Supply chain security programs focus on the potential risks related to an organization’s suppliers of goods and services, such as attackers trying to gain access to data and other assets. Organizations must therefore adapt their security procedures, including employees, processes, technology, vendors, partners, and even customers.

Imagine you are tasked with drafting a supply chain security policy. How would you go about doing this? Who else might you involve to assist with developing the policy? What factors would you need to take into account, and what things might you include in the policy? Explain your rationale.

In the second part of your paper, discuss major ethical issues that might arise when dealing with third-party vendors and suppliers. Would these also be addressed in the policy, or are there other ways these issues might be addressed?

Use the two information security policy examples (Princeton University and Trinity University) from the Study Materials section and the other related readings to guide you in this activity. (Links Below)

Suggestions for Structuring Your Interview
While every interview requires a somewhat different structure, certain principles and techniques are applicable to all. Each interviewing schedule should have the following three major parts: (1) the opening; (2) the body; (3) the closing.
The opening should always make the respondent/interviewee feel welcomed and relaxed. In addition, the opening should clearly indicate the objectives of the interview and make it clear what topic areas will be addressed. Finally, the opening should indicate the expected length of the interview.
The body of the interview schedule always lists the topics to be covered and potential questions. The number of questions and the exact wording of the questions depends on the type of interview schedule used. The interview may be nonscheduled with only the topics and subtopics listed. A nonscheduled interview generally leaves out potential probing questions to allow the interviewer to adapt to the interaction that unfolds. The nonscheduled interview, however, requires a highly skilled interviewer, provides no means of recording answers and presents problems in controlling the time factor. Beginning interviewers often rely on a moderately scheduled interview that contains major questions and possible probing questions under each. This schedule still allows some freedom to probe into answers and adapt to the situation. In addition, this type of schedule aids in recording answers and is easier to conduct. We will be using the moderately scheduled interview format for our assignment.
The closing should maintain the tone set throughout the interview and should be brief but not abrupt. Interviewers should summarize the main issues discussed during the interview, discuss the next course of action to be taken, and thank the respondent for his or her time.
The following template is to be used as a guideline to save you some time in preparing your own interview schedule. Please write your own questions. Your opening and closing can be very similar to the ones here, however, I would like you to tailor the opening and closing to your own needs, personality, and interviewee. Please use adequate space to record responses after each question or arrange to audio record the interview. If you have any questions please email me.

Template for Interview Schedule
(Please tailor to your selected topic and person you are interviewing.)
Opening: (Establish Rapport) [shake hands, embrace or whatever other means of greeting is appropriate to your relationship]
Purpose: I would like to ask you some questions about your experience with <selected topic from list: family dynamics, religion, education, politics, health, the labor market, mass media, and the arts>.
Transition: Let me begin by asking you some questions about <selected topic from list: family dynamics, religion, education, politics, health, the labor market, mass media, and the arts>.
Body (tailor to your selected topic and ask probing questions as needed):
1. Please describe a particular experience with <selected topic from list: family dynamics, religion, education, politics, health, the labor market, mass media, and the arts>. It can be positive or negative, as long as you see it as important to you and your identity as a Latina.
2. Why did you pick this particular experience?
3. How do you see yourself today, in terms of this experience?

4. What does your experience and being Latina mean to you?

5. Please describe how you fit into Latina and American culture respectively, especially related to this experience?

6. To what extent do you consider yourself active in both the Latina and American cultures? Please provide examples, especially related to this experience.

7. What, if anything, would you change about your experience if you could?

8. What would you want to share with others (perhaps children close to you) about the experience, its meaning, and how to handle it?

Closing:
(Summarize some of the main things you learned from the interview.)
(Maintain Rapport) I appreciate the time you took for this interview. Is there anything else you think would be helpful for me to know so that I can successfully share your experience?

Weekly discussion prompts will be provided at the beginning of each week. Please review and re-review the questions as you go through the weekly readings. This will ensure that you are contextualizing your response as you reflect upon the material. It is expected that each student provides at least one critical short-response per week (at least three-four sentences). You may either reply directly to the prompt itself, or to questions or statements posted by other students. Importantly, there is no RIGHT answer. The sole purpose of the discussion board is to provide a space for us to openly discuss the challenges of human rights in a well-educated manner.

Pick One question!
1. In what way do international human rights norms impact domestic politics? Or do they fail to do so? In other words, why ratify? Provide examples to support your argument.

2. Similar to question one, drawing upon Hafner-Burton, please provide examples of how governments have ratified human rights law as a matter of window dressing.

3. According to Roth, how was President Obama to reverse the Bush Doctrine?

4. According to the short article regarding Swiss human rights protection, why was the state (Switzerland) chastised for not meeting standards put into place by the Convention?

Paper should include:
-a very BREIF explanation on Freudian theory as explained in the textbook is fine. This should be brief because the paper is NOT about Freudian theory, rather it’s about its effect on Western art.

-a brief explanation on how Freudian theory effected art with brief examples. This info will be found in the text. In other words how did the principles and ideas of Freud effect artists and their paintings, sculptures, architecture and literature.

-you should then address how Freudian theory influenced philosopher Carl Jung and literary critic Joseph Campbell and how they changed the way we look at and analyze myth and at literature. This info would be found in the supplemental material in our Unit.

-you should then apply what Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell say about myth and literature to analyze The Woman Who Rode Away. The myth and it’s symbolism is provided in the supplemental material from the Unit. And the story is provided as well. Use the module that discusses the myth to help you analyze the story. You are essentially looking for the Dionysos myth inside of The Women Who Rode Away. The pattern is there, it is al through symbolism though of course…

-you should then conclude by summing up how the Freudian had a profound effect on Western world of art, influencing artists, philosophers, the way we paint, the way we write and the very way that we look at and analyze literature…or something to this effect…

-Of course will need to include several examples and several direct quotes from the text. All of the info you need can be found in the textbook and in the supplemental material from the Unit.

I will send you pictures of the book pages, and information from the units/modules that will help write the essay.

Mid-Term Instructions

Read the following instructions for your Mid-Term Exam. When you have written your essay, upload it to the Assignment page titled “Mid-Term Exam.”

Prompt:

• Discuss the Freudian effect on the Western world and specifically literature, using D. H. Lawrence’s The Woman Who Rode Away as your example of a story rooted in Freudian teachings.

The following questions may help you begin your analytical work of the text. Your paper should not simply be short answers to these questions; rather it needs to be a formal essay with direct quotes from the text. But you should address these questions. Organize your essay around these main points:

• How do the theories of Freud and Carl Jung effect Western literature?
• According to Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, how can myth be used to analyze Western literature?
• How does D.H. Lawrence use the Dionysos myth as the foundation in his story: The Woman Who Rode away?
• Are any of these symbols present in the text and what do they imply?
  • Vegetation
  • Loss of Identity
  • Water
  • Woman
  • Intoxication
  • Trance-like state
  • Craze/madness
  • Objections to authority
• The Woman is on a journey to find her spiritual unconscious. How do we know that she has lost it?
• Where does Dionysos symbolically show up abruptly, disguised as something effeminate? Where does he symbolically show up abruptly with violence or lashing out?
• What passages indicate that Dionysos is present and inviting the Woman to embrace her unconscious self?
• Does the Woman get what she wants? She does meet her unconscious, but does she give in and embrace the spirit of Dionysos and embrace her unconscious self? Or does she deny it? Explain.
• Is it necessary for the woman to die at the end of this text? Could she have met her unconscious and yet still have gone back to her husband and children? Explain.
• What is the tone of this piece?
• Is it important for us to listen to our unconscious selves and try to incorporate its wants and dreams into our conscious, physical lives? Why or why not?

Writing guidelines:

PURPOSE: Your critical response involves analysis, evaluation, and critical thinking.  You will need to give specific examples from the text, course reading, and videos.

FORMAT: Your paper should be a Word Document, 3-5 pages in length, and double-spaced with one-inch margins.

PLAGIARISM:  To write with originality and depth, you must use your own voice and resist the urge to plagiarize. This assignment requires little to no outside research, and is meant to be pure analysis of the information by you alone. Feel free to quote from your text, course readings, course videos etc. Just be sure to cite properly. Copying from sparknotes.com or any of the college essay sites is easily detectable and takes away your chance to trust yourself and make observations about your analysis of the information.

STRUCTURE:  Make sure you include the basic information early in the opening of your paper: cultures you will be discussing; art you will discuss; tie that info to the overall Western world.  The body of your paper must include specific examples and direct quotes from the text. You should have a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.

3. GRADING STANDARDS FOR WRITING

Grades for writing in this course are determined by your adherence to guidelines, deadlines, and thoroughness of analysis, writing ability, mechanics, and clarity of logic. For all written assignments, the student should accomplish each of the following goals:

A:            Well organized (use of introduction, conclusion, paragraphs with a single main point, evidence from analysis, and transitions); sentences smooth and carefully crafted; virtually no errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar; words chosen with precision; language fresh, vivid, and concise; addresses all the specifics of the prompt.

B:            Well-organized, but paragraph structure sometimes disjointed; a few awkward passages and errors in mechanics; language sometimes general, may lack freshness or precision; no errors glaring or highly distracting; addresses most of the specifics of the prompt.

C:            Organized, but paragraphs often disunited or misplaced; shows logical plan but writing is wordy, general, imprecise, or trite; sentences awkward but meaning is clear; articulation fair, and volume just loud enough; errors in mechanics but not highly distracting; addresses some of the specifics of the prompt.

NC:         meaning not clear in many sentences due to poor construction; language muddled and unclear; errors in mechanics are distracting; does not address the specifics of the prompt.

PURPOSE:
For this assignment, you will write a short (3-5 page) Personal Narrative Essay. The purpose of this assignment is to begin working with general writing skills and to familiarize you with correct paper formatting.

MENTOR TEXTS:
“The Chase” by Annie Dillard

“Fourth of July” by Audrey Lorde

“Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris

OBJECTIVES:
Formulate and express information and ideas in a variety of written forms and rhetorical patterns, demonstrating a clear purpose, focus, thesis, organization, and consideration of the audience.

DESCRIPTION:
A Personal Narrative is a true story about an event in your life that changed or influenced you in some way. The essay will likely encapsulate only a short period of time (probably less than one day). While this essay will be written in your natural writing voice, the essay should be proofread for grammar and mechanics. You will need to include correctly formatted dialogue that advances the story in some way. It will be essential that your Personal Narrative include some sort of closing “reflection” that indicates how the event (or events) portrayed in the narrative influenced you. Your essay does not need to follow the same style or pattern of the mentor texts listed above; rather, you should think of the mentor texts as general references.

• How can a manager use the formal and informal networks in organizations to alleviate the resistance to change?

Read The Island at the Center of the World, Russell Shorto’s 2004 book on the Dutch origins of New York City. Shorto, an American, was granted Dutch knighthood for strengthening the relationship between the Netherlands and the United States five years after the publication of this text.
A major theme in the book is the role of character and motivation in colonization. How does the author characterize the major players in this historical saga? What are their major motivations, and how do these play out throughout the entire history? Consider how Shorto describes the site of the early colony. What types of spaces would these figures have inhabited in the new colony? Think about the wealth of historical details provided by the author as well as what you have learned in class about New Amsterdam.
Write a 4-5 page response to Shorto’s book addressing these questions and critiquing his methods. Remember to make reference to Shorto’s text in your paper, through footnotes or in-text citations.

Answer all 3 questions below.
NOTE: Rodeph Shalom in the name of a synagogue, it means “Pursuers of Peace,” it is not anyone’s name.
1. How did Rodeph Shalom change (in terms of its organization and structure) after most congregants moved away from the neighborhood?
2. How did Rodeph Shalom interact with the surrounding non-Jewish community? Did they try to convert their non-Jewish neighbors? What was their attitude toward racial difference?
3. Why was Rodeph Shalom tempted to leave North Philadelphia? Why did Rodeph Shalom choose to stay in the city? Was there more than one reason? How did staying in the city shape/affect how they saw themselves? Are you surprised they stayed (or that they are still here?)
