In real-life applications, statistics helps us analyze data to extract information about a population. In this module discussion, you will take on the role of Susan, a high school principal. She is planning on having a large movie night for the high school. She has received a lot of feedback on which movie to show and sees differences in movie preferences by gender and also by grade level.

She knows if the wrong movie is shown, it could reduce event turnout by 50%. She would like to maximize the number of students who attend and would like to select a PG-rated movie based on the overall student population’s movie preferences. Each student is assigned a classroom with other students in their grade. She has a spreadsheet that lists the names of each student, their classroom, and their grade. Susan knows a simple random sample would provide a good representation of the population of students at their high school, but wonders if a different method would be better.

You can review the student demographics here: Module One Discussion Data.

Directions:
The Purpose of this assignment is to break down the argument according to the Toulmin System of Argument. It should NOT have an introduction and a conclusion. Address each # in its own paragraph and section. Make sure to BOLD FACE the key terms (Claims, Qualifiers, Evidence/Reasons, Condition of Rebuttal, and Warrants) and use a header for each section (see example).
Answer these questions fully with regards to the article you chose to analyze: You must answer each question in its own paragraph. Use quotations marks when quoting. Number your Answers
Summarize the major claims the author makes in this essay in your own words? (Claims are the arguments the author wishes to prove)
What qualifiers does the author use? And how do these affect his/her argument? (i.e. do they help to make the claims more reasonable? Flexible? ) (To see examples of qualifiers go to page 140 of your textbook). Alternately, does the text use absolutes (words like “all, never, everyone, no one, always, etc.) and how does that affect the argument?
What evidence (reasons and/or examples) does the author provide to support his/her claims? Do those reasons/evidence logically support that claim?
What conditionals of rebuttal does the author address? Are they addressed fairly? Sufficiently? Or were there conditions of rebuttal that should have been addressed but weren’t? Explain.
What warrants are there for this argument? Are they justifiable? At any point does the author defend their values or judgments? (Think of it this way, what values or beliefs does the author expect the reader to share in order to accept their argument? Would the reader see the “reasons” given in question 3 as legitimate reasons and defensible reasons and if so why? If not why not? )
MLA format Heading
MLA format Works Cited Page listing primary source (your book: treat it as a work in anthology; see below for example)
MLA formatted in-text citations (All of these sources have page numbers so you will need in-text citations for every quote and every paraphrase)
400 words minimum (paragraph structure for your answers to each section)
Use “headers” for each section of the assignment (see example)

Watch the movie “Inquality for All.” Use the CC.

Barriers To Ethical Judgment And Moral Leadership
Making an ethical decision would seem to be straight-forward: Consider the potential consequences of the decision, determine the options, and then act based on sound ethical principles. Yet many organizations fail to act ethically, often because individual decision makers are swayed by powerful forces within the culture of the organization to act in ways incongruent with sound ethical principles. In Chapter 3 of Moral Leadership, Messick (2006) wrote about forces that act on decision makers, identifying three specific barriers to ethical judgement and moral leadership. Critically analyze and evaluate these barriers and Messick’s arguments about how and why they occur, applying your understanding of the barriers to your own workplace or to an organization with which you are familiar.
In a paper of at least 2,100 words (exclusive of title, abstract and reference pages), critically review and analyze Messick’s three barriers to ethical judgment and moral leadership, supporting your analysis with additional academic literature. Discuss how some or all of these barriers are exhibited within the organization you have identified to profile. Additionally, identify any other barriers that may have implications related to ethical judgment and moral leadership within this organization. What are the impacts of these barriers on organizational constructs such as culture, teamwork and decision-making? What recommendations do you have for leaders and managers in the organization to overcome these barriers?
In addition to required readings and any websites from which you access information, reference at least four additional academic sources (academic journal articles) to support your analysis, evaluation and recommendations.
