Debate:Debate on a controversial topic and provide an analysis of arguments presented.

Write a 1,750- to 2,100-word debate paper in which you create a debate of a current event or other controversial topic and provide an analysis of arguments presented for both sides.

 

  • Introduction: Introduce the issue that is the subject of the debate.
  • Body
    • Include a minimum of two but no more than four arguments for the pro and con sides of the debate.
    • Evaluate any potential ethical, moral, or legal issues.
  • Conclusion
    • Identify what you determined is the more persuasive argument.
    • Reflect on the arguments presented and reveal your consensus.

Computer Science:A gentle introduction to programming using Python

Use Python to run the following .py Files with the original values and statements. Next, change some of the values to the following. Please keep in mind that statements may change accordingly once you modify the programs. The modified programs must execute correctly.

 

Code is adapted from MITOpenCourseWare, “A gentle introduction to programming using Python” (under the Open Education Consortium Global Network for Open Education and authorized by the creative commons license).

 

For Example 1, change “Hi Class!” to “Good Morning All”

 

For Example 2, change [3, 4, 5, 6] to [1.50, 7, 2.75, 9]

 

For Example 3, change (5, 6, 7, 8) to (100, 101, 102, 103)

 

 

 

1 – String Examples.py File

 

 

 

# Lecture 4

# string_examples.py

 

 

# Strings

 

 

# Define a string

new_string = “Hi Class!”

# Remember we can iterate through it

for letter in new_string:

print letter

 

 

# We can concatenate two strings together

s1 = “Hi”

s2 = “Class”

print s1 + s2

 

 

# but remember, gluing together with a comma adds an extra space

print s1, s2

 

 

# and with a comma you can glue together different data types

print s1, 6.189, s2

 

 

# We can index the string

print “new_string[0] is”, new_string[0]

# And slice it

print “new_string[0:3] is”, new_string[0:3]

 

 

# We can get the length of our string using the len function

print “len(new_string) is:”, len(new_string)

 

 

# And use various string methods on it

print “new_string.upper()”, new_string.upper()

print “new_string.lower()”, new_string.lower()

 

 

2 – List Examples.py File

 

 

 

# Lecture 4

# list_examples.py

 

# Lists are defined by brackets

 

new_list = [3, 4, 5, 6]

print “new_list is:”, new_list

 

# Just like strings, we can index & slice them

print “new_list[2] is:”, new_list[2]

print “new_list[0:2] is:”, new_list[0:2]

 

# And iterate through them:

for item in new_list:

print item

 

# Lists, however, are mutable! So, if we want we can change the

# value of one element

 

new_list[2] = 100

print “new_list is:”, new_list

 

# Or, add on a new element with append:

new_list.append(87)

print “new_list is:”, new_list

 

# Or insert

new_list.insert(0, 200) # insert at position 0 the element 200

print “new_list is:”, new_list

 

# Or even delete an element using remove

new_list.remove(100) # Write in the item that you want to remove from the list

print “new_list is:”, new_list

 

# Lists are possibly the most useful data structure in Python!

# We’ll see more about them in lab; check out the documentation on

# list methods for more cool things to do

 

 

3 – Tuple Examples.py File

 

 

# Lecture 4

# tuple_examples.py

 

 

# Tuples are immutable and defined by parentheses

 

 

new_tuple = (5, 6, 7, 8)

print “new_tuple is:”, new_tuple

 

 

# We can index them, just like strings

print “new_tuple[2] is:”, new_tuple[2]

 

 

# And iterate through them:

for item in new_tuple:

print item

 

 

# Even show how long they are

print “Tuple length is:”, len(new_tuple)

 

 

# and iterate through indicies

 

 

for index in range(len(new_tuple)):

print “Index is:”, index

print “Value at that index is:”, new_tuple[index]

 

 

# But because they are immutable, we cannot redefine

#  a single element (remember this does work with lists, though)

#new_tuple[1] = 77 # Returns an error

 

 

 

 

# We can also do something called _tuple unpacking_

 

 

(a, b, c, d) = new_tuple

print “a is:”, a

print “b is:”, b

print “c is:”, c

print “d is:”, d

 

 

# Make sure that you always have the same number of

# variables when you unpack a tuple!

 

 

# Tuples are immutable. To change a tuple, we would need

# to first unpack it, change the values, then repack it:

 

 

# Redefine b

b = 77

 

 

# Repack the tuple

new_tuple = (a, b, c, d)

print “new_tuple is now:”, new_tuple

 

 

Once you have executed these programs (1 – String Example; 2 – List Examples; and 3- Tuple  Examples), modify the .py files according to the instructions given to revise the code by program examples. You need to run the IDLE to execute the program changes and review the program results.

 

You can use the Snipping tools or screen print (ctrl + Print Screen) to show the Pythons editor’s (IDLE) code and results and demonstrate that your program executed correctly.

 

Create a submission file named as “ITM205-Case 4-Exercises-YourFirstNameLastName “containing executed programs (.py files) for 1 – String Example; 2 – List Examples; and 3- Tuple  Examples.

 

Write a summary document in Microsoft Word format named “ITM205-Case 4-Summary-YourFirstNameLastName” to show what you have accomplished.

critically analyze: “Critical Thinking involves analysis, evaluation, and a synthesizing of facts, ideas, opinions and theories”

Develop a short paper critically analyzing key content.  “Critical Thinking involves analysis, evaluation, and a synthesizing of facts, ideas, opinions and theories” (Jones, 2013).  Use the textbook “Skilled Facilitator” New and Revised by Roger Schwarz.

Should include

  • Title/cover page
  • Introduction
  • Content/Critical Thinking Analysis: Explain the results of an “intervention” within a group. Consider how the facilitator handled the intervention, group emotions, challenges/barriers. Analyze, evaluate, synthesize 2-3 key concepts/theories/models covered in the course to support your paper.  Provide examples (clear, specific, and justify your opinions with facts) on how you can apply these concepts/theories/models within an organization.
  • Summary/Conclusion
  • References

Community Corrections Analysis

 

Community Corrections may be a new term, but is an old concept.  Community corrections is more than 100 years old in the United States.

 

Write a 1,100 word to 1,400 word paper to evaluate the development, operation, and purpose of community corrections (probation and parole) and the legal, jurisdictional, and functional differences between these.

 

Within the evaluation, examine the relationship between federal, state, and local community corrections systems and federal, state, and local institutional corrections systems, and their independent jurisdictions.

 

Include examination of the effects of truth-in-sentencing law on parole and institutional corrections population.

 

Include at least four peer reviewed or professional research sources.

Decision-Making Criteria.

The CEO is considering three options with the same total construction and operating costs: expanding the warehouse next to the East Coast manufacturing plant; building a West Coast distribution center; or building a combination manufacturing and warehouse location on the West coast given the following general information, what are at least 5 criteria that must be considered when locating a new or expanded shipping warehouse domestically?

  1. The products are primarily medium- and large-size insulated coolers, like you might use for a picnic or trip to the beach. Transportation firms charge by space, or cubic feet, rather than weight, which is the more normal method.
  2. The coolers are made of 3 components, which are all produced by suppliers solely on the East Coast; the raw materials to make this product are bulky, and inbound shipping from the East Coast suppliers currently represents 20% of total raw material costs.
  3. The market is very competitive with generally stable or decreasing marketplace prices.
  4. In states that are warm year-round, sales are pretty steady; in states that have seasons, 90% of sales occur in the May–August period.
  5. Right now, to keep West Coast customers happy, the CEO says that they only charge those customers the local freight cost of shipping, which is $200 for anything up to half a truckload.
