Book 2 Post 2

   For Book 2 I chose to read  Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color. I was originally attracted to this book because police brutality against people of color has been a center-stage issue recently. There has been a lot of light on cases of blatant police brutality against people of color. The cases in the news are shocking. It is hard to understand how this could happen in what we think to be an advanced, modernized and progressed society. It is equally hard to understand how these cases could happen more than once. The fact that a horrible police brutality injustice occurred once and immediate change wasn't made is hard to understand.  I liked this book because of its focus on women of color. In the media and even television and movies there is a heavy focus on police brutality against men. I liked that Ritchie forced readers to pay attention to the fact that women of color are disproportionally affected by police brutality. She...

Investment Proposal Final

  To:  Clark Hansen, CEO of AMDP From:  Ariya Nathu, Research and Development Analyst for AMDP Date:  March 10 th , 2023  Subject:  Investment Proposal of Lush Ltd.    After considerable research and analysis, I recommend that AMDP  does not invest  in Lush Ltd. Lush is a cosmetics company that continuously presents themselves as a socially responsible and environmentally friendly business. However, after further investigation, they are not transparent or as dedicated to their standards as they advertise. The company does not align with AMDP standards.      I will first highlight the guidelines that AMDP holds itself to. I will then present Lush’s background, financials, and claims about their sustainable and ethical standards. I will provide two expert sources that uncover the reality of Lush’s environmental and socially responsible practices. Finally, I will present my final recommendation.      AMDP Guide...

Book 2 Post 1

 For Book 2 I chose to read Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color. I wanted to read this book because the issue of police violence has been a pressing concern recently. I believe there is blatant injustice in this country when it comes to police violence and people of color. However, the issue of women and police violence has another layer to it that is not often discussed. That is why this book stood out to me. Police violence on its own is not discussed as openly and honestly as it should be. Despite the fact that there are clear and systematic issues with the police system and people of color, excuses are still made and the issues are not discussed in a candid manner. We continuously let these injustices go and watch as people die due to the injustice of police brutality. This book explores those issues and demands that people pay attention to and talk about what is happening around us. I have not gotten very far in the book so far, but I like...
