Your progressHelp with Completion tick boxes
Introduction
In this module, we explored a number of broad forces that have significant influence on business, government, and society. In this assignment, you will focus on environmental issues and sustainable development as a growing force in business and society today. Decision makers integrating environmental and social issues and concerns with economic goals can face conflicting costs and benefits among these three elements of sustainable development.

In this assignment, you will examine some of the environmental, health and social costs and benefits associated with an economic development project. You will also examine one business or organization that is implementing sustainable development policies and initiatives.

Part A is a case study on the environmental, health, social, and economic impacts of the adoption of clean cookstoves in the developing world. Part B is a report examining a corporation or other organization that is transforming to more sustainable operations.

Part A
Read Discussion Case: Clean Cooking at the end of Chapter 9, and answer the following two questions.

Question 1: Describe the ways in which the widespread adoption of clean cookstoves will address the global environmental issues discussed in Chapter 9. (15 marks)

Question 2: Describe the ways in which the widespread adoption of clean cookstoves will address the issues of economic development and poverty discussed in Chapter 9. (15 marks)

Part B
Examine a corporation or other organization that is transforming to more sustainable operations. Analyze ways the organization is reacting to stakeholder influences and how the policies and initiatives of this organization, as well as technologies that they employ, are affecting stakeholders internally, externally, and globally. You should demonstrate your ability to incorporate and integrate your learning from all aspects of this module. Ensure that you include information from the course material, the readings, your journal, and your own research.

After selecting an organization, write a 2,500-word, double-spaced report containing the following:

Section 1. External forces or influences: Identify three external factors that you think have influenced the company’s shift to more environmentally and/or socially responsible business management practices. Describe the ways in which these external factors influenced management actions and/or decisions or helped to transform the company. Provide evidence to support your observations. (30 marks)

What types of communication/procedures were used during this incident? Provide examples on the information that was disseminated and how it aided in resolving the situation.
Length: 2-3 pages (excluding the cover page and the reference list).

Counseling theories

This is largely a “self” paper, thus no intense library research is required, and only one citation is necessary. The key resources needed are your own values, beliefs, opinions, and perceptions.
Apply these resources to write the following three sections:
1.Identify and explain your own values and beliefs regarding counseling-e.g., is it a constructive element in our lives and in society? How so (or how not)? What specific elements make it useful (or otherwise)? Expand and go beyond these questions toward explaining your own view of counseling in the “grand scheme” of human experience, in society, and in your own life.
2. Identify and briefly describe a theory/approach to counseling that “fits” your personal beliefs and values. Detail elements of your chosen theory that coincide with your beliefs; be specific when describing the fit of your beliefs and the elements of the theory.
3.Describe the benefits and the limitations you perceive in your chosen theory, as it fits or deviates from your beliefs. Be critical here (in a constructive, academic sense, not in a destructive way), and be incisive.

Expectations:
1.Self-disclosure: In a paper of this nature, some degree of revelation of personal information is expected. What is not expected or desired is specific or detailed information that would be uncomfortable for you to share, or might otherwise compromise your sense of integrity.
2.Grading: Your clarity of expression–Your understanding of a chosen theory/approach to counseling–Your willingness to identify, critically analyze, and assess the fit of your values and beliefs with your chosen theory.

The purpose of this paper is to facilitate exploration of those beliefs and how they fit a theory/approach to counseling.

Interview with a pregnant woman

Interview with a pregnant woman (or someone who has been pregnant in the past)

You will conduct two interviews and write a brief reflective analysis paper (3-5 pages) explaining observed differences and/or similarities with regards to prenatal development and childbirth. The objective of the assignment is for you to recognize the real-life embodiment of topics covered in class. By interviewing two different people, you will be able to evaluate how these ideas in the book translate into real-life in two different people’s lives.

Your job this week is to interview TWO people who are either currently pregnant, or who have been pregnant in the past. This cannot be a self-interview! You must find TWO OTHER people to interview. Ask both of them the following questions:

With the number of difficulties associated with being pregnant in society today, would you describe your experience of getting pregnant as pretty easy or quite difficult? Feel free to explain if you would like.
Describe your pregnancy. (Feel free to prompt the interviewee with ideas like… “how did you feel? How would you describe the feeling of the baby moving? Was it difficult for you? Any complications during pregnancy” – save these or follow-up with these if the person does not answer with much info).
Overall, what was the best part of pregnancy? Worst part?
Describe your experience with labor and delivery. (Again, feel free to prompt with more specific questions if they are having a hard time describing their experience).
Can you describe the emotion of delivering a child?
How did your partner respond to the birth of your child?
ADD your own question if you wish…
It is really key to ask both people similar questions so that you can then write your analysis of their responses. I recommend you create a Word document with all of your questions with enough space to write their responses. I would love to see some of their responses verbatim when appropriate. Be sure to get appropriate background information for your paper (see below).

Once you have completed your interviews you are ready to write the paper. The paper will include the following:

1. A short description of each of your participants. Please keep these descriptions anonymous and provide only general details about age, family status (i.e. oldest of 3 children, or married), first pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, and/or other background information (such as ethnicity, occupation, etc if it is relevant to your discussion).

2. Explain what types of responses YOU EXPECTED each person to make based on what you know about prenatal development and childbirth (e.g. What kind of answer would you expect?). (Using terms from the book or other resources would help here!)

3. Describe the actual responses of your interviewees. Analyze similarities and differences

in their responses, and explain why each person answered the question as they did based on what you know about either their pregnancy or what you know about pregnancy. (Using terms from the book or other resources would help here!)

4. Explain how the responses you obtained either changed or reinforced what you have learned about pregnancy and childbirth. What assumptions did you make about each pregnancy while you were interviewing them? How did those assumptions change after you interviewed them? Did the answers “fit” with what you have learned about development? (Using terms from the book or other resources would help here!)

RUBRIC:
Does your paper:

1. Demonstrate analysis and evaluation of each person based on your knowledge of prenatal development and childbirth? (15 pts)

2. Express both your expectations about each person’s responses and what you learned from

their actual responses? (5 pts)

3. Present your position in a logical, interrelated set of ideas that cover all sections described in the assignment and follow the rules of grammar, syntax, spelling, and quality writing? (5 pts)

SOCIAL ISSUES IN SONGS

SOCIAL ISSUES IN SONGS:
How Songs Mirror Our World
Music has a powerful social influence on society. It helps us remember the past,
grapple with current issues and trends, and look to a brighter tomorrow. Popular
music and lyrics are often focused on social and/or political issues related to the time
they were created. For example, The Rolling Stones 1969 hit, Gimme Shelter, is a
response to the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War. Clearly, the repetition
of the phrase, “Rape, murder! / It’s just a shot away / It’s just a shot away,” sheds
light on the negative climate surrounding our involvement in the Vietnam War. The
purpose of this assignment is to 1) select a song, 2) analyze it, and 3)make a claim as to
how the song accurately reflects social/political issues occurring at that period in time.
Guiding questions:
 What is this song in response to? What political and/or social issue is it addressing?
 What is the artist’s response to this social issue? What is he/she trying to say about it? Use evidence from
the song to show this.
 In what ways does the artist’s response to the social issue reflect society’s response as well?
 What was occurring in history at the time this song was written? In what ways could this song be a
commentary on the events occurring at that time?
How do I even begin this paper?
There are a number of ways you can begin this paper, but here are a few options. Please note that although these
are suggestions for how to begin your paper, you will want to include all of these components at some point in the
essay:
 Begin with a summary of the song (What is the song about? What do the lyrics mean?)
 Begin with a historical overview of the time period the song was written.
 Begin with an overview of the social/political issue the song is addressing.
 Begin with your connection to the song.
REQUIREMENTS
 You must provide historical context of the song.
 You must provide an explanation of the social issues the song addresses.
 You must analyze the song’s lyrics to show how it addresses the social issues prevalent.
 You must quote lines from the song to support/illustrate your analysis
 You must include at least two outside sources
 You must correctly cite your sources using MLA format.
 You must include a Works Cited page using MLA format.
 Length is 1000-1200 words.

Basic Concepts of International Communication
