Company policy dictates that business research documents be formatted in a specific way and include the following elements: research strategies, research methods, data analysis, and business strategies based on findings. There is also an expectation that the research results will be presented in settings outside of the R&D department. This may be in the form of a summary document or a presentation.

Philosophy- Ethical Reasoning

/in /by

For today’s class, choose a case from the list below. Use that case to prepare a presentation, following the format at the end of the list.

On your final two slides, construct an argument for EACH  side of the question raised by the case (one for, one against) using an  ethical theory or principle as the main reason for or against the  morality of having an abortion in the case. Try to use ideas from the  four articles that you have read to strengthen your argument(s).

So: two valid, defensible arguments, one on each slide.

Then, in a sentence or two for EACH premise (one and two) in EACH argument, suggest how one might defend that premise.

To choose your case: Below is s set of difficult instances of  abortion, taken from the BBC website  http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/philosophical/difficultcases.shtml  (downloaded 2/14/2016):

Cases where there is a serious medical problem

Cases where the child will not be ‘normal’

Cases where the pregnancy is entirely unintentional

  • pregnancy caused by rape
  • pregnancy caused by failure of contraception where the potential parents are not to blame
  • pregnancy caused by a badly done vasectomy
  • pregnancy caused by the parties not knowing that sexual intercourse causes pregnancy
    • such cases would include persons who are not mentally capable of understanding this

Cases where the pregnancy is unintentional but where a risk was taken

  • pregnancy caused by failure of contraception within the known risk of that contraceptive method
  • pregnancy caused by carelessness in the use of contraception
  • pregnancy caused by failure to use contraception

Cases where the pregnancy has lifestyle consequences

  • having a child would prevent the mother achieving some life objective
  • the mother is incapable of looking after a child
  • the mother is incapable of looking after another child
  • another child would lower the family’s standard of living
  • there is not enough food to support the child
  • having another child would result in criminal proceedings against the parent
  • the child is not of the preferred sex
  • coping with the child’s disability would damage the family’s lifestyle
  • coping with the child’s disability would disadvantage existing family children

Choose ONE of these cases, and write a short case (either from your  experience, from the news, or a fictionalized case) based on that one  instance. Then prepare a presentation based on that case, following the  usual format:

Summarize the case or caselet.

What is the ethical issue(s) in this case?

What are some possible solutions to the case?

What reasons support those solutions?

What do you think should be done, and why?

What are some questions for class discussion?

For your final two slides, follow the directions above (two  arguments, one for each side of the case). Show how an ethical theory  (or two) that we have studied or read about might help you with this  case.

Please turn this Powerppoint presentation in to Moodle.

Your presentation should consist of a minimum of 12 slides of content, and the following: a title slide, an introductory slide, a conclusions slide, and a references slide.

As an employee of a company that is considering investing in a foreign economy, you have been asked to research a country and make a presentation to your colleagues about an area of economic concern in the country.

  • Select a country in Africa, Asia, or Latin America to research.
  • Select 1 of the following economic concerns to research:
    • Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
    • Unemployment
    • Inflation
    • Quantities of specific goods and services
    • Exports and imports
  • Research data sets for the one economic concern within the country that you have chosen.
  • Prepare 1 presentation consisting of 10-12 Power Point slides and answer the following questions:
    • What are 2–3 relationships between the economic concern you selected and that specific country’s economy?
    • Support your discussion of the trends with statistical evidence.
  • Use graphs and/or data tables of the variables you chose in the discussion.
    • What trends do you see in the data sets? Please explain.
    • Cite all of your sources and include a reference list

Your research and slides will form the basis for your Unit 8 Submission Assignment paper, so please be sure to be careful and thorough in your research.

Present your information, with appropriate pictures/graphics, in a PowerPoint presentation. The main topics or bullet points should appear on the slides with supporting visuals, while the Speaker Notes area (the box located at the bottom of each slide which allows you to type in notes) should be used to go into more depth regarding these main topics. Make sure the notes include information from the sources you have discovered in your research. This is very important element of your assignments as it will provide both you and your audience with supporting explanations that the bullet posts simply can’t convey.

Your presentation should consist of a minimum of 12 slides of content, and the following: a title slide, an introductory slide, a conclusions slide, and a references slide.

Objectives:

1. Use the concepts of aggregate at risk and health disparities for assessing needs and planning care.

2. Describe social determinants of health that impact the health disparity of the at-risk aggregate.

3. Determine the health status of the at-risk aggregate by interpreting demographic, epidemiological, and statistical data.

3. County Health Rankings: How healthy is your County (Links to an external site.)

4. CDC Sortable Stats

5. Formulate three prioritized outcomes with intervention strategies at each level of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary) for the at-risk aggregate.

Select an at-risk aggregate and develop a power point presentation that addresses the following areas:

· Provide demographic and epidemiological data for the at-risk aggregate

· Specify if you are focusing on Prevention or Management of the health disparity (e.g., prevention of diabetes in Latino teens between the ages 13-18 attending Seminole County Schools; versus management of diabetes in Latino teens between the age of 13- 18 attending Seminole County Schools)

· Introduce the aggregate and the associated disparity. Include demographics, epidemiological and statistical data.  Pictures and graphics add to the presentation. Be sure to cite the sources of these materials and be aware of copyright issues!!
