 Topic:

What were the benefits to the United Kingdom when they were in the EU? What were the drawbacks to the United Kingdom when they were in the EU? How has all of this changed since Brexit? 

 

Research Paper: This is a graduate course and students will be expected to research and write papers summarizing in their own words what they have found on current topics from the weekly readings. Research is a theoretical review of relevant literature and application of findings in the literature to a topic related to a specific industry, field, or business problem.

The research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade or academic journals. While Blogs, Wikipedia, encyclopedias, course textbooks, popular magazines, newspaper articles, online websites, etc. are helpful for providing background information, these resources are NOT suitable resources for this research assignment.

Please Note: The UC Library staff are very helpful with assisting students in using the UC Online Library journal database. Please contact them if you have issues. In addition, the instructor has provided additional resources, including a research tutorial, in the “Course Resources” folder in the “Content” area of the course.

Assignment Requirements:

  1. Choose a research topic from the chapter readings or from the list provided by your professor.
  2. Research/find a minimum at least four (4), preferably five (5) or more, different peer-reviewed articles on your topic from the University of the Cumberlands Library online business database. The article(s) must be relevant and from a peer-reviewed source. While you may use relevant articles from any time frame, current/published within the last five (5) years are preferred. Using literature that is irrelevant or unrelated to the chosen topic will result in a point reduction.
  3. Write a four (4) to five (5) page double spaced paper in APA format discussing the findings on your specific topic in your own words. Note – paper length does not include cover page, abstract, or references page(s).
  4. Structure your paper as follows:
    1. Cover page
    2. Overview describing the importance of the research topic to current business and professional practice in your own words.
    3. Purpose of Research should reflect  the potential benefit of the topic to the current business and professional practice and the larger body of research.
    4. Review of the Literature summarized in your own words. Note that this should not be a “copy and paste” of literature content, nor should this section be substantially filled with direct quotes from the article. A literature review is a summary of the major points and findings of each of the selected articles (with appropriate citations). Direct quotations should be used sparingly. Normally, this will be the largest section of your paper (this is not a requirement; just a general observation).
    5. Practical Application of the literature. Describe how your findings from the relevant research literature can shape, inform, and improve current business and professional practice related to your chosen topic.
    6. Conclusion in your own words
    7. References formatted according to APA style requiremen

Unit 2 Assignment: Supported Paragraph Submission Link

In this assignment, you will be creating one paragraph in which you respond to a question with evidence and practice writing in the third-person perspective.Read the  assignment sheet – Alternative Formats for the detailed instructions, grading criteria, and grading rubric. 

Overview: 

Read this article: Debate on Face Masks Divides Air-Travel Industry • Gangitano, A. (2020, August 6). Debate on face masks divides air-travel industry. The Hill, https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/510791-debate-on-face-masks-dividesair-travel-industry 

You will be creating one paragraph that answers the following question: 

• Why or why not should passengers be required to wear a face mask on a plane? 

You will write that paragraph in third person (he, she, they, one, it, people) and not use first (me, us, our, we, my, I) or second person (you, your). Most academic writing is done in third person rather than first or second person because the writing is more objective. 

The key to this assignment is to make sure that the seven-to-nine sentence paragraph you write only has one topic and includes evidence to support that topic. Review the Citing Evidence interactive in this unit for information on how to include a direct quote in your work. Your evidence should go in the middle of the paragraph so that you can completely introduce it and explain how it supports your topic. (See step-by-step instructions about creating a paragraph with evidence.) 

Instructions: 

Answer the question above in one paragraph comprised of at least seven (7) to nine (9) sentences. You should use one direct quote from the article. 

1. First, begin your paragraph with a clear topic sentence that states where you stand on the question above. 

2. Next, include supporting sentences that explain and prove your topic. Next, remember to not use the words “me,” “I,”“us,” “we,” “our,” “you,” and “your”. 

3. Then, in the center of your paragraph, include a direct quote from the reading as one piece of evidence to support your topic with an in-text citation that looks like this: (Gangitano, 2020, p. #). 

4. Finally, comment on and explain the quotation and wrap up your paragraph with a concluding sentence.

Thinking about the central tenets of the world’s major religions, such as the Jewish requirement to love God and do good deeds; the Christian prescription to follow the “golden rule;” the Buddhist emphasis on, among other things, right belief, right resolve, and right conduct; and the Confucian principle of “treating those who are subordinate to you as you would like to be treated by people superior to yourself,” list and discuss all the similarities between the world’s major religions.

What beliefs and practices do they have in common?

What guidelines for everyday life do they share?

What similar emotional comforts do they provide for their followers and their society?

Finally, what makes Christianity different in its emphasis on faith rather than works?

respond no.1

The beliefs and practices that the world’s major religions have in common are the fact that they are based on the spiritual/incorporeal world and by having institutions. Religions around the world also have ancient artifacts as well as structures, in which they mark the past and serve as a foundation to a person’s faith. The world’s major religions also bring about ceremonies and rituals in order for those who are a part of a religion to gather and thereby have a sense of community. Those who are religious also share acts of altruism and compassion toward others. It is important to note that while they may be critical and overly baring at times they are still influenced by their values, which are by and large positive. All the major religions have extremists within the balance, whether they are influencing/manipulating others or by restricting themself. Following, some would abide by celibacy, solidarity, etc., which was more common in the past. The guidelines for everyday life for those who practice religion are to follow their beliefs and to have faith in the system. Each religion has a golden rule in which Buddhism goes against hurting others (similar to Taoism in a sense) and Christianity deals with (love, generosity, and displaying acts of courage), serving as examples out of many. The guidelines that they share may also relate to bringing about acts of kindness as well as guiding others to the righteous path (only if such ideologies are positive in nature). 

                                    Emotional comforts that are provided to those who follow dogmatic beliefs in a society usually gain a sense of community, thereby creating further bonds. Religion can also improve upon habits such as stopping oneself from being an addict as well as bring about a sense of hope, and purpose in one’s life. Religious institutions benefit off of such individuals as they provide for the church. While religion is important, it is significant to take into consideration that one must have a balance, in which one should not be taken advantage of thereby being independent and creatively oriented (separate from the religion). While religion does not have much sway in today’s government (in developed countries), religions in the past held absolute power and authority. Such an aforementioned factor has since changed, in which most governments are based upon the rule of law. Thus, governments all over the world try to accommodate individuals who are in a religion. Such an aspect brings about further bonds between denominations. It is said that an individual can be ‘saved’ so long as they maintain faith and works. Christianity is deeply rooted in faith apart from a person’s deeds. Thus, there are those who are reliant on faith, and those who are reliant on works (added onto to the existing faith). One is stringent while the other is open to change. While both have different approaches on the matter, they are seen as legitimate in nature since they are both integral parts of Christianity. Such prospects are different from other world regions since Christianity is extensive and open to change and interpretation. I retrieved my information from an online source (coming from gotquestions.org). All in all, the world religions are more similar than an individual would initially make it out to be since they are reliant on communities and belief systems that bring about a sense of purpose, etc., 

repond no.2

All of the major religions of the world share a significant number of defining characteristics and focus on surprisingly similar ideas. As the prompt stated, the central tenets of many of these religions are focused on bettering oneself and those around them through good deeds and a strict adherence to the established principles and guidelines. As explained in the slides, “religion is an institutionalized system of symbols, beliefs, values, and practices by which a group of people interprets and responds to what they feel is sacred…” With that in mind, the list of similarities is exceptionally long, regardless of how different they appear on the surface. The messages and the ways in which they are delivered varies wildly, and as a result, there are varying interpretations and spin offs within each respective religion as well.

Many religions follow some form of the golden rule (or whichever name you are familiar with,) which keeps each individual accountable for their own actions through a message of treating others with the same level of respect you’d like to be treated with. The general concept of honoring one’s parents and/or elders is also common practice throughout varying religions. Additionally, each religion tends to hold specific rules or parameters for which those who practice should abide by. This list of rules is typically laid out in whichever major religious text the faith refers to, for example, The Bible, The Quran, The Torah, and the Talmud, etc. Christianity places an enhanced emphasis on faith over work and states that salvation is found through grace, which in some respect negates the need for action. However, I believe that faith and works go hand in hand, and mainly through our actions can we express our religious beliefs and personal values.

THIS HAS TO BE DONE WITHIN THE HOUR………. 

do the following: 

Please do the following: 

Can race or ethnic background ever be a valid consideration when conducting law enforcement activity? Which court cases specifically pertain to this topic? Please identify them, describe their relevance to racial profiling, and explain the court ruling.

—————————————————————————————————–

here is some information that may be use but you must find more!! 

The United States Department of Justice (and NOBLE) defines racial profiling as “any police-initiated action that relies on the race, ethnicity, or national origin, rather than the behavior of an individual or information that leads the police to a particular individual who has been identified as being, or having been, engaged in criminal activity.”

Racially biased policing is illegal. The authors use the term “racial profiling” throughout Chapter 13 instead of “racially biased policing” because it is a more commonly recognized term. Some would argue that “racially biased policing” is a better description of the phenomenon. Racially biased policing occurs when law enforcement officers inappropriately consider race or ethnicity in deciding with whom and how to intervene in an enforcement capacity (PERF Report, 2001).

During the 1990s, concerns about police use of racial profiling as a pretext to stop, question, search, and possibly arrest people, became a major focus of minority individuals and communities, as well as politicians and law enforcement. National survey results in the 1990s from both Blacks and Whites indicated that racial profiling was common in the United States. Survey respondents believed that police were routinely guilty of bias in their treatment of racial and ethnic minorities, and that such behavior had been going on for a long time.

Researchers explain that all people use prior events for information to make decisions. This involves a conscious and unconscious thought processes. An individual makes observations and selects data borne out of their past experiences and may add their own cultural and personal meanings or interpretations to it. He or she will typically draw conclusions based on their own beliefs and then take some form of action.

Likewise, officers use profiling to look for characteristics that indicate the probability of criminal acts, or factors that tend to correlate with dangerous or threatening behavior. For most law enforcement officers, these characteristics have been internalized based on experience and training. If an official suspect profile is used by an agency and the perpetrator is caught, the response is, “He or she fits the profile.” “Every person relies on profiling for a preliminary rating of their risks…” (Strauss, 2002).

In the absence of conclusive or specific details, profiling is the only way to narrow the amount of information from which to make decisions, including whether or not to stop a person for further investigation. A problem arises when profiling is not based on accurate data. When the meanings placed on observations are faulty or biased, the assumptions and conclusions may be incorrect. This can lead to inappropriate attitudes, behaviors, and actions (Strauss, 2002).

This leads to complaints by members of the community voicing their negative perceptions and lack of support for law enforcement officers. Members of minority groups are particularly alert to racial profiling because of its negative history. Some data shows that racial profiling continues, though much progress has been made. Contrary to this, some claim that racial profiling is a myth and that the majority of officers do not detain improperly. Others believe that citizens do not understand police procedures enough, or are overly sensitive and cannot judge.

Regardless of perception, the courts have ruled that “race or ethnic background may become a legitimate consideration when investigators have information on the subject of a particular suspect.” (U.S. v.Travis, 62 F. 3d 170, 1995). If for example, the officers know that a bank robber was White, the officers may limit their investigation to White subjects.

The Police Executive Research Forum has developed policies that also state that, “Officers will not consider race/ethnicity to establish reasonable suspicion or probable cause except when based on trustworthy, locally-relevant information that links a person or persons of a specific race/ethnicity to a particular unlawful incident(s).”
