What are the historical questions the author is posing? What is the historian’s argument?

J.R. McNeill and William McNeill, The Human Web: A Bird’s Eye View of
World History – Chapters VIII and IX
Does there appear to be any measureable relation between communications
and ideas and if so,what might it be?
How are science and technology related?
Did population growth lead to urbanization or did urbanization lead to
population growth?
What impact did energy needs have on the environment?
Why does globalization appear to have become “born again?”
Is “Big History” possible and why might it matter?

Your response should include a brief summary of the reading and your own interpretation of
it. What are the historical questions the author is posing? What is the historian’s argument?
What are the sources and methodologies the historian uses? How successful are they in
achieving their aim? Next, pose some questions of your own the text raises for you that you
believe deserve further discussion. These are informal reflections only, not formal papers, so
don’t get hung up on making them perfect, just do them! You will be surprised what you can
come up with when you put pen to paper, (or your fingers to the keyboard!) and articulate
your own interpretation of a text. The heart of historical practice is inquiry, so ask
questions! If there is something you don’t understand, say so! Do not be afraid to disagree
with the author’s findings, or question their methods. If you think the author could have done
something differently, write about it. If you liked the reading, or thought it was awful, tell me
that too. You are not being graded on your ability to remember everything you read, but
on your ability to synthesize the information and come up with questions of your own.
We will be discussing your questions and observations in class, so bring your own

Individual Assignment II Market Analysis How does innovation change the market? Companies must continually introduce new products. How does product lifecycle affect prices, demand and customer expectations. Strategies for market segmentation and solid customer relationship management are paramount for future success. Chapters 3-6 will guide you with content for this assignment. The objective of this assignment is – from a management perspective – to identify external and internal marketing metrics which provide a market- based view of company performance. This includes both forward and backward looking metrics. Continue with the company you chose for the first assignment and apply the following concepts to it. Here are some parameters to guide you in compiling this paper: • Product market vs. product life cycle and market potential • Price performance and value creation – reverse innovation • Identify value drivers – crowd sourcing • Market segmentation • Customer relationship management • Competitors and their strategies • Barriers to entry • Barriers to exit • Relevant articles posted by faculty • Other concepts you identify from the text or from current events related to your company of choice and examples from the class discussions on both weekly topics. See Canvas for uploading instructions and due date. Format: APA, Font: Times New Roman Size 12, paper length, 5-6 pages. Cover page and reference page are additional pages and should not be included in the page count. It is expected that papers are written in the third person, contain the proper terminology as used in the text and in class, are spelling and grammatically correct – with a high level of clarity and are referenced appropriately. Refrain from pasting in excerpts from the textbook as this will diminish your grade and could be considered plagiarism – resulting in a failing grade.

I have no doubt that the prior assignment has helped you to delve more deeply not only into your strengths, but into your less-developed (i.e., “shadow”) areas as well. Only by fully understanding ourselves can we more effective lead others and manage our own lives. One of the great challenges within the Criminal Justice arena is dealing with the issue of corruption. Whether we are discussing with individual or personal corruption practices, or organizational cover-ups, such offenses shake the core of the public trust. Recent incidents involving police leadership in Baltimore and Chicago clearly illustrate these challenges. For your final short assignment (which you will prepare as an essay in APA style for individual submission to your professor, as opposed to via the discussion board) you will review each of the materials below germane to the issue of corruption: Required PowerPoint Presentation (Developed by your Professor, available as an attachment/link to this assignment) Required Reading (“Noble Cause” Corruption).
