Applied Ethics Academic Article Review

The Applied Ethics Academic Article Review
The “Content Guide” describes the specific details for the paper.
PLEASE APPLY EACH BULLET POINT TO THE PAPER
You CANNOT review any of the articles which are reviewed in the attached PDF example.
You also CANNOT review any of the articles reviewed in the attached PDF example. The example PDF paper is to help you understand the paper.

Assignment Rationale
For this assignment, you will read, analyze, and critique an academic research article written about applied ethics, which is a work of contemporary philosophy (objective 1).

In the summary component of the paper, you will discuss how a contemporary philosopher applies those same concepts and principles to address moral concerns (objectives 2, 3, 4, and 5).

In the critical analysis component of the paper, you will discuss how someone might reasonably disagree with what they say (objective 7), as well as how someone might apply what they say to various aspects of life (objective 6).
Assignment Prompt
This is a 1000-to-1250-word paper (approximately 4-5 pages) that must half summarize (approximately 500 words) and must half critically analyze (approximately 500 words) a recent academic article (published in 2018 or later) of your choice on applied ethics. This review of an academic article will be written as a professor might write a critical review of an academic book. The word length is important, because 1000 words is the length of a standard academic book review.

It must be exactly eight paragraphs, in the same order and with the same content as specified in the guidelines. It should be written “like an English paper” in terms of the quality of the writing itself and “like a philosophy paper” in terms of the precision of its ethical content, such as how appropriately it defines and uses philosophical terminology.
The paper must be written about a single academic article published in 2018 or later, on a topic applied ethics, no questions asked. Applied ethics refers to the application of the ethical theories to moral issues: the “ethics of” a given topic (for example, the “ethics of” zoos), a given topic’s “ethics” (for example, “zoo ethics”), or specific applications of ethics (for example, ethics of keeping elephants in zoos).

Style Guide
Formatting
The review should be written as a continuous narrative: There are no separate sections.
Please observe standard writing conventions of 2-3 paragraphs per page, double-spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman, 1” margins.
Language
The review should be written in academic style.
The article should be written in the historical present tense (that is, we know the author “wrote” the article in the past, but you’re presenting it as if the author “writes” now).
The author is doing the action, not “the article.”
Since you are reviewing an ethics paper, you must incorporate technical philosophical words where appropriate, taking into consideration that different authors may understand those same terms differently and defining those words accordingly.
References and Citations
Do not use any outside sources in the review, other than the article under review. Cite page numbers only if you quote the article directly, e.g. (p. 29). Cite section numbers, e.g. (sec. 3), if no pages are available or when you reference the sections of the article in the first paragraph.
Quotes should be used sparingly, if at all. Citations are needed for direct quotes or to point out specific information to the reader. Citations for section numbers are required in the first paragraph.
Content
Remember, the point of the review is to explain why the article is worth reading to someone who has not yet read the article – but who may be interested in doing so!
Better reviews will critique the limitations and strengths of an article in terms of clear examples, rather than generalizations. Limit your discussion to two points of limitation and two points of strength.
A good measure of success is whether someone who has not read the article can answer basic questions about it: How is it structured? Who wrote it? What is it about? What makes it unique and worth reading? What might make it not worth reading? If someone cannot answer these questions after reading your review, you must rewrite and revise the review
Content Guide
Academic Articles
The review must be written about an academic research article.
An article is academic if it is published in an academic journal. An academic journal publishes peer-reviewed articles written by scholars and professionals. Journals dedicated to publishing the work of only undergraduate or graduate students are not true academic journals, and articles published in them are not suitable for the review.
An article is a research article if it defends a thesis. Some academic journals also publish book reviews and opinion-editorials. These are not suitable for this assignment.
Scientific articles written according to the scientific method typically do not make moral points, making most of them unsuitable for this assignment, but there are exceptions.
Title
The citation of the academic article under review also functions as the title of the paper. This is a citation style that is often used in ethics papers written by professors.
The citation is created using a hanging indent.
Everything, including your name line, is bolded
DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier. This functions as the article’s unique serial number. You must use the direct link to the DOI. If no DOI is available, you will need to link to the article’s digital “home” on the journal’s website. Do not use links to library databases.
Title Format
Author Last Name First Initial (year in parentheses) Title of article in all lowercase. Title of Journal in Uppercase volume number of the journal:page range of article. DOI link
Reviewed by Your First Name and Last Name, undergraduate at Blinn College (or Texas A&M)
Title Example

Reviewed by Steve Dezort, instructor at Blinn College

Paragraph 1: Structure and Scope
The first three sentences need to
1) Indicate the issue that the paper is addressing
2) Indicate the author’s research question, in the form of a statement (E.g., “In this article, Steve Dezort seeks to answer . . .”)
3) Indicate the author’s answer to the research question, the thesis (E.g., “He argues that . . .”).
The remainder of the paragraph should describe article’s structure, organization, and sections, referencing those sections in parentheses. For example, “Section 1” of the article would be referenced as (sec. 1).
The content should be specific, not what the author is doing, but what the author is questioning, describing, explaining, arguing, etc.
All the sections must be accounted for in parentheses. Subsections should not be referenced.
Refer to the author by both their first and last names at first mention, and by last name only at subsequent mentions.
Do not reference the title of the article or the titles of the author. For example, do not refer to the author as Doctor (Dr.), Professor (Prof.), or Mister (Mr.).
Paragraph 2: People, Perspective, and Point
Describe the perspective from which the author writes the article by mentioning the author’s discipline, and the author’s research specialization within that discipline. For example, the author’s discipline might be philosophy, and their specialization within that discipline might be business ethics.
You will have to do an “academic background check” to find out the author’s discipline and area of specialization. This “academic background check” will typically lead to a university’s website. You should not reference this as an outside source. It is not plagiarism.
You should use the same pronouns that the author uses in their self-description.
The author’s place of employment, job title, and degrees are irrelevant and should not be mentioned.
Describe the contribution that the author is seeking to make to their research specialization. This is what the author claims they are seeking to contribute.
Paragraphs 3 and 4: Thesis and Argument
These paragraphs elaborate on the first 3 sentences of paragraph 1 and therefore must match that content.
Describe the author’s argument in the article.
Summarize their main point (thesis) and sketch their arguments in support of that main point.
Paragraphs 5 and 6: Points of Limitation
Limit each paragraph to only 1 point of limitation. Examples include:
Evaluate the breadth, depth, scope, and limitations of the article.
Discuss what the author covers and what the author leaves out.
Evaluate whether the author’s claimed contribution is indeed what they make
Evaluate how convincing the author’s arguments are.
Including an example or two would be helpful to the reader.
Use language such as “Someone might be interested to know more about …” or “One aspect of the issue that readers would like to know more about is …”
Paragraphs 7 and 8: Points of Usefulness
Limit each paragraph to only 1 point of strength. Examples include:
Evaluate the strengths of the article.
Discuss the interesting insights the author offers.
Comment on the ways the article is useful and who might find the article useful. Specifically discuss how someone might apply what they say to various aspects of life.
Including an example or two would be helpful to the reader
Paragraph 8 is not a conclusion. The conclusion is the last sentence, so end on a positive note with a sentence on why the article is worth reading and recommended for reading.

Geology of Florida

Soft-rock geologists (sedimentologists) will find Florida geology attractive. But if you are, like myself, a hard-rock geologist, a petrologist-mineralogist, or a mining geologist, you could say that the geology of Florida is boring. It is like comparing Lake City fair to Disneyworld. Florida has no snowcapped mountains, no valleys or deep canyons, no glaciers, no volcanoes, no fault line, and it does not experience (only remotely) earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. However, Florida geology has its charm and a tumultuous history that deserves some attention. To study Florida geology is to study ecosystems, coastal processes, coral reefs, karstic terranes, running water and groundwater that constantly shaped the land to what it is today.
II – The African Origin Of Florida:
As I like to put it, Florida is a runaway child from Africa who left the continent to find refuge in North America. It is a geological equivalent of a refugee. There you have it, Florida was once part of Africa.
The Florida Platform or Plateau is 530 million years old and was born before the Continental Drift split the Pangea (Links to an external site.), an ancient landmass, into the continents we see today. The Earth itself is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old. During the split of Pangea, 230 million years ago, Africa and South America were stuck together. Then a piece of the African continent (Links to an external site.) that would become the Florida Platform, drifted away and collided with the North American continent to become the basement rocks of the Florida Peninsula today.
Runaway pieces of continents that drift away and attach themselves to major landmasses are nothing new. Such foreign migrating fragments of continents are called “Exotic Terranes (Links to an external site.)
” and are found also in the West Coast of the North American continent. Watch this link how it happened (Links to an external site.)
Many of these migrant pieces of land were brought from Mexico or the Pacific plate by tectonic activity. They are now part of the United States and Canada but are still sliding North.

Now, Do The Continental Drift Sid Shuffle:

Florida, compared to the rest of the country, is very young and is shaped by the ocean as a result of climate change and sea level fluctuations.
Questions:
Please read the attached document and let us know what caught your attention the most by answering these questions.
1. Were you aware that Florida was a runaway child from Africa, and is mostly an ocean-born land?
2. Did you know that limestone was the major rock formation in Florida and it forms in the ocean?
3. Have you ever held a limestone rock? You can find one around you, in your backyard.
3. Did you know that all our drinking water is stored in limestone, the Floridan aquifer?
4. Were you aware that Florida could sink again under water up to 100 feet maybe? Don’t move to South Dakota yet,
5. When driving in Florida, have you noticed lowlands and highlands?
6. Shouldn’t we call Florida the Ocean state or the limestone state instead of the sunshine state? Florida is only the 10th sunniest state in USA. Hawaii (an Island) is the only state surrounded by more water than Florida.

“I was aware of the Pangea split, but not that Florida came from Africa and ended up attaching itself to North America. I am honestly not sure how I feel about that. If all of the countries were together to begin with, then wouldn’t it be possible that Florida was just a broke off piece, (an island) not belonging to anyone during the split. How do they know it was strictly part of Africa to begin with? I was also aware that Florida was ocean-born land. It makes the most sense, the fact that it is a peninsula and surrounded by oceans.
Answer:
Thank you very much for asking for more clarity to the statement.
If you watch the video in the text, and keep your eyes closely to the area between Africa and South America, you will see that Florida was part of Africa after North America broke away from Africa and South America. Then Florida detached itself from Africa as an exotic terrane. Afterwards, it moved away from Africa and decided it would be better off migrating to North America. The conclusion was reached by studying the age and the correlations of rocks between West Africa and the Eastern Part of North America.

This geological map shows a suture between Florida and the South-Eastern US states that indicates the foreign origin of Florida.

The Appalachians mountains themselves have a sister mountain located in West Africa called Mauritanides belt, and another one in western Europe called the Caledonian mountain. It was all one mountain belt before the split of Pangea. The opening of the Atlantic ocean separated these formations which then evolved separately. In my French doctorate thesis, I studied this Mauritanides mountain rock formations and showed how they split from the Appalachians.

Most of these correlations studies between North America and Africa were done by a collaboration between the University of Georgia and some French and African geologists under the direction of Professor R. D. Dallmeyer. Here is an article written by him and a French geologist that documents the age and the nature of the rocks between Florida and West Africa, and proved that Florida basement rocks were attached to Africa after Pangea opened up.

Professor Dallmeyer organized an international meeting financed by the United Nations/UNICEF to study the geological correlations between West Africa and the Western USA. Many geologists around the world were present at this conference I also attended in Mauritania, and presented some of my work in that regard.

June Jordan calls Wheatley “Phillis Miracle” in her work “The Difficult Miracle of Black Poetry in America.”

Contemporary poet June Jordan calls Wheatley “Phillis Miracle” in her work “The Difficult Miracle of Black Poetry in American.” Why is Wheatley’s achievements considered a “miracle?” How did this miracle affect the thinking and assumptions at the time and even contributed to the abolition of slavery? Include direct quotes from Jordan’s work, but it would help to futher develop your argument; however, Jordan’s work would be a primary source (and not count toward your teo secondary sources)
