This class will aid in building a foundation for ethical business behavior that can be applied in many settings. Our first Case Assignment lets you flex critical thinking and debate skills.

In the workplace, employees must often support a professional point of view that may be contrary to personal beliefs. This assignment challenges students to understand “both sides of the fence” on hot-button issues and to consider all points of view. Both sides of the argument should be equally powerful so that the reader is unaware of the position that you espouse.

• Gun control
• Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

Part Two

Read Historical Legacies: A Model Linking Africa’s Past to its Current Underdevelopment (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Between 1400 and 1900, the African continent experienced four simultaneous slave trades.

• The trans-Saharan slave trade: slaves were taken from south of the Saharan desert and shipped to Northern Africa.
• The Red Sea slave trade: slaves were taken from inland of the Red Sea and shipped to the Middle East and India.
• Indian Ocean slave trade: slaves were taken from inland of the Red Sea and shipped to the Middle East and India.

The trans-Atlantic slave trade: slaves were shipped from West Africa to the Caribbean and the Americas.

The trans-Saharan, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean slave trades dated from the late Medieval period and acted as the basis for the more well known trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Assess how the legacy of the slave trade, and intervening imperialist ventures by European nations, has led to the relative underdevelopment of Africa today. How did these twin legacies affect African society, culture, and politics?
