The Decision As Heidi leaned back and gazed outside at the rain soaked plaza, she considered the pros and cons to the proposal. The proposal carried several risks that she could not fully quantify . First, there was the ability of Levi Strauss to implement new technologies. Second, the cost savings in the proposal were based on CCTC’s estimates in their proposal for the program. Would the program still be successful if the costs turned out to be very different ? Third , market research indicated that women were not satisfied about fit. How much would they be willing to pay for a better fit ? On another level , she wondered about the competition. If the program were successful, would their low cost rivals dive into this market as well ? Did Levi’s have any advantage here ? What if they did not move forward with the proposal ? Would one of their rivals partner with CCTC ? .

The deadline for the final paper is Monday May 11th at 11:59pm . We will workshop your topics in class next Friday, and you can submit your outlines for me to review by Tuesday May, 5th. I hope to give you all feedback on your essay by Wednesday May 6th. As before, it may be best for me to call you over phone (if possible), so if you send me your outline, please provide a contact number if you are comfortable. And some additional info about the paper: (gratefully adapted from an email the other TA., Prof, Colebrook, send to students in his recitations) What's the paper about? As Dr. Appiah discussed in class today, for this final paper, you're being given a wide latitude to write an in-depth, argumentative essay on the subject of your choosing. The only limitations are that (1) it must be about gender, human rights, or economic inequality, either in a national or international context, and (2) it must include some of the philosophical thought of at least two of the traditions we've covered (Confucian, Islamic, or "Western"/Liberal). How will I be grading it? I will use the same rubric I used to evaluate the midterm papers for this essay. You can consult your midterm papers for details on this. Where do I start? Here are a few pointers on how to get started. (None of what I say here is necessary for the paper, just suggestions). 1. Start with a specific human right or moral claim. The UDHR is a great place to begin. 2. Pick a human right. For example, the UDHR guarantees the right to freedom of religion. 3. Pick two or three of the traditions we've covered. In my case, I'd compare, say, a liberal perspective on freedom of religion and an Islamic perspective on freedom of religion. 4. Formulate a thesis. For example, "in this paper, I will argue that freedom of religion, conceived of as a human right guaranteed in the UDHR, is both (a) a non-negotiable element of human dignity and (b) incompatible with basic Koranic obligations and the Islamic tradition of commanding and forbidding." This thesis should be argumentative . You ought to take a stand, and argue in favor of one perspective's interpretation or for your own new perspective. Papers that simply list what each tradition would say on an issue would be inadequate. In formulating your thesis, remember that the narrower your thesis, the easier it will be to defend. Narrow theses are the bread and butter of philosophy papers! 5. Assemble the textual support for this thesis. Go through the syllabus and compile each of the articles that we've covered that is relevant to this thesis - both the required and supplemental readings. 6. Reference your notes for broad outlines of arguments that are relevant to your thesis. In this case, I'd want to use at least Kant, Rawls, and Singer to put together an argument for (a) above, and Cook's work to put together the argument for (b) above. 7. As you're putting together these arguments, refer back to the texts we've covered t.

The deadline for the final paper is Monday May 11th at 1159pm. .docx

The CRM implementation of the project has been underway for 3 months. Ben has been reviewing the invoices from the IT vendor that is providing design and programming services for the CRM implementation. Ben is working with this vendor on a number of different projects, and there are a handful of people that work on multiple projects for him, including the CRM implementation. He just told you that there are some problems with the invoices, and he is not sure what to do about them. George is working on the CRM implementation and 2 other smaller projects. His hours look okay when Ben first looks at them. However, when Ben adds up George's hours for the past month across all 3 projects, they total more than 65 hours per week. Ben knows that George is barely on-site more than 4 hours per day and does not feel that George is producing anything close to 65 hours of work. Two hours per day were billed for Louise for 1 week when she was on vacation. As far as Ben knows, Louise was not invited to any project conference calls nor was there any critical project e-mails sent to her during that time. The rate for Betsy increased by 15% half-way through the second invoice. No explanation was given. Nothing was billed for Ron his entire first month on the project. .

THE CRISIS: A DECADE LATER Lehman’s Last Hires Look Back Four people who started at Lehman Brothers the day it failed reflect on the lessons they’ve learned. By Corrie Driebusch September 15, 2008, was one of the darkest days in the history of Wall Street. For four new college graduates, it was also their first day of work at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Sohil Sheth, Luvleen Sidhu, Justin Gaines and Brian Grossman walked through the doors of Lehman just as the venerable investment bank filed for bankruptcy protection, an event that sent shockwaves around the globe. The aftershocks continue to define many aspects of American life a decade later. The crisis provided these unlucky millennials with a new perspective. Big institutions were no longer infallible. Wall Street no longer offered a guaranteed career path. Life was more fragile than they knew. One thing was certain: Their world would never again look the same.Sohil Sheth Works for Boston technology firm Harding Point Works for Boston technology firm Harding Point My junior year at Amherst, everyone was trying to get an internship in New York at a bank, and I got one with Lehman’s investment management division. All we heard from executives was that Lehman was going to be the next Goldman Sachs. The summer of 2008 I moved to New York for training. I was definitely getting nervous that maybe they would start laying people off. But the messaging at Lehman was ‘don’t worry.’ There’s no way the government would let anything happen to a company as big as Lehman. I was preparing for a licensing exam in my apartment on Sunday, Sept. 14, and there was a new news story every minute. I refreshed my computer browser and all a sudden there was a headline that Lehman declares bankruptcy. I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach. The next day we all went in to work, but everyone was a zombie. I kept working there, but this cloud was hanging over us. I worked in the fund of hedge funds group for two and a half years, but then got super jaded. I went to Peru and worked for a nonprofit for almost a year. A decade ago I defended the finance industry. Looking back, it’s tough to be socially conscious and work in it. I’m not saying tech is saving the world, but there’s more practical applications that can apply to a lot of people than just making the rich richer.Luvleen Sidhu Co-founded digital banking startup BankMobile I interned at Lehman after my sophomore and junior years at Harvard. I graduated in 2008 and started six weeks of training, and the first day on the job was the bankruptcy. I remember contacting HR and I asked, should I come in? I’ve locked the response in my head because it was so unusual. The response was, ‘please come in, it’s business as usual.’ My first day was kind of crazy, in an eerie way that we were ignoring reality. No one was acting panicked. No one was acting out of line, though maybe they were behind closed doors. For it to happen the first day of my car.

The Criminalization of American Business What do Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs have in common? All paid hefty fines for purportedly misleading investors about mortgage-backed securities. In fact, these companies paid the government a total of $50 billion in fines. The payments were made in lieu of criminal prosecutions. Today, several hundred thousand federal rules that apply to businesses carry some form of criminal penalty. That is in addition to more than four thousand federal laws, many of which carry criminal sanctions for their violation. From 2000 to 2019, about 3,200 corporations either were convicted or pleaded guilty to violating federal statutes or rules. Criminal Convictions The first successful criminal conviction in a federal court against a company—the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad—was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1909 (the violation: cutting prices). Many other successful convictions followed. One landmark case developed the aggregation test , now called the Doctrine of Collective Knowledge. This test aggregates the omissions and acts of two or more persons in a corporation, thereby constructing an actus reus and a mens rea out of the conduct and knowledge of several individuals. Not all government attempts at applying criminal law to corporations survive. Courts have sometimes found insufficient evidence to show that a company acted with specific intent to commit a crime. Often, however, companies choose to reach settlement agreements with the government rather than fight criminal indictments. Many Pay Substantial Fines in Lieu of Prosecution More than four hundred corporations reached so-called non-prosecution agreements with the government from 2000 to the beginning of 2019. These agreements typically involve multimillion- or multibillion-dollar fines. This number does not include fines paid to the Environmental Protection Agency or to the Fish and Wildlife Service. According to law professors Margaret Lemos and Max Minzner, “Public enforcers often seek large monetary awards for self-interested reasons divorced from the public interest and deterrents. The incentives are strongest when enforcement agencies are permitted to retain all or some of the proceeds of enforcement.” Questions Presented 1)Why might a corporation’s managers agree to pay a large fine rather than to be indicted and proceed to trial? 2)How does a manager determine the optimal amount of legal research to undertake to prevent her or his company from violating the many thousands of federal regulations? .

The Creation of the Ocean Floor SCI/209 Running head: THE CREATION OF THE OCEAN FLOOR 1 THE CREATION OF THE OCEAN FLOOR 5 The Creation of the Ocean Floor One scientific speculation about the beginning of ocean water declares that as Earth developed from a gas and dust cloud more than 4.5 billion years ago, an enormous quantity of insubstantial elements such as oxygen and hydrogen became confined inside the liquefied inner part of the newly formed planet (Advameg, 2013). In the course of the first few billion years following planets formation, these basic gases emerged across thousands of miles of red-hot and liquefying rock to discharge on the Earth’s surface through fissures (long narrow cracks) and volcanoes. Inside the earth and atop the exterior, the gas hydrogen joined oxygen developing water. Massive amounts of liquid blanketed the planet as an extraordinarily heavy atmosphere of water cloud. Close to the uppermost part of the atmosphere, where high temperature may possibly dissipate to outward reaches of the earth, water vapor concentrated to a liquid form and dropped into the stratum below, chilling the level. This atmospheric cool down procedure lasted till the initial precipitation dropped to the planet’s young exterior and flared into a misty haze. This came to pass as the creation of an astonishing downpour that through the course of time, progressively filled the ocean cavities. There are three major classes of tectonic plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, covergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. The divergent boundaries outstanding features are fresh crust is produced as two or more plates tear away from one other. Oceans are generated and grow broader where plates deviate or pull apart. Seafloor expanding is a process in which the molten rock produces new ground underneath water. This progression takes millions of years to establish a 10 foot hill because growth fluctuates from two to 10 centimeters yearly. The convergent boundaries outstanding features are here crust is demolished and reprocessed back into the inside of the Earth as one plate descents under another. These are recognized as Subduction Zones - volcanoes and mountains are often discovered where plates come together. The kinds of volcanoes that can occur depend on the chemical composition of the molten rock that decides its fluidity. There are three kinds of convergent boundaries: Oceanic-Continental Convergence, Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence, and Continental-Continental Convergence (Platetectonics, 2010). The transform boundaries outstanding features are when two plates are skimming parallel by each other. These are additionally identified as transform boundaries or in addition normally called faults. The San Andreas Fault is the best known and considered the most lethal translational line. One natural event that occurs as a direct result of plate boundary interactions is a tsunami. Plate tectonics are the secondary trigger of tsunamis. When a maj.

Page 39 ABSTRACT. Most of the attention in the last few decades in the human services field has been on the development of culturally competent practice with little attention to the context of this practice. This analysis and case study focuses on the organizational context of social service practitioners seeking to respond effectively to an increasingly diverse client population. Specific attention is given to the development of a working definition of a culturally responsive social service agency. This definition is used to assess a case study of a public sector county social service agency that has a substantial history in promoting culturally responsive practices. The implications for future management practices are noted in the conclusion. Julian Chun-Chung Chow, PhD, is an Associate Professor affiliated with the School of Social Welfare, University of California, Berkeley. Michael J. Austin, PhD, is a Professor affiliated with the School of Social Welfare, University of California, Berkeley. The authors want to acknowledge the significant roles played by Zonia Sandoval Waldon, MSW, and Gil Villagran, MSW, in the development of a culturally responsive organization prior to their recent retirements in 2004 from the Santa Clara County Social Service Agency.

Social services delivery, organizations, cultural responsiveness, ethnicity INTRODUCTION Since the War on Poverty in the 1960s, social service organizations have been searching for ways to become responsive to the cultural diversity of their client populations. Beginning in the 1970s, concerted attention was given to helping agency staff members become more culturally aware (Green, 1999), more culturally knowledgeable (Cox & Ephross, 1998; Davis & Proctor, 1989; Harrison & Wodarski, 1992), and recently more culturally competent (Devore & Schlesinger, 1999; Fong & Furuto, 2001; Leigh, 1998; Lum, 2003).

The Culture Books du r ing t he f ir s t se a son of her cr i t i- cally acclaimed HBO series, Girls, Lena Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath, high on opium, tells her parents, “I don’t want to freak you out, but I think that I may be the voice of my generation—or at least a voice of a generation.” The line made waves as people conflated the fictional character with her creator, perhaps not wrongly. How dare a young woman make such a bold claim? All too often our culture tells young women their voices don’t matter or deserve to be heard. In her debut essay collection, Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s “Learned,” Dunham demon- strates her 28-year-old voice’s admirable range. While some celebrity essay col- lections and memoirs are lackluster, even embarrassing to read, Not That Kind of Girl suffers few missteps. Dunham’s cinematic flair translates to the page with vigor and clarity—not unlike the late Nora Ephron, to whom she is often compared and to whom the book is dedicated (along with Dunham’s family and her boyfriend Jack Antonoff of the indie-rock band fun.). Instead of tossing pithy, pseudo-motivational observations at the reader, Dunham has crafted warm, intelligent writing that is both deeply personal and engaging, clustered in five topical sections: “Love & Sex,” “Body,” “Friendship,” “Work” and “Big Picture.” Each of the 29 pieces—essays mixed with lists, like “18 Unlikely Things I’ve Said Flirtatiously”—is confident and assured, sidestepping self-deprecation and instead offering intense self- examination. Dunham’s self-awareness can almost overwhelm with truthiness, as in “Barry,” her glancing, tragicomic account of being raped by a “mustachioed campus Republican” who, among other nonconsensual acts, removes his condom without her permission or knowledge. “A sexual encounter that no one can classify properly” sounds precisely like a voice of her generation, one struggling to come to terms with rape culture. (And yet, “I feel like there are fifty ways it’s my fault . . . But I also know that at no moment did I consent to being handled that way” sounds like a voice of every generation of women.) Unlike Hannah Horvath, Dunham in her self-awareness does not come across as self-obsessed. When she is absurd, she acknowledges that absurdity. “13 Things I’ve Learned Are Not Okay to Say to Friends” is among the most drolly enlightened of the lists, made up of osten- sible real-life Dunham quotes like “No, please don’t apologize. If I had your moth- er I’d be a nightmare, too” and “There’s nothing about you in my book.” She reveals her vulnerabilities in a deadpan manner, showing us how she loves and has been loved, how she has wronged and been wronged. But it’s not all laughing around the hard stuff. At the end of “Barry” comes a teary phone call with Antonoff, in which she tells him what happened with the hipster rapist; here the narrative tur.

The CSI effect at university: forensic science students’ television viewing and perceptions of ethical issues Roslyn Weavera*, Yenna Salamonsona, Jane Kocha,b and Glenn Porterc aUniversity of Western Sydney, Family and Community Health Research Group; bUniversity of Technology, Sydney, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health; cUniversity of Western Sydney, School of Science and Health (Received 3 January 2012; final version received 3 May 2012) Although the so-called ‘CSI effect’ has received attention in the literature for the influence of forensic science television on jurors’ expectations of evidence admitted into trials, less research explores the influence of such television programs on university students enrolled in forensic science degrees. This paper describes the quantitative and qualitative results of a study of forensic science students regarding the forensic-related television programs they watch, such as CSI, Bones and Dexter. We asked students to share their impressions of the accuracy, ethics, professionalism and role models in the programs. The results show that forensic science students are almost universally disparaging about the realism of these programs and have mixed impressions of how the programs portray forensic science professionalism and ethics. Most students believed that the programs gave an unrealistic representation of the profession to the public; yet students were also able to identify positive elements for recruitment and education purposes. Keywords: forensic science; CSI effect; students; television; education; Australia Introduction Popular media have suggested that crime science television programs such as CSI may influence how lay jurors consider forensic evidence during criminal trials1–8. This influence has been described as the CSI effect and named after the popular television drama. It is suggested that jurors confuse the capacity of forensic evidence with the fictional idealisation of forensic evidence as portrayed on the television program2. Goodman-Delahunty and Verbrugge4 suggest that, despite the popular media claims, there is little objective evidence to support the notion that crime scene dramas such as CSI have a negative impact on jury verdicts. Wise5 indicated that there are two issues relating to the ‘CSI effect’ proposition, with each affecting either the prosecution or defence position; (i) the jurors held an inflated value of the forensic evidence producing guilty verdicts2–5,9, or (ii) in the absence of forensic evidence or when the evidence failed to reach the juries’ idealised expectations the juries would acquit2–3,5. Evidence of the influence of the CSI effect, as claimed in the popular media, has been mixed1–9.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a slow time during the Thanksgiving festival last year. At the time, my aunt decided that since we would not be inviting family from all over, as it was tradition, we would make it into a neighborhood Thanksgiving. She invited their neighbors over; I bumped into one of their new neighbors on the block, Mr. Landry, in the kitchen while he conversed with my aunt. As I walked into the kitchen, he went silent with no eye contact, and as soon as I left the kitchen, he got back to the conversation. I overheard part of the conversation where Mr. Landry talked about Mrs. Boudreaux’s hospitalization while describing how she looked to be reeling in pain when he visited her. By that snippet of the conversation, I assumed that Mr. Landry was a gossip, only to find out later that he was a doctor in the hospital where Mrs. Boudreaux was. He was pleading with us to visit Mrs. Boudreaux and offer blood donations for her upcoming surgery. I was mortified, having learned this later. According to the social psychology theory, individuals make first impressions based on traits, beliefs, and non-verbal cues from people one meets. Aronson et al. (2019) state that one’s traits from birth or parenting help us interpret social cues. Some of these traits include openness and being sociable is part of these traits show individuals to be social. Flynn (2005) agrees with this, reiterating that non-verbal behavior adds to first impressions on individuals. Therefore, Mr. Landry’s silence when I walked into the room and continually talking about someone else's condition without their consent triggered my perception that he was a gossip. Increasing my reason for the first impression of Mr. Landry was his lack of eye contact on top of his silence when I walked into the kitchen (Flynn, 2005). As an adaptive response, Mr. Landry went silent because of his privileged status of revealing information to children that would later get conveyed in the proper channels. Conclusively, Mr. Landry went silent and did not keep eye contact to remain confidential when I walked into the kitchen. However, my perception of this is that he was a gossip, furthering my first impression that was later in the day debunked when adequately explained. References: Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Akert, R.

The Criminal Justice System Consists of three agencies: 1. Law Enforcement (Police) 2. Courts 3. Corrections Criminal justice systems include several major subsystems, composed of one or more public institutions and their staffs: police and other law enforcement agencies;trial and appellate courts; prosecution and public defender offices; probation and parole agencies; custodial institutions (jails, prisons, reformatories, half-way houses, etc.); and departments of corrections (responsible for some or all probation, parole, and custodial functions). The Criminal Justice components create a system when they apply their functions together looking for the same objective; to enforce justice into society. Even when the components of the Criminal Justice system are working to accomplish the same objective they work in different fields and the job of each component is very different from the others.

The DecisionAs Heidi leaned back and gazed outside at the rain.docx

1. The Decision As Heidi leaned back and gazed outside at the rain soaked plaza, she considered the pros and cons to the proposal. The proposal carried several risks that she could not fully quantify . First, there was the ability of Levi Strauss to implement new technologies. Second, the cost savings in the proposal were based on CCTC’s estimates in their proposal for the program. Would the program still be successful if the costs turned out to be very different ? Third , market research indicated that women were not satisfied about fit. How much would they be willing to pay for a better fit ? On another level , she wondered about the competition. If the program were successful, would their low cost rivals dive into this market as well ? Did Levi’s have any advantage here ? What if they did not move forward with the proposal ? Would one of their rivals partner with CCTC ?
