Introduction
This week you continue to work on your paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You have selected a topic and chosen issues related to that topic; this week, you will thoroughly research both sides of the issues you have chosen. Keep in mind that your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules; the assignment this week is to research both the pro and con sides of the issues you have chosen to address.
Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:
Week Task
Week 1 Topic Selection
Week 3 Issue Review (both sides)
Week 5 Thesis & Annotated Bibliography (both sides)
Week 7 Argumentative Paper
Instructions
This week, you will conduct an issue review for your selected topic for your project. Present a brief report of your research on both sides of the issue. This should include the following:
Citation of your sources
Links to the sources where available
Brief descriiption of the content of each of the sources (50 to 80 words for each source)
Your research review should address at least three (3) aspects of the issue that is the subject of your paper and must present at least one pro and one con article review on each aspect. Sources should be scholarly or of very high substantive quality.
Click on the following link to view an example. The first aspect is written out completely, with APA citation and brief descriiption of content. The next two aspects should be completely written out by you in your report, including correct APA citation and brief descriiption of content.
Example Issue Review
Issue: Legalization of Prostitution
Aspect 1: Safety
Pro: Stern, S. W., (2019). Sex workers of the world unite. The American Scholar, pp. 40-54.
The author presents the case, largely though the words of sex-workers themselves, for de-criminalization and for allowing sex workers to control the conditions of their work—that is, to operate brothels themselves, choose their physicians, provide and receive benefits, and work outside brothels if they so choose – which will make them safer and less apt to be exploited.
Con: Der Spiegel Staff. (2013, May). How legalizing prostitution has failed. Der Spiegel Online. https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/human-trafficking-persists-despite-legality-of-prostitution-in-germany-a-902533.html
Staff writers report that since de-criminalization of prostitution in Germany in 2003, exploitation and human trafficking remain significant problems. According to one German law enforcement officer, Germany is a “center for the sexual exploitation of young women from Eastern Europe, as well as a sphere of activity for organized crime groups from around the world” (Germany’s Human Trafficking Problem section)
Aspect 2: SESTA/FOSTA
Pro: (APA citation to article supporting SESTA legislation; brief descriiption of content)
Con: (APA citation to article against SESTA legislation; brief descriiption of content)
Aspect 3: Economics
Pro: (APA citation to article showing better income/standard of living after de-criminalization; brief descriiption of content)
Con: (APA citation to article showing real economic benefit is to pimps, traffickers brief; descriiption of content)
Because the topics vary widely, the nature of your research will also vary. If you are writing about gene therapy, for example, you will have to support your points with scholarly medical opinion. You may need to review researching techniques. Visit the research links provided in the Required Resources section in this activity for more information.

This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin™.
Instructions
In a business environment that stresses not only increased revenue, profit, and shareholders’ wealth, companies are now more fully cognizant of the importance of operating within an ethical framework. This can only be accomplished if there is an organizational culture that promotes ethical behavior and decision-making.
There have been reported cases of prominent companies that engaged in unethical practices, which have abused customer trust and damaged the company’s reputation. For this assignment, you will focus on unethical activities by Wells Fargo, Foxconn, Volkswagen, or Ferrero USA. If you prefer to investigate a different company, you can contact your professor for approval. Then, write a white paper addressing the following:
analyze the company decision-makers
examine the leader’s values
determine if a process is present
critique the organization based on your analysis
recommend a better approach to reduce ethical violations
Length: 3 to 4-page white paper. For guidance on writing a white paper, visit the “Writing a White Paper” libguide in the Weekly Resources.

Title: Leveraging Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Cloud Technology to Increase Competitiveness in the Marketplace: A Recommendation Plan for [Selected Organization]
For this Performance Task Assessment, you will act as a consultant to your chosen organization to provide recommendations on whether big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cloud technology can help the organization increase its competitiveness in the marketplace.
Assessment Submission Length: 8- to 14-slide PowerPoint presentation, with accompanying script
Big Data Analytics and Management Strategy Recommendation Plan
As a first step, you will need to select an organization to research and use as your own case study. The organization must be a real organization that is publicly traded. Review the following options to make your selection:
Large retail chain (e.g., Gap Inc.)
Online e-commerce business (e.g., Netflix)
As a part of Porter’s Five Forces Analysis, you will also need to research other companies in the industry of the organization you select to get some insights on how they use IT/IS as part of their business strategy.
The Scenario:
For this Performance Task Assessment, you will act as a consultant hired by an organization that is similar to Gap, Inc. (large retail chain) or Netflix (online e-commerce business). The CEO of your selected organization explains that they would like to know if information technology can help the company to increase its competitiveness in their industry, as well as how their competitors leverage big data analytics, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence for strategic advantage and to drive business value.
Utilizing the above scenario, prepare an 8- to 14-slide presentation (excluding title slide and references slide). You must also provide an accompanying document that contains detailed speaker notes or a script for each slide so that the reader can follow along better. Your speaker notes should include your rationale and assumptions that pertain to each slide. You also need to have a minimum of 6–8 citations and references to support your direction. Note: You may elect to include additional slides as part of an appendix if you have information you might reasonably assume that a CEO or upper management might want. It is not required that you do so. -
“Xác minh tính xác thực của sơ yếu lý lịch trong quá trình tuyển dụng và cách thức công chứng”
Sơ yếu lý lịch là một trong những tài liệu quan trọng đối với mỗi người khi đi xin việc, tuyển dụng công chức, viên chức… Vậy sơ yếu lý lịch có cần phải công chứng không?
Phương pháp gọi sơ yếu lý lịch công chứng có chính xác không?
Hiện nay, việc xin chứng thực sơ yếu lý lịch không yêu cầu chứng thực hoặc công chứng sơ yếu lý lịch. Tuy nhiên, tất cả các mẫu sơ yếu lý lịch đều có xác nhận của tổ chức hoặc nơi cư trú của bạn.

Theo Điều 15 Thông báo số 01/2020/TT-BTP, bản khai lý lịch cá nhân được dùng để xác thực chữ ký. Tuy nhiên, những người cung cấp lời khai không bình luận về những tuyên bố lịch sử của cá nhân mà chỉ ủng hộ lời khai.
Không chỉ vậy, Bộ Quốc tịch và Chứng nhận Quốc tịch khẳng định trong thông báo chính thức số 1520/HTTQTCT-CT:
Dù Luật Chứng nhận chưa được ban hành nhưng Bộ Quốc tịch, Quốc tịch và Chứng nhận đã đề nghị Bộ Tư pháp chỉ đạo UBND các xã, huyện, thị trấn trên địa bàn xác nhận lý lịch của người nộp đơn chỉ ở nội dung. ; Trong hồ sơ
Ngoài ra, sau khi ban hành Nghị định số 23/2015/ND-CP, cơ quan này đã có thông báo chính thức số 873/HTTQTCT-CT, trong đó đưa ra những quy định rất nghiêm ngặt về hồ sơ xác minh hồ sơ.
Vì vậy, UBND xã, UBND huyện, Bộ Tư pháp và các cơ quan, ban ngành khác chứng thực chữ ký trong lý lịch theo quy định tại Điều 3 Nghị định số 23/2015/ND – CP. 26.

Các văn bản, văn bản dịch từ tiếng Việt sang tiếng nước ngoài hoặc tiếng nước ngoài sang tiếng Việt (sau đây gọi là bản dịch) phải được công chứng theo quy định của pháp luật hoặc được cá nhân, tổ chức tự nguyện công chứng.
Từ những quy định này, chắc chắn rằng các sơ yếu lý lịch hiện tại chỉ có thể được công chứng chứ không có khái niệm về sơ yếu lý lịch được công chứng. Công chứng chỉ áp dụng cho hợp đồng, giao dịch, dịch thuật tài liệu…
Vì vậy, việc coi sơ yếu lý lịch có công chứng là sơ yếu lý lịch có công chứng là không đúng.
Làm thế nào để xác minh tính xác thực của sơ yếu lý lịch?
Việc xác minh lý lịch được thực hiện theo quy định tại Điều 3 Nghị định số 23/2015/ND-CP.

“Crafting a Compelling Treatment: Guidelines for Writing an Original Play or Movie Synopsis”
Guidelines for Original Play or Movie Treatment
You are going to write your own original play or movie treatment. A treatment is a synopsis of
a film or play idea. It is the step in between an outline and a script. This is generally what is
given to investors, script readers, producers and actors to gain their interest in a concept and
convince them to read the full script. This is a creative writing assignment. You are free to
create a treatment for any story idea you can imagine. We are all adults, so a low “R” rating is
acceptable, but let’s try not to get too graphic with sexual, violent or disturbing subject matter.
Format: Double-spaced, 12 pt. Courier font, black ink, justified 1″ margins
Cover Page
1. Title (14 to 16 pt. font, bold, centered)
2. The writer’s name and contact information
Intro and Cast Page
3. A short logline: Boils down a plotline to its essence, similar to a teaser trailer. Should
be 1 to 3 sentences. Don’t give away the ending!
4. Cast: Brief introduction to key characters
Treatment
5. 500 to 1000 words
6. It should read like a short story told in the present tense, describing events as they
happen.
7. It should be written in the third person. (Example: Jane sits down. She is exhausted.)
8. Who, what, when, why and where.
9. It should only include snippets of important dialogue, if any.
10. Help your audience to visualize your film. Allow them to smell, taste and experience
your environment.
11. Your treatment must be a complete story with an ending. It does not have to be a grand
epic masterpiece, but it does need to have a beginning, a middle and an end. “To be
continued…” is not acceptable.
