Go online and do some focused research on some specific human rights case. There are high profile cases (and they do not have to be current) like Elian Gonzalez, Malala, Syrian refugees (a dialog on how to solve this would be welcome).

No matter what you choose, be brief in your description of the case (Africa, Asia, US, Europe, Latin America, Mideast), focus on the controversial aspects of the case-- how it was resolved or not, and how it connects to issues.

answer must be more than 300 words.

Here is the context in which you should write your final exam. Bronner’s Christmas Store is one of the largest in America. Bronner’s currently has one store located in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Bronner’s has decided to open up a second store in Heidelberg, Germany. Reflecting on each chapter in our textbook, respond to each of the following questions as though you were hired to be a consultant to Bronner’s.

Please describe the exchange rates between the Euro and the Dollar. What are the exchange rate risk for Bronner's.

Social networking sites are fast becoming corporate resources. Consider how Facebook may be used by an organization. Can you think of different ways in which organizations such as Coca-Cola, KFC, or Bank of America can use social networking? What are network effects?  

If you were the chief executive officer of a Fortune 500 company, would you be comfortable using social media sites like Facebook or LinkedIn as part of your CRM strategy? Why or why not? At least 250 words.

The dual foreign policy tenets of threatening "massive retaliation," sometimes called brinksmanship, and the CIA-orchestrated covert operations to overthrow elected leaders around the world perceived (or in reality) as friendly to communism were seen (and continue to be seen) as counterproductive by some critics of John Foster Dulles and historians of the Cold War. Given what you have learned from reading and thinking about Chapter 26 and these documents, do you believe the Eisenhower/Dulles approach was effective in keeping America safe and secure?

Here is the context in which you should write your final exam. Bronner’s Christmas Store is one of the largest in America. Bronner’s currently has one store located in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Bronner’s has decided to open up a second store in Heidelberg, Germany.

Q: How will you strategically position your Heidelberg, Germany store?

Gather information and opinions from those who have been affected by checking Internet sources. A good place to start is the Intersex Society of North America (http://www.isna.org/). Another website filled with nonmedical information is http://www.healthyplace.com/gender/inside-intersexuality/frequently-asked-questions-from-non-intersexed-people/menu-id-1427/.

Given this information, do you think it is ethical for young children to undergo surgery to correct intersex conditions? Why or why not?

A steel industry emits, other harmful pollutants , CO. There are 8 identical firms in this industry. Four of them are located near a city( urban area) while four of them are located in the country ( rural area) . They can install filters ( srubbers) in their exhaust to clean up part of their emissions. Their abatements costs related to CO clean up are described by MACi= 400- 8Ei, where i = 1,2,....8 . The emission of CO are locally dispersed. Due to higher population and structure density in the city , the marginal damage a unit of CO is causing in the urban area is higher than that in the rural area. More specifically these damages are described by MDu= 1.2 E and MDr=0.5 E

a. Find the units of emissions these 8 firms will emit if the CO emissions are left unregulated . How many units of emissions are released in each of the two areas

b. Find the aggregate marginal abatement cost function for each of the two area

c. What is the socially efficient level of emissions in each area and how many unit of emissions must be abated( in each area) compared to the unregulated level so that efficiency will be achieved

d. If the government sets the pollution levels at the socially efficient levels of emissions in each of the two areas, calculate the total abatement cost per firm in each of the two area

NARRBEGIN: Loose Cannon refunding

Loose Cannon Co.

Loose Cannon Co. is evaluating a new $75 million bond issue, the proceeds of which would be used to call and retire its outstanding $75 million bonds. Details on both bond issues are presented below. The firm is in the 35% tax bracket.

Old Bonds The old issue sold at par, with a coupon rate of 11 percent. It was issued five years ago with a twenty year maturity. The issue had $350,000 in flotation costs and carries a call price of $1150.

New Bonds The new issue are expected to sell at par with an 8.5 percent coupon rate and a 15 year maturity. Flotation costs are forecast to be $500,000. Interest payments will overlap for 2 months while the old bonds are retired.
