Discussion Topic #1

Give an example of stereotyping that you see in everyday life. Explain what would need to happen for this to be eliminated.        

Discussion Topic #2

Why do sociologists find it important to differentiate between sex and gender? What importance does the differentiation have in modern society?               

Discussion Topic #3

How is children’s play influenced by gender roles? Think back to your childhood. How “gendered” were the toys and activities available to you? Do you remember gender expectations being conveyed through the approval or disapproval of your playtime choices?

Discussion Topic #4

A challenge frequently cited in the press facing elderly citizens today is how to pay for medications. For many, the high costs of medication (not covered by Medicare) and the recent stock market losses that cut retirement incomes for many of them, make it necessary to return to work after retirement or to delay retirement five or more years. What does this mean for the lives of older adults? What could this mean for the greater society, who must provide employment opportunities to incoming members of society? Should pharmaceutical companies control drug prices to and from the Canadian or Mexican borders so that elderly cannot travel or log on to buy their medications more cheaply?

“Usability Evaluation”  Please respond to the following:

 

  • Software design engineers use different data gathering techniques for establishing requirements. Requirements come in many different forms and levels of abstraction, but need to be very specific and unambiguous. Of the two different kinds of requirements (functional and non-functional), speculate the challenges you may see in capturing both requirements. Provide a rationale for your response. 
  • Low-fidelity prototypes are mainly used to conduct research on a product and are not integrated into the final product, while high-fidelity prototypes may evolve into a final product. Compare and contrast the final product that evolves from a high-fidelity product and a product built from the ground up after studying and learning from a low-fidelity prototype. Provide one(1) example of each type of product to support your response.

Discussion #1

From the end of Chapter 10, answer Discussion Question 3: In general, under what conditions might a firm favor a level production plan over a chase plan?

A chase production plan over a level plan?

 

Discussion #2

From the end of Chapter 11, answer Discussion Question 6: The just-in-time (JIT) movement has long argued that firms should:

  • Maximize their process flexibility so that ordering costs are minimal.
  • Stabilize demand levels.
  • Shrink lead times as much as possible.
  • Assign much higher holding costs to inventory than has traditionally been the case.

Using the economic order quantity (EOQ) and reorder point (ROP) formulas, explain how such efforts would be consistent with JIT’s push for lower inventory levels
