What moral values are present in the film (as they relate to the ethical theory you have chosen)?

Assignment Question

Instructions: This assignment requires you to use Stage One of the Ethical Analysis Essay – Create an Outline as your starting point for writing an essay that analyzes the ethical dimensions in the film you have already selected. If you have not selected a film, please choose from the list below. If you cannot access these films, you may select a different film, but you will require prior approval from your instructor.

The essay should be written in the view of Utilitarian and Virtue ethics. Follow the instructions below for the essay format ) Essay Format Title Page – In APA format, include your paper’s title, your name, and your institution (i.e., Galen College), in that order. Introduction – Provide a brief synopsis of the film that includes the ethical dilemma present in the film. Introduce the ethical theory you will use to analyze the film.  Ethical

Analysis – Apply one ethical theory (Utilitarianism and Virtue ethics) to the medical ethical dilemma presented in the film. First, describe this ethical theory in your own words, using the readings and course materials as textual evidence for your explanation of the moral view. Next, discuss how this ethical theory could provide solutions or recommendations for remedying the ethical dilemma featured in the film. In your analysis, be sure to address the following questions:

1. What moral values are present in the film (as they relate to the ethical theory you have chosen)?

2. Are there instances of moral values in conflict with one another?

3. What moral guidance does the ethical theory that you selected provide the characters in the film? Reflection – Summarize what you have discussed in the essay and reflect on what you have learned. Lastly, discuss how what you have learned could be applied to your professional and personal life. Note- Remember, for a virtue ethicist, morality is determined by what our human nature is, that is, by our proper function/ design.

Part of that design is to live in healthy communities that promote the thriving of everyone and to promote developing a character in line with our nature.

Thus, in a virtue ethics approach, we must consider whether our actions will habituate virtue in ourselves and all the others involved. Will it produce a community living more in line with a proper functioning human nature or not?

When we have moral dilemmas where whatever choice we make will do something that seems to violate our nature, then we must use prudential reasoning and choose what will bring about the most good.

That is, what will result in our community and us most habituating a character that is in accordance with our design?

Lastly, remember that virtue ethicists will say that morals are objective and based on our human nature, which we did not create. Our preferences, desires, and whether we are generally good people are irrelevant.

Note – The essay must be written using APA format, double-spaced, 4 pages in length (not including title page and reference page), and written in Times New Roman using 12-point font. Please include a minimum of 3 APA in-text/post reference citations to support work.

Discuss three characters and how each character correlates with one aspect of Freud’s understanding of the subconscious mind (Id, Ego, and Superego).

After reading/watching the information provided on Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory, you will be choosing a character in Othello to analyze using Freud’s theories. Each of the characters in the play can easily be analyzed using Freud’s theories. However, I do believe that either Iago, Othello, Roderigo, Emilia, or Desdemona, would be the best choices. You may also choose to discuss three characters and how each character correlates with one aspect of Freud’s understanding of the subconscious mind (Id, Ego, and Superego). For Example: (Harry Potter Series) Harry as the Ego, Ron as the Id, and Hermione as the Superego See this Prezi for a more detailed explantation: https://prezi.com/q0sjakqa7_ms/harry-potter-and-freud/ It should be roughly 4-6 pages and use 1-2 outside sources on Freud’s theory, as well as the play itself.

Write a persuasive essay explaining how popular culture, literature, and the media relate to one another.

Write a persuasive essay explaining how popular culture, literature, and the media relate to one another.I wrote the first four pages so I just need you to write the last 4 and edit the feedback I was giving back. “I just want to say that my dissertation is about the democratization of cultural production, with the music industry as a case study. I’m happy to talk if you’re interested and/or need some direction. This is an improvement but the main issue is still a blending of your lit review and analysis. It is good that you can apply your concepts, but these are supposed to be in separate sections. The lit review just focuses on the concepts themselves – the analysis section is where you apply the concepts. So this is really just structural – separate your theoretical assumptions (lit review is for concepts) from the application of those concepts (deep reading of your media in the analysis section). Ultimately, your lit review section is too focused on Black Mirror when it should be focused on establishing your assumptions (concepts that you plan on using for your analysis). Further, each of the sources you chose only have one sentence describing them. I think you need to do the literature more justice – bring in a quote, explain their main argument, and demonstrate more than just a surface-level understanding of your sources.”

Write a persuasive essay about Al Maryah Community Bank’s business process.

Write a persuasive essay about Al Maryah Community Bank’s business process.We have completed Deliverable 1 and 2 only in this project, we use https://demo.bpmn.io/. to create the digram. Deliverable 3 is left which is: Process analysis and redesign • Complete a quantitative process analysis, including Cycle Time (CT) and Cycle Time Efficiency (CTE) calculations. • Complete a qualitative process analysis, including Value-Added analysis and Issue Register. • Propose a “to-be” process model (a redesigned model) using BPMN and include a descriiption of the proposed process changes. For each change, explain why you propose it, and what issue(s) it will help solve. • Include prior work from Deliverables 1 and 2 with corrections. • Team member contribution and reflection: Each team member must include a paragraph reflecting on their individual contribution to the project and what they learned in the process. here is the feedback on Deliverable 1 and 2 from the instructor Feedback from instructor 1. Deliverable #1 with correction is missing. You should have included Deliverable #1 work with correction according to the feedback you received. 2. There are a lot of modifications that need to be done in the as-is process model: The Start Event should be written in this format (noun + past-participle verb), for example: “loan application received”. You should add a label for the End Event. One of the lanes called “loan processing”? I think you may refer to the finance or accounting department in their company. The “customer” pool is missing. The Data objects should be an input or output from an activity (physical or electronic). You need to link your data object to an activity. “Data Store” is missing, you need to add a data store where Al Maryah Community Bank stores both the loan and customer information. The use of the different gateways is incorrect. The text syntax for some of the activities is incorrect. All activities should be written in this format: verb + noun. Some of the sequence flows are missing labels to clarify the flow of information. And why there is a floating “exception” text in the model? You should specify what is the estimated waiting time for the “Timer Event” in the model. So instead of “delay resolution”, there should be a more meaningful label. 3. Overall, the as-is model is very simple with very few activities and major issues that you need to consider and correct before your deliverable 3. you can add the Heuristic Process Redesign from chapter 8 to the business process
