Respond to all of the following (4) prompts below. Refrain from being scripted (meaning, simply give your analysis to respond…do not read from a script or notes); allow the element of critical-thinking to surface as you relay your perspective. This assignment is intended to allow you to practice key aspects of conversational public speaking by leveraging your personal perspective. Therefore, place an emphasis on your tone, body language, and allow your personality to emerge. These are vital elements for when you have to present your Group Capstone Presentation, at the end of the BAS Program.
Video Prompts: (The following prompts may require some external research in addition the info provided in the textbook; feel free to leverage trending (current) articles to support and/or defend your point of view…ensure to verbally mention all selected sources in video submission)
1. Should the U.S. Government play a greater role in providing an economic “safety net” for its citizens than it currently does? Alternatively, should such a greater role be the obligation of philanthropic and religious/church groups?
2. Some observers have argued that the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court have too much power. How does the “common law” natures of the U.S. legal system contribute to this possibility, and how might this situation be potentially reformed?
3. Do you think Google Corporation is a “monopoly” or is violating antitrust “unfair competition” rules/laws? (Google currently has about 89 percent of the U.S. search engine market, with Bing having about six percent, and Yahoo somewhat less.)
4. Why might an international corporation open operations in highly corrupt and politically risky countries, even when it’s well aware of such risks/corruption?
