What was it like to be a Filipino student (whether an official pensionado or not) in the US in the 1920s-30s?

What was it like to be a Filipino student (whether an official pensionado or not) in the US in the 1920s-30s? Using their own newsletters as your evidence, you can refine this into a more specific question, then answer it. For example:

What was the experience of pinays (pay attention to who the authors are)?
How did Filipinos think they should behave? What does this advice say about them? Their assimilation?
How did some Filipinos justify colonialism?
How did some Filipinos argue for independence?
Who were their heroes? Who did they look up to?
What did they think of the U.S?
What did they consider fun?
These are just a few examples.

Process: Select one volume of the newsletters (usually equivalent to a school year). Read the articles to get an idea of what kind of things they cared about that year (note that Filipino students are not the only writers). You can build a paper on as few as three separate articles. Since the newsletters are their product, they are all primary sources. You can easily find secondary sources to provide some context for whatever your topic is.

Remember, a strong thesis is an arguable one. The evidence you provide supports your argument. Click HERE (Links to an external site.)and THERE (Links to an external site.) for guidance. https://clas.uiowa.edu/history/teaching-and-writing-center/guides/argumentation

How do you make decisions that are expected to generate income?

How do you make decisions that are expected to generate income?

At different stages of your life, you will evaluate investment options based on the expected cash flows that they are likely to produce a process that hopefully will help you to make informed decisions. Think about the various way you might invest money to generate income in the future, and how you will make these types of decisions. For this assignment, suppose that you have been given $10,000 with the requirement that you “invest” it in one of the 3 different options below. Research the expected return and associated risk for each of the following:

Pay down your student loan or credit card debt. Although this is not technically an investment, it is effectively the same as earning a “risk-free” rate of interest. Alternatively, you can keep the cash in a riskless (FDIC insured) bank account. Current rates are available on a number of different sites such as Bankrate.com.
Invest in any stock(s) of your choice. Research the company on Yahoo Finance or other financial site, and get statistics regarding the expected risk and return for this investment. Be very specific about why you selected this company.
Invest in a real estate rental property. Research property prices, rents, and expenses for residential income properties or get basic information from a property management site such as Mashvisor or Roofstock. Note that a “cap rate” or “cash-on-cash” return is like a dividend yield for a stock, and is calculated as net operating income (rental income less expenses) divided by the price.
There are no wrong answers, but you must justify your opinions using the concepts that you have learned in this course. Be sure to include all factors used in making your evaluations, and be specific about your conclusions. To receive full credit, your answers must be well thought out and well-written.

Answer ALL 4 questions below:

Before making any calculations, which option appeals to you the most?
What methods would you use to evaluate these options? Compare each option in terms of current yield, potential for appreciation, and estimate an approximate long-term total return.
Which option offers the best potential return given its level of risk? Which one would you choose given your level of risk aversion? Explain in detail.
What sort of capital investments do you think you might make in the future? What other investments (such as owning your own company or investing in a start-up) would you consider? Why? Are there any factors in addition to monetary gain that you would consider?

Briefly describe a situation in which you faced some kind of stressor.

Walter Cannon was one of the early pioneers in advancing the understanding of stress and the stress response within the body. Cannon actually coined the now familiar concept of “fight or flight.” He observed the behavior of animals in response to a perceived threat and noted that the animals either immediately prepared to attack (fight) or immediately prepared to escape (flight) (Cannon, 1932). Recent research has expanded upon Cannon’s original fight or flight response to stress, suggesting that humans might have a wider range of stress responses such as freezing, fleeing, fighting, or fainting (Bracha, 2004).

Briefly describe a situation in which you faced some kind of stressor. Make sure the example you choose is appropriate for sharing with your fellow classmates. The stressor could be something mild like receiving a parking ticket or making a public speech.
Then, focus your discussion on the following:

Identify the stress response category that best fits your reaction.
Was your reaction fight or flight, or did your response fall under a different category, such as freezing?
Discuss the ways that your response might have helped you in the stressful situation you described.
Discuss the ways that your response might have harmed you or hindered you in the stressful situation you described.

Relationships of trust between inmates and correctional officers are not uncommon. How could such a small violation of prison policy create any problems?

Description
Write a 1/2 to one page (150–275 words) response in which you answer the three questions that follow the case study below:
As a female correctional officer, you have been working at the same women’s prison for fifteen years.
The inmates call you Marge and respect you as being firm yet fair. You have made some mistakes during your career, but no one has ever questioned your intentions or integrity. Like anyone working in prison, you have found some inmates you like more than others. However, it is rare for you to find an
inmate with whom you cannot work with at all. In fact, you are dedicated to the point that you will often spend some of your own time participating with the female inmates in recreation, arts and crafts, and other cell-block activities.
There is one inmate you are particularly fond of. She is a young woman about nineteen years of age who is in on a drug offense. Lisa is a shy girl who comes from a broken home. She never had much of a family life; both of her parents had failed in previous marriages. Lisa’s drug problems had started in
high school when she got mixed up with the wrong crowd. She had felt accepted by the drug crowd, and life seemed easier to cope with while on drugs. Lisa was beginning to use hard drugs when she got busted. Because she was with a friend who was selling large quantities of drugs, her bust resulted in a trial and a two-year sentence.
While in prison, Lisa has come to you on several occasions with personal problems. Being a first-time offender, she has found prison life tough to adjust to. You and she have become good friends in a mutually trusting relationship. On this particular day, however, your relationship is being tested.
Lisa has asked you to mail a personal letter to a close friend who lives in her hometown. Since her friend is not a member of her family or her lawyer, his name is not on the approved mailing list. She knows your mailing the setter would violate institutional policy but says it is very important to her that
she contact her friend just this one time. You know that other correctional officers occasionally mail letters for inmates. You also realize that it would be relatively easy for you to mail this particular letter.
Still, it is a violation of policy.
If you do not mail the letter, your relationship with Lisa will more than likely deteriorate. If you do mail the letter, you may suffer unanticipated consequences. The decision is going to be a difficult one, and
you are going to have to make it. Answer the following:
Relationships of trust between inmates and correctional officers are not uncommon. How could such a small violation of prison policy create any problems?
What could the CO do to maintain the relationship and not violate the rules?
Is violating rules always an ethical transgression?

How has social media activism shaped the growth of the movement, and is it potential for change?

#Me Too Movement- Tarana Burke
Pertinent to the unit’s project, I chose to focus on the #Metoo social movement which emerged in 2006 but trended more from 2013 to 2018. The #Metoo movement was driven by the exposure of rampant sexual abuse incidences that had rocked different workspaces and ideally intended to break the silence and empower sexually assaulted victims through solidarity, empathy as well as the strength in numbers to publicize the rampant evil deeds, and showcase sexual assault to be a monster that still exists in the present-day workplace (Lee, 2018).
When breaking down the movement, the project will focus on Tarana Burke who was its founder (Tippett, 2018), with an aim of assessing the impact that she has had in the fight against sexual assault. Complimentary to this, the three issues that I will develop in the presentation are, origins of the #me too movement, how has social media activism shaped the growth of the movement, and is it potential for change? To begin with, the origins of the #me too movement will seek to ascertain the fundamental purpose of the social movement and its founding members/premise. Secondly, the social media activism element will seek to determine how social media has transformed the manner in which social activism is conducted in the 21st century, with an aim of identifying its outreach and impact. The final segment will assess if there is any tangible change with regards to sexual assault statistics that can be credited to the identified social movement.

What trade-offs is Paul trying to make?

Paul Lambert was in a difficult situation. When he started his current job 5 years ago, he understood clearly that he would be working on sensitive defense contracts for the government. In fact, his firm was a subcontractor for some major defense contractors. What he did not realize at the time— indeed, he only discovered this gradually over the past 2 years—was that the firm was overcharging. And it was not just a matter of a few dollars. In some cases, the government was overcharged by as much as a factor of 10.Three weeks ago, he inadvertently came across an internal accounting memo that documented one particularly flagrant violation. He quietly made a copy and locked it in his desk. At the time, he was amazed, then righteously indignant. He resolved to take the evidence immediately to the appropriate authorities. But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Finally, he called his brother-in-law, Jim Grillich. Jim worked for another defense-related firm and agreed to have lunch with Paul. After exchanging stories about their families and comments on recent sporting events, Paul laid his cards on the table. “Looks as though you could really make some waves,” Jim commented, after listening to Paul’s story. “I guess I could. But I just don’t know. If I blow the whistle, I’d feel like I’d have to resign. And then it would be tough to find another job. Nancy and I don’t have a lot of savings, you know.” The thought of dipping into their savings made Paul shake his head. “I just don’t know. ”The two men were silent for a long time. Then Paul continued, “To make matters worse, I really believe that the work that the company is doing, especially in the research labs, is important. It may have a substantial impact on our society over the next 20 years. The CEO is behind the research 100 percent, and I gather from the few comments I’ve overheard that he’s essentially funding the research by overcharging on the subcontracts. So if I call foul, the research program goes down the drain.” “I know what you mean.” Jim went on to recount a similar dilemma that he faced a few years before. “So what did you do?” “The papers are still in my desk. I always wanted to talk to someone about it. I even thought about calling you up, but I never did. After a while, it seemed like it was pretty easy just to leave the papers in there, locked up, safe and sound.”Questions1. What trade-offs is Paul trying to make? What appear to be his fundamental objectives?2. Suppose that Paul’s take-home pay is currently $5,000 per month. In talking to an employment company, he is told that it will probably take two months to find a similar job if he leaves his current one, and he had better expect 3 months if he wants a better job. In looking at his savings account of $25,000, he decides that he cannot justify leaving his job, even though this means keeping quiet about the overcharging incident. Can you say anything about an implicit trade-off rate between the fundamental objectives that you identified previously?3. Have you ever been in a situation in which it was difficult for you to decide whether to take an ethically appropriate action? Describe the situation. What made the decision difficult? What trade-offs did you have to make? What did you finally do?
