Is the press coverage the same between incidents in high school versus professional sports?

 

If sports are a microcosm of society, what do high school sports tell us about our society? Briefly discuss how and why the United States values high school sports. Also, discern whether there are value differences based on gender, ethnicity, race, or socioeconomic factors. Additionally, consider whether society’s values are truly reflected in high school sports. Lastly, compare high school controversies to the incident/event you selected for your final project.

Consider the following questions as you craft your initial post:

  • Is the press coverage the same between incidents in high school versus professional sports?
  • Are the societal perceptions and the impact on the surrounding society similar between high school and professional sports? Did the high school respond in a similar manner as the professional organization you chose for your incident?
Do you favor globalization of world markets?

Since the end of World War II, globalization of world markets has been increasing.
The main characteristics of globalization include free flow of goods and services
(International trade), and capital (foreign direct investments), less government intervention,
and regional and global integration. In addition, globalization is strengthened by cross-
national cooperation (e.g., the European Union) and institutions such as the World Trade
Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. Globalization is supported
by the argument that international trade and foreign direct investments result in a better
allocation of resources.
In the last few years however, the effectiveness of international trade and foreign direct
investments has been challenged as a growing number of governments have been questioning
the benefits of free flow of goods, services, and capital. In particular, the United Kingdom has
left the European Union (Brexit), the North American Free Trade Agreements (NAFTA)
has been revised, COVID-19, and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, are events that have
highlighted the potential risks of relying on international trade and foreign investments. As a
result, trade and investment sanctions have been imposed on some countries for political
reasons, supply chains for critical products have been disrupted, and multinational enterprises
are under increasing pressures to reduce their operations in foreign nations and invest more in
their home countries.

Question: Do you favor globalization of world markets?

cite
inside your answer (e.g.: MacMillan, 2022) two or more recent articles (no older than 2020)
from business periodicals such as Business Week, Forbes Magazine, Fortune Magazine, Wall
Street Journal, Financial Times, or any other relevant popular press (no textbook, Wikipedia, or
academic journal). At the end of your answer, provide complete references of the articles cited
(use any acceptable style if it is complete).

What is the “moat” of that company / stock?

In video below, Warren Buffet outlines the general criteria he uses to buy stock or entire companies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MHIcabnjrALinks to an external site.  Warren Buffet speaking to MBA class at U of Florida

Starting at 24:40 of the video, Buffet outlines several principles:

  1. Invest in what you understand
  2. A wonderful business
  3. The business is like a castle with a moat (e.g., low cost at Geico, share of mind at Coca Cola)
  4. A Duke (management team) who is honest and hardworking, who defends the castle
  5. Widen the moat, throw in alligators and sharks (e.g., increase the competitive advantage)
  6. It is a stock where he would be willing to put it in a drawer for 5 years and not look at it (e.g., confidence in a long-term investment)
  7. Don’t pay a totally stupid price

Question:  Imagine that you have inherited $100,000, on the condition that you use the money to buy 1 stock and hold it for 5 years – you can only sell after 5 years to get your money – i.e., analogous to putting 1 stock in the drawer and not looking for 5 years.

  1. What stock would you pick? (Give company name and stock symbol)
  2. What makes it a wonderful business?
  3. What is the “moat” of that company / stock?
  4. What is the company doing to widen the moat?
