3. Trends and Issues in Business Education. (2 pages)

Please list two trends/issues that are affecting today’s classrooms for business. This may also be affecting other disciplines. Discuss these trends/issues. Provide evidence of how, if these issues/trends are problematic, they might be overcome.

Explain in detail (using course readings/presentations from this module/week) how trauma can affect development, more specifically neural development. Discuss how spiritual development can counter the effects of trauma. What are the determining factors that lead to developmental delays when a child is exposed to trauma? Give details on the prevalence of different types of trauma and if they differ among different cultures. Are differing viewpoints considered, analyzed, and treated?

 

You will then write an essay of at least 600 words, drawing information from this course, outside readings, and presentations for that module/week. The essay must be strongly supported with proper citations of 2–3 current, scholarly sources in current APA format; include a reference page at the end. These sources must be less than 10 years old. DO NOT write opinions, but support your answers to the questions with your readings.

 

Your goal for this assignment is to apply an ethical theory to a real-world situation. You will examine an environmental issue and apply one of the ethical theories to understand how human interactions with the natural environment raise ethical concerns. You will do this by preparing and posting a PowerPoint slideshow consisting of 12 slides and a separate section under each slide for notes.

• Choose one of the following topics/issues and read about it at the indicated place:
  • Environmental justice/environmental racism (Article: Environmental Justice for All)
  • Environmental harm/pollution of air and water (Chapter 8 in the textbook)
  • Waste reduction (Chapter 8 in the textbook)
• Select one philosophical theory (utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics). Consider the following questions pertaining to the theory you have selected:
  • What does the theory tell us about how things operate in the real world?
  • What is the focus of the theory? That is, what aspects of everyday life (or what questions) does the theory address?

The focus (or questions) helps you think about the topical boundaries of the theory. This course is about ethics and social responsibility, so you should concentrate on the ethical and moral aspects of the theory and of the topic you are analyzing. It may help to think in terms of different realms or institutions. Does the theory help to explain people’s behavior from a political, economic, religious, or ethical perspective? Try to sort through everything that does not represent an ethical question, and address only the ethical issues.

• • How does the theory simplify complex issues to make them more understandable? Another way to think about this is to consider the elements or concepts that make up the theory. Identify the concepts and how they are related to each other.
• Develop one thesis question that applies your philosophical theory to your environmental issue. You will address this question in developing an argument that links the theory to the issue (through your notes and pictures), so make sure you word your question carefully to accomplish this task. Indicate this thesis question on your second slide (the one after the title slide).
• Next, develop an ethical argument that addresses your question. Use the text and/or look for academic sources to support your position. Build your argument by writing nine sentences. Each sentence should make one important point about the ethical aspects of the environmental issue you are analyzing and should be placed on one slide each.
• Underneath each slide you will also add presentation notes. Your notes should also make use of at least two academic sources and elaborate on the image and sentence in each slide.
  • Make sure your presentation focuses on ethical arguments and avoids personal opinion, arguments based on politics, economics, religion, or topics other than ethics.
• Find a photo to illustrate each slide, and post the photo on the slide above the sentence. Search the Internet for photos that are appropriate. Make sure the photos you use are not copyright protected; you should only use photos that are in the public domain. Also, make sure you cite the sources from which you retrieved your photos directly underneath the photo on each slide.

The slideshow should be 12 slides long; one slide for title page, one for the thesis question, nine slides for your arguments (i.e., main sentences) and notes, and one slide for your references. You should use at least two academic sources other than the textbook as references. All citations and references must be in the APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. This assignment must be submitted as a PowerPoint presentation. Other formats (i.e., PDF files, Word documents, etc.) are not acceptable. If you are unfamiliar with how to use PowerPoint, see: Basic tasks in PowerPoint 2010.

RESEARCH TOPIC

“ ???????”

1. WHAT

The Obama administration initiated ‘‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ making supplemental appropriations for job preservation and creation, infrastructure investment, energy efficiency and science, assistance to the unemployed, and State and local fiscal stabilization, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes. The study investigates the impact of this Stimulus Bill on the economic recovery on income or output and employment.

2. WHY

This provides a good exercise to apply the concept of IS-LM curve for an expansionary policy at the time of a great depression. This stimulus package generates consumption and investment, which create output and employment, and expedite economic recovery.

3. HOW

@ The use of diagrams clarifies the movement of IS-LM curves by the expansionary policy.

@ The use of equations is essential to understand monetary and fiscal policies

@ The use of empirical data and explanation to explain the policy impact.

@ Summary and Conclusion are required to finalize the term paper.

4. OTHER CONSIDERATION

If there is any additional information needed, please describe.

se the following Web site to search for studies: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/

How are the concepts of community and sustainability related?”

Public health professionals typically go into the profession in order to help others and affect social change. Community health assessments frequently reveal societal problems that underlie chronic disease or other public health problems.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Resources. Reflect on the relationship between public health, community health assessments, and social change. In addition, review the media titled Social Change Through Community Health Efforts. Based upon the information in the media, consider the ways in which community health assessments might have played a role in transforming the lives and communities of the individuals portrayed.

With these thoughts in mind:

 

Post 4 pages of an explanation of how community health assessments can influence social change. Then, explain how the community health assessment you developed in your Scholar-Practitioner Project might promote social change. Use the Resources and current literature to support your response.

Read the following scenario and answer the five questions that follow using APA style formatting where appropriate. Provide sufficient detail in your responses to demonstrate a good understanding of the material in the textbook regarding the philosophy of and management approach to community policing.

The Greenfield Police Department’s new mission statement emphasizes a community policing philosophy. The new chief has increased the authority and the responsibility of sergeants to identify and solve problems affecting the quality of life in Greenfield. You are the evening shift supervisor and have learned that the residents of the Senior Citizens Center are reluctant to venture out after dark. The Center is located in a low-crime neighborhood adjacent to a public park with walking paths. Evening walks in the park used to be a popular activity for the seniors, but no one uses the park now. The Center’s owner tells you the residents are worried about all the crime they see on the news and read about in the paper. They are also concerned about thefts from their cars in the parking lot. He says rumors of criminal activity spread quickly through the Center. The owner provides classes every month on how to avoid being a crime victim. He also installed new security doors and cameras.

You gather the officers on your shift to discuss the situation. They tell you there is no crime problem in the area of the Center. The crime statistics support the officers. There has been one car window broken in the Center’s parking lot during the last year, and a few kids have been told not to skateboard through the lot on their way to the park. An officer remarks that the kids dress rather oddly and sport some strange haircuts, but they’re good kids who stay out of trouble. Officers state that they patrol the area constantly and conduct frequent traffic enforcement on the street in front of the Center. They flash their red lights to make sure the residents see them in the area. The officers tell you the residents have exaggerated the problem.

Questions

• Is there a crime problem at the Senior Citizens’ Center?
• Is fear reduction a police problem?
• What are some possible causes of fear of crime at the Center?
• What is missing in the current community-police relationship between the Greenfield Police department and the senior citizens?
• Suggest a community policing strategy to reduce the fear of crime at the Senior Citizens’ Center.
