the writer from this era that is most widely read, but at the time of his writing he was no where near as popular as Emerson. What does that mean? And why do you think that’s true?

Hello all. I have your next writing assignment ready to go (it will count as a short essay assignment). So by now you have read a lot of Emerson. And a lot of you in your essays said that he is a very confusing, and at times frustrating, writer. I totally agree. We’ll be reading more of him, but we’ll also be transitioning to other writers, most specifically Henry David Thoreau (who is much, much easier to understand). So this assignment is going to be a pretty straightforward one. The prompt is:
What do you think of Emerson?
I want you to be VERY specific here. Don’t just say he’s confusing–tell me why, and tell me the implications of that. Many people have said that Emerson is confusing on purpose, and that is a kind of unkindness to his readers (I don’t disagree). So talk about that kind of stuff. You can write whatever you want in any kind of way you want; but again, be VERY specific. The more specific the better. Use quotes, then talk about this quotes. Use Thoreau to help you explain Emerson, etc.
This will be our first foray into the writings of Thoreau; so I want you to do something very specific as you read. Think about Emerson while reading Thoreau, and compare the two writers’ style and compare how the different writers effect you differently. Many people have said that Thoreau is merely an Emerson copycat, so I want you to think about that. I want you to come up with a conclusion about whether or not you agree with that, and what it means if you do (or if you don’t). Thoreau is, without question, the writer from this era that is most widely read, but at the time of his writing he was no where near as popular as Emerson. What does that mean? And why do you think that’s true?

This assignment has two parts. Complete both parts.

Part I

Research the population demographics in the area or state where you live.

Use the following guidelines for your research:

  • Look up government reference sites such as the US Census Bureauhttp://www.census.gov/.
  • Conduct an Internet search using keywords such as ‘demographics for YourCity.’

Complete the following:

  • List and describe the population demographics. Be sure to cover gender, race, national origin, age, disability, and religion. Create a table to present this information.
  • Explain how these demographics determine or affect the cultural dynamics where you live. For example, types of restaurants, specialty grocery items, entertainment offerings, public housing requirements, and education offerings.

Part II

  • Choose a business in your area and explain how the cultural dynamics might affect the way that business would conduct business.
  • Explain the considerations for leaders of the business you chose in managing the cultural diversity in terms of customer service and employee expectations. For example, one consideration might be to have customer service agents who speak Spanish in an area where there is a large Spanish-speaking population.

Give reasons in support. Be sure to apply relevant management principles.

Write a 1–2-page report in Word format. Include the table with the population demographics. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention:
