Find a key scene and an anomaly from one of the 12 books in the three volumes of Georgia. Then, use 3 principles from the human rights book to evaluate the anomaly in five pages long following exactly the below instructions.

Attached are the following:

1- The 3 volumes of Georgia. Where to pick a key scene and an anomaly.

2-The human rights book. Where to use 3 principles to evaluate the anomaly.

3-The rubric named “A Philosophical Response to Fiction”, where to follow the instructions. It’s also written below.

Professor Instructions:

1-Find a key scene and an anomaly from one of the 12 books in the three volumes of Georgia. ( the 3 volumes are attached)

2-use 3 principles from the human rights book (attached) to evaluate the anomaly.

3-YOU MUST FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING RUBRIC EXACTLY:

What you need to do in order to fulfill this assignment is:

1- Create a summary sheet on the fictive piece that includes characters, plot, themes, and evaluation (for an example see: michaelboylan.net, blog, book reviews)—this will help you start your paper; it is not a part of your paper.

2- Isolate a single passage in the book that you feel is pivotal to the theme of the book (this passage can be consecutive, for example pages 10-22, or it can be constructed on a common theme, for example pages 135-137 & 192-195 & 238-240.

3- Briefly go through the scene highlighting character, plot, and tropes (metaphors, motifs, description, etc.)

4- Try to discern a particular point of view within the passage that mirrors the book

5- Decide whether you agree or disagree with this point of view

6- Set out the relevant practical and theoretical philosophical principles at stake and apply them to the problem.

7- Use 3 philosophical principles to help you create a positive or negative reaction to the author’s theme (in the small and the large realm). If it is positive, think of bringing up objectors and refute them. If it is negative, engage in a dialog with the author—ending up by rejecting position. The theme should be readily understandable from the scene you have chosen.

8- Reflect on the significance of your position. What abstract general points about the world have now been elucidated? * most important point. At least a page.

Rubric. If you represent all eight points sequentially in your paper you will earn some kind of “B” grade (so long as you are also close to 5 pages, i.e., within a half-page under or a full page over). To get a high “B” or an “A- “or “A” grade you will have to do well on the reflection bullet.

explain why countries have varying monetary governance economic, and the paper captures these variations ranging from the source of central banks’ authority to the policies they prioritize. For instance, Denmark stipulates the central bank’s role in the constitution and deviates from standard practice where statutes are the governing frameworks. Similarly, central banks in different countries have prioritized various fiscal policies to reflect their economies’ most pertinent needs. On this aspect, the post provides robust examples like the US’ handling of the 2008 crisis.

I tend to favor ethical decisions that will produce more good for the majority of people involved. Besides, the utilitarian theory allows me to justify my choices through the validity of what is morally right or wrong. The utilitarianism theory is appealing since it has the act notion that the end justified the means ((Velasquez, 2016). Also, the concept states that following the general rules that produce the best consequences will govern an individual’s actions.

According to Thomas Hobbes, all individuals are self-interested and competitive. Given this assessment of human nature, what does Hobbes think a state without government, or a state of nature, would be like? How can we get out of this state of nature according to Hobbes? Do you think that Hobbes is correct in his account of the origins of government?

I think that Hobbes is correct in the way he describes the origin of the government. His sentiments that governments were an ideal solution to the need for survival of humans is reliable. People are willing to pay taxes for government revenue if they see the same government meeting other needs that are beyond their level, for example, transport facilities, health services, subsidies, and loans in education. From this analysis, people are indeed willing to give up part of their freedom, self-interest, power, and resources and subject themselves to governing if it improves their survival rates and makes their lives more comfortable. The pool of resources, unity, and collaboration in having a unified government is beneficial to individuals and a primary reason for the origin of government. In conclusion, Hobbes believes that a society without a government is likely to have individuals who will do anything to amass power to assure self-preservation and abundance.

Traditional Chinese philosophy of gerontocracy

Do you believe there is a possibility the “West” may embrace the traditional Chinese philosophy of “gerontocracy,” and offer greater value to those who have reached and are living in the late adulthood stage of development? Do you have suggestions for how to advocate for this? How do you think our culture could benefit from this, if you believe it could?

To my suggestion, I think the prominent youth should come up with a rule and set an age bracket for the ruling. For example, the youth can state that you can’t be a president if you are 50years and above. The old generation will be swept away from those great positions, and the youth will pave their way up. Generational gaps bring about culture change. With time clear gaps will develop between political interests, economic and the white generation too. Diversity exploitation is already taking place in prominent places in the United States. In due time, many babies born in the United States will be racial minorities, Hispanic, blacks, Asians, and other nonwhite races. This transformation shows the beginning of a cultural change in the United States. This demography change will bring about cultural clashes among the Americans.

Requirements: 250 words

Answer preview

The Triangle of Boundaries comprises three essential realities that have been existence since the beginning of time. They include freedom, responsibility, and love (Cloud and Townsend, 2013). At the beginning of time, God granted all living things freedom, such as human beings’ ability to engage in decision-making independently. It allows people to exercise their freedom from God based on their preferences which require setting boundaries. Without boundaries that define limits, an individual can’t experience freedom fully. It is because they can become slaves to others through marriage or relationships. Responsibility is another reality and triangle of boundary that has been in existence since creation. Boundaries define the possibility of people to decide when they can take responsibility. Limits also allows them to defy specific responsibilities by differentiating their duties and influencing change through actions. Another essential reality is love. The decision to set boundaries in relationships will enable one to experience love. It creates a suitable environment in which other realities of responsibility and freedom can exist. Love is an intense feeling because it grants people freedom from captivity and hurtful towards others. Love also creates a sense of responsibility in terms of the actions taken for oneself and others.

Cognitive Development

/in , /by

have you ever wondered why children develop odd understandings? For example, a child was heard to say, “Mommy went to the hospital to throw up her baby.” Where did the child get that idea if no one told him that?

Have you ever tried to help a child solve a problem or gain a new understanding? Were you successful?

This week, you have been studying the theories of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. These two 20th-century geniuses agreed that cognitive growth occurs as a result of processes internal to the child. However, they disagreed on the precise process. Piaget focused on developmental stages and Vygotsky focused on adults as the purveyors of cultural knowledge.

Returning to the example above, Piaget would say that the child thinks intuitively and has come to a mistaken conclusion. The child will automatically correct mistaken ideas as cognitive growth progresses and the child becomes able to reason, first more concretely and then more abstractly.

Vygotsky, on the other hand, would say that the child learns language, cultural knowledge, and rules from adults. If the adults understand the child’s current knowledge level and scaffold new information carefully, then the child can learn at a faster rate. This distance between what the child can know and do alone, and what the child can know and do with adult support, is called the Zone of Proximal Development.

Most adults who work with children are unaware of these theoretical views. However, they have a view of their own that influences how they interact with children. You likely already have a point of view that is probably more similar to either Piaget or Vygotsky. Try to proceed with an open mind.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Read the following example:

    As a 3-year-old, Mateo was afraid of Santa Claus, believed his shadow was following him, and expected that all adults knew his name. He could sing the ABC song and count by rote to 10. By the time he was 8 years old, Mateo loved sitting on Santa’s lap, used his hands to make shadow characters, and was able to disagree with a friend without getting upset. He could read simple text and add, subtract, and multiply.

  • Think about the previous example from Piaget’s point of view and then from Vygotsky’s. What do you think each would say about how Mateo’s developmental changes came about? From Piaget’s point of view, consider the development of stages and egocentrism. From Vygotsky’s point of view, consider the Zone of Proximal Development and the adult’s role in providing cultural knowledge.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

  • Contrast Piaget’s theory to Vygotsky’s theory. Using the example above, describe how Piaget and Vygotsky differ in their views about how cognitive development progresses. Be sure to include all of the following in your answer:
    • The main ideas of the stages of development from Piaget and the Zone of Proximal Development from Vygotsky
    • A description of the adult’s role in the process from the point of view of each theorist
    • A clear explanation of Mateo’s developmental progress from the point of view of each theorist
    • A clear explanation of the differences between the two theorists’ approaches

Hero is a video and also Im pasting the transcript of the video

FEMALE SPEAKER: Cognition, of course, is a theory that was proposed by Jean Piaget. And he talked about how we make sense of our world. And we developed schemes.

One of the first stages of cognitive development is the Sensory motor stage. And if you break those two words up, you have senses and motor. And so we make sense of our world by moving through our environment and using our senses to develop those schemes. If we have limited motor development that means we’re limited in the space, in the environment, in the area that we can move through. And so that’s going to impact our cognitive development.

The second stage is the preoperational stage. The third stage is the concrete operational stage. And then the final stage is the formal operational stage. And you’ll notice when you look at Piaget’s theory, it begins at birth, his stages, and they end at adolescence.

So, basically what that says is that our sense of development when we talk about cognitive development, are pretty much is in place by the time we reach adolescence. And then what happens after that, as we grow into adulthood, is we simply build on those first four stages. The other thing about Piaget is that he said that those stages work in order. You have to go from one stage to the next stage, to the next stage.

So you can’t necessarily skip a stage. The other thing is that those stages have some variation in them. And so even though the first stage is from birth to two years, a child may move into the second stage maybe at 15 months or 18 months. But what he did say is that development ends, it’s done by the time we reach adolescence.

When you think about information processing, think about a computer. You have your hard drive and you have the soft-drive. And so when researchers developed information processing, it’s just what it says. How we process information. We have our mental hardware and we have our mental software. We have the hardware, our brain, which is what we’re born with. It’s already pre-wired. But then what we do is we add information to that.

That enables us to do the things that we do. That enable us, for example, to go to school and learn how ABCs. That enable us to do a speech or that enables me to

Motor Development and Cognition

sit here in front of you and to explain to you about human development. That was because of experiences that I’ve had. And so that adds to the hardware.

Now if the hardware is damaged, in other words, if there’s some brain delay, if there’s some damage to the brain, it may not work as we would like for it. So that means that the software that I use is going to have to be a little bit different because the hardware, the hard wiring, has been damaged to some extent.

Vygotsky is one of my favorite theorists. And the reason why I liked Vygotsky so much is because unlike the other theorists, he includes the sociocultural aspect. He includes the impact of culture on cognitive development. One of the things that Vygotsky talked about is that he said that learning takes place in collaboration with other people. That no man is an island unto himself. And that children learn better when they are teamed up with other children who have more skills than they do. And so he introduced the concept of scaffolding.

And so scaffolding is a teaching strategy that teachers can use to see where a child is and where they need to go. And so I can build on the information that you have, I don’t have to repeat the information that you already know. I can assess what you do know, and then build on that so that you can go further.

And so with Vygotsky, the interesting thing about him is that he looked at the individual as an interactive person in terms of their environment. That their environment has an impact on their cognitive ability. And when we team children up with other children, they tend to want to do as well as that other child that they have been teamed up with.

And who better to teach a child how to do something than another child. It’s not as intimidating. They want to learn a little bit more. And so Vygotsky left us with so much that we can draw upon to help us better understand cognitive development. Scaffolding is very, very effective. And it’s effective because it gives help where needed. Help that is needed as opposed to giving a child something to do. and they don’t need your help to do it. And so I’m going to praise you for what you do know, and then I’m going to introduce some concepts to help you expand the information that you already know.

And so a good teacher is paying attention to what their children in their classroom are doing and what they already know. And so then they say, Johnny I see you know how to count up to five. That’s great. And so I don’t need to repeat that. What I want Johnny to do is to count up to 10. And so, when we set the bar high I believe that children will meet that expectation. And scaffolding is one way to do that.

Answer preview

As per Piaget’s cognitive development stages, a three-year-old Mateo was at the preoperational phase of his intellectual development. At this stage, his thinking is anchored on intuition rather than logic, and that’s why he believed not only was his shadow following him around but also that every adult should know his name. However, by the time he was ten years old, Mateo had moved to the operational stage of cognitive development, evidenced by the concrete reasoning that allowed him to argue with friends without getting upset when they have differing points of view.

Vygotsky

Vygotsky argued that learning takes place due to the input of a knowledgeable adult guiding a child’s learning process. For example, Mateo was afraid of Santa Claus when he was three years old; however, such fear went away since, by the time he was eight years old, Mateo was no longer afraid of Santa Claus, considering he now enjoyed sitting on Santa’s lap.

Pay philosophy

/in , /by

Before you jump into week 2’s the assignment, please make sure you are taking time to read the example pay philosophies that are posted in the weekly material. I’m going to spend some time breaking down this assignment since many students fail to include the key elements or focus on the intention of the assignment.

Where I see mistakes on week 2’s assignment is that students fail to review what a pay philosophy is and fail to review samples before they start the assignment. Additionally, this week’s paper should focus in on the Managed by Q case. What I will be looking for in your paper is that it is clear that you understand what Q’s pay philosophy is; which may include writing it out within the paper. Then you need to really analyze how this philosophy impacts the profitability of Q and then discuss what (if any) competitive advantage it gives Q. The purpose of the assignment is to explore the importance of a compensation philosophy on an organization and we’ll be doing this by looking at the Managed by Q company.

So, let’s breakdown the assignment, it reads as follows:

Q Case Compensation Philosophy: Using the Q Case Study listed below, (1) you will be writing a compensation statement for Managed by Q and then (2) looking at how this philosophy impacts their financial performance, competitive advantage, recruitment, etc. Please consider all the stakeholders who are impacted and how their particular approach impacts these different view points.

Utilizing the case study and additional information found via research (minimum three additional resources), (3) present an academic analysis of Managed by Q’s strategic compensation philosophy, its impact on the profitability of the organization, and any competitive advantage this strategy creates (please utilize data to support your conclusions). Must be 5 to 6 pages plus cover and references.

Elements that I will be looking for is Q’s compensation philosophy written out and identified. You may have to do this yourself based on what you find in the case.

Next, I will be looking for an assessment of this philosophy on how it has impacted the business. Think of items like: how has it impacted profitability? What type of impact on the finances of the organization has it had? Has it given Q a competitive advantage? Or, has it cause them to fall behind their customers? How has it impacted recruitment? And, so on –

I don’t know how to emphasize this enough – though “how much” Q pays is important data and should be included in the analysis – it isn’t a pay philosophy. Rather, a pay philosophy is a written statement that guides a company on their pay decisions. Listing what Q pays is not enough.

Week 2: Case Study

This week the focus is on compensation strategies. This is a very important first step of designing any compensation system and one that it actually utilized within the human resources community. It is not only a way to communicate with employees and candidates around how you intent to pay, it is an important tool to ensure that management is on the same page around compensation and benefit costs.

Q Case Compensation Philosophy: Using the Q Case Study listed below, you will be writing a compensation statement for Managed by Q and then looking at how this philosophy impacts their financial performance, competitive advantage, recruitment, etc. Please consider all the stakeholders who are impacted and how their particular approach impacts these different view points.

  1. Utilizing the case study and additional information found via research (minimum three additional resources), present an academic analysis of Managed by Q’s strategic compensation philosophy, its impact on the profitability of the organization, and any competitive advantage this strategy creates (please utilize data to support your conclusions). Must be 5 to 6 pages plus cover and references.

There are examples of pay philosophies out on the internet. Here are a few examples:

Another critical aspect of Q’s pay philosophy is centered on the belief that investment in its workforce by paying them above the industry average will help the company perform well financially. Doing this is vital for the company in light of the high employee turnover rates within the industry and the need to retain customers. In addition, cleaning operators’ salaries are reviewed every six months, an activity that was accompanied by a pay rise. Employees are provided with additional benefits and career development opportunities. Some of the benefits provided include getting paid for travel time as they navigated through jobs, free health insurance for those working at least thirty hours per week, forty hours of vacation, and a savings plan. Career progression and development are also part of the company’s compensation philosophy. Employees at the company can become mentors or supervisors since Q is only promoted from within its ranks. Finally, Q’s pay philosophy also incorporates a bonus payment

Choose Topic: Philosophy
Number of Pages: 1

Question Description: (GerMeka)
W3: Fallacies to Persuade and Possibly Manipulate
Goal: Observe how logical fallacies are used to persuade and at times, manipulate.

Course Objectives: CO2

 

Description:

Advertisements exist to sell you a product. It might be soap, music, political positions, or ideas. Most advertisements use a variety of logical fallacies to persuade but some use them to subtlety or overtly manipulate the intended audience.

Find an ad. You don’t have to repeat the entire ad, only enough to familiarize us with it…

(1) name the fallacy it commits

(2) define the fallacy and

(3) explain in detail how this ad is an example of this fallacy.

Perform the given exercise to understand it better.

Example:

The appeal to ignorance is a fallacy based on the assumption that a statement must be true if it cannot be proven false — or false if it cannot be proven true.

An ad claims that “Nobody has ever proved to me that Shrest Whitening Strips are harmful” which erroneously implies that you know they aren’t.
– Review the list of logical fallacies in your content and study the ads presented.

– Select at least two (2) ads that you feel represent two (2) different logical fallacies.

– Determine how the language and images of the ads appeal to the consumer; identify the kinds of fallacies being used; and describe what needs or insecurities the ads are trying to reach.

– Explain the ads’ effectiveness.

Answer preview

The scare tactic is another example of a fallacy commonly used in advertisements. It is based on emotional appeal where an organization can fear to persuade customers to buy their products or services. This technique often presents a dangerous scenario that shows a situation in which something the customers care most about is endangered hence triggering fear in them. It then offers a solution of minimizing or getting rid of the risk by presenting its products or services (Barroso, 2019). Customers will tend to purchase the products since the ad shows the threat’s possibility and offers a solution to prevent the risk. This is a logical fallacy since it is based on the assumption that a particular threat or risk can occur to the customer even if there is no evidence of its existence. An ad example of a home security company presents a robber breaking into a house with only children in an aired commercial. This ad creates fear in parents that their children can be attacked when left alone at home. The company presents its products as a solution to the fear.

There are several areas that need to be advanced or changed in my personal philosophy of nursing. One of the changes is accountability which is a major aspect that is held by most nurses and guides the nursing career. This means that I should always be accountable for every action and choice I make. This includes the choice of developing my individual knowledge base, and this should always be within the boundaries of the professional nursing practice (Drach‐Zahavy et al., 2018). Secondly, I should be more compassionate to enable me to provide more quality care and also show the patients the respect they deserve. I should be compassionate to the patients to also be able to easily connect with them and make them open up about their challenges. This makes it easier to develop viable assistance, which can be medical, emotional, and sometimes economic. Thirdly is the professionalism aspect of nursing, which majorly

When seeking to challenge the argument advanced by St. Anselm supporting God’s existence, one should rely on the school of thought advanced by various criticisms and objections to the argument. One of these objections was put forward by St. Anselm’s contemporaries, Gaunilo of Marmoutiers (Teske 222). When making his criticism, Gaunilo invited his audience to imagine an island that is more excellent than any island they know about. Furthermore, Gaunilo argued that as per St. Anselm’s evidence, the island he requested people to imagine should exist, considering as an island in existence, it would inadvertently be more excellent (Teske 222). This critique does not necessarily showcase a flaw in the argument but instead tries to demonstrate that if indeed St. Anselm’s argument was sound, then it means that numerous other arguments of a similar nature will also be perceived as being sound, a phenomenon that is unacceptable. Gaunilo further objected to St.
