Discuss this connection and reflect on some of the potential pros and cons of this approach, especially in the context of the environmental crisis faced by our current form of civilization.
Jim Cheney discusses an approach, central to Native American worldviews, of addressing the non-human world as an active subject to be engaged with in dialogue, as opposed to a passive set of objects to possess knowledge and mastery over. This is linked, for Cheney, to an epistemology based more on the metaphor of “listening”; than “seeing.”; (As you might remember from Plato, sight tends to be Western philosophy’s primary metaphor for knowing). Discuss this connection and reflect on some of the potential pros and cons of this approach, especially in the context of the environmental crisis faced by our current form of civilization.
Provide a detailed evaluation analyzing whether or not capital projects should have their own unique cost of capital rates for budgeting purposes
For this Discussion, imagine the following scenario:
You are the director of operations for your company, and your vice president wants to expand production by adding new and more expensive fabrication machines. You are directed to build a business case for implementing this program of capacity expansion. Assume the company’s weighted average cost of capital is 13%, the after-tax cost of debt is 7%, preferred stock is 10.5%, and common equity is 15%. As you work with your staff on the first cut of the business case, you surmise that this is a fairly risky project due to a recent slowing in product sales. As a matter of fact, when using the 13% weighted average cost of capital, you discover that the project is estimated to return about 10%, which is quite a bit less than the company’s weighted average cost of capital. An enterprising young analyst in your department, Harriet, suggests that the project be financed from retained earnings (50%) and bonds (50%). She reasons that using retained earnings does not cost the firm anything, since it is cash you already have in the bank and the after-tax cost of debt is only 7%. That would lower your weighted average cost of capital to 3.5% and make your 10% projected return look great.1. Student provides a thorough and detailed explanation of his/her reaction to Harriet’s suggestion, evaluating Harriet’s idea and providing a strong rationale for his/her position. 2. Student provides a thorough and detailed evaluation analyzing whether or not capital projects should have their own unique cost of capital rates for budgeting purposes, including a strong rationale for conclusions drawn, evaluating the relatively high risk inherent in Harriet’s project, and recommending whether or not it should be budgeted at higher risk. 3. Student provides a thorough and detailed explanation of how he/she would factor the notion of risk into the analysis so that all competing projects that have relatively lower or higher risks can be evaluated on a level playing field. Student provides strong rationale for his or her approach to factoring in risk for such purposes. 4. Writing is clear, logical, well-organized and appropriate. Work is free from spelling and grammar/syntax errors. Tone is professional and free from bias (i.e., sexism, racism). There are no errors.

Do we go through life and just see it as it is, or do we really think about what is actually happening?
To start our time together, it is important that we define our central terms, here”critical thinking.”So, for this discussion post, Identify and describe one way in which critical thinking differs from any other way of thinking? That is, identify one specific feature of critical thinking? An essential part of critical thinking is seeing the bigger picture.Also, perception is a big part of critical thinking. Do we go through life and just see it as it is, or do we really think about what is actually happening? For instance, I was driving to work and the sun was rising in the east and was really bright. I started thinking that our star is 93,000,000 miles away. We are spinning around our axis at 1,000 miles per hour while orbiting our star at 66,658 mph. Does the sun move? Our sun is a star in the Milky Way Galaxy. Our sun is flying through our galaxy at 492,126 miles per hour. Our sun is one of the many stars that contain planets. Most of the other stars in our galaxy have planets, therefore there are trillions of planets in our galaxy. There are trillions of stars in our galaxy that have trillions of planets orbiting these stars. There are also trillions of galaxies in our known universe. What do you think about this? Interact with this concept and how it relates to seeing the big picture. Write your thoughts about this statement and discuss it with others.

The Democrats intentionally walked out on a decision that would restrict voting in the state of Texas. This isn’t the first time Democrats have made this move. They noticed their victory was short because the governor rescheduled the meeting to pass the bill. Republicans saw this bill as a high priority. The agenda was shocking for the Democrats. It included a near ban on abortion and preservation of the 2ndamendment rights with no permit required for handguns. Because of the size of Texas, the conservative party is beginning to get a tighter hold on politics outside of its boarders. Some well-known Texas names serve on the republican board. The conservatives have also banned sanctuary cities, required voter ID, banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and banned transgender’s ability to use bathrooms of their choice. This caused a lot of attention from our country. In our textbook says Texas is the largest state with the most diversity with a high population. Currently republicans have the control, however with a very young demographic in Texas, it is uncertain if conservatives with sustain that power. “The pattern was broken in 1978 when Republican William Clements first won the governorship to the surprise of many, and again in 1986 when he won his second term” (Champagne 6) In 2002, Republicans began to have a consistent 24 vote majority in the house. Republicans have high confidence as they enter the primaries for 2022. They are pioneering into territory in this modern culture that isn’t as conservative as prior years. Democrats have a hard time getting their way in the state of Texas. Only the smaller, less important bills, are easy for the Democrats and Republicans to agree upon. The textbook warns that the upcoming demographic seems like they may change the party in Texas. Their thinking is more democratic. The current Republican status of Texas may change. The article seems very confident that they will hold the current conservative values, but our textbook warns otherwise. In another article, Lacy states that Republicans have made a path for their own downfall. Republicans created a ton of jobs for the economy of Texas, but it caused a ton of liberals to flock to the state. Texas drew in the economy with promises of grants, but this attracted the wrong crowd as well, the liberals. Texas still has low voter turn out and the large cities have the most pull which is where the liberals are located. Several liberal companies, Apple, Facebook, and Uber all plan to expand their business in the state of Texas which as a result will draw in more liberals. There are many good points made with logical facts as to why Texas is currently republican but will eventually shift permanently to a democratic control. As logical and factual as these points are, my view goes a little deeper. God has begun to remove his hand from this country and turn its people over to their sins. People want a different way; their way, and liberals allow for that. Liberals lean in the direction of feelings of their voters and as a result are more than willing to sign in legal killing of preborn babies, transgender freedom, turning a blind eye to illegal immigration, and anything else to have control of the state. God is setting up the pieces for his return, so I do not find any of it to be surprising. Prompt:Reply to this essay. This is not an exercise in expressing opinions.
