Business students must always ask this very important question: How does the business and economic world affect me? Is there a relationship between the business events/people we are learning about and the state of the world today? Asking and answering this question forces us to consider how we live and learn as business consumers and workers. To accomplish this, we are going to embark on a semester-long project to become knowledgeable about current events and what is happening in the world of business today. Every two weeks you will complete the following assignment: Find and print out an interesting article about business news. The article must relate to an objective that we are learning in class. (See the Learning Objectives at the beginning of every chapter) You will find articles from the following sources: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News and World Report, Economist, Business Week, etc.. You must turn in a copy of this article with your Current Event assignment. You may not use Wikipedia. If you are uncertain about a source, ask! When you have found an article, you will (1) Read the Article. (2) Underline or highlight the vocabulary words and names (familiar and unfamiliar) and (3) be sure to look these words/names/terms up in your textbook to help you learn/reinforce the concept. Create a document in Microsoft Word and place the following header at the top.  Format you paper with one inch margins and type your paragraphs so that they are left aligned. Use a 12 point Arial or Times New Roman font only and double space your paragraphs. Your paper should have the same appearance as the sample. If you have misplaced your sample, you may view one on the BMF homepage of your instructors website. Article title At the top of the page Article Source At the top of the page as a sub title Introduction Topic. What is the topic or your article? How does it relate to what we are studying in class? Start with a summary of overview of the article which includes the authors name and the title of the article. Finish with a thesis statement that states the main idea of the article. Summary Briefly, and in your own words, summarize the content of the article. Your summary should be about one fourth the length of the original. The number of paragraphs in your summary depends on the length of the original article. Start each body paragraph with a topic sentence. Each paragraph focuses on a separate main idea and just the most important details from the article. Put the ideas from the article into your own words. DO NOT copy phrases and sentences from the article. Quote Use at least one quote in the article to support your ideas and place in quotation marks. Reaction How do you feel about this event? How does this event affect you? World Impact How does this event impact the world? Concluding Paragraph. Summarize the main idea and the underlying meaning of the article. Current Event Topics may include: The Economy and You (Chapters 1-2-3-4) Scarcity Supply and Demand Economic Systems Employment/Unemployment Factors of Production Inflation/Deflation Business Cycle Business Ethics Social Responsibility Sweatshops OSHA Safety issues in the workplace Code of Ethics FDA EPA Owning and Operating a Business (Chapters 5-6-8-9) Entrepreneurship Business Ownership Leadership Qualities Management Styles Technologies Influence on Business e-Commerce Marketing to the Consumer (Chapters 13-14) Functions of Marketing Selling Distribution Marketing Research Advertising Managing Business Finances (Chapters 17 & 28) Financial Planning Accounting Budgeting Financial Records Personal Money Management Planning a personal budget Income and Expenses Developing a Career Plan (Chapter 20-21) Careers / Jobs Career Planning and Options Job Openings Employability Skills Resumes and Job Applications The Job Interview     Your Name / Class Period BMF Current Event Date Article Title (Exact Wording) Article Source (Where did you get it) Assigned: Wed, Apr 18, 2012 Due Date: Fri, May 11, 2012 ?@AQh , 鿬mXI6%hAz7htcB*CJ OJQJaJ phhtchtcB*CJaJph)hhhtcB*CJOJQJ^JaJph,h<htc5B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hhhtcB*CJOJQJ^JaJph%htchtcB*CJOJQJaJph%htchtcB*CJ$OJQJaJ$phhhB*CJ$aJ$phhtcB*CJ$aJ$ph"hhB*CJ$aJ$mHnHphu+jhg?B*CJ$UaJ$mHnHphu;A ACDEFGgdAz7h^hgd$ & Fgd$gd$ & Fgdtch^hgdh & Fgdhgdtc$ <T]Ta$gdh$a$gdAz7$a$gdtc, 4   $       1 3 < Q S _ p_p_p_p_p_p_Qphh>*B*CJaJph htchh>*B*CJaJphhtchhB*CJaJph%hAz7hhB*CJ OJQJaJ phhhB*CJaJph%hAz7htcB*CJ OJQJaJ phhtchtcB*CJaJph)hhhtcB*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hhhtcB*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hhhhB*CJOJQJ^JaJph_  I J O i @ABGH1g󬠑o\L<h<B*CJOJQJaJphh$B*CJOJQJaJph%hAz7h$B*CJ OJQJaJ ph%hAz7h$B*CJOJQJaJphhAz7hAz7B*CJaJphhAz7hAz7B*CJ aJ phhAz7B*CJaJph3jhAz7B*CJOJQJUaJmHnHphuh$h$B*CJaJphh$htcB*CJaJphhAz7h$B*CJ aJ phh$B*CJaJphGHh )o < js & F[$\$gd< & F[$\$gd$ & F[$\$gd$ [$\$gd$ & Fgd$gdAz7gh '()MO jsCDRXYj~ҿ߬ߜߌzezP(hz0hg?5B*CJOJQJaJph(hz0hg?5B*CJ(OJQJaJ(ph"hz05B*CJ(OJQJaJ(phhg?B*CJOJQJaJphhz0B*CJOJQJaJph%h$h$B*CJOJQJaJph%h<h<B*CJOJQJaJphh$h$OJQJ^Jh<B*CJOJQJaJphh$B*CJOJQJaJphsCDYjk'=Ip[$\$`gd8 [$\$gdg? & F[$\$gd$ & F[$\$gd<~$%(IYbiqr "#%&(),Q^vϿϿϬyh$B*CJOJQJaJphh$h$CJaJh$h$CJaJh#/jh#/U%hz0hz0B*CJOJQJaJphh) 4B*CJOJQJaJphhz0B*CJOJQJaJphhg?B*CJOJQJaJphh8B*CJOJQJaJph- 1=>i%@\[$\$`gd) 4 [$\$gd) 4 [$\$gdg?\qr !"$%'(*+,gd$[$\$`gdz0 [$\$gdz0 [$\$gdg?
