Competitor Analysis TablePreview the document

The student will synthesize the information from the demographic analysis, five forces analysis, and the competitor analysis into a cohesive narrative of the external environment in which the healthcare department operates.

Note: The competitor analysis (table) length will depend on the number of competitors within the healthcare departments service area. It is anticipated that this table will be between 3 and 4 pages in length. The narrative synthesis, which includes key components from the demographic analysis, five forces analysis, and competitor analysis will be between 4 to 5 pages in length and contain substantive content. Simply copying and pasting all or portions of previous submissions into a singular document WILL NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. Rather, the student is to create a cohesive submission where the content from the various analyses are integrated in a fashion which creates a unified document

The purpose of these assignments is to encourage you to evaluate current ethical issues and decisions affecting the field of education; thus, the news articles that you choose must address either a situation in which Biblical and ethical principles were breached or a situation in which Biblical and/or ethical principles were highlighted by the media. Your essays must be critical reviews of the articles; once you have briefly summarized the article, your review must focus on your own opinion regarding the article.

Your essay must be brief (1/2-page to 1-page, double-spaced). In the essay:
1.    Summarize the article in order to demonstrate your comprehension of the content.
2.    Identify key elements discussed in the article and relate those elements to concepts from the course.
3.    Discuss whether the situation described in the article implements any of the concepts discussed in the course or if there are possible ways that concepts from the course could be implemented.

ETHICAL ANALYSIS PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Starting on Monday of Module 2: Week 2, begin making notes of the following:

1.    Specific situations at your job in which decision-making was or was not based on ethical principles,
2.    Your participation in or response to the situation,
3.    Whether or not you think the situation was handled correctly, and
4.    Suggestions for how the situation could be better addressed in the future. Provide a plan for handling situations in the future.

Keep track of the specific days, times, and circumstances surrounding the situations in question. Continue to record this information until Friday of Module 2: Week 2.

At the end of the week, use your journal notes to write a 56-page Ethical Analysis Paper. Include anecdotal information and critical analyses of the situations, including implications of events for self, students, and coworkers. Based on items 3 and 4 above, create a plan for personal growth with future goals and/or a plan of action for the future. In order to respect the privacy of others, refrain from including names or other identifying information. Format the paper in correct and current APA style.

CHOOSE ONE, AND ONLY ONE, OF THE QUESTIONS BELOW, AND RESPOND WITH AN INTELLIGENTLY-CRAFTED ESSAY, BEING SURE TO INCLUDE PLENTY OF SPECIFICS TO SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT. ONE FULL PAGE IS THE BARE MINIMUM EXPECTATION — YOU REALLY OUGHT TO WRITE MORE THAN A SINGLE PAGE.  AND REMEMBER, A COLLEGE-LEVEL SOCIAL SCIENCE ESSAY CONSISTS OF THREE PARTS: AN INTRODUCTION (ONE PARAGRAPH; A BODY (AT LEAST ONE PARAGRAPH, USUALLY MORE); AND A CONCLUSION (ONE PARAGRAPH).  SO THIS MEANS THAT YOUR ESSAY MUST CONSIST OF NO FEWER THAN THREE PARAGRAPHS.  WITH THIS IN MIND, TWO-PARAGRAPH ESSAYS WILL HAVE 10 POINTS DEDUCTED IMMEDIATELY, AND ONE-PARAGRAPH ESSAYS WILL RECEIVE A GRADE OF “ZERO.”  LET’S DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY!  NOW, CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. Read in our textbook on pages 228-234 about the case of Texas v. Johnson.  Write an essay in which you summarize the issues involved in the case, the arguments of both the plaintiff and the defendant, and the legal arguments and logic used by both the majority of the Supreme Court as well as the minority.  What is your opinion?  Which side made the more persuasive argument, and why?  Finally, why did the congressional sponsors of the “Flag Protection Act of 1989” believe their new law would be upheld as constitutional, in contrast to the Texas state law concerning flag desecration? Were the two laws really so different?  Be sure to explain fully.

-OR-

2. Read in our textbook on pages 248-253 about the case of Snyder v. Phelps.  Write an essay in which you summarize the issues involved in the case, the arguments of both the plaintiff and the defendant, and the legal arguments and logic used by both the majority of the Supreme Court as well as the minority.  What about the idea that it was Mr. Snyder’s First Amendment rights — in particular, his right free exercise of religion — that was really at the heart of the matter?  Did the Supreme Court go too far in this case?  Is the lone dissenter, Justice Alito, perhaps correct?  What is your opinion?  Is this hate speech that perhaps should not be protected?  How do the actions of the Westboro congregation differ, if at all, from those of the KKK or other hate groups whose rights to protest have been protected?

-OR-

3.  As discussed in the PowerPoint slide, you may want an opportunity to pine in on the whole Boy Scout issue covered on pages 286-291.  There is a lot condensed into those legal arguments, and Box 5-7 on page 291 has the interesting follow-up to the whole controversy.  Parse the arguments made by both sides.  Why is this a First Amendment issue — how does this fall under the category of Free Association, and did the majority make sense to you in citing the earlier case of Roberts v. United States Jaycees — how was that situation similar and applicable to this one?  How might it be different?  In the 5-4 decision, you can also see a clear ideological division among the justices.  In making their majority and dissenting opinions, were the justices making a fair and unbiased interpretation, or were their personal ideologies overcoming common constitutional sense?  And what do you make of the follow-up covered in Box 5-7?

-OR-

4.  The topic of this essay question is “Prior Restraint and the Press,” focusing on — but not necessarily limited to — the student press of public schools.  Read in our textbook on pages 304-309 about the case of Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier.  Write an essay in which you address the question seen on page 304, which is repeated here: “What importance do the justices place on the fact that the newspaper was run by students? Does the case have any implications beyond the student press?  Is the case an isolated exception, or does it significantly dilute the prior restraint doctrine that the justices have supported since the Near decision?” You are expected to consult other cases found in the chapter and make note of them in your essay, in order to support your argument.

Please read the case DCS Sanitation Management v. Eloy Castillo (and supporting notes

Once you have read and reviewed the case scenario, respond to the following questions:

Discuss the legal implications for employers and employees for requiring employees to sign noncompete agreements. What factors did the court consider in making its decision? Compare and contrast Ohio and Nebraska’s positions on noncompete clauses.
Which states laws support ethical reasoning in the resolution of this case?
Your response should be a minimum of two pages in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA style citations
