to be answered in detail and use direct quotes from the book. Go into great length and detail about the paragraph below.

Obviously, love is a central concern, and the knights in the romance must obey the rules of love. Explore several scenes which depict the strictly codified behavior of knight and lady (i.e., lovesickness, wooing, lovemaking, etc.). Here, it would be useful to look at Andreas Cappalanus’ list of rules for courtly love. How does the character Lancelot conform to these rules?

In preparation for this assignment, review the following resources:
• Managing Human Resources
• A New Mandate for Human Resources
• Does This Company Need a Union?
• Human Resources Management
• Voices of Union – Voices of Young Workers
• Workplace Health and Safety History, to the 1920s.
• Workplace Health and Safety History 1930s to WWII.
• Workplace Healthy and Safety History WWII to OSHA
According to Beer et al (1984), human resources management (HRM) has developed as a way to serve workers’ interests, albeit internally within the workplace. This challenges the role of worker advocacy. Historically, workers’ interests have been served by external representatives from labor unions, and have also been protected through government interventions such as laws and regulations. The purpose of this assignment is to understand the roles of unions and the role of HRM, and examine whether workers have adequate support and protections in the modern workplace. After reading the text chapters for Week 1 and Week 2 and reviewing the resources provided:
• Explain how unions, human resources management personnel, and government interventions (such as laws and regulations) serve to address worker rights and worker safety.
• Evaluate whether unions and HRM have unique roles for different groups (i.e., the organization, management, and the workers) or if there are areas of overlap.
• Assess the following statement, “Workers in the modern workplaces of America are well protected and well supported.” Explain whether you agree or disagree with this statement, based on what you now know about government interventions, unions, HRM, and worker advocacy. Be sure to support your agreement or disagreement with statements of reasoning from your analysis.

The paper must be four to five double-spaced pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly sources (which can be found in the Ashford University Library) other than the textbook to support your claims.

Overview: Writing an Annotated Bibliography Using MLA Style
What is an annotated bibliography? An annotated bibliography is simply a list of summarized and evaluated sources (a bibliography) for your final project. It should be composed of two main parts:
A focusing introduction to the bibliography and
A short descriptive and evaluative summary (annotation) of each source on the list.
1. Introduction
The short (roughly half-page) introduction to the annotated bib explains the purpose and focus of the bibliography— (a) overview of the significance of the issue you’re investigating, and (b) what your research question is (or if multiple detailed ones, “are”).
2. Annotations
The 100-200 word annotation following each of the eight sources summarizes & evaluates the source and details its relation to the bibliography’s topic, and thus its usefulness to your research. Here’s an example of one for you to use right here: SAMPLE
—————–
How should you write each annotation entry? Use 100-200 words to provide as much information about each source as is relevant for your research project. Include the following five elements for each of the eight sources:
First, explain the type of source you are annotating, the topic of the piece, and the qualifications of the author. For example, “In this scholarly peer-reviewed journal article, John Jones, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University, evaluates parental approaches to implementing reading incentives.”
Summarize the research method used. State if you would use the same kind of method for your own research and why or why not.
Summarize the main claim and conclusion. You can include as much or as little detail about the findings/claims as will be relevant and helpful to you for your own paper.
Evaluate the claim/s. For example, if the author’s interpretation of data is flawed, for instance there is no logos (facts, stats), or the author includes a limited sample, you can comment on that in your annotation. For example, you might state, “Jones argues that the majority of parents do not think about implementing reading incentives at home. He only surveyed a small sample of parents in a small town to provide evidence to back this claim, and this one-sided analysis is a logical fallacy and thus holds little reliability.”
State clearly how this source is relevant to the “conversation” surrounding your own research question.
Please refer to the sample annotation again: SAMPLE ANNOTATION
—————–
How is an annotated bib arranged and formatted? Arrange the AB alphabetically, beginning each entry (source) with an MLA citation (just like it would appear on a Works Cited page) and following that with its annotation. MLA format dictates that the entire bibliography should be double spaced. Do not put an extra space between entries. Use a hanging indent
(Links to an external site.)

after first line of citation.
—————–
How many sources are required? Eight (at least–of course you can include more) for this assignment. Remember that your research project is an attempt to join a conversation. The AB is a snapshot of that conversation. Too few sources, and you probably haven’t explored the conversation. Too many, and you will never get to what you have to say!
—————–
What is the purpose? The primary purpose of the AB is to get you reading the ongoing conversation about the research area that interests you. As you do that, you need a way to stay organized, so the secondary purpose of the annotated bib is to serve as a research aid. With large, multiple-source projects, you’ll always fight some level of confusion about “who said that?” or “where did I read that?”
The ultimate goal of reading about your topic is to determine where there is a “niche” that you can fill with your own research. You’ll know when you have read enough when you have a clear idea of what has been done in relation to your question, and where you can enter the conversation.
__________________________________________________________________
Procedure Breakdown:
1) After you’ve narrowed your topic into one specific research question (it can still morph a little at this point!), find eight relevant sources (you can use the six you found for the “Synthesis Matrix).
2) Begin taking notes on and composing entries for each of the sources, making sure you include information for the five required annotation elements stated above. Avoid plagiarizing and the temptation to copy the abstract at all costs!
3) Be sure each entry is at least 100 words and does not exceed about 250 words (a little over is not a problem).
4) Check again to make sure each of the entries is within the word count range above and includes the five elements in the annotation. Feel free to view the student example of an entire AB assignment found here: Student_Sample_AB.pdf
5) Include the short (roughly half-page) introduction to the annotated bib explains the purpose and focus of the bibliography— (a) overview of the significance of the issue you’re investigating, and (b) what your research question is (or if multiple detailed ones, “are”).
6) Format the AB correctly with hanging indents and alphabetization.
7) Proofread for errors.
8) Submit the three required documents: a) your final draft, b) the completed self review, and c) a reflection paragraph

Ethics Bowl Case Responses

Kantian Ethics

 

 

Basic Information:

1. Paper should be around 1250 words. (It is permissible to write more.)
2. Paper is due as an e-mail attachment on the date the syllabus specifies.
3. Please use this filename format: Last Name (space) (hyphen) (space) Topic (e.g. Smith – Kantian Ethics). Since I will receive 50 papers this is important!
4. To receive confirmation set the confirmation function in the e-mail client.
5. It is appropriate to write in the first person.
6. Since the focus is on the philosophical content there is no need to have a formal introduction or conclusion.
7. Remember whether it is paraphrase or a direct quotation it is essential to cite sources. The citation format is open.
8. Since the papers will all be in electronic format, please keep copies on a USB drive or disc in case there are problems that require the papers to be sent to me again.

 

Aim:

To use Kantian ethics to analyze the Ethics Bowl case.

 

Kantian Ethics:

1. Indicate the various agents or parties that the case involves and the action that each proposes to take.
2. Since the focus in the class is on professional ethics, the analysis should focus on the professional(s) in the case and their decisions and actions.

1. Universal Law Formula

1. Formulate the maxim that underlies the professional’s action:

I will ______________, when______________ in order to ______________.

1. Universalize the action to determine whether it satisfies the Universal Law Formula (Act on that maxim alone that one can at the same time will to be a universal law), i.e., can all human beings observe the maxim and succeed or does it result in either a logical contradiction or a contradiction in will?
2. Ends-In-Themselves Formula
   1. Determine whether the professional’s action satisfies the Ends-In-Themselves Formula (So act that one treats human beings, whether in one’s own person or in other person’s, as end-in-themselves and never as mere means), i.e., does the action treat human beings as ends-in-themselves or does it impede or undermine their abilities to make free and autonomous decisions and so treat them as mere means? Explain this in detail!

 

 

Evaluation Criteria:

1. Is the paper’s analysis clear and systematic?
2. Does the paper demonstrate that the author understands the case and ethical tradition in question?
3. Does the paper demonstrate insight into the profession and professional issues that the case focuses on?
4. Thus:

‘A’ – indicates that the paper deals with the material and a clear and systematic manner, but also reflects insights into the material’s application to other issues or problems.

‘B’ – means that the paper develops and deals with the material in a clear and systematic manner, though there is no real insight into the material’s wider ramifications or applications.

‘C’ – means that while the paper covers the appropriate material, the analysis does little more than restate the obvious.

‘D’ – means that while an attempt is made, the analysis is incomplete or misrepresents the material.

‘F’ –   means that there is no attempt to do the assignment at all.

 

Essay #1: Writing the History of the Conquest

Compare and contrast Bernal Díaz’s account(s) of the conquest with ONE of the following:

• Columbus’ “Letter to King Ferdinand”
• Hernán Cortés’ Letters to Charles V
• Fray Bernardino de Sahagún’s texts from the Florentine Codex

Answer this question: How do the authors write the history of the conquest/first contact? Consider the author’s identity, when he is writing, his intended audience, obvious biases, ways in which his worldview (European, Christian, indigenous) is apparent, silences or exclusions (who or what does NOT appear?), etc.

Your ARGUMENTATIVE essay should compare and contrast these aspects of
history-writing or history-making. Although there may be similarities, often the best arguments identify DIFFERENCES.

The papers should 1) present an original thesis and support it with evidence from the texts; 2) include a title that accurately reflects your argument; 3) use Chicago Style footnoting; and 4) contextualize the topic using a BRIEF reference to Burkholder and Johnson’s Colonial Latin America.

I strongly encourage you to see me in advance about essay ideas.

The essay should be five pages, double spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font and normal page margins. I will deduct three points for each day papers are late.

Write a persuasive/argumentative essay (with in-text citations in MLA format) by choosing one of the topics below. Your typed essay should follow the standard format (your heading in the top left corner, running header on all pages, title of paper, indented paragraphs), be at least 6-8 pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12pt font ONLY—a paragraph is a minimum of 5-8 sentences, and the works cited page is not counted as one of your pages.) and use at least 4 reference sources (professional websites/resources only—NO WIKIPEDIA or any other WIKIs, ask.com, or ehow.com, etc.) to support your argument.

1. Has social media broken the line of communication and human contact? Yes or No? Create specific points to develop the thesis statement that can be researched to prove your position.

Please write a 4-5 page argumentative evidence-based essay that answers one (1) of the following questions:

1. The European Reformations are generally seen as marking a major change in European history. In your judgment, what are the major changes caused (or accelerated) by the Reformations, and how did they affect Europe?
2. Imagine that you are living in Germany, France, OR England in 1600. In a (very organized!) letter to your sibling who has emigrated to America, explain how the Reformation has affected your life. Some things to think about when writing this letter: a) it’s a fun form, but you still need an argument up front in your first paragraph. (Dearbrother, overall I must say that ….. ). b) to make your letter effective, you need to think about what was happening in your chosen country. The English Reformation was different than the French or German.)
c) To make your letter effective, you need to pick a confessional identity. You don’t get the choice of being an impartial observer–you HAVE to be a Catholic or a Protestant. Then: are you living in a region dominated by the other religion? Are you a mainstream Protestant or a a radical? If you are in a Catholic country, what about the Inquisition? d) Although this is a letter, you still need to CITE YOUR SOURCES, both quoted and paraphrased, and you need to follow basic organizational rules instead of jumping all over.
3. A lot of students commented on the lack of tolerance for other beliefs or practices during the Reformation. Imagine that you are in a room with Martin Luther, Elizabeth I OR Henry of Navarre, a Spanish high ranking member of the Inquisition (call him Tomas!), a radical reformer (your choice — Puritan, Anabaptist, Spiritualist, etc.), and an ordinary person from France, England OR Germany (your choice of town or country, merchant or laborer — no nobles, please, Catholic or Protestant). Write up their debate about the concept of permitting tolerance, and what they think tolerance means (hint: none of them think it means “live and let live”).
