To address in your paper:

Between 1271 and 1295CE the Venetian merchant and explorer, Marco Polo, traveled along the silk road to Kinsai (China), where he spent seventeen years employed by Kublai Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Upon his return to Venice in 1295CE, Polo was imprisoned by the rival Republic of Genoa in Italy. While in captivity, Polo relayed his account to his cellmate, Rustichiello of Pisa, who transcribed the narrative. Although some scholars have cast doubt upon whether Polo actually reached East Asia, his recollections are, nevertheless, one of the earliest European accounts of China.

The main books needed for this essay are Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Another book that is recommended for quotes is Give Me Liberty!: An American History (6th edition Vol 1) by Eric Foner.

The given prompt: Slavery was a brutal and dehumanizing institution, set up to oppress and control a section of the population based on race in the United States for the betterment of another race. The experiences of slaves in the United States (and the colonies) had both similarities and differences across gender. Using Frederick Douglass autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl as your sources of evidence, explore the role that gender played in the ways that slaves were oppressed as well as the ways that African American slaves exercised agency (power) within their lives in face of this oppression.

In order to fully develop your analysis of the role of gender in American slavery, you should include a review of the institution of slavery, what methods were employed to oppress and control African American slaves and what methods slaves employed to exercise power in the face of this oppression, and how these were similar and dissimilar across gender. Further, you should incorporate, region, law and religion into your analysis of both oppression and agency. Besides the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, you should incorporate information from Give Me Liberty as well as any online sources you may want to utilized (except Wikipedia), but you must include detailed examples, at least three from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and three from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. You must cite to these two books using Chicago/Turabian style citation. In order to properly cite, you will need to write you essay using Microsoft Word.

Your papers should be at least 3 pages (were sticking with 3), typed, double space, 1 inch margins, and should be cited in Chicago/Turabian Style, and must include a bibliography (on a separate page which does not count towards the page minimum).

We have encountered at least two major legendary figures in the Shahnameh: Rostam and Sikandar. The latter, of course, has an actual historical identity as Alexander, King of Macedonia (Alexander the Great), but Ferdowsi turns his life into a legend replete with fictional encounters and fantastic adventures. In the process, as a Persian poet writing in a land ruled by foreign conquerors who speak a different language (Arabic), he alters many factual details, including Sekandars parentage, to meet the demands and desires of his own cultural moment. The present age has its own expectations about cultural heroes. Your assignment is to refit and repurpose a character from an old legendto breathe twenty-first-century life into the original. In other words, create a legend about Rostam or Alexander suitable for our particular moment. With approval, you may also set your legend in a different time period (e.g. the nineteenth-century frontier or colonial New England).

In this assignment you will incorporate the most effective sources of information possible, giving special attention to the quality of sources utilized for the purpose intended. Find at least two valid sources of information for each of the three topics listed below. At least two of your six sources should NOT be listed in Module 1. Those two resources should either come from the Trident library or from other sources of peer-reviewed academic journals. Analyze both references for each category and select the one from each category that you think is the most appropriate reference for this assignment. In the end you will have three references to create this presentation for. The three categories are:
1. Job Evaluation: A formal, systematic means to identify the relative worth of jobs within your firm.
2. Market Pricing: Using market data to identify the relative value of jobs based on what other employers pay for similar jobs.
3. Pay Surveys: Collection of data on compensation rates for workers performing similar jobs in other organizations.

Create a PowerPoint presentation of at least 13 slides (representing the topics a, b, c, and d below and a cover slide) for each of the three sources you identified above. Discuss:
a. How the term specifically relates to the concept of total rewards,
b. The criteria you applied to determine that each source was appropriate to educate your company managers.
c. Why each source was chosen (relevance of the info), and
d. Any ethical or legal issues that should be considered.
Workers today want to see no more than 5 words and a picture on each slide. This means that all those words you want to put on the slides actually go onto the notes pages. (Suggestion: Change the four questions to short bullet points, such as Criteria for question b.). In addition, workers want to see pictures of people, and preferably pictures of the companys employees, not clip art. This shows potential job candidates that the company cares about its employees. If you put your completely formatted references on the slides, there is no need to have a reference list slide.

Group Dynamics and Teams

We will continue our experiential approach to the study of Organizational Behavior by engaging in a personal applied case on the topic of group dynamics and teams. As in Module 1, use the following outline to structure your 4- to 6-page paper. You may use the subtitles as headings for your paper.

Introduction: Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write this section after you have written the rest of the paper.

Concrete Experience: Begin with a specific situation/event. Describe an experience with a group or team that was meaningful to you. It may have been an extraordinarily good experience or it may have been an experience that did not work out very well at all! The important point is that it should be an experience which you would like to understand better. Be objective and focus on just the facts: who, what, where, when, and how as if you were composing a newspaper article.

Reflective Observation: Reflect upon that experience from multiple perspectives of persons involved or affected in the experience. Step back from the situation, look at the experience from your own viewpoint, and from the perspective of all other parties involved or affected. You want to look at the circumstances surrounding the experience from every relevant point of view. Why did you behave the way that you did? Why did others behave the way that they did? Did others have the same positive (or negative) experience? Explain. (Note: your discussion of theories and models from your module materials belongs in the following section.)

Abstract Conceptualization: (This Abstract Conceptualization section is the heart of your paper.) Use critical thinking skills to understand and interpret the experience at a deeper, more generalizable level. Interpret and understand the events you have described by drawing on the concepts, theories, and models in the background material from this module. Explain how they apply to your experience. For example, what behavior patterns can you identify in yourself and others that are similar to the ones described in the material on communication, teams, and conflict management? Does the model of Force Field Analysis (home page) help you better understand why people behaved the way they did? Be sure to apply at least three concepts, theories, and/or models and cite all references to concepts, ideas, and/or quotes that you use from any outside source.

Active Experimentation: Identify ways to respond to the next occurrence of a similar experience. What have you learned about the way groups work from this analysis? What have you learned from your mistakes? How are you going to put what you have learned to use? What actions will you take to build more effective work teams in your job?

Conclusion: Sum up the main points of your analysis and the key learning you are taking from it.

Reference List: List all references that you have cited in the paper using APA formatting. References include materials from the required background readings as well as any outside internet or library sources you used in researching and writing your paper. If you have APA questions, refer to the optional listings on the background page.
