I will post questions in the description

 
1.       Freedom of speech and expression are fundamental human rights that are protected under the U.S. Constitution. Commonly, defenses of these rights are grounded in appeals to autonomy (in order to act autonomously, we must have the freedom to express ourselves). Thus, restrictions on our freedom of expression correlate to restrictions on our autonomy. However, several authors cited within Chapter 4 recognize that sexual harassment can have a detrimental effect on autonomy. On the surface, there seems to be a tension between appeals to autonomy in defense of freedom of speech and expression and appeals to autonomy in order to justify restrictions on freedom of speech and expression, which may result in sexual harassment. Do you believe that there is a conflict between these two positions? How may such a conflict be balanced?
 
 
 
2.        Central to Duska’s discussion of whistle-blowing is his conception of loyalty. Do you find his account of loyalty convincing? What elements of it might you disagree with? What implications might an altered conception of loyalty have on his contention that whistle-blowing does not require moral justification?
 
 
 
 
 
3.       Epstein claims that the positions of both employers and employees are essentially even with regard to EAW. Do you find this argument convincing? Why, or why not?
 
 
 
4.       Because no job can ever be completely free from hazards, occupational safety requires a balancing of the interests of employees and employers. Using the ethical theories that are discussed in Chapter 3, defend a position regarding how these competing interests should be balanced from a moral perspective.
 
 
 
5.       Explain Holley’s position in “Information Disclosure in Sales.” Next, apply his arguments to the case study “Advice for Sale: How Companies Pay TV Experts for On-Air Product Mentions” On page 331 of the textbook. What would Holley likely conclude about this case? Why? Do you agree or disagree with Holley? Why
 
 
 
6.       John R. Boatright in “Individual Responsibility in the American Corporate System: Does Sarbanes-Oxley Strike the Right Balance?” argues that the primary purpose of laws governing corporate responsibility is deterrence. Do you agree with this interpretation? Why, or why not? Appeal to the ethical theories discussed in Chapter 6 to support your position.
 
 
 
7.       Consider the practices described by Carl Elliott in his essay “The Drug Pushers.” Provide two arguments in support of the practices described in that essay. Next, provide two arguments against the practices described in that essay. Where do you stand on this issue? Explain.
 
 
 
8.       Two articles in Chapter 6 raise doubts about the ethical problems that underlie insider trading, primarily relying on utilitarian reasoning to support their positions. Examine the practices of insider trading from the perspective of deontological reasoning. Does this lead to different conclusions regarding the moral permissibility of these practices? Explain.
 
 
 
9.       Explain Cooley’s argument in “Genetically Modified Organisms and Business Duties.” What would Cooley say about the activities of Monsanto and related in the case study “Monsanto’s Round-Up Ready Wheat”? In general, do you agree or disagree with Cooley? Why, or why not?
 
 
 
10.   In “Intellectual Property and Pharmaceutical Drugs: An Ethical Analysis,” Richard T. De George lays out what he comes to call the “Status Quo Approach” as a defense of copyright protection of pharmaceuticals. Do you find this argument persuasive regarding ethical pricing of pharmaceuticals? Why, or why not?
 
 
 
11.   In “Intellectual Property and the Information Age,” Richard T. De George begins by examining the case of Napster and the practice of sharing digital music over the Internet. He concludes by arguing that determining whether an action with regard to copyright protection is moral or immoral will depend on the balancing of competing conceptions and justifications for copyright protection. Using the positions that De George lays out, examine the case with which De George begins. Do you believe that this activity is morally justified or immoral? Why?
 
 
 
12.   In “Internet Content Providers and Complicity in Human Rights Abuse,” Jeffery D. Smith argues that while ICPs may be complicit in human rights abuse, they may strive to minimize their complicity. Do you believe that the strategies he imagines are sufficient to absolve ICPs of any moral wrongdoing that arises from their complicity in these abuses? Why, or why not? If not, what do you believe that ICPs should do?

SC President Clintons Interpretation on Governance and Reelection Campaign Essay

You will be writing a paper about how an incumbent president interpreted what happened in his first successful election to the White House, and how that shaped the way in which he governed and ran for reëlection.Choose a president other than Barack Obama and Donald Trump who came to office through election, rather than via the death or resignation of his predecessor, and then ran for another term.  I would recommend you look for one from the 20th or 21st century, since I expect you’ll find research materials easier to come by that way, but if you have a particular reason for wanting to choose one from earlier you are welcome to do so. Just so we’re all on the same page, the 20th or 21st century presidents who would qualify are: Taft, Wilson, Hoover, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush. First off, you’ll want to map (not literally) the broader debate over what happened in the election which put your president in the White House.  So you will want to read about the campaign itself, but more importantly, identify the stories that circulated at the time and in its aftermath about why the election turned out the way it did. Get a good grasp on who embraced and promoted which stories, and what their motives might be for doing so. Then situate the president himself in this debate. You will want to immerse yourself in the president’s understanding of how he was elected the first time, and do this by looking for his own statements, from speeches, interviews, memoirs, correspondence and diaries if those became available. You’ll also want to look at what those around him — advisers, campaign consultants, political allies and family members, among others — said about the election. Ultimately you’ll want to hone in on which stories the president embraced and believed. In some instances he will be direct and overt in this analysis. In other times, it will be implied or suggested. (For those presidents who lost campaigns for the White House before winning one, you may find find meaning in contrasting how they discuss their successful and unsuccessful runs.) Elsewhere I will want you to take note of both absence and emphasis. Which stories for his election does your president not address or invoke?  What did he ignore, discount or minimize, either directly or by implication? Did these stories, or points of emphasis within them, vary with the intended audience or did it shift over the course of his or her presidency?  You will characterize that story for me — use quotes as appropriate, but you should be synthesizing and summarizing in your own voice. Where useful, contrast your president’s analysis with the contemporaneous analysis of journalists, scholars, interest groups, political elites and others. (Don’t, however, make this a survey of everything anyone had to say about the election — draw in contrasts only where it illuminates something interesting or important about the president’s view.) Once you have that grounding, we’re interested first in how the president’s processing of these stories shaped the way he governed. What policy areas did he prioritize?  What types of proposals did he advance?  Did his take on the election affect the way he interacted with his own party and with the opposition?  What about his approach to the relative merits of legislative versus executive action? Next you’ll look at how the president’s processing of those same stories about his election shaped the way he ran for a second term. Can you see their influence on his campaign strategy, tactics or technology?  Did he try to adjust his ideological positioning or how he defined opponents? What about how he tried to assemble a winning coalition, or his areas of geographical or demographic emphasis?  In some of the above areas, you will find continuities rather than changes, and it’s good to note them but only if they are significant in light of the debate over how to interpret the elections. (For example: It’s not particularly interesting to me to learn you never leave the house with an umbrella. But I will be intrigued if you don’t bring an umbrella today after I heard you complaining yesterday about how terrible it was to be stuck outside in a surprise rainstorm.)Your citations can come in any form you choose (endnotes, footnotes, etc.) as long as you pick a style and stick to it consistently. Regardless of form, they should demonstrate that you consulted a wide and varied range of sources. Both your endnotes and the text of your paper should show that you engaged with the course readings.This project should test your research capability, your skills of analysis, and your ability to construct both narrative and argument.  I’ll consider all of those elements when grading.

The quality of the user experience is very important to the success

Assignment 4: User Frustration
Due Week 9 and worth 80 points
The quality of the user experience is very important to the success of an application. In the early days of computing, users often experienced long delays since computing power was poor and networks had comparatively slow throughput. Modern systems have largely eliminated these delays due to increased network and computing power, yet users still report a high level of frustration.
 
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

Describe three (3) reasons users are still frustrated with modern applications.
Suggest one (1) method for reducing the frustrations for each of the reasons you supplied in Question one (1).
Describe methods for determining if user frustration is caused by poor system design or from the natural frustration associated with learning a new software product.
Suggest at least three (3) methods to reduce the frustrations among the disabled population and how this population can be better served.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Describe the inherent design issues across HCI environments.
Explain the use of interaction devices.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in human-computer interaction.
Write clearly and concisely about HCI topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Unit 7 as: final projections

After you have read the chapters and lecture for this Unit, you are ready to prepare your financial projections in LivePlan. There are many sample business plans available within LivePlan and elsewhere. Take some time to look through their financial projections to get some ideas but keep in mind that just because they exist, doesn’t mean they are well done or “right.” Review them with a hefty amount of professional skepticism like an investor would. Make sure you do not copy someone else’s work as that is plagiarism and can result in serious sanctions and possibly an “F” for the course. 
Usually the best way to handle questions that you may have while doing this assignment, is to leave your comments in LivePlan in the areas where you are having difficulty. Then contact your instructor and tell them to look in LivePlan for your comments. This way your instructor can see exactly where in the projections your question pertains to.
After you have completed your projections, click on the “Benchmark” tab and see how your numbers compare to the industry averages. Don’t forget to choose the regions and size of companies for comparison. This benchmark data is just a guide and doesn’t necessarily mean that you should change your numbers. However, it can be helpful in identifying areas which may require further adjustment. This part needs to be reported in your Unit 7 DQ posting (through “editing” your initial response).
After you are done, click on the title of this assignment and leave a comment in the Submission text box to let your instructor know that your projections are ready for review. You will have two attempts on this assignment. Your grade will be based on the last attempt made prior to the due date.

Mary francis has just returned to her office after attending

Mary Francis has just returned to her office after attending preliminary discussions with investment bankers. Her last meeting regarding the intended capital structure of Apex went well, and she calls you into her office to discuss the next steps.

“We will need to determine the required return for our intended project so that we have a decision criteria defined for the project,” she says.
“Do you have the information I need to describe capital structure and to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?” you ask.
“I do,” she smiles. “We can determine the target WACC for Apex Printing, given these assumptions,” she says as she hands you a piece of paper.

Weights of 40% debt and 60% common equity (no preferred equity)
A 35% tax rate
Cost of debt is 8%
Beta of the company is 1.5
Risk-free rate is 2%
Return on the market is 11%

“Great,” you say. “Thanks.”
“Be sure to indicate how these costs of capital might be used to determine the feasibility of the capital project,” Mary says. “I want your recommendation about which is more appropriate to apply to project evaluation, too. Let me know what you think.”
“One more thing,” she says as she stands up to signal the end of the meeting. “You did a good job with the explanations you provided Luke the other day. Would you have time to define marginal cost of capitalfor me so I can include it in my discussions with investors? You seem to have a knack for making things accessible to nonfinancial folks.”
“No problem,” you say. “I’m glad my explanations are so useful!”

To recap, for this assignment, complete the following:

Describe capital structure.
Determine the WACC given the above assumptions.
Indicate how these might be useful to determine the feasibility of the capital project.
Recommend which is more appropriate to apply to project evaluation.
Define marginal cost of capital.

Discussion hiring practices and ethical responsibility | SPMT326

 On December 12, 2022, the University of Texas’ men’s basketball coach, Chris Beard, was arrested on a family violence (i.e., felony) charge. On the same day, Coach Beard was suspended without pay by the University of Texas’ executive administrators. In a released statement, the University of Texas’ officials indicated “The university takes matters of interpersonal violence involving members of its community seriously.”
On December 23, 2022, Beard’s fiancée and alleged victim, Randi Trew, disputed the December 12th incident. “Chris did not strangle me, and I told that to law enforcement that evening. Chris has stated that he was acting in self-defense, and I do not refute that. I do not believe Chris was trying to intentionally harm me in any way.”
While an on-going investigation into this incident was being conducted by the Travis County (Texas) District Attorney’s office, on January 5, 2023, the University of Texas’ executive administrators fired Chris Beard and relieved him of the men’s basketball coaching responsibilities. Beard’s seven-year guaranteed contract with the University of Texas had five years remaining. Interestingly, Beard’s contract included a clause where he could be terminated for cause if he was charged with a felony. The University of Texas’ vice president of legal affairs, Jim Davis, informed Beard’s attorney, Perry Minton, that Beard demonstrated “unacceptable behavior that makes him unfit to serve as head coach at our university.”
On February 15, 2023, Chris Beard’s felony domestic violence case was dismissed, in part because of the alleged victim’s wishes not to prosecute. The Travis County (Texas) District Attorney’s “office determined the charges could not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.”
On March 13, 2023, the University of Mississippi hired Chris Beard as their men’s head basketball coach.
Questions to be answered for Discussion: 

Please share your thoughts on the University of Texas’ firing of Chris Beard.
Was terminating Chris Beard an ethically sound decision for the University of Texas?
Also, please share your thoughts on the University of Mississippi’s hiring Chris Beard as their men’s basketball coach.
Was hiring Chris Beard an ethically sound decision for the University of Mississippi?
