It is difficult to read an article or listen to the news and not see or hear the term “sustainability”. Some companies have been proactive in their approach to promote “green initiatives” and have, by these actions, been ahead of the curve in terms of customer support. Ecological factors are now inextricably linked to the image of an organization, and sometimes even a country. As examples, Costa Rica has been promoting ecotourism initiatives for years, while, conversely, when the Olympics were held in Beijing, many companies were closed so that air pollution would not impact the experience of attendees.

Each student is asked to find a current news article from a reputable, business-focused source (e.g., Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Kiplinger’s or Forbes) that illustrates a force in the external environment that impacts your industry. In this blog, post the link to the article and your analysis of what impact the specific force will have on your industry in the next year.

The freshman 15 refers to the urban legend that students gain an average of 15 pounds during their freshman year of college. The weights of 100 freshmen at a certain University were observed in August and then re-examined in May. The claim that the mean difference is equal to 15 pounds is tested at a 0.05 significance level. The result is “fail to reject the null hypothesis”.

  • What do the results suggest?
  • What factors could have affected the results?
  • How can these results be used to make changes on campus?

can you help me with this paper please

Overview: This assignment asks you to write annotated bibliography entries for 3 articles related to social issues explored in the poetry we are reading in class. One article should be one that we have read together as a class; one should be an article not included in a weekly Reading Packet that you find in the “Article Resource Bank for Research Paper” Canvas module; and one should be an article that you have found through your own research.

Purpose:

  1. Demonstrate your ability to research, summarize, and evaluate articles.
  2. Demonstrate your ability to make critical connections between articles, contemporary social issues, and literature.
  3. Practice following MLA citation conventions.

Audience: Your audience is your instructor. That means your audience expects college-level academic writing that follows the guidelines of the assignment and is largely free of grammatical errors. Your audience will be familiar with the articles and poems available through our class Canvas page, and will expect that you additionally supply a relevant and credible article through your own research.

Content Requirements:

You will write 3 annotated bibliography entries for this assignment. Each entry must have 3 components:

  1. Proper MLA citation. A full MLA “Works Cited” listing should be the first part of each annotated bibliography entry. (Links to an external sitLinks to an external sIf you use an online citation generator, double-check it against these resources.
  2. Brief article summary. This should be between 3-5 sentences long. A summary is an objective overview of the article’s contents. It should NOT include your opinion, your reactions, or references to other sources. It should ONLY capture the main ideas from the article.
  3. Brief article evaluation. This should be ~5-10 sentences long (a bit longer than your summary). You should answer the following questions in your evaluation:
  4. How does the article connect to the poems we’ve read in class? Which poems does it connect with?
  5. Would this article be useful for inclusion in a research paper about how poetry connects to modern social issues?
  6. What facts, ideas, or quotations would be useful? What questions does the article raise about the social issues it addresses?

Details:

  • You must write 3 annotated bibliography entries:
    • One must be on an article that we have read as part of a weekly Reading Packet from Weeks 10-14.
    • One must be an article we have NOT yet read in a weekly Reading Packet from the “Article Resource Bank for Research Paper” module on our Canvas class page.
  • http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2016/10/06/the-state-of-american-jobs/
    • One must be a credible, trustworthy article that you find through your own research. This could be from a newspaper or magazine of record (such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Economist magazine)
