Please choose ONE of the following essays.

Choose an organization that has been in the news in the last 6 months and analyse the organization by attending to two of the ‘issues’ we have covered in the lectures. For example, you could approach your analysis from the perspective of culture, ethics, structure, power, politics, control, diversity, gender, resistance, leadership etc.

Important points:
Your essays must use contemporary literature/theory to support your analysis of the organization.
You can choose any organization you want – no marks for choosing the ‘right’ organization.
You need to give a brief overview of the organization but most of the essay should focus on the organizational issues emerging from your analysis of this organization from the perspective of two issues covered in the course. Essays unsupported by literature/theory will warrant pass marks only.

OR

Is the #MeToo movement relevant to organizations? Justify your answer.

Mandel moves between Shakespeare and comics, well-known works and self-published works. She writes, “Shakespeare was the third born to his parents, but the first to survive infancy. Four of his siblings died young. His son, Hamnet, died at eleven and left behind a twin. Plague closed the theaters again and again, death flickering over the landscape” (57).

How does the context in which Shakespeare’s work was produced relate to the setting of the novel and/or the post-apocalyptic genre in general? How do Shakespearean motifs relate to both Station Eleven the novel and the Station Eleven comic book? What is the significance of King Lear, and what are the major themes of the play? What rhetorical affects might these have in terms of purpose and message? You do not have to answer all of these questions. Choose a topic related to the questions above and write a sustained argument, with a thesis/claim, and support.

Your argument here should be at least 500 words and integrate and cite sources from the text, and outside research, for the necessary evidence.You should include at least one primary quote (from Station Eleven) and one secondary source quote (your own research).

Your essay to be on one of these two topics: you choose and let me know which one you are doing

1. An athlete who has managed to successfully integrate their faith into their athletic career. If you choose this essay, I’d like you to discuss the roots of this athlete’s faith, what they did to share their faith with others and how their faith helped them to overcome adversities in life or in sport. I’d also like to know if this particular athlete suffered any persecution or made sacrifices because of their faith. Figure out a way to integrate some of the things we have discussed in class into this essay – for example, how has this athlete demonstrated any of the Cardinal Virtues.

2. Has sports in America become a form of cult-like worship? As we discussed last night, many of the early theologians in the Church felt that sports and athletics had become inappropriate objects of worship. Do you think the same things has happened in our culture? There is no right or wrong answer here. I am most interested in the way you form and support your argument on this essay. Use this definition of a cult as the basis for your argument.
