I created an airline called Raven Airlines. So for the class we just need make up the company description, mission and goals, and just a complete executive summary. You can make up anything you like. I also attached Raven Airlines performance report that you can use in the summary section. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  The executive summary outlines the who, what, where, when, how, and why of the performance report. The content can be used to obtain additional financing from a bank or private investors for expansion in addition to serving as a communication vehicle. Thus, the executive summary should paint a picture of the firm’s performance during the reporting period.    COMPANY DESCRIPTION  The company description summarizes the history of your Airline —how it was founded and by whom, what its services are, and why they are unique. It begins to “sell” the reader on the history and growth possibilities for your Airline.  MISSION AND GOALS  It is important to state a firm’s mission and goals, including financial and non-financial goals.

Lady Macbeth (Act 1; Scene V): Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be What thou art promised: yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great; Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it: what thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win: thou’ldst have, great Glamis, That which cries ‘Thus thou must do, if thou have it; And that which rather thou dost fear to do Than wishest should be undone.’ Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirits in thine ear; And chastise with the valour of my tongue All that impedes thee from the golden round, Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem To have thee crown’d withal. Macbeth (Act 1; Scene VII): He’s here in double trust; First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking-off; And pity, like a naked new-born babe, Striding the blast, or heaven’s cherubim, horsed Upon the sightless couriers of the air, Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself And falls on the other. Use the excerpts from Macbeth to complete the following task: Write an essay of at least three paragraphs, supporting the assertion that Lady Macbeth does not trust Macbeth to live up to his ambition. Be sure to include evidence from the text to support your answer. Remember to clearly state your main point and use correct citation in your response.

Total word limit: 700 The 19th century utopian socialist Robert Owen challenged many contemporary assumptions about the intrinsic shortcomings of the working class and proposed instead a new set of principles that he believed could pave the way to a more equitable form of industrial society. Read carefully his 1816 “Utopian Socialism” in which he identified, first, the old set of principles industrial society must discard, and, second, a new set of principles it must embrace in order to eliminate “vice, poverty, and, in a great degree, misery from the world.”  Summation of his argument (“6th principle”): “That any community may be arranged, on a due combination of the foregoing principles, in such a manner, as not only to withdraw vice, poverty, and in a great degree, misery, from the world, but also to place every individual under circumstances in which he shall enjoy more permanent happiness than can be given to any individual under the principles which have hitherto regulated society.” Critique Owen’s vision of a more egalitarian industrial society from the point of view of 3 other economic thinkers you have encountered in this course.  In each case, discuss in as specific terms as possible how each would assess Owen’s assumptions and ideals. Remember, “to critique” does not necessarily mean “to criticize” Instead, it entails an analytical assessment of the merits and flaws of a particular viewpoint Responses will be assessed based on how faithfully and accurately you can represent the unique perspectives of each of the following using only the course assigned readings and course lectures. You should not base your responses on your own personal critique of Owen. Adam Smith’s critique of what Owen is saying in this 1816 address (200-250) John Stuart Mill’s critique of the same (150-200) Karl Marx’s critique (200-250)
