...Toulmin model assignment Now that you have a firm understanding of the Toulmin model and its various parts, you will now apply that information to the real world. You are to find an argument made in a newspaper or magazine editorial, and then analyze the argument via the Toulmin model. The article can be from an online newspaper or magazine, but blogs or normal webpages are not acceptable. Additionally, the article MUST be an editorial or op-ed piece – these are to be personal views that are making a specific argument about an issue. Beyond including a hard copy of your article, you will want to include the following: * Identify the parts present – analyzing the artifact, you will identify any and all parts of the Toulmin model that are present within the artifact. For each part, you will need to present three aspects: * Define the Toulmin part – define (briefly) what this part is (to demonstrate that you know what you’re supposed to be looking for). This should be in your own words – don’t just quote the readings. * Express the example – express what specifically, within the artifact, is representing this particular part of the Toulmin model. This should be a direct quotation from the article. Do NOT paraphrase this part. * Explain the selection – explain why this particular selection you have chosen is a representation of this particular part of the Toulmin model. How does it fit into this type? Why would this be an example of the part...

...unusual point of view on a current public conundrum, along with a relevant platform (e.g., being a teacher, businessman, lawyer, doctor, parent or stamp collector) you don’t need clips or editorial experience on your résumé—just quick thinking and an understanding of the form of these articles. I once sent a hastily written kvetch about a Kmart opening in my Greenwich Village neighborhood to The New York Times at noon, had an acceptance by 2 p.m., was sent a copy by midnight and received a check within a week. Here are the essential elements of a successful and sellable op-ed. 1. BE TIMELY OR EARLY. I submitted my Kmart commentary the week the local branch opened, which, luckily, coincided with a front-page debate about superstores infiltrating Manhattan. Timeliness is essential with this genre, especially now that online news sites can update as often as they choose. The presidential election was hot for op-ed writers until Nov. 4; then, regular columnists took over the topic. Be sure to factor in lead times and how long it can take an editor to reply (especially if he doesn’t know you). If the Fourth of July is next week, your patriotic piece might already be too late. Retool it for Labor Day. Holidaysare reliable hooks because they happen every year, so you can plan ahead (or try...

...Constitutional Law: Bill of Rights TUTORIAL 1: WRITING AN OP-ED Do you have an interesting opinion to share? Is something driving you crazy? Is there something which needs to be said which no-one else is saying? If you can express it clearly and persuasively in an op-ed, you can reach thousands of people, and possibly sway hearts, change minds, influence decision-makers and even shape public policy. In the process, you also earn recognition for yourself and your institution, all for less effort than it takes to write a professional journal article. An op-ed is a short punchy piece of writing in which you give your opinion and try to convince your readers why you are right. It is not like an essay that unfolds slowly like a carpet. Quite the opposite because in an op-ed you open with your conclusion – the one message that you want to get across in the op-ed. This is the most important thing to remember about an op-ed. You have space for ONE message only. The rest of the op-ed is for you to make your case and support your view or conclusion. In the process of doing so, you usually play an educating role for readers who have no specialist knowledge of the subject matter. It is important though that your op-ed is accessible and not preachy. So an op-ed is the expression of your opinion, but backed up with facts, research or first-hand information. Typically an op-ed is 700-800 words. Any longer and you risk an editor deciding not to publish it because she can’t...

...Mountain Equipment Co-op Report In this report our group discusses the ethics and impacts of MEC’s decision to shift from primarily Canadian manufactured goods to offshore facilities. We will discuss which stakeholders are affected, how they are affected, how they are going global and the risks and investments involved, the ethical issues involved in purchasing offshore goods and MEC’s sustainability strategy. MEC’s decision to carry products manufactured in offshore facilities will affect the following stakeholders: Stakeholder | Effect | Description | Canadian Manufacturers | Suffer | They will lose business | Offshore Manufacturers | Benefit | They will gain business | Consumers | Benefit | High quality products for low cost | Investor(members) | Benefit | More surplus will return more dividends | Canadian Employees | Suffer | Lose jobs as manufacturers lose business | Offshore Employees | Benefit | Better work environment and pay rate | Governments | Benefit | Canada: More tax revenue as consumers will buy cheaper products.Offshore: Investment in the country and increasing employment rate | MEC is ‘going global’ by purchasing from offshore manufacturers, increasing its global influence through parternerships, improving foreign work environments, and purchasing from sustainable manufacturers.

...De invloed van het wetenschappelijk model op de management studies. De afgelopen jaren zijn er op scholen heel veel theorieën op het gebied van management studies ontwikkeld. Academici verschillen van mening of we management studies wel kunnen verklaren op basis van een wetenschappelijk model. Verder is de vraag in hoeverre deze theorieën wel of niet een negatieve invloed hebben in de praktijk. (Goshal,2005) Volgens Goshal heeft de toepassing van het wetenschappelijk model een negatieve invloed op management studies. Er is een groot verschil tussen de fysieke wetenschappen en de sociale wetenschappen. Als er een bepaalde theorie is in de fysieke wetenschappen verandert dit niet het gedrag binnen dit concept. Bij de sociale wetenschappen kan een foute theorie echter ervoor zorgen dat mensen of organisaties zich toch naar deze theorie gaan gedragen. Als we in een simpel voorbeeld zouden aannemen dat werknemers niet werken als er geen toezicht op ze gehouden word, dan is het aannemelijk dat managers toezicht gaan houden op werknemers, hoe goed of fout deze theorie dan ook mag zijn. (Goshal,2005) In de laatste decennia hebben acadamici business studies gebrobeerd te verklaren aan de hand van een wetenschappelijk model. Ze gaan er vanuit dat alles binnen de business studies vaststaat in bepaalde regels en patronen (determinisme). Dit wil zeggen dat alles uitgelegd kan worden door algemene regels en dat er geen ruimte is voor de vrije wil van een individu. (Goshal,2005) ...

...Denkrichtingen De theorie van Frederick Taylor Scientific management. Frederick taylor bood voor het eerst een systematische, samenhangende bedrijfskundige benadering voor de wijze waarop de productie georganiseerd zou moeten worden. 1. Een wetenschappelijke analyse van de werkzaamheden en het uitvoeren van bewegingsstudies. De resultaten hiervan leiden tot standaardisatie en normalisatie van het productieproces en de hierin te gebruiken machines en materialen. 2. Een vergaande taakverdeling en training van de arbeiders waarbij elke handeling en beweging precies is voorgeschreven. Hierdoor krijgt de arbeider een hoge routine waardoor weer hogere productienormen gehaald kunnen worden. 3. Een hechte en vriendschappelijke samenwerking tussen leiding en arbeiders. 4. De bedrijfsleiders zijn verantwoordelijk voor het analyseren van en het zoeken naar werkmethoden en het scheppen van productievoorwaarden. Voorheen werd dit naar de uitvoering geschoven. 5. De juiste man op de juiste plaats door zorgvuldige selectie. 6. Het invoeren van prestatiebeloning met als doel te komen tot lagere productiekosten. Verder stond hij een arbeidsverdeling voor van de leiding van de productieafdeling of werkplaats over acht functies, die elk door een aparte functionaris uitgevoerd moesten worden. 1.

...Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. Company Background Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. (HHYY) was founded in 1993 by two business school graduates who thought there ought to be alternatives to the video game craze. Searching for a toy that could have mass market appeal they settled on yo-yos. Yo-yos have a nostalgic appeal to the baby boomer generation and are a novelty plaything for generation X. So, the main marketing thrust of HHYY is directed toward parents and grandparents rather than to the children who will actually play with the yo-yos. The latest advertising campaigns show 50-ish men competing in 1950’s era yo-yo competitions, grandmothers showing their grandsons how to do yo-yo tricks, and pre-teen girls trying to get their yo-yos away from their dads who are monopolizing them. This advertising campaign has been highly effective. After a couple of rough start-up years, HHYY achieved profitability in 1996 and has seen sales and profits increase each year since then. HHYY is a closely held Subchapter S Corporation with all the stock being held by the founders and their family members. The founders, John Cooper and Juan Martinez share the position of Office of the CEO. John is also the Chief Operating Officer (COO) while Juan is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). An organization chart for HHYY is in Figure 1. The firm employees about 350 people in a single location in the suburbs of Cut and Shoot, Texas. Figure 1. Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc.
