Was the Civil War Civil?

Times New Roman, Double-Spaced, ~800–1,000 words, Chicago Style Format

For this paper, use the readings from Weeks 6-11, as well as reputable outside sources, to answer the following prompt:

Was the Civil War Civil?

Much of the conflict between the Union and Confederate forces came from individuals that consider themselves American, linking their history to the Thirteen Colonies and the American Constitution. Most of the men (and the few women) who took a part of the war effort were more similar than not. Yet, as we discussed, political, social, economic, and moral motives greatly differed from region to region. The victory in the Civil War would redefine what it meant or who could be considered to be an American. Thus, with the great differences in principles, especially with the enslavement of People of African Descent, the stakes of the war was large. So, in short, were the battles and the rhetoric of the war a simple disagreement of legal principles or did the war exposed deeper issues about American Society?

I highly suggest utilizing the sources of Module 7: Oct. 5 – Oct. 11 alongside other course materials to show multiple perspectives of the war  (attached PDFs)

Analyze the evolution of social media standards and practices and how it relates to the potential need for regulation of social media, along with ethical concerns.

Competency

Analyze the evolution of social media standards and practices and how it relates to the potential need for regulation of social media, along with ethical concerns.

Instructions

Many people get all or most of their news from social media. For this project, we are going to be analyzing the content of several social media sites from major news sources, paying particular attention to social media standards, practices, and regulation.

Where do you get your news? Start by going to one major news site’s FACEBOOK page (CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc.) Try another different news site’s TWITTER feed, and third choose another social media site such as Reddit, Pinterest, or another (preferably one you use, if there is one).

Analyze the sites in a 3-5 page total paper. In your analysis, be sure to include the following:

  • General introduction to your thoughts on the social media you studied
  • Several social media practices you observed (e.g., what gets the most interaction?)
  • Examples of regulation of social media and discussion of such regulation (Is it good, bad, or indifferent? How could circumstances change the situation?)
  • Analysis of ethical concerns (e.g., can you see examples of bias?)
  • What is the culture of each site – how do users seem to respond to questionable items? (Is racism or open mocking ignored or pursued?)
  • Conclusion of your findings

I need this paper revised. it wasn’t done properly. Below is the feedback from thee instructor. i need all of the areas to be passing.

NEEDS FIXED   Introduction: 1 No Pass

You failed to provide a general introduction into which 3 news outlets on which 3 social media sites you reviewed and were sharing your general thoughts on. For instance,

Fox News on Facebook, CNN on Instagram, and MSNBC on Twitter

(these are examples which would show you will share information in your paper about 3 news outlets on 3 different social media platforms.)

NEEDS REVISED Social Media Practices: 2 Competence

You briefly mentioned general categories of interactions. What is getting the most interaction on the news outlet’s social media platforms specifically?

Be sure to identify and thoroughly analyze several social media practices from each of the news outlet’s sites

NEEDS REVISED  Regulation: 2 Competence

You gave examples of regulation, in general. But, what regulation are for the news site’s platforms? Facebook requires users to be 13 years old. What about fake profiles? What about the pictures allowed on Instagram? What are the terms and conditions? Be specific with several (3 or more) good examples of social media regulation and an insightful analysis of impact.

Are they good? Bad? Indifferent? How could circumstances change the situation of regulation?

NEEDS FIXED   Ethical Concerns: 1 No Pass

You failed to analyze ethical concerns for the news sites themselves. You don’t believe any of the news sites show bias? Be sure to share several (3 or more) ethical concerns and analyze them thoroughly.

NEEDS FIXED  Culture: 1 No pass

You failed to identify specific users’ responses to questionable items on a page. In order to move to mastery, you should thoughtfully and completely consider the culture of each site (the 3 separate news outlets on separate social media platforms) such as is racism or open mocking of other’s views ignored or stopped? How do users respond to questionable items posted? Do they shame posts that are unacceptable?

NEEDS REVISED  Conclusion: 2 Competence

You gave a bit of a conclusion. In order to move to mastery be sure to be thorough and insightful when summing up the information from the news outlets social media sites.

What is a Sentient Being?

Directions: You may write your paper on Agent Smith in The Matrix or any other android or robot from a film (Cyborgs and others may qualify) . If not Agent Smith, I would approve any of the following: “David” from A.I., “Tron” or “Master Control” from Tron, “Sonny” from I, Robot, “Data” from Star Trek: The Next Generation, “Hal” from 2001, any replicant from Blade Runner, or “The Terminator” from Terminator 2. (Contact me if some other character or film interests you.)

Discuss the claim that even though Agent Smith is a program, he is a Sentient Being with mental states*. You will need to address the views of Paul Churchland, John Searle, functionalism, and Rene Descartes as well as answer for yourself. Begin with a brief introduction but number and address the five parts separately.

1.  Dualism: What exactly would Tron (Character Disney movie “Tron”) need according to Descartes’ theory of Substance Dualism? From the film do you think Tron meets Descartes’ criteria? Explain.

2. Identity Theory: In spite of some criticisms of it, Searle is an advocate of the Identity theory. Is Tron (Character Disney movie “Tron”) a “person” according to Searle? Why or why not?

3. Functionalism: What would a functionalist say about Tron’s (Character from  Disney movie “Tron”) personhood?

4. Eliminative Materialism: Does Churchland allow for Tron (Character from Disney movie “Tron”) to have “mental states”? Is Tron “one of us” according to Churchland’s theory? Explain.

5. You: Which view most closely corresponds to yours? Is Tron (Character from Disney movie “Tron”) a person according to you?

*Note: The Philosophers in Part may have different definitions in mind for the word “mental state”. Being clear on their respective definitions may go a long ways toward answering these questions. Some terms you may want to discuss (but are not required to): personhood, sentience, artificial, consciousness, intelligence, mentality, “one of us”.

Some Philosophical Questions about Robots in general and Smith’s program in particular:

· Philosophy of Mind: Do Robots have qualia? (see Ultimate Questions for a definition) Do they have minds? Are they sentient beings?

· Ethics and Freedom: Are they persons? Do they have rights? Are they morally responsible for what they do? Do they have free will?

Our Analysis Paper is primarily concerned with questions pertaining to the Philosophy of mind. Ethics will overlap with our issue but you need not consider the moral questions in this paper. You will be attempting to interpret whether 4 philosophical theorists (Churchland, Searle, a functionalist and Descartes) have room for Smith as a person. You should also include your view.

What is a Sentient Being? What is a Person? There are no universally agreed answers to these questions. But there are several philosophical theories that attempt to answer these questions. In one Star Trek (The Next Generation) episode, the Android Data is put on trial to see if he has intelligence, self-awareness, and consciousness. In effect, this is their definition of a “sentient being”. This is not a bad attempt for a television program but should we accept this? How do we test for our criteria?

All four of the philosophical positions we are considering have different criteria and it is up to us to discover what the criteria are as well as to apply the criteria to the case of Smith. We, of course, have opinions about personhood as well. For instance, it is typically considered permissible to step on an insect but it is not permissible to injure a cocker spaniel. If we agree with this, then we are advocating a position about ethical status and perhaps even personhood. Of course, attitudes vary greatly in regards to eating or experimenting on other animals. Ethical issues permeate this metaphysical issue but, again, you need not focus on this aspect

Use the two ethical theories Rawls Theory of Justice and Utilitarianism

Use the two ethical theories Rawls Theory of Justice and Utilitarianism

Use the two ethical theories Rawls Theory of Justice and Utilitarianism to explain why so much of humanity still lives in poverty and discuss how the existence/persistence of global poverty is endorsed by each theory’s central tenets.

Summarize each theory (Rawls Theory of Justice and Utilitarianism) and explain the connections (or disconnections?) between the theory and the existence/persistence of global poverty.  Considering these three reasons: minimum wage, investing in affordable, high-quality childcare and early education. To enhance the argument. 

  1. Do you consider poverty to be a valid global ethical concern? Is it an issue that “we are all concerned about” as Widdows posits in her introduction (Widdows, 1)? Or do you think poverty is a local issue or an issue to be addressed by people who are poor?
  2. What ethical frameworks support your answer? Highlight elements of ethical theories that support your position on whether or not poverty is a valid global ethical concern.
  3. Describe any personal, core beliefs that affect your own views on global poverty. Where did these beliefs come from?
  4. Connect your beliefs to the ethical framework(s) that most resonate for you. Highlight elements of theories that best support your personal beliefs.

Describe the organizational structure and hierarchy.

 

The Organization

[WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 2, 3]

Submit an academic paper using APA style and formatting that is 1,750 to 2,450 words long and covers the following topics:

First section: Write an original description of your organization that encompasses the mission, values, and purpose that you might find on the “About Us” page of the website, but in terms that are more practical. The language should be descriptive and from an insider’s point of view rather than persuasive, which is the approach that information on organization websites often takes. What is the purpose of the organization? What does it produce? What services does it provide? What audience does it appeal to or serve?

Second section: Describe the organizational structure and hierarchy. Who are the key leaders? What do each of the different divisions or departments do? How do different employees, departments or divisions work together? What communications strategies does the organization employ? If possible, diagram the decision-making and/or communication hierarchies.

Third section: Describe the organizational culture. What are the demographics and, if relevant, psychographics of the employees or volunteers? How do they relate to each other and to management? Do they communicate well with one another? Identify the strengths and weaknesses in the organizational culture.

Fourth section: Describe whether your company will follow a Social Entrepreneurship or traditional entrepreneurship model.

Fifth section: The focus of this course is social networking and social media. If there are problems or issues within the organization that might be solved using social media strategies, begin to examine them here.
