claim that there is only one true religion?
(Please don’t pick this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Do all religions share some common core, so that differences don’t really matter?
·
Does the existence of evil and suffering logically disprove a good all-powerful God?
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does the amount and kind of evil and suffering count against the existence of God? Is any evil truly pointless?
(Again, please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does claiming we cannot know whether any evil is pointless also entail that we cannot know (apart from divine revelation) that God really intends our good?
·
Is it possible for God to make genuinely free creatures who are guaranteed never to do wrong (Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…” either).
·
Is evil and suffering in the world justified by bringing a greater good?
(Please don’t choose this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Does Christian belief in the incarnation, suffering, , death, and resurrection of Jesus make a difference for the problem of evil and suffering?
·
What is the nature of evil? Is it a “thing” in this world or is it merely the privation of good?
·
Do even secular values (moral, political, social, etc.) function ultimately in a kind of religious way? What are the limits of tolerance?
·
How can a loving God judge evil and how can God allow some people to choose an ultimate destiny that ends in their own destruction (i.e. Hell)?
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, does that exclude the existence of God or make God’s existence superfluous
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”).
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, what does that suggest about the nature of divine providence and God’s relation to the creation?
(Please try not to pick this one; thank you)

Outline & Annotated Bibliography
The option I chose for the final project was option (b), to select and write about a feature length film made between 1970-2000. The film I chose is a story by Stephen King, ‘The Green Mile’, directed by Frank Darabont. Below I will outline my final paper for the course, as well as list and discuss a few sources that I will be citing.
· Introduction
· Discuss the making of the film
· The film’s success (box office/awards and nominations)
· Critical reaction to the film
· Personal reaction to the film (what I liked/did not like, critique of main character roles and actors/actresses who played them)
· Discuss direction of film (montage/sound and music)
· Discuss direction of film cont. (cinematography/ special effects)
· Conclusion
· Bibliography
Cinematography of The Green Mile. (2014). Cinematography of The Green Mile. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from https://bnyce82.wordpress.com/
This reference is specific to the cinematography techniques used in the film, ‘The Green Mile’. It provides insight into the various aspects of cinematography, such as the tone of the film, the camera angles and lighting, as well as the dialogue between the characters. This reference will help backup the information I will provide in my final paper.
Darabont, F. (1999). The Green Mile. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslrToVsu80
This reference is the actual film, ‘The Green Mile’, found on YouTube. I will be watching the entire film to gather information for my final paper. The information I will be looking for while watching this film are the editing techniques used by the director, as well as my personal reaction to draw a general conclusion from.
Ebert, R. (1999). The Green Mile Movie Review & Film Summary (1999) | Roger Ebert. Rogerebert.com. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-green-mile-1999
The movie review of, ‘The Green Mile’, by the late Roger Ebert is a perfect reference to gain insight to the critical review of the film upon its release. I will be referencing opinions and points made by the infamous film critic, as he discusses the direction of the film, as well as the actors’ performance.
Kuhn, A., & Westwell, G.(2012). cinematography. In A Dictionary of Film Studies. : Oxford University Press. Retrieved 28 Jun. 2017, from http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199587261.001.0001/acref-9780199587261-e-0124.
This general reference on cinematography is from the Oxford Dictionary of Film Studies. I found this entry very useful during week 4 of the course when it was presented and will use it as a reference for my final paper, as well as future discussions. The entry defines cinematography in film making as capturing movement on film, as well as explains the role of a cinematographer on a movie set.

Final Digital Marketing Plan
Final Digital Marketing Plan PowerPoint Presentation,
Introduction
In this PowerPoint presentation, we will present our Final Digital Marketing Plan for our product the Concussion Protocol Sensor (CPS). This product idea was created by Simone Harvey and voted on by the remaining team members in team D to implement as our product idea. In the first phase of the marketing plan we outlined a target market and included a segmentation criteria for the Concussion Protocol Sensor. Second, we will developed a digital advertising strategy and included two sample banner ads and a mock landing page for the website in our marketing plan. Third, the presentation will provide examples of three mock web ads and include specifics of where they will be placed. And we will create a budget for a two week advertising campaign.
The second phase of the marketing plan will summarize our plan to reach consumers. Our goal to reach our consumers is by using email marketing to directly send out email advertisements to consumers through the assistance of AWeber. In today’s day and age, social media and instant connection is the best most popular way of connecting with not only friends and family but consumers as well. There are many different forms of social media out there today such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram. We will utilize these platforms in our marketing strategy in an effort to reach as many consumers as possible.

Target MarketYouth Sports Programs focused on young athletesHigh School students interested in sportsCollege Athletic ProgramsCoaches involved in sports programs
The target market for the CPS would be youth sports programs focused on young athletes, age 6-13; high schools students interested in sports, age 14-18; University athletic programs, and coaches involved in sports.
The ages that would benefit would span from very young children all the way to adults that are active in sports or other activities that could be extreme enough to lead to potential head injuries.

Demographic Market Segmentation
As it relates to the segmentation criteria we used to determine the target market for the CPS, we chose the Demographic Market Segmentation’s, as it works best with our marketing strategy since the data is easily available and drastically affects buying patterns. Age, income, gender, ethnic background and family life cycle are all important factors of demographic segmentation.
The CPS is going to use an age range of 5-34 years of.

Complete table structures are required; students must also determine if primary or any other keys are required for each table. The student must also describe, in detail, and in a separate document, the rationale he/she used in developing the specified set of tables, as well as the specific fields in the tables.
· Rationale used in developing the specified set of tables, as well as the specific fields in the tables, is provided (Separate file for upload to Blackboard).
· Fieldnames are all single-valued; each column has a distinct name; all the values in a column are values of the attribute that is identified by the column name; the order of columns and rows is immaterial; each row is distinct.
· Database and tables are created in Access.
· Correct table relationships are established in Access.
· Referential integrity, cascade update and cascade delete are used appropriately
Keys (0-10 points)
· All appropriate keys have been identified and their functions described in the rationale document
· Primary key is a minimal collection of columns on which all columns are functionally dependent.
