Normative Ethics
Compare and contrast two of the three normative ethical theories we covered this semester. Be sure to include the following:
Are the views consequentialist or non-consequentialist theories? Describe the difference.
Which philosophers advocated the views? If there is more than one that advocated a particular view, note how their views differed.
Present 1 objection to each theory.
This can be an objection (disadvantage) that we discussed this semester, or your own.
Be sure to fully explain the objection.
Reply to the objection
What do you think of the objection? Is it compelling? Why or why not?
Evaluate the theories
State which theory you think has the better position. Explain why you believe that.
Apply the theories to some action to help show why the theory you chose does a better job of resolving ethical dilemmas.
Social/Political Theory
Compare and contrast Hobbes’ and Locke’s views about what life would be like in the state of nature. Be sure to include the following:
What is the state of nature?
How do their views regarding human nature inform their views about what it would be like?
Why do they believe that we would join a social contract and consent to be governed? Be sure to explain what the ‘social contract’ is.
Which view do you think is closer to the truth? Why?
Present Mills’ criticism of social contract theory
What does he think is misguided about the ‘state of nature’ thought experiment?
Why does he believe that the social contract is actually a racial contract? What does this mean?
In what ways do we continue to see the consequences of this racial contract?
Evaluate the arguments
Is social contract theory still worthwhile or is it something that should be abandoned?
If it is worthwhile, how can we adjust the thought experiment to take into account Mills’ criticisms? What would that look like? If it is not worthwhile, why isn’t it? What should we do instead?
Note that this is essentially the current debate regarding Critical Race Theory. If you would like to frame your evaluation of the arguments from this perspective, please do, but it is not required.
Religion
Present two of the arguments we covered this semester.
You may choose two of the three arguments FOR the existence of God, or you can choose one argument FOR the existence of God and the argument we covered that denies the existence of God.
Be sure to fully explain each of the premises of the arguments.
Present 1 objection to each theory.
Explain the objections in detail.
These may be objections we discussed in class or your own objections.
Reply to the objections
How might one respond to those objections?
Which do you find more compelling- the objections or the replies? Explain.
Evaluate the theories
State which theory you believe has the better position. Explain why you believe that.
If you don’t think either theory gets it quite right, say what you think the theories are missing.
Free Will
Compare and contrast Strawson’s Hard Determinism with Ayer’s view of Soft Determinism
Explain the views in detail.
How are these views similar? How are they different?
Formulate a scenario in which one might question whether or not a person is freely acting (i.e. has free will).
Do not use any of the scenarios I discussed. Come up with your own.
Apply each of these two theories to that scenario.
Explain why Strawson would say that the person is or is not acting freely in your scenario.
Explain why Ayer would say that the person is or is not acting freely in your scenario.
Be clear and detailed about how they would analyze the particular situation given their theory.
Evaluate the theories.
Which of the two views do you find more compelling? Why?
You should use your application of their theories to your case to help with this. The theory you prefer should have done a better job of demonstrating whether or not the person was free in the scenario you formulated.
This part of the essay should also include any objections you have to the theory you find the least compelling and support for the one you find more compelling.
If you don’t find either of the theories compelling, say why and explain your own view.

Does owning a restaurant in a small town that has few causes economic harm, or does it benefit the owner and the area

You’ll use THE SAME TOPIC AND SOURCES about a controversial topic in your field that you’ve collected and presented in your annotated bibliography to help you write a long academic argumentative essay where you take a position on the issue and persuade the reader to accept it.

What goes into my argumentative essay?

In the essay, you should:

Describe the issue you have chosen to research.
Describe the different positions which people in your field have on this topic using research and your own knowledge.
Provide a clear and explicit thesis statement which explains your position and your reasons why this position is the best choice.
Develop an argument for your position with reasons and evidence from outside sources as well as your own opinions.

Create sentences that are precise, concise, and correct.
Show evidence of revision in your final draft.
Pay attention to English conventions for spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
How should my argumentative essay be formatted?

Replication of Research

Not sure how many pages I need but I need the writer to replicate a research study. Attached are my STATA and Regression. Correct anything that looks wrong and then replicate this research paper. Do not copy. Add your own spin to the research! Attached is the paper you are replicating also!

Can you tell the writer a replication of a study is repeating a study’s procedure and observing if the prior findings repeat in similar conditions. A study is replicated when the results of original study are as closely related to the newly collected data. Just some info to help them out.

Identify the problem to be addressed and the setting in which it occurs.

You have been talking with your team and interacting with patients. You see some patterns that you would like to change to improve quality. Your team is motivated to help.

This week you will identify the focus of your project and anticipate the ethical, legal, and regulatory concerns that may arise in your career as a nursing leader.

For this summative assessment, create a presentation that communicates the focus and scope of your project. You may select from multiple venues to explain the details of your plan. You will demonstrate problem-solving skills as you organize the details of your plan.

Resource: Question Development Tool – Appendix B.

Begin your plan with the following:
Define the problem.
Identify the problem to be addressed and the setting in which it occurs.
Outline your proposal to address the problem.
Identify and discuss ethical, legal, and regulatory concerns relating to the problem.
Explain why you chose the problem.

Support your plan by gathering as much information about your selected problem as possible. Consider both qualitative and quantitative data, for example:
Leader and peer interviews
Patient/customer surveys
Quality improvement (QI) reports from the facility
Benchmarking studies/baseline data.
If baseline data is available:
What are the goals?
Are current practices meeting the organizational goals?
Are the prescribed practices followed?

Format your assignment as one of the following:
15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation
The slides should only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long bullet points. Use speaker notes to convey the details you would give if you were presenting. See create speaker notes from Microsoft® for more help.
Record and upload a video of a 15- to 20-minute oral presentation
See How to record online course videos at home from Podia for more help.

How has the Biden administration’s response been different from and similar to the Trump administration’s response (e.g., how well have the experts such as Fauci served Biden in relation to Trump?

Another assignment requiring significant initiative and independent research: identify and evaluate the material components of the federal government’s post-Trump responses to covid 19. How has the Biden administration’s response been different from and similar to the Trump administration’s response (e.g., how well have the experts such as Fauci served Biden in relation to Trump?) The response should approximate 500 to 750 words, excluding word counts for references. However, students may research and write more. Please structure the response into introduction; discussion and analysis; conclusions; and references sections. All submissions should be uploaded in either pdf or word format.

In a 2-3 page paper, the equivalent of 500 words, (+/- 10%), assume the role of ARFF Commander. From your lessons learned of the Ramstein

In a 2-3 page paper, the equivalent of 500 words, (+/- 10%), assume
the role of ARFF Commander. From your lessons learned of the Ramstein
Airshow Disaster, explain how you would modify the emergency response
plan for future airshows at the Ramstein Airbase.
Some key lessons learned:
There were hundreds of people running in all directions away from the explosion which hampered ARFF movement.
Radio communications were blocked due to language differences (English and German).
Parking for the show bottlenecked emergency response from civilian hospitals.
As you study this disaster, feel free to list other things that might
have caused delays in rescue. Take note of page 488 of our text as you
prepare your SERP.

Search entries or author

Teaching about racism

Research
You must have at least five different sources, one of which will be the weekly reading. Five different articles from the same publication does not count; there must be five different sources. The sources must also be from the last three years.
Your sources must be academic journals or newspapers/mainstream publications or websites, not random google searches.
I recommend using the library’s article search database. There are reference librarians on staff who can also help you.
Format
Your paper must be more than 1700 words in length. This is text only, not the header or your bibliography.
This is a formal paper and should be written as such. Do not use contractions (such as “can’t” or “don’t) and do not write in first person (i blah blah…)
Please proofread! Have someone other than yourself read the paper. I would welcome drafts as well.
Your essay must be checked for grammar and spelling, and must include proper citations, such as the page numbers. If you do not write very well, I strongly recommend you use the Stan State Student Writing Center for help with your paper.
Be sure to write in your own words and do not copy. Papers with copied/plagiarized portions will not be accepted.
Content
Description/explanation/evaluation/prescription
Description of the current public policy
Explanation of the issue and why it is relevant to our lives
Summary of both sides of this issue. Evaluation of these positions.
Prescription of what the government (state or federal) should be doing
I am not really interested in personal opinion except perhaps at the very end of the paper (one or two paragraphs).
In an “A” paper,
Content is comprehensive, accurate, and persuasive
Major points are stated clearly and are well supported.
Research is adequate, timely, relevant, and addresses all of the questions stated in the assignment criteria
Citing your sources
You must cite your sources throughout your paper, not just at the end.
You must also provide a bibliography at the end.
I am not particular about the style of the citations, whether it is MLA, APA, or APSA.
Do not overuse quotations! You will only be allowed two direct quotes for the entire paper. Put things in your own words and then cite your source.
