Entrepreneurism in America is the lifeblood of a powerful economic system called capitalism. No matter how young or old, from mega-corporations like Amazon to the slight Lil’ Brian’s Produce store in Theodore, Alabama, America’s entrepreneurs are the backbone of the strongest economy in the universe, including Mars.
Read the article titled “11-Year-Old Opens Thrift Shop to Help Families in Need” by reading this interesting article. (Links to an external site.)
Your 100-word (minimum) comment must specifically address Obocho’s mother’s comment about his success that “You have to nurture kids when they come up with ideas and you have to pay attention to everything they say because they’re telling you how to groom them to be a better version of themselves.”
Your response must mention Obocho and his mother by name and must include the name of Obocho’s business.
CAUTION: In your response, avoid simply repeating the writer of the article. Your job as a writer is to provide an opinion about the article. Your writing is required in this assignment.
This is not an essay assignment, just your comments. Do not format your comments like an essay; simply type your comments in the Discussion “Ꞁ Reply” box.
Notice that the Reply box contains a word count meter at the bottom right. When you finish entering your reply, press the blue “Post Reply” button.
Double-spacing is not required for Discussion comments.
Any quotations, direct or indirect, used in Discussion comments will not be counted as part of the word count requirement.
NOTE: Canvas “Discussions” is an open forum. Other students in the class will be able to read and comment on your response; however, commenting on another student’s post is optional but not an assignment. Accumulatively, the grades on Discussion assignments count 5% of the course grade.
The initial post by a student for Discussion topics is the only post assigned or credited for submission of any Discussion assignment.
Post the Week 3 Discussion comments no later than the due date.
Throughout the course, do not include hyperlinks or attachments in your Discussion comments.
This instructor reserves the prerogative to redact inappropriate comments in all Discussions.
ANOTHER NOTE: Because of my oversight on the Week 2 Discussions assignment that does not allow students to respond to other students’ post, when that assignment expires, my plan is to publish a compilation of student responses and post them in Module 2. An announcement will be made.
My thanks to one of your classmates for bringing that faux pas (Links to an external site.) to my attention. I cannot mention the name of that student, but her initials are Kimberly Wilson. Good eye!
