“The Budget” Please respond to the following:
Thomson uses the example of the violinist to argue that abortions are sometimes morally permissible, specifically in cases of pregnancies due to rape. One major premise of her argument is the assumption that the violinist is analogous in all morally relevant ways to pregnancies due to rape. This is perhaps the most controversial premise in her argument, as there are several differences between the violinist case and pregnancies due to rape, differences that some have thought are also morally relevant.
If you choose to write on this prompt, complete the Expository Task for it, or specifically:
First: Explain Thomsons argument, based on the example of the violinist, for the conclusion that abortion is morally permissible in pregnancies due to rape.
Second, brainstorm one (or two maximum!) difference between the violinist case and pregnancies due to rape that you think could potentially be a morally relevant difference. Describe the difference you have in mind and explain the reasoning behind thinking that this difference could be morally relevant and thus undermine Thomsons argument.
You are also required to post a response to a minimum of two other students in the class.
You must use at least one scholarly resource.
Every discussion posting must be properly APA formatted.
Your initial response is due by Thursday of each week of the course and you must respond to a minimum of two other learners during the week.
Your responses to other students must be more than a simple “Good job” or “I agree with your post”. They must also not just be “Let me add to your post…” Instead, your responses to each other should do three things:
1. Acknowledge the other student’s post with some form of recognition about what they posted
2. Relate their posting to something you have learned or are familiar with
3. Add to the conversation by asking additional questions about their post, or discussing their topic further
Remember, this is a discussion forum. Your engagement with each other should be similar to how you would speak with each other if you were seated at the same table talking. Plagiarism in the discussion will not be tolerated.

Analyze a companys financial position and business risks relative to an audit.
Youve just left an all-hands meeting at your company*. The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects a major indicator that the companys internal information system has failed to meet its needs. Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea. This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C-suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive: 1. Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business. 2. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured. 3. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better. 4. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost. The executives are busy, so keep your memo to 1-4 pages and avoid any extraneous content
