Dylan is a manager at a leading consumer electronics company. In his role, he must frequently interact with industry partners and customers. One day, Dylan met with a customer of one of his company’s custom products. The custom product was a special chip for an electronic appliance that was currently in its final stages of review before market release. During the meeting, the customer wanted to know the method of making the chip, a process which was not specified in the given datasheet. The client claimed this information was needed to ensure that the chip would function properly when it was integrated with electronic appliances. At first, Dylan was uncertain. He wanted to give his customer more details if it was for the benefit of his client’s final product, but, at the same time, was concerned because the requested information was protected under his company’s non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Dylan decided to discuss the matter with his supervisor; however, Dylan’s manager was overseeing many projects and, knowing that Dylan was capable and experienced, entrusted him to take care of the situation. When he returned to work the next day, Dylan received an email from his customer. The message stated that, if the chip’s manufacturing methodology was not disclosed, the customer would cease further investments in the product. Shocked, Dylan believed that if the customer could not abide by the NDA, he should tell the contract should be broken off. However, doing so would mean losing a significant amount of profit they had intended on garnering from selling the chip. On the other hand, sharing confidential information with his customer could cause negative repercussions, especially if his company were to discover the legal breach. Although it is highly unlikely that the extra chip information would be used by Dylan’s client for malicious purposes, its disclosure could potentially affect his company’s reputation, lead to mistrust in the company and compromise Dylan’s position. What should Dylan do? Frame your answer within the appropriate context (global, economic, environmental, and/or social).

Choose ONE question to answer. Your answer should demonstrate critical engagement with the material, textual evidence, and clear, organized writing. 1. Analyze: Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography presents an image of self-improvement, hard work, and moral virtue. Analyze how Franklin constructs his own identity in his writing. What rhetorical strategies does he use to shape his persona, and how does this self-presentation reflect Enlightenment ideals? 2. Evaluate: Franklin’s list of thirteen virtues is often considered a model of personal discipline and ethical living. Evaluate the relevance of Franklin’s virtues in modern society. Would these values still be useful today? Are there any that seem outdated or in need of revision? 3. Apply: Franklin’s belief in self-improvement was central to his life and writing. Choose one of Franklin’s virtues and apply it to a real-world situation today. How could practicing this virtue change someone’s personal or professional life? Provide specific examples. 4. Create: Imagine Benjamin Franklin was alive today and updating his Autobiography to reflect the 21st century. Write a new virtue that Franklin might add to his list and explain why it would be necessary in today’s world. How would this virtue align with his philosophy of self-improvement? 5. Understand: Franklin’s famous “rags-to-riches” story and his emphasis on hard work and frugality have become deeply embedded in American culture. How does Franklin’s Autobiography contribute to the idea of the “American Dream”? Compare his vision of success with how the American Dream is understood today.

Choose ONE question to answer. Your answer should demonstrate critical engagement with the material, textual evidence, and clear, organized writing. Analyze: Both Anne Bradstreet and Mary Rowlandson were Puritan women who expressed their faith through writing. However, their works serve different purposes and reflect different experiences. Compare and contrast how each woman presents her relationship with God. What role does suffering play in their expressions of faith, and how do their works reflect Puritan beliefs about divine providence? Evaluate: Mary Rowlandson’s Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration has been criticized for its portrayal of Native Americans, yet it was one of the most widely read works of its time. To what extent should Rowlandson’s account be read as a historical document, and to what extent should it be read as Puritan propaganda? Support your argument with evidence from the text and historical context. Apply: Anne Bradstreet’s poetry often explores themes of love, loss, and spiritual reflection within the constraints of Puritan culture. Choose one of Bradstreet’s poems and connect its themes to a modern issue or experience. How might Bradstreet’s reflections on personal suffering, devotion, or the role of women still resonate today? Create: Imagine that Mary Rowlandson and Anne Bradstreet were able to meet and discuss their experiences as Puritan women. Write a dialogue between them in which they discuss faith, suffering, and the expectations placed upon women in their society. Use evidence from their texts to make their perspectives authentic. Understand: Both Rowlandson’s and Bradstreet’s works are shaped by Puritan theology, particularly the belief in divine intervention and the idea of testing one’s faith through hardship. Synthesize their works by identifying how each woman portrays God’s role in their personal struggles. How does their writing either reinforce or complicate Puritan views on suffering and redemption?
