WEEK 7 RESPOND TO A PEER: 2 PARTS
1. Uber has certainly seen their fair share of scandals in recent years… They have been accused of sexual harassment cases internally, they have the self-driving vehicle that killed someone, they’ve had data breaches, and now they have the issue of stealing trade secret information from Google.
BONUS: Class,How should they come back from all of these scandals? What would be an effective strategy?
2. In January of 2018 Tide found themselves in the middle of the Tide pod Challenge. Teens where swallowing the Tide pods and posting the footage on social media. Tide did change it’s packaging and added a bitter tasting chemical to try and keep them from to ingest the pods. When the media got hold of the challenge Tide knew that they had to do something fast. So they did a Tide pods ad with NFL player Rob Gronkoski telling teens not to eat the pods.
I feel like there communicate was great when they found out they did what they thought would work to stop teens from trying to eat the product. They spoke to them on a level of which they would understand and from someone that they would listen too. If it was me I would have done the same thing cause they are teens you have to use someone that they look up too cause just a notice from the company was not going to cut it.

WEEK 7 RESPOND TO A PEER: 2 PARTS
1. What do you think the Trump administration should learn from Truman’s foreign policies? This is a good point and I am interested in your specific observations.
2. The 1960s are known by all following generations as the time of the Civil Rights Movement. After hundreds of years, the Black community demanded the respect that they so rightly deserved. Two advances that stand out to be would be the sit in at the Woolworth’s counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, the state I live in, by four young black college students. This sit in ignited hundreds across the South. Black Americans began demanding the respect they deserved, all from asking to be served a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. A second advance of the Civil Rights movement that I always think of is the March on Washington where thousands gathered to demand their rights. Both of these advances resulted in the establishment of the most historic piece of legislature that resulted from the Civil Rights Movement, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed all discrimination in public places, banning segregation for good.

The 1970s and 1980s brought remarkable changes for the Untied States. The Cold War between the US and its allies versus the Soviet Union and its allies/clients was still the dominant international issue. China was also going to start emerging as a major world power. Nixon was dealing with Vietnam and then Watergateone of the pivotal scandals of modern history. Reagan would bring a new national spirit, and he would tackle economic problems by deregulation and moderating taxesand he would be dealing with a very new type of Soviet leadership.

Part 1: Post a Response
By the 1990s, the US was stepping into the Information Age. This would coincide with the presidency of Bill Clinton. One can also see this as a period when global connections really became more visible and faster, in part because of new trade agreements around the globe. In North America, there was NAFTAthe North American Free Trade Agreement. By the late 1990s the US economy was entering a dynamic period of growth.
Choose and discuss one of the following two topics related to the American history under President Clinton:
1. Discuss opposing viewpoints about free trade during the 1990s.
o For the period of the Clinton presidency, identify one view of those favoring free trade and one view of those who were opposed.
o Explain how you would weigh the pros and cons of this policy. In hindsight, what is your view of NAFTA? Is globalization good?
o Identify the source(s) where you read about these free trade issues of that time.
2. Discuss the economic rebound of the late 1990s under President Clinton.
