Pretend you are a member of Congress, representing the Dallas area in 1918, planning to run for re-election in November 1918. Write a letter to the editor of The Dallas Morning News explaining why Dallas-area voters should vote for you. Remember that in 1917 Congress passed a declaration of war against Germany, passed the Selective Service Act to draft young men to serve in the war, and passed the Eighteenth Amendment which called for Prohibition of the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcohol. How did you vote on each of these issues and why? In addition, in the next two years, Congress is expected to debate a possible Nineteenth Amendment, which would give women the right to vote. How will you vote on this issue, and why? Why should Texas voters agree with your stances on these issues and why should they re-elect you in November 1918? Please use specific examples from the textbook, videos and/or class discussion forum to inform your argument.

Case Study: Planning for Growth

Kelly’s Sandwich Stop is one of the best-known and most loved
sandwich concessions in town. In business for about five years, she sells
sandwiches and other lunch items made from locally produced food from her mobile
food trailer. Kelly’s passion and talent for creating reliably fresh, tasty
lunch fare popular among a business clientele (largely employees and shoppers)
has made her small enterprise a booming success.

In the last year, Kelly added a bicycle-towed concession that travels to
different strategic locations in town, selling her popular sandwiches to
customers who work beyond walking distance of Kelly’s
Sandwich Stop. She now has a total of four employees, all
part-time, working both concessions. Because she caters to urban customers, her
concessions operate on week days from 10 am to 2 pm. To promote word-of-mouth
advertising, Kelly uses Facebook to publish her daily menus and the locations of
the bicycle concession.

As a sole proprietor, Kelly has been pleased with her lunch business success.
Now it’s time to get serious about the future of her business. In the short and
medium term, she wants to see it grow into a potentially more lucrative
enterprise, implementing a greater variety of food products and services, and
increasing her competitive edge in the region. Ever the ardent entrepreneur,
Kelly’s long-term dream is to develop her creative, health-conscious culinary
skills and services into a wider clientele outside the region.

An opportunity has arisen to lease restaurant space about 10 miles away from
her trailer concession location, close to a mall and the suburbs and nearer to
her local food producers. Kelly has jumped at the chance. While she has hired
professional business consultants to help her set up the space, design the menu,
and implement the opening of the restaurant, she must also consider the short-
and long-term financial, HR, and management needs of such an expansion. Kelly is
particularly sensitive to her relationship to her customers, employees, and the
community.

Stories and History

Throughout history and various civilizations, stories play and have played roles in shaping individuals views of themselves and of their civilization.

Examples might be – King Arthur, and the retelling of said story by Britains, and its impact on them as a ‘nation’ and individually. The Aztecs and Mayans (and others) believed in various a sundry gods who lived in the earth and or sky, and were part of and needed human agency to satisfy part or all of their existence. These stories are told and retold to successive ages, with various purposes.

The Japanese have origin stories, as do the Chinese, and every culture. Within those stories lie other stories told by parents to children for some reason – whether to scare, educate, or inform their children, and successive generations. Gilgamesh and the myth origins / story of the flower may have given you a new outlook on life or living and death.

Your job in this assignment is to tell me a story that has affected your life, whether factual or mythical. The story will have some connection to an historical story (it may now be more cultural than historical). The story can be from any period of history and any culture (eastern or western).

Be specific about what part of the story impacted your life. Don’t simply tell me it ‘impacted you’ – retell the story, and then explain it to me, and its affect on you or on a culture/family.
