Compose And Answer One Original Question Per Group Below:

/in /by

Compose and answer one original question per group below:

Group 1: Aristotle or Mill (Pick one; both author’s files are attached below)

Group 2: Sartre (Sarte’s file is attached below)

Q&A Discussion Forum: You will be asked to come up with two original questions based on the work of two different authors in each week’s required readings. Think about what stood out to you in the works in question—what ideas, theories, or approaches did you find to be interesting, engaging, or perhaps intriguing or challenging? (See each Discussion Forum for the specific authors or works you may select from in forming your questions.)

Your task is then to do your best to answer each of your own questions as incisively and thoroughly as possible within a word-count range of around 350-500 words maximum (posts with fewer than 250 words will not receive any credit). The word count includes your question but not any citations. You must cite at least one source, which will be the particular essay or article from the required readings you are addressing. You are welcome to bring in as many others sources as you may need, but this is optional. Just be sure to cite any source from which you take ideas, arguments, or passages of language within the body of your response (next to the quoted or paraphrased passages), including the full source information at the end of your response (you need not do a separate works cited or reference page for this assignment). Your score for this part of the assignment will be based on the relevance, sophistication, and originality of your questions as well as the insight, understanding, and incisiveness expressed in your answers. This assignment will be due at the end of day on each Friday of the course.

In these essay-style responses to your own questions, you should express a point of view and support your view with good reasons, evidence, examples, expert opinion, etc. High marks will not be achieved by simply reporting back information from the text or other sources. Philosophical thinking and writing involves more than presenting information; beyond doing this, you must also critically assess the issue in question—this involves original thinking and analysis. Moreover, you should attempt to come to some final position in response to the question and include evaluation of others’ positions or views on the issues involved in the question. Work for originality and development of critical analyses and evaluations.

Each one of your two Q&A Discussion threads should be formatted as follows:

My first question is:

My answer to this question is:

(#21-26) Go to www.matt-teachout.org and click on “statistics” and then “data sets”. Open the “coffee data” and copy and Columbian Mild price data. Now go to www.lock5stat.com and click on the “StatKey” button. Under the “sampling distribution” menu click on “mean”. Under edit data, paste the Columbian Mild coffee data. Click on “samples of size n” and put in 30. Turn off the button that says, “First column is identifier” as we have only a single column of data. Now click ok. You are now ready to create your sampling distribution. This time we want the computer to create a confidence interval for each sample it takes. On the right side of the screen, click on the button that says confidence intervals and set the confidence level to 95%. StatKey will take a random sample from the population data, find the sample mean and place a dot for the sample mean in the distribution. It will also create a confidence interval from that sample mean. StatKey will keep track of whether the true population mean is actually contained in the confidence interval or not. Green means the confidence interval did contain the population value and red means that the confidence interval did not contain the population value. Now answer the following questions.

21. Notice the confidence intervals for sample means were different for each random sample. Discuss the implications of sampling variability on the accuracy of a confidence interval from a random sample.

22. What was the population mean in cents per pound? Did all the confidence intervals contain the population mean? What does it mean that the interval “contained” or “captured” the population mean?

23. How many total random samples did you take? How many of them contained the population mean? What percent of the confidence intervals contained the population mean?

24. How many confidence intervals did not contain the population mean? What percent of the confidence intervals did not contain the population mean?

25. As the number of random samples increased, did the percentage of confidence intervals that contained the population mean get closer or farther away from 95%? Why do you think that is?

26. Here is the definition of 95% confidence: “95% of confidence intervals contain the population parameter and 5% do not contain the population parameter”. Explain this definition of 95% confidence in your own words.

(#27-32) Assume a fair coin has a 50% (0.5) chance of getting tails. If we take samples from that population, the sample proportions will usually not be 0.5. We want to look at lots of proportion confidence intervals from sample proportions. Go to www.lock5stat.com and click on the “StatKey” button. Under the “sampling distribution” menu click on “proportion”. Under “edit proportion”, put in 0.5 and then click ok. Under “sample size”, set it to “n = 30”. You are now ready to create your sampling distribution. We want the computer to create a confidence interval for each sample proportion. On the right side of the screen, click on the button that says confidence intervals and set the confidence level to 90%. StatKey will take a random sample from the population data, find the sample proportion and place a dot for the sample proportion in the distribution. It will also create a confidence interval from that sample. Remember that the population proportion for a fair coin is 0.5 (50%). StatKey will keep track of whether the true population proportion is actually contained in the confidence interval or not. Green means the confidence interval did contain the population value and red means that the confidence interval did not contain the population value. Now answer the following questions.

27. Notice the confidence intervals for sample proportions were different for each random sample. Discuss the implications of sampling variability on the accuracy of a confidence interval created from a random sample proportion.

28. Did all the confidence intervals contain the population proportion of 0.5? What does it mean that the interval “contained” or “captured” the population parameter?

29. How many total confidence intervals did you make? How many of them contained the population proportion 0.5? What percent of the confidence intervals contained the population proportion 0.5?

30. How many of the confidence intervals did not contain the population proportion 0.5? What percent of the confidence intervals did not contain the population proportion 0.5?

31. As the number of random samples increased, did the percentage of confidence intervals that contained the population proportion get closer or farther away from 90%? Why do you think that is?

32. Here is the definition of 90% confidence: “90% of confidence intervals contain the population parameter and 10% do not contain the population parameter”. Explain this definition of 90% confidence in your own words.

Socw 6301 Week 3

Research resulting in physical or emotional trauma for participants, without informed consent, is undoubtedly an ethical violation. However, other situations are not as clear. One of the reasons for debate about ethical issues is because ethics are opinions informed by people’s values, and people have different values. There may not be one definitive right answer. To get closer to an answer, though, researchers dialogue with themselves and submit their proposals to authorities such as IRBs and ethics committees for checks and balances.

Ethical and cultural considerations impact every stage of the research process—from problem identification to recruitment of participants to dissemination of findings. For this Discussion, you view and respond to a scenario involving research study recruitment. As you do so, consider which, if any, ethical mandates or standards are violated.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Learning Resources on ethics and cultural competence related to research study recruitment.
  • View the Parker Family video in the Learning Resources, paying close attention to ethical and cultural considerations.

By Day 3

If you were the researcher for the study in question: Would you see any issue with how the social worker presented your study to the client? Explain why or why not. Be sure to address ethical and cultural considerations and apply the NASW Code of Ethics in your post.
