Imagine that you have been appointed as the Chief Compliance Officer of a Fortune 500 company of your choice and must prepare a presentation for your suppliers regarding your Supplier Code of Conduct to deliver via a web meeting. This assignment has two parts. For the first part, you are to create a five to seven (57) minute dynamic video on your companys Code of Conduct. You may use any type of recording device you have to create this videosmartphone, laptop, webcam, or other type of video recorder. The specific points to cover for this video are listed below. As an alternative to the video, you may submit a four to six (46) page paper that details what you would say in such a presentation following the same prompts as the video assignment below. For the second part of the assignment, you will create a presentation using PowerPoint (or other equivalent software) summarizing the important changes and explanations regarding the code of conduct that you communicated in your video/paper presentation to email to the suppliers after the meeting for future reference. The specific points to cover are listed below. You must submit both parts of the assignment to receive full credit. Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app. Once you are ready to upload your video to Blackboard, view the Kaltura video tutorial found in your online course shell (Week 9).

View the video Kalachakra: Wheel of Time (on attachment). This video shows events that occurred in 1994 when a group of Tibetan monks from northern India traveled to Dublin to create a peace mandala for Ireland. They created and then ritually disassembled a sand mandala of Kalachakra in support of world peace and Irish peace. This was done in a very public setting, and the film shows how people of Dublin reacted to and were affected by their first direct encounter with Tibetans and Tibetan rituals and ideas; as well as the monks reaction to their first experience in the West, and their encounters with ancient Celtic religious art. Write a short response piece (about two pages double-spaced) to the film, with an emphasis on discussing why you think Tibetan monks from India, who are refugees from violence themselves and live as a minority in India, might have gone to such an effort to try to help bring peace to another culture on an island so far away from them.
