Provide a 825 word analysis – in APA format – of the Chocolate Factory cases (both A&B) Discuss the challenges (or roadblocks) that the Cadbury family faced over time? Distinguish between roadblocks arising from the growth of the family, market developments, and institutions (legal regulations) Discuss the merger and later de-merger of Cadbury and Schweppes? What are the driving forces behind both the merger and the de-merger? Is being big the best way to protect family control? What is the role of regulation in this case? Given that Nestlé was protected by ownership rules whereas the British companies were not allowed to merge, is this fair? Is it relevant to apply ‘national interest’ to the chocolate industry? What are the decisive factors in the success of Kraft’s takeover of Cadbury? Do you agree with the chairman of the board that the family had no other option in the end? The hedge funds acted aggressively when it was rumoured that Cadbury might be taken over – from having 5% of ownership to almost a third of its shares, which they were willing to sell for a 20p profit per share. Discuss the role of hedge funds in destabilizing ownership of public traded family firms. Would it be better to regulate the ownership of hedge funds in public traded companies, forcing them to be longer term oriented

A) The societies that defined what historians dubbed the classical era were starting to decline by 500 C.E. due to the strains of internal power struggles and external invasions. In the wake of their collapse, the inhabitants of these regions discovered a need to re-establish political and social order, which gave rise to the prominent empires of the post-classical era. While some would re-institute a strong centralized authority, others would form regional kingdoms that lacked centralization, yet managed to thrive. Compare and contrast three (3) of the following: the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic Empire, the Sui and Tang dynasties, the regional kingdoms of India and western Europe. What social and political factors allowed for empire to flourish in some regions, but not the others? or B) One of the hallmarks of the post-classical era (500 – 1000 C.E.) was the rapid economic growth of the eastern hemisphere. The growth was the direct result of two reasons: a population explosion and an expansion of long-distance trade. What factors accounted for this massive increase in population? How did it facilitate the expansion of trade? What did this increase in wealth mean for the various powers in this period? or C) It could be argued that by 1000 C.E., there were two major religions that were defining Eurasia in terms of their growth and impact on the continent: Christianity and Islam. While Christianity became the major faith of western and eastern Europe, Islam started to take hold in the former kingdom of Persia and was spreading into Southeast Asia and Africa. Discuss both the similarities and the difference of each faith in the post-classical period (focus less on the doctrinal difference, but more on the social and political implications). What were the factors that attributed to its predominance in their respective regions? What made each faith so attractive to the masses? What role did missionaries play in aiding its spread throughout the continent?

Once you have read the whole of the book, give here your own, original summary analysis of Pellegrino’s To Hell and Back. Appleby, as you may recall, in “Discovering the Clay Feet of Science” discussed how the atomic bombings of Hiroshima were factors leading many to question scientism as an alternative to religion for providing overarching hope and meaning in life. Does Pellegrino’s account effectively strengthen or weaken the credibility of an argument from the World War II atomic bombings against scientism? What value is there in thoroughly recounting a nightmarish event such as the bombing of Hiroshima? After the war, both Americans and Japanese increasingly pointed to atomic bombing as the major reason Japan surrendered in 1945. Many historians, however, have argued that Japan’s leadership decided to surrender when they did more for other reasons–such as Russia’s sudden offensive movement against them, and fear of being occupied in the end by Russia, which country many assumed would be more vindictive than the U.S. What is the evidence in Pellegrino’s book: was it the atom bomb attacks that precipitated the Japanese surrender? Finally, who were the most inspiring, or otherwise striking, people in Pellegrino’s account, and what larger lessons does the book offer? What connections can you draw between 1945 Japan, as portrayed by Pellegrino, and the backstory of Japanese political, technological, and economic reform described in the below video? Having sought to join the industrial revolution, to live by the sword of industrial might, is it ironic–which is not the same thing as saying that it is fair–that at Hiroshima in 1945 a population of Japanese was made to die by the industrial sword, which slaughter their American foes justified to themselves largely by recalling the high-tech Japanese attack upon the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii four years earlier, in December of 1941?

Modern society often considers religious belief as something that is potentially (and even likely) to be divisive, and we are only too well aware of the acts of violence that can be done in the name of faith in our own era. How would someone of the pre-modern past (that is, prior to 1500) react to modern criticism regarding religious societies? To answer this question, consider three different societies (for example, Ancient Rome, the Muslim Caliphates, and one of the Qin dynasties) that we have spoken about during the semester and discuss what role religious belief played in their history. What would be their response to modern attitudes towards religious belief? What can we learn from their worldview?
