Part 1 600 words

Aristotle says that the virtues are necessary for humans to attain happiness, but he means this in terms of something we might call “flourishing” or “living well”, which he considers quite different than simply feeling good.  Thus, according to Aristotle some people might feel that they are happy, but because they lack the virtues they are not truly flourishing.  However, imagine someone that is deceitful, selfish, greedy, self-indulgent, and yet enjoys great pleasure and appears to be quite happy.  Is someone like this “flourishing” or not?  Explain your answer this by referring to this week’s readings and media, and if possible provide examples from real life and/or from literature, film, TV, etc.

Part 2 600 words

Find examples from literature or media sources, or from current or past history, that demonstrate both success and failure at demonstrating a virtue.  In each case, what is the virtue that was demonstrated / lacking?  How did their actions display or fail to display that virtue, and in the case of the failure, what would the virtuous person have done instead?  Be sure to share the links with your classmates so they can read the full articles or watch the videos.  Don’t use examples that others have used before you.  First come, first served.

    • This classic comedy follows the life of a man who has to relive the same day over and over again. In this situation, he realizes that neither the “rules” nor the consequences of his actions matter anymore. Initially he finds this liberating, and enjoys himself, but that soon gives way to depression and despair. Eventually, though, he seems to find new reasons to be generous, helpful, caring, and so forth, as he develops what we might consider to be a virtuous character.

This video demonstrates new methods of farming that enhance production through diversification and conservation of the soil. As it relates to virtue, farmers appear to be learning how to work their lands to enhance the health of the soil and this in turn leads to higher levels of flourishing in relation to production as well as overall farm health.

Can someone please help me with these two assignments?

You will be building a formal, researched justification report (one part at a time) that culminates in a recommendation to implement a particular product, service, or program in your place of employment. This recommended product, service, or program should resolve a problem that you identify in your workplace and should be directed to your employer (even if you do not actually plan to share it with your employer).

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

• Problem Statement (for Question 1)

• Overview of Alternatives (for Question 2)

• Criteria (for Question 3)

• Methods (for Question 4)

Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:

1 Describe in detail a problem at work, persuading and convincing the reader that it needs fixing.

2 Provide a detailed description of two (2) possible solutions (“alternatives”) that could be implemented to resolve the problem identified in Question 1.

3 Describe five (5) criteria that you will use to measure the worth of each alternative in Criterion 2. Note: The alternative that satisfies the most criteria to the highest degree will be the one you recommend later to your employer. Criteria are standards that the audience values and are therefore used to measure the worth of each alternative (common examples include cost, desirability, durability, efficiency, time it will take to implement, and practicality).

4 Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best recommended alternative to your employer

Your assignment must:

• Be typed, single 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, your 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.

Assignment 2.2: Justification Report – Part 2

In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor’s suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

• Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)

• Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)

• References (for Question 6)

Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:

5 Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you’ve identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.

 Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments. 

6 Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each 

alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.

Example: If your research revealed that four companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”

7 Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc.

Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):

 Evaluation of Alternatives Cost

Alternative A: Telework from home 3 days per week

Narrate findings based on research article 1 here}

Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year

{narrate findings based on research article 2 here}

Briefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged from the Evaluation of Alternatives section.

Include a chart like the ones below to illustrate at a glance:

Figure 1: Alternatives Analyzed by Criteria

8 Criteria

9 Telework Option

10 Floating Holiday Option

11 Productivity

12 Very high

13 Negligible increase

14 Cost

15 Very high

16 Moderate

24 Moderate

25 Low

26 TOTAL Feasibility* of Alternatives based on Criteria?

27 Moderate to High

28 Low to Moderate

*Feasability = Capability of an alternative being carried out with success

Include an APA style (6th edition) References page that documents the two (2) sources (minimum) that you used and cited in-text in your Evaluation of Alternatives section.  Note that both resources may be secondary resources, or you may include one primary source and one secondary source. Remember that both in-text citations and References must be included (to avoid plagiarism) whenever you are directly quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing researched material.
