Your task with this semester project is to research a social
issue and determine whether the courts have weighed in on this issue. If they
have, you should then explore whether the case generated significant social,
legal, political and/or economic change. You should then explain how and why
(based on academic resources, your own opinion, or, ideally, both).

Your analysis should include a discussion of court cases.
When you discuss the case(s), please provide a brief summary of the case and an
explanation of why and how the case has (or has not) created social change. You
should also spend some time predicting the potential for the decision of the
court to galvanize meaningful, long-lasting social change.

You should also rely on academic sources for an analysis of
the cases and the social issue. When considering these academic sources, please
avoid simple summary of the findings of others. Instead, critically analyze
those opinions and ideas in the context of your own thesis.

Recommend appropriate changes based on your review of the plan. This is the only question that has to be answered for this assignment

We could go with the Rodeo theme for the change that the instructor is looking for. We can market them in flea markets, grocery stores, and places such as Rodeo’ s, horse racing, and livestock auctions. It is the official home page for the American Professional Rodeo Association (APRA). The APRA is based in Pennsylvania and sanctions rodeos throughout the northeast. Our cowboys and cowgirls compete in bareback riding, saddle bronco riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, and breakaway roping.
This is in the North East (US) market, which is a different location (area) for Cowgirl chocolates- the milk chocolates.

1. Analyze and evaluate Wordsworth’s view of childhood in “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey.”
2. Analyze the literary form of The Rape of the Lock as a mock epic. (Keep in mind that this work does not mock traditional epics.)
   1. Example: “‘The Rape of the Lock’ is a mock epic that relies on several epic conventions, including an invocation of the muse, elevated language, and supernatural creatures, to satirize the vanity of contemporary society.”
3. Analyze the Romantic characteristics in either Keats’s or Shelley’s poetry. Select 2–3 poems to use as evidence of your argument.

6. Does Coleridge’s presentation of religion in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” complement a biblical perspective? Why or why not?

1. Weak Topic: Addressing all of the qualities/characteristics of a period with little to no focus on the literature and without a specific or focused argument.

2. Strong Topic: Selecting characteristics that are relevant to a specific argument about the period and an author(s) and his/her work(s).

Final Paper – Analysis of Personal and Organizational Ethics and Values between For-Profit and Not-for-Profit Organizations

Scenario: You are an ethnographic researcher writing an article for a popular organizational behavior research journal. Your purpose is to identify key problems related to business ethics in a Not-for-Profit and For- Profit organization. In this potential article please complete the following activities: Outline the company profile of the not for profit company you chose to analyze (consult the week #2 journal for the information you should include).

Explain the ethical dilemma that it faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it responded to this ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social, or political outcomes that emerged after the actions were taken.. Outline the company profile of the for profit company you chose to analyze (consult the week #2 journal for the information you should include). Explain the ethical dilemma that it faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it responded to this ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social, or political outcomes that emerged after the actions were taken. In part three of your paper,

please provide your personal reflections on the ethical actions that were taken in relation to the problem. Evaluate those actions from your own ethical standpoint. Use these questions to inspire your analysis: Did the company respond in a morally responsible way? Did the company respond in a morally irresponsible way? Did the company create the ethical dilemma or was the dilemma the outcome of an unforeseen force? Could the company have done more? Who was responsible for the problem and how could it have been prevented? Remember that when you analyze something you should present logical reasoning and factual evidence to support your position.

Do not merely answer these questions using simplistic yes and no answers. Instead, you should always support your position with logical argumentation and evidence that explains why you believe what you believe. In part 4 of your paper please create a critique of the actions of these companies based on two of the philosophical theories that you studied earlier in the course (deontology, utilitarianism, egoism, virtue ethics, moral relativism). Determine which moral theory the company appears to be abiding by in relation to this issue.

Explain the attributes of the decision that make you believe that this is the ethical perspective of the company. If you agree with the ethical theory of the company, explain why this is the best ethical position on the issue. If you do not, explain which ethical position would be better to utilize in this situation and why you believe that this position is better. Here are some sample questions to guide your thinking: Which ethical theory did the company use in making its decision? Was it the best? Why or why not?

Which ethical theory should the company have used? Why? What is the ideal relationship between bad or suffering and profit? What does it mean to run an ethical business? What is the best way for a company to maintain its competitive edge and contribute to overall good or happiness in relation to its workers and customers?
