ethics quiz 5

There has been much talk about raising the minimum wage for low level earners in this country. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr. The new minimum wage in New York State is much higher at $11.10/hr. However, many feel that even this higher rate is not enough to live off of in many places. That is why many people argue that businesses should be required to pay what is called a “living wage.” A living wage is a wage that would be sure to cover basic expenses such as rent, child care, health care, etc. Living wage therefore depends on the area in which one lives. (See the living wage calculator at http://livingwage.mit.edu/ to see rates for different areas across the country.)
Quiz question (be sure to answer all parts):
What would Rawls say about requiring businesses to provide a living wage? Apply his two principles of justice here. What would Nozick say about this? Apply his two principles of justice here. Finally, what would a duty theorist say about providing a living wage? Apply the categorical imperative here.

LAW Similar to affordable care act

directions on the document- I stand for universal healthcare
create an Act to replace the ACA. Do not attempt to fold in Medicare or Medicaid recipients, but create a federal health plan that would cover as many people as possible. The philosophy of your Plan will be critical to its structure. No numbers, legislative rules, etc. Simply outline who will be covered, your goal for monthly premium payments, goal for annual deductibles, what is covered/what isn’t, and a general discussion of how to pay for it.

Don’t get stuck in the weeds. The idea is to understand the complexities and nuances of trying to cover as many people as possible within reason.
Furrow Health Law CH 10: The Affordable Care Act (ACA, or “Obamacare”), pages 407-438.
Obamacare and the Middle Class;
Heritage Foundation 2016 Report on ACA (long article–hit the highlights);
For your reference only: In December, a Texas federal judge ruled that the ACA was unconstitutional (Case 4:18-cv-00167-O). Because an appeal is pending (and the judge has stayed his own ruling) we won’t cover this in detail. The ruling is published here. Click for more options

Raymond Carver’s “Popular Mechanics”

Unlike Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl,” Raymond Carver’s “Popular Mechanics” is not ambiguous in terms of the zeitgeist that produced it. It is clearly Post-Modern, meaning that it is a fictional work that is dark and without hope.
Write an five paragraph essay discussing Carver’s work as POST-MODERN in ONE of three ways: as a revision of a Biblical myth (please research this on line), as Post-Modern in its use of length, subverted punctuation, and open ending, OR as a work Post-Modern in terms of its symbols. Remember that each paragraph needs to be 5 to 7 sentences long. Unlike Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl,” Raymond Carver’s “Popular Mechanics” is not ambiguous in terms of the zeitgeist that produced it.

Storm Preparedness involving Hurricanes

Here are the instructions for my paper listed below. Also for my references, I need to use scholarly journal articles just FYI. Below, I have attached two pages which I started on my own where you may pick up from to generate an idea of what I wanted. I still need 5 pages of content from you as well. For the paper, you will outline a specific disaster communication plan framed around the disaster type you chose. Specifically, this paper should address the following:
• A brief description of the disaster type, including how past events have been handled among various stakeholders and actors
• Which sources would communicate with the public in the immediate wake of the disaster
• The specific instructions that would be given to the public
• A plan for communication between different levels of government about the disaster, including:
o First responders
o Local governments
o State governments
o The federal government (if necessary)
• A mechanism for allowing the public to contact authorities in reference to the disaster
• The individuals/organizations that would need to be part of a communication network handling problems after the disaster
o Including mechanisms for communication between them
For this paper, you should draw from all the lessons over the course of the semester that discuss these various issues. Although the format of this assignment is a paper, it may help you to include charts and graphs that illustrate some of the concepts in your paper.
For example, when describing how agencies at different levels of the government will need to coordinate, it might be useful to produce a flowchart depicting how information flows between these different actors.
The paper should be at least 1,500 words, but no more than 3,000 words. Your paper should include a title page and a references page. Neither of these will count toward your word total.
You should have at least eight sources for the final draft of your communication plan.
A few tips:
• If you have any questions regarding the assignment at any point, please get in contact with your instructor. The instructor will be able to point you to relevant research and other resources that can help you as you work on your paper over the course of the semester.
• Do not wait until the end of the semester to work on the entire paper. Over the course of the term, we will encounter information that will be relevant to the paper. Feel free to outline ideas from week-to-week as a framework for your paper.
• Choose a topic that is interesting to you. You will find the paper much easier to write (and more intriguing) if you write about something you are interested in. Do not restrict yourself to the topics outlined above.

Plumbing Business consultancy report

This is a team report (uploaded as a document below) but it is not good at the moment.

A group report needs to be submitted, on the following subject: we are CONSULTING for a plumber who wants to grow his business “JGM Plumbing Services”.

This is a consultancy report therefore need concepts and theories to explain our answer but not too technical as we need the Plumber to understand it but needs to also tick the box of academic concepts research and referencing for the module tutor!

I only want the following parts please:
SWOT analysis – 400 words
Advertising (Only give a guesstimate at cost of doing the website/platforms and also time required) – 70 words
Recommendations – 350 words

PLEASE NOTE that this plumber prides himself on “attention to detail” and “top quality jobs”, he would like to be involved mainly with top end/luxurious bathrooms and only works with one top quality tiler and one top quality electrician (tried many in the past and been disappointed). His weaknesses are as he put it he is very slow at typing emails / takes him hours to send a detailed email to a customer so he does this in the evenings after work, and is worried about expanding and then losing his niche market, he doesn’t want to be called to do small jobs (such as can you come and fix a leak? unless it’s related to a job he has done for that customer in which case he has no issue providing follow up customer care). He may be slightly more expensive than other plumbers as he prioritises a “job well done”. Please message me if you need clarifications.
