SUSTAINABLE GROWTH RATE Weatherford Industries Inc. has the following ratios: A0*/S0 =
1.6; L0*/S0 = 0.4; profit margin = 0.10; and retention ratio = 0.55, or 55%. Sales last year were
$100 million. Assuming that these ratios will remain constant, use the AFN equation to
determine the maximum growth rate (the sustainable growth rate) Weatherford can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds.

1- Discuss two reasons why many tribes and American Indian individuals are not in favor of self-identification as an American Indian. Do you agree with them? Why or why not?2- Reply: When individuals self-identify as Indigenous, it can cause many negative impacts for tribes. When someone finds out later on in life that they have native ancestry, they often have the ability to be claimed by a tribe. This is called ethnic switching. The real issue has to do with ethnic fraud in which individuals have no legal, cultural, or biological ties. In these instances, people claim to be indigenous so that they may receive benefits such as in higher education. This is a settler colonialist mindset.Self-identification can be distasteful because it threatens tribal sovereignty. Tribes have the right to determine who is a citizen through their own criteria. This is a very important ability that tribes have. Therefore, when people self-identify, they are doing so without verification from a tribe and are ignoring the authority of tribal governments. There are many instances of people committing ethnic fraud by self-identifying as indigenous and then go on to receive benefits that are not intended for them. This is why it is important for places such as universities to verify tribal membership to filter out people who lie about their identity.Another argument against self-identification is because it often leads to cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation occurs when aspects of a culture are taken by people who are not associated with that culture. This is often done in a stereotypical manner without much knowledge or respect and in the absence of permission. This is particularly offensive when people make a profit off of things such as art and music that are from a culture that is not theirs.I agree with these arguments against self-identification. Tribal sovereignty is very significant and should be respected. Cultural appropriation is very offensive and disrespectful and should not be tolerated.

You should respond to at least two of your classmates by Day 7. In your responses, analyze how Enlightenment principles encouraged the expansion of rights for specific groups (religious minorities, women, people of color, enslaved people) during the French Revolution. Choose two groups (religious minorities, women, people of color, enslaved people), and discuss one group in each of your responses to classmates. For example, you may discuss the rights of religious minorities in your first response to a classmate and the rights of enslaved people in your second response to a classmate. Each of your responses should contain at least 150 words. You should cite your sources in APA Style with both in-text citations and a reference list.a description of the principles of the EnlightenmentThe followers of the Enlightenment espoused the belief that society could be made better by reason and by applying the methodology the Scientific Revolution had brought with it (careful observation, deductive and inductive reasoning). The principles were founded on a movement to gain more freedom and autonomy for mankind (most often just men though) and progress away from a dark past mired in the supernatural, divine right, and traditional beliefs. It was a movement at odds with the frivolity of Rococo and led to works of wry satire, observation, and ones inspired by Classical works (Neoclassicism) in which mathematics played a role. Education, reason, rationality, and the pursuit of the betterment of society through the individual were central to its purpose.a list of three literary, political, or artistic works that demonstrate these principles and an assessment of how each of the three works reflects Enlightenment principlesEnglish philosopher John Locke’s book Of Political or Civil Society observed government at the end of the 17th century. It supported the widely given rights usually afforded to Englishmen to all adult men who owned property. English parliamentary rulings gave rights only to freeborn Englishmen before Lock’s push for more universal rights. The Enlightenment pushed free-thinking progressives like Locke to help shape a movement of more inclusive liberties in government that moved from Europe over to America where it helped inspire Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. His book supported the empirical method of guiding political reason and was “…a clearly reasoned basis for centuries of philosophic debate concerning the nature of knowledge” (Fiero, 2021, p. 301). The book and Locke’s writings reflected a call for more personal freedom, an end to absolute authority, and a call for reasonable discussion to end conflicts.The anti-traditional philosophes or French philosophers of this era who advocated for the advancement of mankind beyond dogmatic rituals put together an encyclopedia to hold their collected knowledge. Edited by Denis Diderot, The Analytical Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts, and Crafts was the biggest collection of “contemporary social, philosophic, artistic, scientific, and technological knowledge ever produced in the West” (Fiero, 2021, p. 304). It was an attempt to educate people and help society become more equipped to reason and use philosophy in their lives. As members of the Enlightenment and Age of Reason, the philosophes wanted to replace ignorance with empowering knowledge and spread literacy.Mary Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792 to fight against the ignorant attitudes of society and men in particular towards women. Instead of women being pushed to fit into the weak, docile, and under-educated roles of the past she advocated for their education and the strengthening of their minds and bodies so they would not merely be sexual objects but rational and competent partners who would better benefit society and be more rounded themselves. This reflects that the Enlightenment was about the push for reason and rationality, for wanting the eradication of ignorance and the progress of the individual. Wollstonecraft wanted those individuals to include women (Fiero, 2021, p. 305).ReferencesFiero, G. K. (2021). Landmarks in humanities (5th ed.).

The principles of Enlightenment were to, apply the methods learned from the scientific revolution to the problems of society (The Enlightenment and human right, 2019). This meant taking real life situations into account and using techniques such as reasoning rather than religion or traditions that had existed previously (cite article).ReferencesFiero, G. K. (2021).
