- It is often easier to see manifestations of women’s oppression in cultures other than our own, since they don’t seem “natural” to us. However, as we have seen in class, for every issue we have located in “other cultures” we can find an analogous manifestation in the culture(s) of the United States that reveals a shared rootedness in patriarchal society. Offer and explain U.S. analogues to three of the following: stark division of gender roles, son preference, child marriage, and control of women’s sexuality.

-Discuss the origins of human rights discourse and the extent to which it has been applied (or not) to women’s issues we have discussed in class. Provide examples of how women’s lives (stories, issues, voices, ideas) continue to be "silenced" around the world.

- Family has been described as a “mythical haven.” Even though many of us find love and support among and within our families, statistically, it can be a dangerous place for women around the globe and in the U.S. How exactly is it “dangerous” in the context of women’s human rights? Why is it difficult to make motherhood, marriage and family “safe spaces” for women?

Collette, Inc., is considering issuing an Canadian dollar denominated bond at its present coupon rate of 10 percent, even though it has no incoming cash flows to cover the bond payments. U. S. dollar-denominated bonds issued in the United States would have a coupon rate of 9 percent. Either type of bond would have a 4-year maturity and could be issued at par value. Collette needs to borrow $10 million. Therefore, it will either issue U. S. dollar denominated bonds with a par value of $10 million or bonds denominated in Canadian dollars with a par value of C$13 million. The spot rate of the Canadian dollar is $.77. Collette has forecasted the Canadian dollar’s value at the end of each of the next four years, when coupon payments are to be paid at: Year 1 $0.76, Year 2 $0.75, Year 3 $0.74, and Year 4 $0.73.

(1) Calculate the expected annual cost of financing, as a percentage, with Canadian dollars.

(2) Should Collette, Inc., issue bonds denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars? Explain.
