Discussion 2: What Would You Like to Explore?
Is there a topic or idea that has been on your mind that you are thinking about for your dissertation or doctoral study? Is there a problem in your work or social sphere that you feel compelled to understand and act upon? Have you read a story or viewed a documentary and thought I could do something like that?
These are just a few of the ways Walden students become inspired to choose what they would like to study for their dissertation or doctoral study.
Once you have watched this weeks Scholar of Change video, you have the opportunity to reflect on how that student merged their academic studies with their passion for making a difference. In this Discussion, you have an opportunity to start that journey, to consider a topic you would like to explore.
For this Discussion, you will explore topics in your discipline of interest to you that you want to research using a qualitative approach.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Learning Resources related to qualitative research.
Consider a topic in your discipline that is of interest to you. This could come from a prior course or something from your work or personal setting for which you have a passion.
By Day 4
Based on your initial understanding of qualitative research, post a description of the topic you chose in terms of how it could be conceptualized as a qualitative study. Include:
What is the phenomenon of interest?
What experiences or contextual issues might influence how this phenomenon could be studied?
In what setting(s) could a topic like this be explored?
What connection do you have to this topic, and why do you think it is important to explore this as a qualitative study?
What possibilities could the results of this research have for social change?
Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the weeks Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
By Day 6
Respond to one of your colleagues posts and provide additional insight as to what other opportunities your colleague might want to explore further in their research.
Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Then, repost under your first post your reflections on your choice of topic. Would you like to adjust, re-direct, or start over?

Choose a current news item from a newspaper, magazine, Internet site, radio, or television. State the title, source, and topic of the article/story. Your paper must have three sections:
1. In at least one paragraph, clearly identify the ethical issue and provide an explanation of the issue. You may need to provide background information, situational information, examples, research, etc. in order to properly explain the ethical issue. You are also required to include a thesis statement in this first paragraph since this is a persuasive paper. A thesis statement should present the topic of your paper and you should also state your position in relation to that topic. Your argument should be persuasive so your readers want to read what you have to say.
2. Give a minimum of two proposed solutions to the ethical issue.
3. State which solution you believe is most ethical, with reference to an ethical theory.
In addition, prepare to present your article/topic in class and lead a discussion of the subject.
Attach a copy or web link for your article to your paper.
Paper should be a minimum of one page in length.
For this week, I want you to analyse Olaudah Equiano’s narrative using the readings and the class material (the lecture, the youtube video and the podcast) to answer some of these questions. Here are some specific questions to guide you:
1. Who is the author? What is his background? Give me a short summary of the narrative (no more than 6-8 sentences). When was the narrative written?
2. What does the timeline of the publication of this narrative tell us about who it was addressed to? Who is the intended audience? What is the author’s goal in writing this narrative?
3. What can we learn about various forms of slavery from this narrative? How is chattel slavery in the Atlantic different from other forms of slavery that already existed? How does Olaudah Equiano’s experience reflect these differences? Please use specific examples and cite from his narrative.
4. What are some of the justifications that Europeans had for chattel slavery? What were some of the historical circumstances that led to the rise of this form of slavery (e.g., economic, religious)?
5. What are some of the effects of chattel slavery during the 15th-17th century in the Americas and Africa? What are related effects that we can see in the world today?
The above are a few detailed questions to get you started. Feel free to add anything you find in the narrative to interpret how we think about history and the Atlantic slave trade.

Assessment Instructions
In this assessment you will complete a program to demonstrate the learning competency skills for your selected language path.
Using the language C#, please complete the following assessment:
In this hypothetical scenario, you will create a program that will allow a student to register for certification classes in HVAC. The school offers a $150 discount if the student signs up for twenty or more unit-hours. Students may also pay the tuition costs over a twelve-month period.
Assessment Requirements
Your program should declare variables using the appropriate data types to store the following string values.
Name: John Smith
Address: 101 N. Main Street
City: AnyTown
State: TX
Units Taken: 19
For the price per unit, declare a constant numeric variable to contain the decimal value 100.50.
For the twenty unit-hour discount, declare a constant numeric variable to contain the whole number 150.
Convert the string value for Units Taken to an integer data type andplace the converted numeric value into a separate numeric variable.
Hint: Use the same name but add the prefix int such as intUnitsTaken.
Using the increment operator, increment the variable above by 1 so that the value 19 will now be 20.
Multiply the constant variable for price per unit by the units taken and place the answer in a variable named tuition.
Subtract the constant discount value from tuition and store the answer in a variable named afterDiscount.
Divide the discounted tuition by 12 and store the answer in a variable named monthlyPayment.
Finally, your program will display the following data using the respective variables for each item:
Name
Address
City
State
Zip Code
Number of units taken (numeric value that was incremented)
Tuition before discount
Tuition after discount
Monthly Payment
Include labels for each item as shown in expected output. Format the tuition values and monthly payment as currency.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Name: John Smith
Address: 101 N. Main Street
City: Anytown

Instructions:
For this weeks assignment, you will be preparing a written essay using APA format. Refer to the APA resources provided in the classroom and in our online library for formatting questions. Be sure to review the feedback from your previous assignments. Your essay should be 2 4 pages of written content, along with a properly formatted title page and reference page. An abstract should not be included. The content for your essay is described below.
Choosing a professional organization focused on a specific segment of the hospitality industry that you are interested in (American Hotel & Lodging Association, National Restaurant Association, ARAMARK, and Compass Group are examples), describe and assess their role and influence within the industry segment.
For the writing assignment, discuss who the group is, their roots, how they influence the industry, and analyze their role in reacting to or preventing a specific issue related to the industry. An example would be how the AH&LA has been engaged with immigration reform or minimum wage or how ARAMARK is incorporating “green” business practices to reduce environmental harm.
Use the schools online library to conduct further research on this issue. Your essay should outline how this issue came to be important to the industry, what the organization recommends as far as this legislative issue and why, and how this issue has impacted the industry.
Be sure that you clearly define the issue, using a clear thesis statement. A thesis statement basically states what you are proving in the essay. Develop the issue within your essay and include a concluding paragraph. All the supporting resources within the essay should add support to that thesis statement.
