  • Social Interaction and Geographical Distance in the Internet Era

    $5.00

    ABSTRACT

    The  Internet  revolution  has  made  long-distance  communication  dramatically faster, easier, and cheaper than ever before. This, it has been argued, has decreased the importance of geographic proximity in social interactions, transforming our world into a “global village” with a “borderless society”. We argue for the opposite: while technology  has  undoubtedly  increased  the  overall  level  of  communication,  this increase has been most pronounced for local social ties. We show that the volume of electronic communications is inversely proportional to geographic distance, following a Power  Law.  We directly  study  the importance of  physical  proximity  in  social interactions by analyzing  the spatial dissemination of new baby names. Counter- intuitively, and in line with the above argument, the importance of geographic proximity has dramatically increased with the internet revolution.

  • The Rude Poet Presents Himself: Breton, Spenser, and Bad Poetry

    $5.00

    This essay explores how Elizabethan poets transform conven- tional gestures of self-deprecation to negotiate the competing demands of rhetoric, the classics, social status, and ethics. To concede (or at least defer) the question of evaluation opens up space for experiment, for what Breton and Spenser both refer to as newness. Because the terms of such self-criticism blur dis- tinctions between shortcomings of style and of substance, they become a vocabulary for close-reading poetry’s action in the world. Thus Spenser uses terms like “rude,” “baseness,” “rough,” and “dischorde” to wrestle with style but also poetic identity and purpose: tracing relationships among his archaic diction and colloquial forms, his interpretive difficulty, his plainspoken didacticism, and his sense of the value of poetry.

  • The Case Study of Joe

    $2.00

    What ethical theory supports how you think Joe should react to this situation?

    Part 1

    View this problem scenario A to learn more about Bill and Joe’s relationship. This scenario provides key information in helping formulate answers for assignments in Phases 1 and 2.

    You are having a lunch meeting with Bill Bateman, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Peninsula Hotel chain, and Joe Smith, the sales rep for UWEAR. During the meeting, Bill raises the topic of the upcoming contract renewal.

    “I’m glad you brought that up, Bill,” Joe says. “We’re really looking forward to working with you again this year. I was happy that we were able to reach an agreement last year, and it’s been a pleasure working with you and your team.”

    Joe, like most of the UWEAR and PALEDENIM employees, is feeling the pressure to perform, fearing cutbacks and layoffs because of the merger. Sales have been down, and profit margins are very slim. Last year, Joe was reprimanded when he signed the contract with Peninsula Hotels because the price that he offered was so low. However, he had no choice because his competitor, Threads4U, was also a very shrewd bidder, and Joe would have lost the contract otherwise.

    “Well, it has been good working with you too, Joe. I’ve really enjoyed our friendship, and the contract was very beneficial for our company,” Bill continues, “The reason I wanted to talk about the contract today is because I just got a call this week from Samantha over at Threads4U. She’s offering to beat your price by 10% to win back our business. What are you going to do to counter that offer?”

    Answer the following:

    • What should Joe do in this situation?
    • What ethical theory supports how you think Joe should react to this situation?
    • Why would you use this theory?
    • What might others with a different view than yours say in this situation?
    • How would you refute those opposing perspectives?
    • Is there a compromise or creative solution to this problem? If so, what is it? Why is it feasible?
