The prompt is: “Virtually all of Stanford’s undergraduates live on campus. Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate—and us—get to know you better.”

I want to tell the following about myself:

– I start by comforting my friend and saying something along the lines of :

Dear Future Roommate,

I want you to know that no matter what you tell me about yourself, I’ll always accept it. There’s no pressure in our friendship.

– Then I want to tell him that I get excited by the smallest things, such as trying a new restaurant or participating in a club activity.

Below are the three aims this research will analyse.

Explore the literature associated with the use of YouTube in children’s learning.

Investigate how teachers use and view YouTube as a teaching tool in a primary school

Evaluate how a sample of parents/carers feel about the use of YouTube as a teaching tool for their children during a pandemic

In terms of framing this there has been a massive increase in literature covering online learning in the pandemic, edutainment is another area I have looked into

The company to use for subsequent tasks is Apple Inc.

Part I: Company Background

Introduce the company by providing a brief description of the company and identifying the industry the company operates within. Provide a brief description of the company’s current situation. Focus on its main market and any other information that lays the foundation for Part II (for example, its history, recent changes in the company’s internal operations, macro environmental factors that influence, etc.).

Part II: The Competitive Advantage

In the first sentence, identify what you believe to be the competitive advantage of this company. Describe why you believe this to be a competitive advantage and discuss how the competitive advantage is sustainable. Justify your assessment by identifying, based on a resource-based view of the firm, a minimum of 1 key internal tangible and 1 intangible resources or capabilities that support the competitive advantage. Discuss how the unique combination of resources and capabilities of the company come together to create a sustainable competitive advantage.

Competitive Advantage

Simply defined, a competitive advantage is the single characteristic that sets a company apart from its rivals and gives the company a significant and long-term edge in its market.

Because competitive advantage is developed over time and is meant to be sustainable, a company’s competitive advantage does not change easily or often. The advantage rarely resides in a single product, a particular customer base, or market share. Eventually, product features can be copied and customer bases erode. Market share wanes. A company must have some internal capability to continually meet the competitive and business environment challenges it faces.

Companies rarely have more than one competitive advantage. When you define the competitive advantage of a company, you are looking for the one thing that makes the company unique among its competitors. That ‘thing’ may not be tangible. In fact, the most effective competitive advantages are likely to be intangible (like a unique configuration of talented, skilled employees). Adding a new product that wows the market initially but is easily copied by competitors is not a competitive advantage. However, the processes within a company, both tangible and intangible, that brings creative new products to the marketplace could be a competitive advantage. As you consider the competitive advantage of a company, you may identify several characteristics that make this company unique. If you can’t narrow the list to one characteristic, you probably have not really identified the true competitive advantage.

Sustainability of competitive advantage is absolutely required. Sustainability comes from internal resources and capabilities that support the competitive advantage. Once you’ve identified the internal resources and capabilities (using the Resource-Based view), you will use a process (called VRIS) to analyze the strength of these resources or capabilities that support the competitive advantage.

You are required to critically review a given methodology from a published journal article. This could be a qualitative or quantitative methodology. As part of your critique, you should consider:

– Strengths and weaknesses of the methodology

– Justification for specific approaches and measurements used over others.

– Possible alternative methodologies that could be used.

In discussing the research, you will also need to mention other related studies to

compare and contrast the methodology under scrutiny. A review of a methodology could

consider aspects related to validity, reliability, error and the consideration of confounding

variables and controls

Addresses Learning Outcomes

For this Assignment, watch the “Bradley” video.

In a 2- to 4-page paper, identify two opening exercises that you might recommend for a group of adolescent girls who were victims of human trafficking.

Describe the exercises in detail so that another social worker would be able to implement them.

Explain ways these exercises might be effective in creating a comfortable environment for these teenage girls.

Support your rationale with the literature. For example, what does the literature say about teenage girls who have been arrested for prostitution/human trafficking and who openly discuss their experiences?

How do these exercises promote group cohesion and encourage these teens to talk openly?

We have studied several mythological archetypes from around the world, in different cultural contexts and time periods. We have spent a significant amount of time in the course analyzing the archetypes of hero and trickster, in particular. You have the opportunity to create a character that fits the mythological archetype of either hero or trickster in this assignment and write that character’s explanatory myth. What archetype will you choose, either hero or trickster?

Use at least three examples from our assigned readings throughout the course to support and explain your choices. Include a Works Cited/References in either APA format.

Requirements:

First, create your archetypal character with a specific social identity by answering these questions. You can write out each question and put the answer below it.

What will be the physical elements of your character?

Is your archetypal character deity, demi-god, or human?

Is your character anthropomorphic (think of Loki, the shape-shifter)?

What are your character’s motivations?

What is the family dynamic for your character?

Does your character follow the Hero’s Journey or does your character play a part in the Hero’s Journey for someone else?

What is the social identity of your character?

In what culture is your character living?

Second, write an explanatory myth for your character. The myth should be 250-300 words. For the plot, you’ll need to identify an issue from our culture or another culture, either past or present, which gives your story and character some context. Your character should be struggling with an ethical dilemma, one that relates to a power struggle or societal inequality (based in our culture or another culture, either of the present or past.) For example, think of the tricksters from African-American mythology. Remember what our Module Notes in M5 stated:

Trickster tales flourished as a response to scarcity and hardship. Privation reflected the injustice of the slave holding system. In Africa, shortages were due to natural disasters and war. In North America, shortages came from slavery and those in power keeping the abundance for themselves. Looking at the relationship between the trickster and the dupe shows us a reflection of the power struggles and power inequality in the cultures that produced these tales. The stories do not favor either trickery or trust. Instead, the tales capture the most important ethical dilemmas of both the individual and society—for instance, slavery. These stories give the reader and listener moral distance to analyze situations with more objectivity and offer them space to evaluate challenging issues.

Once you have identified your ethical and cultural issue, put your character in a situation along the Hero’s Journey (some examples: passing the threshold, meeting the goddess, separating from the father figure). Write about his or her actions in that cultural situation and ethical dilemma which will reveal the personality and social identity of your character.

Third, answer the following question:

Why did you make the choices about your character that you did? Why did you draw from certain sources? Lastly, please include and explicitly state what cultural issue (from the past or the present) that you created your myth around. Your response to this question should be 100-150 words.
