Discuss three cultural traditions and/or expectations African women experience

Read first chapter of The Emancipation of Women, “Traditional Practices” 

Africa is a huge continent so we cannot make any generalizations about all women in Africa — if we went to the continent we would find modern cities, remote and impoverished villages and everything in between those two extremes. The reading provided for this module is by Dr. Florence Abena Dolphyne, a linguist from Ghana who gives a broad outline in this chapter of some of the cultural traditions and expectations for many parts of Africa. Her book was first published in 1991 and has been updated several times — the version you are reading is from 2008. While there have been a few changes in select areas of Africa, the information she provides is still very much in place in most of the continent. Therefore, you should plan on writing in present tense rather than past tense.

Prompt:

Discuss three cultural traditions and/or expectations African women experience, as outlined by Dr. Dolphyne. What impact do each of these three have on how women live or options they may want? For example, if the expectation is that women will marry young and have large families, are they encouraged or not to also get an education?

Provide a brief history of the sex offender notification/registration in the United States

Provide a brief history of the sex offender notification/registration in the United States and explain the specific sex offender registration laws in your state (or a state that you are curious about). Review the video titled, “The Role of Probation and Parole” found in this module’s Learn section. Expound upon ways to effectively manage high-risk sex offenders in our communities; consider challenges they may experience when attempting to reintegrate back into society. From a Christian viewpoint, justify whether or not life-long sex offender registration is a just concept.

Should there be national reform of natural disaster insurers?

“Should there be national reform of natural disaster insurers? Support your argument using a common issue below.”

COMMON ISSUES:

When policyholders have disputes with their insurers, the insurance companies have a considerable advantage. Since the company’s lawyers wrote the policies they sell, they always contain loopholes that favor insurers and hurt policyholders. Some common issues include:

  • Flood Damage: Most insurance policies address flood losses in very narrow terms. For example, these policies usually exclude natural flood damage. So, insurance adjusters frequently conclude that flood damage was natural if there was heavy rain in the area, even if the evidence indicates otherwise.
  • Fire Damage: The collateral effects of a fire, mostly smoke and water, often cause more damage than the flames themselves. Once again, narrowly interpreted policy clauses often exclude such damage claims.
  • Storm Damage: Insurance companies notoriously look for the cheapest available fix. For example, adjusters often only approve roof patch jobs after a severe hailstorm when a new roof would be a much better solution.

Many insurance companies use events that affect hundreds or thousands of policyholders as an excuse to delay their investigations. The law does not allow this. Insurance companies must always live up to their legal and financial responsibilities.

When affected businesses filed interruption claims, insurance companies almost universally denied them. Depending on one’s perspective, these denials either kept insurance companies financially afloat during a difficult time or made the economic catastrophe even worse for small businesses. 

Distinguish between the concepts and skills needed for international and local management.

According to the requirements，Write a 1500 words essay 

Details of task: Students are asked to write a short reflective essay at the conclusion of Module 2. This essay should explore the key concepts covered in week 7-12 of the course and should consider the skills you have developed throughout the module that are relevant to managing in a global context. 

It is anticipated that the weekly learning insights completed for these weeks will provide useful material for this essay.  However, as this is a take home rather than in-class assignment it is expected that you will make use of evidence available in the literature to support your discussions. Students should reflect on the skills, resources, capabilities, thinking and learning styles and consider how they will prepare themselves for working in a management role, and potentially in a global context. 

This assignment should be a summary and analysis of your learning from the module and from the assignment, and your plan about how you will develop your personal competencies and capabilities.

Purpose of the task: The Reflective Essay gives students an opportunity to take stock of what they have learned from the module, in particular, to understand their own strengths and weaknesses. It helps students to focus on their own understanding and the skills required for the role of international manager.  

Learning outcomes – this assignment addresses the following course learning outcomes:

·  LO1. Distinguish between the concepts and skills needed for international and local management.

·  LO2. Establish the roles and functions of management within organisations.

  • Choose a Saudi Arabian organization that produces either a good or service and describe its capacity and demand concerns. 
  • Develop an equation to calculate its capacity. 
  • Define lead strategy, lag strategy, and match strategy, and recommend which your selected organization should pursue and why.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion questions and post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer.
