After reading Chapter 2 of the textbook, watch the 2000 feature film “Boiler Room” (written and directed by Ben Younger), which is available on Amazon Prime Video, You Tube, Vudu, iTunes, etc. Plan ahead to ensure you have time to view the film at least once before beginning your paper.

Essay Prompt:  

There are numerous examples of ethically ambiguous practices featured in the film. These practices may include actions, affirmative statements, omissions and/or schemes. Identify and explain one specific ethically ambiguous practice, including a brief description of the parties involved and how the practice worked. Then, utilizing the ethics material discussed in class and Chapter 2 of the textbook, analyze the ethics of the one specific practice you are focusing on. Your analysis should:

(1) Include two of the “Theories of Ethics” (you must choose from Utilitarianism, Deontology, and Justice) and two of the “Ethics Traps” presented in Chapter 2. 

(2) Define and explain the theories and traps you are utilizing.

(3) Apply the theories and traps to analyze the ethics of the one specific practice you are focusing on.

(4) Use specific conversations and evidence from the film to assist in your analysis. 

Your paper must be written in essay format; in other words, it should not be divided into individual answers to the above questions. Your paper must include an introduction and a conclusion, and the bulk of your paper should focus on analysis, not recitation of facts. There is no need to consult sources beyond your textbook, your class notes, and the film itself (outside research is, in fact, discouraged). Your paper must be a minimum of 800 and a maximum of 1200 words, and must be double-spaced, utilizing Times Roman 12-point font and 1 inch margins. In the upper left-hand corner of the first page of your paper, list your name, the course (BSL 212), the date, and the exact word count of your paper. Direct quotes from the film or the textbook must be placed in quotation marks and the source should be noted in parentheses directly after the quote (Boiler Room for the film, and Mann, Roberts, followed by the page number, for the textbook). Failure to comply with these specific instructions will negatively impact your grade, as reflected in the Analytical Paper Grading Rubric posted on Blackboard. Your Analytical Paper must be submitted in Word format on Blackboard under the designated “Assignments” tab no later than the start of class on June 7, 2021.  Please note that the papers will be run through Safe Assignment, which will compare them against the entire Internet and our internal database to help detect plagiarism.  There is no makeup for this Analytical Paper; it is not subject to the quiz make up policy articulated in the course syllabus.  

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.

In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3.
• Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
• Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 3A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

Submit Part 3A and 3B of your Evidence-Based Project.

1.5 pages single spaced, include References and when necessary, images with captions. Put all images at the end of the paper (after the References) with a caption. Images do not count in the page limit.

This integrative assignment requires you to evaluate and critique the various macro components that comprise a network. In your paper be sure to include:

• A comparison of two or more network operating systems and the appropriate criteria for choosing the one appropriate for a specific application.
• A discussion of capacity planning and how failure rates (Mean Time Between Failure) and repair estimates (Mean Time to Repair) factor into the planning process.
• An analysis of how hardware components such as switches, routers, bridges, and multiplexers can be used in capacity planning.
• An assessment of various backup strategies including onsite and offsite.
• An assessment of risks including both physical and software attacks and how these can be managed.
• A discussion of how environmental scanning for new technologies such as IPv6 plays a formative role in network management.

Support your paper with a minimum of (4) scholarly and (4) technical resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

CASE STUDY: Family Member with Alzheimer’s Disease: Mark and Jacqueline Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown children who live in another state. Jacqueline’s mother has moved in with the couple because she has Alzheimer’s disease. Jacqueline is an only child and always promised her mother that she would care for her in her old age. Her mother is unaware of her surroundings and often calls out for her daughter Jackie when Jacqueline is in the room. Jacqueline reassures her mother that she is there to help, but to no avail. 

Jacqueline is unable to visit her children on holidays because she must attend to her mother’s daily needs. She is reluctant to visit friends or even go out to a movie because of her mother’s care needs or because she is too tired. Even though she has eliminated most leisure activities with Mark, Jacqueline goes to bed at night with many of her caregiving tasks unfinished. She tries to visit with her mother during the day, but her mother rejects any contact with her daughter. Planning for the upcoming holidays seems impossible to Mark, because of his wife’s inability to focus on anything except her mother’s care. 

Jacqueline has difficulty sleeping at night and is unable to discuss plans even a few days in advance. She is unable to visit friends and is reluctant to have friends visit because of the unpredictable behavior of her mother and her need to attend to the daily care. 

Reflective Questions:

1. How do you think this situation reflects Jacqueline’s sense of role performance? 

2. How do you think that Jacqueline may be contributing to her own health?
