Prepare a 4-page response to a colleague in which you explain ethical issues, analyze the professional implications of an ethical dilemma, and recommend an evidence-based course of action.

Preparation Read the case studies carefully and choose one of the three. You will also need to locate at least three scholarly resources associated with ethics to support your work in this assessment. the case studies are presented within the context of a colleague faced with an ethical dilemma and reaching out to you for professional advice. You will still need to format this assessment according to APA guidelines, since it is the writing style of the profession. Please include the case study you have chosen on the title page; for example, Ethics in Psychology: General Psychology: Health. Requirements For the case study you have selected: -Explain the potential ethical issues in the situation. Are there conflicting ethical principles? -Analyze the professional implications of the situation. -Is the psychology professional practicing outside the scope of licensure? -Is there a conflict of interest? -Are there possible issues of confidentiality? -Are there possible legal implications? -What types of repercussions might occur? -Recommend an evidence-based course of action for the psychology professional. Example Assessment: You may use the assessment example, linked in the Assessment Examples section of the Resources, to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like. Additional Requirements Format: Include a title page and reference page. Length: 4 pages, double-spaced.

Evaluation of points made instead of description, the general flow of the work is more descriptive rather than providing an evaluation.

Please incorporate more of an evaluation of the major points and differences with ASOS and Northface. For example the point of Artificial intelligence with Northface, is just descriptive, it need to be more of an evaluation. It should look at a comparison to what Asos provides and how it might be better or worse. not just describing it Similar key points made through the assignments need to have an evaluation, this will help score the highest grades possible. 2. Images need to be formatted properly, so they look through to size and not out of place. Some of the images used are not very clear and look awkward. 3. All diagrams and images used need to have in-text references. 4 Language choice, words like ‘perfect’ and ‘exact’ should be substituted for better choice of words which don’t make the writer look obnoxious. Spellchecking of the assignment as there are a few spelling mistakes. 5. Also very briefly touch on how the Social media presence of Asos and Northface is related to E-commerce 6. A stronger conclusion with more focus on northface and asos as well as the arguments that have been made through the assignment.

Analysis of a Song from a Sociological Perspective

Final Paper Guidelines Music and sociology (should be at least 5-6 pages) This is a term paper. It is expected that you will work a little bit on your term paper all semester. However, realistically, I want you to make sure you put a few weeks effort into it. It is meant to demonstrate all the various sociology you have learned and how you can apply that sociology to just about anything. In this particular case, you will be applying that sociology to a cultural product: a song. This paper will require you to apply sociological themes, do outside research, and analyze a song on multiple sociological levels. I dont think there are any songs that are bad choices. You can sociologically analyze any song. However, there are songs that will be easier to analyze than others. Songs that have clear social or political messages, songs by artists that are fairly well known, and songs that have a fair amount of lyrical content are generally easier songs to write this paper about. For your purposes, a good song is one which has a good amount of lyrics, enough themes that you think you can incorporate lots of sociology, and a song popular enough that theres enough outside sources to research about it. You may choose your favorite song by some obscure artist, but that may limit the amount of research available to you and your research is being graded. You can essentially look at this paper at having three parts. 1. Interpreting symbolic elements. a. The first part of the paper will require you to analyze the lyrics of the song you choose and interpret the important symbolic features of the song. In other words, what does this song mean? What do the individual lyrics mean? b. Ultimately, Im asking you to analyze what the song means and/or what the song is meant to mean (sometimes artists intend things other than what is taken by the audience). And a bit more directly, how can we use sociology to understand it? c. Does the song reference other songs or artists? This may require some research. d. If we were to look at the three grand theories of sociology, what grand theory do you think best represents this song? Why? 2. Analyzing small group interaction. a. You will have to do some research on the group or singer that released the song. You will want to know the dynamics of the relationships in their lives at the time that they released or wrote the song. This is so you can tie these events to the writing, performance or reception of the song. b. You are looking for ways in which the way the groups social experiences (at the time or during life) affected how or why they would write this song. For example, Eric Claptons son dying was the reason he wrote Tears in Heaven. So were not just looking for random facts, were looking to construct a sociological explanation for why what happened (the song) happened. c. As you include things, ask yourself, Can I make a connection between these events and why this song was written? because thats primarily what Im asking you to be doing. 3. Analyzing the social structure. a. Here, you will have to do research on what is occurring in the world when the song was released and when it did or did not become popular. You want to make major connections of things happening in the larger social structure to the song you chose. These songs were not released in a vacuum. b. Do not just find a bunch of things that happened during this year and list them. Think about what things would have an effect on why a song was popular or not. Think of it this way, why was Ice Ice Baby popular in 1989 and why wouldnt it be popular now (or why wouldnt it have been popular in 1932)? Lee Greenwoods Im Proud to be an American was not popular when it was first released, but became popular after 9/11. These are the sorts of connections Im asking you to make. Youre looking to construct a sociological framework to explain why the song was received the way it was received and/or written. c. As you include things, ask yourself, Can I make a connection between this and why this song was written or how it was received? because thats primarily what Im asking you to be doing. 4. Some students sometimes get confused about what belongs in what section. As a rough guideline: a. If it has to do with the lyrics or themes of the song itself, it belongs in the interpreting symbolic elements section. b. If it has to do with the individual singer/groups lives it belongs in the small group interaction section. c. If it has to do with larger society, it belongs in the social structure section. 5. Things to keep in mind. a. Make sure you are including sociological theory in your paper. We will be going over theories of gender, theories about socialization, theories about interaction and theories about world views (how different people view the world); some of these will be reflected in your lyrics so make sure that you spend some time on them. b. Be explicit in your use of sociology. Im not just (though I am also looking for this) looking for sociological themes in your paper, but explicit mentions and descriptions of sociological concepts and how they relate to your paper. So for instance, just saying, This is like how the social institution of religion affects all of us. Is NOT enough. Instead, explain that concept you are using, then explain how it fits. Just mentioning a concept will not count. c. Just mentioning a sociological concept is not enough, explain what it is and how it fits (this is how I know youre using the concept correctly). I /really/ dislike putting a minimum number of concepts, but if I had to make a number, Id say at least five. To be clear, including five concepts doesnt guarantee an A, thats just the minimum Id expect to see. d. Im going to say it one more time. Make sure you incorporate sociological concepts. I dislike looking at a good research paper, but having to give it a bad grade because theres no sociology in it, but every semester, no matter how much effort I put into making sure you understand this is the core focus of the paper, I have several papers where this is the case. Dont be one of these papers. e. I am adding a new requirement: Any time you make a specific sociological reference to satisfy the requirements a-d, you must highlight it (In Microsoft Word, there is a little button you press that says highlight text). Im hoping this will make people see how much of their space they have or havent dedicated to sociology. f. You must include the full text of the song, the artist, album and year of release with your paper. This does not count as part of your page count; you will add this as an appendix (appendices go at the end of a paper). g. It is expected you will do outside research. I dont have a firm minimum number of sources in mind, but Id guess four (not including the textbook) is fair. And youll probably want more. The Cincinnati State Library staff are aware of this assignments and have resources available to help you write it. h. Make sure that you properly cite whatever outside sources you use and you will require outside sources. Not doing so is technically plagiarism, even if you dont mean it. You must cite in the BODY of the paper where you use the information and ALSO in a bibliography. If you dont know how to cite things, please ask me and I will direct you to a resource to help. i. Do not use Wikipedia as a direct source. Also, if your source is something informal, such as a blog, then make sure to note that youre using someones opinion and not necessarily an objectively factual article. j. Make sure to proof read your paper. k. Appendices and bibliographies do not count towards your page count. l. Not following any of these rules will mean a reduction in grade. m. Make sure your paper has an introduction and a conclusion, students often miss this. An introduction should lay out the framework for the paper (what are we going to read about and why) and a conclusion should explain what we should take from the paper (what did we read about and what did we learn). Suggested Header format: 1. Introduction 2. Interpreting Symbolic Elements 3. Small Group Interaction 4. Social Structure 5. Conclusion 6. Appendix 7. Bibliography

What elements are being prioritized? What stands out to you? At the concert, enjoy the live music unimpeded (no note-taking, no recording devices); after the show, reflect on your experience.

Attend a live concert, on which you will hear at least one piece of music/song of which you have heard a recording. This will require a bit of prior research, and your recitation instructors and I can help you in this endeavor. Prior to the concert, study the recording and make notes about ways in which you perceive the music. Note what surprised you, what inspired you, how differently you felt hearing the music live vs. on the recording you have gotten familiar with. Was your experience heightened by having studied the music ahead of time? We will expect 750-1000 words in response (about 3-4 pages, double-spaced).

What is the companys current focus? In what industry does the company currently compete? What product/service do you think the company should introduce?

Each student should choose a company and create a new product or service for the company chosen. The new product or service must be consistent with the companys current offerings. An example of an inconsistent product offering would be if Chrysler (an automotive company) began to sell chocolate. The final project should consist of the following items: 1. Executive Summary This section should focus on providing a concise overview of your new product or service and how the company will benefit by offering this new product or service. 2. Company and Product/Service Description This section should consist of an overview of the company you have selected. How does this product/service fit in with the companys current product/service offerings? 3. Strategic Focus Think about the core benefits of your new product or service. Focus on how your new product or service meets consumers wants and needs. 4. Situation Analysis (think of factors affecting both your company as a whole and the new product/service). What are the (internal and external) environmental factors to think about? For example, 1) the potential investment required to introduce your product or service 2) the competition for the new product or service. 5. Marketing Program (for your new product) STP: How is the market for this product segmented? What is the target market for your product or service? Is this a target market the company is already focusing on or would this be a new target market for the company? What will be your product’s positioning? The 4Ps: How do you plan to market your new product or service? Is your product or service something that the company will sell on its own or will it be sold in addition to one of the companys current products or services? What will be your Marketing Mix Strategies (the 4 Ps)? 6. Works Cited Page Please provide a works cited page in MLA format. The final paper should 3-pages single spaced, Times New Roman, 12pt font.

In the text, you studied concepts such as emotional development and attachment theory. Choose the section of the text readings that you were most interested in and apply the concepts to a real-world situation.

For example, if you are the parent of a young child and you choose attachment, briefly summarize the text material that you are addressing and apply it to an example related to parenting your toddler. Devote one section to discussing the text material and one section to the real-life application.

Do you feel the architectural elements of Gothic cathedrals (or chapels) successfully achieved their goal?

– For example, that is to inspire religious fervor, create an ethereal, atmospheric, heaven-like space with an aura of light, weightlessness, and spirituality – among other qualities. Discuss a few Gothic characteristics from at least 2 cathedrals as support for your argument. Consider: If you were a parishioner of one of these cathedrals during the 12th – 14th centuries what aspect would most appeal to you? Was it possible for the design of the cathedral to inspire or affect you? What role did the function of some architectural elements play in the design? Meaning was it form (decorations) over function? Think of the ribs in the vaults, pointed arches, tall spires, flying buttresses, etc. Your essay should be at least 2 (or 1 big) healthy paragraph(s) with correct grammar, spelling, as well as an introduction, body, and conclusion.
