what role, if any, does Manifest Destiny play in how the United States deals with other nations and conflicts today?
About This Assignment
In this assignment you will demonstrate your understanding of one of the key political philosophies that has driven American expansion and policies since the early 1800s, Manifest Destiny.
Prompt
In this course, you learned about the reasons behind the founding of the original colonies and the subsequent expansion across the North American continent of what was to become the United States. A major influence was Manifest Destiny. For this assignment, you must write a 1,750 – 2,00-word paper which explores how the concept of Manifest Destiny shaped the early expansion of the United States in North America and its later influence on relations between the United States and other nations.
Use these guiding questions to plan your essay:
· In the early years of the colonies how did the colonists use an idea similar to Manifest Destiny to support their colonization of lands belonging to other groups?
· In the 1800s how did Manifest Destiny play a role in the expansion of control of the United States across the continent? And, what type of response did this elicit from the current occupants of the territories? Provide 2 -3 examples.
· In the 19th and 20th centuries how did this belief in Manifest Destiny influence American involvement in regional and global geopolitics? Provide 2 – 3 examples.

How do you think the manager of electrical engineering should respond to this situation?
Project Manager
Word-Tech is a medium-sized firm that designs and manufactures electronic
systems for the mass transit industry. It competes with other firms to win contracts to
provide such systems. When Word-Tech receives a contract, it creates a project to
complete the work. Most projects range from $10 million to $50 million in cost and
from one to three years in duration. Word-Tech can have 6-12 projects going on at
any one time, in various stages of completion some just starting and others finishing.
Word-Tech has a handful of project managers who report to the general manager;
other people report to their functional manager. For example, the electronics
engineers all report to the manager of electrical engineering, who reports to the
general manager. The functional manager assigns particular individuals to work on
various projects. Some people work full time on a project, whereas others split their
time among two or three projects. Although individuals are assigned to work for a
project manager on a specific project, administratively they still report to their
functional manager.
Jack Kowalski has been with the company for about 12 years, since graduating
from college with a BS in electronic engineering. He has worked his way up to senior
electronics engineer and reports to the manager of electrical engineering. He has
worked on many projects and is well respected within the company. Jack has been
asking for an opportunity to be a project manager. When Word-Tech is awarded a $15
million contract to design and manufacture an advanced electronics system, the
general manager promotes Jack to project manager and asks him to run this project.
Jack works with the functional managers to get the best people available assigned
to the project. Most of the people are buddies who have worked with Jack on previous
projects. However, with Jack s position as senior electronics engineer vacant, the
manager of electrical engineering has no one with the appropriate level of expertise
to assign to Jack s project. So the manager hires a new person, Alfreda Bryson. Lured
away from a competitor, Alfreda has a Ph.D. in electronic engineering and eight years
experience. She was able to command a high salary more than Jack is making. She is
assigned to Jack s project full time as the senior electronics engineer.
Jack takes a special interest in Alfreda s work and asks to meet with her to discuss
her design approaches. Most of these meetings turn into monologues, with Jack
suggesting how Alfreda should do the design and paying little attention to what she
says.
Finally, Alfreda asks Jack why he is spending so much more time reviewing her
work than that of the other engineers on the project. He responds, “I don t have to
check theirs. I know how they work. I’ve worked with them on other projects. You re
the new kid on the block, and I want to be sure you understand the way we do things
here, which may be different than at your previous employer.”
On another occasion, Alfreda shows Jack what she thinks is a creative design
approach that will result in a lower-cost system. Jack tells her, “I don t even have a
Ph.D. and I can see that that won’t work. Don’t be so esoteric; just stick to basic sound
engineering.”
During a business trip with Dennis Freeman, another engineer assigned to the
project who has known Jack for six years, Alfreda tells him that she is frustrated with
the way Jack treats her. Jack is acting more like the electronics engineer for the project
than the project manager, she tells Dennis. Besides, I have forgotten more about
designing electronics than Jack ever knew! He really isn’t up to date on electronic
design methodologies. discuss the matter with the manager of electrical engineering
and that she would never have taken the job with Word-Tech if she had known it was
going to be like this.

What was James Madison’s central concern in Federalist 10?
Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison wrote eighty-five articles supporting ratification of the Constitution. The writers’ two-fold purpose was to defend the principles of the Constitution and gain support in the New York ratification vote. Today, The Federalist Papers serve as an original source of interpretation of the Constitution by the Founders. They are for all intents and purposes a window into the minds of the creators of our government.
Read Federalist 10 by James Madison. As you read, take notes listing Madison’s key points, such as his reason for writing the article and what he proposed. Next, move to the quiz and answer the four questions.
1. What was James Madison’s central concern in Federalist 10?
2. What remedy did Madison seek?
3. As in Federalist 51, Madison in Federalist 10 referred to the advantages of a large republic. Explain his support for a large republic over a pure democracy.
4. How is his remedy useful in today’s civic culture?
Which order policy (Quantity ordered) should be used as per the expectation alone and according to the variability depicted by the profit percentiles?
Please answer the following question:
In August, the national coffee store Farbucks needs to decide how many holiday-editions insulated coffee mugs to order. Because the mugs are dated, those unsold by January 15 are considered a loss. These premium mugs sell for $25.95 and cost $9.75 each. Farbucks is uncertain of the demand. They believe the market demand is normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation of σ. Any unsold mugs are discounted and sold for $5 each. Farbucks are also interested in the opportunity costs which usually happen when demand is unmet. Assume Farbucks assigns $3.00 to each unmet-demand insulated coffee mug as the additional opportunity cost due to future lost sales. For example, if Farbucks ordered 650 mugs and 700 are demanded, 50 mugs are the unmet demand and $150 is the additional opportunity cost. Incorporate this additional cost into your model and attempt the following:
Build a deterministic model in Excel.
Simulate the model using @risk and plot a graph for the expected profit vs. order quantity along with the 5th percentile and 95th percentiles profit points. The graph should be similar to the graph in the simulation example excel file (sheet 2). Show the table that has been used to plot the graph.
Which order policy (Quantity ordered) should be used as per the expectation alone and according to the variability depicted by the profit percentiles?
Note: Please supplement your file with a snapshot of the risk profiles generated at the various order quantity used in your analysis. Each attached risk profile should show the expected profit (add the mean), the 5th percentile, and the 95th percentile of the profit-risk profile.
The mean is 20200, and the standard deviation σ is 7640. You might refer for attached example as reference.To download @Risk use https://www.palisade.com/trials/risk/
