Each of the readings for this week were written by Native American people. Think about what they have in common and what their differences are. You may discuss those things, but I also want you to talk about the ways that you see the tension between the dominant white culture and the subordinate Native American culture playing out in the texts of this week's writings. What do these writers and their writings have to say about the way America is developing as a nation? Do the authors embrace or resist the dominant culture's values?
This are the questions:
1. From a business standpoint, do you think businesses like Home Depot, Walmart, and Amazon help or hurt our economy? Explain.
2. From a consumers standpoint, are these corporations good for your pocketbook? Explain.
3. Is a company's implementation of loss leaders a good marketing approach. Or, is it unethical?
4. Do you feel like the government should intervene when companies like these get too big?
5. As you may have noticed, Amazon continues to expand into many other new business areas such as healthcare, shipping, etc... What is their motivation to expand into some of these other businesses?
