The Paper Prompt:

Read Virginian George Fitzhugh Argues That Slavery is a Positive Good That Improves Society, 1854 (available on Canvas). Then Read Republican William Seward Warns of an Irrepressible Conflict, 1858 (available on Canvas). Use the arguments of Fitzhugh and Seward and discuss the main arguments coming from North and South in defense of their labor systems and against the other competing system. More specifically what does George Fitzhugh say about how the slave system benefits the South and what does he say in criticism of North’s Free Labor System, and what does William Seward say in criticism of the southern slave system and what does he say in praise of the North’s Free Labor System? Do not take sides in your essay, just explain how these two authors uphold their own respective systems and criticize the other labor system.

*Remember to use quotes/evidence from the readings to support your arguments, and offer in-text citations when you do (in compliance with MLA format)

Term Paper – Applied Ethics

Read the article, “Meet the Teens Who Want to Get Vaccinated Against Their Parent’s Wishes”. The Link: https://reason.com/2019/05/19/meet-the-teens-who-want-to-get-vaccinated-against-their-parents-wishes/

Write a paper in which you apply Kant’s ethics to the moral issue discussed in this article. The paper should be written in your own words and structured in accord with the outline given below. This outline addresses two questions concerning the morality of childhood vaccinations. Your paper should address these two questions applying the two parts of Kant’s ethical theory as follows:

1. Thesis statement.

2. Give the argument for and a clear statement of Kant’s Categorical Imperative. Apply the Categorical Imperative to the ethical question of childhood vaccinations in general. The questions is: In light of the established scientific medical evidence concerning childhood vaccinations, is it ethical to vaccinate children?

3. Kant’s Principle of Humanity includes an argument for human autonomy. What is this argument for human autonomy and what does it tell us about how humans should be treated? Apply this to the ethical question of vaccinating adolescent children who want to get vaccinated against their parent’s wishes. The question is: Should parents, who are against childhood vaccinations, allow their adolescent child to get vaccinated if the adolescent child disagrees with them and wants to get vaccinated?

4. What would be the counter arguments to the conclusion reached in #2 above? Also, what would be the counter arguments of anti-vaxxer parents to their child who wants to get vaccinated. What arguments could be given in response to these counter arguments?

5. What do you think about this issue and what is your argument for your position on this?

The paper should be about 750 words

COMPANY(coca cola)

According to Moyer et al., the appropriate market risk premium to use in the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is 8 to 9 percent, relative to 90-day Treasury bill rates, while the appropriate market risk premium is 7 percent, relative to long-term government bond income returns (2019). It is imperative that financial analysts use the correct market risk premium with the corresponding risk-free rate when calculating a company’s cost of equity with the CAPM. In this discussion forum, you will explore the impact of the assumptions and inputs used in the CAPM on a company’s calculated cost of equity.

In your post (with a minimum of 300 words):

Choose a publicly traded company.
Note: Be sure to choose a company that no other classmate has chosen.
Determine its beta from a published source.
Hint: Use Yahoo!Finance (Links to an external site.) or NASDAQ (Links to an external site.) to find the company’s beta.
Find the company’s financial information by putting the company’s name in the search bar.
Calculate the company’s cost of equity using the CAPM formula and the short-term risk-free rate assumptions.
Use 8.5 percent as the market risk premium.
Use the current 90-day yield (3-month yield) on U.S. Treasuries as the risk-free rate. Hint: Use the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Resource Center (Links to an external site.) to look up current 90-day (3-month) Treasury Yield Curve Rates.
Provide your calculations in a table in your post.
How Do I Insert a Table Using the Rich Content Editor? (Links to an external site.)
Calculate the company’s cost of equity using the CAPM formula and the long-term risk-free rate assumptions.
Use 7.0 percent as the market risk premium
Use the current 20-year yield on U.S. Treasuries as the risk-free rate. Hint: Use the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Resource Center (Links to an external site.) to look up current 20-year Treasury Yield Curve Rates.
Provide your calculations in a table in your post.
How Do I Insert a Table Using the Rich Content Editor? (Links to an external site.)
Compare the two different conclusions of the company’s cost of equity based on your two calculations (based on short-term and long-term risk-free rates).
Hypothesize (rather than calculate) how the different cost of equity estimates would impact the calculation of the weighted average cost of capital for your selected company.
Explain the reasoning of your hypothesis. In your explanation, include a discussion of the company’s beta and the amount of debt the company has currently.
Ask at least one question about market risk premiums used in the CAPM formula.

Explain why Different audiences require different communication styles and media. In this assignment, you will communicate the same information to different audiences in different formats.

You have been coordinating with the benefits team to modify the current employee benefits package to support your long-term employee engagement and retention strategy.

After a lot of research and communication with different providers, the benefits team has sent you the following memo regarding the change. As part of the team spearheading the benefits change process, you are tasked with communicating details of the new package to the affected audiences.

Memo

From: Benefits Department

To: Director, Strategic Planning

RE: Change in Benefits

Overview: The company has had the same benefits provider for ten years and we have reached the end of the contract. As premiums and the cost to the company have increased every year, benefits have remained the same and even decreased in some areas. Additionally, employees have been sharing concerns regarding the cost, co-pays, coverage, and options of the current provider. Therefore, in order to conduct due diligence, the benefits team began reviewing other providers last year. Based on the feedback of employees and needs of the company, the following criteria were considered in the search:

Price of premiums
Lower deductibles
Improved dental plan option
Improved eye care plan option
Inclusion of health care savings or spending accounts
Enhanced long- and short-term disability coverage
Wellness programs
Reduced premiums for nonsmokers
After reviewing the different plans offered and extensive consultation with other stakeholders, the benefits team has selected a new program. Compared to the current program, employees will experience the following enhancements in the new program:

Plans with multiple deductible options
Health care savings account
A wellness program that offers access to a weight loss application, incentives for wellness visits and activity logs, and reimbursement for gym memberships and smoking cessation programs
Improved dental plan
Although these were part of the search criteria, the new program does not include:

Lower premiums
Improved eye care plan options
Reduced premiums for nonsmokers
Enhanced long- and short-term disability coverage
Benefits to the company include:

Reduced premiums for the employees engaging in wellness programs
Additional reduction in rates for in-network usage
The option of a “gold plan” for executives that is significantly more cost-effective than the previous plan
The new benefits plan will go into effect on January 1 of the new fiscal year and will be rolled out during the open-enrollment period of the current year.

Please contact the benefits department if you have any questions.
