    Huxley Manufacturing Co. is an engineering company and possesses cutting-edge technology in raw material processing and part assembling. The main customer for Huxley is the US defense department. In recent years many factors were changing. Increase in the costs involved for R&D, higher “knowledge intensity” of defense products and reduced allocation by the federal government as funds towards the defense budget. These changes had made the US defense department move away from the use of sole vendors to more competitive bidding. Price became the most important selection criteria. US firms like Huxley were still the major suppliers; even then purchase from foreign supplier had started.…

    Anna Julia Cooper was born in 1858 to a slave and a slave owner in North Carolina. She attended St. Augustine’s Normal School and Collegiate Institute for the colored. After she graduated she began advocating for people of color especially for women of color. Cooper strongly believed that the status and well-being of black women was a central part of the progression and equality of the nation. Throughout her life she fought relentlessly to uplift black women in hopes for a more just society for everyone. She famously wrote in her book A Voice from the South, “only the black women can say when and where I enter, in the quiet, undisputed dignity of my womanhood, without violence and without suing or special patronage, then and there the whole Negro race enters with me”(Cooper 54). Cooper described her teaching profession as “the education of the neglected people,” she felt that education, more specifically higher education, as the path of black women’s advancement (55). She believed that educational development women remove any need for reliance on men (Giddings 138). In 1902 Cooper was promoted to principle at M Street School where she taught math and science. With her firm belief that education was the pathway to progress for people of color, she often rejected her white supervisors’ authorization to teach her students different types of trades, and instead she prepared them for college. Cooper sent her student’s to some of the most respected universities, which helped the M Street School get accreditation from Harvard, but rather than her success be celebrated it was received with hostility from white supervisors and white supremacy that didn’t want to see the advancement of black youth. While Cooper was teaching at the M Street School she was heavily involved in building spaces for black women outside of education. She founded the Colored Women’s League of Washington in 1892, and in1900 she helped open the first YWCA chapter for black women, in…

    Born Gwendoline Nessie Foster on 8 June 1920 into a self-sufficient family that was full of music, philosophy, religion and language, Gwen had many early influences in her childhood that were clearly going to have an effect on her later life. Gwen's family had strong connections with music and it became a very important part of her life, causing her to aspire to become a musician. Gwen's grandmother introduced her to poetry and she began to write her own in the 1950's. Soon after, she learnt the German language to establish a wider reading of poetry and involve the language in her own works. Gwen married a linguist named William Harwood in 1945 and then moved around the Southern parts of Tasmania where she lived until her death in December 1995. Although she never felt a true sense of belonging to Tasmania, she was able to draw an amazing amount of inspiration for her poems from any beauty the landscape and surrounding environment contained.

    Case Problem The Sheraton and Westin hotel brands combined to form one company and instituted a $50 million ad campaign for a new “aggressive” loyalty program. The new merger solved many problems that the individual companies had faced and allowed Starwood to become a major competitor for Hilton Hotel Corporation and Hilton International. The increased spending by Starwood on its loyalty program reduced the cost-­‐effectiveness of the Hilton HHonors program, and in an industry that rewards economies of scale, Starwood is forcing Hilton to decide how to contend with a new power in the industry and what competitive advantage the Hilton HHonors loyalty program can derive over its competitors. Problem Solution Loyalty programs are crucial to the hotel industry because they allow a hotel brand to build and maintain its customer base, which allows the hotel and the customer to benefit from their continued business.…

    In the article “Fat and Happy: In Defense of Fat Acceptance,” the author Mary Ray Worley, a member of National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, attempts to persuade her audience to become more accepting and open-minded to people that are overweight or obese. She claims society is too judgmental of the larger people of our nation, and they should be accepted for who they are and not what they eat. However, Worley’s words throughout this article contradict themselves and by the end of the article, it begins to sound exceedingly hypocritical to be accepted as a larger American. Worley fails to provide credible evidence supporting her case and indicates discrimination as an excuse for obesity, when in reality, it is the individuals job to take responsibility for their own body.…
