Create a 9 pages page paper that discusses an appropriate supply chain model for a firm. There are many different models that have been introduced as viable supply chain ideologies, all designed to be cross-functional, address downstream and upstream components, and maximize operational efficiencies. All of these different supply chain models are intended to build firm resilience, or the capability of the supply chain to adapt and respond to change (Wieland and Wallenburg 2013). especially for firms maintaining a customer-centric business model where evolution is constant and a legitimate business requirement to ensure an elongated industry life cycle.

In today’s industries in which a firm maintains substantial competition in a competitively-saturated market, the aforementioned resilience can theoretically provide a firm with competitive advantages if the firm’s chosen model of the supply chain provides cost advantages and improves total organizational efficiency. Randall, Morgan and Morton (2003) assert that this competitive advantage can be achieved for companies with superior supply chain responsiveness underpinning adaptability for unpredictable demand and achieve the ability to triumph over market uncertainty at a cost lower than competitors.

However, the idea of supply chain responsiveness is still conceptual, supported by very little existing empirical research addressing adaptability and responsiveness and their relationship to competitive advantage (Sukati, et al. 2012). With such a significant gap in the research literature, achieving malleability and responsiveness makes it difficult for a firm to determine which specific supply chain model would be most appropriate for achieving competitive advantages. Hence, this proposed research study intends to explore two different models of the supply chain, an agile system and a vertical integration model, to determine whether these models may potentially provide a firm with competitive advantages and improve responsiveness and adaptability concurrently.&nbsp.

Create a 4 pages page paper that discusses analysis of black like me by howard griffin. Griffin first confronts his assumptions about race when he attends school in France as a teenager. The experience he had while in France caused a change in the attitudes he held about white supremacy as a Texan and inspired him to seek racial equality and an end to racial segregation. Race is usually taken to include the skin colour and appearance of a person. This is why when Griffin decides to ‘change’ his race, all he has to do is cut off his hair and change his skin colour. Upon looking at the mirror, he feels like he can no longer be identified with the race to which he belongs and therefore feels like he has lost his identity. This goes to show that race goes beyond the appearance to the self identity of a person. Changing his appearance causes him to feel like a stranger and as he explains, he does not feel any sense of kinship with the person to whom he has been transformed. This is because while he may look black on the outside, he is white (Griffin 1961). Another aspect of race is the culture and socialisation that one is exposed to. Race also has to do with the perceptions that are held by the society. The blacks are treated like second class citizens by the whites. The blacks have however, formed a deep sense of belonging within their community and they treat each other with respect. As Griffin learns when he is black, he finds acceptance among the black community but when he is white, they (the blacks) look at him with suspicion. This shows how race can affect the perception that people hold towards each other. Race also influences the belief and value system that the individual holds. While Griffin is white, he feels that he can identify with the suffering of the black people. He is opposed to the injustices that members of his own race perpetrate on the black people, and is also opposed to the justifications that they (the whites) give for their actions. Griffin is not the only one who is opposed to the racial injustices that are meted on the blacks. His friend, a newspaper editor (P.D East) is also opposed to the injustices and uses his work to preach against it despite the opposition that he faces from the predominantly white society(Griffin, 1961). The fundamental attribution error can be explained as the tendency to disregard the external factors and overestimate the internal factors when one is explaining a person’s behaviour. This is because in most cases, people pay more attention to the situation and disregard the individual. This is most common where a person whose behaviour is being explained is unknown. After Griffin’s story is published and he is invited to many televisions shows, he receives a lot of congratulatory messages. He also receives threats on his life and on his family to a point where he decides to move his family to Mexico. Before moving to Mexico, he talks to a little black boy and takes time to explain to him that the racist attitudes that people hold are because of the social conditions in which they live. The racist attitudes as he explains do not have anything to do with the inherent quality of people. This is the case when passing off as a black person, the black people treat him with kindness but when he is white, he is looked upon with hostility and suspicion.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Is There an Inherent and Morally Required Connection Between Love and Sex. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The paper provides a brief philosophic discussion of what love and sex are and reevaluates the significance of the love-sex connection in philosophy. Keywords: sex, love, philosophy, connection, morality. Is There an Inherent or Morally Required Connection between Sex and Love? Philosophy is one of the most interesting sources of information about reality and life. Philosophy provides a unique channel for self-reflection and analysis of the most controversial aspects of the social, economic, and cultural reality. The value of philosophy is not only in the questions it raises but in the answers it provides and the analytical and systematic nature of the philosophic method (Halwani, 2010). It would be fair to say that philosophy reacts to the emerging issues, to understand their nature and provide possible solutions. The topic of sex and love has long been a matter of hot philosophic debate. Most world religions, especially in the western world, treat sex without love as inacceptable and immoral. In the meantime, the postmodern world is moving toward greater rationality in all life decisions, including sex. Sex provides physical pleasure and creates an atmosphere of intimacy, for which many people long. In the postmodern reality, there is no required connection between love and sex. there is nothing immoral in pursuing sexual desire, if it is mutual. love can add intensity to sexual relations but it is not mandatory in physical contacts among humans. Humans consider themselves as higher creatures. They have mind, cognition, and language which no animals have. They also have a unique capacity to be in love and love others. This is why love is often believed to be a mandatory component in the sexual relations among humans. However, the connection between love and sex is not simple but multidimensional. It involves a broad range of feelings, from pure sexual desire, to the feeling of victory, intimacy, and love. In the postmodern world ruled by rationality and reason, love gives place to other mundane considerations, and sex without love is no longer considered immoral. Yet, to clarify why the connection between love is neither required nor relevant, we first need to understand the nature of love and the philosophic implications of sex and sexual desire. Sex remains one of the most controversial aspects of philosophy, morality, and ethics. Thousands of people keep to a belief that sexual desire is immoral, if it is not linked to attraction and love. Others claim that sex is empty without feeling. Whatever the reason, the nature of sex, especially plain sex, in philosophy raised different interpretations. Basically, sexual love was always considered as inferior to platonic love (Goldenberg et al., 1999). The latter presupposed that people who engaged in sexual intercourse had greater moral goals, namely procreation, and based their sexual desires on the constant exchange of other, non-sexual beliefs, interests and experiences. Religions in all parts of the world supported this view, trying to equate the nature of chastity with the meaning of virtue (Goldenberg et al., 1999). In the non-western world, sex is favored and desired in marriage but not beyond it. Indian and African cultures treat sex as an indispensable component of people’s daily lives.
