For this assignment, you should write a 67 page paper (double-spaced). Your essay should make sustained reference to at least one of the following works:

The Jungle
Sorry to Bother You
North and South
Hard Times

If your paper focuses on one work in particular, you should make reference to at least one other work from the list. In addition, your paper should make reference to at least two pieces of secondary scholarly/critical/background reading. These may be drawn from the Norton editions, introductions, library books, scholarly articles, or intelligent critical commentary or other valuable material found online. At least one of the works you reference must be by a recognized scholar.

Your essay should address one or more of the following topics, or a combination. In any case, you should have a clear set of questions you are posing and a developing argument that includes readings of texts:
The relationship of the workplace to society more widely
The use of narrative perspective to comment upon the experience of characters and/or to connect characters with each other
The evaluation of strikes, labor organizing, or industrial unrest
The depiction of working people, as a mass or collective body
Comparisons and equivalences between humans and animals

Only use the Jungle

The evaluation of strikes, labor organizing, or industrial unrest
The depiction of working people, as a mass or collective body

Pick a topic from Week 1–8 and write a policy memo. Imagine you are working for a principal (e.g., the White House, a US Senate candidate, a CEO of a multi-national company) and you are asked to provide input on a current policy issue your principal is dealing with. The goal is to critically engage a major policy issue dealing with globalization. You can pick an actual policy reform from the past, a real reform idea currently being debated or a fictitious proposal of your own choosing. E.g., you could discuss whether the US should impose steel tariffs on Canada if the US should restrict FDI from China, how Europe should handle the refugee crisis, the 2019 EU Mercosur trade agreement, or how the OECD could limit international tax evasion. You should clearly describe the policy issue you are interested in, explain key conceptual terms, discuss the major debates and positions, and provide a reasoned recommendation. Throughout the memo, please reference relevant literature (e.g., academic articles and books, policy white papers, newspaper articles, government reports). You can draw on the assigned and supplementary readings from the syllabus but I expect you to go beyond and find your own material.

The memo will be graded with the following criteria in mind:

1. Did you provide key background information about the policy issue and explain it clearly?

2. Did your discussion of the issue engage relevant theoretical and empirical debates we covered in class?

3. Did you offer a reasoned conclusion?

4. Did you cite proper references and bring in additional literature?

The memo should be at most six pages long (not including the reference list at the end). Please format your memo in 12pt-font, with 1.5 spacing, 1-inch margins, and references formatted in APSA-style (https://www.macalester.edu/las/wp-content/uploads/sites/41/2012/09/APSAStyleGuide.pdf). The memo is due no later than midnight, Oct 13th. Late submissions will only receive 50% of the credit. Prepare accordingly. Please submit your response paper via the Canvas dropbox. The memo will help you to get more out of the readings and lectures.

Public administration is an essential link between citizens and governments. With the rapid pace of globalization, the public sector is under even greater pressure to increase its capacity to deal with the new challenges and opportunities that globalization presents. The relationship between globalization and governance is multidimensional. States/countries with high levels of integration with the rest of the world tend to have better governance outcomes on the whole. Of course, the quality of governance can be directly related to the social and economic integration between states. The gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, religion, natural resources, fractionalization, and government size largely decide the outcomes. Like globalization, governance can be conceived broadly or narrowly. How does globalization affect macroeconomic policymaking? In this assignment, you are expected to select one country and do the following: Discuss a significant issue/challenge arising from globalization that has taken place in the last 35 years. Critically evaluate the current policy or policies for the issue/challenge. Consider possible alternatives. Advocate a particular policy choice and provide a rationale. Write a 2-page paper in which you do the following: Provide an introduction and context for the issue/challenge. Summarize what the existing literature says about the selected issue/challenge and the selected countrys policies impacting the issue. Suggest two policy options that the selected countrys government could follow in order to resolve the issue/challenge. Recommend one policy action based on your analysis of a set of alternatives. Provide a rationale for your recommendation. Provide at least three reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed references (no more than one used previously), published within the last 5 years, that support the papers claims.

Only source from the reading provided, no additional sources needed.
For the communist Manifesto, only pages 2-3, 14-34, 36-54, need to be read

Both Martineau and Karl Marx had theories of i) how best to study society (where to look) ii) progress, and iii) equity.
Imagine you are out for coffee with Harriett Martineau and Karl Marx. After a few coffees, Marx throws out the following provocation: Capitalism is changing the material circumstances of our lives! If we are to have progress and equality, the workers need to revolt! We need to change class relations! After a long pause, Martineau takes a deep breath and responds to Marx.
What do you think she would say to Marx? What would Marx say back to her? What might they agree or disagree on?
Write a persuasive essay articulating how Martineau would respond to Marxs challenge, and how Marx would answer Martineau.

In your essay, be sure to:
1) briefly explain Marx and Martineaus beliefs about how society will have progress and equality,

2) make an argument, grounded in her writings (and lecture material), about how Martineau would respond to Marxs arguments,

3) make an argument, grounded in his writings, about how Marx would reply to Martineaus points.

An excellent answer offers a brief summary of the authors goals, discusses similarities and differences between the authors — shows thoughtfulness in how the authors fit together, and/or where they do not. An excellent paper uses the original readings as evidence. An excellent paper might discuss why these differences matter, why they exist in the first place, or why they are significant sociologically. An excellent answer may link the authors together or ideas from previous weeks to discuss how the ideas are related, and why this matters. Concepts are clearly defined, linked where appropriate. Demonstrates solid understanding of the major themes from the class, using readings and lectures to engage the comparison.

Here is the video linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4JOjcDFtBE&feature=youtu.be The above video shows the Challenger disaster. This week you will be asked to make a decision using the information presented. Consider the decision that NASA had to make and what ultimately lead to the disaster and loss of several lives. How did NASA handle this situation? What decision-making method did they use?

This incident and the decisions that led up to the disaster are very well documented. (We’ll give you a hint–look for info on the O ring.) You need to look for information about the decision-making that took place with the Challenger and write a paper that uses evidence to argue whether the decision to launch was a good decision or a bad decision.

Remember, in hindsight with the loss of life and the damage to the space program, most agree the launch should not have happened. However, you’re looking at the situation from the information the decision makers had in advance of the incident and they were professionals who decided to go forward. Clearly they thought they were making a good decision. It’s very possible you may argue for launching in your paper and have great evidence.
For this assignment, you’re the one who has to decide launch or don’t launch. Although you get to make the call, you have to defend your decision to lots of important people. Create your presentation explaining why you are deciding what you’re deciding. The key here is to use evidence of why you are making your decision. Remember, nobody knew the craft would blow up, so if you say don’t launch, you need to explain why the lost money, publicity, and everything else would be worth it. If you argue for launching, explain why the risk is worthwhile.

It is strongly recommended that you use ProQuest as you research for this. A lot of articles about this decision will be found in databases related to technical communication rather than just business.

In defending your rationale to launch or not launch, you have three options to choose from (you will only choose one):

Write a paper of at least 600 words with two IWG citations
Create a text-heavy PowerPoint of at least 20 slides with two IWG citations
Create a graphic-heavy PowerPoint of at least 8 slides, with author notes (of at least 300 words) with two IWG citations

Select one of the three topics below for an essay of roughly 4 pages. Essays must be typewritten in correct English, double-spaced, and well organized. Penalties will be imposed for grammatical error, sloppy organization, or irrelevant ramblings.
