Philosophy and Religious Studies Program

/in /by

Each Student is to write an 8-10 page paper (double-spaced, 12 point font, 1” margins) on a concrete health care situation, applying the “four-box method” and Christian principles to the case. The chosen ethical situation is to be named in a one-sentence proposal in an email by September 27. The paper will consist of four parts: 1) statement of the issue in its concrete dimensions – medical indications, patient preferences, quality of life, and contextual features; 2) analysis of the issue in light of the AMA and Christian Principles; 3) medical-ethical appraisal of case, and, 4) an ethical judgment concerning treatment supported by argument. The paper will be due November 29. A superior paper will demonstrate incisive analysis of the case in regard to principles, the “Four-box” Method, and strong arguments for the student’s proffered judgment.

N.B. In this course we will utilize turnitin.com, an automated system which instructors can use to quickly and easily compare each student’s assignment with billions of web sites, as well as an enormous database of student papers that grows with each submission. Accordingly, you will be expected to submit all assignments in and electronic format. After the assignment is processed, as an instructor I receive a report from turnitin.com that states if and how another author’s work was used in the assignment. For a more detailed look at this process, visit http://www.turnitin.com.

For students to enroll in this class, they will need both the enrollment password you have chosen and the unique class ID generated by Turnitin. (If you will be submitting papers for your students, enter the class, enter the assignment, and click the submit paper button.)

need help articles summary

/in /by

By next week, you will need to commit to a topic for your semester-long research project. You want it to be a topic that you will still be interested in come December. This first step in the process is, therefore, very important.

Drawing on our class discussion, choose 3 “real-world” problems facing our society that may make it hard for you or others to achieve “the American Dream.” It’s best to pursue topics that you feel strongly about–but that you have not already made up your mind about; you want to go into your research with an open mind and genuine curiosity.

Record these problems on your document (the standard format, Times New Roman 12, double-spaced, MLA style).

For the first 2 topics, do some preliminary investigation, finding 2 sources that give you new information (stuff you didn’t know) about each topic. You only need 1 source for your final topic.

A good place to start is our course LibGuide (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (many thanks to Sarah Sanfillipo for building this guide), or use your favorite search engine. Avoid commercial sites and scholarly journal articles (we’ll get to those later). Look for sources that go into some depth, not just websites with general info.

As you search, you want to keep a record of your search terms (include them in the assignment)–because you will need this information for your Proposal. Also, keep a record of author, article title, publication title, and link; again, include this info in the assignment.

For each source, write 2-3 sentences in your own words about what you found most interesting (i.e. what you didn’t already know about the topic).

Here is an example of how your paper should be set up using MLA style (I’ve only completed the assignment for the first topic).

For full credit, you should have 3 problems, a minimum of 5 sources and at least 2 sentences about each source.

Planning and Organizing an Annual Conference

/in /by

You will begin your project by selecting a location for your company’s convention. In order for the project to proceed, it must receive approval from the Board of Directors. This document will communicate not only the location that has been selected but the reasoning behind this selection. This document is being submitted to the Executive Level of your company so be sure to exhibit appropriate, audience-specific tone and vocabulary for the purpose of defending your position. In a minimum of 4 pages, please do the following:

First formulate a detailed Project Definition Statement(s) which answers the following questions:

  • What work must be done?
  • Who will do the work?
  • How long will it take?
  • What resources are required?

Because an event this large will generate a huge amount of revenue for the community selected it is possible that some communities might attempt to sway the decision making process in their favor by offering “special deals” or “financial incentives” to improve their chances of being selected. Accepting this type of favoritism is contrary to the ethical code of your company but you must keep the lines of communication open to all communities considered in case of changes during the project planning phase.

Identify at least three ethical and legal issues that should be considered when making the decision of where to locate the convention. State at least 3 actions you would take to ensure the decision of the location of the convention made ethically.

  • Papers should be spell-checked and submitted to Grammarly prior to submitting your paper to the drop box.
  • *Grammarly instructions can be accessed by clicking on this link

  • Your submission should follow the essentials of APA (i.e., cover page, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, reference section at the end, in-text citations, etc.). For more information on APA, please visit the Online Library, which is available through the Resources linkPaper

Journal entries on literature

/in /by

Download this document and open it in Microsoft Word. Proceed to use this document as your living journal. After you complete an entry, save (and back-up) this journal. Proceed to complete entries as we cover readings in class. Once the entire journal has been completed, submit it for credit.

For each iBook reading you complete for the course, you are to produce a journal entry. The journal is designed to aid your comprehension of the material and will be used for assessment purposes. You are graded upon the thoroughness of your responses, the accuracy of your responses, your ability to support your claims, and your style (grammar & spelling matter). Each journal entry should be approximately 1 paragraph long (roughly 100 words) single or double spaced.

The Survey at the end of each journal entry is NOT graded. The purpose of the survey is to help Lynn University assess whether or not it is achieving the learning outcomes for the course. There is nothing to gain by lying and nothing to lose by being truthful. So help future students by answering the survey questions honestly.

For each chapter of the iBook, and subsequent journal entry, respond to the 1 or 2 questions or talking points and then complete the survey.
