2. Leadership report

Leader coaches aim to make an organization more efficient. A consultancy report is a document that outlines a process of evaluation and recommendations for organizations to cut costs and improve production. The reports are often focused on a specialized area, such as inventory management, organizational restructuring, efficiency studies; or industry, such as health care or communications. This week, you will create a consultancy report based on an evaluation of an organization that you are familiar with.

Instructions

Based on the research you have conducted in the course and the organization you chose in Week 4, create a consultancy report. Considering your chosen organization, perform an analysis that identifies areas of concern. Your consultancy report must include your analysis findings, identified concerns and/or weaknesses, your recommendations, and a proposed action plan.

Support your report with at least seven scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Your report should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current format standards.

3. Leadership Analysis

Lately, business analysts have appeared in popular literature. A quantitative analysis can be a part of your data gathering, though having the ability to solicit information, appropriate data, and read reports to identify business areas can assist in the foundation of problem solving. Having the right information can assist a leader in constructing an action plan to correct any weaknesses or deficiencies.

Instructions

Identify an organization that you will use for this assignment and your final project. For this week’s assignment, assume you were asked to speak at this organization’s next leadership meeting about research analysis methods. Begin by conducting research on business analytics, SWOT, and needs analysis. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that evaluates the processes so that your audience realizes the benefits of each.

Then, use your research and evaluation of the processes to evaluate the internal and external environment for strengths and gaps that may influence the organization’s productivity. Based on your research, create a process for identifying areas of concern and for addressing these in an action plan. Include appropriate tables, graphs, and flowcharts to show the process and your findings within your presentation.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Support your presentation with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide

Electronic Medical Record Brochure

You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed. Three Mountains was recently in the news after employee emails were published where patients were discussed in very negative terms.

Due to the breach of information, many patients are skeptical about selecting Three Mountains as their hospital of choice. Even though specific names of patients were not disclosed as part of the inappropriate dissemination of information, parts of their medical records were mentioned. The patient information was not shared in a favorable light. Patients want to feel secure when they share information with their healthcare providers and be certain that it will remain private.

You have to demonstrate a strong link between the technology in the e-supply chain coordination and how can a company/businesses use it to compete in this environment.

Case study Assignment

OpenTable is the leading supplier of reservation, table management, and guest management software for restaurants. In addition, the company operates OpenTable.com, the world’s most popular Web site for making restaurant reservations online. In just over 15 years, OpenTable has gone from a start-up to a successful and growing public company that counts around two-thirds of the nation’s reservation-taking restaurants as clients. Today, more than 32,000 restaurants in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan use the OpenTable hardware and software system. This system automates the reservation-taking and table management process, while allowing restaurants to build diner databases for improved guest recognition and targeted e-mail marketing. The OpenTable Web site, mobile site, and mobile app provide a fast, efficient way for diners to find available tables in real time. The Web sites and app connect directly to the thousands of computerized reservation systems at OpenTable restaurants, and reservations are immediately recorded in a restaurant’s electronic reservation book. © Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Restaurants subscribe to the OpenTable Electronic Reservation Book (ERB), the company’s proprietary software, which is installed on a touch-screen computer system and supported by asset-protection and security tools. The ERB software provides a real-time map of the restaurant floor and enables the restaurant to retain meal patterns of all parties, serving as a customer relationship management (CRM) system for restaurants. The software is upgraded periodically, and the latest version is designed to provide increased ease of use and a more thorough view of table availability to help turn more tables, enhance guest service, personalize responses to diners, coordinate the seating process, and maximize guest seating. The ERBs at OpenTable’s customer restaurants connect via the Internet to form an online network of restaurant reservation books. OpenTable’s revenue comes from two sources. Restaurants pay a one-time fee for on-site installation and training, a monthly subscription fee for software and hardware, and a transaction fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations. The online reservation service is free to diners. The business model encourages diners to assist in viral marketing. When an individual makes a reservation, the site “suggests” that they send invites to their dinner companions directly from OpenTable that include a link back to the OpenTable site. OpenTable is a service-based (software as service, or SaaS) e-commerce company. In other words, customers don’t buy software and install it on their computers, but instead go online and get the software functionality through subscriptions. OpenTable is also an online service that does not sell goods, but instead enables diners to make reservations, like social networking sites provide services. The restaurant industry was slow to leverage the power of the Internet. This was in part because the industry was, and continues to be, highly fragmented and local—made up of more than 30,000 small, independent businesses or local restaurant-owning groups. The founders of OpenTable knew that dealing with these restaurants as a single market would be difficult. They also realized that the Internet was changing things for diners by providing them with instant access to reviews, menus, and other information about dining options. And there was no method for making reservations online—we all know reserving by phone is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to errors. In order to make the system work, reach and scale were very important. For diners to use an online reservation system, they would need real-time access to a number of local restaurants, and the ability to instantly book confirmed reservations around the clock. If customers were planning a trip to another city, OpenTable would need participating restaurants in those cities. The company was originally incorporated in San Francisco in 1998 as Easyeats.com, morphing into OpenTable.com, Inc. a year later. When the company was founded, most restaurants did not have computers, let alone systems that would allow online reservations made through a central Web site. OpenTable’s initial strategy was to pay online restaurant reviewers for links to its Web site and target national chains in order to quickly expand its reach. This got the company into 50 cities, but it was spending $1 million a month and bringing in only $100,000 in revenue. Not exactly a formula for success. The original investors still felt there was a viable business to be built, and they made a number of management changes, including installing investor and board member Thomas Layton, founder of CitySearch.com, as OpenTable’s CEO. Layton cut staff, shut down marketing efforts, and got the company out of all but four cities: Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. The company retooled its hardware and software to create the user-friendly ERB system and deployed a door-to-door sales force to solicit subscriptions from high-end restaurants. The combination of e-commerce, user-friendly technology, and the personal touch worked. The four markets OpenTable targeted initially developed into active, local networks of restaurants and diners that continue to grow. OpenTable has implemented the same strategy across the country, and now includes approximately 32,000 OpenTable restaurant customers. In 17 years, the company has seated approximately 885 million diners, including 245 million via its mobile solutions, and it is currently averaging 17 million diners per month. In the second quarter of 2015, half of its seating requests in North America originated from a mobile device. As the company grew, investors began making plans for it to go public. Layton stepped down from his position as CEO in 2007, though he remained a board member. He was replaced by Jeffrey Jordan, former president of PayPal. Jordan had some experience with public companies from working with eBay on its acquisition of PayPal. In 2009, he chose an aggressive strategy—going ahead with an initial public offering (IPO) despite a terrible economy and worse financial markets. The gamble paid off. On its first day of trading, OpenTable’s shares climbed 59% and the share price climbed to over $100 in 2013, more than five times the $20 IPO price. Despite the challenging economy, OpenTable’s numbers at the time of the IPO were strong, and since then, it has continued to grow. In 2014, Priceline announced that it would acquire OpenTable for $2.6 billion. Priceline had long been rumored to be interested in OpenTable. OpenTable will benefit from Priceline’s global reach as it continues to expand its business beyond the United States, which has thus far accounted for about 80% of its revenues. Priceline has a strong track record of successful acquisitions, including Booking.com, which propelled Priceline’s revenue from the millions to the billions. Clearly, Priceline believes OpenTable can help it grow even further, this time into restaurant reservations. They might be right: OpenTable is well-positioned for future growth. Its size, track record of growth, and high customer satisfaction rates should continue to work in its favor. Priceline plans to allow OpenTable to operate autonomously. The company has benefited from having e-commerce revenue streams from subscription fees and per-transaction charges, rather than depending on advertising. Further, more than 50% of OpenTable’s revenue comes from B2B subscriptions, which are typically part of long-term contracts. Restaurants that have invested in OpenTable’s software package are less likely to want to incur the switching costs associated with changing to a different reservation management package. Another reason for its success is that OpenTable has a large number of satisfied customers. Restaurant owners report that they and their staff members find the software easy to use, and it helps them manage their business better. Specifically, it streamlines operations, helps fill additional seats, and improves quality of service, providing a concrete return on investment. This has led to both high customer satisfaction and high retention rates. OpenTable has also taken advantage of the interconnected needs of restaurants and diners. Restaurants want cost-effective ways to attract guests and manage their reservations, while diners want convenient ways to find available restaurants, choose among them, and make reservations. By creating an online network of restaurants and diners that transact with each other through real-time reservations, OpenTable has figured out how to successfully address the needs of both. OpenTable’s market exhibits network effects: the more people use it, the more utility the system delivers. More diners discover the benefits of using the online reservation system, which in turn delivers value to restaurant customers, and helps attract more restaurants to the network. While OpenTable is the biggest, most successful online player in the restaurant reservations market, it does have competitors. MenuPages offers access to restaurant menus and reviews, but visitors to the site can’t make reservations, and the site covers only eight U.S. cities. In 2012, OpenTable partnered with onetime competitor Urbanspoon, acquiring its reservation management system, Rezbook, and becoming Urbanspoon’s reservation provider. Looming on the horizon is Google, which purchased online restaurant guide Zagat in September 2011, raising the specter that it might try to compete with OpenTable, although Zagat does not yet possess that functionality. Competitors in other countries where OpenTable does not yet operate, such as Restalo in Spain and Italy, and in markets like casual dining, such as NoWait, represent challenges to OpenTable. India-based startup Zomato acquired U.S.-based NexTable in 2015, adding another challenger to the mix. The company is committed to shrewd technological investments to advance its position. It has a mobile Web site, mobile applications that work on just about every smartphone platform, and an iPad app that fully integrates with its ERB software. GPS enables mobile users to locate and make reservations at nearby venues. In 2015, OpenTable launched a version of its app for Apple Watch that reminds diners of their reservations, provides directions, and shows a countdown. It is also testing a premium service that involves paying for an additional fee for last-minute, prime-time reservations at popular restaurants, using a surge pricing algorithm similar to that used by Uber. OpenTable is attempting to shift its relationship with both diners and restaurants from a “transactional” relationship to an “experiential” relationship, which focuses on the experience of dining. OpenTable launched a payments feature that allows users to pay for meals completely within the OpenTable app on the iPhone, and in 2015 made this feature available for Android phones as well. Although a small number of restaurants currently offer the service, OpenTable is partnering with other mobile payment systems like Aloha to widen their mobile payment availability. OpenTable also redesigned its flagship Web site in 2014 to improve visual appeal and speed, and continued to update its image in 2015 with a complete rebranding, including a new logo and tagline and a marketing campaign, 100 Open Tables, featuring giveaways of iconic dining experiences around the world. OpenTable’s growth is projected to continue in the United States, Canada, and Mexico despite considerable market penetration. Selective international expansion is planned beyond its current operations in Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. OpenTable supports each of these locations with a direct sales force servicing approximately 1,000 restaurants. The company’s international strategy is to replicate the successful U.S. model by focusing initially on building a restaurant customer base. OpenTable believes the localized versions of its software will compare favorably against competitive software offerings, enabling them to expand across a broad selection of local restaurants.

Case Study Questions Why have OpenTable competitors had a difficult time competing against OpenTable? What characteristics of the restaurant market make it difficult for a reservation system to work? How did OpenTable change its marketing strategy to succeed? Why would restaurants find the SaaS model very attractive?

5 pages, double-spaced w separate reference page

Topic is”a profile on a company named Span Inc that provides support for new release prisoners” do need you to NOT write a kind of simple company report like one might do for a business class, where you look at profits and marketing plans and competition, etc.

Instead, I need you to humanize the topic–is there anyway for you to observe or report on how they interact with new release prisoners,by maybe taking an example (that sounds awful but what I mean is focus on one person or several people who are going to be released) and what obstacles they typically face, and how Span tries to assist them with these obstacles.

If you look at the post from Friday on the heroin addict: Bebinger, M. (2015, Sept. 25) After seven overdoses, Joey searches for a reason why he’s still here. WBUR CommonHealth. Retrieved from http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2015/09/joey-heroin-addiction-battle

This is kind of what I mean. Joey is the topic but he is meant to humanize the larger group/condition of addiction and what ‘typical’ obstacles they face.

Due to confidentiality I could understand why profiling people about to be released is problematic for you, but again I do want you to think of some way to get at the WHO and the WHY of this topic rather than a simple profile of the company.

Another thought, in profiling the company, and if you can’t really profile the prisoners themselves due to confidentiality, maybe you can profile one of the counselors who work with prisoners and that person (who again presents the larger topic of what this company tries to do) could tell you about the typical obstacles that s/he faces and that her clients/prisoners face as they try to reintegrate prisoners into society.

For example, I’d think women prisoners face unique challenges that perhaps male prisoners (without children) face? But I don’t know. That’s what your profile of this GROUP of people (prisoners being released) would show via the interview and observations of the company (and perhaps an employee/counselor who helps prisoners) would show.

A Profile Essay informs readers, provides insight, and uses vivid details about a subject. Unlike an essay based on experiences of its writer told in the first person, a profile offers the reader better understanding of an outside subject. This assignment presents subject matter for a specific audience and purpose and will lead you to identify main ideas, supporting evidence, and conclusions. It will also provide practice in form, organization, syntax, diction, style, and tone, while reinforcing that writing is a process requiring substantive revision.

Analyze the effectiveness of social media in the selling of banking services and products.

Social media is one of the most powerful networking platforms in the business world today. The use of this has been constantly increasing throughout the years as more people believe in its potential and it has proven to serve many purposes. According to Prodanova et al. (2015) the attributes that attract clients towards m-banking channels such as simplicity, practicality, rapidity of services, and modernity. Furthermore, comfort, accessibility, security, privacy, independence, continuity of service, full operation ability, charges are among the essential functional aspects that clients value. Both modern and traditional companies have indulged in the use of this platform due to its effective process of enhancing customer service as it enables a more personal relationship with individuals. The banking sector, being one of the most important entities in the current world, rely heavily on customer service due to its necessity in offering faster support, attention, information about the novelties and their selling product. The aim of this research study is to determine whether banks are achieving an optimal outcome with the use of social media.

Study Purpose

The study aims are to determine if banks are making optimal use of networks, differences between the primary entities in the use of their systems, details such as security, treatment, their use of business opportunities on the part of the banking entity. The purpose of this study is to pick up the definite idea of the use of this social networks within the most important banking entities in Spain and to create the ideal prototype of care using social media networks.

It will be in the best interest to pursue the topic through comparison between the significant banking entities and the use they give social media, how they direct themselves towards their customers, the treatment customers receive if there are existing ways of getting products without having to go to the banking branch. On the other hand, how the client feels when he’s getting the customer service through these social media platforms and, if he or she would prefer a conversation through the mobile phone if this generates distrust or trust, dependency or reliance, confidence or fear, security, or insecurity, and convenience or inconvenience.

Significance of the Study

Communication studies cover issues of human interaction with other individuals as well as institutions around them on various topics. This topic fits within the communications field as social media allows banks to connect with their customers in a completely different manner. Social media marketing throughout Facebook, game app, Twitter, and Instagram are becoming a convenient channel for retail customer interaction. According to Miranda (2013) in recent times, the online user-generated content through online social media networks has grown intensively. Collaborative projects, content communities, virtual game worlds, social networking sites, virtual social worlds, as well as blogs and microblogs are part of the social media technologies that are flourishing even in the global financial sector.

Prodanova et al. (2015) opine that currently balance checks, money transfer, ticket purchase, bill/tax payment, and hire mobile alert systems are performed through m-banking, hence the future is likely to have internet banking taking over the banking activities. This means that studying relevance, trends, and role of social media platforms becomes an important move the organizations could consider if they’ve to remain competent and relevant in business. Furthermore, it helps in the building of literature in business as an academic field so that the future scholars can explore It deeper and accrue relevant information.

Torres-Toukoumidis & Marín-Mateos (2017) mention that the 2015 National Institute of Statistics found out that 96.5 percent of the Spanish community own mobile phones, from which 22.7 percent use the internet in activities linked to bank accounts management. Similarly, Ditrenia’s study of 2015 indicated that fifteen million people in Spain have embraced mobile banking usage in control of their finances. With such findings, there is a forecast that by 2020 eighty percent of smartphone activities shall be on the banking market. Case studies

At the moment banks like Caixabank initiated digital platforms like Blackberry’s Apple World, Android Market, and AppleStore for financial service distribution in transfers, management of accounts, checking of balance sheets, customer service, and agency location in 2009. Afterwards, BBVA pioneered mobile payment application came out and enhanced bank management, consultation. The trend here shows that almost all banking institutions are utilizing digital and social media current trends in uplifting their business, innovatively running their affairs, acquiring clients, and expanding.

Objectives

The study objectives are to:

Determine the client’s profile that utilizes social media to contact with bank entities.
Evaluate the effectiveness of social media in the selling of banking services and products.
Determine the level of satisfaction of clients who use social media to contact their bank.
Establish the limitations found in the use of social media.
Compare the most known bank entities, choosing the best of each to create the customer service for the social media use.

The attainment of the above objectives in the study project call upon an analysis and comparison of prominent bank entities in Spain. Such banks include BBVA, Caixa, Santander bank through which data on social media usage, personalized use processes, customer service and commercial talks/information will guide the study.

Comparative analysis of Spanish Banks

Santander Bank utilizes social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google plus banco to seek customer satisfaction, incidents, complaints, brand experience (Santander Bank, n.d.). The social media applications have enabled them to serve diverse clients such as institutions, universities, corporations, and private banking clients, as well as individual clients. Furthermore, through the platform, they offer financial education, show their channels and accessibility. BBVA, on the other hand, responds to comments in their twitter, Facebook, online forums, and blogs through a communication system that has improved its feedback to more positive comments and less negative feedback by 1.5 percent (Wamba et al., 2016). The IBM analytical systems analyze brand perception, create delighted clients, establish prospects of making new clients and monitor their activities to retain them.

According to BBVA, Creating opportunities (2017) since the transformation towards a digital ecosystem in 2016, BBVA has managed to have a unique customer experience, a new quality model that offers real-time customer feedback, rapid identification and implementation of improvement opportunities and increased functionalities. The company’s improvement and enhancement of mobile banking applications in Chile and Colombia have doubled sales, which were1.4 million products sales and a 60% increase customers’ interaction volume in 2016. In 2017, the increased distribution models, and physical network efficiency emerged in its other branches too. BBVA (2015) notes that there is a comprehensive account of how BBVA Bank in Spain has reinvented itself into a digital age institution and the benefits accrued. The document reviews the new multinationals, future business models, talent and cultural innovation and leadership. Though the BBVA (2015), it is possible to learn how electronic technologies work and its role in the future business.

Finally, Caixabank, which is the first bank in Spain is known for installing the digital focus through electronic transactions, and about 55 percent internet and mobile channels. It is the leading Spanish bank with the international acquisition, and a 15 % market accessibility, value creation as well stock market accessibility and at least 13.6 million clients within its business model. The bank offers crowdsourcing platforms through which they receive client ideas, online banking since 2009 with an active mobile and online base (CaixaBank, 2014). The platforms have maintained clients and given a high rating reputation to the bank. All the three banks have had a successful creation of digital databases, a lot of people now stock through their platforms, the implementation took off making them digital transformation leaders (Quesada, 2016). The use of digital has attracted a lot of talent and great entrepreneurs culture.

Theoretical framework

Given that the study is focusing on the social media platform, its usage among the clients, and related issues, the suitable prism to apply is social media theory. According to Kaplan & Heinlein (2010), the social media theory, social factor evaluates the level of presence of a media through the aspects of physical, acoustic, or visual contact. Intimacy and immediacy influence it making it highly or lowly present. Similarly, there are the tenets of media richness that assumes that communication can resolve ambiguity and reduce uncertainty due to the differing degree of richness they contain at a given time. It will be possible to answer how social media impact the brand value a company in this day and age.

Methodology

Research Design

The study methodology will be both qualitative and quantitative; that is a mixed approach to determine the relevance of social media platforms in the banking sector. The usage of social media platforms will be considered as a focal component that will enhance the examination of forms, the relevance of social media, and its usage in the current banking and overall business world.

Research Instrument

The study instrument will be a questionnaire that contains about ten validated questions, which focus on diverse ages of clients and from three Spanish different banks namely; Caixabank, BBVA, and Santander. The questions on the variables and research questions will have a Likert Scale measuring 1-5 with Always 5 Often 4 Not aware 3 Sometimes 2 Never 1. Its evaluation will enhance efficient and quick coding and analysis on the computer excel and other functional programs. The questionnaire will have items that will inquire about whether the customers utilize social media, the time they contact social media in the banking services and products, and satisfaction level. It also assesses if they would use social media again for this use, their attitude towards wait time and the process to be followed in the usage of the platform, and reasons behind clients entry into the social media. Then there is the most used social media platform applied in the banking services and products, the thought about social media and its continuity. These are the type of questions that the study will be asking the questionnaire. Consider the attached survey in Appendix 1.

Validity and Reliability of Data

To test validity and reliability, there will be interviews with the Public relations personnel or managers of the three selected Spanish banks that will serve it ascertaining the truth, reliability, and dependability of the information gathered from customers. Similarly, it will be significant to evaluate the ads and brochures of the selected three Spanish banks for it will expose the marketing and client response on their websites and company at large. A comparative analysis of the three Spanish banks will show the reliability of data as well as present diverse views of the nature of social media, its role and operation in the banking sector in relation to the clients.

Research Analysis

After collecting the data, the analysis will be enhanced through classification of data based on the study objectives, coding under specific titles based on the variables and the research questions, and offering both narration and organization of the items.

Overall, now the social media platform is a business strategy that indeed provokes the interest of people, allows self-assessment, persuasion, and the pursuit of potential client’s investment, engagement, organization, and experiment. The commonest social media platforms that companies use are; Google plus, Facebook, and LinkedIn. In the evaluation of the importance of social media and application in banks, it is clear that the clients use to search for products, comment on services offered by companies, order for goods, transact business, and follow up on organizational processes. Besides, social media is often used in improving customer retention, client acquisition, and marketing through images, analysis of client attitude, and promotions. The Spanish companies have proved the significance of social media through the innovative and expansion achievement they have attained while dispensing bank services and selling products. The idea has been adopted by a number of new multinationals for future business models, talent and cultural innovation and leadership. Therefore, an exploration of social media and usage in banks in critical in acquiring more relevant facts about its clients, usage and safety.

In most industries, market-based competition is the primary incentive for sellers to maximize the quality of their product or service and to limit the cost.

look at the following:

· What is the government’s role in healthcare? How does the government impact healthcare organizations?

· How does health insurance impact healthcare delivery?

· How can we reduce the number of uninsured people while maximizing quality and access and minimizing costs?

Support your answer with relevant resources. Paper should be 2 to 3 paragraphs in length.

False Memories

Watch the following videos:
False Memories (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Loftus Speaks: The Malleability of Memory (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

In the videos, Loftus describes the ease with which false memories can be created or altered. Yet people like Paul Shanely are incarcerated, convicted of heinous crimes based on the testimony of men who have claimed to have repressed memories of years of childhood sexual abuse until adulthood. The two sides of the argument are referred to as “The Memory Wars.” For this discussion, choose one of the following prompts:

Analyze both sides of the Shanely case. Which side is best supported by the scientific evidence? Which one do you support and why?
Analyze the case of the Ramona family. How could the daughter repress such memories for so long? Does the fact that her father successfully sued the therapist prove that the memories are false?
Analyze the case of Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton. How is it possible to be so sure that you recognize a face when it is not the right person?
Provide an overview of Loftus’ research. How does that prove (or not) that memories can be created or altered?

Assignment 2.1: Liberty Challenged in Nineteenth Century America Thesis and Outline
Due Week 7 and worth 50 points

America became a free independent nation. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the former mother country, England, recognized that its children, the colonies, were now on their own. A constitutional republic was birthed, and thus the challenges began. Slavery, the “Peculiar Institution,” was a monumental issue facing the country. Would it die or would it survive and possibly take a nation divided with it? This sectionalism followed Americans up into the Civil War. Dissect this crisis by addressing parts I and II below.

For the next part of this assignment you will create an outline of the main points you want to address in this paper. This will serve as the basis for your Assignment 2.2 Final Draft.

Part 1:

Write a thesis statement that is one to two (1-2) sentences long in which you:

State your thesis on the significance of this slavery issue, as exemplified in your research. Justify your response.

For the first part of this assignment you will create a thesis statement. A thesis statement is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader. The body of the essay organizes the material you gather and present in support of your main idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself.

Week 1 – Assignment

Ethical Question
[WLO: 4] [CLOs: 1, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 1 of the textbook. This chapter will introduce you to the basic form and subject matter of ethical reasoning and assist you as you select an ethical question, examine the context, issues, and arguments surrounding the question, and attempt to defend an answer to the question.
Please read these assignment instructions before writing your paper as they contain very precise and specific instructions on both the content and format requirements. You should download the provided outline and use that to structure your paper, as well as consult the assignment guidance and modeled example for additional help. Finally, before submitting your assignment please use the checklist to ensure that you have completed all of the requirements.
Overview

This course has three written assignments that build upon one another and are designed to take you step-by-step through a process of writing a paper that identifies an ethical question, examines the context, issues, and arguments surrounding the question, and attempts to defend an answer to that question using strong moral reasoning.
This first written assignment is a six-part exercise comprised of the following sections:

Ethical Question
Introduction
Position Statement
Reasons in Support of Your Position
Opposing Position Statement
Reasons in Support of the Opposing Position

The assignment should be 500 words, written in essay form, with six clearly labeled sections as indicated below, and include a title page and reference page.
Part 1: Ethical Question
Before writing the paper, you will need to spend some time thinking about the specific ethical issue you want to focus on throughout this course.

Begin this task by viewing the list of approved ethical topics and questions provided in the Week 1 Announcement titled: “Written Assignment Ethical Topics and Questions List.” Take some time looking over the list and browsing through some of the material in the corresponding chapters of the textbook in which each topic is addressed and decide which to focus on.
Once you have done this, choose one of the ethical questions associated with that topic. If you wish to do so, you may formulate your own ethical question, but it must be on one of the topics listed in the announcement. Be sure to carefully study the provided questions and model your own question after them in terms of specificity and ethical focus.”

Place the ethical question under the Part 1: Ethical Question heading at the top of the paper.
Part 2: Introduction
In this section of your paper, you should introduce the topic and question at issue by doing the following (not necessarily in this exact order):

Explain its relevance and importance.
Define any key terms and concepts.
Provide any relevant context and background information.
Briefly reference an idea, quote, or analysis of the issue that you have found in one of the required resources on the topic. Required resources include the textbook chapter focused on that topic (6, 7, 8, 9, or 10), the “Primary Sources” listed at the end of Chapters 6-9, and the “readings listed under “Further Reading” at the end of each section in Chapter 10.

The introduction will be the longest section of this assignment and should be at least 300 words in one or two paragraphs. Place the introduction material under the Part 2: Introduction.
Part 3: Position Statement
Your work on the introduction section has likely unearthed various positions one might take on the ethical question you have chosen. In this section, you will formulate a position statement.

A position statement is a one sentence statement that articulates your position on the issue and directly answers the question you have raised. For example, if the question was, “What is a physician’s obligation with respect to telling the truth to his or her patients?” a position statement might be “A physician may never directly lie to a patient, but it may be moral for a physician to withhold information if the physician reasonably believes doing so directly benefits the patient.” A different position statement might be: “A physician may use any means necessary, including lying to a patient, if the physician believes that will produce the best overall results.” However, the following statement would not be a sufficient position statement: “A physician must always respect the rights of his or her patients.” The reason this is not a sufficient position statement is that it does not directly answer the question concerning truth telling.
Think of the position statement as the strongest claim you would make if you were a prosecuting attorney making your opening statement to a jury, where you want to state precisely and directly the position you want them to believe.

Place the position statement under the Part 3: Position Statement heading.
Part 4: Reasons in Support of Your Position
Now that you have articulated a position on the issue, write a short paragraph—just a few sentences—that presents and explains one or two of the strongest reasons in support of your position statement.

You want your supporting reason to explain why someone should support the position you are taking on the ethical question. A supporting reason is a consideration that helps to show why your position is stronger than another position.
One way to approach this is to imagine yourself in friendly conversation with someone who does not necessarily agree with your position (perhaps they disagree, or perhaps they are undecided). When you state your position, they might ask why you think that; the kind of response you would give is a supporting reason.
Supporting reasons can include many things including, but not limited to: an appeal to moral principles such as duty, justice, fairness and equality; the positive or negative effects of certain actions on policies; or a summary of facts, statistics or evidence and an explanation of how they support your view.

Place the supporting reason(s) under the Part 4: Reasons in Support of Your Position heading.
Part 5: Opposing Position Statement
Now that you have provided reasons to support your position statement, in this section you will take a step back from all of that and articulate a statement that expresses an opposing or contrary statement.

Think of the opposing position statement as the strongest claim you would make if you were the defense attorney making your opening statement to the jury immediately after they have heard the prosecutor’s statement.

Place the opposing position statement under the Part 5: Opposing Position Statement heading.
Part 6: Reasons in Support of the Opposing Position
In this section, write a short paragraph—just a few sentences—that presents and explains one or two of the strongest reasons in support of the opposing position statement.

A strong opposing reason is a reason anyone would need to consider, even if they do not agree with the opposing position.
In other words, do not simply contradict claims that you make in Part 4, especially factual claims! You should strive to identify and articulate considerations in support of the opposing position that you think are accurate and true, or at least plausible, even if you still believe your own position has the most support overall.
If the reason(s) in support of the opposing position are ones you consider obviously false or indefensible, you should look for better reasons.
Put yourself in the position of a defense attorney who has to make the best possible case to the jury in defense of his or her client.

Place the opposing reasons under the Part 6: Reasons in Support of the Opposing Position heading.
In your paper,

Identify the ethical question.
Introduce the topic and question.
Formulate a position statement.
Explain the strongest reasons in support of the position statement.
Formulate an opposing position statement.
Explain the strongest reasons in support of the opposing position statement.
