A windowless room has three identical light fixtures, each with an identical light bulb contained within. Each light is connected to one of the three switches outside of the room. Each bulb is switched off at present. You are outside the room, and the door is closed. You have one, and only one, opportunity to flip any of the external switches. After this, you can go into the room and look at the lights, but you may not touch the switches again. How can you tell which switch goes to which light?

Assignment-2-Errors-in-Reasoning

/in /by

In this assignment, you will select one of the claims listed below. Using what you know about the topic, describe at least four claims that might commonly be made that display some of the errors in reasoning covered in this module’s readings. You may have to do a bit of research to find popular positions on these topics.

For example, if the claim is: Children should not be allowed to play violent video games.

Then four common claims about the subject might be:

  1. Children have always played violent games and they turned out okay.
  2. Dr. Dre says that violent video games are okay.
  3. Everybody knows that violent video games don’t cause problems.
  4. Many countries banned violent video games and they have higher crime rates than we do.

And the errors they represent might be:

  1. Children have always played violent games and they turned out okay (appeal to tradition and false analogy).
  2. Dr. Dre says that violent video games are okay (argument by mistaken authority).
  3. Everybody knows that violent video games don’t cause problems (appeal to common belief).
  4. Many countries banned violent video games and they have higher crime rates than we do (post hoc ergo propter hoc).

Because

  1. Any sentence that talks about how we have always done something as a way to justify doing it is an appeal to tradition.
  2. The claim looks like it comes from an authority, but Dr. Dre is a musician, not a doctor.
  3. Any claim that says that everyone knows something as a way to justify doing it is an appeal to common belief.
  4. Showing that two things happened (that video games are accepted and crime is up) does not prove that the two things are related or that the first caused the second; this is called post hoc ergo propter hoc, which means after this, so because of this.

Select one of these topics. Using what you know about the topic and additional research you conduct, describe at least four claims that might commonly be made that display some of the errors in reasoning covered in this module’s readings.

  1. Should people under 18 be subjected to legal curfews or restricted driving privileges?
  2. Should libraries be required to install filtering software or otherwise censor the materials that they provide?
  3. Should insurance companies be required to pay for breast reconstruction, birth control pills, or Viagra?
  4. Should the use of camera phones be banned in gymnasiums or other locations?

Write your 600-word response in the Microsoft Word document format.

BUSINESS PLAN

Your deceased great uncle’s attorney has notified you that, because you were his favorite relative, your great uncle has left you the bulk of his assets: $750,000. Although, you are bereaved by the loss of your favorite uncle, you realize that you are facing the opportunity of a lifetime. You must make a decision on how you will invest this inheritance.

You are at a crossroads in your life. Next year, you will be graduating from high school and you have not made any definite plans for your future. This inheritance opens many doors for you including your suppressed desire to own your own business. You have always had the desire to run a business and be your own boss. Now is your chance to follow your dream!

Task

You are about to begin an adventure that will determine your destiny. You are to plan your new business from scratch. You must begin by describing your business in a BUSINESS PLAN. You will determine what type of business you will run. To begin, you must describe your business operations: What will you provide for the customer? Who is your target customer? How will you communicate with your customer? What product and/or service will you provide? Where will your business be located? What hours will you operate? Who is your competition?

You will develop your company’s BUSINESS PLAN and determine whether this endeavor will be one you wish to pursue. Your BUSINESS PLAN will provide an assessment of financial calculations and show whether it will be a profitable business.

Process

You are about to become an entrepreneur! You have chosen your line of business and it is time to develop your BUSINESS PLAN. There are ninecomponents to the plan. FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT: Outline the NINE COMPONENTS needed for your business, utilizing the resources available to you. Then, evaluate your plan and yourself using the Evaluation checklist.

  1. Summary — Concept
  2. Vision Statement & Milestones
  3. Market Analysis, Target Market and Customers
  4. Competitive Analysis and Primary Competitors
  5. Strategy, Strengths and Weaknesses
  6. Products/Services — Positioning
  7. Marketing and Sales as well as Promotions and Publicity
  8. Operations — Management
  9. Financial Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

There is no limit to the amount information you can provide for your BUSINESS PLAN. Drafting the document will help you determine whether your business concept is feasible.

Evaluation

Evaluating your BUSINESS PLAN is the last and most important step in determining whether to proceed with your business venture. Here are some questions you should consider before investing in your business.

Is there a demand for my product/service?
Do my financial statements predict a profit after three years?
Am I a risk-taker?
Am I willing to take a profit loss for 1-3 years?
Do I need financial assistance (venture capital)?
Am I comfortable in a leadership role?
Can I handle personnel problems?
Is there opportunity for growth or diversification?
How do I manage stress?

PREDICTION: Will I be a successful entrepreneur?

Conclusion

Developing a comprehensive BUSINESS PLAN utilizes every business application you have studied in school. You must have a complete understanding of your product, customer, and finances to have a successful business. Writing your BUSINESS PLAN allows you, and others (perhaps investors), to determine your potential for success.
