social initiatives or engagement

discussion and response precious

please respond to the following based on initial submission below:

Thank you for your IQ. You have made some good issues in your post, especially as you highlight that "focus of any micro finance should be very balance – making profit as well as responding to societal need for credit in equal measure". This is very true in that the micro finance structure and recapitailization is a self-regenerated capital structure. There is need that as the micro finance is people-oriented (Khavul, 2010), the business operation should be able to sustain itself and also service other credit needs too through acceptable margin or interest rate.

In your IQ conclusion, you assert that "the only way to succeed is emerging market is to engage the societal issues and not just focus on the profit and the shareholders. Any engagement in social action should not be viewed as a risk but an opportunity to do business". I quite agree with that, that social actions should be viewed as opportunity to the business even though it is always with a long-term benefits. Most of the businesses that are investing and engaging in social initiatives have doing so in view of long-term returns that the business will stand to gain. That is why good number of businesses have to develop or engage in projects /social initiatives along their operations.

On the other hand I will not totally agree with you that "the only way to succeed in emerging market is to engage in social issues". In my view, social issues are not the conditions to business success in totality, rather they may contribute in terms of organizational image and brand name / loyalty. Social initiative is not often pursued as competitive advantage but organizations engage and respond based on their degree of appreciation and determination to to contribute to societal wellbeing.

So in my view, social initiatives or engagement can promote business wellbeing but not altogether as a condition as "the only way to succeed" in emerging market. Your views.

Parenting Practices Over Generations

Paper instructions:
Assignment 3: Parenting Practices Over Generations

You learned in your readings that parenting practices and techniques used to shape child development are influenced by many factors including culture, socioeconomic status, non-normative life events, and cohort effects. To understand cohort effects, consider that the experiences of a child growing up in the 1940s are different in many ways from a child growing up today.

Read the article: Kotchick, B.A. & Forehand, R. (2002). Putting parenting in perspective: A discussion of the contextual factors that shape parenting practices. Journal of Child and Family Studies, 11(3), 255-269.

Synthesize what you learned in your readings as well as the above article to address the following:

Using the chart/table below, list at least 4 parenting practices of 3 generations. You can describe parenting practices of 3 generations of your family members, another family you interview, or general practices of generations based on research you find. For example, how did each generation address issues such as education, extracurricular activities, breastfeeding, sleeping arrangements, religious involvement, etc.? Include brief demographic information (e.g., sex, age, region of the country) Note: 3 different generations means 3 different time periods, not 3 different people.
Now review the chart/table and discuss the following:
How were the parenting practices similar and different between generations?
Explain the concept of cohort effects. What cohort effects (e.g. historical or social events) might have influenced the parenting practices of each generation you described?
Identify and explain contextual factors (other than cohort effects) described by Kotchick and Forehand (2002) that might have influenced the parenting practices of each generation you described.
Why is it important to understand contextual factors, including cohort effects, when researching differences in parenting practices?

In defense of prejudice

Paper instructions:
Write an academic summary of Rauch’s “In Defense of Prejudice.” You will need to read to make sure you understand the writer’s point/thesis. In drafting and revising your assignment, remember that a summary is a compressed version of an original text, based on the observations, connections and inferences you make through close reading and annotation. Your goal is to communicate the gist of the writer’s main point, and to recognize his ideas based on connecting his points. Do not follow the organization of Rauch’s original essay. Your intro paragraph should include all his main points. Then, organize the body paragraphs of your summary by paraphrasing and moving from the most important, largest idea and ending with the least important. Also do not include your own opinions and ideas. No commentary or evaluation allowed in summary

Two Parts of a Whole Person

Paper instructions:
Assignment 2: Two Parts of a Whole Person

It is important to consider factors influencing physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development long before the baby arrives. In this discussion, you will examine the relative roles of genetics and the environment. Environmental effects on development include both macrocultural and microcultural influences. Macrocultural influences are the broader influences on a child’s development, such as mass media, religious denomination, societal rules, or educational norms. Microcultural influences are those on a small scale, such as family eating habits, traditions, hierarchical structures, and routines.

Based on the principles of behaviorism, John B. Watson argued, tongue-in-cheek, that he could take a healthy baby and make him into a lawyer, doctor, or thief. Sandra Scarr argued that often a child’s genetic predispositions override the influence of the environment. Based on what you have learned so far about development, select a well-known movie that addresses the nature-versus-nurture question. Some examples are: The Blind Side, Rudy, and A Beautiful Mind. With reference to the film, respond to the following:

How influential is the role of genetics in the child’s development?
What about the role of the environment, temperament, and teratogenics, among others?
Do you agree with Watson, Scarr, both, or neither?

Support your arguments with research, citing sources.
