For thiS exam, YOU W111 have 10 answer three questions. The first question in Part 1 is mandatory.
You Will then need to choose two questions out of the three in Part 2. Be sure that you answer all
parts of each question. Essay responses should be 1.5 to 2 (double-spaced) pages per question.
Part One:

I) Cant we think about globalization without neoliberalism? What is neoliberalism and what
is distinct about its relationship to globalization? To answer the question, consider not
only neoliberalism’s main tenets and how it functions but also provide a concrete
example of its impacts either from the readings or from a current news report (provide
link if using a news source).

Part Two:

1) The production and trade of commodities are an important way of revealing how
interdependent the world has become. Using one commodity as an example (clothes,
cellphones, cars, etc..), explain how it’s made, why, and who benefits. Be sure to draw
from the readings from the course to explain why it may be more profitable to produce
this commodity in this way.

2) What roles do gender and race play in globalization? In answering this question, be sure
to discuss the different historic and current roles of men and women in the global
economy, as well as how race and racialized labor functions in an increasmgly global
context.

3) Using the readings, lecture, and discussion, define what constitutes the Developed and
Underdeveloped (or Developing) countries. How did these countries and regions of the
world come to be this way? How does globalization transform the relationship between

them? In answering this question, be sure to explain what you mean by globalization in

this context and what impacts it has had on these countries today.

 

The Structured Controversy
(This is adapted from a case study developed by Anne Weyandt)

After the death of Philando Castile in July, 2016, tensions ran high between community members; the police; and elected officials. Protesters of all ages,

races and cultures were present at the Governor’s Residence in St. Paul after Castile’s death, and other acts of protest have taken place across the Twin

Cities since this tragic incident. Amid calls for greater police accountability and acknowledgement of past acts of racism and exclusion, women and men

across the metro area are struggling with two key questions: why do these violent acts occur, and what can we do—individually and collectively—to make

change happen in our communities, so that our children and families are safe, and justice is served? St. Kate’s has a rich tradition of student engagement

in the community, both in terms of providing support for the basic needs of community members, and as voices for systemic change in our schools,

workplaces, churches and streets.
An alum of St. Kate’s wishes to donate $10,000.00, in the name of St. Kate’s to some project that will lead to racial justice. It is up to your learning

community to determine what would be the best use of that donation by reading Dr. King’s approach to racial injustice, researching possible social actions

that would be responsive to the needs of our time, and presenting your research to your learning community along with your recommendation.
You will present your ideas to your community, using RTW.

Process:

Using the research skills that you built in Searching for Truths, find one-two more sources to support one of these options:

Option 1: You could donate the funds to an organization like the ACLU that is working to confront structural issues of racism in the criminal justice

system: https://www.aclu.org/files/assets/charting_a_new_justice_reinvestment_final.pdf

Option 2: You could donate the funds to Circle of Peace, an organization that supports building relationships between police and the community:

http://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/10/06/stpaul-cops-men-bond-at-national-black-history-museum

Option 3: You could donate the funds to Black Lives Matter to support public protests and resistance to racial injustice:

http://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/10/06/stpaul-cops-men-bond-at-national-black-history-museum

Option 4: You could donate funds to an organization that looks to create legislative change regarding police violence:

https://www.joincampaignzero.org/#vision

Option 5: You could donate funds to a Gofundme website to support the family of Philando Castille: https://www.gofundme.com/2d5wd5g

Option 6: You could donate funds to police training services: http://www.iacp.org/icpr

Option 7: Do you have another idea? Go for it! Research two-three solid sources.

 

*** Instructions for the Structure of the Presentation***

• You will present your arguments in video format. You may record a video or audio on your phone to post; you may create an audio PowerPoint, or you

may create a YouTube video–the possibilities are endless. You just need to use a format that your learning community can easily access.

• You will present one RTW paragraph in your audio or video: One complex topic sentence + 3 CERs + one concluding sentence.

• Your topic sentence will answer this question: How can we most effectively engage in the social action of donating funds to reduce racial

violence in policing?

• Your CERs should be evidence taken from 2-3 sources that support your decision.

• You should mention the name of your sources for your evidence—not the full cite—just the name.

• Your concluding statement should be a strong, persuasive statement indicating why you believe your option to be the strongest option among the

choices.

You have just been hired as the new District Manager for LOCOLA Credit Union Bank with 10 locations under your span of control. In the past 21 months, this district has been experiencing serious communications issues between the previous district manager, corporate office, district office, the supervisors, and employees. Your immediate mandate from the Bank Headquarters is to devise strategies that will improve your district followership communications skills based on the issues noted below. Utilize your leadership communications expertise skills gleaned in this course when developing the strategies. These strategies should also include the role of communication in promoting diversity, ethical behavior, developing leaders, and assessing your own leadership (and followership) styles.

The communications issues inherent in this district are:

• Constant change in supervisors
• Inexperienced supervisors
• Conflicting messages sent to the employees from corporate office, district office, and bank supervisors
• Ambiguity in communicating specific instructions
• Most supervisors have ineffective diverse leadership communications style in the district
• Verbal communication conflicts with written communication (e.g. policies and procedures)
• Open channels of communication lacking between management and employees
• Management does not give verbal directives to employees, but assumes non-Standard Operating Procedures tasks should be inherently executed
• Lack of feedback and language barriers

Your final project will be an 8- to 10-page in-depth analysis of the leadership communication issues noted in LOCOLA Credit Union Bank. Your report should include:

• A description of the situation

APA Guidelines
Be sure to use APA format when citing your sources (including the text) when making your Discussion posts. This applies to both short quotations and paraphrasing.
Short Quotations
If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by “p.”). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author’s last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.
According to Jones (1998), “Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time” (p. 199).
Jones (1998) found “students often had difficulty using APA style” (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers?
If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author’s last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation.
She stated, “Students often had difficulty using APA style” (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.
Summary or Paraphrase
If you are paraphrasing an idea from another work but not directly quoting it, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in-text reference.
According to Jones (1998), APA style is a difficult citation format for first-time learners.
APA style is a difficult citation format for first-time learners (Jones, 1998).
