Discussion Board 1 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

Is rhetoric an art that seeks to teach people to be good and just, or is rhetoric simply a tool, in itself neither good nor bad, to use to persuade others to do what you want? Are tyrants like Hitler “good rhetoricians,” or are they misusing rhetoric? Explain your answer.

Discussion Board 2 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

Aristotle thinks that people have to be virtuous to be happy. Do you agree with him? Why or why not?

Discussion Board 3 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

Does someone or something have to exist to be perfect? Why or why not?

Discussion Board 4 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

If you were in a state of nature, a primitive condition without civil government, would you help people or use your powers to fulfill your desires even if it meant not helping others? Do you think most people would help each other or act from self-interest?

Discussion Board 5 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

Hume suggests that thinking about God, even that God must exist in order to be perfect, does not prove that God exists. According to Hume, only experiencing God proves that God exists. Have you ever seen or felt God in your life? What would Hume say if you told him you had? Explain.

Discussion Board 6 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

If you continually do your duty from respect from the moral law, you’ll be morally good. If you’re perfectly moral, you’ll be happy. But happiness won’t come in this lifetime because you won’t be perfectly moral in this lifetime. If striving for moral perfection isn’t to be in vain, it is rational to believe in God as the guarantor of happiness in a future life. Do you agree with this argument? Why or why not?

Discussion Board 7 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

Consider the following hypothetical statement: “If something makes me happy, then it should make everyone happy.” Do you think anything is wrong with the statement? Explain your answer.

Discussion Board 8 First, post your own thoughts. This post should be substantial (containing at least 150-200 words)

Nietzsche claims that “God is dead.” Do you agree or disagree with Nietzsche? Give evidence either that God is dead or that God is not dead. Alternatively, if you believe that God does not exist and therefore cannot have died, give reasons for why you think so

Writing essay responses to the theme, be clear and specific to the theme thises.
The essay is expected to discuss the theme and pursue the thesis in relation to two of the works, as well as the authors.

The business model company I selected to use is Dutch Brothers Coffee Company
Each group must prepare a paper 20 pages in length, which presents the business model and strategic plan for your company. In addition, you must prepare a 15-minute presentation. Below I describe the elements of the paper and presentation that I expect you to include.
The Group Paper
I. Introduction: Describe the company; its products, markets in which it operates, relative size, and some history of the company.
II. Present the business model for the company. Use the framework of the Business Model Canvas to explain:
a). What value is being created?
b). For whom is the value created? the channel customer? the end consumer? which segments, if any?
c). How does the company reach its customers?
d). How is that value converted into revenue streams for the company?
e). What activities does the company need to create the value?
f). What resources are critical to the value creation?
g). What partners are needed?
h). How has the company designed its cost structure? (i.e., mix of fixed and variable costs)
III. Financial Analysis: Using publicly available information, try to find out the gross margin for the company and the net margin (i.e., the operating profit margin before financing and taxes–known as EBITDA). Can you figure out the operating leverage; if sales increase 10% what is the percentage change in EBITDA?
IV. Marketing Analysis: What customer segments does the company aim to reach? How? I would like to see you include an “empathy map” as part of the marketing analysis. See the book Business Model Generation for how to prepare an empathy map.
V. Strategic Plan: Obviously, you are not expected to put together a full blown plan. But this section of the paper should include the following:
a). Answer the five cascading questions from the book, Playing to Win.
b). Use the Strategy Logic Flow framework to present your strategic thinking. What is the attractiveness of the industry segment? How intense is that industry structure competition? Which are the elements of the value creation which are valuable to your channel customer? Which elements are valuable to the end consumer? Who are your competitors? Use Porter’s five forces model to analyze the intensity of competition and the likely response of competitors to the success of your company. Is the strategy sustainable?
The Group Presentation
Prepare a 15 minute presentation which you will present to the class. Do not try to present the whole paper to the class. Instead, include the following:
The Business Model Canvas: Give attention to the value proposition, the customer segments, and the channel customers. Describe any special features such as the Revenue streams or critical partners.
Competition: Describe the main sources of competitive pressure on the company and how the strategy seeks to deal with it. What are the likely threats to sustainability of the strategy?

After watching “Freedom Writers” & Manny Scott’s presentation, reflect on a time when you felt an individual did not take your cultural beliefs/culture into consideration. How will you, as an educated student of communication, be considerate of the cultural differences of others?
Utilize the theory of symbolic interactionism and the definition of culture/culture lesson in addition to one more theory learned in class to explain your approach(es). You must reference Manny Scott’s Presentation AND the movie “Freedom Writers” within your paper. Write a 3–4-page paper describing your approach(es). Use of lectures, the textbook and outside sources using the library databases will be required.

through this paper, you will:
Accurately identify at least 2 concepts/theories learned in the lectures (Be sure to cite the lectures!) Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the concepts/theories identified, providing thoughtful responses to this research to back up all claims in a thorough manner.

In other words – Explain and define the concepts/theories you have identified using your research (citations!). Demonstrate a thorough understanding of concepts/theories identified using accurate examples of how these concepts/theories are displayed in the film. Explanations need to show a great amount of critical thought.
In other words – Support your claim that the scene in the movie is displaying the concepts/theories you have identified.
Utilize ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: Textbook, Lectures
Properly CITE ALL OF THESE SOURCES USING MLA Format to accurately back-up ALL claims. Include properly structured parenthetical citations and a works cited/bibliography page.
Where applicable, please be sure to give a brief summary of the scene/personal example to which you are referring (Please don’t write more than a paragraph per instance)
Although this paper uses a mainstream movie and real-life examples, at all times you should use scholarly writing and language throughout the paper. Be sure to use the formal names of concepts/theories used in the lecture/textbook.
(i.e.: DO NOT say: “They were poor listeners in that scene. So, I feel that they should have listened better.” Another no-no would be, “He was so mean to her. So, I definitely think that should break-up”.)
o A good example would be (In this example, I’m using pretend names/scenes. And, this is just a partial explanation of a theory):
In “x” scene, John is not displaying effective listening. According to Inter-Act’s chapter, Listening Effectively, listening is, “the process of receiving, constructing meaning from, and responding to spoken and/or nonverbal messages” (Verderber and Verderber 196). From the basic definition to the Active Listening Process outlined in this chapter, John fails on all accounts. He is watching television while Janet is speaking to him about a serious topic. Therefore, he is displaying poor eye contact and is truly not physically and mentally ready to attend (204). He interrupts her several times, clearly not making the shift from speaker to listener a complete one, leaving no basis for understanding the message being sent.
Selection of theories you can use to apply to this movie (If there are others we have covered that are not listed here, please discuss with me):
• The Communication Process
• Culture
• Perception
• The Active Listening Process
• The Five Types of Listening
• The Five Types of Conflict and Conflict Management Styles • Verbal Communication
• Nonverbal Communication
• Communication in Relationships (Johari Window, Interpersonal Needs Theory, Exchange Theory)

Write an owner’s manual for the parents of a newborn. Describe what they should expect in terms of the key social, behavioural, and biological changes that will likely occur in the first 2 ½ months of their child’s life. Describe things that parents could do to promote the best possible development for their children.

Be sure to support your arguments with the material presented in the lectures, the text, and other sources that you find.

The manual should be no longer than five double-spaced pages written in 12-point font. You must use APA style when referencing and have a reference section at the end, but you do not have to adhere to any of the other “rules” of APA (e.g., running heads, manuscript headers, etc.).

This is for Policy and Law course – pick ten questions and answer in essay format. Please see attachment for instructions. Paper can exceed 3 pages.

This will use your HW3 answers. Email us for the HW3 solution if you were not able to solve it and are willing to accept your HW3 grade as you submitted it.
Write a program that loops over several search terms and writes the lines with positive matches to separate text files (one for each term).
This program will extend what you did for HW03 in two ways: reuse your search function from HW03 (leave it unchanged), but in your main program (readas: not in your function) you will count the number of results for each search term, and write out files with those results (one for each term).
For example, if you use three search terms: “oxford”, “cat”, and “London” then your program will end up creating three text files (oxford-results.txt, cat-results.txt, and London-results.txt), each containing the lines containing those words (that return True from your search function). Your program should also print out the counts.
The set of rules about a positive match remain the same from HW03 and those test cases should remain the same.
Key tip: you want your outer loop to be the search term and the inner loop to be the lines of text. Discussion question to complete AFTER completing the homework: Why does it need to be this way? What sort of things would go wrong if you flipped it around?
Step 1a: Open the file and be able to loop through the lines. The only goal for this step is just to get the file open and the lines isolated, and run those lines through you search function using a single search term. You can likely copy what you did for HW3. Read the file in with readlines() instead of looping over the infile. You need to repeatedly loop over the file context, which will not work with the “for line in infile…” pattern. Visually inspect that the function call is returning True or False appropriately for each line.
Step 1b: Once you have step 1a, adapt your code as follows:
create a list of search terms, eg [‘cat’, ‘London’, ‘horse’] or whatever you’d like
add a for loop over that list of terms, and move your for loop going over the lines into this for loop (this creates your nested loop)
Print out the positive matches to check that this is working. Just worry about visually inspecting it for now. We’ll add the other elements in next.
Step 2: Use a dictionary accumulator pattern (Links to an external site.) to count how many times each term has a positive result on each line. Print the final dictionary result for visual inspection. For example, my solution using the Three Years in Europe gives the following result: {‘oxford’: 11, ‘paris’: 48, ‘london’: 50}. Remember we are counting the number of lines, not the number of instances.
Step 3: Write out all the line results for each term to separate files. Name the files ‘[term]-results.txt’. You’ll need to do an outfile pattern somewhere in our loop structure. (outer? inner? that’s for you to figure out) For example, my solution would make oxford-results.txt, cat-results.txt, and london-results.txt. These files should automatically be created based on the search terms list you make at the beginning of the program. This means I should be able to add/remove terms to that search list and have the program automatically adjust without having to add extra outfile lines within the code.
You will need to upload one py file containing your code and one docx/pdf file for your narrative.
