philosophy.

of different axes of oppression. Carefully explain Crenshaw’s insight. Then

Are you especially loyal to any one brand? If so, what is it and why are you so loyal?
“Are you especially loyal to any one brand? If so, what is it and why are you so loyal? When successfully building loyalty and community, trust seems to be the biggest factor. How can a company build trust and what is the best approach to do so (incorporating concepts from both the field of marketing and psychology)? What are the ethical issues and obligations that come with trust once it is built? Should consumers trust companies? Why or why not? Do you think some consumers are just more prone to be loyal to companies and other consumers are not? Why or why not?Note: Please review my expectations for the assignment. I expect your response to include 2 or more references from the APUS Library system (failure to include such references will detract from your grade on the assignment), and be presented in APA Format.

Using the learning objectives of Chapter 1, section 1, #1:
Explain why the issue should be a social problem.
Using the learning objectives of Chapter 1, section 1, #2:
Identify the OBJECTIVE component and the SUBJECTIVE component.
Using the learning objectives of Chapter 1, section 1, #4:
Walk your chosen issue through the FOUR (4) stages.
What could you do in the claims-making stage?
How might you legitimize your issue?
What might you do in the face of adversity?
What else might you have to do to make your issue a problem?
Think of this assignment as a proposal to get your issue some attention from whoever is the most appropriate leader.
[Writing tip: Avoid the use of 1st person (I, me, mine) and 2nd person (you, yours, us, our). However. 2nd person tense is OK if it used when writing about a group. For instance, “our group” is 2nd person and is an appropriate use; “You wouldn’t believe…” is an inappropriate use of 2nd person. Instead, “Many/Some people don’t believe…”]
This proposal is due June 5th by 11:59 PM. It is worth up to 20 points (you can think of each stage as worth five (5) points. There is a rubric attached to the assignment for you to reference. There is also an attached file of this activity.
