Beloved in its essence, a fugitive slave’s narrative is the most shocking case of all the fugitive slave cases that have seen the issue of Margret Garner, who never had the opportunity to voice out her own story.

Critical Thinking Assignment Edward Lampert generally believes that Sears’ decline is tied to the immense level of competition in the retail industry. From this angle, he’s suggests that a significant competitive advantage or a reliable cash flow could simply make the firm perform better. Lampert also seems to believe that the firm’s long-term success is tied to technology innovations, which could enable it to compete fairly with Amazon, Walmart, and other retail giants. Nonetheless, evidence shows that Lampert’s perception is unidirectional, as he seems to ignore salient aspects like poor decision-making that have progressively led to Sears’ decline. Sears’ inability to adapt to changing market dynamics in the 80s is the most significant factor for its decline. The firm’s dominance in the retail industry was trumped by Walmart and Kmart merely for introducing discount shopping. Unlike Sears, both firms were flexible enough to implement the cost leadership strategy, attracting more customers to their stores. Contrary, Sears’ management system was crippled by bureaucracy, maintaining high overhead costs and traditional operational frameworks. Further, the corporation was unable to leverage online shopping, and…

Revised Proposal: What Brings About Societal Stereotypes? Societal stereotypes are common in every community. Individuals with certain traits are usually placed in a particular group. In most cases, these people are forced to identify with such a group, which results in discrimination. Every social setting has a societal stereotype. A lot of effort is required to change the thinking of people as the stereotyping behavior is usually deep-rooted. Children are taught about stereotypes at a young age, something that stays in their minds for long. Categorizing individuals due to aspects that they cannot change should not be happening in the 21st century. There are many instances of societal stereotypes. For instance, in a white predominant area, blacks are usually associated with criminal activities. In this case, they are considered violent in nature. Therefore, whenever a person of color is seen in a park relaxing, phone calls are made to police, indicating that there is a person planning to commit a crime. Such a thing is wrong and should be condemned. Stereotyping an individual due to their physical appearance is inhumane…
