“Drinking Coffee Elsewhere” by ZZ Packer: Discuss what Packer explores about identity and belonging in her portrayal of Dina and her experiences at Yale. Your essay must have a thesis and clear supporting arguments. Analyze evidence from the text to support your claims.

Text: “Drinking Coffee Elsewhere” by ZZ Packer

One student argues the following about Packer’s story: “Packer’s main character is an unreliable narrator. As the psychologist suggests, she struggles with her own identity and isn’t honest with herself or anyone around her. Packer presents a character who is her own worst enemy, who suffers because she gets in her own way. Dina has serious internal personality flaws; she deflects responsibility by blaming everyone else. But Packer is really critiquing Dina and her problems, not the world around her.” In an organized essay, assess the validity of the student’s claim. Is this a story about a character with personality problems or is Packer critiquing the society that surrounds Dina? Your response may be nuanced. Either way, discuss what Packer explores about identity and belonging in her portrayal of Dina and her experiences at Yale. Your essay must have a thesis and clear supporting arguments. Analyze evidence from the text to support your claims.

In this Discussion, you will examine various analytical tools and how they are applied in a business. Analyze how an organization can use analytical tools to create value and develop a strategy to achieve and maintain competitive advantage.

For nearly every profession, there are sets of tools that are used to perform specific functions and accomplish certain tasks. Landscapers use shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows to renovate the laws and gardens outside of someone’s home. Recording studios use microphones, guitars, and audio software to create an album. Similarly, businesses can use analytical tools (such as SWOT analysis and environmental analysis) to achieve their goals. It is important to understand how the tools work and which ones would be best for different circumstances in order to achieve the best outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will examine various analytical tools and how they are applied in a business.

Post a 225- to 300-word (3- to 4-paragraph) analysis of how an organization can use analytical tools to create value and develop a strategy to achieve and maintain competitive advantage. In your analysis, address the following:

• What might the advantages be for a business of using SWOTT over SWOT analysis?
• Are there any other aspects of the environmental analysis that would be important to consider that are not covered by SWOTT?
• How can analytical tools be used to create value for an organization?
• Why is it important to do such an in-depth environmental analysis before creating a strategy?
• To support your response, be sure to reference at least one properly cited scholarly source.
