As the title of the book suggests, Annette Lareau in Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life (2011) argues that the influences of

social class and race result in “unequal childhoods.” Why are they unequal? How is this inequality produced? In her study, which status

(race or class) does she argue is more influential? Discuss why she comes to this conclusion.

The goal of this paper is to argue for and support Hard Determinism in regard to Free Will. This means that the paper needs to have reasons why

hard determinism is true and it also have to respond to potential objections from the two counter views: Soft Determinism and Libertarianism.

The paper needs following:
– A Thesis
– Reasons in support of Hard Determinism
– Hard determinism’s definition of free will
– Reasons to reject Soft Determinism and Libertarianism

Business Studies
Discuss the three traits McClelland determined are present in all people.
Answer: David McClelland identified three traits that are present in all people to varying degrees: the need for achievement, the need for affiliation, and the need for power. Individuals with a high need for achievement have a special desire to perform challenging tasks well and to meet their own personal standards for excellence. Individuals with a high need for affiliation are especially concerned about establishing and maintaining good relations with other people. They not only want to be liked by others, but also want everyone to get along with everyone else. Individuals with a high need for power have a strong desire to exert emotional and behavioral control or influence over others.

Budgetary Planning featuring Babzcakes *FULL woem (2016). YouTube.
Babycakes, a specialty bakery, is the company that will be considered for all parts of your
budget planning and control report. For this assignment, you will develop a three to four (3
4) page, paper in which you address the following.

1. Briefly discuss the ways’a realistic budget will benefit the owner of Babycakes
versus having no budget at ail. Be sure to use Babycakes as the company and
any specific product details in your explanation.

2. Prepare a sales budget fer the LA Babycakes store for the 4th quarter of 2016.
Present the number of units, sales price, and total sales for each month;
include October, November, and December, and a total for the quarter. Use
one-half of the Valentine’s Day sales as the basis for a usual day in the new quarter.

Use 30 days for each month. Calculate the total sales for each month for October,
November, and December.

3. Create three (3) new products, one (1) for each of the three (3) holiday seasons in
the 4th quarter. Estimate the sales units, sales price, and total sales for each month.
Describe the assumptions used to make these estimates. include an overview of the
budget in the report, presenting the actual budget as an appendix with all data and
calculations. Add these amounts to your sales budget.

4. The owner of Babycakes is interested in preparing a flexible budget rather than the
static budget she currently uses. She does not understand why, when sales
increase, her static budget often shows an unfavorable variance. Explain how a
flexible budget will overcome this problem. Use the details of your newly prepared
budget for the 4th quarter of 2016 to address her concern.

5. Imagine that Babycakes is facing a financial challenge that is causing the actual
amount of money that it spends to become significantly more than its budgeted
amount. Include a discussion of’your own unique cause of the overspending.
Explain the corrective actions needed to address these challenges.

Respond to the following Factual Scenario.

Factual Scenario:
Pat Painter has a contract to paint Harry Homeowner’s house for $6,000.00. Pat would supply all materials at a cost to Pat of $1,000. This is a

valid contract in every respect. Harry breaches the contract by refusing to let Pat paint the house, which Pat found out before spending any money

on the materials. Pat is able to find another job that nets a profit of $4,200 during that same time that Harry’s house was to be painted. In your

paper, discuss how much, if anything, Pat can recover from Harry in monetary damages.

ImportantGuidelines

Your score will be determined by evaluation of your substantive content. Your analysis and solutions as applicable must be based on the principles

of law presented in the text and on the course site–not merely on your opinions. You must describe how application of the principles of law to the

key facts supports your determination of the issues. You need to show the reasoning behind your decision.
The length of your response has no bearing on your score. Most responses will be from one to three pages.
Key facts are those facts that determine if the principles of law are met. You do not need to repeat the factual scenario. Doing so does not meet

the requirement of recognizing the key facts. You must still demonstrate you recognize those key facts.
Use FIRAC to analyze this case.

PROJECT 2: PROFESSIONAL TRAINER INTERVIEW
SCENARIO
As the professional trainer for your company, you need to design and implement a formal training program for your employees. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you decide to interview a professional trainer in your field. For this project, you will research, identify, and interview a person who trains adults. This may include, but is not limited to: military, law enforcement, sales, medical, education, industry individuals, etc. For this project, please write a 4-5 page report that describes, in depth, who you interviewed, the questions you asked, the trainer’s responses, and the lessons learned from the interview.
HOW TO FIND A TRAINER
Professional trainers are all around us. Examine your workplace first to see if you can identify someone that has the responsibility for training others for their positions. The person you interview does not have to have the title of trainer. Most of us train adults every day and do not have the official title. The person you interview, however, must be the person who is responsible in your company or another company, for the training of some or all of the employees. Usually in a department there is one person that everyone goes to in order to get answers on how something is done or accomplished. That person is an unofficial trainer.
Beyond your workplace, there are also trainers. For example, schools (at all levels—elementary, middle, high school, college, & university) have trainers or teachers/staff in charge of making sure that their employees have important state-mandated information/skills (ex.: fire safety, OSHA, privacy, child and records management, etc.). Local restaurants have employees that they have designated as trainers. Check their name badges—it will usually have their name and underneath something like, “Lead Trainer.” Ask the manager or one of the employees if there is a trainer available for you to talk to…people are usually flattered when their accomplishments and special skills are recognized.
You can also do research online and identify a professional consultant or trainer. Consultants are always willing to do interviews because it is good publicity for their business. Trainers in large companies are also usually willing to help students.
HOW TO CONDUCT THE INTERVIEW
You can conduct the interview face-to-face OR using technology (video conferencing, telephone call, or email).
Please makes sure you identify and contact the trainer early and give him/her time to schedule the interview. If you have the opportunity, email the person first and state who you are, the purpose of the assignment, and a sample of the interview questions. Please remember that this is an opportunity for a professional to get to know you and your work, so professionalism in every communication and interaction is of the utmost importance.
Decide beforehand how you will conduct the interview (face-to-face or using technology: video conferencing, telephone call, or email). If you are going to meet face-to-face, by telephone, or video conferencing, it will help if you record the interview so you can refer to the recording later to complete the assignment (this is optional). Be sure to inform the trainer that you will be recording the interview before actually doing so. If the trainer does not wish to be recorded, please honor their request by either taking detailed notes or locating a different individual to interview. If the interview is by email, you will have the responses already recorded in the body of the email.
Make sure you arrive to the interview on time (whether you meet in person, by phone or video conferencing), dress professionally and have a copy of the questions you will be asking for the trainer as well as yourself. If you email the questions, make sure you email them on time and explain politely the deadline when you need the responses.
