It also discusses the historical and cultural context in China that Confucianism developed within.
The Literature of China
The flag of China consists of a large red field with five yellow stars - a large star representing the Communist Party surrounded by four smaller stars representing the social classes united under the party. The red color symbolizes revolution and tradition, while yellow represents the Manchu dynasty and the Chinese people. China has over 9 million square kilometers of territory and the dominant Han ethnic group makes up over 90% of the population. Standard Mandarin Chinese is the official language and religions include Buddhism, Taoism, folk traditions, Islam, and Christianity.
INT-244 Topic 6b Confucianism
Confucianism originated from the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius. Confucius lived from 551-479 BC and taught that society is best governed when people follow the principles of ren (benevolence), li (proper ritual), and xiao (filial piety). He believed people are fundamentally good and can be educated to make moral choices. Confucius' teachings were further developed by thinkers like Mencius and became the dominant philosophy and value system during China's Han Dynasty. Confucianism emphasizes social harmony, education, ancestor worship, and serving in government leadership. Confucian texts like the Five Classics and Four Books of Learning were used as the basis for China's civil service
Introducing the I Ching
The document describes the origins and early history of the I Ching, or Book of Changes, an ancient Chinese divination text and the earliest of the Chinese classics. It details how the oracle bone method of divination evolved into a system using broken and unbroken lines that represented heaven, earth, and humanity. These lines were combined into trigrams and hexagrams that were given meanings and used for divination. Key figures who contributed to the development of the I Ching included King Wen, who composed texts for each hexagram, and his son Duke of Zhou, who added further explanatory texts. Confucius also wrote additional essays for each hexagram. Over time, the I Ching became an important philosophical and spiritual text in Chinese thought alongside the rise of

CHINA BEFORE THE EUROPEANS
China is the world’s most stable civilization. There is no other place on earth where one has to start four thousand years ago to explain what is happening today, where aspects of today’s culture were so recognizable as far before the birth of Christ as we are after it.
Three things necessary to know from the beginning of China’s recorded history: the concept of yin and yang, ancestor veneration, and how Chinese is written. For the Chinese, the power that drives the universe comes from the twin poles of yin and yang. Yin is female, weak, dark, feeling, body, earth, war, death; yang is male, strong, light, thinking, spirit, sky, peace, life. These dualities, these polar opposites, make up the universe, and drive the universe with the energy the flows between them, like the poles of a magnet. They are opposite, yet they do not exist in isolation, nor do they exist without the other. This is beautifully summed up in the taijitu symbol, where the black and white are, first, not a straight line but one that curves greatly, and where the opposite-shaded dots represent the indivisible nature of their union.
The universe only works well if the yin and the yang are in balance, and one of these pairs of opposites are heaven and earth. Earth is what we experience; heaven is that which we do not directly experience in this life, but where we go after this life. Chinese ideas of divinity are very vague—there are gods, but they are not the be-all nor the end-all—but those forces that important are in heaven, and they do not care what happens on earth. Those who do care are our ancestors, as long as we continue to respect them. Thus every year, for as long as we have records, the Chinese have paid respect to their ancestors, gathering at their graves, leaving them food, leaving them money, tidying things up, so that they will look after us and listen to our requests and our prayers.
Chinese writing has also not changed greatly, at least in its general outlines, in four thousand years. Most writing systems began as ideographic systems, which is to say that one symbol equaled one idea. In most places, the earliest writing was keeping track of business transactions or warehouse inventories. For example, three dashes would mean “three,” a square with outwardly rounded sides could stand in for a barrel, and a mug with suds could represent beer, and thus you knew there were three barrels of beer in the warehouse that day. As the utility of writing became apparent, however, and since this system could not easily keep track of the necessary grammatical changes—i.e, the difference between man, man’s, men, and men’s, or walk, walking, walked—these ideographic systems quickly changed to syllabic or alphabetic systems, related to sounds a.

Your Visit to the Forbidden
City in Beijing, China
A
highlight of your tour of China is the
Forbidden City, located in Beijing (bay-
JING), a city formerly known as Peking.
Most tourists to Beijing see at least a
bit of it, but because of your interest in
world religions and cultures, you
are looking forward to a more
in-depth view. The traditional
name “Forbidden City” comes
from the fact that it was formerly
closed to all but the emperor,
who was considered the “Son of
Heaven,” and his court offi cials. It
was sacred to both Daoists and
Confucianists. Now it doesn’t
seem at all for-
bidding to you, but inviting. The cur-
rent offi cial name for this complex,
the Palace Museum, also seems more
inviting.
The complex consists of an
astounding 980 surviving build-
ings spread out over an area one
mile long and one-half mile wide. It
covers 183 acres, which your guide
puts in terms you can understand:
it’s the size of 166 football fields. It
has two parts, both of which you
can enter: the outer court, where
the emperor ruled the nation,
and the inner court, where he
and his closest courtiers lived
with their families. The complex is
surrounded by a wide moat as well as a wall thirty feet
high. As you cross into the Forbidden City through its
only entrance at the Tiananmen (tee-YEN-ahn-men) or
“Heavenly Peace” Gate, your guide says that it’s help-
ful for you to understand more about the history of
the area.
Like the yin and yang, Confucianists and Daoists both agreed ...
Confucianism (World Religion)
Confucianism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that emphasizes social harmony which is achieved through everyone fulfilling their roles and responsibilities. Confucius taught that individuals stand in five relationships to others as sovereign-subject, father-son, elder-younger brother, husband-wife, and friend-friend. Central concepts in Confucianism include ren (humaneness), filial piety, ritual, and the ideal of the perfect gentleman who cultivates virtue and humaneness. Confucius advocated for meritocracy and taught students of all classes.

China Resources and Potentialities
China Resources and Potentialities:
An Exploration of a statement attributed to Abdul-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith:
“China has the most great capability. The Chinese people are most simple-hearted and truth-seeking…Truly, I say, the Chinese are free from any deceit and hypocrisies and are prompted with ideal motives. China is the country of the future."
And another statement by Shoghi Effendi, the grandson of Abdu'l-Baha:
“China, a land which has its own world and civilization, whose people (in 1923) constitute one-fourth of the population of the globe, which ranks foremost among all nations
in material, cultural, and spiritual resources and potentialities, and whose future is assuredly bright."
INT-244 Confucianism
Confucianism originated in China in the 6th-5th century BCE through the teachings of Confucius. It later spread to other East Asian countries like Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Confucianism emphasizes moral ethics and values, the importance of strong social relationships and hierarchies, education and scholarship, and bringing harmony to society and individuals through self-cultivation. Confucius taught the Chinese classics and values like ren (benevolence), yi (righteousness), and li (rituals and propriety) to his disciples with the goal of creating a just, stable, and harmonious social order. Confucianism was later promoted by philosophers like Mencius and became
East Asian Civilization
The document provides information on early East Asian civilizations including the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China. It discusses that the Shang Dynasty ruled from around 1556 BC to 1046 BC according to current texts and was the first Chinese empire, using tools like the wheel and domesticating animals. Oracle bones from the late Shang Dynasty containing early Chinese script provided historians with insights. The Zhou Dynasty then overtook the Shang and ruled for over 800 years based on a philosophy of a "Mandate from Heaven." Popular philosophers from this era included Confucius who emphasized education and virtue, Laozi who blamed laws for restricting human nature, and Han Fei who believed the state was more important than individuals.
2.3_CHINESE PHILOSOPHY.ppt
The document discusses different perspectives on human nature from ancient Chinese philosophies such as Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism, and how they influenced the forms of government established in early Chinese dynasties. Confucius viewed humans as essentially good and advocated for rule through moral example and social hierarchy, while Daoism saw people as naturally good but governments as problematic and a source of conflict. The philosophies debated whether humans are fundamentally good or evil, and what type of legal and political system this implies is needed to govern society.

Confucius report
Confucius was an influential Chinese philosopher whose teachings about ethics, morality and good governance shaped Chinese thought for centuries. He lived from 551-479 BC during a time of political chaos. Confucius believed that social harmony could be achieved through self-cultivation, moral leadership and proper relationships between rulers and subjects.

Herein are recorded not opinions but the reflections of one who for forty years has participated in
the education of the Black, brown, yellow and white races in both hemispheres and in tropical
and temperate regions. Such experience, too, has been with students in all grades from the
kindergarten to the university. The author, moreover, has traveled around the world to observe
not only modern school systems in various countries but to study the special systems set up by
private agencies and governments to educate the natives in their colo.
The mission of policing was described by the author as covering six .docx
The mission of policing was described by the author as covering six key areas: enforcing the law, apprehending offenders, preventing crime, predicting crime, preserving the peace, and providing services. With the advent of various forms of terrorism and transnational crime, the police mission has expanded beyond the traditional borders of burglaries and domestic disputes.
Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select two scholarly articles from the university criminal justice databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the use of intelligence-led policing (ILP) and the development of fusion centers to equip law enforcement for their expanded mission. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on ILP and the development of fusion centers.

Your Visit to the Forbidden
City in Beijing, China
A
highlight of your tour of China is the
Forbidden City, located in Beijing (bay-
JING), a city formerly known as Peking.
Most tourists to Beijing see at least a
bit of it, but because of your interest in
world religions and cultures, you
are looking forward to a more
in-depth view. The traditional
name “Forbidden City” comes
from the fact that it was formerly
closed to all but the emperor,
who was considered the “Son of
Heaven,” and his court offi cials. It
was sacred to both Daoists and
Confucianists. Now it doesn’t
seem at all for-
bidding to you, but inviting. The cur-
rent offi cial name for this complex,
the Palace Museum, also seems more
inviting.
The complex consists of an
astounding 980 surviving build-
ings spread out over an area one
mile long and one-half mile wide. It
covers 183 acres, which your guide
puts in terms you can understand:
it’s the size of 166 football fields. It
has two parts, both of which you
can enter: the outer court, where
the emperor ruled the nation,
and the inner court, where he
and his closest courtiers lived
with their families. The complex is
surrounded by a wide moat as well as a wall thirty feet
high. As you cross into the Forbidden City through its
only entrance at the Tiananmen (tee-YEN-ahn-men) or
“Heavenly Peace” Gate, your guide says that it’s help-
ful for you to understand more about the history of
the area.
Like the yin and yang, Confucianists and Daoists both agreed ...
Confucianism (World Religion)
Confucianism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that emphasizes social harmony which is achieved through everyone fulfilling their roles and responsibilities. Confucius taught that individuals stand in five relationships to others as sovereign-subject, father-son, elder-younger brother, husband-wife, and friend-friend. Central concepts in Confucianism include ren (humaneness), filial piety, ritual, and the ideal of the perfect gentleman who cultivates virtue and humaneness. Confucius advocated for meritocracy and taught students of all classes.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
Big Bang Theory_SP.ppt
The document discusses several creation myths and the scientific Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe. It provides an overview of the Big Bang model, including the main stages and timeline from the initial singularity to the formation of stars and galaxies. It also briefly discusses Hindu, Biblical and other creation myths, noting both similarities and differences compared to the scientific Big Bang theory. The Big Bang is proposed to have occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago, with the universe rapidly expanding and cooling over time, allowing for the formation of elementary particles, atoms, stars and other celestial bodies.
China Resources and Potentialities
China Resources and Potentialities:
An Exploration of a statement attributed to Abdul-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith:
“China has the most great capability. The Chinese people are most simple-hearted and truth-seeking…Truly, I say, the Chinese are free from any deceit and hypocrisies and are prompted with ideal motives. China is the country of the future."
And another statement by Shoghi Effendi, the grandson of Abdu'l-Baha:
“China, a land which has its own world and civilization, whose people (in 1923) constitute one-fourth of the population of the globe, which ranks foremost among all nations
in material, cultural, and spiritual resources and potentialities, and whose future is assuredly bright."
INT-244 Confucianism
Confucianism originated in China in the 6th-5th century BCE through the teachings of Confucius. It later spread to other East Asian countries like Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Confucianism emphasizes moral ethics and values, the importance of strong social relationships and hierarchies, education and scholarship, and bringing harmony to society and individuals through self-cultivation. Confucius taught the Chinese classics and values like ren (benevolence), yi (righteousness), and li (rituals and propriety) to his disciples with the goal of creating a just, stable, and harmonious social order. Confucianism was later promoted by philosophers like Mencius and became
East Asian Civilization
The document provides information on early East Asian civilizations including the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China. It discusses that the Shang Dynasty ruled from around 1556 BC to 1046 BC according to current texts and was the first Chinese empire, using tools like the wheel and domesticating animals. Oracle bones from the late Shang Dynasty containing early Chinese script provided historians with insights. The Zhou Dynasty then overtook the Shang and ruled for over 800 years based on a philosophy of a "Mandate from Heaven." Popular philosophers from this era included Confucius who emphasized education and virtue, Laozi who blamed laws for restricting human nature, and Han Fei who believed the state was more important than individuals.
2.3_CHINESE PHILOSOPHY.ppt
The document discusses different perspectives on human nature from ancient Chinese philosophies such as Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism, and how they influenced the forms of government established in early Chinese dynasties. Confucius viewed humans as essentially good and advocated for rule through moral example and social hierarchy, while Daoism saw people as naturally good but governments as problematic and a source of conflict. The philosophies debated whether humans are fundamentally good or evil, and what type of legal and political system this implies is needed to govern society.
01 chinese history classes-qin-language
The document provides information on the development of Chinese characters and calligraphy over time, including the evolution of specific characters, the earliest oracle bones dating back 8,000 years ago, and the standardization of script during the Qin Dynasty. It also discusses key figures like Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Confucianism, paper and the four treasures of calligraphy.
Asian studies lecture hand outs
This document summarizes the history of pre-colonial Asia, focusing on Japan and Korea. It outlines 11 distinct periods in Japanese history from 12,500 BCE to 1573 CE, characterized by developments like the creation of pottery, introduction of agriculture and iron tools, construction of large burial mounds, acceptance of Buddhism, and the establishment of a feudal system. It also notes Korea was dominated by three kingdoms: Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Archaeological and historical evidence are used to understand these societies.
The First Vision and First Beast: Egypt
The document discusses the first vision described in the Book of Daniel, in which Daniel sees four beasts emerging from the sea. It argues that the first three beasts represent the earliest ancient civilizations - Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Media-Persia. It provides historical and scientific evidence to support identifying the first beast as Egypt, noting Egypt's early dominance in the region and the development of civilization there around 9000 BC as modern humans emerged. The document explores various interpretations and theories regarding reconciling descriptions of creation and early humanity in the Bible with scientific understandings.
China in the middle ages for notes in class copy
The document discusses China during the medieval period, outlining several dynasties that ruled including the Sui, Tang, and Song Dynasties. It describes key figures like Empress Wu and cultural developments like the spread of Buddhism. Major technological advances are also noted such as the development of porcelain, paper money, and irrigation techniques that increased food production.
Filsafat fkm-2-sejarah-filsafat (1)
- The document discusses the history of philosophy in Western, Chinese, Indian, and Greek traditions. It divides philosophy into periods based on cultural and intellectual developments.
- In ancient Greece, early philosophers like Thales, Anaximander, and Democritus sought natural rather than supernatural explanations for the world, laying the foundations for science. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle then shifted philosophy's focus to ethics and the individual.
- The medieval period was dominated by religious doctrine, while the modern age saw the rise of rationalism, empiricism, and other movements as religion's influence declined. Philosophy and science gradually separated in the 18th century.
A Revolution in Man Evolution.pdf
This document presents a theory that there were three types of beings that lived on Earth: Neanderthals, Homo sapiens, and modern humans. It claims that Homo sapiens, which existed for tens of thousands of years before modern humans, were actually a type of intelligent being called jinn described in the Quran. It provides religious texts and analyses of archaeological evidence to argue that Homo sapiens were more advanced than humans and built structures like pyramids. The document seeks to explain strange archaeological findings by distinguishing between the three types of beings.
Anecdotes In Early China
This document provides an overview of early Chinese anecdotes. It defines anecdotes as brief narratives that were commonly used in early Chinese literature from the Zhou to Han dynasties to illustrate ideas and arguments. The document examines the characteristics and functions of anecdotes, how they were used across different genres, and their rhetorical power. It also analyzes a sample anecdote from the Han Feizi about a Duke of Xue using clever tactics to determine which woman the King of Qi desired to make his new queen. The document argues that anecdotes played an important role in the development and transmission of political and philosophical ideas during this formative period in Chinese history.
history of eastasia.pdf
This document provides an outline history of East Asia from prehistoric times to 1200 AD. It discusses the development of early civilizations in China, Korea, and Japan, highlighting that:
1) The region has been inhabited for over 200,000 years, with agriculture emerging around 10,000 BC with the domestication of millet and rice.
2) Early civilizations in East Asia were diverse, with many distinct tribal cultures rather than a single unified tradition.
3) While grain cultivation allowed for permanent settlements, people in Korea and Japan lived sustainably for millennia through foraging, fishing, and gathering before adopting rice agriculture from mainland China.
4) There is no single linear narrative of "
Confucius report
Confucius was an influential Chinese philosopher whose teachings about ethics, morality and good governance shaped Chinese thought for centuries. He lived from 551-479 BC during a time of political chaos. Confucius believed that social harmony could be achieved through self-cultivation, moral leadership and proper relationships between rulers and subjects. Though he sought political positions, he was never appointed to high office. Confucius spent his later years teaching and editing classical texts. His emphasis on virtue, propriety and humanism established the foundation for Confucian philosophy.
Propaganda and Institutions (part 1).pdf
This document summarizes a lecture on propaganda and institutions. It discusses several topics:
- Not assigning a paper to give more time for in-class exercises exploring how visual concepts relate to materials and applying classical propaganda concepts.
- How scholar-bureaucrats in ancient China used Confucian classics to define and interpret law while justifying involuntary labor systems.
- Elements of the Japanese moral code Bushido according to Zen Buddhism, Shintoism, and Confucianism emphasizing loyalty, ancestors, and practical application of knowledge.
- How bureaucracy provides a platform for propaganda by making unpopular measures seem necessary, and how idolatry can overcome love of children in causing war.
Ids 330 "Environmental Leadership" Basic Introduction (University of the West)
This document discusses the evolution of the human brain and consciousness. It references scientific evidence that suggests humans are not unique in possessing consciousness, as many other mammals and animals have similar neurological structures. It explores philosophical questions about human nature and exceptionalism. It also touches on Buddhist concepts like anatta (not-self) and examines how humans have understood their place in the natural world over time.
moral philosophical.pdf
This document discusses several moral and philosophical concepts including consequentialism, Taoism, Confucianism, and the nature of moral philosophy. It defines consequentialism as ethical theories that judge the rightness of an action based on its consequences. It describes the Dao De Jing as a classic Taoist text attributed to Laozi that explains how to act in accordance with nature. Confucianism is discussed in relation to the Lunyu text and focusing on virtue, harmony and order. The document provides quotes and summaries of the key ideas from these philosophical works.

The Milgram Experimentby Saul McLeod published 2007Milgram sel.docx
The Milgram Experiment
by Saul McLeod published 2007
Milgram selected participants for his experiment by newspaper advertising for male participants to take part in a study of learning at Yale University. The procedure was that the participant was paired with another person and they drew lots to find out who would be the ‘learner’ and who would be the ‘teacher’. The draw was fixed so that the participant was always the teacher, and the learner was one of Milgram’s confederates (pretending to be a real participant).
The learner (a confederate called Mr. Wallace) was taken into a room and had electrodes attached to his arms, and the teacher and researcher went into a room next door that contained an electric shock generator and a row of switches marked from 15 volts (Slight Shock) to 375 volts (Danger: Severe Shock) to 450 volts (XXX).
Milgram's Experiment
Procedure:
At the beginning of the experiment, each participant was introduced to another participant, who was actually a confederate of the experimenter (Milgram). They drew straws to determine their roles – learner or teacher – although this was fixed and the confederate was always the learner. There was also an “experimenter” dressed in a grey lab coat, played by an actor (not Milgram).
Two rooms in the Yale Interaction Laboratory were used - one for the learner (with an electric chair) and another for the teacher and experimenter with an electric shock generator.
The “learner” (Mr. Wallace) was strapped to a chair with electrodes. After he has learned a list of word pairs given him to learn, the "teacher" tests him by naming a word and asking the learner to recall its partner/pair from a list of four possible choices.
The teacher is told to administer an electric shock every time the learner makes a mistake, increasing the level of shock each time. There were 30 switches on the shock generator marked from 15 volts (slight shock) to 450 (danger – severe shock).
The learner gave mainly wrong answers (on purpose) and for each of these the teacher gave him an electric shock. When the teacher refused to administer a shock the experimenter was to give a series of orders / prods to ensure they continued. There were 4 prods and if one was not obeyed then the experimenter (Mr. Williams) read out the next prod, and so on.
Prod 1: please continue.
Prod 2: the experiment requires you to continue.
Prod 3: It is absolutely essential that you continue.
Prod 4: you have no other choice but to continue.
Results:
65% of all the participants (teachers) continued to the highest level of 450 volts. All the participants continued to 300 volts. Milgram did more than one experiment – he carried out 18 variations of his study. All he did was alter the situation (IV) to see how this affected obedience (DV).
Conclusion:
Ordinary people are likely to follow orders given by an authority figure, even to the extent of killing an innocent human being. Obedience to authority is ingrained in us all from the way.

What a crisis Europe is in, with waves of migrants reaching its shores as the Arab world implodes. It is the biggest migration into Europe since the end of World War II and is shaping up to be its first great and sustained challenge of the 21st century. It may in fact shape that continent’s nature and history as surely as did World War I.
It is a humanitarian crisis. As Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations notes, it will not soon go away, for two reasons. First, the Mideast will not be peaceful anytime soon and may well become more turbulent. Second, “The more that Europe responds the more it will reinforce the supply of migrants. Europe is caught.” If it doesn’t respond with compassion and generosity it is wrong in humanitarian terms; if it does, more will come and the problem grows. “This is now part of the architecture,” says Mr. Haass.

Three hundred eighty-one thousand detected migrants have arrived so far this year, up from 216,000 in all of 2014. Almost 3,000 died on the journey or are missing. The symbol of their plight is the photo of the 3-year-old Syrian boy, Aylan Kurdi, who drowned along with his mother and 5-year-old brother when their boat capsized near a Turkish beach. Just as horrifying is what was found inside a Volvo refrigerated truck stranded on the shoulder of the A4 highway 30 miles from Vienna in late August. Inside were 71 bodies, including a 1½-year-old girl, all dead of suffocation. They’d been left there by human smugglers.
It is a catastrophe unfolding before our eyes, and efforts to deal with it have at least one echo in America, which we’ll examine further down.
According to the U.N. refugee agency, 53% of the migrants are from Syria, 14% from Afghanistan, 7% from Eritrea, and 3% each from Pakistan, Nigeria, Iraq and Somalia. Seventy-two percent are men, only 13% women and 15% children. Not all are fleeing war. Some are fleeing poverty. Not all but the majority are Muslim.
The leaders of Europe have shown themselves unsure about what to do. It is a continent-wide crisis that began in 2011, as Tunisians fled to the Italian island of Lampedusa. The following year, sub-Saharan Africans who’d migrated to Libya made for Europe after Muammar Gadhafi’s fall. Since then the European response has largely been ad hoc and stopgap. European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker has proposed a “permanent relocation mechanism” with EU members taking greater shares of the refugees, but it is unclear how exactly it would work.
In many EU nations there will be powerful pushback. Like the crisis itself the pushback will build. Europe is in econo.

ABSTRACT
In the period immediately following the rumors of Michael Jordan's return to basketball, the five companies that
Jordan had major endorsement deals with experienced a nearly $3 billion increase in the market value of their
equity. Jordan was labeled the $2 billion man in the press, referring to the value he created for the shareholders of
the companies he endorses. However, most of these reports failed to cite the simultaneous bull market that lead
the S&P 500 to record highs. The Michael Jordan effect is examined, and it is found that shareholders experienced
negative abnormal returns after the announcement of his retirement and positive excess returns when rumors of a
comeback surfaced. However, it is also shown that the positive excess returns following the rumors of Jordan's
comeback were only temporary and disappeared within weeks of the original rumors. While some evidence is
found in support of a Michael Jordan effect, it appears that the rumors of Jordan's impact have been greatly
exaggerated.
FULL TEXT
On October 6, 1993 Michael Jordan unexpectedly retired from basketball after leading the Chicago Bull's to three
straight NBA championships. The following spring he showed up for spring training with the Chicago White Sox.
Despite his early retirement Jordan maintained his five major endorsement deals from which he is rumored to
receive a total of approximately $30 million annually. These endorsements are highlighted in exhibit 1.
On March 2nd, 1995 Jordan ended his attempt at professional baseball and left the Chicago White Sox spring
training facilities. Shortly after his retirement from baseball, rumors of Jordan's return to basketball surfaced.
These rumors touched off a media frenzy as the popular press tied increases in the stock prices of the companies
Jordan endorses to speculation over his return. The Los Angeles Times reported that five days after the first
reports of his comeback, advertisers experienced a collective $2.3 billion gain in equity value. Time Magazine,
Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and nearly every major newspaper ran similar reports at about the same time. Jordan
was labeled the $2 billion man. The implication was that Jordan's rumored return to basketball increased his value
as an endorser resulting in an over $2 billion dollar gain to shareholders.
Table I illustrates the increase in the market value of the five companies which Jordan endorses. The collective
increase in market value over a nine business day period, from the date of the first rumors until the first trading day
after his comeback announcement, was more than $2.9 billion. The average return over those nine days was
4.59%. The return on the S&P 500 over the same nine day period was just 2.91%.
We examine two questions.
The Metropolitan Police Department had recently been criticized in t.docx
The Metropolitan Police Department had recently been criticized in the local media for not responding to police calls in the downtown area rapidly enough. In several recent cases, alarms had sounded for break-ins, but by the time the police car arrived, the perpetrators had left, and in one instance a store owner had been shot. Sergeant Joe Davis had been assigned by the chief as head of a task force to find a way to determine the optimal patrol area (dimensions) for their cars that would minimize the average time it took to respond to a call in the downtown area.
Sergeant Davis solicited help from Angela Maris, an analyst in the operations area for the police department. Together they began to work through the problem.
Joe noted to Angela that normal patrol sectors are laid out in rectangles, with each rectangle including a number of city blocks. For illustrative purposes he defined the dimensions of the sector as
x
in the horizontal direction and as
y
in the vertical direction. He explained to Angela that cars traveled in straight lines either horizontally or vertically and turned at right angles.
Travel
in a horizontal direction must be accompanied by travel in a vertical direction, and the total distance traveled is the sum of the horizontal and vertical segments. He further noted that past research on police patrolling in urban areas had shown that the average distance traveled by a patrol car responding to a call in either direction was one-third of the dimensions of the sector, or
x
/3 and
y
/3. He also explained that the travel time it took to respond to a call ( assuming that a car left immediately upon receiving the call) is simply the average distance traveled divided by the average travel speed.
Angela told Joe that now that she understood how average travel time to a call was determined, she could see that it was closely related to the size of the patrol area. She asked Joe if there were any restrictions on the size of the area sectors that cars patrolled. He responded that for their city, the department believed that the perimeter of a patrol sector should not be less than 5 miles or exceed 12 miles. He noted several policy issues and
staffing
constraints that required these specifications. Angela wanted to know if any additional restrictions existed, and Joe indicated that the distance in the vertical direction must be at least 50% more than the horizontal distance for the sector. He explained that laying out sectors in that manner meant that the patrol areas would have a greater tendency to overlap different residential, income, and retail areas than if they ran the other way. He said that these areas were layered from north to south in the city. So if a sector area were laid out east to west, all of it would tend to be in one demographic layer.
Angela indicated that she had almost enough information to develop a model, except that she also needed to know the average travel speed the patrol cars could trav.

THE MG371 CASE
Growth Pains at Mountain States Healthcare
Background
Mountain States Healthcare (MSH) is a regional system of hospitals located
in several large metropolitan areas of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado,
and in Acapulco, Mexico. MHS started as a single hospital in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and, due to the business acumen and experience of its officers and
Board of Directors, was quite successful and profitable.
Over the years, Salt Lake Hospital began purchasing other hospitals and
clinics in the state that were not as profitably operated, and eventually
changed its name to Utah Health Group (UHG). Each facility continued to
operate as an independent entity, except that its name was changed to
include “Utah Health Group” and UHG instilled its own successful
management style in the newly purchased facilities. When a hospital was
bought in Denver, Colorado, the firm created a medical facility holding
company in Salt Lake City, named Mountain States Healthcare. MHS treated
each facility as a separate subsidiary, except for the clinics, which were
associated with a larger hospital in the area. MSH continued to grow, adding
facilities from the states it declared as its strategic area.
Later, they added a new division of several clinics, an assisted living facility,
and a hospital in the resort city of Acapulco, Mexico, to take advantage of
medical needs of the large tourist and American retirement population there.
The Mexico venture was the most profitable and fastest growing of the MHS
family.
MSH was a profitable venture, but began to realize that some of its
administrative costs were, collectively, much higher than other medical
holding companies, and reducing the profits that could be used for the
benefit of shareholders. Additionally, the higher overhead costs were
affecting the advantage of some hospitals to compete within their districts.
The divisions had historically set themselves apart from other medical
facilities by offering a full line of specialties within their service packages.
The corporate holding company supported this by sharing resources,
technology, and even personnel between the divisions when needed. This
allowed each of the hospitals to position themselves as medical technology
competent full service providers.
A consulting firm pointed out several areas of administration which could be
consolidated, using the latest technology, to realize a tremendous reduction
in costs. The new VP of Finance, Aaron Nelson, newly promoted from the
state billing office manager’s position, suggested that medical billing should
be the first to consolidate. He reasoned that as each of the facilities had
consolidated the billing operations for all facilities within their five geographic
areas a few years ago, they should be able to completely consolidate all
billing with the latest database technology in a fairly short time, and.
The Methods of Communication are Listening, Writing, Talking, Rea.docx
The Methods of Communication are: Listening, Writing, Talking, Reading, and Non-Verbal.
Listening - speaking by using words and terminology that others can comprehend
Talking - the ability to read and comprehend the written word
Writing - tone and inflection of one’s voice facial expression, posture and eye contact
Non-Verbal - using the written word in a manner that others can understand the intended message
Reading - the ability to hear and understand what the speaker is saying
Review the five methods of communication you would use in the given scenarios:
Scenario 1: An irate customer comes to your store and is very upset with a defect in a product he ordered. Which method of communication would be the most effective to use with this customer? (Listening)

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

https://app.box.com/s/y977uz6bpd3af4qsebv7r9b7s21935vdLAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
