Humanities class assignment on mythology

For the first project, we will be conducting research on items from the August 2019 & September 2019 Open Commission meetings at the FCC. This will help us to begin preparing for our visit to the FCC and the open meeting we will attend in November.

In preparation for the visit, we will review the process that the FCC uses to develop and issue rules, also called regulations, from the authority given by Congress. Please read the following sections from the Rulemaking Process (Links to an external site.) from the FCC website:

What is Rulemaking
What is a Rule
What is the agency’s authority to issue legislative rules?
How does the agency identify the need for a rulemaking?
How does an agency initially determine the best solution to a problem?
What are the requirements for the rulemaking process?
How do I submit comments to the FCC on proposed rules?
How do I get access to NPRMs, final rules, or comments filed by others?
Next, please read Chapters two and three from the book The Federal Communications Commission: Front Line in the Culture and Regulation Wars, posted here Preview the documentand under the FCC project #1 module. This will give you a solid background on the makeup of the Commission and the policymaking bureaus; processes for rulemaking, and filing complaints and appeals; and the role of the public with the FCC.

Then read the excerpt from the conclusion of Americas Battle for Media Democracy by Victor PickardPreview the document, a piece that discusses and critiques the role and relationship between federal agencies and the people who work for them, and the ways that policies are implemented for various constituencies, including corporations and the public (also posted under the FCC project #1 module). This reading should be used to inform your discussion of some of the perspectives you may encounter in comments posted to the FCC site and outside sources you find regarding the item you research.

One week before each open meeting, the FCC publishes a notice for the public to read, called a sunshine notice, described under the What are the requirements for the rulemaking process? section in the Rulemaking Process (Links to an external site.) on the FCC website.

Please read the sunshine notice that was published at the end of July for the August 1, 2019 meetingPreview the document and the sunshine notice for the September 26, 2019 meetingPreview the document.

Prior to the meeting, the FCC also publishes drafts detailing what the commission is considering, which you can find here for the August meeting (Links to an external site.) and here for the September open meeting (Links to an external site.).

For the first project, you should choose one item from either the August or September open meeting. You will conduct research on the item in order to get a clear understanding of the issue that the FCC took up in a previous meeting.

You should review the

1. Public drafts for the item you select, which can be accessed from either the August (Links to an external site.) or September (Links to an external site.) meeting pages. For example, if you choose to research the The Uniendo a Puerto Rico Fund and Connect USVI Fund, a fund to rebuild communications networks in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands after they were devasted by hurricanes in September 2017, you would read the report and order, linked from the page.

2. Comments filed by various parties interested in the issue. To access the comments, go to the FCCs Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), which you can get to from the Access Now box on the FCC homepage (Links to an external site.).

ECFS

specify proceeding (optional)

To do this, in the Specify Proceeding (Optional) field (see screenshot above) and input the “Docket no.” (or number) which you can find under the document that is posted for the item. For example, if you are researching the The Uniendo a Puerto Rico Fund and Connect USVI Fund, you will find the Docket no. in the heading the public draft posted, in this case 18-143. You will find that there are various types of filings for the item, from comments, to complaints, to requests, to exparte notices (find a description of what this is here (Links to an external site.)). Please read at least 8 of the filings for the item you select. In your own words detail the positions from various constituencies who have an interest in the issue.

Who are they / what organization are they from?
What is their position on the issue under consideration? Do they agree with the FCCs position on the issue, why or why not?
Do they have any requests?
3. Finally, conduct research on the internet, using reputable news sites, such as Google Scholar (Links to an external site.), the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, the Wall Street Journal, etc. to look into the issue more broadly. If you are researching the re-building in Puerto Rico, you might search fcc puerto rico recovery, federal communications commission rural broadband, or even digital divide rural broadband. You should have 3 independent sources which discuss the issue from a detached perspective.

You will use your understanding of the issue to then write an 8-10 page paper on the issue and its importance for the FCC and the United States in general. As you begin to compile your research, please let me know if there are any concerns with this page length.

Papers must be typed in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. Please do not put extra space between paragraphs; instead please indent each new paragraph. Please include a bibliography or Works Cited page for your references and please make sure to use in-text citations in your works.

Acceptable formats for submission: Word or PDF. Please do not submit a .PAGES document, created on Mac computers. If you are using the Pages, please export your paper as a Word or PDF document prior to submitting.

Final drafts will be due Thursday, Oct. 24th.

You will be required to submit the first draft, 5 pages in length, on Monday, Oct. 14th.

The final assignment for the course is a Final Paper on two cases. The Final Paper should demonstrate understanding of the reading as well as the implications of new knowledge. The eight- to ten-page paper should integrate readings and course discussions into work and life experiences. It may include an explanation and examples from previous experiences as well as implications for future applications.

Read the case study at the end of Chapter 12 and the case study at the end of Chapter 13, and thoroughly answer all the following questions. Supplement your answers with scholarly research using the Ashford Online Library. Each case study should be addressed in four to five pages, resulting in a combined Final Paper of eight to ten pages.

Chapter 12 Case Study: The Realco Breadmaster

Develop a master production schedule for the breadmaker. What do the projected ending inventory and available-to-promise numbers look like? Has Realco overpromised? In your view, should Realco update either the forecast or the production numbers?
Comment on Jacks approach to order promising. What are the advantages? The disadvantages? How would formal master scheduling improve this process? What organizational changes would be required?
Following up on Question 2, which do you think is worse, refusing a customers order upfront because you dont have the units available or accepting the order and then failing to deliver? What are the implications for master scheduling?
Suppose Realco produces 20,000 breadmakers every week, rather than 40,000 every other week. According to the master schedule record, what impact would this have on average inventory levels?
Chapter 13 Case Study: Supply-Chain Challenges in Post-Earthquake Japan

What are some of the advantages of the supply chain used in the Japanese auto industry before the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami? What were some of its disadvantages?

Discussion 1
This week we’ll focus on women’s history from the colonial era through the mid-nineteenth century. Let’s begin in the colonial era.
What was life like for women in the British colonies prior to the revolutionary era?

Discussion 2
What was the cult of domesticity (or the cult of true womanhood)? What purposes did it serve in nineteenth-century American society?

Discussion 3
How did women help spur the labor movement in the first half of the nineteenth century?

Respond to this in own opinion (Paige)

There were many factors that resulted in a “push backwards” of women in society in the British colonies. Women’s position as childbearer’s as well as their physical characteristics made them a convenience to men who could use, exploit, and cherish someone who was at the same time a servant, sex slave, companion, and teacher of his children (103). The conditions under which settlers came to America created various situations for women. Women were imported as sex slaves, and started out as indentured servants when the British colonies were first being established and starting out (104). Even free white women who were not brought as servants or slaves were faced with struggles, as childbirth and sickness allowed only four of the eighteen women to survive the voyage to the colonies (106). A best-selling book called “Advice to a Daughter” published in London was widely read in the colonies and it read “You must first lay it down for a Foundation in general, that there in inequality in sexes, and that for the better Oeconomy of the world; the men, who were to be the law givers, had the larger share of reason bestow’d upon them; by which means your sex is better prepar’d for the compliance that is necessary for the performance of those duties which seem’d to be most properly assign’d to it..” (108). Some women rebelled against these ideas however only fourty percent of women were literate, compared to ninety percent of males being literate, which meant working-class women had no means of writing their grievances they felt at their subordination in society (111).
