Ashford 6: – Week 5 – Discussion

 

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
 

Ethical   and Legal Implications

 

In this discussion, you will   explore and discuss how to use information ethically and legally. You will   begin by watching a video about the serious nature of plagiarism and sharing   your reaction. Then, you will examine some scenarios related to plagiarism at   Ashford University.

 

Description: Prepare Icon

Prepare: Begin   your discussion post by viewing the CBS video, CBS Morning News   “Plagiarism” story. Then,   review Description: https://bridgepoint.equella.ecollege.com/curriculum/file/dd355181-8ff7-40ef-9ed9-0a81f0a483bc/1/HelpNowDocument.png6 Ways to Avoid   Plagiarism and Generally Be a Cool Person.   Finally, read the article or listen to the podcast, Turnitin and the Debate   Over Anti-Plagiarism Software.

 

Description: Reflect Icon

Reflect: As you watch the video, think about the implications and   consequences of plagiarism in the workplace and in the entertainment   industry.

 

Description: Write Icon

Write: After watching the video, describe your reaction to the   video and the implications to your own work. Did it surprise you to learn how   serious plagiarism is, or do you feel that you already understood this issue?   Do you know of any other instances of plagiarism either in school or beyond?   If so, what was the punishment in those situations?

Next, read one pair of   scenarios below that highlight some of the most common plagiarism issues at   the college level. The pairs will be assigned to you by the first initial of   your last name in the chart below. For both scenarios in the pair, carefully   read the scenario and respond as directed.

 

First Initial of Last Name

Assigned Pair

 

A – H

Pair 1

 

I – P

Pair 2

 

Q – Z

Pair 3

Pair 1:

Copy-Pasting
The discussion board prompt for Serena’s American History class asks students   to brainstorm ways to improve the democratic system of   government. Serena searches online to help her come up with ideas for   what to write. She comes across the following sentences and copies and pastes   them into her discussion post without any additions or her own commentary:   “We cannot improve on the system of government handed down to us by the   founders of the Republic. There is no way to improve upon that. But, what we   can do is to find new ways to implement that system and realize our   destiny.”Serena submits her discussion post but has a bad feeling about it.   She is not sure what she should have done differently.

Write a paragraph of advice for   Serena explaining why copying and pasting in the way that she did was wrong   and what she should do differently next time.

Poor Paraphrasing
Cara is writing a research paper for her Anthropology class. She notices that   she is using a lot of quotations and wants to mix it up a bit by also   paraphrasing some of her sources’ ideas. One of her sources states, “Almost   all cultures celebrate some form of marriage. However, there are multiple   variables across culture, some of the most noteworthy being average age of   first marriage, common gender roles within marriages, and the role of   romance.” Cara attempts to put these ideas into her own words by writing:   “According to Smith (2004), practically every culture celebrates a certain   type of marriage, but there are many variables such as average age at time of   union, expected gender roles, and the role that romance plays.”

In this scenario, we know that   Cara has good intentions and that she cites her source, so what is she doing   wrong here? What should she do differently? Write a paragraph of advice for   Cara telling her what she should do to fix her poor paraphrasing and how she   should approach this process differently next time.

Pair 2:

Paraphrasing Without Citation
Kelly is researching the representation of females in film for her   Composition final. She wants to discuss the films of Kathryn Bigelow. She   searches for “Kathryn Bigelow” in the Ashford University Library databases   and locates an article by Joel Johnson that discusses Bigelow’s film, The   Hurt Locker. Kelly finds a sentence that she feels perfectly covers what   she wants to say about Bigelow’s filmmaking: “Bigelow is one of the few   female directors who has consistently tackled ‘masculine’ subjects in her films.”   She writes in her paper, “The subjects of Bigelow’s films are often   male-centric, which is rare for a female director” but does not credit the   idea to the source.

Write a paragraph of advice for   Kelly explaining the importance of citing sources. Describe to Kelly what   steps she needs to now take to avoid plagiarizing the author of the article.

Patch-Writing
Ryan’s Philosophy professor asked for students to explain the word   “semantics” and use it in a sentence. Ryan looks up “semantics” on   Dictionary.com and finds that it means, “the study of Meaning. It is the   study of linguistic development that examines and classifies changes in   meaning and form of words.” In Ryan’s response to his professor’s request, he   writes, “Semantics focuses on meaning. It is the study of linguistic   development. It looks at and classifies changes in meaning and forms of   words.” Ryan is surprised when his professor gives him a 0 on the discussion   post and warns him not to plagiarize in the future. Ryan argues that all   definitions of “semantics” that he reviewed are almost identical and that the   definition should be considered common knowledge.

Does Ryan have a point, or is   there a different way he should have approached including a definition? Write   a paragraph of advice for Ryan explaining what, if anything, he should have   done differently in this situation.

Pair 3:

Fabrication
Shawn is assigned a paper on biases in the judicial system. Shawn is having   difficulty figuring out where to find sources for this topic. He has searched   online and once briefly in the Ashford University Library databases but has   not found what he is looking for: statistics of the number of people   currently in jail in the United States versus ten years ago. Feeling   overwhelmed and frustrated, Shawn decides that he knows enough about this   topic to guess an average number. He writes, “The number of incarcerated   males in America has increased by 10% in the last ten years.”

Write a paragraph of advice for   Shawn explaining why creating a fact statistic is wrong and what he should do   differently next time. Explain to Shawn what he should have done in this   situation instead of fabricating a statistic.

Collusion
Wanda and her brother, Gene, are both students at Ashford   University. They share many of the same interests. Both are English   majors, they take most of the same courses (though not the same course   section), and they like to do their homework together because it helps them   share good ideas and also save time. Recently they took an American   Literature class and read The Great Gatsby. Wanda and Gene had to   complete the same final paper topic, so they researched together, reading and   incorporating the same resources into both of their papers. They also   discussed their ideas while writing and ended up both arguing the same main   point in their papers. Several weeks later, Wanda and Gene got letters from   the Office of Academic Integrity saying that they had committed plagiarism.

Write a paragraph of advice to   Wanda and Gene explaining to them what they might have done differently in   this situation to avoid this outcome. In your paragraph, explain whether or   not you believe their actions to be plagiarism.

To maximize the opportunity for   vigorous discussion, you must post to this discussion on at least three   separate days of the week and your posts must total at least 600 words   as you address the questions noted above. Your first post must be completed   by Day 3 (Thursday) and the remainder of your posts must be completed by Day   7 (Monday). You must answer all aspects of the prompt at some point during   the week. Also, be sure to reply to your classmates and instructor.

 

Description: Discuss Icon

Respond to Peers: Reply to at least two of your classmates who explored a   different scenario than that which you examined. Will the advice they   provided be helpful in the future for the individual in the scenario? What   might your classmates add to their advice to make it even more helpful? What   additional resources could the individuals in the scenarios be directed to   for help?

Topic: Does The First Amendment Protect Advertisements? “Commercial Speech,” Also Known As Advertising, Is Protected By The 1st Amendment Of The U.S. Constitution. This Type Of Speech Enjoys Somewhat Less 1st Amendment Protection From Governmental Encroac

/in /by

Outline

Thesis:

Advertising is a protected form of speech by the First Amendment. I will support the decision for the courts to regulate commercial speech as if it was unregulated the business practices could turn into an unethical form of expression. I will elaborate on the differences between commercial and non-commercial speech and why one is more federally regulated than another.

Introduction:

Factually state the First Amendment and how it protects commercial and non-commercial speech. Elude to how I will cover in the paper, the difference between the two, why I support the courts stricter form of commercial speech regulation.

Body:

Additionally, from above the paper will cover how some may disagree with my point of view, how I can refute or concede to those statements, yet still support why my thesis is the overwhelmingly correct position on the topic.

Conclusion:

I will work on tying together all the afore mentioned points and provide some commentary as to how I might envision regulation transpiring in the future due to advancements in technology/web 2.0 technologies and society in itself.

 

Synopsis

I have decided to cover in my paper the First Amendment and its protection, yet regulation, of commercial speech. Advertising has always intrigued me, and I think this is a wonderful opportunity to learn beyond the surface layer of marketing. I will support why I believe commercial speech should be protected, why it should be regulated more stringently over non-commercial and ultimately where the tweaking of regulation by the FTC may go in the future.

Social Work Research- Discussion: Program Evaluation: Benefits And Concerns Of Stakeholders

/in /by

Dudley (2009) points out that social work practice is usually embedded in programs. While you looked at practice evaluation using single-subject design in Week 3, this week, you shift focus to program evaluation. Program evaluation serves many purposes, including accountability to funders and to the public. Often, funding sources such as government agencies or private foundations requires periodic program evaluations. These evaluations can help provide answers to many different questions, and can contribute to improvement of services. There are a variety of program evaluation models that are appropriate for addressing different questions as well as facilitating the collection and analysis of many different types of data.

To prepare for this Discussion, identify a program within an agency with which you are familiar, which could benefit from process evaluation and outcome evaluation. You do not need to identify the agency in your post. Also, review the different evaluation models highlighted in this week’s resources (needs assessment, program monitoring, client satisfaction study, outcome evaluation, or cost benefit study).

By Day 3

Post a brief summary of the program that you selected. Recommend a program evaluation model that would answer a question relevant to the program. Explain the potential benefits of the program evaluation that you proposed (both process and outcome). Identify 2–3 concerns that stakeholders might have about your proposed evaluation and how you would address those concerns. Then explain 2–3 concerns that stakeholders may have about your proposed program evaluation and how you would address those concerns.

Assignment: Schizophrenia Over Time: Experiences Living With The Illness

/in /by

Experiences of schizophrenia are not homogeneous; there is wide variety in onset, course of illness, and combinations of symptoms. Social workers need to be able to understand the different manifestations and pathways of the illness to plan interventions. Social work services play a key role in stabilizing crises, supporting family coping, and influencing overall quality of life and outcomes of individuals with schizophrenia. In this Assignment, you practice applying this necessary individualization.

To prepare: In the Learning Resources, focus on the associated features, development, and course of the illnesses in the schizophrenia spectrum. Also focus on descriptions of the disorder and the way it develops for different individuals.

Choose two articles from the list in the Learning Resources that apply to treatment support and interventions for the schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders chapter in the DSM 5. Choose either Saks or McGough to focus on for this assignment.

By Day 7

Submit a 3- to 4-page paper, supported by at least 4 scholarly resources (not including DSM-5), in which you address the following:

  • Describe Saks’s or McGough’s experiences with schizophrenia. Identify onset, associated features (specifically referencing the positive and negative symptoms), development, and course. 
  • Explain how you would use the Clinician Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity measure and the WHODAS to help confirm your diagnosis.
  • Explain how you would plan treatment and individualize it for Saks or McGough. Support your response with references to scholarly resources. In your explanation, consider the following questions:
    • What are the long-term challenges for someone living with the illness?
    • What social, family, vocational, and medical supports are needed for long-term stabilization?
  • Briefly explain how race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, or other identity characteristics may influence an individual’s experience with schizophrenia.

Introduction to Business and Society SOSC 1340/1349 A and B, 2015-16 Essay 2

Due: February 11 (B) or 12 (A), in lecture Length: 6-8 pages/1500-2000 words (double spaced, 12 point font, 2.5 cm margins) Value: 30 marks (out of 150) Late essays will be subject to a -2% penalty per day Synthesizing Course Materials You are required to draw on one of either the films Surviving Progress and The Corporation or the creative readings by Rice, Garrett and Steinbeck to illustrate your understanding of the key concepts raised in the text(s) you will be analyzing. The essay writing process involves several stages: formulating a working thesis, organizing your notes and constructing an essay plan. See the guidelines from the first essay instructions and review Shea and Whitla, part 4. Independent Research You are writing a ‘persuasive essay’ (Shea and Whitla, pp. 228-9) which involves some research. You will need to find and use two secondary ACADEMIC sources for this essay (no Wikipedia, dictionary.com, etc.). You MUST use proper referencing techniques (consult Shea and Whtila, chapter 9). Failure to do properly and consistently document and acknowledge your sources constitutes PLAGARISM and makes you subject to academic sanction. Instructions Pick one of the essay topics below. DO NOT simply answer the questions in the order that they appear in the topic. The order of presentation is something you need to think deeply about: you need to think about what it is that you want to say and the order that it would be best to say it in order to show how well you understand the concepts, issues and arguments under consideration. Return to your introduction after you have completed your draft to ensure that the order of presentation you outline here corresponds to the structure of your essay. Formal Requirements Essays must include a title page (include your name, student number, TAs name and submission date) and a properly formatted bibliography. Papers should be double spaced, with 12 point font (Times New Roman, Arial or Cambria are common ones) and one inch margins. Each page of your essay (not including the title page, which would be page ‘0’) must be numbered. Your essay must start with a comprehensive introduction which includes: i. The position the author takes on the key question; ii. Your thesis; and iii. An explanation of how your essay will be organized. Your essay must have a clear paragraph structure, with each paragraph starting with a clear topic sentence. *You are required to complete the SPARK module on selecting sources at: http://www.yorku.ca/spark/books_journals_more/index.html

 

 

Essay Topics 1. What is the difference between real progress and ‘progress traps’ according to Wright?

Why does he refer to civilization as a ‘pyramid scheme’? What is the Victorian ideal of progress, and how might this have contributed to an ideology of progress that has helped to obscure the fact that our civilization is in the midst of ‘the biggest progress trap in human history’?

2. What is the difference between the ‘social division of labour’ and the ‘detail division of labour’, according to Braverman? What are the social consequences of the capitalist organization of production? What is the Babbage Principle and how does its application to the labour process result in the “degradation of work”? How can we use Rice’s play to illustrate the effects Braverman describes?

3. How does Nace define the modern corporation and how is it different from the

‘classical’ form? What are the ‘essential characteristics’ of the corporation, according to Glasbeek? How does limited liability help to protect investors (shareholders) and executives, managers and directors of the corporation from individual responsibility? Who—or what—is responsible for what happens to the farmers in Steinbeck’s story?

4. Should the corporation have legal and ethical obligations to society beyond promoting

the private interests—maximizing profits—of shareholders? Why does Friedman refer to ‘social responsibility’ as a ‘dangerous doctrine’? How does Glasbeek’s critique of the ethical justification of capitalism represent a response to Friedman? Is Garrett’s main character (Mr. Galt) acting to maximize private interests, or the public interest?
