Wells Fargo & Company
While there are many factors that lead to an organization’s success or failure, it is important to identify the risk associated with the endeavor—financial or non-financial. Once the risks have been identified, management has a responsibility to develop measures to mitigate those risks.
Tasks:
Use the publicly-traded company you chose in Module 1 and imagine it has made a strategic decision to start doing business in China. Using the discussion, Currency Exchange Rates: A Case in China with Country Risk, (Chapter 7, Global Finance, page 192 of your textbook) as a model for the report you will write, prepare a report in which you:
—–>*Please the publicly-traded company that I chose in M1 Assignment is “Wells Fargo & Company”
- Develop a brief country risk assessment.
- Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why?
- After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, in 2015 the Chinese allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. You may read more about the Yuan reforms here. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain.
Your paper should be about 2,000 words.

André Breton's poem, "Free Union."
think
Thanks for the compliment I think
Conduct an online search for André Breton’s poem, “Free Union.” Upon locating the poem, read through it and share your thoughts about the following discussion with your classmates:
André Breton’s “Free Union” follows the form of a French blason, a poem that is made up of a list of qualities that describe a person, usually a woman, often to flatter, but sometimes to mock sarcastically. Maybe you have heard or read one before, something like, “Your eyes are like emeralds; your hair shines like the sun; etc.” You can see that the poet is making comparisons: eyes with emeralds, hair with the sun. In “Free Union,” Breton seems to be comparing “Woman of mine” to some really bizarre images.
Choose a few examples of these comparisons in order to see if you can make sense out of them. Remember what the Dadaists and Surrealists stand for, with regard to conventional poetry. What kind of thinking is needed to make sense of these images? Is it all logical? Is one even supposed to make sense of the poem? If not, then what do you think was Breton’s point for writing it? Be sure to refer to examples from the poem when you share your thoughts with other classmates.

Invention and Organization
W5 Assignment “Invention and Organization”English Composition IInvention and Organization
This week’s assignment is intended to help get you started on the persuasive essay we will be working on throughout the remainder of this course. Before getting started on this assignment, it might be beneficial for you to read the criteria for the Week Six Persuasive Essay.
For this week, we will be practicing topic selection and outlining. Because this is preparation for next week’s persuasive essay, you will need to start by picking a topic that is persuasive. This topic must meet the following criteria:
- Arguable (are there at least two logical, yet opposite ways to look at the issue? Are there at least two sides?)
- Solvable (i.e. avoid religious, moral, or politically charged topics)
- Manageable (keep your topic focused and specific)
- Think of a specific problem or issue that you are interested in researching and writing an essay about. This issue should be argumentative in nature, so the topic that you choose should have an equally valid opposing viewpoint.
An example of an appropriate topic would be this:
A specific community is debating an ordinance banning the ownership of pit bulls. Some residents agree that pit bulls should be banned, while others disagree with this position (there is plenty of research to back up either side of the argument).
Your job from there will be to explore the issue, look at both sides of the argument as completely as you can, and take a side. Your essay will be an attempt to convince others to join you in your decision.
Directions
- Look up and read the following article in the EBSCOhost Database:
Step-by-step through the writing process. (2007). Writing, 30. 1-8.
(Note: You do not need to answer any of the questions from the reading in your assignment). - Read and respond to EACH of the following questions and submit them and your outline in a single document (both parts must be completed).
- Part One: Topic Search
For the first part of this assignment, consider the following three questions: - What issue or problem would you like to write about?
- Choose a side. What is your view on the issue? What is the opposing view?
- What specific change might fix this issue?
- Then, freewrite for 10-15 minutes about the topic you have chosen. Share all of the reasons you can think of for why your problem needs to be fixed. Do not worry about grammar, spelling, or format. Do not edit. Write what comes to mind. Do not research yet. If you are stumped and cannot write what you know for 10-15 minutes, go back to #1 and start with a new topic.
Part Two: The Outline
Draft an informal outline for your upcoming persuasive paper. Do not include quotations or paraphrased material. Your outline should be built from your current knowledge of the topic. You can refine this later when you conduct your research.
Basic Outline for a Five Paragraph Essay
- Introductory Paragraph (five to seven sentences that include a hook, background information, and a thesis)
- Body Paragraphs
- First Topic Sentence
- Supporting Point
- Supporting Point
- Supporting Point
- Second Topic Sentence

- Third Topic Sentence
