· Part I: Key Case Summary This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster. Main Critical Issues (the list): · India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population. · The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices. · Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed. · Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant · If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance · Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break). · The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident. · The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents. · Part II: Key Stakeholders: The following are the stakeholders in the case: The Union Carbide’s Corporation Stockholders, The Bhopal’s population, The Indian Government, The Bombay Stock Exchange, The Union Carbide’s workers from de Indian subsidiary “UCIL”. The workers from Union Carbide headquarter in Connecticut, The Board of Directors of Union Carbide Headquarter, and The Board of Directors from Union Carbide’s Indian subsidiary.

· Performance Critique Assignment · During the first month of class, you are required to attend a theatrical production and to respond to it in the form of a performance critique (due February 29). A performance critique is a short essay in which you describe and offer your perspective on the specific choices that were made in a production. For this particular assignment, you are asked to develop an argument about how the production choices reflected (or failed to clearly reflect) the play’s central message. · This piece of writing is uniquely tied to your own experience as a spectator in the theatre. Your critique should engage with the production as performance. This is different from doing a simple literary analysis of the main themes in the play. You should explore how these ideas are communicated through specific scenic choices – acting, directing, design, use of space, etc. – and make an argument about how these choices contributed to the production as a whole. Did they further the audience’s understanding of the message it was trying to convey? Did they make sense within the world they were trying to create? Was the text more alive because of them?   · · *If there is a director’s note in the program, this will be particularly useful in ascertaining what the director’s intentions were or why he/she chose to stage this play in particular.   · · A Performance Critique Looks Like: · · Format: 4 pages, 12-point font, double-spaced, 1” margins. Consulting other sources is not recommended (and you should definitely NOT consult other reviews of the performance), but if there is a secondary source that you feel provides important supporting information for your argument, you may use it if you include proper MLA citation.   · · Ticket: Staple your ticket stub to the back page of your paper.   · · Description: Give the audience a sense of the play. Include information about the name of the production, location, notable cast members, etc. Also include a very brief description of the main action, and/or the driving character relationships, and/or the genre (period piece, musical, etc.). When describing the action of the play, use the present tense.   · · Argument: You should move far beyond saying simply whether you liked or disliked the play. Be sure to develop a clear thesis about what you think the production company was attempting to accomplish and whether they were successful.  · · Specific Examples: Remember to provide specific examples to back up your argument. Your critique should help readers "visualize" the play. Provide relevant and evocative details. You will likely want to address several of the following elements: Acting (were the characters believable? Were they supposed to be?), Directing (Did there seem to be a unifying concept behind the production? How was that concept realized? Did the different elements of the production fit together?), Costume/Set/Lighting/Sound Design (H.

· Please read the following article excerpt, and view the video clips below. Listen carefully in order to understand as much of the Spanish as you can, using the images and contextual clues to help you get a sense of the gist of the video content. · Next, write a 200-word response in English to the issues raised. Make sure to address the following questions: 1. What is syncretism and how does it differ from the concept of the melting pot? 2. How is Latin America’s (specifically Brazil and Cuba) experience with racial and cultural mixture different from that of the U.S.? 3. Can you give a couple of examples of syncretism in your own culture or in the U.S.? Article SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART (If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.) The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments. My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past… Current Discussions of Mixture Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case… Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

· Per the e-Activity, analyze one (1) of the core tenets established in the National Infrastructure Protection Plan. Take a position on how closely following this tenet could have resulted in better protection of critical infrastructure during Hurricane Katrina. Provide a rationale for your response. TENET #5. Collaborating To Manage Risk The national effort to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience depends on the ability of public and private sector critical infrastructure owners and operators to make risk-informed decisions on the most effective solutions available when allocating limited resources in both steady-state and crisis operations. Therefore, risk management is the cornerstone of the National Plan and is relevant at the national, regional, State, and local levels. National, regional, and local resilience depend upon creating and maintaining sustainable, trusted partnerships between the public and private sector. While individual entities are responsible for managing risk to their organization, partnerships improve understanding of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences and how to manage them through the sharing of indicators and practices and the coordination of policies, response, and recovery activities. Critical infrastructure partners manage risks based on diverse commitments to community, focus on customer welfare, and corporate governance structures. Risk tolerances will vary from organization to organization, as well as sector to sector, depending on business plans, resources, operating structure, and regulatory environments. They also differ between the private sector and the government based on underlying constraints. Different entities are likely to have different priorities with respect to security investment as well as potentially differing judgments as to what the appropriate point of risk tolerance may be. Private sector organizations generally can increase investments to meet their risk tolerances and provide for their community of stakeholders, but investments in security and resilience have legitimate limits. The government must provide for national security and public safety and operates with a different set of limits in doing so. Finding the appropriate value proposition among the partners requires understanding these differing perspectives and how they may affect efforts to set joint priorities. Within these parameters, critical infrastructure security and resilience depend on applying risk management practices of both industry and government, coupled with available resources and incentives, to guide and sustain efforts. This section is organized based on the critical infrastructure risk management framework, introduced in the 2006 NIPP and updated in this National Plan. The updates help to clarify the components and streamline the steps of the framework, depicted in Figure 3 below. Specifically, the three elements of critical infrastructure (physical, cyber, and human) are explicitly i.

Topic #1: The Cost of Capital The cost of capital refers to the “cost” a company must incur in order to use funds towards a new project or investment. The funds may come from lenders by borrowing the funds, by financing equity, or by selling bonds or assets. The cost of capital is expressed as an annual interest rate that the company will be charged on the capital funds. Therefore, this is the minimum return a company must be striving for when undertaking a new project, making a purchase, or making an investment. Otherwise, they are simply losing money. The cost of capital is used as the minimum rate of return that the project must achieve and is also the rate that is used in a discounted cash flow analysis. If the return of future net cash flows on an investment or project are greater than the cost of capital, then the investment or project is worthwhile to the business. For example, if a project generates a return of 20% and the cost of capital was estimated at 15%, then this project has added value to the business. In addition, the NPV formula can be used to compare multiple projects using different costs of capital. For instance, Project A and Project B compared by using 10%, 15%, and 20% costs of capital. This can allow businesses to see how investing more or less capital would affect the outcome of the NPV. Just as you can compare these different costs of capital, you can also add the element of risk into your calculations by increasing the cost of capital to reflect a riskier project or investment. Very simply put, if investment B is riskier than investment A, then you could compare them with B having a cost of capital at r = 15% and A having a cost of capital at r= 10% - therefore adjusting for one project/investment being riskier than the other. Interestingly, there has been much discussion and debate over how companies set their cost of capital rates. In the case of large Fortune 500 companies, they spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year. If they miscalculate the cost of capital rate on an investment or project with a difference of even 1%, this could mean a gain or loss of billions of dollars depending on which way the value was incorrectly estimated. For example, if a company plans to invest $52 million dollars into a new project that is estimated to bring in $10.5 million per year over the next seven years, and the company incorrectly estimates the cost of capital by 1%, then you can see by the table below the affect this small percentage pot.
