Unit 3 The interaction function
The document discusses the interaction function in organisms. It describes how organisms detect stimuli through receptors, coordinate responses through nervous or endocrine systems, and carry out responses through effectors. Specifically:
1) Organisms detect environmental changes and stimuli through receptor organs like eyes, ears, and skin.
2) The nervous system captures signals rapidly and coordinates responses through neurons, while the endocrine system produces hormones to trigger slower, longer-lasting responses.
3) Effectors then carry out the responses through actions like muscle movement, secretions, and behavior changes.

1. The document discusses a reading passage about biological control of spotted knapweed using gall flies. It introduced how the gall fly was imported to control the weed, but unexpectedly caused deer mice populations to increase, spreading hantavirus.
2. The document covers various language points from the reading, including word meanings, grammatical structures, and idioms. It also asks comprehension questions and discusses opinions of different scientists mentioned in the passage.
3. The fundamental assumption of biological control, known as the "natural enemies hypothesis", is questioned in the passage as factors beyond natural enemies may influence populations. Climate and competition could play larger roles than previously thought.
Ch 5
The document discusses key concepts around niches and interactions between species in an ecosystem. It defines niche as the role and habitat of a species, including biotic and abiotic factors. It explains that species compete for resources if their niches overlap too much. Specialized species have narrow niches and are more vulnerable to extinction from environmental changes. Convergent evolution and coevolution can cause different species to evolve similar traits to fill similar niches or as they interact and exert selection pressures on each other over time.

Running head:RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT PROFILE
Organism Profile: Red Imported Fire Ant (RIFA)
Abstract
Solenopsis invicta,commonly known as the Red imported fire ant is a species of ant
native to South America.Like many other insects,its body is segmented into head, thorax and
abdomen.It is characterised by a reddish brown colour with dark abdomen,an uneven thorax
and three teeth.It has a life cycle that begins with egg,which hatches to larva.Larva becomes
pupa which eventually becomes an adult ant in 20-25 days.It has two mandibles used for
cutting, biting, digging and carrying materials.Generally, the queens live longer than the

workers.Red imported fire ant has spread to infest over 260 million acres since its accidental
importation from South America to Mobile, Alabama over 60 years ago.These insects are
hard to eradicate due to their quick reproduction,They have a negative effect to ecology as
they destroy farmers’ crops.(Anna Thanukos,2015).
Introduction
Regarded as one of the most invasive insect,Solenopsis invicta commonly known as
the Red imported fire ant is believed to have arrived in the seaport of Mobile,Alabama by
cargo between 1933 and 1945.It was initially found in the South American
deserts.However,since its importation to Alabama,it has spread to many of the southern
United States including Florida,Georgia,Mississipi,Arkansas,South & north
Carolina,Texas,Lonisiana,Tennessee,New mexico,Oklahoma and Colifornia.This species also
occurs in other contries such Australia,Caribbean and in south eastern China states such as
Guangdong,Guangxi,Fujian,Macau,Taiwan and Hongkong.(Ward,2009)
Background
The Solenopsis invicta is reddish brown in color,with a dark abdomen and has six
clawed legs.It is usually 4-24 mm tall ,⅛- ¼ inches long and 9 mm wide .Like many other
insects,its body is segmented into head, thorax and abdomen.The abdomen contains the
heart,venom and the digestive system.(Karthy,2014).Its two mandibles are useful in
cutting,biting,digging and carrying of materials.Its thorax is usually uneven.Its also
characterised by three teeth,large eyes,ten antennal segments with two segment clubs and has
no wings.The queens are usually larger than the workers.These insects are very aggresive and
have a very quick reproduction.(Durham,2008).

Running head:RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT PROFILE
Mating usually happens during the nuptial flight period,mostly during the warmer
seasons of the year.During this period, the queens release pheromones which attract the
males.One queen may mate with several males.After mating, the sperm is stored in the
apermatheca inside the queens abdomen where it can last throughout her lifetime fertilizing
tens of millions of eggs.The queen lays dozens of eggs which hatch into larvae within 10
days.The larvae turn into pupae which then turn ...

2. Some of the pioneers in ethology discussed are Nikolaus Tinbergen who studied stickleback fish fixed action patterns and sign stimuli, and Konrad Lorenz who demonstrated parental imprinting in birds.
3. Genetic and environmental factors both contribute to behavior as shown by studies of human twins and animal cross-fostering experiments. behaviors evolve
Animal behavior
Animal behavior is influenced by both innate responses and learned experiences. Ethologists study behaviors using the frameworks of proximate causation (mechanisms that trigger behaviors) and ultimate causation (evolutionary reasons for behaviors). Key findings include fixed action patterns triggered by sign stimuli, circadian rhythms, habitat imprinting, associative learning, and optimal foraging driven by inclusive fitness and kin selection. Behaviors evolve through natural selection to promote survival and reproduction.

Final Paper
Your final paper should discuss similarities and differences between the human language and animal communication systems. You should compare and contrast the two systems in one or more of the following aspects:
· Mechanism – how individuals produce and perceive communicative signals
· Ontogeny – how individuals learn and become mature communicators
· Function – how properties of the communicative system affect the individuals’ chance of survival and reproduction
· Phylogeny – how properties of the communicative system have evolved over time
· Complexity – how complex the communicative signals can be
Your final paper should be around 2,000 words. As for formatting, I recommend 12 point font, double spaced,1 inch margin all around. As for citation, direct quotes from class materials are prohibited. You should explain or describe them in your own words. If you incorporate materials from elsewhere, you must cite your sources properly. You can choose any citation style (e.g. APA, MLA, IEEE) as long as you are consistent throughout the paper.
I will grade your paper according to the following rubrics:
- Ideas and Content: whether your paper contained insightful theses supported by relevant, accurate, and specific evidence from appropriate sources
- Organization: whether your paper followed a clear and logical train of thought
- Originality: whether the ideas are expressed in your own words
- Conventions: whether you used correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, citation (if any)
This assignment pertains to learning objectives CLO4, CLO5, and GELO2:
· Understand how to analyze animal communication systems in terms of the four explanatory principles of ethology: adaptation, mechanism, ontogeny, and phylogeny.
· List the essential design features of human language, and to explain how our language differs from the communication systems of other animal species.
· Distinguish science from pseudo-science.
Here are some information might be helpful:
Q: You suggested that we compare/contrast in terms of mechanism, ontogeny, function, phylogeny, complexity. How many of those aspects should we address in the paper -- just one, all of them, or any number of them?
A: Any number of them.
I recommend that you specify what aspects of communication you plan to discuss early on in the paper (e.g. in the introductory paragraph).
Q: Do we pick just one animal (e.g. bottlenose dolphins) and compare its language with humans or can we discuss more than one?
A: As many animals as you find relevant to the discussion.
To be more precise, the goal of the assignment is to let you think about how human language is similar to and different from languages of other animals in general. That is, the focus is on humans rather than a particular animal of your interest. So a structure that I recommend is first list several properties of human language that you want to focus on and then find examples of one or more animals to compare/contrast for each propert.

Unit1 ppt Classification of Organisms
Scientists group living things through a process called classification. They place organisms into hierarchical groups like kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species based on shared characteristics. The five kingdoms are animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Animals are further divided into vertebrates, which have backbones, and invertebrates, which do not. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Plants are grouped based on whether they are nonvascular, vascular, gymnosperms, which bear naked seeds, or angiosperms, which bear seeds in fruits. Classification makes the study of life easier by organizing how organisms are alike

The document discusses the biological components of an ecosystem. It identifies four main biotic components:
1) Producers (plants) that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
2) Consumers at different trophic levels, including primary consumers (herbivores that eat plants), secondary consumers (carnivores and omnivores that eat herbivores) and tertiary consumers (top predators).
3) Scavengers that eat and break down dead consumers.
4) Decomposers like bacteria and fungi that break down remains and release nutrients back into the environment.

Delusional Disorders
Pakistani hought Processes
BACKGROUND
The client is a 34-year-old Pakistani female who moved to the United States in her late teens/early 20s. She is currently in an “arranged” marriage (her husband was selected for her since she was 9 years old). She presents to your office today following a 21 day hospitalization for what was diagnosed as “brief psychotic disorder.” She was given this diagnosis as her symptoms have persisted for less than 1 month.
Prior to admission, she was reporting visions of Allah, and over the course of a week, she believed that she was the prophet Mohammad. She believed that she would deliver the world from sin. Her husband became concerned about her behavior to the point that he was afraid of leaving their 4 children with her. One evening, she was “out of control” which resulted in his calling the police and her subsequent admission to an inpatient psych unit.
During today’s assessment, she appears quite calm, and insists that the entire incident was “blown out of proportion.” She denies that she believed herself to be the prophet Mohammad and states that her husband was just out to get her because he never loved her and wanted an “American wife” instead of her. She tells you that she knows this because the television is telling her so.
She currently weighs 140 lbs, and is 5’ 5”
SUBJECTIVE
Client reports that her mood is “good.” She denies auditory/visual hallucinations, but believes that the television does talk to her. She believes that Allah sends her messages through the TV. At times throughout the clinical interview, she becomes hostile towards the PMHNP, but then calms down.
You reviewed her hospital records and find that she has been medically worked up by a physician who reported her to be in overall good health. Lab studies were all within normal limits.
Client admits that she stopped taking her Risperdal about a week after she got out of the hospital because she thinks her husband is going to poison her so that he can marry an American woman.
MENTAL STATUS EXAM
The client is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event. She is dressed appropriately for the weather and time of year. She demonstrates no noteworthy mannerisms, gestures, or tics. Her speech is slow and at times, interrupted by periods of silence. Self-reported mood is euthymic. Affect constricted. Although the client denies visual or auditory hallucinations, she appears to be “listening” to something. Delusional and paranoid thought processes as described, above. Insight and judgment are impaired. She is currently denying suicidal or homicidal ideation.
The PMHNP administers the PANSS which reveals the following scores:
-40 for the positive symptoms scale
-20 for the negative symptom scale
-60 for general psychopathology scale

Running head:RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT PROFILE
Organism Profile: Red Imported Fire Ant (RIFA)
Abstract
Solenopsis invicta,commonly known as the Red imported fire ant is a species of ant
native to South America.Like many other insects,its body is segmented into head, thorax and
abdomen.It is characterised by a reddish brown colour with dark abdomen,an uneven thorax
and three teeth.It has a life cycle that begins with egg,which hatches to larva.Larva becomes
pupa which eventually becomes an adult ant in 20-25 days.It has two mandibles used for
cutting, biting, digging and carrying materials.Generally, the queens live longer than the

workers.Red imported fire ant has spread to infest over 260 million acres since its accidental
importation from South America to Mobile, Alabama over 60 years ago.These insects are
hard to eradicate due to their quick reproduction,They have a negative effect to ecology as
they destroy farmers’ crops.(Anna Thanukos,2015).
Introduction
Regarded as one of the most invasive insect,Solenopsis invicta commonly known as
the Red imported fire ant is believed to have arrived in the seaport of Mobile,Alabama by
cargo between 1933 and 1945.It was initially found in the South American
deserts.However,since its importation to Alabama,it has spread to many of the southern
United States including Florida,Georgia,Mississipi,Arkansas,South & north
Carolina,Texas,Lonisiana,Tennessee,New mexico,Oklahoma and Colifornia.This species also
occurs in other contries such Australia,Caribbean and in south eastern China states such as
Guangdong,Guangxi,Fujian,Macau,Taiwan and Hongkong.(Ward,2009)
Background
The Solenopsis invicta is reddish brown in color,with a dark abdomen and has six
clawed legs.It is usually 4-24 mm tall ,⅛- ¼ inches long and 9 mm wide .Like many other
insects,its body is segmented into head, thorax and abdomen.The abdomen contains the
heart,venom and the digestive system.(Karthy,2014).Its two mandibles are useful in
cutting,biting,digging and carrying of materials.Its thorax is usually uneven.Its also
characterised by three teeth,large eyes,ten antennal segments with two segment clubs and has
no wings.The queens are usually larger than the workers.These insects are very aggresive and
have a very quick reproduction.(Durham,2008).
Life cycle

Running head:RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT PROFILE
Mating usually happens during the nuptial flight period,mostly during the warmer
seasons of the year.During this period, the queens release pheromones which attract the
males.One queen may mate with several males.After mating, the sperm is stored in the
apermatheca inside the queens abdomen where it can last throughout her lifetime fertilizing
tens of millions of eggs.The queen lays dozens of eggs which hatch into larvae within 10
days.The larvae turn into pupae which then turn ...

2. Some of the pioneers in ethology discussed are Nikolaus Tinbergen who studied stickleback fish fixed action patterns and sign stimuli, and Konrad Lorenz who demonstrated parental imprinting in birds.
3. Genetic and environmental factors both contribute to behavior as shown by studies of human twins and animal cross-fostering experiments. behaviors evolve
Animal behavior
Animal behavior is influenced by both innate responses and learned experiences. Ethologists study behaviors using the frameworks of proximate causation (mechanisms that trigger behaviors) and ultimate causation (evolutionary reasons for behaviors). Key findings include fixed action patterns triggered by sign stimuli, circadian rhythms, habitat imprinting, associative learning, and optimal foraging driven by inclusive fitness and kin selection. Behaviors evolve through natural selection to promote survival and reproduction.

Final PaperYour final paper should discuss similarities and diff.docx
Final Paper
Your final paper should discuss similarities and differences between the human language and animal communication systems. You should compare and contrast the two systems in one or more of the following aspects:
· Mechanism – how individuals produce and perceive communicative signals
· Ontogeny – how individuals learn and become mature communicators
· Function – how properties of the communicative system affect the individuals’ chance of survival and reproduction
· Phylogeny – how properties of the communicative system have evolved over time
· Complexity – how complex the communicative signals can be
Your final paper should be around 2,000 words. As for formatting, I recommend 12 point font, double spaced,1 inch margin all around. As for citation, direct quotes from class materials are prohibited. You should explain or describe them in your own words. If you incorporate materials from elsewhere, you must cite your sources properly. You can choose any citation style (e.g. APA, MLA, IEEE) as long as you are consistent throughout the paper.
I will grade your paper according to the following rubrics:
- Ideas and Content: whether your paper contained insightful theses supported by relevant, accurate, and specific evidence from appropriate sources
- Organization: whether your paper followed a clear and logical train of thought
- Originality: whether the ideas are expressed in your own words
- Conventions: whether you used correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, citation (if any)
This assignment pertains to learning objectives CLO4, CLO5, and GELO2:
· Understand how to analyze animal communication systems in terms of the four explanatory principles of ethology: adaptation, mechanism, ontogeny, and phylogeny.
· List the essential design features of human language, and to explain how our language differs from the communication systems of other animal species.
· Distinguish science from pseudo-science.
Here are some information might be helpful:
Q: You suggested that we compare/contrast in terms of mechanism, ontogeny, function, phylogeny, complexity. How many of those aspects should we address in the paper -- just one, all of them, or any number of them?
A: Any number of them.
I recommend that you specify what aspects of communication you plan to discuss early on in the paper (e.g. in the introductory paragraph).
Q: Do we pick just one animal (e.g. bottlenose dolphins) and compare its language with humans or can we discuss more than one?
A: As many animals as you find relevant to the discussion.
To be more precise, the goal of the assignment is to let you think about how human language is similar to and different from languages of other animals in general. That is, the focus is on humans rather than a particular animal of your interest. So a structure that I recommend is first list several properties of human language that you want to focus on and then find examples of one or more animals to compare/contrast for each propert.

Unit1 ppt Classification of Organisms
Scientists group living things through a process called classification. They place organisms into hierarchical groups like kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species based on shared characteristics. The five kingdoms are animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Animals are further divided into vertebrates, which have backbones, and invertebrates, which do not. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Plants are grouped based on whether they are nonvascular, vascular, gymnosperms, which bear naked seeds, or angiosperms, which bear seeds in fruits. Classification makes the study of life easier by organizing how organisms are alike

Delusional Disorders
Pakistani hought Processes
BACKGROUND
The client is a 34-year-old Pakistani female who moved to the United States in her late teens/early 20s. She is currently in an “arranged” marriage (her husband was selected for her since she was 9 years old). She presents to your office today following a 21 day hospitalization for what was diagnosed as “brief psychotic disorder.” She was given this diagnosis as her symptoms have persisted for less than 1 month.
Prior to admission, she was reporting visions of Allah, and over the course of a week, she believed that she was the prophet Mohammad. She believed that she would deliver the world from sin. Her husband became concerned about her behavior to the point that he was afraid of leaving their 4 children with her. One evening, she was “out of control” which resulted in his calling the police and her subsequent admission to an inpatient psych unit.
During today’s assessment, she appears quite calm, and insists that the entire incident was “blown out of proportion.” She denies that she believed herself to be the prophet Mohammad and states that her husband was just out to get her because he never loved her and wanted an “American wife” instead of her. She tells you that she knows this because the television is telling her so.
She currently weighs 140 lbs, and is 5’ 5”
SUBJECTIVE
Client reports that her mood is “good.” She denies auditory/visual hallucinations, but believes that the television does talk to her. She believes that Allah sends her messages through the TV. At times throughout the clinical interview, she becomes hostile towards the PMHNP, but then calms down.
You reviewed her hospital records and find that she has been medically worked up by a physician who reported her to be in overall good health. Lab studies were all within normal limits.
Client admits that she stopped taking her Risperdal about a week after she got out of the hospital because she thinks her husband is going to poison her so that he can marry an American woman.
MENTAL STATUS EXAM
The client is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event. She is dressed appropriately for the weather and time of year. She demonstrates no noteworthy mannerisms, gestures, or tics. Her speech is slow and at times, interrupted by periods of silence. Self-reported mood is euthymic. Affect constricted. Although the client denies visual or auditory hallucinations, she appears to be “listening” to something. Delusional and paranoid thought processes as described, above. Insight and judgment are impaired. She is currently denying suicidal or homicidal ideation.
The PMHNP administers the PANSS which reveals the following scores:
-40 for the positive symptoms scale
-20 for the negative symptom scale
-60 for general psychopathology scale
Diagnosis: Schizophrenia, paranoid type

From promise to reality
DELOITTE BLOCKCHAIN
At Deloitte, our people collaborate globally with clients, regulators, and policymakers on how
blockchain and digital assets are changing the face of business and government today. New
ecosystems are developing blockchain-based infrastructure and solutions to create innovative
business models and disrupt traditional ones. This is occurring in every industry and in most
jurisdictions globally. Our deep business acumen and global industry-leading audit, consulting,
tax, risk, and financial advisory services help organizations across industries achieve their
varying blockchain aspirations. Reach out to our leaders to discuss the evolving momentum of
blockchain and digital assets, prioritizing initiatives, and managing the opportunities and pain
points associated with blockchain adoption efforts. To learn more, let's talk.

Introduction: The
evolution of blockchain
MORE THAN A decade has passed since the introduction of what we know today as blockchain technology. Over that time,
the promise of what the technology could offer
businesses and industries has evolved from a
cryptocurrency payment platform to something
bigger, game-changing, and truly disruptive. In
recent years, we have seen sentiment about
blockchain’s potential similarly evolving, along
with companies directing actual investment
dollars toward applications.
In Deloitte’s 2019 Global Blockchain Survey,
we observed this continuing trend in thinking
and investment, even if some vestiges of doubt
and old-school thinking remained about the
technology’s promise.1 This year’s survey
suggests that those doubts are fading further,
and that blockchain is solidly entrenched in
the strategic thinking of organizations across
industries, sectors, and applications.
There are more substantive examples in
the marketplace of how both startups and
mature businesses are deploying blockchain.
Organizations appear to be more committed than
ever to blockchain and are demonstrating this by
implementing it as part of their normal course
of business.
That’s the key takeaway from our 2020 Global
Blockchain Survey, which finds that leaders no
longer consider the technology groundbreaking
and merely promising—they now see it as integral
to organizational innovation. This year, the C-suite
is putting money and resources behind blockchain
as a strategic solution in more meaningful and
tangible ways—in projects big and not so big—

Deliverable 5 - Hypothesis Tests for Two Samples
Competency
Formulate and evaluate hypothesis tests for population parameters based on sample statistics using both Critical Regions and P-Values, and be able to state results in a non-technical way that can be understood by consumers of the data instead of statisticians.
Dealing with Two Populations
Inferential statistics involves forming conclusions about a population parameter. We do so by constructing confidence intervals and testing claims about a population mean and other statistics. Typically, these methods deal with a sample from one population. We can extend the methods to situations involving two populations (and there are many such applications). This deliverable looks at two scenarios.
Concept being Studied
Your focus is on hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for two populations using two samples, some of which are independent and some of which are dependent. These concepts are an extension of hypothesis testing and confidence intervals which use statistics from one sample to make conclusions about population parameters. What to Submit
Your research, calculations, and analysis should be presented on the spreadsheet
provided.

Deliverable 4 - Global Environment Challenges
Competency
Create solutions for organizational and leadership challenges in a global environment.
Scenario
You are the HR Training and Development Manager at Lots of Stuff International, a global company. The company has offices around the globe, which requires employees to work with peers in multiple countries in cross-functional and cross-global teams. The company has recently conducted an employee engagement survey across all areas of the company. The results indicate a lack of engagement and satisfaction of employees who work in these global-cross functional teams. Upon investigation, you discover that employees indicate dissatisfaction with a lack of community and social interaction in their teams. They indicate this may be a function of culture and religious differences, time zone differences, or work ethic differences. This has led employees to be less invested in working together. The CEO, Ms. Amelia Rienhardt, has tasked you with creating a plan to develop community within these teams across the global workforce, with the end goal of enhancing engagement and satisfaction. This plan will be unveiled to all teams in a company-wide presentation.

Deliverable 03 - Humanities (Test-Out Sophia Replacement)
Competency
Formulate, express, and support individual perspectives on diverse works and issues.
Instructions
You will act as a critic for some of the main subjects covered in the humanities. You will conduct a series of short, evaluative critiques of film, philosophy, literature, music, and myth. You will respond to five different prompts, and each response should include an analysis of the topics using terminology unique to that subject area and should include an evaluation as to why the topic stands the test of time. The five prompts are as follows:
Choose a film and offer an analysis of why it is an important film, and discuss it in terms of film as art. Your response should be more than a summary of the film.
Imagine you had known Plato and Aristotle and you had a conversation about how we
fall in love
. Provide an overview of how Plato would explain falling in love, and then provide an overview of how Aristotle might explain falling in love.
Compare and contrast the two poems below:
LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
I love another, and yet I hate myself;
I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of my grief.
Petrarch
After great pain a formal feeling comes—
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
And yesterday—or centuries before?
The feet mechanical go round
A wooden way
Of ground or air or ought
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment like a stone.
This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived
As freezing persons recollect
The snow—
First chill, then stupor, then
The letting go
Emily Dickinson
4. Compare and contrast these two pieces of music:
Beethoven’s Violin Romance No. 2
Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag
5.Explain in classical terms why a modern character is a hero. Choose from either Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, or Ender Wiggins.

Definition of Ethos and How to Use it
1. Trustworthiness
Does your audience believe you are a good person who can be trusted to tell the truth?
2. Similarity
Does the writer try to get the reader to identify with him or her? This can be done through language
3. Authority
Does the writer have formal or informal authority? Does the writer try to relate to the reader?
4. Reputation
What are the expertise the writer uses? How many does he use? What are their areas of authority?
Logos: Logical reasoning, which has two bases:
Deductive reasoning, and
Inductive reasoning
Deductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning generally start with one or more premises, and then comes to a conclusion from them. Premises can be facts, claims, evidence, or a previously proven conclusion. The key is that in a deductive argument, if the writer’s premises are true, then the conclusion must be true.
1. Education determines one’s class base.
2. One’s class base will shape one’s employment.
3. Therefore, education will determine one’s employment.
Inductive Reasoning
Inductive reasoning is similar in that it consists of premises, which lead to a conclusion. The difference is that the conclusion is not guaranteed to be true — we can only state it with some degree of confidence.
For example, consider the following inductive argument:
5. All Six Minutes articles you have read in the past were insightful. (premise)
6. This is a Six Minutes article. (premise)
Therefore, this article is insightful. (conclusion)
How to Identify Logos
Make it Understandable: Does the writer make the argument understandable? What tools does he or she use to do this?
Make it Logical: Does the arguments make sense? Or does the writer require the reader to make an extreme leap of faith? How easy is it for the writer to make a connection to the argument?
Make it Real: Does the writer make the argument real? Is the argument concrete or abstract?
The language plain language: Does the writer use technical jargon or is a portion of language used for a specific reader that isn’t familiar with the reader?
Does the writer use short words and phrases over long and convoluted counterparts?
The language is explicit: Does the writer make his or her argument plain? What techniques does he or she use to establish explicit argument?
The writer uses a couple premises, to establish his or her position? Are they relatable? Do they show relationship between them? “And these five advantages — capital costs, scheduling, inventory control, marketing, and employee satisfaction — together make this a winning proposal.”
Trace sequences or processes in order.
Does the writer jump around to different places or is there an order to his or her steps that create clarity or confusion for the reader?
Use comparisons, analogies, and metaphors.
Does the writer introduce new concepts, with an appropriate analogy which helps the audience understand the new concept in terms of how they already understand the old one?.

Definition Argument Essay AssignmentGoal Write a 1,500.docx
Definition Argument Essay Assignment
Goal
Write a 1,500-1,750-word essay using five to seven academic resources in which you argue that a contested “case” involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs fits (or does not fit) within a given category. A case may include a specific news article, story, or incident illustrating a dilemma or controversy relating to the exchange of human organs. The case does not need to be a court case.
Directions
Follow these steps when composing your essay:
1. Start by selecting a controversial case found in the media involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. For example, an appropriate case might include a story in the news about an organ broker, and the term to define might be “criminal.”
2. Decide what category you think your case belongs in, with the understanding that others may disagree with you about the definition of your category, and/or whether your chosen case matches your category.
3. In the opening of your essay, introduce the case you will examine and pose your definition question. Do not simply summarize here. Instead, introduce the issue and offer context.
4. To support your argument, define the boundaries of your category (criteria) by using a commonly used definition or by developing your own extended definition. Defining your boundaries simply means naming the criteria by which you will discuss your chosen case involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. If you determine, for example, that an organ broker is a criminal, what criteria constitute this? A criminal may intentionally harm others, which could be one of your criteria.
5. In the second part of your argument (the match), show how your case meets (or does not meet) your definition criteria. Perhaps by comparing or sizing up your controversial case to other cases can help you to develop your argument.
This essay is NOT simply a persuasive essay on the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. It is an argumentative essay where the writer explains what a term means and uses a specific case to explore the meaning of that term in depth.
First Draft Grading
· You will receive completion points for the first draft based upon the successful submission of a complete draft.

Sources
· Include in-text citations and a references page in GCU Style for FIVE to SEVEN scholarly sources outside of class texts.
· These sources should be used to support any claims you make and should be present in the text of the essay.
· Use the GCU Library to help you find sources.
· Include this research in the paper i.

Defining Privacy in Employee Health ScreeningCases Ethical .docx
Defining Privacy in Employee Health Screening
Cases: Ethical Ramifications Concerning
the Employee/Employer Relationship
V
Michele Simms
ABSTRACT. Issues of privacy and employee health screen-
ing rank as two of the most important ethical concerns
organizations will face in the next five years. Despite the
increasing numbers of social scientists researching personal
privacy and the current focus on workplace privacy rights as
one of the most dynamic areas of employment law, the
concept of privacy remains relatively ahstract. Understand-
ing how the courts defme privacy and use the expectation of
privacy standards is paramount given the strategic impor-
tance of the law as a legal socializing agent. This article
reports on two federal court decisions involving employer
drug and HIV testing whose determinations relied on
assumptions about the psychological dimensions of privacy.
How the courts define privacy, the outcome of this defini-
tion and the ethical ramifications as it affects the employee/
employer relationship are discussed.
Introduction
Each year American companies require employees to
submit to millions of blood and urine tests, x-rays,
and other medical and laboratory procedures. "In
fact, with the exception of typing and similar skills
tests for office and clerical employees, medical
screening is the most widely used pre-employment
test in all major employment categories" (BNA,
1987). It is predicted that in the next five years
testing will become a standard requirement when
applying for employment and/or health and life
insurance (Rothstein, 1989).
Michele Simms, as an adjunct professor of business communication
and organizational behavior, has taught at the University of
Michigan, Wayne State University and Oakland University
schools of business in Michigan. In addition to teaching, she
consults in the areas of worksite wellness, alternative dispute
resolution, transition management and change.
One factor contributing to the increase in em-
ployee health screening is the development of drug
abuse and AIDS as socially compelling public health
concerns (Falco and Cikins, 1989) that are costly to
employers, thus leading to an increase and/or initia-
tion of drug and HIV testing in both private and
public sector employment. One concern associated
with health screening is the issue of privacy and the
parallel communication activity of self-disclosure
that is used to express and maintain privacy states.
The issues of privacy and testing involve the
fundamental conflict of ethical principles between
individual rights and public safety needs and are the
subject today of increasing legislative and judicial
activity. A peripheral ethical concern that has not
been addressed but of equal importance is whether
the psychological dimensions of privacy are ac-
knowledged in court decisions involving employer
health screening practices. Traditionally lawyers and
judges Htigate and decide cases based upon principles
of legal positivi.
