In what ways did working in the Lowell Mills shape a young woman’s self-image, world paradigm, and redefine her place in the society?  Consider the following questions as you respond:

• The work environment in the Mills
• The way women viewed their purpose and future
• How working in the Mills may have impacted other areas of the women’s lives.

Choose one (1) of the following topics:

 

1. Logos (reason) & Myth/Agriculture & Water: Karen Armstrong draws a distinction between reason and myth. Discuss these differences in the context of agriculture and water management during the Neolithic Period and in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. What is logos? How did it lead to the development of agriculture? How did the hydraulic civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt use this logical, pragmatic, and scientific mode of thought to gain control over the water resources and create a rich agricultural economy?

 

Yet logos can only go so far in helping people cope with and understand their world. What is myth? How did these people use myth to understand and explain the vital role agriculture and water played in their lives? Cite specific examples from some of the myths we discussed in class. Deepen our understanding of logos and myth.

 

2. Kingship: Discuss kingship in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt drawing on such evidence as the Epic of Gilgamesh, Standard of Ur, preamble and epilogue of Hammurabi’s Code, pyramids, statue of QueenHatshepsut, and King Scorpion Macehead. Issues you may want to consider include sources of royal authority, origins and nature of kings, personal qualities of kings, kingly responsibilities, abuse of power, checks on abuses, how kings are depicted in art, and public manifestations of kingship. Deepen our understanding of kingship.

 

3. Material Culture: Humans are driven to create objects. Write an essay on how this need is an example of modern human behavior. Then discuss the usefulness of looking at objects as a way of understanding the people who created them. Use as examples any three objects that we discussed in class. Identify what each object is, where it was from and what culture created it, and what it reveals about the people who made it. Be certain to also include your thoughts about the usefulness and/or limitations of using material culture to analyze a people.

 

4. Hammurabi’s Code & Women’s Rights: What does the Code of Hammurabi reveal about the status of women and the extent of their rights in Babylon? What evidence do you see that women held rights under Hammurabi’s rule? Which laws provide evidence of these rights?  Is there also evidence that certain fundamental rights of women were denied? Which laws reveal this discrimination? What values underlay these laws?

 

You may want to look at such issues as divorce, a woman’s right to testify, her right to be convicted only on the basis of evidence, her right to engage in business, her right to be supported, her control of property as a widow, her role within the household, and her status under her husband’s authority. Use specific examples from the class exercise we did. When you cite a law, include in parentheses the number of the law from the class handout.

 

5. Death: Do you see any ways in which human concepts of death are similar to Karen Armstrong’s view of myth? How is this conceptualization a leap into an unknown realm? Is the way we view death an attempt to work out the meaning of our lives and social structures in this realm? In developing your answer, don’t forget to look back at the lecture on the Paleolithic Period and in addition to the lecture on Myth and Death.

 

 

 

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) provides assistance to countries experiencing economic woes. Discuss how, through the use of research and statistical analysis, the IMF achieves its mission ofrelated to surveillance and monitoring, money lending, and technical assistance. What aspects of the IMF’s mission is controversial and why?

Assignment 2: Managing a Merger

 

Due Week 10 and worth 140 points

 

 

 

Imagine you work for Quality Corporation (Quality.ad) who has just recently bought Crescent Inc. (Crescent.ad) in a recent merger. Quality and Crescent have separate offices in St. Louis (Quality HQ), Little Rock, and Austin (Crescent HQ). Crescent also has offices in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Santa Fe. The desire is to establish trusts between the two (2) AD forests and consolidate core services (DNS, DHCP, etc.) as soon as possible. Both companies are running Server 2012 as Domain Controllers. Their primary DNS, DHCP, and Domain Controller servers are in the two (2) corporate headquarters with secondary servers located in the other cities to reduce latency.

 

 

 

For the Quality.ad domain, the Flexible Single Master Operation (FMSO) roles are located on Server01, which is located at the Quality HQ. For the Crescent.ad domain, the FSMO roles are located on RWDC01, which is located at the Crescent HQ. In addition, the Quality.ad domain has several servers configured as a Certificate Authority, and the Crescent.ad domain has a single Certificate Authority.

 

 

 

During this acquisition, you will need to consider the following:

 

• The Crescent Inc. has developed several enhancements for the widgets that your company produces. The engineering documents are installed on the ServerDocs located at the Austin office. You will need to configure the necessary systems so that the engineers from Quality Corporation can access these documents. Since these documents are considered proprietary and highly confidential, you must ensure that no other users except the two (2) engineering teams can access these documents and that the documents stay within the company.
• For both organizations, all user IDs and digital certificates from the other organization must be recognized.

 

 

 

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

 

1. Explain the key considerations behind establishing trust relationships between the two (2) domains.
2. Suggest a method for consolidating Core Network services.
3. Provide a plan for integrating both AD forests eliminating duplication of service wherever possible.

 

 

 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

 

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

 

 

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

 

• Describe, manage, and install Active Directory replication, federation services, and certificate services.
• Demonstrate the ability to plan an advanced AD, DHCP, and DNS solution.
• Describe and plan for configuring a domain and forest as well as configuring trusts.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in advanced network infrastructure environments.
• Write clearly and concisely about advanced network infrastructure topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
