American History 1920s Research Paper
Welcome to our first research project!
Historic newspapers are vital sources for historians, especially for those interested in the United States since 1877. In fact, newspaper articles have famously been called the “first draft of history.” Yet as we’ve seen, newspapers, like every source, are biased, by which I mean they have a particular point of view. In our analysis of historic newspapers, we will use the SOCC method to critically evaluate newspapers in an effort to understand their biases so we can use the articles to answer significant historical questions. Good news — you’ve been doing this in our history gyms!
The next two weeks are devoted to your first of two “major assignments” you’ll be completing this semester. Together, they are worth 25% of your overall grade — so please give this assignment the time it deserves. You might even consider it your midterm exam. So you can focus all your efforts on this assignment, there is no quiz or history gym this module.  American History 1920s Research Paper.

      • Each event should include all of the following:
        • Specific date, location, individuals/groups involved, and a brief two-to three-sentence description of the event.

Demand-side Policies and Great Recession of 2008
Assignment 2: Demand-side Policies and the Great Recession of 2008
Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies) are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation. Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand (AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD to the right, the government has to increase the government spending (the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an increase in AD.Demand-side Policies and Great Recession of 2008

Remember, a case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case and study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:
Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case study.
Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case. Haier Group: Internationalization Strategy

Hair discrimination?

You are a human resources manager at a local nonprofit that provides job training skills to unemployed community members. Employees are expected to maintain a professional appearance to act as an example to the clients. One of your Black employees, Michelle, reports to work on Monday with locs. While there is no policy in the employee handbook prohibiting locs, you receive a complaint from a manager, Chad. Chad thinks that locs should not be allowed as the hairstyle does not meet the professional appearance standard required for the position. Chad claims locs are too casual and demands that Michelle should be asked to leave, without pay, until she returns with a more professional hairstyle.Hair Discrimination Discussion Paper

You invite Michelle to discuss the topic, and Michelle expresses her belief that she has the right to wear her hair in whatever style she chooses. She cites the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Compliance Manual on Race and Color Discrimination and states that Chad is being discriminatory. She also reports that another co-worker, Sue, changes her hair color regularly to unnatural colors such as fuchsia or green. On a couple of occasions, Michelle’s clients noted the unnatural hair color, questioning whether it would be considered professional or not. Michelle told her clients that it might not be appropriate for most workplaces, but they would need to check the employee dress code. Michelle relayed the clients’ concerns to Chad, who said that Michelle’s hair was professional and an expression of her creativity and innovation.
Michelle does not believe that her hairstyle is unprofessional but instead embracing her heritage and culture. She refuses to change her hairstyle, especially if other employees can have “unnatural” hairstyles. As the HR manager, you have to decide what you will do in this situation.
1. Describe the dilemma faced by the HR manager?
2. What are some possible solutions for this dilemma?
3. Choose your top two solutions and provide justification for your decision?
