How does Cambyses’ teaching complicate the teaching about the injustice of deception given to boys in Persia?

Explain Cambyses’ teaching to Cyrus regarding justice between friends and enemies in Book 1
Chapter 6 of the Education of Cyrus. How does Cambyses’ teaching complicate the teaching about the injustice of deception given to boys in Persia? Why is this more complicated teaching not given to the young? What do Persians have to have learned before they are given this more complicated teaching?
How do the Persians distinguish between friends and enemies? Is this distinction simply or altogether just? In what ways and to what extent does Cyrus break with the Persians’ customary conception of friends and enemies? What does this reveal about the limits and possibilities of peace and justice
among nations?

Introduction
From Manchester’s best kept fashion secret to the UK’s biggest own-brand, pureplay fashion retailer, boohoo has quickly evolved into a global fashion leader of a generation (https://www.boohoo.com). boohoo pride themselves on being social, inclusive, fashionable and fun. Their ambition is to be the leading online fashion brand for 16-24 year olds.
Since boohoo was established in 2009, the world has changed. boohoo is facing up to the future and are prioritising doing more for their clothes, their suppliers, their communities, and their impact on the environment. They’re looking hard both inside and outside their business to come up with a plan which will help them be READY FOR THE FUTURE as they pledge “Clothes Made Smarter, Suppliers On Better Terms, Our Business Taking Action”. There is work to be done, and they want to be open, upfront and frank on the progress they’re making.
boohoo are keen to change the narrative, starting with a call to use clearer language as they strive to become the next ‘regenerative’ brand in favour of adopting buzzwords such as ‘sustainability’.
The next chapter is still in the making, and this is where you come in…
The Brief boohoo has recently carried out research which seems to disprove the fast fashion stereotype that cheap clothes aren’t sustainable and that consumers don’t care about regeneration. For example:
• 55% of boohoo customers report wearing their clothes until they’re no longer wearable 
• 66% disagree that they buy clothes with the intention of wearing once
Your task is to carry out research to explore how the current boohoo consumer in the UK is responding to sustainability in terms of their current shopping habits. In order to achieve a more regenerative future, one
that helps consumers re-evaluate eco consciousness and drive more conscious consumption, boohoo have identified the following areas as key to their potential success:
Marketing Strategy and Insight
2
• Materials & design
• Packaging & waste
• Consumer perception
• Resale & recycling
Of the above, establish and justify one area that offers the most scope to future proof the business. You will need to consider any patterns of behaviour that are starting to emerge that could positively influence boohoo’s regeneration progress and enable their consumer to achieve ecological balance.
Create a three year marketing strategy plan which centres around your identified area of regeneration.
This should be clearly informed and underpinned by your key consumer insight combined with the information provided by boohoo.

Describe your chosen issues and show how it is related to the broader SDG

DESIGN THINKING FOR ENTERPRISE

Assignment 1: Written Assignment (60% of total)

Title: An exploration of problems using the 5W&H model

Focus: Choose one of the United Nations (UN) Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) from the following website URL.
URL: https://sdgs.un.org/goals

Summary: You will select and describe one SDG and link it to a range of issues that you are interested in, have read about or are aware of. Next you will take a deep dive into the issues surrounding the SDG using the 5W&H model. Then finally and tentatively, explore some potential ideas that would help reduce the impact of the problem.

Reason: Design Thinkers often use the 5W&H model to explore complex issues in greater detail. This is an opportunity for you to consider an aspect of sustainability in depth and to understand how Design Thinking may help to provide solutions to “wicked” problems. A wicked problem is a social or cultural issue or concern that is difficult to explain and inherently impossible to solve. Examples of wicked problems in today’s society include things like education design, financial crises, health care, hunger, income disparity, obesity, poverty, terrorism, and sustainability. This technique allows you to understand a situation fully and to define the underlying problems by analysing many aspects to inspire solutions.

Submission: A 2,500 word (+/-10%) document. You should apply design principles to produce an engaging document. Save as PDF file and upload to Turnitin by the due date.

1. Issue – Describe your chosen issues and show how it is related to the broader SDG. Provide the reader with scope and context for further discussion.

Then: Creatively explore core issues using the 5W&H headings below.

2. What needs to be done?
3. Where should it be done?
4. When does it need to be done?
5. Who should do it?
6. Why does it need to be done?
7. How should it be done?
8. What if? Can Design Thinking be used to solve the issue?

For each of the passages, consider the following: Contextualize the passage (what theme, or idea from the work does it embody?)

This final exam has two parts. Please submit the completed exam to the portal on Blackboard. Use MS Word or a pdf. As well, please double space your answer.
Part One

For each of the passages, consider the following:
1. Contextualize the passage (what theme, or idea from the work does it embody?)
2. Figurative language (what is important or interesting about the language?)
3. Author and title (who is the a uthor, what is the title?)
A) A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,

B) For I have known them all already, known them all—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a further room.
So how should I presume?

C) I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

D) Yet, because he was so small, and so simple a form of the energy that was rolling in at the open window and driving its way through so many narrow and intricate corridors in my own brain and in those of other human beings, there was something marvelous as well as pathetic about him.

E) His brother once held a peeled orange slice up against the sun. When the light shone through it, the slice became a brilliant amber: the setting sun is this ripe colour, ripe orange. The uniforms of the five advancing peace officers are robin’s egg blue, but the slanting light catches their visors and sets their faces aflame.


Part Two (50 %)
In the form of an essay, consider how (and to what end) the plays The Importance of Being Earnest, Blood Relations and Essay ridicule the relationship between power and gender. I will be grading this part of the exam on how well you support your essay, how well it is written, how you frame your discussion (after all, this topic is broad), how well your argument is organized, and the details you provide. The essay should be around 750-800 words long (6 to 8 paragraphs). In your essay, refer as specifically as possible (without discussing the plot), to each of these works.

What is the central thesis of “Skin in the game” and what kinds of evidence does Rutherford present to support his thesis?

Question Set B
These are based on the first chapter of Adam Rutherfords’ book, How to Argue with a Racist – Skin in the Game (attached PFD)
1. What is the central thesis of “Skin in the game” and what kinds of evidence does Rutherford present to support his thesis?
2. What according to his account was the role of science and scientists in promoting racist views. Do you agree? Why or why not?
3. What in your opinion is the role of science in challenging and confronting racist views and ideologies? Do you feel that scientific arguments can be useful tools, and what are the limits of these? Are there views that you hold that were challenged by Rutherford’s arguments? Elaborate on why you personally found his arguments either compelling or unconvincing.
4. How do you see and/or experience the role of race in society? It may be worthwhile to reflect on whether your personal experience may or may not coincide with the experience of others, and why this could be the case. More generally, do you agree that race is a social construct or ‘story’, and if so, how can we change the narrative?

what is the issue, who does it affect (e.g. Global North vs. Global South), and why is it a problem?

Future Societies Final Paper
Individual Research Project on a topic related to the themes addressed during the course. Students are expected to focus on a topic of their choice, selected from the themes discussed during the course, options include the following topics:
• The Climate Crisis: Potential Solutions?
• The Future of Work: Artificial intelligence, Gender Norms, the Nature of the Corporation ( This is the selected topic)
• Urbanization post-Covid: Smart Cities, Housing, Slums, Migration
• Measures of Wealth and Progress: The Future of Policy Metrics
• Media and Politics in a post-truth World: Populism, Nationalism and Technology
• Race and Identity in 2050
I expect five sections for this project.
1) Problem definition… what is the issue, who does it affect (e.g. Global North vs. Global South), and why is it a problem?
2) Who are the stakeholders?
3) Major debates/issues…what are some of the most widely held views/position
4) What are some of the solutions to address the problem (also, what are some solutions that might NOT be a solution)? What are governments and NGOs doing? Are existing businesses part of the solution or the problem? How might the solution fail? What stands in the way of this solution?
5) How might this be an opportunity for businesses or what firms are pursuing this or how would industry need to adapt?
Students should engage in independent research and write an essay of about 3500 words (typically this is about 12 pages). Within the topic they select, students are free to focus on any angle they find particularly interesting and emphasize how it impacts the future of our world; they are encouraged to provide the main relevant perspectives about that angle and not just their own personal opinion. They are expected to support their assertions by clearly citing their sources and by referring to core course concepts.
A good project will incorporate a minimum of 20 cited sources (this is a general guideline and I expect you to research this issue extensively). You do not have to conduct primary research (interviews, online surveys) but are encouraged to do so if it will benefit your research and is feasible.
