Instructions
See the general instructions in the Essay Discussion Instructions section of the course menu.
Once you choose which question you’d like to write about, write your essay, post it in the discussion board, and also save it as a Word document.
To create your post, click reply at the bottom of the discussion instructions.
To be able to read and respond to others’ posts, you will first need to publish your own post. Your first post is the one that will be graded–a blank post WILL be graded if it is your first post in the board. You can save your post as a draft, but it will not be published for students to view, nor will it be queued for grading until you click the Submit button. When you refresh the board, after you publish your post, it will allow you to view everyone’s posts.
Use your course texts to help you respond to the topic, and when you quote and summarize from the course texts, include information about the page reference.
You are discouraged from using additional sources. If you do choose to use an outside source, be sure to cite your source, just as you do when you use the course texts. If you use a quotation or an example from a website, cite the website’s URL and the date accessed.
Once you are ready for your classmates to read it, post the thread containing your essay. Then go to the TurnItIn dropbox section here in Blackboard and post your Word document into the dropbox. You do not need to include your response to another student in the file that you upload to TurnItIn.
Finally, read your classmates’ posts. A complete assignment includes your written response to at least one essay besides your own–part of your score is based on your reply to at least one of your classmate’s posts. It should be a meaningful reply that continues the discussion, points out something good about the post, and makes a constructive suggestion for improvement.
Essay Length tips–To answer these topics completely, it takes a minimum of 350 words. Use the topic questions and the scoring rubric to see if your draft responds fully to all parts of the question. A complete thoughtful answer is more important than word count.
Topics for your Essay, Choose one
Topic A: You try to live strictly by the moral rules contained in your religion’s moral code. The two most important rules are “Be merciful” (don’t give people what they deserve) and “Be just” (give people exactly what they deserve). Now suppose a man is arrested for stealing food from your house, and the police leave it up to you whether he should be prosecuted for his crime or set free. Should you be merciful and set him free, or be just and make sure he is appropriately punished? How do you resolve this conflict of rules? Can your moral code resolve it? To what moral principles or theories do you appeal?
PLEASE DO TOPIC A
The one I did is just to help get an IDEA of what needs to be done, DO NOT COPY AS IT IS USED WITH AI
Topic B: Why do you think people are tempted to use the straw man fallacy in disagreements on moral issues? How do you feel when someone uses this fallacy against you? To demonstrate your understanding and to teach the idea to the rest of the class, provide a relevant real-life example of the logical mistake. (You MAY use an outside source to help you present your example; be sure to summarize or paraphrase, cite, and use announcing verbs.) Choose carefully—consider whether your example does a good job of illustrating a Straw Man. Compare it to similar fallacies, and show why your example is a Straw Man rather than another fallacy like an Appeal to the Pearson. The discussion of your example should be detailed so that readers can evaluate the fallacy. Argue the case for why your example is an example of Straw Man.

In an organized essay, describe/summarize the kinds of information the site or report includes,
focusing specifically on information that would interest health care providers. (What kinds
of data or information are included? Who would find the site useful? etc.) Again, you are not
summarizing all of the information available. You are summarizing the KINDS of information
available. Please see the student example to get a sense of what this means. Do NOT copy and
paste passages from the site and do NOT “patchwrite.” (If you have not read the explanation of
plagiarism and patchwriting, go back to read the assignment!) If you are describing a shorter

not need to be a formal References entry.

“The Theme of Innocence and Experience in Anne Sexton’s ‘Her Kind’”
What do you think about the arguments made for the value of poetry in either
“Why Poetry?” or “Why People Need Poetry?”
1.
The theme of this week is innocence and experience. Select one of the poems we’ve read so far. What do you think that poem is saying about these concepts? In other words, what do you think the theme is? Remember that themes are not simply slogans or clichés; they’re more like a message the text is conveying.
Her Kind
Anne Sexton
1928 –
1974
I have gone out, a possessed witch, haunting the black air, braver at night; dreaming evil, I have done my hitch over the plain houses, light by light: lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind. A woman like that is not a woman, quite. I have been her kind.
I have found the warm caves in the woods, filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves, closets, silks, innumerable goods; fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves: whining, rearranging the disaligned. A woman like that is misunderstood. I have been her kind.
I have ridden in your cart, driver, waved my nude arms at villages going by, learning the last bright routes, survivor where your flames still bite my thigh and my ribs crack where your wheels wind. A woman like that is not ashamed to die. I have been her kind. -
Organizing a Bakery: The Importance of Organization Structure in Business Growth and Expansion
You and Organization Structure
To better understand the importance of organization structure in your life, do the following assignment.
Select one of the following situations to organize:
A copy and print shop
A travel agency
A sports rental (such as Jet Skis or snowmobiles) in a resort area
A bakery
Background
Organization is a way of gaining some power against an unreliable environment. The environment provides the organization with inputs, which include raw materials, human resources, and financial resources. There is a service or product to produce that involves technology. The output goes to clients, a group that must be nurtured. The complexities of the environment and the technology determine the complexity of the organization.
Planning Your Organization
Write down the mission or purpose of the organization in a few sentences.
What are the specific tasks to be completed to accomplish the mission?
Based on the specifics in question 2, develop an organization chart. Each position in the chart will perform a specific task or is responsible for a certain outcome.
You are into your third year of operation, and your business has been very successful. You want to add a second location a few miles away. What issues will you face running the business at two locations? Draw an organization chart that includes the two business locations.
Five more years go by and the business has grown to five locations in two cities. How do you keep in touch with it all? What issues of control and coordination have arisen? Draw an up-to-date organization chart and explain your rationale for it.
Twenty years later, you have seventy-five business locations in five states. What are the issues and problems that have to be dealt with through organizational structure? Draw an organization chart for this organization, indicating such factors as who is responsible for customer satisfaction, how you will know if customer needs are met, and how information will flow within the organization. -
Introduction and Outline for Course Project: Examining the Ethical and Responsible Development of Emerging Technologies “Creating an Effective Outline and Incorporating Proper Citations”
Course Project – Introduction and Outline
Our course and course project are not focused on simply celebrating cool new technologies. Rather, our intent is to examine and guide leaders toward ethical, equitable, socially and environmentally responsible continued development, appropriate regulation, and implementation of the technologies we have selected.
Before you can make any recommendations, you’ll need to consider your selected technology’s current strengths and weaknesses as well as its potential opportunities and threats. This week, you will organize your research on important historical, present, and future aspects of the technology in a detailed, research-supported outline of the recommendation essay you will develop over the coming weeks.
Your project will apply the following six-part structure.
Introduction – Establishing a clear focus frames the argument, establishes the writer’s ethos, shows relevance for the intended audience, and presents the writer’s overall thesis
Historical Context – Examining history, including important events, controversies, and actions, provides insights on our current situation
Current Situation – Looking beyond the shiny marketing helps us see both positive and negative implications for individual and groups of stakeholders.
Future Implications and Needs – Seeing potential opportunities and threats sets the stage for recommendations.
Recommendations – Providing practical, insightful, detailed recommendations can help your audience of powerful, profit-oriented influencers address underlying ethical issues, leading to longer term benefits for all stakeholders.
Conclusion -Capturing key points concisely prepares readers to take action.
