Instructions
Goal: A deeper understanding of the chosen topic.
Course Objective(s):
CO1: Identify historical beginnings of philosophy and contemporary positions concerning the nature of knowledge and reality
CO3: Distinguish the basic concepts of moral and political philosophy
CO4: Evaluate arguments for and against the existence of God
CO5: Evaluate various approaches to the mind-body problem
Task:
While some assignments can be a bit more creative, learning how to improve your skills with written communication is also a good thing. Toward that end, the goal here is to write a paper of between 500-750 words on one of the three options below:
Use one or more moral theories from weeks 6 and 7 to justify what you believe is the right thing to do concerning some contemporary situation.
Define and describe the theories you use.
Describe the contemporary moral situation and why it is a moral situation.
Describe how the theory provides the reasoning/justification to demonstrate your proposed solution is the best one.
You have encountered various theories of knowledge and theories of being in this course, beginning with Plato/Socrates (as well as pre-Socratics like Parmenides), Descartes and the rationalists, empiricism, and Kantian constructivism. The phenomenological method as described in Week 7 can also give us tools for a theory of knowledge. Use one or more theories from epistemology and/or metaphysics to discuss what kinds of things you can know and how you can claim to know what you know.
Define and describe the theory or theories that you use to make your claim.
Say something about the range of possible knowledge that you can legitimately claim as knowledge. That is, does it include only knowledge of what can be sensed and whatever is physical? Or can we know abstract objects like universals? Can we have knowledge of more spiritual or esoteric realities, like the soul, God, religious doctrines, etc.?
Explain the reasons that support your viewpoint by providing arguments that are in dialogue with relevant thinkers discussed in our course.
Use one or more theories from weeks 3-5 and 8 to demonstrate humans have a purpose.
Define and describe the theory or theories you use to make your claim.
Keep in mind that the goal is to argue humans have a purpose. If you do not think we have one, consider another option.
Be sure your argument includes like-minded philosophers on the type of purpose you claim humans have.
Your paper will be written at a college level with an introduction (one that states an argumentative/interpretive thesis and that indicates what would be covered and in what order), body paragraphs, a conclusion, along with in-text citations/Works Cited page in MLA, Turabian, Chicago, or APA formatting. Remember—any resource that is listed on the Works Cited page must have an in-text citation in the paper to match or this is considered plagiarism. [Note, MLA style is preferred, but depending on your degree area, you may be more familiar with APA or one of the other styles. You can use any approved style, just be consistent.]
You may only submit files compatible with the Turnitin system. Please do not try to submit a PDF. Please do use MS Word.
Resources:
Word is free to students – if you encounter an issue please write for guidance
Tutor.com – information available in the syllabus
APUS Library
Citation and Reference Style: You will follow the citation style that is common to your discipline/program (APA, Turabian, Chicago, or MLA). If you do not have a citation style, please use MLA style. OWL Purdue is a great resource for the formatting of citations and resources.

Title: “Optimizing Recruiting Resources: A Data-Driven Approach”
This assignment will bring together the information from the previous three assignments to create a presentation to your senior management team. Integrating the HR data elements, using the communication plan, and following the process map will create a presentation that will validate your recommendations concerning the recruiting resources for the organization.
Using previously established data analysis, communication plans, and the project process map, create a presentation to the senior leadership team that will make a case for increasing, decreasing, or keeping stable the recruiting resources of the organization.
Your presentation will need to include the current situation, provide the supporting data in numbers as well as graphs, and make your recommendation again supported by data and graphs. Costs are important and must be supported by your data and graphs. Remember, you are selling these recommendations to the leadership team.
The presentation must include:
The problem to be solved, why the problem exists, and the impact on the organization
The data that supports the problem. Typically this shows current historical (year over year, quarter over quarter) data
Predictive data to show the future
Recommendations and solutions supported by data and graphs
PowerPoint is the medium typically used to present this type of information and is the required format for this assignment. The presentation should consist of 10 to 12 slides with a minimum of six data graphics.

Objective reality refers to the actual
Our text suggests that objective reality is often significantly different from our perceived reality and is an important variable to consider when making decisions within an organization. In addition, attribution theory describes how people create the explanations for their own and others’ actions, as well as for the outcomes of applied behaviors. Based on these two premises, formulate an analysis about how the development of our realities explain human behaviors within organizations and industry that can essentially affect rational decision making.

“Interpreting ANOVA Test Results: Exploring the Relationship between Social Class and TV Hours”
Please look at the example and do it in the right way and send it Microsoft word.
Prompt. I have completed a number of ANOVA tests using the following variables from the GSS – a national random sample done by a reputable research entity. Note: This is the 2012 data, not the same as what we’re using for the DAP! (For more info on the GSS, visit their website: gss.norc.orgLinks to an external site.
https://gss.norc.org/.
Each of the discussions in this area has one main nominal (or ordinal) variable – and the output from a number of tests with different variables. Choose only one of these nominal/ordinal variables: Class, Degree, Happiness, Life. Download and Open this file and find the tests with the nominal/ordinal variable you chose. Please check the uploaded file.
Then Choose ONE of the tests to discuss , so choose one ANOVA test to interpret (your first post) and then discuss (with at least two other posts) those and other findings within that same discussion. In the file, there are two sets of output. The first box of output has the general statistics – the mean, N, and standard deviation. The second box has the test results…
Figure or find the df’s (df between and df within) and, using an alpha of 0.05, find the critical value of the test statistic (- Critical Value of F for ANOVA).
Make a decision about the null hypothesis – accept or reject.
Interpret your findings – is there a relationship between these two variables? If so, what is the nature of that relationship? (Refer to the means or percents) Speculate on why these findings might be as they are.
Here is an example. Please do it correct and send it as a microsoft word.
H1: Social Class and TV hours are related.
H0: Social Class and TV hours are NOT related.
The test statistic: F= 11.841
Critical Value of T= 2.60
df between= 3
df within= 1282
sig=.000
I have to reject the H0 hypothesis there is a relationship.
It’s statistically significant that the lower class watches more TV (4.37). While the upperclass have watched the least amount of TV (2.37). This would imply that the upper class can do more outside activities or do more things with the money they have compared to the lower class not being able to do these actions and instead stay home and watch TV. -
