  • Title: Evaluating the Strengths and Weaknesses of an Argument

    In this assignment, you will summarize and evaluate one of the articles we have read since Writing Assignment 1 was due (anything after 2/25).
    Choose an article a passage or idea from some text we have read after Writing Assignment 1. Then summarize that idea or pasage according to the instructions in Writing Assignment 1. Next, evaluate the author’s reasoning. Your evaluation should correctly identify strengths and weakness in their reasoning. Be sure to:
    Evaluate the truth of the argument’s premises.
    Evaluate the strength of the connection between premises and conclusion.
    Consider how the author of the argument would respond to your evaluation. What is your answer to this response.
    State whether or not you think the argument works.
    Target: 550 words
    Advice:
    Focus on the reasoning of the argument, not the mode of presentation.
    Be specific about strengths and weakness in the argument.
    Your evaluation should be unbiased: evaluate the quality of the argument independently of your prior stance on the author’s conclusion. Being unbiased does not mean being neutral, however: you should identify whether or not your think the argument works and why.

  • Reproductive Ethics: A Reflection on the Debate over Assisted Reproduction

    this week we are covering reproduction ethics. It is usually a touchy subject and one with strong opinions. However, I want you to make sure you are using the ethical theories and NOT religious stances for your opinions. I will not accept religious points, instead, use your ethical theory (none of the Utilitarian ones – they are too easy to defeat) to defend your stance. Also remember, this is not just about abortion, it’s reproductive ethics which also covers assisted reproduction, multiple gestations, surrogacy, and elderly parents – see Chapter 5 – DO NOT IGNORE this aspect in your template. 
    In the scenario assignments, you are asked to reflect on responses to the presented scenario. It should not just be writing down your first reaction or what you already know.
    Reflection involves critical thinking, which means rethinking your existing knowledge and previously held opinions in light of what we have learned about theories of ethics, logic, and reasoning. You will need to question your current knowledge and beliefs. Discuss the main points of the debate, what stance you take, support that stance, and discuss the opposing argument. Also, discuss an ethical theory that would apply to defend your view.
    To complete each scenario assignment:
    1.       Complete the entire scenario.
    2.       Fill out the template attached below, ask your professor for details on submission. 
    3.       Compose the last question on the template reflection in a Word document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:
    Why do you feel the way you do about the issue presented?
    Of the four responses offered in the scenario, which do you think is the most ethical and why?
    Which ethical theory would you use to support your stance? Why does this theory work?
    4.       Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, including a minimum of one theory of ethics to defend your stance.
    5.       Your reflection must be 1-2 pages in length and follow APA formatting and citation guidelines as appropriate, making sure to cite at least two sources.

  • “Striking the Balance: Inclusive Marketing Strategies for Diverse Audiences”

    Companies must walk a fine line when promoting their products and services to diverse audiences. The most popular brands have loyal audiences, and those audiences want those brands to respect their values. At the same time, society is changing. For example, most Americans are much more accepting of LGBTQ communities, and they expect to see members of those communities represented in marketing efforts for those products. Companies often achieve this by running advertisements that show individuals, couples, groups, and families that portray heterosexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people enjoying their products. They may also make use of social media and provide their products to influencers from a variety of backgrounds. Of course, those who consider themselves part of the core consumer group for a product may take offense if they feel the company is straying too far from its traditional marketing message. In trying to be inclusive, companies may alienate their traditional customers and lose sales or find themselves caught up in controversy. Examples of companies or products that have found themselves in such controversies include Disney, Bud Light, and Target. For this discussion, imagine that you work in social media marketing for a product or service of your own choosing. Your bosses are committed to inclusive practices, but they are also mindful of not losing sales or becoming embroiled in controversy. In your initial post, please respond to the following. What product or service are you marketing? Why did you choose it? Briefly share with us how you would market your product or service in an inclusive fashion. What efforts, if any, might you make to steer clear of controversy?

  • Title: Understanding Public Corruption: Individual, Organizational, and Societal Explanations and Solutions

    Explain each of the following regarding public corruption:
    individual explanations
    organizational explanations
    societal explanations
    Provide examples of each theory in the areas of literature, art, culture, music, or film that would suggest approval or disapproval of the theory. For example, briefly discuss a movie that includes racial or gender equity issues as a form of individual or organizational corruption and explain how the conduct is viewed and interpreted. Another option would be to discuss a novel that examines the issue that you have read and presents relevance. Be sure to cite the source of the example(s) in your references pages.
    Include a suggestion on how to reduce/eliminate each type of corruption listed above and explain why it would work. This suggestion should be evidence-based, meaning that the solution is one that is recognized within the larger law enforcement or criminal justice field. Opinions are also acceptable, but they should also be academically supported.
    Use at least two credible outside research sources (at a minimum), including academic journals, to support your view. The paper should be 3–5 pages, excluding title page and reference page.
