Evaluate the ethical outcomes that result from the position you take on the issue and explain how those outcomes would influence society and culture.

Final Research Project
The topic of your project needs to be a contemporary societal problem, such as healthcare reform, immigration reform, privacy rights, euthanasia, First Amendment Rights, stem cell research, capital punishment, corporate prisons, legalizing drugs, ageism, animal rights, cloning, prayer in schools, racial profiling, recycling/conservation, sexism, outsourcing jobs, workplace bullying, etc. The topic must focus on a single aspect, as in “How far do corporations intrude into the private lives of their employers?” or “The social costs of financing the distribution of custom-designed drugs.” You may suggest another topic to use, but the instructor must approve the topic during the Week Two Discussion.
The Final Research Project will present research relating the responsibilities of a critical thinker to contemporary society. In this assignment, you will do the following:
•    Research one aspect of a contemporary social problem.
•    Define the problem.
•    Propose a possible solution for the problem.
•    Create an argument that supports your thesis position. You should take on the perspective of a critically thinking researcher. The argument must present a thesis statement and evidence to support the thesis statement.
•    Evaluate the ethical outcomes that result from the position you take on the issue and explain how those outcomes would influence society and culture.
•    Interpret statistical data from at least two peer-reviewed scholarly sources.
•    Evaluate evidence using the following standards: validity, reliability, and bias related to the chosen topic and accurately identify strengths and weaknesses.
Research and Define the Problem
You must take on the perspective of your major field of study and explain in your paper what that perspective is and how it informs your view of the topic. The topics listed above are far too broad to write about in 10–12 pages (3,300–3,900 words). Instead, you must choose a narrowly defined thesis and approach it from the perspective of your field.
Example: If you are an economics major, and you are interested in immigration reform, you should approach a very specific aspect of immigration reform through the lens of economic theory and practice. A specific thesis question would not be, “How does illegal immigration influence the U.S. economy?” One could write thousands of pages on such a topic. Instead, a better question would be, “How do illegal immigrant hotel workers in Chicago impact the economy of Northern Illinois?” You would then want to do the research and determine the positive and negative impacts they have, ultimately trying to conclude how illegal immigration in this area should be approached ethically.
How to Hone Your Thesis: It is important that you start your research early in this course. Try to find the most important contemporary questions and theories in your field of study and then align the most important questions with a very specific aspect of the general topics above. For example, if you are a psychology major, you might want to start thinking within the realm of healthcare reform or aspects of mental health and criminality in the prison system.
Your Argument
You must present a complete argument, including a major claim with at least five points of evidence, information, or data that will prove the claim.
•    The thesis statement must be
o    A clear, simple declarative sentence as the first or last sentence in the opening paragraph of the essay.
o    Of such a nature that it can be substantiated, corroborated, verified, and proved through appeal to primary or secondary academic research source materials.
•    The introductory paragraph must
o    Present the thesis statement, an explanation for the importance of the topic, and its relation to the student’s field of study.
•    Beliefs, opinions, and personal opinions must not be introduced at any point in the essay.
•    All beliefs and opinions should be supported with academic evidence. Sweeping generalizations with no supporting academic evidence do not reflect adequate critical thinking skills.
•    Do not include rhetorical questions in your essays. All the questions that are pertinent to your project need to be answered in your essay and your answers again need to be supported with evidence from peer-reviewed journal articles and academically published books.
Attributes of Good Critical Thinking in Papers
•    Your paper should include academic sources that explain multiple sides of the issue.
•    The evidence that you use should come from high-level researchers engaged in your field of study.
•    Your interpretations of the evidence should be objective and state the conclusions and theses presented in the evidence clearly and fairly.
•    Your paper should place the various forms of evidence in relation to one another and demonstrate why one form or perspective is stronger than the other positions that one could take on the issue.
•    Your paper should point out the limitations of current evidence and attempt to indicate areas for future research.
Ethical Outcomes of the Position You Take
After you have defined the problem and created an argument about how one ought to respond to the issue, you need to explain the ethical outcomes of the position you have taken. This should again be in relation to the field of study in which you are working. There might be different ethical outcomes that result from your analysis. For example, going back to the example issue above, from an economic standpoint, illegal immigrants might contribute positively to the economy of Northern Illinois in a specific number of ways. Thus, an economist who believes that positive impact to the economy is the greatest good would say that one should promote the use of illegal immigrants. However, because these workers are often paid less than others and eliminate jobs that could be done by residents of Chicago, there could be other negative ethical outcomes that would outweigh the positive impacts to the economy. It is your goal to draw out the ethical implications of your thesis and explain the underlying rationale that is the foundation for your claim that one action is better than another.
•    Critical thinkers are those who can outline the positive and negative ethical impacts of their positions. In addition, they are able to provide a rationale for why they believe a specific position is the right position, even when it leads to negative outcomes.
•    Critical thinkers are also able to be honest and objective about the limitations and gray areas that pertain to their theses.

Human Trafficking

 

Human trafficking is the exchange of people, most ordinarily with the end goal of sexual servitude, constrained work, or business sexual abuse for the trafficker or others. May include forcing an individual in the connection of constrained marriage, or the extraction of organs or tissues, including for surrogacy and ova evacuation. Human trafficking can happen inside of a nation or trans-broadly. Human trafficking is a wrongdoing against the individual as a result of the infringement of the casualty’s privileges of development through intimidation and as a result of their business misuse. Most commonly known as the exchange of individuals, including the development of the individual starting from one point to the other. Human trafficking is a global ethical issue that disregards the rights that the individual, ethically, is obligated to by society.

There are numerous forms of human trafficking including but not listing sex, labor and/or children trafficking. Relocating or importing of foreigners includes the acquirement for monetary or other material advantage of illicit section of a man into a State of which that individual is not a national or occupant. For all intents and purposes each nation on the planet is influenced by these wrongdoings. The test for all nations, rich and poor, is to focus on the culprits who misuse frantic individuals and to secure and help casualties of trafficking and pirated vagrants, a large number of whom bear unbelievable hardships in their offer for a superior life.

As the main United Nations substance concentrating on the criminal equity component of these wrongdoings, the work that UNODC does to battle human trafficking and the pirating of transients is supported by the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime and its conventions on trafficking in persons and vagrant sneaking (UNODC 2016).

John Rawls’, an American political philosopher in the liberal tradition, principles of legitimacy heighten the essential basic right of all individuals to receive reasonable pluralism. Accentuating three fundamental ideas citizens should be free, be equal to the rest of the population and receive a fair system of cooperation. His hypothesis of equity as reasonableness imagines a general public of free natives holding meet essential rights coordinating inside of a libertarian monetary framework. His record of political progressivism addresses the authentic utilization of political force in a majority rule government, intending to show how continuing solidarity might be accomplished in spite of the assorted qualities of perspectives that free foundations permit. His compositions on the law of people groups extend these speculations to liberal remote arrangement, with the objective of envisioning how a quiet and tolerant global request may be conceivable (Wenar 2012).

Social Justice is the reasonable and only connection between the individual and society. Human trafficking disregards the rights that the individual ethically is obligated to by society. This is measured by the unequivocal and implicit terms for the circulation of riches, open doors for individual movement and social benefits. In Western and also in more established Asian societies, the idea of social equity has frequently alluded to the procedure of guaranteeing that people satisfy their societal parts and get what was their due from society. In the current worldwide grassroots developments for social equity, the accentuation has been on the breaking of implicit obstructions for social portability, the formation of wellbeing nets and financial equity. Social equity appoints rights and obligations in the establishments of society, which empowers individuals to get the essential advantages and weights of participation. The important establishments regularly incorporate tax assessment, social protection, general wellbeing, government funded school, open administrations, work law and regulation of business sectors, to guarantee reasonable conveyance of riches, equivalent open door and balance of result (CESJ 2016).

To Rawls, social equity is about guaranteeing the security of equivalent access to freedoms, rights, and opportunities, and additionally dealing with the minimum advantaged individuals from society (Robinson 2016).

Personally, Human Trafficking is a prime topic to evaluate on grounds that it affects the individual at harms way but it also affects the population of the globe as a whole. The basic value behind social justice is the care owed to each individual; preserving and maintaining the human rights of each person according to the Universality of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Human trafficking is a grand ethical social justice issue that occurs globally this research will formally evaluate how said topic affects the trafficked individual focusing greatly on children in each continent., the financial and lawful implications.

/in /by
This discussion assignment requires you to submit at least four posts: an initial post, two reply posts to fellow students in threads other than your own, and a revised post.
Prepare: In preparation for your first post in this discussion, you will become familiar with the case of Perdue Farms by means of the material listed under Required Resources (Generally). You will also find more material under Required Resources (Per Subject Heading) because the specific task for this discussion is to examine this case with an eye for any one of the following four subject headings in business ethics: (1) the environment, (2) advertising, (3) consumer safety and (4) moral responsibility. You must select one of these subject headings and your selection will be the specific focus of your work for your discussion. Accordingly, you will be responsible to complete the readings and videos listed under your chosen subject heading.
Reflect: If you choose the environment subject heading, reflect on the sheer density of chickens raised at any given time in the Perdue facilities. The disposal of their discarded remains and their processing for distribution, either individually and most definitely together, pose a number of environmental concerns.

If you choose the advertising subject heading, reflect on how the two videos on Perdue farms present the sharp contrast between the way the company presents its product and the way in which it has been discovered to run its chicken farms. Consider whether this is an example of failure to provide truth in advertising and how you would support such a stance.

If you choose the consumer safety subject heading, reflect on the way in which chickens raised in factory farms risks consumer safety. These might include (a) bacterial contamination, (b) the effects of antibiotics on the meat that is consumed, or (c) the release of adrenaline, cortisone, and other chemicals resulting from the acute stress endured by factory farm animals, which then becomes part of the meat that is later consumed by humans.

If you choose the moral responsibility heading, reflect on the stewardship role that may fall upon humans toward non-human animals. Can we utilize them as mere means to an end (for entertainment, companionship, or food)? Or do we have special obligations toward them (e.g., not to mistreat or torture them and to slaughter them quickly and without stress) because they are sentient beings?

Once you have completed the indicated readings and videos, reflect on the ethical theories that we have covered in the discussions thus far and identify one that you want to apply for your analysis in your discussion post.

Also, reflect on the regulations (or lack thereof) in the factory farming industry in order to be able to examine how our nation’s laws affect the operations of the business. You will need to research the applicable laws on the factory farming industry.

Finally, since Perdue Farms is an American corporation, reflect on the mixed economic system in the United States in order to articulate the setting for the operations of factory farming, and then, be able to analyze the ethical actions of Perdue given this setting.
Write: In the first part of your initial post, you will need to introduce the Perdue case within the particular subject heading that you have chosen. In this introduction, you will also need to (1) articulate the relevant characteristics of our mixed economic system and (2) present the regulations for the factory farming industry. These will provide the setting for you to be able to examine how the nation’s laws affect its operations.

In the second part of your initial post, present your analysis of the problem in a way that identifies which entities (Perdue as a corporation, the economic system in the USA, the regulatory control of the state, or all of these) have a role in the problem that you have presented. In your analysis, you must assess the negative effects of the interplay between business activity and one of the following: the environment, advertising, consumer safety, or corporate social responsibility. Your focus must be an ethical analysis of this interplay, and it must be well supported by reliable and/or scholarly sources by clearly identifying the ethical theory that you are applying in your analysis.
Revise: Read the feedback provided by your professor to your initial post, either directly to you or to your fellow students. Use this as an opportunity to learn from your professor, especially with regard to the best ways to apply the course material and your research to your analysis. On the basis of what you have learned in this process, post an improved revision of your initial post that applies the additional knowledge that you have gained.

Remember that your grade depends on the quality of your initial and revised responses, not just on the submission of an attempt at improvement. It is thus to your advantage to post the best initial post you can and then to also improve that best effort as much as you can through revision. Taking this process seriously will help you develop the skills you need to do well on the Final Project.
Requirements for Your Initial Post:

  • Your initial post should be at least 400 words in length and have citations and references in APA notation. It should address the prompt in its entirety. This means that you should not split your response to the prompt in multiple posts. Your examination should be both thorough and succinct. This is a combination that demands time and thought, so give yourself sufficient time to draft and revise.
  • Please be advised that until you post, you will not see what your fellow students are posting. Once you submit your post, you will be able to view the posts from your other classmates. You can then proceed to reply to at least two different threads based on the required material for this discussion.
  • Your list of references for your initial post should include the videos and the other required reading material for this discussion, the Instructor Guidance, and any other announcements presented to you by your professor. List all the course material that informed your work in the list of references and cite these too where appropriate. In addition, your references should include any other sources that you consult to inform yourself (but not Wikipedia or similar sources).
  • Your initial post for this discussion should be submitted no later than the end of Thursday (11:59 pm, U.S. Mountain time).
Requirements for Replies to Other Threads:

  • At least two of the four posts required should be in the form of replies to fellow classmates in threads other than your own.
  • Each of your replies should be at least 200 words and informed by the course material. As such, the replies must have citations and references in APA notation. Your list of references for each reply should include all of the course material that has informed your reply, in addition to any research that you have obtained on your own.
  • Your replies should focus on the specific examination presented by your fellow student, and these should include an examination of whether or not the characteristics of the ethical theory and/or economic system were identified well, and whether or not their application and analysis was also carried out successfully. Providing such an examination is not an attack on your fellow student but an attempt to work together with your fellow student toward the better understanding of the ethical theories employed, as well as their application.
Requirements for Revising Your Initial Post:

  • Submit a revision of your initial post by either replying to your own post, or to the feedback provided to you by your professor.
  • There is no minimum word requirement for your revised initial post. But you should always explain the reasons for revising your post so that it is clear what you are doing. If you are revising only a few words, or an ethical theory, you should not just submit a post with vague language such as: “duty ethics works better here” or “I did not consider the economic system.” It is important to recognize that no one can read your mind so you need to provide the setting for your revision (Why? What prompted it? What course material informed you?) , and it is important to write in clear language and complete sentences.
  • Your revised initial post is your chance to correct any oversights or errors in your initial post, or show your improved understanding of the material and its applications to the case at hand. You may, for example, come to the realization that another ethical theory is better than the one that you initially chose. Accordingly, your revision should indicate that you chose another ethical theory and an explanation why you find the replacement more suitable. You may also find the need to revise any relevant portions of your analysis. Or, you might have realized that your conclusion did not take into account important factors necessary for your evaluation of the situation.
  • You should maximize the improvement of your initial post by employing your professor’s feedback as a guide. Keep in mind that you may not always receive direct feedback from your professor. But your professor will have submitted feedback in the discussion to other posts. So read your professor’s feedback whether it is addressed to you directlyor to other fellow students. This will give you much to think about and apply to your own post.
  • If your professor or a fellow classmate responds to your revised initial post, and on this basis, you find good reason to submit yet another revision, then by all means do so. The more you improve your initial post, the more you will benefit both in terms of your learning and most likely your grade.

Assignment 3: Exploring Your Culture

Part of successfully exploring other cultures is having a solid foundation in the tenets of one’s culture. This assignment will have you evaluate key components of your culture. When you begin exploring the main foundation of other cultures, you will be able to identify similarities or dissimilarities to your own. This is also a good self-ethnographic activity.

Develop a presentation on the cultural identity with which you align yourself. Consider the following:

  • Describe the culture you identify with.
  • Explain the major components of your culture.
  • Explain the various symbols associated with your culture including their meanings.
  • Describe the other cultures you are integrated with besides your own. What are the similarities and differences between these cultures with which you are connected?
  • Evaluate the roles that race, class, age, and gender play in your culture.

Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.

You may use images and other media to present your perspective. Use the speakers’ notes to explain your statements in further detail.

Develop a 10-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.ppt. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.ppt.
