When looking at your selected country through the eyes of a company looking to expand its product or services, you will notice both controllable (Rebel) and uncontrollable forces (Imperial). The largest uncontrollable forces would deal with the overall economic environment of the country. The economic environment would include many factors, but the two largest could be government regulation and other political forces, and the degree of employment and how skilled the workforce is. The controllable forces would be your budget, what personal you hire and other parts of your in house strategy.
When you research your selected countries, what type of forces stand out to you? Rebel or Imperial?

compose a 3-page essay in which you argue whether or not the article is persuasive/successful/convincing. Here is a small outline that will help.Introduction.1) Summarize in general terms the conversation that people are having. What are they talking about, and what is the debate that they are having? 2) Briefly summarize what your author has claimed. You do not need a lengthy summary here. You simply need to give the reader a very clear statement about the position your chosen author has articulated . For example, if the debate is about the best way to eat, what does your author assert?3) Thesis: you need to announce clearly whether you find the author’s claim convincing or unconvincing. You can take a nuanced approach and say part of the argument is convincing and part of it is not. For example, you could say that Pollan makes a compelling case about the need to eat whole foods but that his argument is ultimately unsuccessful because he doesn’t address the problems of class, affordability, and feasibility. (As noted, I think it is more interesting to show where you disagree with the author.)Body ParagraphsThe purpose of the body paragraphs is to prove the point that you are claiming in the introduction. In this case, you will provide discrete pieces of evidence from the text you’ve chosen in order to support your assertion that the author is or is not convincing. In some cases, that will be evidence of what is not present. For example, if I were writing an essay about Pollan, I might have one paragraph where I address the fact that he does Not include any material about differences in class. Each body paragraph should handle one piece of evidence. You should make sure to summarize the part of the text you are addressing (i.e. what is the author writing about in that section). You should quote directly from the text. And you should analyze the quotation in order to show why it proves your thesis statement.

Module 06: Critical ThinkingEuro Disneyland (100 Points) This week you were introduced to several decision-making tools in the course content. Using the Decision Matrix Analysis along with the Decision Matrix Analysis video, make the following decisions relative to the case study about Euro Disneyland (p. 262):The first section of your paper should be an explanation of this process and how you decided on each of the factors in the matrix. List all of the cultural challenges posed by Disney’s expansion into Europe. (Side of matrix.) Next, list the variables that influenced these challenges. (Top of matrix.) Decide on a score (1-5) for each of these challenges according to the relative importance of the factors. Multiply each of these scores by 2 to find the weighted scores for each option/factor combination. Next, respond to the following questions in the rest of your essay: Using Hofstede’s four cultural dimensions as a point of reference noted in the case, what are some of the main cultural differences between the United States and France? In managing its Euro Disneyland operations, what are three mistakes that the company made? Explain your response with examples. As a conclusion, reflect on your overall thoughts on this case.

I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Throughout your life, you have been conditioned to respond to certain stimuli in certain ways. This is known as operant conditioning. Operant conditioning is the type of learning in which the consequences of a behavior influence whether an individual will act in the same way in the future.Even if there was not a clear behavior plan, the principles of operant conditioning have helped shape your life. In operant conditioning, you learn the relationship between your own behavior and reinforcing or punishing consequences from your environment. You may also learn conditions (antecedents) where consequences are more or less likely to occur.For this Discussion, you will analyze the fundamental principles of operant conditioning and how it has impacted your life. Additionally, you analyze how behavioral psychological theory (e.g., antecedents, reinforcements, punishment) is applied to condition behavior. As you read this week’s Learning Resources, try to identify times in your life when operant conditioning clearly played a part in your learning.To PrepareConsider how terminology of operant conditioning relates to specific behaviors.Think about how your parents reinforced or punished you when you were growing up, and how those acts influenced how you behaved.Consider how situations in your life today contribute to your behavior. Are you more or less likely to do something when a certain person is around?Review the interactive media in the Learning Resources, “Operant Conditioning Terms.” Post a description of a scenario that illustrates the application of operant conditioning in your life and explain how behavioral theory (e.g., antecedents, reinforcements, punishment) was applied to condition behavior in the scenario you posted. Explain how the antecedent condition facilitated or inhibited the target behavior discussed.
