Read the scenario and then respond to the checklist items
in a minimum of a 1–2 essay using APA format and citation style (include an additional title and reference page).
Scenario:
Sam Trudeau owned a busy veterinary hospital. Two receptionists “manned” the front desk at all times. Their responsibilities were to answer phones, make appointments, collect payments on services rendered, and various other duties. Almost all payments into the hospital were in the form of cash, checks, and charge cards.
A receptionist called in sick, and Sam could not find any other employee who could work her shift, so Sam decided to cover the shift himself. On the day he covered the sick receptionist’s shift, the phones seemed to be ringing non-stop, clients were backed up, and everything was chaotic. Mr. Ordine, a regular client, and his dog had just been seen by the veterinarian, and Mr. Ordine wanted to pay his bill in cash. Sam knew Mr. Ordine’s dog received just one vaccine, and the price was $25.00, but no paperwork was done yet, so Sam took Mr. Ordine’s cash and said he would mail him the receipt when one was generated.
At the end of the day, the veterinarian still had not completed the paperwork, and Mr. Ordine’s file was in the stack to be re-filed. Apparently the veterinarian had forgotten to generate the paperwork, so there was $25.00 in the cash drawer that had no paper trail. Sam needed to run by the grocery store on his way home and was short cash, so he took the $25.00 out of the drawer, meaning to pay it back.
The next day, no one had noticed the $25.00 was missing, and Mr. Ordine’s file was re-filed. Sam considered the plusses and minuses of putting the $25.00 back in the drawer, and creating the paperwork for the service rendered. Mr. Ordine was expecting a receipt to be mailed to him, but Sam knew he could easily generate a receipt without it going into the computer system, thus allowing him to just keep the $25.00. After all, it was not that much money and if he did the proper paperwork, he would just have to pay taxes on it anyway.
Respond to the checklist items below in a minimum of a 1–2 page response using APA format and citation style (include an additional title and reference page).

2) Explain the strength of one of your viewpoints chosen for #1 and the corresponding weakness with regards to this scenario and the decision made by Sam Trudeau.

Scenario
In Part I of the assignment, Chuck House and Ben Holmes created a business they called House & Holmes Facilities Management. At the time, Chuck and Ben were the only employees. By the end of the second year, House & Holmes hired two additional full-time employees and paid a few temporary laborers as needed for certain maintenance jobs.
Chuck and one of the temporary laborers, Steve, were carrying an old cast iron bathtub through a customer’s house when the homeowner’s dog ran under Steve’s feet, causing him to lose his balance and drop his end of the tub. Unable to control the tub, Steve dropped his end of the tub causing it to knock over a flat screen television that shattered on the floor. The tub left scratches in the wood floors. Steve tore his rotator cuff in the fall and was unable to work for two months. Ryan, the customer, was upset about his television.
House & Holmes owns three trucks and one van, each registered to the business. The vehicles advertise the company’s name, phone number and website. Jason, one of the full-time employees, drives one of the trucks home at night when he is on call for emergency repairs. One night Jason stopped off at Hillside Tavern to have a couple of beers before going home. On the way home, Jason swerved to avoid hitting a deer and hit a car driven by Charmaine Wilson. Charmaine’s car sustained $4,500 in damages and she missed three days of work recovering from her injuries.
Regions Bank loaned $20,000 to House & Holmes. Chuck, Ben and their friend Phil agreed to be co-sureties for the loan. The handyman business defaulted on the loan and Regions Bank plans to sue Phil for payment of the loan.
House & Holmes agreed to install a new air conditioning unit and an outdoor kitchen in a luxury home on the beach. The parties agreed to a price of $9,500 for the purchase and installation of the air conditioning unit and outdoor kitchen. Chuck agreed to let the homeowner pay for the work in installments of $2000 a month. Two months later, the homeowner filed for bankruptcy. Chuck demanded payment of the remaining amount due or threatened to repos.

Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled.
Scenario
John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital.
The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours."
Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time.
In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions.
Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smith told John to recommend that the operational systems were good enough and that the hospital should build a new wing for additional ER exam rooms and hire more physicians.
Interrupting Dr. Smith, John said, "The hospital has a very limited capital budget and no funds have been allocated for build.

Read the following and then answer the questions at the bottom
The IT staff at Texas Health Resources Inc. must deliver more than technical functionality. And it needs to deliver more than the business requirements; it also has to meet the organization’s ethical standards.
To that end, its systems must help ensure that Texas Health complies with laws and regulations. And they also have to promote the right behaviors and prevent or flag undesirable ones, says Micheal Alverson, vice president and deputy chief information officer at the Arlington-based nonprofit health care system. Consider the challenge of handling patients’ medical records. Even though the federal Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act mandates that agencies keep those records private, caregivers still need to access them—when appropriate.
So the organization’s electronic health records system “gives doctors and nurses who are caring directly for patients quick access when they use the right authentication,” Alverson says. But additional authentication is required to get records for patients who aren’t under the provider’s immediate care. The system records who gets access to what, allowing officials to audit and review cases to ensure there’s no inappropriate access.
“the IT staff holds itself to similar ethical standards, too,” Alverson says. The department has policies that prohibit taking gifts and endorsing vendors, to help guarantee that workers make procurement decisions only based on quality and needs. And when there’s any question—such as when a vendor proposes a deep discount if Texas Health agrees to be an early adopter of a new technology—IT leaders can turn to the system wide Business and Ethics Council for guidance.
“If we really want everyone to subscribe to the idea that working at Texas Health is special, then we have to have people actively believe in doing the right thing,” Alverson says.
Companies are increasingly looking at their ethics policies and articulating specific values that address a range of issues, from community commitment to environmental sustainability, which employees can use to guide their work. The need to comply with federal laws and regulations drives some of this, while consumer expectations, employee demands, and economic pressures also play a part.
Information technology consultant Dena L. Smith lays out a hypothetical dilemma: should an IT department hire a more expensive vendor because the vendor shares its own company’s ethics standards, or should it go with a lower cost provider that doesn’t?
Companies with established ethical standards that guide how they conduct business frequently confront this kind of question, Smith says, but it’s a particularly tough question today, given the recession,. With IT departments forced to cut budgets and staff, chief information officers will find it difficult to allocate dollars for applications that promote corporate ethics.
“The decisions are easier in the days when the e.

Read the complete description of the Oral History Interview Final Paper due in this class. Here in Week Four, you must submit a draft of this paper. The draft should include an introduction, thesis, the information you provided in the Interview Description you submitted in Week Two, and be at least three to five pages in length (plus a title page and a reference page) at this time. The draft must utilize the course text and at least three scholarly sources, at least one of which you obtained from preliminary research in the Ashford University Library. The draft must be in paragraph form, properly formatted in APA style, and include an updated reference list of sources you intend to use in the final paper.
Final Paper: Oral History Interview Paper
Throughout the course, you will be exploring various aspects of culture and intercultural communications. Your final assignment in this course will be to
conduct an extensive oral history interview with a person who is somewhat older than you and from a culture or subgroup that you are not a member of.
This person can be a relative or acquaintance who is from a different generation. It can be someone who immigrated to this country either recently or some time ago. Or, it can be someone who belongs to a different subgroup from you and whose cultural experiences you believe would be very different from your own. Obtain permission from the person you are interviewing to record the conversation (either an audio or a video and audio recording) or to take handwritten notes during the interview.
Your overarching goals during the oral history interview are as follows:
To learn more about the culture and subcultures to which your interview subject belongs.
To determine what issues they encountered in terms of intercultural communications.
To relate concepts you have studied in this course to the experiences of this person.
After you have conducted the interview, review your recording or your notes and write a six- to eight-page paper (excluding a title page and a reference page), in which you discuss aspects of this person's culture and/or subcultures and communication issues related to his or her cultural identity. In the paper, you must also include the following:
The name of the person and his or her relationship to you.
The interview subject's cultural background and the culture and/or subcultures to which he or she belongs.
At least six questions from the following list. You may add additional questions or other questions not on this list, if you wish. Remember, though, that the focus of your paper must be on intercultural communication issues.
How far back in time can the person remember? What is his or her first childhood memory? (Consider how it reflects the interview subject's culture or subculture?)
What does the person remember of the experience of being an immigrant or a subgroup member in that time?
Which impressions or experiences from that time are most vivid to him or her today?
If he or sh.

2. Allusions are a key part of Hyde’s argument. Choose one cultural allusion, and explain how it functions in the overall line of reasoning.
3. What values lurk beneath the explicit claims about original punk culture? (In other words, what principles or qualities must a reader value to accept Hyde’s argument?)
4. Describe Hyde's use of counterargument. Point to a particular passage and explain how it works as counterargument-and how it helps to develop Hyde's overall point.
5. Take a close look at Hyde’s Works Cited list. Based on this list and Hyde's use of song lyrics, how would you define "authority" in academic argument?

CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services of.

Read Kristof’s Saudi’s in Bikinis” (272) then answer these follow.docx
Read
Kristof’s “Saudi’s in Bikinis” (272) then answer these following questions:
1.
What
Were Your“Gut Reactions” to the Works as You First Read Them? This section is not about facts, objective analysis, or even interpreting the abstract; rather, it is all about the first impression—“gut” reactions—you specifically had upon first reading the piece.
2.
Distinctions – Identifying the lines of demarcation between the works and ideas within the works, which is embracing complexity! What makes the works different from one-another—in terms of the authors’ biographies, the contexts of the works, or the works themselves? Look for uniqueness.
3.
Systems – Look at
the parts
and
the whole
that comprise systems. The ideas and specific details of each work do not exist in isolation, as they are part of larger systems (social, political, economic, ideological, etc) that the work represents, draws from, or influences.
4.
Relationships –
What
Connects the Works? What parallels, or connections, do you see among the works? What points of agreement or disagreement do they have on the surface (explicitly stated)? What about beneath the surface (implied)? Do you see any “common denominators” running through any combination of these readings? For this section, think in terms of the shaded section of a Venn Diagram. Think creatively, and explain your rationale for the connections you make
5.
Perspectives – Attempting to understand and appreciate where the author/speaker is coming from, which translates into respect, empathy, tolerance, and personal and social responsibility. What does the work teach, either implicitly or explicitly, about such areas I’ve just listed? Furthermore, how did the works personally impact your understanding of other beliefs, cultures, or places?
6.
What
“rhetorical mode” is the piece listed under (i.e. in what chapter of the book does each work appear), and how effectively does the piece represent that mode? Use specific details from the chapter/rhetorical mode introduction to explain how a particular
narrative
essay, for example, demonstrates the rhetorical mode of narration. Also, discuss what other modes are used in conjunction with that mode and provide examples. Using the narrative essay as an example again, do you see the rhetorical modes of “description” or “exemplification” (examples) being used by the author?
7.
What
Ideological, Philosophical, Political and/or Spiritual Content Emerges in the Works? In contrast to the “concrete” material in the works that can be obtained through observation and factual information (like section II and III above), this section asks you to examine
ideas
essentially—which are less tangible and harder to nail-down with absolute certainty. Your job is to use “inference” (assumptions about the unknown based on the known) and examples in order to make the case for the existence of abstract content. It is safe to say that each work contains
some
degree of at leas.

SoftMan Products Co., LLC v. Adobe Systems, Inc.

Adobe Systems, Inc. v. Stargate Software, Inc.
, 216 F. Supp. 2d 1051 (N.D. Cal. 2002)
Reply to a classmate who reached a conclusion different than yours (i.e., if your analysis showed that SoftMan should prevail, respond to someone who chose Adobe). Your reply should explain why your analysis results in a better solution to the case.
The reply must be at least 450 words, and rely on at least two scholarly sources other than the text and the Bible, cited in proper APA form.
Micheal Stafford is the student you are responding to He is for Adobe and I was for Softman:
Facts:
The case Softman Products Company LLC., versus Adobe Systems Incorporated presents numerous complex issues in regards to contract law. Softman, a reseller of computer software, has been selling Adobe products that Adobe believes should be distributed as part of a set if they are to be distributed at all. As a result of Softman’s actions, Adobe files a counterclaim because they believe that Softman has infringed on its trademark. Adobe feels that it reputation is at stake because they believe that the products that Softman has been selling have been altered and consumers may have a difficult time receiving the proper technical support if they experienced problems with the software, which could cause consumers not to trust the Adobe name. Softman Products Company believes that they have committed no wrong doing since they do not have a contract with Adobe Systems Incorporated. There are various questions that the court must answer in regards to this case. First of all, what right(s) does Adobe have as owner of the intellectual property? What does Adobe actually own? Does the First Sale Doctrine apply in regards to this case?
Issue:
Adobe contends that it products are not to be sold, but distributed through licensing agreements, and the end user obtains a license to use the products; however, the end user does not own any of the copyrighted information. The end users agreement allows for the sale or transfer of the software, provided that the person or entity transfers all of the products and surrender all of their rights to use the software (Palma Decl., Ex. 1.). Softman’s case relies on the First Sale Doctrine, which was first reviewed by the United States Supreme Court in 1908, and states, “the owner of a particular copy…lawfully made under this title… is entitled, without the authority of the copyright owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of the possession of that copy.” (Bobbs-Merrill Co. v. Straus, 210 U.S. 339, 28 S. Ct. 722, 52 L.Ed. 1086 (1908). Softman legally purchased the software, and because of the company’s intent to resale the merchandise, they technically were not the end users of the product, so should they be subject to the end users agreement?

Scenario
In Part I of the assignment, Chuck House and Ben Holmes created a business they called House & Holmes Facilities Management. At the time, Chuck and Ben were the only employees. By the end of the second year, House & Holmes hired two additional full-time employees and paid a few temporary laborers as needed for certain maintenance jobs.
Chuck and one of the temporary laborers, Steve, were carrying an old cast iron bathtub through a customer’s house when the homeowner’s dog ran under Steve’s feet, causing him to lose his balance and drop his end of the tub. Unable to control the tub, Steve dropped his end of the tub causing it to knock over a flat screen television that shattered on the floor. The tub left scratches in the wood floors. Steve tore his rotator cuff in the fall and was unable to work for two months. Ryan, the customer, was upset about his television.
House & Holmes owns three trucks and one van, each registered to the business. The vehicles advertise the company’s name, phone number and website. Jason, one of the full-time employees, drives one of the trucks home at night when he is on call for emergency repairs. One night Jason stopped off at Hillside Tavern to have a couple of beers before going home. On the way home, Jason swerved to avoid hitting a deer and hit a car driven by Charmaine Wilson. Charmaine’s car sustained $4,500 in damages and she missed three days of work recovering from her injuries.
Regions Bank loaned $20,000 to House & Holmes. Chuck, Ben and their friend Phil agreed to be co-sureties for the loan. The handyman business defaulted on the loan and Regions Bank plans to sue Phil for payment of the loan.
House & Holmes agreed to install a new air conditioning unit and an outdoor kitchen in a luxury home on the beach. The parties agreed to a price of $9,500 for the purchase and installation of the air conditioning unit and outdoor kitchen. Chuck agreed to let the homeowner pay for the work in installments of $2000 a month. Two months later, the homeowner filed for bankruptcy. Chuck demanded payment of the remaining amount due or threatened to repos.

Case Study 1: Jackson
Jackson is a 25-year old male who has recently been admitted to a substance abuse program in Chicago, Illinois. He has been arrested several times for possession of a controlled substance but has not served any time in jail. He grew up in a single-parent household with his mother, Tina. Tina, 45, is employed as a high school teacher; his biological father is not involved in his life. Tina’s boyfriend, Michael, often attempts to serve as a father figure to Jackson.
Jackson went to college immediately after high school, focused on a degree in chemistry. In high school, he was a good student who earned A’s and B’s in most courses. After a car accident, a slight head injury caused him to lose some cognitive functioning and analytical skills. Jackson started drinking alcohol occasionally with friends during his freshman year of college. He also abused prescription painkillers given to him after the accident.
Jackson was in two serious relationships his senior year of high school, with Alice and Beth. He asked both of the girls to marry him, but then recanted. Each of the relationships lasted about 6 months in which each girl complained that Jackson was distant and unable to commit emotionally. Jackson questioned his sexuality his first year in college when he found himself sexually attracted to his roommate Stanley. He asked to be moved to another dorm room due to his uncomfortable feelings around Stanley. Jackson continues to display an overindulgence in alcohol and has difficulty maintaining friendships and relationships. He has left college and is now home with his mother Tina, attending rehab. Tina has claimed that he does not leave his bedroom for the most part and refuses to find a job.

Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled.
Scenario
John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital.
The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours."
Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time.
In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions.
Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smith told John to recommend that the operational systems were good enough and that the hospital should build a new wing for additional ER exam rooms and hire more physicians.
Interrupting Dr. Smith, John said, "The hospital has a very limited capital budget and no funds have been allocated for build.

The IT staff at Texas Health Resources Inc. must deliver more than technical functionality. And it needs to deliver more than the business requirements; it also has to meet the organization’s ethical standards.
To that end, its systems must help ensure that Texas Health complies with laws and regulations. And they also have to promote the right behaviors and prevent or flag undesirable ones, says Micheal Alverson, vice president and deputy chief information officer at the Arlington-based nonprofit health care system. Consider the challenge of handling patients’ medical records. Even though the federal Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act mandates that agencies keep those records private, caregivers still need to access them—when appropriate.
So the organization’s electronic health records system “gives doctors and nurses who are caring directly for patients quick access when they use the right authentication,” Alverson says. But additional authentication is required to get records for patients who aren’t under the provider’s immediate care. The system records who gets access to what, allowing officials to audit and review cases to ensure there’s no inappropriate access.
“the IT staff holds itself to similar ethical standards, too,” Alverson says. The department has policies that prohibit taking gifts and endorsing vendors, to help guarantee that workers make procurement decisions only based on quality and needs. And when there’s any question—such as when a vendor proposes a deep discount if Texas Health agrees to be an early adopter of a new technology—IT leaders can turn to the system wide Business and Ethics Council for guidance.
“If we really want everyone to subscribe to the idea that working at Texas Health is special, then we have to have people actively believe in doing the right thing,” Alverson says.
Companies are increasingly looking at their ethics policies and articulating specific values that address a range of issues, from community commitment to environmental sustainability, which employees can use to guide their work. The need to comply with federal laws and regulations drives some of this, while consumer expectations, employee demands, and economic pressures also play a part.
Information technology consultant Dena L. Smith lays out a hypothetical dilemma: should an IT department hire a more expensive vendor because the vendor shares its own company’s ethics standards, or should it go with a lower cost provider that doesn’t?
Companies with established ethical standards that guide how they conduct business frequently confront this kind of question, Smith says, but it’s a particularly tough question today, given the recession,. With IT departments forced to cut budgets and staff, chief information officers will find it difficult to allocate dollars for applications that promote corporate ethics.
“The decisions are easier in the days when the e.

The draft should include an introduction, thesis, the information you provided in the Interview Description you submitted in Week Two, and be at least three to five pages in length (plus a title page and a reference page) at this time. The draft must utilize the course text and at least three scholarly sources, at least one of which you obtained from preliminary research in the Ashford University Library. The draft must be in paragraph form, properly formatted in APA style, and include an updated reference list of sources you intend to use in the final paper.
Final Paper: Oral History Interview Paper
Throughout the course, you will be exploring various aspects of culture and intercultural communications. Your final assignment in this course will be to
conduct an extensive oral history interview with a person who is somewhat older than you and from a culture or subgroup that you are not a member of.
This person can be a relative or acquaintance who is from a different generation. It can be someone who immigrated to this country either recently or some time ago. Or, it can be someone who belongs to a different subgroup from you and whose cultural experiences you believe would be very different from your own. Obtain permission from the person you are interviewing to record the conversation (either an audio or a video and audio recording) or to take handwritten notes during the interview.
Your overarching goals during the oral history interview are as follows:
To learn more about the culture and subcultures to which your interview subject belongs.
To determine what issues they encountered in terms of intercultural communications.
To relate concepts you have studied in this course to the experiences of this person.
After you have conducted the interview, review your recording or your notes and write a six- to eight-page paper (excluding a title page and a reference page), in which you discuss aspects of this person's culture and/or subcultures and communication issues related to his or her cultural identity. In the paper, you must also include the following:
The name of the person and his or her relationship to you.
The interview subject's cultural background and the culture and/or subcultures to which he or she belongs.
At least six questions from the following list. You may add additional questions or other questions not on this list, if you wish. Remember, though, that the focus of your paper must be on intercultural communication issues.
How far back in time can the person remember? What is his or her first childhood memory? (Consider how it reflects the interview subject's culture or subculture?)
What does the person remember of the experience of being an immigrant or a subgroup member in that time?
Which impressions or experiences from that time are most vivid to him or her today?
If he or sh.

CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services of.

Read Kristof’s Saudi’s in Bikinis” (272) then answer these follow.docx
Read
Kristof’s “Saudi’s in Bikinis” (272) then answer these following questions:
1.
What
Were Your“Gut Reactions” to the Works as You First Read Them? This section is not about facts, objective analysis, or even interpreting the abstract; rather, it is all about the first impression—“gut” reactions—you specifically had upon first reading the piece.
2.
Distinctions – Identifying the lines of demarcation between the works and ideas within the works, which is embracing complexity! What makes the works different from one-another—in terms of the authors’ biographies, the contexts of the works, or the works themselves? Look for uniqueness.
3.
Systems – Look at
the parts
and
the whole
that comprise systems. The ideas and specific details of each work do not exist in isolation, as they are part of larger systems (social, political, economic, ideological, etc) that the work represents, draws from, or influences.
4.
Relationships –
What
Connects the Works? What parallels, or connections, do you see among the works? What points of agreement or disagreement do they have on the surface (explicitly stated)? What about beneath the surface (implied)? Do you see any “common denominators” running through any combination of these readings? For this section, think in terms of the shaded section of a Venn Diagram. Think creatively, and explain your rationale for the connections you make
5.
Perspectives – Attempting to understand and appreciate where the author/speaker is coming from, which translates into respect, empathy, tolerance, and personal and social responsibility. What does the work teach, either implicitly or explicitly, about such areas I’ve just listed? Furthermore, how did the works personally impact your understanding of other beliefs, cultures, or places?
6.
What
“rhetorical mode” is the piece listed under (i.e. in what chapter of the book does each work appear), and how effectively does the piece represent that mode? Use specific details from the chapter/rhetorical mode introduction to explain how a particular
narrative
essay, for example, demonstrates the rhetorical mode of narration. Also, discuss what other modes are used in conjunction with that mode and provide examples. Using the narrative essay as an example again, do you see the rhetorical modes of “description” or “exemplification” (examples) being used by the author?
7.
What
Ideological, Philosophical, Political and/or Spiritual Content Emerges in the Works? In contrast to the “concrete” material in the works that can be obtained through observation and factual information (like section II and III above), this section asks you to examine
ideas
essentially—which are less tangible and harder to nail-down with absolute certainty. Your job is to use “inference” (assumptions about the unknown based on the known) and examples in order to make the case for the existence of abstract content. It is safe to say that each work contains
some
degree of at leas.
Read Case Problem 10-16 on page 283 of your text, and the two relate.docx
Read Case Problem 10-16 on page 283 of your text, and the two related cases:
SoftMan Products Co., LLC v. Adobe Systems, Inc.
, 171 F. Supp. 2d 1075 (C.D. Cal. 2001).
Adobe Systems, Inc. v. Stargate Software, Inc.
, 216 F. Supp. 2d 1051 (N.D. Cal. 2002)
Reply to a classmate who reached a conclusion different than yours (i.e., if your analysis showed that SoftMan should prevail, respond to someone who chose Adobe). Your reply should explain why your analysis results in a better solution to the case.
The reply must be at least 450 words, and rely on at least two scholarly sources other than the text and the Bible, cited in proper APA form.
Micheal Stafford is the student you are responding to He is for Adobe and I was for Softman:
Facts:
The case Softman Products Company LLC., versus Adobe Systems Incorporated presents numerous complex issues in regards to contract law. Softman, a reseller of computer software, has been selling Adobe products that Adobe believes should be distributed as part of a set if they are to be distributed at all. As a result of Softman’s actions, Adobe files a counterclaim because they believe that Softman has infringed on its trademark. Adobe feels that it reputation is at stake because they believe that the products that Softman has been selling have been altered and consumers may have a difficult time receiving the proper technical support if they experienced problems with the software, which could cause consumers not to trust the Adobe name. Softman Products Company believes that they have committed no wrong doing since they do not have a contract with Adobe Systems Incorporated. There are various questions that the court must answer in regards to this case. First of all, what right(s) does Adobe have as owner of the intellectual property? What does Adobe actually own? Does the First Sale Doctrine apply in regards to this case?
Issue:
Adobe contends that it products are not to be sold, but distributed through licensing agreements, and the end user obtains a license to use the products; however, the end user does not own any of the copyrighted information. The end users agreement allows for the sale or transfer of the software, provided that the person or entity transfers all of the products and surrender all of their rights to use the software (Palma Decl., Ex. 1.). Softman’s case relies on the First Sale Doctrine, which was first reviewed by the United States Supreme Court in 1908, and states, “the owner of a particular copy…lawfully made under this title… is entitled, without the authority of the copyright owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of the possession of that copy.” (Bobbs-Merrill Co. v. Straus, 210 U.S. 339, 28 S. Ct. 722, 52 L.Ed. 1086 (1908). Softman legally purchased the software, and because of the company’s intent to resale the merchandise, they technically were not the end users of the product, so should they be subject to the end users agreement?
Rule of Law and Application:
