English Essay
Since my interest in studying abroad as a child, I always wanted to learn English because it is the most powerful language in the world. English is known as the lingua franca, commonly used by speakers with different native languages. I made it a point to learn English even though I lived in Saudi Arabia where Arabic is very dominant. I started to learn English at home at the basic level where I would be taught by a tutor. I enhanced my English language study in high school where I learned grammar and basic aspects of the language. It was difficult to master the language because I could not practice in the environment that was almost entirely Arabic. With the dream to study in the United States, I planned to do professional course in English before going to college because I needed proficiency in the language since it was the language of instruction in America.
When I moved to the United States, I took professional English studies immediately because I needed it before going to college. It took me ten months for formal English study to perfect my language skills and I was ready to pursue my academic dreams. Besides the English course, the American environment in general and the class in particular greatly helped me learn faster and better because I would not just learn grammar but also to converse with people and the nuances in the language. I have spent eight years in the United States, which means I have interacted in an English-speaking environment for more than adequate time to pursue an advanced in the language. I am therefore proficient in both speaking and writing English and also perfectly understand it. Due to the fact that I am not a native speaker of English, I have always made it a point since I came to America to continue learning by reading widely and writing as much as I can to be as capable as possible in communicating in English.

Global Stratification
Email [email protected] for originally written papers.
Global stratification is the hierarchical set up of people and groups in the societies all over the world in terms of socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic status is the measure of economic and social statues of a person and where they lie in the class structure in the society. Societies all over the world reflect global stratification which puts the poor and vulnerable at the bottom and the strong and wealthy at the top. Global stratification can be examined from three levels namely; micro-level analysis which looks at the influence a person wields in the society leading to inequality; meso-level analysis where a person’s connection to organizations and other entities can lead to inequality; and macro-level analysis where international economic systems mold individuals resources and benefits thus creating inequality. Examples of how global stratification show themselves is slavery which even though is thought to have been eradicated, still continues to thrive in some part of the world.
Here is definitely a link between sex tourism and global stratification because as shown in the case, many people condemned to sex tourism are in the lower strata of the society thus making the powerless and vulnerable. The powerful and the wealthy can then take advantage of them in form of sex tourism. There are many aspects to the stratification of sex tourism, Most of it occurs in poor countries among the poor people and it is even worse that children are the ones targeted and not much is being done by the authorities to stop it. The classification system puts the sex tourists above the child victims and other poor prostitutes because they have money. From the pattern, most sex tourists are rich and come from rich countries which are an example of macro-level stratification where international economic systems grant individuals advantage over other individuals from poor countries. Prostitutes in poor countries resort to this activity to earn money as a livelihood while the sex tourists do it as a form of leisure. First, they can afford to travel all over the world then still spend money for sex with prostitutes.
Sex tourism is more globally stratified because the poor people acting as prostitute are subjugated by the rich and powerful. In the micro-level analysis of stratification, the powerful have influence in the society and they can wield this influence to get what they want. Rich people especially tourists in poor countries have too much power due to the amount of money they have and the control they have on the local authorities based on their races and the countries they come from. This is linked to the meso-level of analysis where the influential are able to compromise the organization and institutions like law enforcement entities. It has been known that the powerful people have used bribes and even threats to circumvent the law in sex tourism especially that involving children thus firmly maintaining the inequality between the rich and the poor and vulnerable.
Modernization theory is used in sociology to explain the process in which a society changes from traditional norms and systems to modern ones (Andersen, & Taylor, 2007). Modernization argues that more traditional societies can be modernized using the methods that other modernized societies used in order to achieve economic development and general advancement. Modernization theory has its own weaknesses in terms of exposure it brings to traditional societies and the cultural shock that these societies experience (Andersen, & Taylor, 2007). For instance, sex tourism is as a result of modernization aided by economic wellness of people who travel the world looking for prostitutes in places where it is legal to have sex with underage people or where the laws are too weak and are not enforced.
Many poor countries experiencing the brunt of sex tourism are just coming out of traditional societies and the sudden modernization in the sense that they are capable to earn money by selling their bodies raises a contentious issue of whether it is moral and whether modernization of societies is as good as purported by the civilized societies. Modernization was made possible by urbanization and industrialization. The rise of industries created economic development by providing jobs and making people capable of purchasing commodities and services. In the West, this was when prostitution boomed as miners would pay for sex with prostitutes who could not work in the mines. Urban centers formed around industries and the prostitution continued and morphed into a huge industry albeit underground.
The problem of sex tourism can be viewed from the angle of modernization because the enablers are all technologies and components of modernization like transportation, money, urban areas and systems. Sex tourism like in Thailand is concentrated in urban centers because these are the places where tourists visit and the prostitutes also coalesce here to ply their trade. Traffickers and peddlers of child prostitution are capable to use modern ways to facilitate their activities all over the world mainly through corruption that involves bribing officials. The trend is noticeable where most sex tourists come from modernized societies and countries like the United States, Germany, Japan, Australia and other European countries. Sex tourism also often occurs in less modernized societies like in Asia such as Thailand and Africa such as Tanzania and Kenya. The perils of modernization include permanently damaged generation of young boys and girls engaging in these activities and the spread of HIV/AIDS. The authorities are often slow to respond because of the economic benefits of these underground industries in form of taxes and expenditure of tourists mainly because the society is run on modernized systems like capitalism.

The Glucometer Case
Email [email protected] to handle this case analysis
The Glucometer Case
Preamble and Tips for Case Analysis – These are applicable for many cases in the semester not only the one below
Always think in terms of All the 4P’s: Product, Price, Promotion and Place (Distribution)
1. Define the customer/target market and the product (Eg. you have a building it can be sold- then the building is the product; its rooms can be rented –then the customer has changed and you are selling a service not a good; it can be made into a hotel-both the product and customer have changed. Also, if relevant, think in terms of product portfolios rather than products if possible.
2. Price –what is it, how widely do you think of the term? Eg. Price of building or rent? Price after realtor commissions or ‘intermediary earnings’; final price to consumer; realized net earnings of seller etc.
3. Promotion- Have you considered all types of promotion and their suitability –advertising, sales promotion, publicity, personal selling
4. Place/Distribution – channel intermediaries, channel conflict, vertical marketing systems, channel control, loyalty and dominance
Data Analysis: Always see whether you have used the ‘data’ and if no data is available, can you make a simulation using ‘assumed data’ that will help you to better understand or present the problem or its solution approach? WHEREVER POSSIBLE ALWAYS MAKE EXPLANATORY CALCULATIONS AND SHOW THEM.
Strategic Thinking – Analysis and thought should be both short term (managerial) and long term (strategic). Very often this translates into ‘entry’ and ‘exit’ strategies.
Case/Situation:
A new medical device has been developed to measure the blood sugar level. This is expected to be used widely by diabetics for ‘self-monitoring.’ The product is non-invasive, yet is accurate and is expected to substitute existing products in the market, particularly the diabetic strips that cost $1 per use, and involve a prick using a lancet. The current popular technology used by most consumers is the diabetic strip meter, where the strips cost just a dollar each, and the reusable meter has a low cost of $20 only; further the user needs to ‘prick’ himself –not very pleasant!
The new firm ABC has a patent for a new technological medical device referred to as a Glucometer, that expires after 4 years.
The New Device: The new Glucometer is iris response based (actually uses the iris in the eye); its manufactured cost is $3000 (for the machine), and annual maintenance costs for the machine average $500 per year. The machine does not require an attendant or any material inputs. All the patient has to do is look into a viewer and the device measures blood sugar levels using iris examination- the machine’s instrumentation, gives the results on a digital display panel. The simple looking machine looks like a small computer with a two eye viewer into which the user looks.
Questions to be answered (Please answer all questions and number the Answers):
1. Suppose the Glucometer company is to sell the machine only to hospitals, and the company will maintain the Glucometer machine for the hospital for the first four years. A hospital, on an average, will use the machine 80 times a day, 300 days in a year. If this is the case, then suggest a price that the company should charge hospitals and justify your answer. What is the basis of your recommendation. (20 points)
2. Suppose the company realizes that it is more appropriate to sell the service of the machine rather than the machine itself. So it decides to install the machine like a health or blood pressure monitor in Walmart, Walgreens etc. and operate it like a vending machine, charging $ 1.00 per use. Assume that there are an average of 30 users per day, for 360 days in a year.
Now calculate (making any appropriate assumptions):
(a) The break-even level of demand for the machine. That is, calculate the minimum number of customers you require per day to break even i.e. at least not make a loss.
(b) If Walmart were to retain 70% of the revenues and the Glucometer firm receives 30% of the revenues then calculate the Net Return on Investment to the company for a typical installation charging $ 1.00 per use and an average of 30 users per day, for 360 days in a year.
(c) Calculate the pay-back period for an installation for the Glucometer company on the assumption that it receives 30% of the revenues. The pay-back period for the company is the period (number of days) in which the company should recover its initial investment (which is $3000 manufacturing cost).
(Question 2 carries 60 points)
3. Suggest a business strategy for the firm after four years –when the patent expires. In your answer discuss at least three alternative strategies, and explain your choice of your ‘ideal strategy.’ (Question 3 carries 20 points)

Deviance is Relative
Email [email protected] for originally written papers.
In sociology, deviance is relative means that there is no complete way of defining or considering an act as deviant. Deviance is looked at in relation to the social environment a person is in and the standards, norms and laws that they live by. Deviance is relative also because it varies across time and place. A deviant act may no longer be deviant as things change in the society or in a different social environment. Deviance itself in sociology can be defined as an action or behavior that is not in line with social norms and traditions or even laws such as crimes or taboos. Societal norms and rules are very important in maintaining social order. They are often supported by mores and folkways that have been developed over time in the society for various reasons. Therefore going against these norms and rules is considered deviant even though they may not apply in a different society or after some time.
A perfect example of deviance is relative is homosexuality in the American society. America is just learning to accept homosexuality as a lifestyle even though there are still many challenges for homosexual people but some specific areas are more accepting of gays than others. In the United States, it can be seen that urban settings are more accepting than rural settings of homosexuality due to the conservatism in the rural areas. Therefore, homosexuality which is considered a deviant behavior in some deeply conservative communities in the United States is not as deviant in urban and more liberal communities. Place and time have played a role in this deviance is relative.
Using marijuana is a deviant action and behavior in the United States looking at the general picture but this has been changing over the years to the point that a number of states have legalized medical marijuana and also for recreational purposes. In Mendocino County in California, marijuana industry is deviant because even though it is legal to grow small amounts of marijuana in California, it is still not considered a norm and many people in the society frowns upon it. Therefore, the industry has caused some members of the community in Mendocino to move out of the County because they say they have lost the county to pot. This view of marijuana has been reinforced by the fact that federally, marijuana is still illegal and nationally it is considered a deviant behavior in the society. Marijuana is too common in Mendocino to the point that school children go to school with their back packs smelling marijuana because of their parent’s pot plants. Coming from decades of criminalization and vilification of marijuana, the society feels that the way the drug has taken over the county since its legalization is not healthy for the society.
Mendocino as the epicenter of marijuana growth, it also had a big population of people who knew that using marijuana is a deviant behavior that is not only a crime according to the federal government but also a wrong behavior in the eyes of the society. The reason for the county venturing deep into the marijuana business was mainly for its economic benefits in the wake of failing industries and the massive profits that could be made from marijuana sales particularly due to the demand that existed all over the country.
The participation in the marijuana industry as in the Mendocino case can be evaluated using the conflict theory of deviance. This theory posits that deviant actions are as a result of social, political and economic disparities in the society that drives a group of people to engage in a deviant behavior as a way of protesting against the system or engaging in the deviant behavior to change their circumstances (Clinard, & Meier, 2015). From the video, Mendocino is suffering from collapsing industries such as those of lumbering and fishing and people who are economically disadvantaged are taking advantage of the state laws in order to grow marijuana. It is clear that since marijuana is still illegal nationally and not many people are allowed to grow it, the unique circumstances that have made Mendocino the haven for growing marijuana and the obvious demand nationally or even internationally has established it as a lucrative business making over $1 billion in the US market that is about $10 billion. For a county, that is a lot of money for one industry that is considered by many people as illegal.
More than 60% of the residents of Mendocino County are involved in one way of another in the marijuana industry perhaps as a protest against the national government and a way of meeting their economic needs. Even though the state laws allow residents to grow marijuana up to 15 plants, many people have taken advantage and grown bigger plantations especially inside their houses so that they may not be seen by law enforcement. It is difficult to enforce laws against marijuana when the law allows people to grow and use marijuana for medicinal and even recreational purposes. The conflict theory also comes makes sense considering that Mendocino county learned the marijuana trade and industry from the hippies from 1960s who were known to be anti-system and would want drugs to be legalized. This is classic case of conflict theory where a social group goes against not just the law but also the social norms as a way of making statement. It is even more intricate because the marijuana industry is deeply entrenched in most aspects of Mendocino County affecting even the children. Some of the conflict casualties are the couple who are leaving the county because they cannot take the marijuana influx anymore for fear of it affecting their children.
