As you compile your notes, the phone rings. “Hello?” “Hi. This is Michelle. I want to touch base with you about your presentation to the board next week. Do you have any questions about the upcoming meeting?” “Thanks for calling,” you say. “You have good timing. I was just reviewing my notes and working on my PowerPoint presentation. I think I’ve covered the areas we discussed at our last meeting. Do you have something else that you want me to include?” “Oh, good,” says Michelle. “Yes, I’d like you to share 3 or 4 goals for the marketing project, too. Make sure these goals are specific as possible. You might want to lead with the goals, but I’ll leave that up to you. Naturally you’ll need to do some research to determine the types of goals that are relevant for a new product project like this. Be as specific as you can when outlining realistic expectations. “Okay,” you say as you jot down more notes. “Anything else?” “Just be sure to include your thoughts about whether we should develop a product that can be marketed world-wide.

consider how sectarian divisions overlap or do not overlap with other factors like politics and culture.

Requirement: At least 500 wordsOne common misconception about Islam is that its sects are inherently stuck in violent tensions. Historically, there have been many tensions and clashes (see the Mottahedeh 2010 reading), but the sects have not been trapped in constant, unbroken violence. Sects like Shiism only took the shape that we know of today in recent centuries, as Black’s (2011) chapter indicates. Today, sectarian tensions are impossible to miss when studying the modern Middle East and its socio-political landscape. It is tempting to characterize these tensions as theologically motivated, but this depiction may be missing parts of the picture and uprooting the people involved from their context…After completing the readings, consider how sectarian divisions overlap or do not overlap with other factors like politics and culture. Can we understand sectarian divisions without looking at the political context, for example? Use examples to support your insights.References:Black, Antony. 2011.
