M12 power point understanding the working outlineestarr50
This document provides guidance on creating an effective working outline for an argumentative essay. It explains that outlines are useful for longer compositions that use sources and develop a logical argument. The key parts of a working outline are then defined, including the title, thesis statement, introductory rationale, main supporting claims, evidence, counterarguments, and concluding rationale. For each section, advice is given on how to develop that part of the outline. Students are reminded that the outline is a roadmap for their writing but may require some flexibility.
An effective thesis statement should:
1) Make an argument about a debatable topic without asking a question.
2) Be specific about the topic and position rather than vague.
3) Anticipate and address counterarguments, such as using qualifying words like "although."
4) Avoid first-person language and state the position as a fact to be proven.
5) Be willing to change and shift as research and drafting progresses.
This document provides information on an entire PHI 445 course including 3 sets of papers, quizzes, discussions and assignments.

SOC120: Introduction to Ethics & Social Responsibility- Ashford University
Week 2
Discussion 1-The Three Ethical Perspectives- (Due 10/23/14)
Define and contrast the three ethical perspectives. How do the perspectives differ from the ethical theories? What does each ethical perspective tell us about morality and virtue?
Think of an issue that has occurred in your community during the past year. This may be a public issue that has generated interest in the press, or it may be something that has come up in your child’s school, in your church, in a social club you belong to, or in your neighborhood. Describe the issue, and then analyze the issue from the viewpoint of one of the ethical perspectives. Apply the perspective to the issue in the same way that the author applies the theories and perspectives to the issues in the text.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references.
Discussion 2-Constructing Arguments- (Due 10/23/14)
Identify the basic themes, topics, and concepts that make up the discipline of ethics. What are the themes or ideas that unite the different ethical theories? What is it that ethics aims to explain?
Describe how you might apply an ethical theme to one of the following social issues:
· Limiting smoking in public places, such as public buildings, restaurants, or city parks
· Municipal governments using public funds to build stadiums for professional sports teams
· Requiring a private landowner to provide habitat for endangered species on their properties
What is your goal when you apply an ethical theme to a specific real-world issue? Distinguish how applying an ethical theme to an issue would differ from applying one of the following perspectives: economics, politics, or religion. What themes might represent the alternative perspective to the issue?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references.

Reflect:
When considering a research topic, consider an interesting topic that is worth further research. For instance, having a strong opinion on a specific topic may deter you from thinking more critically, and therefore the research might end up being one-sided. It is a good idea to pick a topic in which you can provide a good argument for both sides of the societal issue.
Write:

Final Draft: 4-6 pages typed, double-spaced and due on Monday of Week 8. Please also include a Works Cited Page with this assignment (the works cited page does not count as part of the 4-6 page requirement).
Please keep in mind that essays submitted after the Monday of Week 8 due date will be marked down 10% for lateness, and no late assignments will be accepted after Thursday of Week 8. As this is the last assignment, the drop box is open only until Thursday of Week 8.
ASSIGNMENT:
For your final research paper, you will synthesize your analysis of primary sources with support from secondary sources. You’ve already done this with your synthesis analysis essay, but this time, you will be doing original research. You are required to use Octavia Butler’s Fledgling as one of your primary sources; the rest of the primary sources can be any science fiction novel, short story, movie, or TV show.
Your first step is to find an interesting underlying social message about values, behaviors, and/or relationships in Butler’s novel. For the previous essays, you were assigned a social message (what it means to be human and gender), but this time, you will need to identify one in the novel. There are many options, but here are some suggestions: individual and community, heroism, identity, power, family, gender, or race (please do not feel you are limited to these).
Next, research additional primary sources that also have your chosen underlying social message. Please do not use any of the primary sources that you have already used for an essay for this class--that means that you cannot use The Left Hand of Darkness. You are welcome to use any of the stories in the Wesleyan Anthology as long as you have not previously used it for an essay. You can also choose from any science fiction movies and/or TV shows if you’d like. The number of additional primary sources is up to you, but I’d say that 2-4 total primary sources is a manageable amount.
Then, research 3-5 secondary sources (at least one academic) that will help support your analysis of the underlying social message. For example, if your underlying social message is about community, then you might research psychology papers on the positive effects of community. Please note that you cannot use any of the readings that I have assigned for this class as secondary sources—your sources must come from your own research.
Finally, write an essay that synthesizes your primary and secondary sources in order to support your analysis of underlying social messages of behaviors, values, and/or relationships in Butler’s novel and your other chosen science fiction primary sources.

the role of a researcher for a social advocacy group that focuses on issues related to gender. You will assume that your manager has tasked you with writing a
position paper that clearly articulates the group’s stance on a given gender-related issue in an attempt to justify the ultimate goal of the social advocacy group.
You will select an issue from the options provided or submit your own issue for instructor approval. You will then analyze the issue through the incorporation of
evidence and the application of sociological theory.
You are encouraged to choose your own topic to address in the position paper and will be guided through this process in the early modules of the course. Some
gender-related issues to you might consider focusing on in this project include the following:
• Fraternity hazing
• Equal pay for women

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

SOC 120 Week 2 Assignment Applying Theory
Environmental Issues (2 PPT)
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
This Tutorial contains 2 Presentations
Your goal for this assignment is to apply an ethical theory to a real-
world situation. You will examine an environmental issue and apply
one of the ethical theories to it to understand how human interactions
with the natural environment raise ethical concerns. You will do this
5. by preparing and posting a PowerPoint slideshow consisting of 12
slides with a separate section under each slide for notes.
Choose one of the following topics or issues, and read about it
at the indicated place:
o Environmental justice and environmental racism
(Read Environmental Justice for All)
o Environmental harm, like the pollution of air and water
(Read Chapter 8 in the textbook)
o Waste reduction (Read Chapter 8 in the textbook)
Select one philosophical theory (i.e., utilitarianism, deontology,
or virtue ethics). Consider the following questions pertaining to
the theory you have selected:
What does the theory tell us about how things operate in the real
world?
What is the focus of the theory? That is, what aspects of
everyday life (or what questions) does the theory address?
How does the theory simplify complex issues to make them more
understandable? Another way to think about this is to consider
the concepts that make up the theory. Identify the concepts and
how they are related to each other.
The focus helps you think about the topical boundaries of the
theory. This course is about ethics and social responsibility, so
you should concentrate on the ethical and moral aspects of both
the theory and topic you are analyzing. It may help to think in
terms of different realms or institutions. Does the theory help
explain people’s behavior from a political, economic, religious,
or ethical perspective? Try to sort through everything that does
not represent an ethical question, and address only the ethical
issues.
Develop one thesis question that applies your philosophical
theory to your environmental issue. You will address this
question by developing an argument that links the theory to the
issue (through your notes and pictures), so make sure you word
your question carefully to accomplish this task. Indicate this
thesis question on your second slide (the one after the title
slide).
6. To add notes to your slide, go the section at the bottom of each
slide in PowerPoint and click on the option that says “Click to
add notes.” Type your notes into that section.
Make sure your presentation focuses on ethical arguments and
avoids personal opinion, arguments based on politics,
economics, religion, or topics other than ethics.
Next, develop an ethical argument that addresses your question.
Use the text and/or other academic sources to support your
position. Build your argument by writing nine clear sentences.
Each sentence should make one important point about the
ethical aspects of the environmental issue you are analyzing and
should be placed on one slide each.
Underneath each slide, you will also add presentation notes.
This is written information that you would normally say or share
with an audience during a presentation, but they do not show up
in the presentation. Your notes should also make use of at least
two academic sources and elaborate on the image and sentence
in each slide.
Next, find a photo or image to illustrate each slide, and post it
on the slide above the sentence. Search the Internet for photos
or images that are appropriate. Make sure the photos or images
you use are not copyright protected; you should only use photos
or images that are in the public domain. Also, make sure you
cite the sources from which you retrieved your photos or images
directly underneath the photo on each slide.
The final PowerPoint slideshow should consist of 12 slides. There
should be one slide for the title page, one slide for your thesis
question, nine slides for your arguments (i.e., main sentences) and
notes, and one slide for your references. You should use at least two
academic sources in addition to the textbook as references. So you
will use a total of at least three academic sources. All citations and
references must be in the APA format as outlined in the Ashford
Writing Center.
This assignment must be submitted as a PowerPoint presentation.
Other formats (e.g., PDF files, Word documents, etc.) are not
acceptable. If you are unfamiliar with how to use PowerPoint,
7. see Basic tasks in PowerPoint 2010. You may also use the sample
PowerPoint assignment to guide you in preparing your assignment,
but you may not use the slides from that sample in your own work.
The work you submit must be completely original. Please also make
sure that you refer to the grading rubric for this assignment to ensure
that your final work meets all of the submission criteria for the final
PowerPoint slideshow.

15. SOC 120 Week 3 DQ 1 Ageism
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
The purpose of this discussion is to give you the opportunity to apply
ethical theories to the complex issue of ageism in the workplace,
particularly in the area of employment. In the modern workplace,
there appear to be the following three key issues that exhibit ageism
in employment, some of which have been exacerbated by recent
economic issues and an aging population:
Older job seekers fight ageism as a barrier to re-employment
Younger job seekers have trouble obtaining career entry
Evidence in many countries highlights that older worker
employment and youth employment are not connected in any
way
This last point is generally known in economics as the lump of labor
fallacy, which challenges the view that if older workers are employed
in a tight labor market, then they must be occupying the jobs of the
country’s youth. Prepare and post a response to the following
prompt:
Using at least one ethical perspective or theory from the text and one
item of scholarly evidence, present an argument to a group of
younger workers (regarding older worker and youth employment) in
which you refute the notion that older workers take employment from
the young.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your
claims with examples from the required resources and/or other
scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style

SOC 120 Week 3 DQ 2 Regulating Off-Duty
Conduct
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
The purpose of this discussion is to give you the opportunity to apply
ethical theories and perspectives to modern issues of the workplace.
Off-duty conduct away from the workplace can be monitored and
reported in many ways. These ways have only grown due to the
increase in social media use, which provides employers far greater
opportunities to become aware of what employees do outside of the
workplace. Some types of behaviors are especially concerning, as
they may have on-duty consequences. Other types of off-duty
behavior, however, are more difficult to clearly define as grossly
inappropriate and warranting employer intervention. But who draws
this line, and what are the ethical implications of where the line is
drawn? Prepare and post a response to the following prompt:
Using the resources provided, your own research, and your
knowledge of the ethical concepts from the text, consider the issue of
off-site monitoring of conduct:
Considering your own work experience, imagine a circumstance
in which your supervisor monitored your behavior off the job.
Describe the circumstances, including how and why your
conduct was monitored.
Would you consider your example to involve a minor, moderate,
or severe invasion of an individual’s privacy? Explain your
17. reasoning. Share your unemotional, well-defined, evidence-
based response to your boss to support your viewpoint.
What issues do you believe led to your employer monitoring
you? Use one ethical theory or perspective to help support your
employer’s viewpoint, and use a scholarly source as your
evidence.
What about your viewpoint as the employee? Use one ethical
theory or perspective to support an employee’s right to privacy
outside of work, and use a scholarly source as your evidence.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your
claims with examples from the required resources and/or other
scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style

SOC 120 Week 4 DQ 1 Equal Access To
Healthcare
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
This discussion presents the opportunity for you to address the
inequality of access to health care in the United States using moral
and ethical reasoning. There is overwhelming evidence that social
inequalities affect health outcomes. Many argue that lack of health
care access due to poverty is a human rights concern in the United
States that should be subject to public and social justice inquiry. As
such, the Affordable Care Act was implemented to promote health
equity. While there are some that have reported favorable outcomes
with respect to health care access, others have reported unfavorable
experiences.
18. What is your perspective on the ethics of providing universal health
care to all U.S. citizens, and how well do you think the Affordable
Care Act has addressed this cause? Prepare an academically-
informed post to address this question. In doing so, consider both the
ethical and moral reasons for supporting the implementation of the
Affordable Care Act and also a possible shortfall or problem with this
policy. You may talk about your own experiences but must also use
academic research to support your arguments.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your
claims with examples from the required resources and/or other
scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style

SOC 120 Week 4 DQ 2 Food Justice/Food
Deserts
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
The purpose of this discussion is to offer you the opportunity to
debate the issue of food justice and food deserts. Food deserts are
significant issues in poorer neighborhoods in the United States. In
many of these neighborhoods, the only access to food is through local
convenience stores or fast food restaurants. This severely limits the
options for the poor to have access to fresh, wholesome food and has
been evidenced as a key reason for the obesity epidemic in the United
States. This issue is encompassed in the overarching topic of food
justice, which also highlights public access to genetically modified or
organic foods and the issues of equal access to positive food options
19. in light of public health and social inequality. Prepare and post a
response to the following prompt:
Read the Hilmers article, Neighborhood Disparities in Access to
Healthy Foods and Their Effects on Environmental Justice. Assume
that your town is a food desert and you would like to do something
about it. Prepare an argument to present to your local town council
that outlines an idea to offer healthy food options to your town. Use at
least one ethical theory or perspective to support the moral or ethical
reasoning for why this program should be implemented.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your
claims with examples from the required resources and/or other
scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style
