In this program, you will be conducting an applied research project. There are several key questions to consider in this type of research:

Why am I doing this research? (What is the need, problem, or opportunity?)
What is the goal of the research?
What research questions will guide my research (questions that I need to answer to reach this goal)?
What is known and unknown about this situation?
What information is needed and how will I gather it?
How do I incorporate key takeaways from the Merida et al. text including 1 Kings and 2 Kings?
Based on the project results, what are some potential suggestions or actions that need to be taken?
What is the best way to present/organize the report?
Answer the first, second, and sixth question above in bold in this discussion board forum. Cite references to back up your responses. For example, there may be some statistics that you can cite that would back up the need, problem, or opportunity you plan to explore.  It may be important to define the goal and define any key terms related to your goal. How will this information gathered from answering all of these questions help you in focusing your applied research project?

Environmental Justice

January 27, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Social Sciences

For this reflection, discuss how the narratives in Braiding Sweetgrass compare to, illustrate, diverge from the principles in one or more of the academic environmental justice readings we looked at in this class.

Grading Rubric Critical analysis (4pts) These reflections are an opportunity to make meaning of the concept of environmental justice within your own life and as a critical component of social justice work more. Be critical, be self-reflective, be imaginative, be creative, connect. Do not simply summarize the readings.

Overall clarity (4pts) You must engage with at least one of the readings each week. You must engage with the concepts of the course in some way. As much as this is an exercise in your own thought, you must clearly articulate these thoughts to others. I must be able to follow along with your ideas; thus, you need to consider how they flow together and are connected to one another. These are not just stream-of-consciousness pieces. They can, absolutely start out that way, but edit and refine them before you turn them in.

Case Study Assignment

January 27, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Other

The purpose of case studies is for you to use your critical thinking skills. Utilize the knowledge you have acquired from your other business classes as well as what you have currently learned in this Ethics class to analyze the business situation and answer the provided corresponding questions for each Case Study Assignment.  One of the objectives of these case studies is to prove your competency in the written form of communication.  Therefore, you must be thoughtful and thorough in your answers.  Simply listing your responses is unacceptable.  In addition, I expect proper grammar and punctuation to be used.  Consequently, it is in your best interest to proofread your work before submission.  Furthermore, answering case study questions with 1-2 sentences is not acceptable.  You need to clearly state your answers; form your opinion if asked; and be able to justify your answers.  Please refer to the rubric for further grading criteria. I highly encourage you to utilize supplementary sources in addition to your textbook. This will provide you a more thorough overview of the case study.  Regardless, if you decide to use sources outside your textbook or the textbook alone, please provide in-text citations and a reference page at the end.  Instructions for Case Study Assignments: For each assignment, you will have 1 case to read, analyze, and answer the provided corresponding questions.  To thoroughly answer the case questions, your assignment should be between 3-4 pages. Formatting Requirements: APA format, 12pt font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, with 1″ margins.  If you use sources outside your textbook, please provide in-text citations and a reference page at the end of your assignment.

Not All Companies Are Viewed as Equal

January 27, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Law

In the land of free trade, the public does not view all industries as equal. Do you believe that is ethical? Do you believe that some industries are unfairly targeted? Should it be consumers choice to partake in products that are not healthy for them, or do those companies have an ethical obligation to protect people?

In this assignment, you will choose one of the following industries to frame your paper:
    The pharmaceutical industry.
    The payday loan industry.
    Cloning for medical purposes.

Once youve gone through the worksheet and answered all the questions you will take that information and write your paper. It will basically be a transfer of information from the worksheet to a paper format.

Do not just turn in the worksheet. It will be sent back for a rewrite.
