Essay #2: Source Integration Paper Rhetorical Situation: You are a member of an academic community and you want to publish an article in a prestigious newspaper to discuss a specific and compelling issue your academic group faces. You have spoken to the chief editor of the newspaper, and he has asked you to further educate him and his team on what exactly is the issue, and what is the current state of research and discussion on the issue? Assignment Overview Your task is to write a well-developed essay to uncover the issue that exists in your chosen academic community. Use minimum five sources to support your claim. At least three of these sources should be academic, peer-reviewed sources from the University databases. The other two can be credible web sources. Don’t just create an imaginary issue. Do your research and try to understand the actual problem being faced by an academic group of your interest. Once you understand the issue, your task is to explain that issue to your audience. Try to avoid an argumentative tone. Be more informative. Use your sources to educate your audience about what research shows to be the current state of the issue. Put the five sources into conversation. In putting the sources into conversation with each other, the paper might explore five types of relationships: 1. Agreement/Similarity (do most of your sources agree on what is being said about the issue? If so, what is the factor that most sources agree upon? 2. Disagreement/Contrast (Is there any discrepancy of thoughts? If so, what is it that the sources disagree about?) 3. Corroboration (a source provides evidence that supports the argument of another source) 4. Contradiction (a source provides evidence that undermines the argument of another source) 5. Cause/Effect (a source explores the causes or effects of something that is observed or identified in another source) Understanding and locating these relationships in your sources will help you develop your paper. In simple words recognizing and showing these relationships in your paper is what the assignment is asking for. Assignment Outcomes  Identify and effectively describe a specific and compelling issue for a particular academic community.  Identify academic and non-academic sources and reference them appropriately. You are required to use three peer-reviewed, academic sources and two credible and reputable web sources.  Effectively summarize, paraphrase, and quote material from academic and non-academic source material using APA guidelines  Accurately identify and analyze relationships between sources  Organize an effective review of the literature on a specific issue  Compile a proper references page using APA guidelines. Your paper should have title page; but, the essay summary page is not required. What is an academic community? Academic means, related to education. An ac ...

Text Analysis – Current Educational Philosophy Issue Your Text analysis assignment is an analysis of a current philosophy of education issue. The selected text must have been constructed within the past year. The assignment requires that you make links between your chosen text, concepts, videos, and readings from the course. The purpose of the exercise is to help you to critically examine the way how text inscribe meanings that influence how we conduct education in this country. You may do this paper with a partner. GUIDELINES All papers must be typed and should be between 3 to 5 pages long. Use the handout on Text Analysis while working to make sure all criteria are met. If you work with a partner, only one paper is required. The grade the paper achieves will be assigned to both students. The format for the paper should be analytic, interpretive, and normative – do not mix up the order of the three perspectives. These perspectives must be clearly delineated in your paper in order to ensure full credit. It is essential that you remember that this is an analysis and not a report. As such, your goal is to analyze the text not “re-describe” it. Remember! This is not a book report or a “text” description. Restrict your analysis to a few themes of the text (preferably the main theme), focus on how the argument was constructed and how the text informs education in contemporary society. Utilize course concepts, videos, written texts, quotes, paraphrases, readings, discussion, etc. to help ground your ideas. Failure to do so will result in a weak, one-sided paper. If you work with a partner, note where you disagree (on what and why). Not everyone shares the same position. Refer to the "Worksheet on Reading Texts" handout below for explicit questions to guide you in the text analysis. Worksheet For Reading Text To really “read” a text, as opposed to just decoding it, requires the reader to construct meaning from the text. To help you in this process, you should attempt to answer at least the following questions for each text? ANALYTIC READING 1. What is the major argument (conclusions) presented in the text? a. What is the author/speaker trying to convince you? 2. What is the evidence presented to support that claim (Premise)? 3. Is the argument implicit or explicit? 4. Is it an empirical (facts, statistics, etc.), analytical (concepts and definitions) or normative (making a moral claim) argument? 5. What type of reasoning does the author employ (inductive or deductive)? 6. How is the argument presented, i.e. what rhetorical devices are used to make the argument (narrative, metaphors, visual imagery, imagery, ideographs, euphemisms, rhetorical questions, labels, etc.)? 7. Are you able to detect any fallacies in the argument? INTERPRETIVE READING 1. When was the text made? 2. What was going on around that time that might have influenced the writing of this text or the way audiences interpreted it? 3. What might those who r ...

Module 7 Discussion Board Algebra 1. What does it mean when something grows or decays exponentially? How is that different then rising or falling linearly? 2. Give an example of a real life application of exponential growth or decay. Include the link to a website to show this. Please answer as two different posts. You need three posts for full credit. When you reply to others in the class, your replies should contain original thought and/or a follow up question. 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 ...

What is an Exploratory Paper? Exploratory Argument: In exploratory essays, the writer (you) explores three sources that take a position on a controversial issue. All three sources can take the same side of the issue or two can take the same side and one can be on the other side of the issue. For example, take this issue: “Should there be stricter copyright penalties on the Internet? For instance, all three sources explored may argue that once a person uploads a photograph on, for example, flickr.com, it becomes public domain and no copyright laws should apply. The sources explored will argue on the same side of the issue, they all answer the issue question: yes. Yet, they will present evidence that will align with their different perspectives. For example, one source may take a legal perspective and the evidence will come from legal sources; another source may take a psychological perspective and their evidence to support their position will come from psychological studies, etc. In addition, the sources must come from a variety of secondary sources: scholarly journals, magazines, and/or newspapers, and the sources cannot be all Websites. The Purpose In the exploratory paper, the writer identifies three sources that take the same side of the issue; this means, for each source, their thesis statements/claims are the same. In order to help the reader (students, instructor) understand each source’s argument, the writer, (you) will include a brief 2-3 sentence summary for each source that includes the writer’s thesis/claim and the reasons provided to support his or her perspective. Also, this will include an analysis of how well the reasons and evidence support their position and their perspective. This requires specific references from the work in the form of direct quotations. This last part is important. Your own opinions are not expressed at all. This is not an argument paper. Advantages to Writing an Exploratory Paper Exploratory papers have a number of advantages. When you view an issue from many perspectives, you gain a greater depth of understanding of it and the various views taken. Also, exploratory papers provide mutual understanding and common ground for you next stage in argument: writing your own argument paper. These sources can be used to support your side to an issue or they may be used as an opposing view to your own position. After exploring sources on an issue, you learn about the other positions on this controversial issue. How to Write the Exploratory Paper The exploratory framework appears on eCompanion in the folder marked: “Exploratory Paper Assignment.” This handout basically lays out the format for each body paragraph. Also, there is a student sample essay that explores the issue: Should biotechnology be banned in U.S. sports? All three sources in this paper take the same side of this issue and argue that biotechnology basically destroys honest competition, but they approach and support thei.

Read the scenario and then respond to the checklist items in a minimum of a 1–2 essay using APA format and citation style (include an additional title and reference page). Scenario: Sam Trudeau owned a busy veterinary hospital. Two receptionists “manned” the front desk at all times. Their responsibilities were to answer phones, make appointments, collect payments on services rendered, and various other duties. Almost all payments into the hospital were in the form of cash, checks, and charge cards. A receptionist called in sick, and Sam could not find any other employee who could work her shift, so Sam decided to cover the shift himself. On the day he covered the sick receptionist’s shift, the phones seemed to be ringing non-stop, clients were backed up, and everything was chaotic. Mr. Ordine, a regular client, and his dog had just been seen by the veterinarian, and Mr. Ordine wanted to pay his bill in cash. Sam knew Mr. Ordine’s dog received just one vaccine, and the price was $25.00, but no paperwork was done yet, so Sam took Mr. Ordine’s cash and said he would mail him the receipt when one was generated. At the end of the day, the veterinarian still had not completed the paperwork, and Mr. Ordine’s file was in the stack to be re-filed. Apparently the veterinarian had forgotten to generate the paperwork, so there was $25.00 in the cash drawer that had no paper trail. Sam needed to run by the grocery store on his way home and was short cash, so he took the $25.00 out of the drawer, meaning to pay it back. The next day, no one had noticed the $25.00 was missing, and Mr. Ordine’s file was re-filed. Sam considered the plusses and minuses of putting the $25.00 back in the drawer, and creating the paperwork for the service rendered. Mr. Ordine was expecting a receipt to be mailed to him, but Sam knew he could easily generate a receipt without it going into the computer system, thus allowing him to just keep the $25.00. After all, it was not that much money and if he did the proper paperwork, he would just have to pay taxes on it anyway. Respond to the checklist items below in a minimum of a 1–2 page response using APA format and citation style (include an additional title and reference page). 1) Explain the ethical considerations from the Consequentialist (choose one: ethical egoism, act utilitarianism, or rule utilitarianism) and Non-consequentialist (choose one: Divine command, or Categorical imperative) or one of the Virtue ethics viewpoints. You should therefore present a total of two viewpoints concerning the scenario above. 2) Explain the strength of one of your viewpoints chosen for #1 and the corresponding weakness with regards to this scenario and the decision made by Sam Trudeau. 3) Describe what you think the effect will be on the other personnel at the hospital upon an auditor discovering this situation. 4) Discuss how Sam Trudeau should approach the situation using your chosen ethical perspective and explain why and ho.

Scenario In Part I of the assignment, Chuck House and Ben Holmes created a business they called House & Holmes Facilities Management. At the time, Chuck and Ben were the only employees. By the end of the second year, House & Holmes hired two additional full-time employees and paid a few temporary laborers as needed for certain maintenance jobs. Chuck and one of the temporary laborers, Steve, were carrying an old cast iron bathtub through a customer’s house when the homeowner’s dog ran under Steve’s feet, causing him to lose his balance and drop his end of the tub. Unable to control the tub, Steve dropped his end of the tub causing it to knock over a flat screen television that shattered on the floor. The tub left scratches in the wood floors. Steve tore his rotator cuff in the fall and was unable to work for two months. Ryan, the customer, was upset about his television. House & Holmes owns three trucks and one van, each registered to the business. The vehicles advertise the company’s name, phone number and website. Jason, one of the full-time employees, drives one of the trucks home at night when he is on call for emergency repairs. One night Jason stopped off at Hillside Tavern to have a couple of beers before going home. On the way home, Jason swerved to avoid hitting a deer and hit a car driven by Charmaine Wilson. Charmaine’s car sustained $4,500 in damages and she missed three days of work recovering from her injuries. Regions Bank loaned $20,000 to House & Holmes. Chuck, Ben and their friend Phil agreed to be co-sureties for the loan. The handyman business defaulted on the loan and Regions Bank plans to sue Phil for payment of the loan. House & Holmes agreed to install a new air conditioning unit and an outdoor kitchen in a luxury home on the beach. The parties agreed to a price of $9,500 for the purchase and installation of the air conditioning unit and outdoor kitchen. Chuck agreed to let the homeowner pay for the work in installments of $2000 a month. Two months later, the homeowner filed for bankruptcy. Chuck demanded payment of the remaining amount due or threatened to repos.

Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled. Scenario John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital. The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours." Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time. In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions. Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smith told John to recommend that the operational systems were good enough and that the hospital should build a new wing for additional ER exam rooms and hire more physicians. Interrupting Dr. Smith, John said, "The hospital has a very limited capital budget and no funds have been allocated for build.

Read the following and then answer the questions at the bottom The IT staff at Texas Health Resources Inc. must deliver more than technical functionality. And it needs to deliver more than the business requirements; it also has to meet the organization’s ethical standards. To that end, its systems must help ensure that Texas Health complies with laws and regulations. And they also have to promote the right behaviors and prevent or flag undesirable ones, says Micheal Alverson, vice president and deputy chief information officer at the Arlington-based nonprofit health care system. Consider the challenge of handling patients’ medical records. Even though the federal Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act mandates that agencies keep those records private, caregivers still need to access them—when appropriate. So the organization’s electronic health records system “gives doctors and nurses who are caring directly for patients quick access when they use the right authentication,” Alverson says. But additional authentication is required to get records for patients who aren’t under the provider’s immediate care. The system records who gets access to what, allowing officials to audit and review cases to ensure there’s no inappropriate access. “the IT staff holds itself to similar ethical standards, too,” Alverson says. The department has policies that prohibit taking gifts and endorsing vendors, to help guarantee that workers make procurement decisions only based on quality and needs. And when there’s any question—such as when a vendor proposes a deep discount if Texas Health agrees to be an early adopter of a new technology—IT leaders can turn to the system wide Business and Ethics Council for guidance. “If we really want everyone to subscribe to the idea that working at Texas Health is special, then we have to have people actively believe in doing the right thing,” Alverson says. Companies are increasingly looking at their ethics policies and articulating specific values that address a range of issues, from community commitment to environmental sustainability, which employees can use to guide their work. The need to comply with federal laws and regulations drives some of this, while consumer expectations, employee demands, and economic pressures also play a part. Information technology consultant Dena L. Smith lays out a hypothetical dilemma: should an IT department hire a more expensive vendor because the vendor shares its own company’s ethics standards, or should it go with a lower cost provider that doesn’t? Companies with established ethical standards that guide how they conduct business frequently confront this kind of question, Smith says, but it’s a particularly tough question today, given the recession,. With IT departments forced to cut budgets and staff, chief information officers will find it difficult to allocate dollars for applications that promote corporate ethics. “The decisions are easier in the days when the e.

Read the complete description of the Oral History Interview Final Paper due in this class. Here in Week Four, you must submit a draft of this paper. The draft should include an introduction, thesis, the information you provided in the Interview Description you submitted in Week Two, and be at least three to five pages in length (plus a title page and a reference page) at this time. The draft must utilize the course text and at least three scholarly sources, at least one of which you obtained from preliminary research in the Ashford University Library. The draft must be in paragraph form, properly formatted in APA style, and include an updated reference list of sources you intend to use in the final paper. Final Paper: Oral History Interview Paper Throughout the course, you will be exploring various aspects of culture and intercultural communications. Your final assignment in this course will be to conduct an extensive oral history interview with a person who is somewhat older than you and from a culture or subgroup that you are not a member of. This person can be a relative or acquaintance who is from a different generation. It can be someone who immigrated to this country either recently or some time ago. Or, it can be someone who belongs to a different subgroup from you and whose cultural experiences you believe would be very different from your own. Obtain permission from the person you are interviewing to record the conversation (either an audio or a video and audio recording) or to take handwritten notes during the interview. Your overarching goals during the oral history interview are as follows: To learn more about the culture and subcultures to which your interview subject belongs. To determine what issues they encountered in terms of intercultural communications. To relate concepts you have studied in this course to the experiences of this person. After you have conducted the interview, review your recording or your notes and write a six- to eight-page paper (excluding a title page and a reference page), in which you discuss aspects of this person's culture and/or subcultures and communication issues related to his or her cultural identity. In the paper, you must also include the following: The name of the person and his or her relationship to you. The interview subject's cultural background and the culture and/or subcultures to which he or she belongs. At least six questions from the following list. You may add additional questions or other questions not on this list, if you wish. Remember, though, that the focus of your paper must be on intercultural communication issues. How far back in time can the person remember? What is his or her first childhood memory? (Consider how it reflects the interview subject's culture or subculture?) What does the person remember of the experience of being an immigrant or a subgroup member in that time? Which impressions or experiences from that time are most vivid to him or her today? If he or sh.

Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide a citation for your answers. CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services of.
