I know that essaywriters.net is perhaps the most debated company around here, but I'd like to post some evidence against them (there's plenty already, but I'll post some more, just in case there are writers who are still tempted to sign up on their site). I'd like to give you some examples of what orders look like on their site - check out the really low payment:

While Walmart seems to have a social responsibility, the company has had a devastating impact on small merchants, and the environment and it is important to compare and contrast the perspectives of these parties to see how they might conflict. How can this company take action to meet these considerations and why must they be considered in internal and external relationships?

Background
Communication in the context of international business necessarily has to deal with cross-cultural communication. One very important issue that impacts on effective cross-cultural communication is to appreciate differences in customs, social mores and practices that different cultures may exhibit; for example, differing cultural views of time. One approach to understanding or analysing other cultures is to develop and use cultural stereotypes.
Essay Question
'Discuss the importance (or otherwise) of developing and then using cultural stereotypes to enhance, or make more effective, cross-cultural communication'.
Within the context of developing an answer to this question, your essay is required to consider specifically the following:
- What models of cultural stereotypes have been developed and how could they assist in effective cross-cultural communication? Your answer must consider at least two models as well as discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these models.
- Are cultural stereotypes a good way to approach this sort of communication or are there serious problems and issues in using this approach? That is, you must form an opinion that using this approach will either: facilitate effective cross-cultural communication in most circumstances; or hinder effective cross-cultural communication in most circumstances.
- Should cultural stereotypes be considered static artefacts that do not change or should they be considered dynamic and so do change over time? Your answer must consider what impact this issue would have both in terms of initiating new relationships as well as maintaining and developing these relationships.
Additional information regarding the essay assessment task:
The word length for the essay is 1200 words. In addition to using the lead references shown below, you must find and use at least five(5) additional scholarly information sources to support your arguments; you must not use non-scholarly information sources for the essay.
Your lead references for the essay are:
Eunson, B 2008, Intercultural communication, in Communicating in the twenty-first century, Chapter 16, 2nd edn, Wiley, Milton, Queensland, pp. 457-481.
Baskerville, RF 2003, Hofstede never studied culture', Accounting, Organizations and Society, vol. 28, no. 1, pp. 1-14.
This is copy-pasted word for word from their "available orders" section. And I have many other examples of 2$/page assignments! (that's at least 10 times lower than what the company actually charges the customers). The funny thing is that, when I first started working for them, they had an advertisement saying their rates range from 4-16$/ page (4 or 5 is still very, very low, obviously). There was never any announcement saying they will no longer pay a minimum of 4$. This is a warning for the customers as well: you cannot expect good writing at this rate! Even if the writer is good, he/she is not likely to be motivated to put in the effort and give you a good paper.

[from the syllabus] Short Paper 1 The first short paper (3-5 pages) is about writing two short cases. This project may require
some research, because it should not duplicate cases we study in class. Find two engineering 2
projects in your own field (if you don't have a particular specialization yet, choose one for the purposes of the assignment). One of these projects should be a high-profile failure, the other a project that saw success against some substantial odds. First, describe the project's plan in some detail. Second, detail the problems or practices that led to these successes or failures in some detail. Finally, describe the resolution of the projects.

Here are my profs reqs for the essay:
1. Introduction: a paragraph or two that reflect(s) Tweed's introductory chapter by situating your "site" and "sighting" of two places of religious significance. Your introduction should also define the categorical parameters of your paper (e.g., Domestication, or Gentrification, or Internationalization, etc.).
2. Body: the body of your paper should be divided into two parts:
a. a description of two sites of religious significance (the medium of which is open-ended); FOR THIS PLEASE USE THE KNOX UNITED CHURCH IN DOWNTOWN CALGARY HERE IS A URL SO YOU CAN SEE IT
AND ALSO PLEASE USE THIS CHURCH FOR THE OTHER SITE. IT IS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND HAS PLAIN SURROUNDINGS. THIS INFO IS NECESSARY FOR THE PAPER.
b. a summary of a sizeable body of theoretical sources, including at minimum:
- the Francis/Kitzan textbook
- three additional sources from the assigned readings for the week
- two additional sources drawn from the supplementary materials posted in Blackboard.
3. Conclusion - the identification of a significant critical research question related to the discussion of spaces/places presented in the body of your paper.
Also:
Use headings to demarcate the various sections of your paper.
2. Make certain that your presentation of five theoretical sources is clear (i.e., note where the authors agree and disagree on mutually shared points of interest) and that it relates explicitly to the two places that you have described. Your grade will suffer if I cannot connect the dots from theory to place.
3. When dealing with the embodiment of human thought and life, academics must situate the mind not only in the body but also in the environment in which that body is organically placed. This environment is not only the space immediately contiguous with the outer skin of the human organism-it also extends to distances quite removed, ultimately even to global or solar dimensions.
4. The concluding question to which your paper will culminate must be directly related to the critical academic theorizing that you have presented. In other words, the question should seek to advance the discussion and/or to highlight or explore a particular gap in the scholarly discourse.
Dont worry about including anything from the `tweed` or `franz and kitzan` book.
