In 2007 the Star Ledger newspaper told of a young man (unnamed for his own protection) in Newark who witnessed a murder while walking home one day.  It was a territorial drug dispute that didn’t even involve the murder victim who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The man who witnessed the murder recognized a couple of the assailants who also recognized him. He ran and wasn’t found until police discovered him during investigations.

He knew the right thing but he also knew he could put himself, his wife, and young child in danger. There are laws to protect witnesses in NJ but these laws are not always effective. Some witnesses to such murders had been murdered by gang members eager to protect themselves.

The man in the news article eventually agreed to testify when police promised to relocate him and his family to Puerto Rico.

For our discussions this week, answer the following questions and then interact with the postings of others.

1) Talk to another person you know about Kant’s moral principle of a categorical duty to never make yourself the exception to a duty you’d expect others to follow (the categorical imperative).  What does this person think about it?  Do either of you believe there is ever such a thing as an unquestionable moral duty and, if so, how would that apply to the murder witness in this case?  If you think a witness to such a murder would be right to say nothing, explain if and when it is ever justifiable to follow a duty that could seriously cost you personally.

2) From the article “How to be True to Your Word” (LINK (Links to an external site.)), https://experiencelife.com/article/how-to-be-true-to-your-word/       

 do you think the following statement about lying is true?  Share your thoughts: “We may think our lying is for a good reason: to keep from insulting or wounding someone we care about, to avoid our own discomfort, to smooth over conflict or to make someone happy.  Really, though, we most often lie to make our own reality more comfortable” (Cat Thompson, “How to be True to Your Word”, Experience Life, 2012).  What about the so-called “white lie”?  Is this kind of lie, sometimes called a pro-social lie, something morally justifiable as you see it, or not?

Using the ethical decision-making framework of the Moral-Based Reasoning Model for the case study provided. How does each component of the framework was put into action to resolve the dilemma in the case study. What is the resolution in the case study?

The components of the Moral-Based Reasoning Model is consist of:

1. Recognize the moral issue and determine that action is needed.

homework questions & discussion questions

chapter 2 question 13

I help with raising warranty close rates for my department at work. The goal is to teach the people in my department different strategies to close the sale on warranty. Schedule is one-hour meetings twice a week, until close rates go up, there is no cost. I am in the execution phase of project life cycle right now. This project does not have a baseline plan. Me and my director of the department oversee monitoring the progress of the project by keeping track of sales ratio and close rates. An unexpected circumstance could be that not enough people raise their close rates high enough and the project would fail in turn requiring us to hire new associates. Benefits of the project include higher close rates, more money on commission checks, and more profit for the company.

Work #1:

Actual work where 2 students given their post on this:

Discuss in 500 words or more the top 5 details that should be included in your cloud SLA.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0. 

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  

Work #2:

1) Identify and describe one of the financial measures of profitability, liquidity, efficiency, and leverage.

2) How can an analyst use one of these financial measures to evaluate the financial condition of a corporation?

In 1,500 words, describe the teaching experience and discuss your observations. The written portion of this assignment should include:

1. Summary of teaching plan – Poster presentation online to improve health literacy in teenagers
2. Epidemiological rationale for topic –  

It is estimated that one in three adults in the US have reduced health literacy. Additionally, minority populations, such as African Americans, have even greater percentages of persons lacking in health literacy. I reside in Texas where 19% of the population has low health literacy. The inability to read and understand health information is significantly correlated with reduced abilities to read and write. Furthermore, low health literacy costs the US billions of dollars each year. 

Nursing Diagnosis: Ineffective self-health management related to low health-literacy as evidenced by inability to show an understanding of a nursing care plan. 

1. Evaluation of teaching experience
2. Community response to teaching
3. Areas of strengths and areas of improvement

Consider the discussion questions below. Please begin a discussion about the benefits of hydration through “tap” water versus bottled water. Your initial comments must be at least a full solid paragraph for each question (over 50 words).  As always, be certain to respond to at least three postings of your classmates!

In the world of sports, hydration is king or queen.  The sports industry is fueled (literally) by mega-companies who spend billions of dollars to sell us an amazing fuel that stains life, heightens performance, prevents, fatigue, and helps us regulate our own body temperatures.  That’s right:  we’re talking about water!  However, in the hands of a few nutritionists and some clever marketing people, we have been duped!  We buy more water in containers than ever and we demand that the water be infused with “extras” of all kinds so we can “be better.”  Is this truly necessary?  Is bottled water/sports beverages that much better for you or are we all just victims of our own vanity?  Please respond with your opinion on this topic.  Cheers!
