Edward is a seven-year-old boy who has difficulty reading. His teacher refers him to the school psychologist to evaluate for a learning disability. The psychologist’s report concludes that Edward has dyslexia and mild central nervous system impairment.
Edward’s mother asks whether the report means that her son has brain damage. The psychologist says, “He has impairments, but I wouldn’t say that he is brain damaged.”
How would you explain this answer? What is dyslexia?
What are the different nuances of meaning associated with the expressions brain damage and central nervous system impairment?
In our culture, are we overly sensitive and fearful about the idea of brain damage?
Is this fear justified?

Assignment 1: Annual Report Review
A critical financial accounting skill is the ability to read, analyze, and to make actionable determinations from any financial statement. Business leaders gain valuable information from the analysis of their financial statements, the competitors’ financial statements, and comparison to industry averages.
The Situation
You are the CFO of an up-and-coming athletic company, which desires to someday become the #1 athletic company in the world. Strategically, the company uses Nike and Under Armour as their key competitor benchmarks. Your CEO is a big believer in learning from the competition and is requesting two things from you regarding Nike and Under Armour’s most recent annual reports.
Part One: The Executive Summary
No more than 2 pages (can include an appendix with additional graphs, charts, and tables).
1) Competitor Strategies
• Identify and explain one key strategy from each company that the company explicitly
discussed in the annual report.
2) Net Income Margins
What are the net income margins for both companies?
How do they compare?
Who achieves the higher net income margin? Why?
Tip: Analyze the major cost structure line item in the income statement (COGS, SG&A,
interest, other, and taxes) as a percentage of net sales to identify reasons for better net income margins. Identify and comment on the differences you see. You may not know why a particular cost item like COGS is higher or lower, but your CEO only seems interested in knowing which cost structure items are higher or lower for each company.
3) Inventory Management
Who has more inventory in terms of days of inventory last year?
What are their respective 3-year trends for days of inventory?
What does FIFO/LIFO mean, and which accounting approach does each of the companies use to value their inventory? (The accounting approach can be found in the Notes section.)
4) Cash is King
How much net cash from operations did each company generate last year?
In laymen’s terms, how is each company spending their cash with respect to reinvestments in the business, changes in debt, and returning money to shareholders?
5) Liquidity
How is the current ratio calculated?
How do the companies compare in terms of the current ratio, and what are their
respective 3-year trends?
Does their current ratio indicate that either (or both) of these companies could go
bankrupt soon? Explain.
Part Two: The Video Presentation and PowerPoint – 5 minute maximum
1) Create a PowerPoint Deck
Highlight some key findings from the executive summary. Focus on key insights that would be helpful for the leadership team.
Your PowerPoint should be complementary to your executive summary.
I will do the video myself, just need the powerpoint and notes
Locke maintained that each of us has the power to decide which religious community to join, if any. He also maintained that no religious community has doctrinal jurisdiction over any other, and maintained that those communities and their members should tolerate the existence of diverse communities with diverse doctrines. Finally, he believed that no individual should be subject to civil prejudice or penalty due to his or her religious convictions and that religious authorities should have no special civil powers or authorities.
Locke also believed that governments do not have — and cannot be given by the consent of the people — the right to force its members to hold specific religious beliefs or to engage in specific religious behaviors.
Please discuss Locke’s conception of religious toleration and the separation of church and state in an essay that answers the following questions:
Do you find Locke’s expansive vision of toleration useful and ethical? Why or why not?
Do you believe that there are ever cases where it is acceptable for a society to decide not to tolerate religious communities whose beliefs or practices seem ‘too extreme’ to be tolerated. If so, what considerations or principles can help one to determine exactly which religious communities should be treated as intolerable?
Do you believe that it is ever acceptable for individuals’ religious beliefs to affect the administration of law? Why or why not?
Please ensure that your essay addresses each component of the assigned questions and that your answer is well-organized and makes judicious use of textual evidence. Your essay should be 600-900 words long.
