1. Recall key events, figures, and ideas of WWI and the interwar period in the United States. 2. Contextualize, criticize, defend, and debate significant ideas found in historical primary sources of
WWI and the interwar period in the United States.
Discussion Prompt World War I essentially determined the trajectory of twentieth-century world history, and the conflict had an important impact on American history. The historiography on WWI is immense, with historians (from all over the world) taking a number of different perspectives, contributing different arguments about the significance of the conflict, and examining a wide range of issues and topics.
This discussion asks you to identify and discuss at least one aspect about WWI that you believe historians should focus on. What do you think is the most important story about WWI? If you were writing a history about WWI, what would you write about? What is the experience that students of WWI absolutely need to know about? What is the story that needs to be told? What is most significant about WWI history? What is the “big take away”? Your answer can focus on the American, European, or global historical experience.
Your response to the question(s) needs to first identify in the introduction at least one part of WWI history that you find most interesting/significant—the big takeaway(s). Then the remaining page should explain why. The explanation needs incorporate historical evidence. The discussion should not be a “general history.”

Respond with answers to the questions using your critical thinking and moral reasoning skills. If you are asked to draw an illustrative figure such as a chart, graph, or diagram, please do so and upload your document/s with your responses. Refer to your uploaded document/s in your responses, e.g., Question 2: See attached MS PowerPoint presentation for my detailed flowchart of the Ice Cream making process.
QUESTIONS: 1 consider the pressures for small vs. Large inventories. Which situation does crayola seem to fit, and why?
2. Explain how both independent and dependent demand items are present at crayola.
3. The marker maker product recently experience and unexpected surge in demand and the supply chain agility was credited with helping to meet the crrisis.

Why do you think the film added this backstory for the Queen? Does it change the story in a significant way? Or does it add to and develop themes that already exist?
(On this one, you can give me some complete sentences, and some specific explanation, please.
Pablo Berger’s silent film Blancanieves may actually take even more liberties with the Snow White tale, and yet manages to preserve the basic plot structure, along with most of the classic motifs.
This Snow White, whose name is actually Carmen, lives in 1920s Spain; her father is a famous bullfighter, who teaches her to love the sport, but when he dies she is (as you would expect) left at the mercy of a wicked stepmother.
Again, as you watch the videos, keep in mind our guidelines for analyzing films, and consider how this scene might be in conversation with, or commenting on, the parallel scenes in the Disney film and/or Snow White and the Huntsman.
4. Now let’s put it all together…
What tropes or motifs define the Snow White story? Which do you see that show up across all 4 variants of the Snow White story we’ve examined so far? Are there any that seem to be missing?
Choose one example of a motif, and discuss whether it is present or not in each of the 4 versions of Snow White we’ve examined so far.
If it’s missing from any of the stories, why do you think it was left out? Does its absence fundamentally change the story?
If it’s there in every version of the story, does the way it is represented or incorporated into the plot shift or change? How so? Why do you think this change was made? How does it impact what the story communicates to its audience?
Be sure to watch the included video clips, which provide examples of different adaptations of the Snow White story, in addition to reading the text.
Consider the following questions to help you read carefully and critically:
Newitz’s article suggests several possible reasons for the recent resurgence of the Snow White tale in popular culture, and the popularity of some of the new adaptations. Do you agree or disagree with her reasoning, and why. If you disagree, consider offering your own reasons. Can you support your point with details from one or more versions of Snow White (either the versions we have examined for class, the versions Newitz mentions in her article, or other versions with which you are familiar)?
Newitz discusses the way our society views women and femininity, and how these new versions of the Snow White story may be influenced by or engaging with these views. Recall the claims Betty Friedan’s The Feminist Difference made about women’s social role in the 1950s. Based on the ideas discussed in the article, how do you think Newitz would say women’s roles — and our societal attitudes about men and women — have changed since the ’50s? How do you think they have changed (or not)?
???? Write a paragraph (100-300 words) responding to one of the questions above. Support your points with specific examples.
Shadow BankingShadow Banking takes on multiple forms, but is mainly non-commercial banks providing services similar to or the same as commercial banks. The growth in shadow banking has several causes. Increased regulations on commercial banks that limit their service offerings is one factor. Another is the ability of shadow banks to offer higher returns than commercial banks. Such institutions continue to grow because they are offering services consumers want, but can’t obtain from commercial banks.Shadow banking is generally lightly regulated or unregulated. However, since the 2007 financial crisis, western governments have examined shadow banking in more detail and have imposed a number of new regulation on their activities. Thus, it is incorrect to say the industry is unregulated unless you specify a particular country where that is true.Assignment:
