Assignment 2: LASA 1: Course Project Task I Argument Paper Section 1 Your local town is addressing the following issues in its law-making: Should people under 18 be subjected to legal curfews or restricted driving privileges? Should libraries be required to install filtering software or otherwise censor the materials that they provide? Should insurance companies in your state be required to pay for breast reconstruction, birth control pills, or Viagra? Should the use of camera phones be banned in local gymnasiums or other locations? As an active citizen, you ask to research and present to the town's citizens one of the above issues. The governing body has agreed and asks that your presentation be specifically designed to show citizens of the community how and why one of the issues above is controversial and how to be educated consumers of information regarding this issue. They ask this because the citizens will be voting on these issues in future elections and the governing body wants its citizens to be properly educated on these topics. In your presentation, make sure you include the following: Remember, you are giving a presentation to an audience that does not know much, if anything, about your topic. Explain the issue, including definitions of common terms involved in the issue and why this issue is controversial. Identify and describe three to four different conclusions that are drawn when arguments related to the issue are made. Summarize the kinds of evidence typically used for each constructed argument related to the issue. Be sure to discuss the reasons these kinds of evidence are used and/or are most effective. Analyze how each of the different conclusions regarding the topic use particular evidence to support their claims, paying particular attention to analyzing how the conclusions rely on different facts, different sources of evidence, or different reasoning from other conclusions. In other words, explain why certain groups would use a particular type of evidence while an opposing group would use a different type of evidence, or how two groups can represent that same data in two completely different ways. Utilize at least three different sources and properly cite them throughout the presentation. The presentation should be 8 to 10 slides long, and each slide should have complete, formally written slide notes (proper grammar, APA formatting, and academic tone) for record-keeping purposes and in the event there are citizens who are deaf or hard-of-hearing at your presentation. The slide notes must include proper APA citation of sources, proper paragraphing, and proper grammar and tone. Visually, the slides should be easy to read. A properly APA-formatted reference page must be the last slide of your presentation. See the rubric for more specific requirements of the presentation.

The question is Should youth 18 years and younger have a legal c.docx
The question is : Should youth 18 years and younger have a legal curfew?
Using the information from the PowerPoint presentation you created in Module 3, write an Argument Paper that takes a position on the issue you selected. Be sure to include an explanation of the topic, possible viewpoints on the topic, your selected position on the topic, and appropriate evidence to support both your position and that of your possible opponents. Avoid the errors in reasoning that we have studied during the past five weeks by providing your argument in a logically defensible form.
Directions:
1. Provide a summary introduction that succinctly identifies and explains the chosen issue, including key terms.
2. Identify and explain one argument (pro or con) related to the chosen issue; either summarize an existing argument or construct an original one.
3. Identify and assess the type of evidence offered in support of the argument position. This will include identifying premises and conclusions.
4. Analyze the evidence by explaining how the evidence logically supports or fails to support the argument's conclusion, and critically evaluate the argument for any reasoning errors, accurately align the argument with the selected topic, and describe the source of the argument.
5. Next, identify and explain one counter argument (pro or con) related to the chosen issue and related to the first argument; either summarize an existing argument or construct an original one.
6. Identify and assess the type of evidence offered in support of the argument position. This will include identifying premises and conclusions.
7. Analyze the evidence by explaining how the evidence logically supports or fails to support the argument's conclusion, and critically evaluate the argument for any reasoning errors, accurately align the argument with the selected topic, and describe the source of the argument.
8. Critically assess which of the two arguments is superior; defend the judgment by explaining how and why. Explain the value of critical-thinking analysis in reaching this final conclusion.

Toulmin Model of Argument The twentieth-century British .docx
Toulmin Model of Argument:
The twentieth-century British philosopher Stephen Toulmin noticed that good, realistic arguments typically
will consist of six parts. He used these terms to describe the items.
Data: The facts or evidence used to prove the argument
Claim: The statement being argued (a thesis)
Warrants: The general, hypothetical (and often implicit) logical statements that serve as bridges between the
claim and the data.
Qualifiers: Statements that limit the strength of the argument or statements that propose the conditions under
which the argument is true.
Rebuttals: Counter-arguments or statements indicating circumstances when the general argument does not
hold true.
Backing: Statements that serve to support the warrants (i.e., arguments that don't necessarily prove the main
point being argued, but which do prove the warrants are true.)
Toulmin's diagram of arguments typically looks something like this example:
An argument written in this manner unfolds to reveal both the strengths and limits of the argument. This is as
it should be. No argument should pretend to be stronger than it is or apply further than it is meant to. The
point here isn't to "win" or "beat" all the counter-arguments; the point is to come as close to the truth or as
close to a realistic and feasible solution as we possibly can. Note that opening structure of "Data" leads to
"Claim with qualifiers" is similar to the structure of a thesis in the form of an enthymeme, in which [one
clause presenting a reason or evidence] leads to [another clause presenting an argument.]
Toulmin's model reminds us that arguments are generally expressed with qualifiers and rebuttals rather than
asserted as absolutes. This lets the reader know how to take the reasoning, how far it is meant to be applied,
and how general it is meant to be. Here is an example from John Gage's The Shape of Reason in which the
various parts of an argument are labeled:
Congress should ban animal research (Claim #1) because animals are tortured in experiments that
have no necessary benefit for humans such as the testing of cosmetics (Data). The well being of
animals is more important than the profits of the cosmetics industry (Warrant). Only congress has the
authority to make such a law (Warrant) because the corporations can simply move from state to state
to avoid legal penalties (Backing). Of course, this ban should not apply to medical research (Qualifier). A
law to ban all research would go too far (Rebuttal).
So, the law would probably (qualifier) have to be carefully written to define the kinds of research
intended (claim #2).
The Toulmin model is useful for analyzing an argument you are reading. That was Toulmin's original
purpose--the analysis of how arguments work. On the other hand, some students find it useful to use the
Toulmin model as a basis for structure and organization. We might organize our essay in the following

Steps to Completing the Assignment 1. Identify a top.docx
Steps to Completing the Assignment:
1. Identify a topical issue about child or adolescent development (e.g., should armed police
officers be stationed in schools? Is playing Fortnite and similar video games harmful to children?
What is effective ways to combat cyberbullying?). Perhaps select one of the issues in your In
the News source if you are interested in it, consider a topic you have heard about in your
classes, or search online to find other current issues.
2. Conduct a search for 4 non-scholarly sources (source comes from someone not
affiliated with a University). Find sources related to that topic that come from different media
sources (e.g., newspaper, magazine, blog, organization website, advertisement, TV,
documentary, book, personal interview, podcast, social media feed). You will be assessed on
how well you pick sources that demonstrate a connection to one another.
3. Search for 4 scholarly sources that address the topic you have selected. Again it is best
to find sources that address the claims of the non-scholarly articles as closely as possible.
Three of your sources must be empirical studies (data was collected and analyzed). One
of your sources should be a literature review. It is useful to find your literature review first, as
they usually provide sufficient background on the topic to help you understand the topic and find
additional scholarly sources.
Literature Review Paper
a. An introduction that presents the topic and main claim(s) you will be addressing in
your paper. The introduction should capture the reader's interest, present any
controversies in the topic, a thesis or question you will address in the paper, and an
outline of the rest of the paper.
b. Body of your paper organized in themes/sections. Within these sections you should
describe the claims and evidence from your sources. Present information about
positions your sources take, how they support those positions. Follow the description
with a critical evaluation of your sources. Explain the strengths and weaknesses of the
information provided by the source and unanswered questions or how the source
contributes to the topic and leads to the next paragraph.
c. Comparison of sources. You should make comparison among sources and your
evaluation of the sources. How do the sources support one another, refute one another,
and explanations for which sources were more impactful and why.
d. Conclusion. You should make conclusive statements about the topic/issue you are
addressing, implications of the issue to parents, teachers, counselors, or others in
interacting with children, and issues or factors that are left unresolved or unaddressed.

Ethical Dilemma:
Great job! Ethical dilemma is identified
correctly. You have also aptly described the
competing pulls on Luke and brought out the
ethical dilemma he faces here.
The Golden Rule:
Some good arguments made here towards theory
application, but it is not complete!
To apply this theory, you need to put him into
other relevant stakeholders’ shoes (such as ABC’s
stakeholders, other local community members,
regulatory authorities, etc.) and ask what he would
want himself to do in each case. Complete your
arguments from each stakeholder’s perspective.
The next question is how he prioritizes between
different choices.
You also need to consider the theory’s criticism
that the Golden Rule leads you to the best decision
only if you’re highly ethical. You need to discuss
what its implications are. What does this hold for
Luke?
Does this help you to make a recommendation to
Luke with greater support from the theory?
Consider ending this section with a preliminary
conclusion here, to sum up your recommendation
using this theory.
Virtue Ethics:
Some good arguments made to describe the
dilemma that Luke faces here, considering
competing values. So, what does he do?
Perhaps, you could argue this better using the
standards of Luke’s professional and social
communities, and the perspective of the disclosure
rule.
How would Luke feel if his professional community
was to come to know that he had informed his
brother about the upcoming project? What type of
person does Luke want to be (by reference to his
community)? What character traits does he want
to have?
Does consideration of the Disclosure Rule help you
make decision for Luke?
Final recommendation:
Your final recommendations for Luke needed to be
supported by arguments made towards
application of theories to case facts. Application of
theories to case facts needed to be done more
completely, as indicated above.
A little more support to your final
recommendations would make it more convincing.
Also, consideration of the criticism of the theories
may help decide which of the theories may be
more applicable in this case.
Understanding the theories, the case facts and the
approach to finding a solution to the given
problem needs to be tackled in a systematic
manner.
All relevant aspects of the theories, and the
choices and their consequences must be equally
considered.
Written communication:
Good effort! A little better organization of the
application of theories to the case facts will he.

Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away.

Case study
You work for accounting firm based in Barcelona. Recently there has been a joint venture with a UK company but working conditions have deteriorated with many complaints being made by both the Spanish and UK staff about the working styles of the others. Here are some examples of the complaints.
Spanish complaints about the British:
· “The bosses don’t act like managers, they don’t command authority – they want to consult their subordinates on everything, and I’ve even seen workers argue with the boss in meetings about ‘silly’ ideas – there is no respect!”
· “Some of the managers are so young! I don’t want to take order from a kid!”
British complaints about the Spanish:
· “There is so much inconsistency with the rules – they are always trying to make exceptions. Here, I have found it’s good to be friends with payroll department if you want to be sure to be paid on time! It shouldn’t be that way!”
· “They are incapable of making decisions without getting a group consensus- it makes everything so slow. Can’t they just make decisions for themselves sometimes?”
These complaints are symptomatic of two cultures that are distinct according to the findings of Hofstede and Trompenaars. Analyse the situation by not only identifying the dimensions that could be the cause of each complaint, but also examine what other difficulties they could cause and how the two cultures could work together better. You should back it up with evidence from Hofstede and Trompenaars.

English 1302 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project is the creation of a grant proposal.
The assessment for this course will be the construction of a grant proposal that targets a current need. The overall assessme nt will
demonstrate your ability not only to conduct research, but to think critically. Specifically, the paper will examine your ability to
address the following:
• Explanation of issues: Issue/problem to be considered critically is stated clearly and described comprehensively,
delivering all relevant information necessary for full understanding
• Evidence: Information is taken from source(s) with enough interpretation/evaluation to develop a comprehensive
analysis or synthesis. Viewpoints of experts are questioned thoroughly.
• Influence of context and assumptions: Thoroughly analyzes own and others’ assumptions and carefully evaluates the
relevance of contexts when presenting a position.
• Your position: Specific position is imaginative, taking into account the complexities of an issue. Limits of position are
acknowledged. Others’ points of view are synthesized within position.
• Conclusions and related outcomes: Conclusions and related outcomes are logical and reflect your informed
evaluation and ability to place evidence and perspectives discussed in priority order.
The project will be broken up into different sections throughout the semester and at the end you will combine each section in to one
complete paper.
Some examples of grant proposal ideas have included:
• An elementary school has over 50 at-risk-students with behavior issues who are at risk with learning. This directly affects their
ability for future success in school. A grant was submitted to support the development of a music program directly targeting
the lessons being taught to improve memory.
• The implementation of logotherapy with failing high school students to improve behavior and help change the attitude of these
students.
This project is divided into four parts, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure
quality final submissions. These different parts are: Problem Identification, Literature Review, Justification, and the creation of a
PowerPoint Presentation to be submitted during finals week.
Prompt
The grant proposal will contain the critical elements listed below.
I. Problem Identification: Research and identify resources for a specific issue that needs to be corrected (3 -4 pages). The
issue/problem to be considered critically is stated clearly and described comprehensively, delivering all relevant
information necessary for full understanding.
a. Prevalence: Determine a necessary program or service by examining current needs.
i. What is the issue you have chosen to address? Who is affected? What data do you have that points to the
prevalence of this issue.

This document provides more information about the portfolio project and guidelines to complete each
content area to the best of your ability. Use the information here and contained in the syllabus to answer
initial questions you may have. And don’t forget to include citations for every piece of text you reference
or use to help you formulate your own work. You can either include a short works cited/bibliography at the
end of each content area, or one large works cited/bibliography encompassing all content areas. Any style
is fine so long as it is consistent.
Meeting
You need to schedule a 30-minute meeting with me during the term. You should bring two content areas of
your choosing with you for review. These need to be full first drafts, not merely ideas or notes. I will read
as much as time permits to provide you feedback on how to improve these pieces of writing and approach
the remaining content areas. I will also give you a sense of where you stand with your APC grade.
Fallacies
For the fallacies content area, you should find examples of fallacies committed in texts or videos.* If all
else fails, create a dialogue between different persons that represents fallacious arguments you have heard
in the past or in which you were personally involved. After providing the fallacy, you should identify the
fallacy and then explain how this text, video, or dialogue commits this fallacy.
Students usually complete this section in one of three ways. One option is to provide a number of
examples with brief explanations (roughly 5-8 fallacies). The second option discusses fewer fallacies in
more depth (roughly 2-3 fallacies). Finally, other students take up some issue of the day and locate a
number of fallacies in arguments surrounding that issue. This third option usually involves discussing
fewer fallacies in depth as well, thereby overlapping with the second option.
Morals and Markets
While some people attempt to respond to the overall claims of Sandel’s book – and this is all well and good
– I encourage everyone to focus on at least two concrete cases or scenarios he raises. This will allow you
to provide a more in-depth response or investigate a case even further. Some people also use this as an
opportunity to perform light research in order to substantiate or criticize various points in the book. Feel
free to bring in other cases that display a dilemma of norms in a market-driven culture.
* You should not simply repeat fallacies from our textbook, another logic textbook, or some website
dedicated to explaining fallacies. There would be no point to such an exercise. The purpose is to display
that you can apply the concept of a fallacy to real-world cases, not ones already identified by others.
Finally, if you are wondering why I have included thi ...

Bioethics Case Study
1.
1.Bioethics Case Study: This assignment asks you to examine a current ethical controversy case study. The paper is informal, but should be in APA style, and does not need an abstract or cover page. With a minimum of two pages and a maximum of four pages A reference page is needed. In-text citations should be in APA format. Papers will be graded on a 0 to 25-point scale.
Case Study in Primary care:
One hypothetical case study involves Jim a 54, year old patient who has recently diagnose with hypertension and his Creatinine and BUN laboratory results are elevated, if left untreated, will result in kidney failure. The patient refuses to take the medication because he said it will affect his sex life The NP must work with the patient to respect the fact that he doesn’t want the medication (autonomy), and needs to find a solution that would prevent him from going into kidney failure and other complications, which is in his best interest (beneficence). Although medications are the best choice, forcing the patient to accept the medication will result in probably patient leaving the care (non-maleficence). Finally, the NP needs to consider the impact that the patient’s choices might have on others if he starts to go into preventable kidney failure, he’ll need dialysis, which affects other people who need the same treatment (justice). So before making the final decision the NP must consider all four principles of health care ethics, which will help the NP make the choice that will have the best possible benefits for both the patient and society.
Questions?
1. What are the skills necessary for the provider to identify, address, and assess this clinical ethical issue?
2. What are the provider’s obligations when a patient discloses does he not intent to follow the treatment?
3. What are the ethical considerations in evaluating a patient’s failure to adhere to a prescribed therapy?
4. Will you terminate care for this patient? What are the implications?

English 1: Argumentative Essay Assignment
The Assignment: Write a six-to-ten page argument paper that addresses a current issue that will address our theme of the impact of technology on communication on ourselves, on our world and on what it means to be human (Barrios, 583). The topic and the issue for this paper is the same as your exploratory paper assignment. The purpose of this paper is to present your position on the issue and then argue why by presenting your own reasons and evidence to support your thesis statement.
Locating Sources for Research. The purpose of the exploratory paper was to explore different writers and their position, their perspective, and the types of evidence they used in order to form your own position and perspective. You have three sources that you may use in your paper. For this paper, you must include a variety of sources; they cannot all come from Web sites. Search SMC’s library online catalog, search for a book, search online databases, find newspaper articles, use the search engine Google scholar at www.google.com, or www.yahoo.com . In addition, observations or experience from your personal life are not allowable. Refer to the following handouts: “Research Guide for Papers,” “Sources Acceptable for Academic Papers.” Both of these handouts are on eCompanion. If you include an article from a Website, there must be a date and a sponsor/publisher. If this is not available you cannot use this source.
Thesis Statement and Claim: Does your thesis clearly include a claim? Is it arguable? Does it take a perspective on an issue? Is it narrow and specific enough for the length of this assignment? Is it focused on one subject? Is it a claim of policy where you argue that certainpolicies should be changed? Is it a claim of value where you argue that some action, belief, or policy is morally wrong, good, or bad? Once your claim is clear, you must develop reasons that match and correspond to the type of claim being made.
Audience/Point of View: An effective argument is tailored to its audience. The reasons and the types of evidence you offer, the needs and values to which you appeal, terms defined, all depend on your audience and the type of claim. Ask: What does your audience know or not know about your topic? The audience is your instructor and classmates. Never assume that the audience is familiar with your topic or terms. You may need to include definitions and relevant details to help the audience understand your position in the first body paragraph. For this argument essay, you will use only the third-person point of view. No, “I” “We” or “You.”
Content/Body Paragraphs. For the length of this assignment, you should have at least three-to-four distinct and relevant reasons to support your thesis. Follow the guidelines for writing the argument paper when developing your reasons. Use the “because” clause approach.

12 Reasons for Rhetorical Analysis updated 2023 intel tuesday docu 5.docx
Role of Speaker
Informative Speakers Are Objective
Most public speaking texts discuss three general purposes for speeches: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. Although these general purposes are theoretically distinct, in practice, they tend to overlap. Even in situations when the occasion calls for an informative speech (one which enhances understanding),
often persuasive and entertaining elements are present. First, all informative speeches have a persuasive component by virtue of the fact that the speaker tries to convince the audience that the facts presented are accurate (Harlan, 1993). Second, a well-written speech can make even the most dry, technical information entertaining through engaging illustrations, colorful language, unusual facts, and powerful visuals.
Informative Speakers are Credible
An objective approach also enhances a speaker’s credibility. Credibility, or ethos, refers to an audience’s perception that the speaker is well prepared and qualified to speak on a topic (Fraleigh & Tuman, 2011). Peterson, Stephan, and White (1992) explain that there are two kinds of credibility; the reputation that precedes you
before you give your speech (antecedent credibility) and the credibility you develop during the course of your speech (consequent credibility). In many cases, the
audience has no prior knowledge of the speaker, so they make judgments about the quality of the evidence and arguments in the speech. In addition, they look at and listen to the speaker to determine if s/he is a reliable source of information.
Informative Speakers Are Knowledgeable
Good informative speeches contain a number of different source citations throughout the speech. To show that the information you present is accurate

The topic is whether democratic leadership is always preferable. .docx
The topic is whether democratic leadership is always preferable.
There are a lot of angles you can take, but one big job is
to "unpack" the term 'democratic': what does it really mean? What
does it imply?
Here are some angles:
1. All organizations need good two-way communication to succeed. It
is difficult to envision how can this be achieved in the absence of a
democratic culture.
2. Many organizations require secrecy in order to function properly.
But secrecy seems to be in conflict with democracy, because it limits
information to some decision-makers.
3. All organizations require obedience, yet, the obligation to obey
doesn't seem to fit well in a democratic context. (Or does it?)
4. Democracy requires compromise, yet sometimes an organization
needs "uncompromising leadership" in order to thrive. (Or not?)
5. Organizations thrive on expert decision-making, yet democracy does
not seem to be compatible with this, since everyone is involved in
the decision-making. In other words, often democratic leadership
leads to mediocrity.
Help me think of more angles.

Assignment 2 Exploring the Art of Indigenous Cultures Part 1All .docx
Assignment 2: Exploring the Art of Indigenous Cultures: Part 1
All of the indigenous cultures that we have explored this week were at one time “discovered” by European explorers who often collected traditional art objects to take back with them to Europe as “curiosities.” These
objets d’art
inspired collectors and artists alike and opened the Western world up to new ideas, new cultures, and new art forms.
This is Part 1 of a two-part assignment and spans
Weeks 3 and 4
. Imagine that you are one of these intrepid European explorers who has set out to discover and collect the traditional art forms created by the four cultures we have learned about this week:
India
China
Korea
Japan
As you “travel” and collect two works from each of your four cultures, you need to document some important field notes that will help you to explain what these treasures are upon your return home. These field notes need to include for each work of art:
Name of the culture that produced the object
Title or name of the object
Date of the object
Medium/materials used to create the object
Current location
Assignment Instructions
Using the textbook and Internet sources, locate 2 traditional works of art from India, China, Japan, and Korea. Copy and paste the 8 objects into your Microsoft Word document and label each one:
Name of the culture that produced the object
Title of the work
Date of the work
Medium/materials used to create the work
Current location
Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information you found in the textbook and on the Internet.
Use your textbook to find out as much as you can about cultural context for each object. Go online and find some reference sources to provide you with more information.

Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

Case study
You work for accounting firm based in Barcelona. Recently there has been a joint venture with a UK company but working conditions have deteriorated with many complaints being made by both the Spanish and UK staff about the working styles of the others. Here are some examples of the complaints.
Spanish complaints about the British:
· “The bosses don’t act like managers, they don’t command authority – they want to consult their subordinates on everything, and I’ve even seen workers argue with the boss in meetings about ‘silly’ ideas – there is no respect!”
· “Some of the managers are so young! I don’t want to take order from a kid!”
British complaints about the Spanish:
· “There is so much inconsistency with the rules – they are always trying to make exceptions. Here, I have found it’s good to be friends with payroll department if you want to be sure to be paid on time! It shouldn’t be that way!”
· “They are incapable of making decisions without getting a group consensus- it makes everything so slow. Can’t they just make decisions for themselves sometimes?”
These complaints are symptomatic of two cultures that are distinct according to the findings of Hofstede and Trompenaars. Analyse the situation by not only identifying the dimensions that could be the cause of each complaint, but also examine what other difficulties they could cause and how the two cultures could work together better. You should back it up with evidence from Hofstede and Trompenaars.

English 1302 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project is the creation of a grant proposal.
The assessment for this course will be the construction of a grant proposal that targets a current need. The overall assessme nt will
demonstrate your ability not only to conduct research, but to think critically. Specifically, the paper will examine your ability to
address the following:
• Explanation of issues: Issue/problem to be considered critically is stated clearly and described comprehensively,
delivering all relevant information necessary for full understanding
• Evidence: Information is taken from source(s) with enough interpretation/evaluation to develop a comprehensive
analysis or synthesis. Viewpoints of experts are questioned thoroughly.
• Influence of context and assumptions: Thoroughly analyzes own and others’ assumptions and carefully evaluates the
relevance of contexts when presenting a position.
• Your position: Specific position is imaginative, taking into account the complexities of an issue. Limits of position are
acknowledged. Others’ points of view are synthesized within position.
• Conclusions and related outcomes: Conclusions and related outcomes are logical and reflect your informed
evaluation and ability to place evidence and perspectives discussed in priority order.
The project will be broken up into different sections throughout the semester and at the end you will combine each section in to one
complete paper.
Some examples of grant proposal ideas have included:
• An elementary school has over 50 at-risk-students with behavior issues who are at risk with learning. This directly affects their
ability for future success in school. A grant was submitted to support the development of a music program directly targeting
the lessons being taught to improve memory.
• The implementation of logotherapy with failing high school students to improve behavior and help change the attitude of these
students.
This project is divided into four parts, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure
quality final submissions. These different parts are: Problem Identification, Literature Review, Justification, and the creation of a
PowerPoint Presentation to be submitted during finals week.
Prompt
The grant proposal will contain the critical elements listed below.
I. Problem Identification: Research and identify resources for a specific issue that needs to be corrected (3 -4 pages). The
issue/problem to be considered critically is stated clearly and described comprehensively, delivering all relevant
information necessary for full understanding.
a. Prevalence: Determine a necessary program or service by examining current needs.
i. What is the issue you have chosen to address? Who is affected? What data do you have that points to the
prevalence of this issue.

This document provides more information about the portfolio project and guidelines to complete each
content area to the best of your ability. Use the information here and contained in the syllabus to answer
initial questions you may have. And don’t forget to include citations for every piece of text you reference
or use to help you formulate your own work. You can either include a short works cited/bibliography at the
end of each content area, or one large works cited/bibliography encompassing all content areas. Any style
is fine so long as it is consistent.
Meeting
You need to schedule a 30-minute meeting with me during the term. You should bring two content areas of
your choosing with you for review. These need to be full first drafts, not merely ideas or notes. I will read
as much as time permits to provide you feedback on how to improve these pieces of writing and approach
the remaining content areas. I will also give you a sense of where you stand with your APC grade.
Fallacies
For the fallacies content area, you should find examples of fallacies committed in texts or videos.* If all
else fails, create a dialogue between different persons that represents fallacious arguments you have heard
in the past or in which you were personally involved. After providing the fallacy, you should identify the
fallacy and then explain how this text, video, or dialogue commits this fallacy.
Students usually complete this section in one of three ways. One option is to provide a number of
examples with brief explanations (roughly 5-8 fallacies). The second option discusses fewer fallacies in
more depth (roughly 2-3 fallacies). Finally, other students take up some issue of the day and locate a
number of fallacies in arguments surrounding that issue. This third option usually involves discussing
fewer fallacies in depth as well, thereby overlapping with the second option.
Morals and Markets
While some people attempt to respond to the overall claims of Sandel’s book – and this is all well and good
– I encourage everyone to focus on at least two concrete cases or scenarios he raises. This will allow you
to provide a more in-depth response or investigate a case even further. Some people also use this as an
opportunity to perform light research in order to substantiate or criticize various points in the book. Feel
free to bring in other cases that display a dilemma of norms in a market-driven culture.
* You should not simply repeat fallacies from our textbook, another logic textbook, or some website
dedicated to explaining fallacies. There would be no point to such an exercise. The purpose is to display
that you can apply the concept of a fallacy to real-world cases, not ones already identified by others.
Finally, if you are wondering why I have included thi ...

Bioethics Case Study
1.
1.Bioethics Case Study: This assignment asks you to examine a current ethical controversy case study. The paper is informal, but should be in APA style, and does not need an abstract or cover page. With a minimum of two pages and a maximum of four pages A reference page is needed. In-text citations should be in APA format. Papers will be graded on a 0 to 25-point scale.
Case Study in Primary care:
One hypothetical case study involves Jim a 54, year old patient who has recently diagnose with hypertension and his Creatinine and BUN laboratory results are elevated, if left untreated, will result in kidney failure. The patient refuses to take the medication because he said it will affect his sex life The NP must work with the patient to respect the fact that he doesn’t want the medication (autonomy), and needs to find a solution that would prevent him from going into kidney failure and other complications, which is in his best interest (beneficence). Although medications are the best choice, forcing the patient to accept the medication will result in probably patient leaving the care (non-maleficence). Finally, the NP needs to consider the impact that the patient’s choices might have on others if he starts to go into preventable kidney failure, he’ll need dialysis, which affects other people who need the same treatment (justice). So before making the final decision the NP must consider all four principles of health care ethics, which will help the NP make the choice that will have the best possible benefits for both the patient and society.
Questions?
1. What are the skills necessary for the provider to identify, address, and assess this clinical ethical issue?
2. What are the provider’s obligations when a patient discloses does he not intent to follow the treatment?
3. What are the ethical considerations in evaluating a patient’s failure to adhere to a prescribed therapy?
4. Will you terminate care for this patient? What are the implications?

English 1: Argumentative Essay Assignment
The Assignment: Write a six-to-ten page argument paper that addresses a current issue that will address our theme of the impact of technology on communication on ourselves, on our world and on what it means to be human (Barrios, 583). The topic and the issue for this paper is the same as your exploratory paper assignment. The purpose of this paper is to present your position on the issue and then argue why by presenting your own reasons and evidence to support your thesis statement.
Locating Sources for Research. The purpose of the exploratory paper was to explore different writers and their position, their perspective, and the types of evidence they used in order to form your own position and perspective. You have three sources that you may use in your paper. For this paper, you must include a variety of sources; they cannot all come from Web sites. Search SMC’s library online catalog, search for a book, search online databases, find newspaper articles, use the search engine Google scholar at www.google.com, or www.yahoo.com . In addition, observations or experience from your personal life are not allowable. Refer to the following handouts: “Research Guide for Papers,” “Sources Acceptable for Academic Papers.” Both of these handouts are on eCompanion. If you include an article from a Website, there must be a date and a sponsor/publisher. If this is not available you cannot use this source.
Thesis Statement and Claim: Does your thesis clearly include a claim? Is it arguable? Does it take a perspective on an issue? Is it narrow and specific enough for the length of this assignment? Is it focused on one subject? Is it a claim of policy where you argue that certainpolicies should be changed? Is it a claim of value where you argue that some action, belief, or policy is morally wrong, good, or bad? Once your claim is clear, you must develop reasons that match and correspond to the type of claim being made.
Audience/Point of View: An effective argument is tailored to its audience. The reasons and the types of evidence you offer, the needs and values to which you appeal, terms defined, all depend on your audience and the type of claim. Ask: What does your audience know or not know about your topic? The audience is your instructor and classmates. Never assume that the audience is familiar with your topic or terms. You may need to include definitions and relevant details to help the audience understand your position in the first body paragraph. For this argument essay, you will use only the third-person point of view. No, “I” “We” or “You.”
Content/Body Paragraphs. For the length of this assignment, you should have at least three-to-four distinct and relevant reasons to support your thesis. Follow the guidelines for writing the argument paper when developing your reasons. Use the “because” clause approach.

12 Reasons for Rhetorical Analysis updated 2023 intel tuesday docu 5.docx
Role of Speaker
Informative Speakers Are Objective
Most public speaking texts discuss three general purposes for speeches: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. Although these general purposes are theoretically distinct, in practice, they tend to overlap. Even in situations when the occasion calls for an informative speech (one which enhances understanding),
often persuasive and entertaining elements are present. First, all informative speeches have a persuasive component by virtue of the fact that the speaker tries to convince the audience that the facts presented are accurate (Harlan, 1993). Second, a well-written speech can make even the most dry, technical information entertaining through engaging illustrations, colorful language, unusual facts, and powerful visuals.
Informative Speakers are Credible
An objective approach also enhances a speaker’s credibility. Credibility, or ethos, refers to an audience’s perception that the speaker is well prepared and qualified to speak on a topic (Fraleigh & Tuman, 2011). Peterson, Stephan, and White (1992) explain that there are two kinds of credibility; the reputation that precedes you
before you give your speech (antecedent credibility) and the credibility you develop during the course of your speech (consequent credibility). In many cases, the
audience has no prior knowledge of the speaker, so they make judgments about the quality of the evidence and arguments in the speech. In addition, they look at and listen to the speaker to determine if s/he is a reliable source of information.
Informative Speakers Are Knowledgeable
Good informative speeches contain a number of different source citations throughout the speech. To show that the information you present is accurate

The topic is whether democratic leadership is always preferable. .docx
The topic is whether democratic leadership is always preferable.
There are a lot of angles you can take, but one big job is
to "unpack" the term 'democratic': what does it really mean? What
does it imply?
Here are some angles:
1. All organizations need good two-way communication to succeed. It
is difficult to envision how can this be achieved in the absence of a
democratic culture.
2. Many organizations require secrecy in order to function properly.
But secrecy seems to be in conflict with democracy, because it limits
information to some decision-makers.
3. All organizations require obedience, yet, the obligation to obey
doesn't seem to fit well in a democratic context. (Or does it?)
4. Democracy requires compromise, yet sometimes an organization
needs "uncompromising leadership" in order to thrive. (Or not?)
5. Organizations thrive on expert decision-making, yet democracy does
not seem to be compatible with this, since everyone is involved in
the decision-making. In other words, often democratic leadership
leads to mediocrity.
Help me think of more angles.

Assignment 2 Exploring the Art of Indigenous Cultures Part 1All .docx
Assignment 2: Exploring the Art of Indigenous Cultures: Part 1
All of the indigenous cultures that we have explored this week were at one time “discovered” by European explorers who often collected traditional art objects to take back with them to Europe as “curiosities.” These
objets d’art
inspired collectors and artists alike and opened the Western world up to new ideas, new cultures, and new art forms.
This is Part 1 of a two-part assignment and spans
Weeks 3 and 4
. Imagine that you are one of these intrepid European explorers who has set out to discover and collect the traditional art forms created by the four cultures we have learned about this week:
India
China
Korea
Japan
As you “travel” and collect two works from each of your four cultures, you need to document some important field notes that will help you to explain what these treasures are upon your return home. These field notes need to include for each work of art:
Name of the culture that produced the object
Title or name of the object
Date of the object
Medium/materials used to create the object
Current location
Assignment Instructions
Using the textbook and Internet sources, locate 2 traditional works of art from India, China, Japan, and Korea. Copy and paste the 8 objects into your Microsoft Word document and label each one:
Name of the culture that produced the object
Title of the work
Date of the work
Medium/materials used to create the work
Current location
Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information you found in the textbook and on the Internet.
Use your textbook to find out as much as you can about cultural context for each object. Go online and find some reference sources to provide you with more information.
Thoroughly explain and analyze:
What each object is
How you think your European friends back home will react to each object, and why
Why it is culturally important

Assignment 2 Ethical (Moral) RelativismIn America, many are comfo.docx
Assignment 2: Ethical (Moral) Relativism
In America, many are comfortable describing ethics as follows: “Well, what’s right for me is right for me and what’s right for you is right for you. Let’s just agree to disagree.” This is an affirmation of what philosophers call
individual
or
subjective moral relativism
. In this understanding of relativism, morality is a matter of individual feelings and personal preference. In individual moral relativism, the determination of what is right and wrong in a situation varies according to the individual. Moral relativists do not believe in natural law or universal truths.
Cultural moral relativism
puts culture at the forefront of relative ethical decision-making. It says the individual must include the precepts of his or her culture as a prominent part of the relativistic moral action.
Lawrence
Kohlberg,
a prominent psychologist known for recognizing moral stages of development, takes it a step farther saying cultural relativists are persons stuck in the “
Conventional
Stage” of ethical development
.
In your paper, please define individual moral relativism and cultural moral relativism in detail, noting how they differ from each other, their strengths and weaknesses, and give your position on Kohlberg’s stance on ethical relativism.
What aspects of ethical relativism do you identify and agree with? What aspects do you disagree with? Give a personal example that illustrates your stance on ethical relativism, describing how you made a moral decision in an ethical dilemma. Include at least two references to support your thoughts.

Assignment 2 Discussion—Risk Factors and Protective FactorsResear.docx
Assignment 2: Discussion—Risk Factors and Protective Factors
Research studies have determined many risk factors that can lead to the development of mental health issues and mental illness. These include, but are not limited to, exposure to violence, parental divorce, poverty, genetic predisposition, and dysfunctional parenting. At the same time, there have been children who faced many of these risk factors and overcame them. These children are referred as
resilient
, and researchers have been eager to determine how they were able to thrive under circumstances that undo other children.
Let us explore the information presented in the book
The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates
by Wes Moore (2010).You can also access the author’s interview with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the form of video, audio, or text transcript at the following Web site:
Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) (Producer). (2010).
Author Wes Moore’s book explores his own alternate reality
[Video interview]. Retrieved from
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/entertainment/jan-june10/wesmoore_05-12.html
The following is a synopsis of the book by the publisher:
Wes Moore, the author of the book
The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates
, was surprised when one day, the police approached him for a crime he did not commit. During the investigation, he came to know of another man who had the same name—Wes Moore. The shared name was not the only coincidence: they had both grown up in the same neighborhood at about the same time. Yet, one Wes Moore went on to become a Rhodes scholar, earn honors in the military, work at the White House, and become a leader in the business community; while the other Wes Moore was sentenced to life in prison. The descriptions of the lives of both Wes Moores are illustrative of the power of heredity and environment in the shaping of a person.
As boys, both Wes Moores grew up in poor, single-parent homes and did not apply themselves in primary and secondary school. The author’s father, a newscaster, died when the author was three years old. He and his two sisters were raised by his widowed mother. Before he was a teen, he became disillusioned with school and began getting into trouble in his neighborhood, even having brushes with the law for petty crimes. His mother decided to send him to military school, but he ran away five times before finally giving the school a chance. Once he decided to stay, he gained a strong sense of purpose and developed a strong work ethic.
Meanwhile, the other Wes Moore, who lived in the same area of Baltimore, was about the same age, and was also being raised by a single mother. He was arrested and convicted for first-degree murder of a police officer during a jewelry store robbery. He is serving a life prison sentence.
Important differences between the childhoods of the two boys are notable. The author had two college-educated parents. His father chose to stay with the family, but died at a relatively young age.

There are numerous theories that attempt to explain the development and manifestation of psychological disorders. Some researchers hold that certain disorders result from learned behaviors (behavioral theory), while other researchers believe that there is a genetic or biological basis to psychological disorders (medical model), while still others hold that psychological disorders stem from unresolved unconscious conflict (psychoanalytic theory). How would each of these theoretical viewpoints explain anxiety disorders? Does one explain the development and manifestation of anxiety disorders better than the others?

Assignment 2 is divided into two documents: Assignment 2 Theory (50% of the assignment grade) and Assignment 2 Hands-on (50% of the assignment grade).
Most requirements of this assignment will require you to research answers from your text book (you must read the text book to get some answers), from the Internet, or any other reasonable source. Many Internet sources, video links, text book and Blackboard presentation reference are provided to help you START your research. I have found that any single Internet source is very incomplete and the format may not conducive for most answers required. Some students do not READ the text book or review the Power Point presentation provided to you in Blackboard.
Some answers are only available from my power point presentations or update notes.
You may cut-and-paste answers whenever appropriate, you should take care to synthesize your answers to include multiple sources. I would be impressed that you consult a Google image search and paste and
appropriate
image to supplement your answer.
While I permit cut-and-paste, I do expect you use your own words so that you:
1. Organize the answer
2. Demonstrate that you have read what you have cut-and-pasted
3. Use any means that clearly displays that you have gained knowledge.
If you are LEARNING the subject matter there should be no problem. If you cut-and-paste and pray that it might answer the question you will be penalized. I hate irrelevant cut-and-paste BS.
The content of each student's assignment may NOT be copied from any other current or past student enrolled in this class. Each assignment is to be prepared by ONE student.
Assignments are NOT a group-prepared assignment. Copying and pasting assignment any portion of the requirements from another student either enrolled in the current semester and or a previous semester is an act of plagiarism according to the RMU Academic Integrity Policy.

Assignment 2 Demographic TransitionsDemographic transition is the.docx
Assignment 2: Demographic Transitions
Demographic transition is the process in which a nation transitions from being a less industrialized society, with high birth and death rates, to an industrialized nation, with lower birth and death rates. Many countries have already been through this transition including the United States, England, and Canada.
The demographic transition to an industrialized society is detrimental for the environment because industrialized societies tend to use up nonrenewable resources and give off pollution. Industrialized nations have the largest ecological and carbon footprint relative to developing or nonindustrialized countries. Fortunately, there are some benefits to the process of demographic transition, including lower birth and death rates. Essentially, people in industrialized countries have fewer children and this in turn helps control the overall population size.
Demographic transition involves the following five stages:
Stage 1
High birth rate, high death rate, low population size
Stage 2
High birth rate, decreasing death rate, increasing population size
Stage 3
Decreasing birth rate, decreasing death rate, increasing population size
Stage 4
Low birth rate, low death rate, high population size
Stage 5
Low birth rate, low death rate, population size decreasing
It should be noted that stage 5 is controversial, and it is sometimes not considered to be a stage. This is partially because so few countries are at this stage.
The following graph depicts the various stages of demographic transition:
Using the stages listed above, create a demographic and environmental timeline for one industrialized country, excluding the United States. The following are a few suggested industrialized nations:
Canada
England
Germany
Russia
Italy
You can
download
the Demographic and Environmental Timeline—United States of America to review an example of such a timeline.
Include the following points in your timeline in order to examine the advantages and drawbacks of demographic transition in your selected country:
Major historical changes that caused the shift from one stage to another (if available).
Changing population size through time (increasing or decreasing).
Increase or decrease of birth and death rates through time—particularly when considering the process of industrialization.
Environmental impact of this transition.
Dates (if available), series of events, and scholarly references for these items.
Support your timeline with appropriate examples and a minimum of three credible resources.
Present your timeline in a media that best displays the information you researched. This can be in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft PowerPoint. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc, LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.xls, or LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.ppt.

Assignment 2 Current Events and U.S. DiplomacyThis paper will be .docx
Assignment 2: Current Events and U.S. Diplomacy
This paper will be a revised and expanded version of the first research paper. Based on your instructor’s feedback, you will first revise the first paper.
Write three-to-four (3-4) new pages that address the following:
Define presidential doctrine and summarize the regional or global events during the Cold War leading up to the formation of the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1.
Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between the country you selected and the U.S. before the presidential doctrine was announced.
Describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and the country you selected in section (2) above.
Describe the effect that the presidential doctrine has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War.
Assess whether or not the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1 doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced.
Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
To help you understand this assignment further, the following description and examples may be useful.
Step 1:
Define doctrine and identify why a president would want to announce one.
A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses to advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreign policy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on this theme.
Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrine you wrote about then. Say, for example, you selected the Truman Doctrine. Therefore, this is the only thing you will write about in Assignment 2 step 1.
Step 2:
Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S.
Before the presidential doctrine was announced. In the case of Truman, you would pick either the Soviet Union, Greece, or Iran, since all three were affected by his doctrine. If you are writing about the Eisenhower Doctrine, you would choose Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about the Kennedy Doctrine, you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wrote about the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam, Saudi Arabia or Iran; if you chose Carter, you would select either Iran or Afghanistan; and if you wrote about the Reagan Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russia or Afghanistan (although there were several others).
Step 3:
Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you chose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War.
That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo regionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.? What happened in Western Europe after the Truman.
Assignment 2 CybersecurityWe use computers and electronic systems.docx
Assignment 2: Cybersecurity
We use computers and electronic systems to run and store just about everything. Personal computers and the Internet are now included as part of the Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity issues.
Cybersecurity involves protecting the information by preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks on information that is housed in technology.
There are many levels of risks in cybersecurity, some more serious and damaging than others. Among these dangers are:
Viruses erasing the entire system.
Individuals breaking into personal computer systems and altering the systems' files.
Individuals using personal computers to attack others' computer systems.
Individuals stealing credit card information and making unauthorized purchases.
Unfortunately, there is no 100% guarantee that even with the best precautions some of these things won't happen. Risk reduction steps exist to minimize vulnerability to information.
Tasks:
Create a PowerPoint Presentation containing 6–8 slides to address the following:
Analyze and discuss the vulnerabilities and recommend what security management can do to minimize the potential of a government or private organization being at risk for cybersecurity damage.
Outline the steps you recommend and identify any impediments to successfully implementing the suggested cybersecurity program.
Support your presentation with at least three outside scholarly resources using APA in-text citations. Add detailed speaker notes for each of the slides.

Assignment 2 Controversy Surrounding the Patriot ActThe USA Patri.docx
Assignment 2: Controversy Surrounding the Patriot Act
The USA Patriot Act was created to protect the United States against terrorism. The USA Patriot Act is an extensive piece of legislation that includes amendments to many other laws. The act has proved to be controversial because of the way it was introduced after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. Since Congress at that time was extremely receptive to increasing law enforcement capabilities to fight terrorism, it passed the Patriot Act with virtually no debate.
One of the controversial sections of the act extends the capabilities of law enforcement to searching and wiretapping and includes provisions for gag orders. While conducting a search, the law enforcement officials are provided the authority to curtail certain rights of the subject of the search.
Also, the law enforcement authorities may not disclose any information to the media or other authorities while conducting the search. The investment of such powers to law enforcement authorities has been praised by some and criticized by others.
For more information on the USA Patriot Act review the website

Write a paper comprising 3–5 pages, keeping in mind the following points:

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Assignment 2 LASA 1 Course Project Task IArgument Paper Se.docx
- 1. Assignment 2: LASA 1: Course Project Task I Argument Paper Section 1 Your local town is addressing the following issues in its law- making: Should people under 18 be subjected to legal curfews or restricted driving privileges? Should libraries be required to install filtering software or otherwise censor the materials that they provide? Should insurance companies in your state be required to pay for breast reconstruction, birth control pills, or Viagra? Should the use of camera phones be banned in local gymnasiums or other locations? As an active citizen, you ask to research and present to the town's citizens one of the above issues. The governing body has agreed and asks that your presentation be specifically designed to show citizens of the community how and why one of the issues above is controversial and how to be educated consumers of information regarding this issue. They ask this because the citizens will be voting on these issues in future elections and the governing body wants its citizens to be properly educated on these topics. In your presentation, make sure you include the following:
- 2. Remember, you are giving a presentation to an audience that does not know much, if anything, about your topic. Explain the issue, including definitions of common terms involved in the issue and why this issue is controversial. Identify and describe three to four different conclusions that are drawn when arguments related to the issue are made. Summarize the kinds of evidence typically used for each constructed argument related to the issue. Be sure to discuss the reasons these kinds of evidence are used and/or are most effective. Analyze how each of the different conclusions regarding the topic use particular evidence to support their claims, paying particular attention to analyzing how the conclusions rely on different facts, different sources of evidence, or different reasoning from other conclusions. In other words, explain why certain groups would use a particular type of evidence while an opposing group would use a different type of evidence, or how two groups can represent that same data in two completely different ways. Utilize at least three different sources and properly cite them throughout the presentation. The presentation should be 8 to 10 slides long, and each slide should have complete, formally written slide notes (proper grammar, APA formatting, and academic tone) for record- keeping purposes and in the event there are citizens who are deaf or hard-of-hearing at your presentation. The slide notes must include proper APA citation of sources, proper paragraphing, and proper grammar and tone. Visually, the slides
- 3. should be easy to read. A properly APA-formatted reference page must be the last slide of your presentation. See the rubric for more specific requirements of the presentation. Submit your assignment to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
