I want to take this opportunity to give you some special instruction on what I would like for you to write-up on the second critical reflection post assignment and convey my expectations ahead of its due date/time.

Whereas the previous assignment I opened it up for you to choose any current issues/event topic that you could pair and connect with an ethical theme, topic, theory, principle, or concept, this assignment will have a small twist. Instead of having you pick a news story in the media at-large, I want you to focus your news article on an international/global business issue focused on a particular business decision. Focus your analysis and reflection on the decision making process.

Here are a few examples:

• Princess Cruises President Jan Swartz suspends all company activity, including cruises, for the next two months to combat COVID-19
• Bombardier replaces Bellemare with former business aircraft chief Martel
• International Olympics Committee decides to forge ahead with Tokyo Olympics later this summer

Like before, your reflection assignment is to be written in a personal journal style (first person) and posted to the corresponding discussion forum here on Brightspace under ‘Assessments’ then ‘Discussions.’ Simply click on the appropriate assignment discussion forum (i.e. ‘Critical Reflection Post #1) and select ‘Start a New Thread.’ Your post should include hyperlinks to the article you are reflecting on and proper APA referencing to the chapter in the text, lecture material(s), and/or any other source(s) that you wish to use in demonstrating a connection. The post should generally be approximately 300-500 words. The goal of this exercise will be to ensure you are getting the most from your reading and for you to begin appreciating the media while thinking critically about current issues and events.

Consult the course outline for due date/times. No late submissions will be permitted (the discussion forum will automatically close).
