... This course is an introduction to the range of human diversity through an exploration of the peoples of the world. We will cover the basic concepts, theories, and methods that anthropologists use to study variations in cultural norms and social practices, economic systems and rules of law, social organization and patterns of inequality, identity and worldview, and patterns of social and cultural change. Focusing on the culture concept and the method of ethnography, we begin with the historical foundations of anthropology and then follow its attempts to understand contemporary human cultures. Comparative analysis of multiple ethnographic case studies and major theoretical approaches illuminates the range of human diversity, the forces that shape cultures, and how people adapt to a rapidly changing modern world. The central objectives of this course are to develop your intellectual skills, your cross-cultural fluency, and your sense of civic and moral engagement in global society. I hope that this course inspires many of you to become anthropology majors or minors, and grants each of you an anthropological perspective on your own life. REQUIREMENTS This is an intensive course that requires full participation from every student. You must attend all lectures, study all the assigned materials before the class for which they are listed, complete required assignments, actively participate in lecture, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of readings, videos, in-class...

...every day to drugs such as cocaine, alcohol, heroin and meth. While Marijuana isn’t technically addictive, it is still the number one used illegal drug in the United States. Marijuana has become legal in some areas in the United States. “Single adults were more likely to report marijuana and cocaine abuse”. These drugs literally destroy lives. People lose their jobs, families and homes because of drug abuse. It is a problem that has been and will be relevant for decades and decades. The definition of a drug is a “substance that alters the user’s ability to function”(Powerpoint). When your ability to function is affected, it affects your everyday life. This is why people lose their jobs and homes. People will spend all their money just get their fix. Cocaine is one of the more expensive drugs. It is very common within the wealthier communities because it can be afforded. Studies show that Americans are four time more likely to abuse cocaine then the other countries in the world (cbsnews). It is also one the most addictive drugs after Alcohol. Its different names are coke, cocaine, dope and white. It can be snorted for a quicker, shorter high or it can be injected which will cause a longer lasting high. Many people begin using cocaine at social gatherings and parties. Then their desire to feel the same high becomes greater and greater. When addicts can’t get the drug in their system they are affected physically and psychologically.

Reine Kolle (瑞丽) Student ID: 1120150914 | Beyoncé’s risk investment | AbstractA case study which taps into the high risk investment the American singer Beyoncé took to produce her fifth album in a non-traditional way. Reine Kolle (瑞丽) Student ID: 1120150914 | Beyoncé’s Risky Investment Overview As part of our curriculum education we were asked to find a short case study that we thought to be of an interest in investments. Thus, this paper will discuss concisely the Harvard case study; written by Anita Elberse and Stacie Smith (2014), on the American singer Beyoncé and how much of a business gamble her project really was. The reason I find this case to be of interest is because of its depth into risky decision making and the uncertainty of expected results in investment. The approach of this case study is an analytical approach. This approach does not identify problems but it examines the case in order to understand what has happened and why. Key word: risk-return tradeoff Case study In December 2013, music superstar Beyoncé is about to surprise her fans with the release of her self-titled album. The team at her company Parkwood Entertainment, which general manager Lee Anne Callahan-Longo described as "a management, music, and production company that is owned and at the highest...

...Sample APA Annotated Bibliography With Instructions APA means American Psychological Association and often refers to the style of documentation adopted by that professional group, a style that features the date of publication more prominently than other forms of documentation. See the Hodges’ Harbrace Handbook (pp. 652-679***) and the PowerPoint presentation on APA under the Research Writing Resources in the Web Resources section of the ENC 1135 on-line syllabus for details. Since annotated means enhanced or clarified with notes, an annotated bibliography is a list of sources presented with comments on content and usefulness to the research under way. The list must be presented in alphabetical order by the author’s last name or the first word of the title (for a resource that shows no author), regardless of form of the source; that is book, journal, Internet page, and CD-ROM—with author(s) or without Sources—all appear together on one list. Do not number the entries on the References list. The forms for the electronic resources appear accurately and carefully on the Learning Resources pages of the IRCC site, or you may pick up the printed “Documenting Electronic Resources APA STYLE” at the Ft. Pierce campus library and at the sites. Carefully note that the title of an APA bibliography is “References.” All items on the sample list below are pure fiction, as are all comments; they are offered to provide example of proper form.

Yin; he is renowned for his work in this area. Yin (2009) explains that this empirical inquiry facilitates exploration of a contemporary phenomenon in depth within its real-life context using a variety of data sources. He instructs that this research design should be considered when: (a) the focus of the study is to answer “how” and “why” questions; (b) you cannot manipulate the behavior of those involved in the study; (c) you want to cover contextual conditions because you believe they are relevant to the phenomenon under study; or (d) the boundaries...

It had 700 employees in the organization and used to provide creditable employee benefits, such as above market rate salaries, job securities and bonuses regardless of the hotel performance during the year. Based on those advantages, The Regency Grand hotel became one of the most prestigious hotels in Bangkok. The hotel used to be very profitable and all the employees have always followed the orders and instructions from senior management layer clearly and carried them out conscientiously and carefully. However, the organization’s previous cultural made employees lack innovation and creativity.
