Rodney: The stories in One Thousand and One Nights provide important insights about genuine servant leadership characteristics such as virtue, compassion, tolerance, trust, and sacrifice. One example is found in "The Tale of the First Lady." In this narrative, the first lady demonstrates compassion and tolerance by remaining calm and kind in the face of envy and adversity. Despite being wrongfully accused and exposed to suffering, she remains faithful in her virtue and has complete faith in her own integrity. Her tenacity and capacity to rise above the envy thrown at her demonstrate the value of perseverance and ethical behavior in leadership.
In contrast, "The Tale of the Envious and the Envied" portrays a character who lacks these important leadership skills. In this story, the envier becomes jealous and resentful, resulting in harmful deeds against the envied. His inability to establish trust and tolerance, combined with his contempt for others' well-being, eventually leads to his own demise and emphasizes the risks of negative emotions in leadership.
Reflecting on these stories, it is evident that One Thousand and One Nights provides excellent leadership lessons. By exploring these stories, readers can learn about the characteristics of real servant leadership, such as the significance of retaining virtue, displaying compassion in the face of adversity, cultivating tolerance, earning trust through integrity, and making sacrifices for the common good. These characteristics not only define great leadership but also help to create resilient and peaceful communities. Through these stories, one can receive timeless wisdom that is still relevant in understanding and striving for exceptional leadership in the modern world.
Christopher: The stories in One Thousand and One Nights teach important authentic servant leadership such as compassion and virtue through a display of the characters decision making. In my opinion Shahryar does not exemplify these qualities in the way he punishes women with a lack of evidence. However Aladdin does demonstrate this as he shows much compassion towards others, such as the Genie who helps him. In my opinion the rankings are as follows; Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, The Fisherman and The Jinni, finally The Tale of Scheherazade. The first was the most entertaining to me with the adventure and thrill it had lead by morality. The second was meaningful to me due to its lesson of how wisdom is obtained. The Tale Of Scheherazade is important because it explains how storytelling is a tool for survival. I would compare Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves to the modern film Oceans Eleven because both are centered around thieving important items. In week 3 we discussed Authentic Servant Leadership while examining themes related to real life that showed back up in this weeks reading of, “One Thousand and One Nights,” this research paper will explore how literature reflects moral values that are used worldwide.
MAT 200 Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. Responses to your peers must be substantive and should critique their solutions to help them correct or improve their work. Do not solve the problem for them if they have posted incorrect work.
Jalen:
a) State the mean and standard deviation of the standard normal curve.
The standard normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
b) For the standard normal curve, find the z-score that corresponds to the 20th percentile.
Using the z table in appendix b of our textbook, I found that the closest z-score to 20% is at -0.84 with a probability of .2005.
c) Does this mean that 20% of z-scores are below or above the z-score that you found in part b?
In other words, 20% of z-scores are less than -0.84. The region to the left of the score is the cumulative distribution function, which is the likelihood that a continuous random variable is less than or equal to the z-score. Since the overall area under the standard normal curve is 1, you would remove the probability from 1 to find the area to the right, or the probability that a continuous random variable will be bigger than the z-score. Hence, 1-.20 =.80, or 80%, are above -0.84 for this problem.
Emma:
- a) Given a normal distribution with μ = 60 and σ = 10, what random variable (x) corresponds to the 98th percentile? Conclude your post with: Only 2% of x values will be above 80.5.
60+2.05x10=80.5
b) Given a normal distribution with μ = 60 and σ = 20, what random variable (x) corresponds to the 98th percentile? Conclude your post with: Only 2% of x values will be above 101__.
60+2.05x20=101

Kayla: The automobile made the largest contribution to the evolution of American culture after World War I. Henry Ford started the production of the automobile for what it is today. The automobile replaced the horse and wagon and was powered by a combustion engine that allowed it to turn the wheels. (Marshall, J., 2024, p. 1) Americans could start living farther away from their jobs because of the automobile. Some of these vehicles evolved into buses, which was another way for individuals to get around. The automobiles led to other vehicles being made such as trailers and tankers which were both used for the army.
There were many other contributions to the American culture after World War I such as sports, recreation, movies, and the airplane. Including the automobile, all of these were beneficial to any civilian in America. Most people wanted some type of entertainment so they could turn to recreational activities like movies or sports. The airplane distributed mail which is how information got around America. Even so, the automobile played the biggest role in American culture following World War I.

Torey:
During and after the events of World War 1, we have seen many changes when it comes to American culture. Movies, sports, recreation, and automotives, they have all impacted the culture in some way. However, there is one that stands out the most that has influenced the most change. I feel that automotives significantly helped change America’s culture as well as its history.
By having the mobility to travel back and forth between work and home made having an automobile such a convenience. Of course, America had railroads but even they could prove to be an inconvenient service at times. With the introduction of automobiles, people could now have their own means of transportation and did not have to rely on any scheduling of any sort in order to get around (Marshall, 2024). Automobiles have also played their roles in future wars as they were dispatched and made traveling much easier. Eventually they became more advanced; gaining their own advancements, such as tanks, which made them even more suitable for war. "By 1918, over 600,000 trucks were in service, due in a large part to the war effort." (Marshall, 2024). It would be unwise to let the impact of automobiles go unnoticed.
Automobiles have also been seen to make impacts on the other changes that were mentioned as well. Let's take sports for example, NASCAR is one of the biggest sports which utilizes racing automobiles as a sport. NASCAR has become one of the biggest sensations in America which furthers the point. They've even made their roles prominent in movies which makes it even more interesting as you can see how automobiles evolved over time. As for the impact, we can say that automobiles have had both a negative and positive reception. Due to the amount of pollution that is faced with automobiles, we have seen the increase in talk that automobiles have played a role in shaping the pollution. However, as time continues to move forward, we are starting to see many changes with automobiles which could counter our pollution problem. With all being said, automobiles are probably the most impactful of them all as it has helped with the economy and our social lives.
