Reasoning is the process of forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences from facts or data Reasoning and logic are often used interchangeably Logic is a description of the rules and/or steps behind the reasoning process â€¹#â€º â€¹#â€º Â© 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. Two Arguments Argument 1: The companies profits are up more than 10% over the past year. An increase in profits of 10% is the result of excellent management. You were the manager over the past year. Therefore, I conclude that you engaged in excellent management last year. Argument 2: Ten of your 300 employees came to me with complaints about your management. They indicated that you treated them unfairly by not giving them a raise they deserved. Therefore, I conclude that all of your employees are disgruntled with your management. â€¹#â€º â€¹#â€º Â© 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. Understanding Reasoning In presenting the two arguments, the goal is not to make a definitive decision about which you believe (if either) The goal is to think about and distinguish different â€œlinesâ€ of reasoning In distinguishing between the different types of reasoning, you will be able to establish why you believe or question the claims made in the two arguments â€¹#â€º â€¹#â€º Â© 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. Two Major Types of Reasoning Reasoning Deductive Reasoning Inductive Reasoning Both play an important role in interpreting and drawing conclusions from data analysis â€¹#â€º â€¹#â€º Â© 2019 McGraw-Hill Education.

APA, 7th ed. must be followed, minimum of 500 words and 2 scholarly references. No plagiarism please. CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildrenâ€™s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a s.

Question 2: Libya recently announced that it is claiming a 200-mile zone off its coast as its territorial waters (and airspace). To stake its claim, Libya placed armed warships across the 200 mile line and warned the world that this line constitutes a â€œline of deathâ€ to anyone who might cross it. Customary International Law establishes that States may only claim 12 miles off their coast as territorial waters. Immediately, the Security Council adopts a resolution condemning Libyaâ€™s actions as â€œviolating international law and constituting a threat to the peace.â€ The Resolution, however, stated nothing about using force against Libya. The United States, pursuant to Congressional authorization, sends armed warships and three fighter jets to patrol the 200 mile zone. The U.S. warships and Fighter Jets never came closer than 30 miles to the Libyan coast. After a Libyan ship fired at one of the fighter jets, the U.S. warships and fighter jets returned fire, destroying two Libyan ships. Did the U.S.â€™s actions violate the U.N. Charter? Even if the U.S. did not violate the Charter, should the United States care whether its actions violated the U.N. Charter? (At least 300 words). .

Question- Topic 5 DQ 1 A doctoral learner has decided to do a case study for his/her proposed dissertation research study topic because it is believed to be the best approach to address the research questions. The researcher's choices of data sources for this particular study are to conduct interviews, to conduct observations, and to conduct focus groups. Will these data sources generate the breadth and depth of the data necessary for this design? Why or why not? What challenges might the researcher encounter in collecting data from these sources? Explain. Student 1 - Heather R. Conducting interviews, observations, and focus groups as data collection methods meets the requirement of using three or more data sources to answer the research questions of a descriptive case study. Both interviews and focus groups generate rich descriptive data that can yield in-depth analysis during triangulation, a technique used for checking and comparing the collected data (Forrest- Lawrence, 2019). When interviews and observations are used as data sources in a qualitative case study design, they add depth and breadth to the study and help get the most complete answer to the research question. Researchers may have trouble with interviews and focus groups if they don't have the skills to ask open-ended questions and dig deeper, or if they don't know enough about the participants' cultures to understand what they're doing when they conduct observations. According to Schoch (2020), this requires the implementation of protocols that are important for ensuring uniformity between interviews or for ensuring that interviewers know what they are looking for when conducting observations. References Forrest-Lawrence, P. (2019). Case study research. In (Ed.), Handbook of research methods in health social sciences (pp. 317â€“331). Springer Singapore. Schoch, K. (2020). Case study research. Research design and methods: An applied guide for the scholar-practitioner , 245-258. Student 2 - JuanG A researcherâ€™s mission in a case study design is to pursue solid data collection illustrating his/her proposed study topic phenomenon. Moving into the data collection for case study Nilmanat (2021) suggests a researcher conducts certain surveys, observation, and focus groups, and where each type of source allows a researcher to build data giving a distinction between the weakness and strengths of a case study. Enhancing a case study can be done by generating a foundation to portray adequate description of methodology by assessing specific criteria within the frameworks from a perspective of existing problems and current practices of related parties (Alma, 2021). Equally important to case study data collection is challenges. Challenges regarding specific criteria list by Nilmanat (2021) concludes a case study data collection as being time consuming since the data could be expansive and a need to develop volumes of data, as well as inconsistencies between the methodology, design, and th.
