...MBAC 6101 Summer 2016 MBAD CED 6101 Business and Community Development II Capitalist development creates winners and losers, both socially and geographically. The fundamental process of capitalism is the transfer of wealth created by particular people in particular places into the hands of other people in other places. Communities that are unable to Jorge Sousa, Ph.D Contact sousa@ualberta.ca capture the wealth that they create tend to decline. Sustainable economies require rooting wealth within communities. Businesses are the organizations in a society that create wealth. They can be used to exploit a region and extract a community’s wealth or they can be used to ground wealth in a community. The course will explore the relationship between business and the community. At the outcome students will have an appreciation for the challenges and issues community-based business surrounding institutions as well as an understanding of how those challenges are currently being met by existing community businesses. Learning Activities The classroom will follow a seminar model. This means that we are all responsible for the success of the classroom discussion. As well as focussing on set readings, the class will use case studies for shaping the seminar discussions. Being prepared for class is essential for productive discussion. While class activity may focus on the readings, the readings will...

...2012 Walking Game Culture A research conducted by: Mary Jane Francisco of L86 To be submitted to: Ms. Christina Rodriguez I. Introduction In modern times such as today, it is not unusual for people (of any age) to be seen with an electronic gaming device/game consoles such as cell phones, PSPs, computers, PlayStations etc. Humans over the years have been so inventive of ways to preoccupy themselves to avoid dull and null moments; thus the creation of video games. Kramer (2002) summarizes that these games are “objects which consist of components and rules and have certain criteria: rules, a goal, always changing course; chance; competition; common experience; equality; freedom; activity; diving into the world of the game; and no impact on reality”. “THE ORIGIN OF GAMES has been vaguely assigned to the inborn tendency of the mankind to amuse itself. Games have no geographical boundaries and game playing is found in all parts of the world whether it is in the underdeveloped areas of Africa or in a plush New York apartment penthouse.“(Spencer 1968, 3) According to researchers from Stanford school of medicine, a recent brain imaging study suggests that men have a higher percentage of activity in the *Mesocorticolimbic center (the region of the brain associated with rewards and addiction) compared to women when engaging in video games. These findings explain why males are more likely to be addicted to video games in comparison to female gamers....

...11. Understanding Development Theory In the Context of Social and Community Change by Michel Adjibodou[1] I. INTRODUCTION If you are fortunate enough to have walked the land and worked with the people of South Central Los Angeles in California, the mountains of Chiapas in Mexico, the plains of Tanga in Tanzania, the hills of Save in Benin, the streets of Hartford, Dorchester and Roxbury, the hills of Funyula in Western Kenya, one common characteristic you probably noticed is the resolve and resilience of those communities. Despite the daily challenges and stresses on their health, income, environment, land, and physical security, the residents are determined to improve their communities and create greater opportunities for their children. Many of us who chose to work in “development”, or who accidently ended up doing this work, must learn how to work in communities which face horrendous challenges. Engaging people in improving their own communities and, perhaps, working on broader issues demands that we develop great skills and knowledge, not to mention a certain attitude, some character, plenty of courage, and listening skills. Most of us simply behave like backpackers on our way to solve the world’s problems and save humanity from itself. Mistakes are made along the way, success stories abound, lives are damaged and rebuilt, hopes restored, and life goes on. Many practitioners working in communities around the world, and people who want to become...

...Police Killings of Unarmed Blacks Introduction According to Fox News, the recent Baltimore riots following the controversial arrest and death of Freddie Gray has left the city with an estimated $20 million in damages (FoxNews, May 28 2015). Besides these damages caused by Baltimore riots, the long-lasting economic impact in Baltimore is even larger than that of natural disasters since businesses see Baltimore as a less attractive place to invest. Additionally, earlier in 2014, after Michael Brown’s shooting and Eric Garner’s chokehold death, violent protests against police killings of unarmed blacks had already taken place across America in many cities. Those outbursts led to huge economic loss and were harmful for social stability. Freddie Gray, Michael Brown and Eric Garner were not the only black unarmed men killed by police. The Guardian’s statistics illustrates how disproportionately black Americans are killed by police: among the 102 unarmed victims killed by police this year, 32% were African Americans compared with 15% of white people (Swaine, Laughland and Lartey, June 1 2015). In other words, unarmed black Americans were more than twice as likely to be killed during encounters with police as white people. Consequently, those outbursts or protests are rooted in legitimate anger toward a justice system that has in many ways failed them. Not as simple as "thugs" and "criminals" Some public and leaders consider Gray’s death not serious enough...

Despite scattered exemptions, the trend of decreasing number of guests in Romanian Banat is evident as well, and all relevant statistics point out the common tourism development problem, both in SRB & ROM. Apart from the economic parameters, the problems in the “perception” sphere are the inadequate utilization of the cross-border Banat tourism resources and potentials, thus making its’ economy (mostly agriculture and industry focused) inflexible and non-competitive in the mid and long term. In this respect, the “Banat” as a tourism brand has yet to be defined and exploited. |Goal of the communication strategy ...

...Biology » Outlines Chapter 21 - The Genetic Basis of Development Chapter 21 The Genetic Basis of Development Lecture Outline Overview: From Single Cell to Multicellular Organism * The application of genetic analysis and DNA technology to the study of development has brought about a revolution in our understanding of how a complex multicellular organism develops from a single cell. * In 1995, Swiss researchers identified a gene that functions as a master switch to trigger the development of the eye in Drosophila. * A similar gene triggers eye development in mammals. * Developmental biologists are discovering remarkable similarities in the mechanisms that shape diverse organisms. * While geneticists were advancing from Mendel’s laws to an understanding of the molecular basis of inheritance, developmental biologists were focusing on embryology. * Embryology is the study of the stages of development leading from fertilized egg to fully formed organism. * In recent years, the concepts and tools of molecular genetics have reached a point where a real synthesis of genetics and developmental biology has been possible. * When the primary research goal is to understand broad biological principles, the organism chosen for study is called a model organism. * Researchers select model organisms that are representative of a larger group, suitable for the questions under investigation, and easy to grow in the lab. * For study...

...Women comprise more than half of the population in the United States and have overwhelmingly surpassed men in the attainment of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. In 2011, women only comprised 16.1 percent of board seats in Fortune 500 companies in the United States (Soares, 2011). This large gender disparity is hurting our boards immensely, as it is not showing enough of a large percentage of the population. In other countries the inclusion of other races and genders has been documented to show that it can help a company immensely in regards to profitability. In this report, we are going to talk about gender disparity, what it is, how it affects our Boards, what is being done, and ultimately what we can do even more to help bridge the gap in our gender disparity. We will also discuss the pros and cons of gender quotas when it comes to firms and women and also what is being done outside the United States to combat gender disparity internationally, either voluntarily or through law. Gender disparity, simply put, is inequality. In regards to this report we focus on the disparity of power when it comes to serving on Boards of Directors. According to Rachel Soares, who graphical depicts her information, shows that about 83% of all boards are composed of men overwhelmingly. (2011) That means women only make up about 17% of the member of a Board of Directors, and we consider that a problem. In figure 1 below, we show the disparity of women who hold positions on boards.

...Dianna L. Pittman Jones International University EDU630 Assignment 5.1 "Task analysis for instructional design is a process of analyzing and articulating the kind of learning that you expect the learners to know how to perform". (George Mason University) Although task analysis has been approached from several perspectives, there is one constant among them. Task analysis, at a minimum, assists the instructor or designer to understand the content to be taught. According to George Mason University, (n.d.) instructional designers perform task analysis in order to: * determine the instructional goals and objectives; * define and describe in detail the tasks and sub-tasks that the student will perform; * specify the knowledge type (declarative, structural, and procedural knowledge) that characterize a job or task; * select learning outcomes that are appropriate for instructional development; * prioritize and sequence tasks; * determine instructional activities and strategies that foster learning; * select appropriate media and learning environments; * construct performance assessments and evaluation. Below is a goal analysis I developed to assist learners in understanding the business planning process for a beauty business. Goal: At the end of six weeks, learners will know the main components of a business plan and through the use of business planning software, will develop a business plan that will be used to measure comprehension and be...

...Feeling hopeless, afraid, alone and like you’re out of options is common for someone in a domestic abuse situation. Domestic violence (also referred to as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, intimate partner violence, battering or family violence) is a pattern of behavior which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting like a marriage or cohabitation. Leaving a domestic abuse situation isn’t always easy for someone to do. Most of the time they feel a lost of control that their abuser has taken from them. The most common for of control is money. If the abuse has no money, no way to get food, or shelter they’re more hesitant to leave their situation. Faith Works is program designed to help those being abused regain control over their life and start anew. First things first, we need careful planning; leave no stone unturned, nothing to risk. The object here is to ensure your abuser has no idea you are leaving and after you are gone will be unable to easily find you. We also need to ensure that your new life gets off to a secure, problem free start. We will be giving a full comprehensive strategy for how to leave your abuser. Keep in mind that we can’t do the work for you — you have to be fully committed to making this change yourself. We provide the information, but the job is up to you! In homes where domestic violence occurs, children are at risk of suffering abuse. The trauma experienced by children witnessing abuse is similar to that...
