This is a two paged double spaced theme analysis paper about “vision” in darkroom, a graphic novel by Lila Quintero. I am trying to focus on how her perspective changes throughout the book. An example would be her adding her eyes throughout the book to show that her growth and what she learned or seen that changed her perspective. Another example of vision of be her vision of the imagined. During the civil rights movement protest, she included an image of a black protester’s eyes in fear. I think it meant how she could picture those imagined scenes because she wasn’t there physically at the civil rights movement. Please elaborate more on it.

Glaucon (Ring of Gyges) says that we obey the laws only from fear of punishment. Provide four reasons for obeying the law or ethical principles that do not involve punishment or reward.Is there a difference between people who obey the law out of fear and those who obey the law out of a sense of duty or character?What are those differences?When is it acceptable not to obey the laws?What types of laws ought we obey and which ought we disregard? Be sure to back up your answers with information you have learned from the readings in the week.

Assignment 3: Community Agency Observation

This project will continue until the end of the course, where the cumulative project is submitted in Module 5.

Develop a Community Agency Observation project that would be of approximately ten hours duration in total at a community organization in your town or city. The community agency observation projects can be individualized and must be approved by the instructor. For example, you could observe international agencies or churches in your community that have English as a Second Language (ESL) programs.

Make sure that you choose an organization where you will be able to:

• Assess the multicultural organizational development of the institution.
• Summarize a few critical incidents during which multicultural aspects were addressed (directly and indirectly).
• Examine the influence of diversity on human services delivery issues, such as problem identification, symptom expression, and help-seeking behavior.
• Analyze how those critical incidents affected your cultural self-awareness and professional relationship, specific to the provision of culturally competent services.
• Apply a multicultural and interdisciplinary approach to generate a proposal on what the organization can do to improve its service delivery in a population from diverse cultural or ethnic backgrounds.
• For each observation visit in Modules 3, 4, and 5, you must complete a copy of the weekly self-reflection and process worksheet. Remember to write clearly and check spelling and grammar because these sheets will be included in your final product. Click here to access the template.

Tasks:

Develop a 3- to 4-page Community Agency Observation proposal that includes the following:

• The type of agency you would be observing.
• The reason this type of agency is important to your field.
• An explanation of 2–3 professional goals that you hope to reach through this observation. Make sure that your goals are SMART—specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

I need a one  and half page essay on the subject of Domestic Violence more specific why women choose to stay with their abusive male lovers. The paper should be basically about how domestic violence affects the society as awhole and most importantly why doing a research survey  (why women choose to stay in the relationship) is so important for example what are the benefits of conducting this survey and what our expecting findings will be and what are we plan on doing with our findings.

Then I need a orginal consent form that includes ethical considerations, statement on safe guarding their personal information, how the survey will be conducted, and how the survey will benefit the society and what will do with the information once obtain. and anything else you can think of once again the consent form have to be orginally

Acquisition Analysis and Valuation Outline: The proposal must conform to the following conditions: (1) each manager will be representing an acquiring company or investment group whose business growth strategy involves an acquisition and (2) the target firm must be in the same industry.

 

The acquisition is to be a purely hypothetical acquisition of a financial services company or submit your alternative idea for approval from the Professor:

 

The use of publicly traded companies as comparables will facilitate data collection, and the selection of a single company and companies in the same industry will simplify the analysis. Based on analysis, define scenarios where an acquiring firm [might] overpay, underpay, or pay “fair market value” for the target firm and why.

 

The purpose of this Acquisition Simulation is to give students the opportunity to apply the tools they have learned in an increasingly common real world situation, i.e., mergers and acquisitions. In no more than 12 pages plus supporting charts, tables, financial statements and appendices, each proposal must address the following areas:

 

1. Executive summary [<1 page]: Identify the industry/market in which the acquiring firm is seeking to grow and discuss why a particular firm was chosen as the target. Moreover, discuss the rationale for the magnitude and composition of the initial offer price and your recommendation as to how it should be financed and why. This section should be no more than one page in length.

 

2. Industry/market overview[1 page]: Describe the industry/market in terms of size, growth rate, product offering, and other pertinent characteristics. Furthermore, describe industry/market dynamics in terms of customers, competitors, potential entrants, product/service substitutes, and suppliers.

 

3. Opportunities/threats [1/2 page]: Discuss major opportunities and threats that exist because of the industry’s competitive dynamics including any barrier to entry. Be sure that you can show how these threats or opportunities are a consequence of industry dynamics described in (2).

 

4. Objectives [1 page]: Assume FINANCIAL BUYER. Specify how the acquisition will enable the new company (i.e., the combination of the acquirer and target firms) to grow and create shareholder value. Cite specific objectives the acquirer hopes to achieve (e.g., gain access to new customers or products or proprietary technologies, improve shareholder value by achieving economies of scale or scope, etc.) and quantify whenever possible. Note that objectives can include the exploitation of opportunities or defense against threats identified in section (3).

 

5. Negotiating strategy [1/2 page]: Once the primary target has been identified

 

–Describe what you believe to be the primary issues/needs of the parties involved (i.e., target firm stakeholders)

 

–Recommend a deal structure that addresses the primary needs of all parties. Identify and explain the rationale for choosing the main elements of the structure including the proposed acquisition vehicle, post closing organization, form of payment, form of acquisition, and tax structure. Indicate how you might “close the gap” between the seller’s expected price and the offer price, if the seller rejects the initial offer, by making a counter-offer.

 

6. Financials and valuation [3-4 pages]: For the acquiring and target firms, provide projected three-five year income and balance sheet and estimate each firm’s value based on its projected DDM. List key forecast assumptions. Provide projected five year income, balance sheet, and cash flow statements for the consolidated acquirer and target firms including the effects of potential synergy.

 

Clearly state potential sources and destroyers of value. Develop a preliminary minimum and maximum purchase price range for the target firm. Identify an initial offer price, the composition (i.e., cash, stock, debt, or some combination) of the offer price, and why you believe this price is appropriate in terms of meeting the primary needs of both target and acquirer shareholders. The appropriateness of the offer price should reflect your preliminary thinking about the deal structure.

 

7. Financing plan [1/2 page]: Using the combined/consolidated financial statements, determine if the proposed offer price can be financed through some combination of cash, stock, or borrowing without endangering the combined firm’s credit worthiness or seriously eroding near-term profitability and cash flow.

 

8. Integration plan [1/2 page]: Identify potential integration challenges and possible solutions. (For those characterizing themselves as financial buyers, integration may not apply. Instead, they should identify an appropriate “exit” strategy.)

 

9. Conclusion: [<1 page] Recommendations for achieving value in the proposed acquisition supported by key evidence discussed in the narrative.

 

10. References: List articles read and data sources.

 

11. Appendices: Any detailed analyses and charts-tables used to support statements made in the “body” of the paper should be included here. If a chart or table is cited it should have a narrative of no more than 150 words. Unnecessary or un-narrated elements of a chart-table have no grade value. All work must be shown for equation calculations and equations must be plain-language specified. (Source ratio, e.g., Morningstar, must have an equation spec.)
