Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. These include behaviors, stories, rituals (everyday practices that are repeated frequently), and symbols (e.g., company logos, company colors). For example, the president of a company volunteering at Habitat for Humanity is an artifact of culture. An example of symbols as an artifact of culture is Ashford University’s shield that serves as our logo and is printed on transcripts, diplomas and letterhead paper. Submit a two- to three-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) describing the culture of either your current or past place of employment. Your paper should provide examples of and address each of the following topics: Observable artifacts Espoused values (These are what organizational members say they value, like ethical practice.)

Synthesis Assignment Instructions and Rubric Synthesis Essay. A synthesis is a written discussion that draws on one or more sources. In an academic synthesis, you make explicit the relationships that you have inferred among separate sources, make judgments, draw conclusions and critique individual sources to determine the relationship among them. You should refer to supporting material and examples from class readings, discussions, and research, with proper citations. The essay should not be a summary of the readings but examination of their meanings in systems of belief and reason. You should analyze the claims of authors and their implications. You should also develop an argument, or thesis, based on the synthesis of class readings. Making your own Myth-to be posted on your Tumblr blog The purpose of this collaborative writing exercise is to create an origin myth story of your own imagination. Using the examples from the origin myths in the DBR 200 iBook-create your own origin myth! What was there before the beginning of time? Of space? What does the universe look like in your imagination? Is there a “Creator” in your story? Or multiple “entities” that act like creators or instigators or accidents of nature? What do these “beings” or entities look like? How do they act? Are you telling the story from the perspective of ancient, primitive imaginations? Or is this story a translation or recital of the “original story” told by the “creators” or “first beings or entities?” What about the origins of humankind? How will you describe those events? What sort of relationship do those creatures have with the world or universe? Step One-Try to address some of the issues I’ve raised above in your group discussions. Begin to sketch in some of the details you might like to include as a kind of framework or outline to your story. Step Two-Continue to try to collect images or sounds that might be included in a multimedia representation of the story. You should immediately consider the restrictions/limitations to the kind of media that you can post on Tumblr. That will affect your choice of materials and how they are presented. Step Three-Create the First draft version of the myth and use it to expand/contract depending on how the group wants the version to be received or understood/listened or viewed by your readers. You might even post it up and ask for feedback from “followers” on your Tumblr blogs. Step Four-Post your final version on Tumblr. Each student in the group should post the same/group’s version of the origin story. I will reblog the final versions to everyone. The final version should have a short section at the bottom of the work acknowledging sources, such as the origin myths included in the iBook, in the form of footnotes that detail how a particular figure from one of the origin myths inspired your version, etc. Rubric for Synthesis Assignment-Origin Myths Glossary The definitions that follow were developed to clarify terms a.

Suppose a zoo wants a C++ program to keep track of its animals and to provide information for visitors. Suppose the following class is the base class of an public inheritance hierarchy. class Animal { public: Animal( std::string &); private: std::string name; // The particular animal’s name }; Animal::Animal( std::string & animaName) : name( animalName) {} Create a derived class that represents a specific group or family of animals, and derive from that another class that represents an even more specific family or an individual species. For example, your classes could be Bear and PolarBear , or Cat and Lion . Each of your classes should publicly inherit from the next larger class up the inheritance chain (e.g. PolarBear inherits from Bear and Bear inherits from Animal. ) Each of your classes should contain a private static data member representing something that is true of all objects of that class. (e.g. for PolarBear , it might be a Boolean isWhite). Post the C++ declaration of your two classes and show the constructor code and the initialization of the static data members. .

Summer 2014 PHIL 1171 Ethics Final Essay Questions 1 Part One: Essays Question applying Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do? In Part One, choose one the following questions to answer and then proceed to Part Two: Question choice one: Over the past few years, the Federal Supreme Court has taken up the question of “affirmative action” policies in the United States as related to education and hiring practices. For any student not familiar with affirmative action, read the Stanford Encyclopedia entry on affirmative action: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/affirmative-action/ In short, affirmative action policies allow public institutions, businesses and universities to consider race and gender (as two of many factors) in hiring and admissions practices as a way to 1) correct historical injustices against women and minorities in hiring and admissions and 2) foster diversity in business and education that is seen by some as morally good. Thus, theoretically, if two applicants are equal in qualifications, the public institution, business or university may consider their race or gender in admissions or hiring. A good example of Affirmative Action is related to our own building of the new Vikings Stadium. The Minnesota Sports Facilities Association (MSFA) and the Minnesota Vikings are building a new Vikings Stadium that will cost almost $1 billion dollars and open in 2016. The stadium will require millions in taxes. Mortenson Construction Company won the contract and will oversee the project. In agreement with MSFA and the Vikings, Mortenson has made this statement about hiring women, people with disabilities and minority-owned companies and workers: Construction of the new stadium will require nearly 4.3 million work hours and will involve 7,500 tradespeople from 19 different trades and hundreds of local subcontractors and suppliers. In addition, the MSFA and the Vikings have established a Targeted Business Program that sets an 11% and 9% goal for construction contracts for the project to be awarded to women - and minority-owned business enterprises, respectively. The stadium project has also set construction workforce goals for utilization of women and minorities during construction of 32% minority and 6% women participation. In Minnesota, for a business to qualify as a “targeted group” for the Targeted Business Program, it must have 51% or more of its business owned and operated by women, people with disabilities or by a “targeted” minority group including African -American, American-Indian, Asian-American, Alaska-Native or Hispanic-American. For this question, I want you to compare and contrast the theories of libertarianism and Rawls’ justice as fairness whether these mandates (9-11% companies; 6 and 32% workers) are just or not. First, I want you to make an argument against these mandates using the theory of libertarianism . Second, I want you to make an argument for these mandates using John Rawls’ theory of jus.
