/in /by

1. 
Philosophical Essay–
You will write a two-part 6- 8-page essay using our Library Guide for PHIL101 and our
Online Library to answer one of the following questions:

  • Consider the following
         philosophical puzzle: “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one
         around to hear it, does it make a sound?” (1) How is this philosophical
         puzzle an epistemological problem? And (2) how would John Locke answer it?
  • Evaluate the movie, The
         Matrix, in terms of the philosophical issues raised with (1) skepticism
         and (2) the mind-body problem. Explain how the movie raises questions
         similar to those found in Plato’s and Descartes’ philosophy. Do not give a
         plot summary of the movie – focus on the philosophical issues raised in
         the movie as they relate to Plato and Descartes.
  • Socrates asks Euthyphro, “Are
         morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they
         morally good because they are willed by God?” (1) How does this question
         relate to the Divine Command Theory of morality? (2) What are the
         philosophical implications associated with each option here?
  • Summarize the problem of evil
         and critically evaluate how it is said to undermine the traditional
         characteristics of God.
  • Explain (1) the process by
         which Descartes uses skepticism to refute skepticism, and (2) what first
         principle does this lead him to? (3) Explain why this project was
         important for Descartes to accomplish. 

Part 1: At the end of week four you
will turn in (1) a clearly articulated thesis statement, and (2) a selected
list of appropriate sources using our Library Guide for PHIL101 and our
Online Library, as indicated below:

1. 
Identify
at least one encyclopedia, or similar work, providing a big picture overview of
key issues your topic needs to address.

2.  Identify at least one secondary
source, an interpretive work, addressing your topic which was written by
someone other than the philosophers identified in your topic.

3.  Identify at least one primary
source, from a major philosopher identified in your topic choice. Be sure that
the primary source selected pertains to the issues raised by your topic.

4.  Identify at least one journal
article database, available in the APUS Online Library, where contemporary
philosophical articles pertaining to your topic, can be located.

Explain briefly how the content of
each source will assist you with your Philosophical Essay Assignment. Provide a
complete reference in MLA style for each work, 1-3, selected.

The following is an
example (do not copy and use) of what is due at week four:

 

Thesis Statement:

 

In this essay I evaluate the
  philosophical puzzle: “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one
  around to hear it, does it make a sound?” In my evaluation I explain that
  this question raises the epistemological problem of how a subjective
  experience, such as sound, relates to what can be known of reality. I
  demonstrate that this question is a puzzle because it exposes the limits of
  what we can claim to know based on sensory experience. Lastly, I will explain
  how the empiricist, John Locke, would evaluate and answer the puzzle. 

 
 

Resources:

 

1. 
  Encyclopedia or similar comprehensive works:

 

Kemerling, Garth. “John Locke: The Origin of
  Ideas.”  Philosophy Pages. Britannica
  Internet.2001. Web. 1 Mar. 2009.

 

http://www.philosophypages.com/hy/4l.htm

 

This source is a quick introduction to Locke and
  his philosophical perspective and introduces the main themes in his work, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.
  It will also help me understand the more complicated aspects of Locke’s
  epistemology that I’ll be reading to write my essay.

 
 

Uzgalis, William. “John Locke: The Limits of Human
  Understanding.” Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 2007. Web. 1 Mar. 2009.

 

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/locke/#LimHumUnd/

 

This source presents a much more detailed analysis
  of Locke’s epistemology from his work, An
  Essay Concerning Human Understanding.

 
 
 

2. 
  Secondary sources:

 

E.J. Lowe. Routledge Philosophy Guide Book on
  Locke: On Human Understanding. New
  York, NY : Routledge, 1995. NetLibrary. 2002. 1 Mar. 2009

 

http://www.netlibrary.com.ezproxy1.apus.edu/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=73470

 

This source provides me with a comprehensive
  discussion of John Locke, the person, and the arguments he puts forth in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.
  It will also help me understand the book as it relates to historical events
  and ideas. Additionally, it identifies arguments from the work’s supporters
  and critics.

 
 
 

3. 
  Primary sources:

 

Locke, John. 
  An Essay Concerning Human
  Understanding. Kitchener, Ont.: Batoche, 2001. Ebrary. 2005. 4 Oct. 2010.

 

http://site.ebrary.com.ezproxy1.apus.edu/lib/apus/Doc?id=2001993

 

This is Locke’s own writing which allows me to
  read how Lock perceived the problem of knowledge, experience and sensation in
  his own words.

 
 
 

4. 
  Journal article database:

 

EBSCO’s Academic Search Elite

 

This is a searchable database of scholarly
  articles from many academic disciplines, including philosophy. I can use it
  to find contemporary scholarly articles pertaining to epistemology, perception,
  and Locke.  It also contains the full
  text of many of the articles.

 
 

Mapping-the-Product-Life-Cycle

/in /by

The Product Life Cycle (PLC) is a vital component of the marketing plan. Monitoring products and services as they flow through this process helps marketing managers adjust their marketing strategies to keep products and services thriving for as long as possible. Monitoring this cycle helps companies and organizations continue to maximize the value of their products and services with their target over time. The purpose of this assignment is to give students the opportunity to understand how each stage in the PLC creates a need for adjustment to marketing strategies and allows students to assess what action(s) need to be taken.

Assignment Steps

Resources: Marketing: Ch. 1: pg. 4-10; Ch. 2: pg.40-46, 54-69; Ch. 11: pg. 292-309

Scenario: You currently work as the marketing manager of your favorite company/organization and manage the success of one of its products or services. Your responsibility is to monitor the stages of the Product Life Cycle (PLC) and adjust the marketing strategies as needed for your product to thrive for as long as possible. At each stage, you assess changes you need to make to the product, price strategy, as well as competition and profit.

Create a 10- to 20-slide (not counting cover slide or reference slide) Microsoft® PowerPoint®presentation with speaker’s notes covering the following criteria:

  • Develop a slide setting the theme and goals of the presentation.
  • Define and discuss the PLC concept and its importance to marketing managers.
  • Define and discuss what role pricing strategy has in marketing and how marketing mangers decide what strategy to use.
  • Describewhat company/organization and product/service you are using.
  • Create one slide for each of the four stages of the PLC describing the stage and analyzes the implications each stage may have on price strategy, product, competition, and profit for your selected product/service. Use the product/service you selected to illustrate each stage as it is discussed with original examples.
  • Discuss the reasoning behind why the PLC is important to marketing managers and share examples of possible implications if it is not monitored.

Cite a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources with one coming from the textbook or the University Library. Use in-text citations in the presentation slides and speaker’s notes to demonstrate your research.

Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.

How-to-analyze-discrete-probability-distributions

/in /by

Competency

This competency will allow you to demonstrate your ability to analyze discrete probability distributions and expected value.

Instructions

You have recently applied for a risk analyst position at G & B Consulting and been invited in for an interview. A part of the requirements of the job is a thorough knowledge of probability and statistics. Some of your potential future coworkers are given the opportunity to interview you and wish to test your knowledge.

Part 1: The first of these potential coworkers is explaining to you the importance of knowing the regional business landscape in order to be best prepared when new potential clients and how many specialists in different areas should be on hand. She shows you a spreadsheet predicting potential client types with the following information:

Client Type

Probability

Corporate

.45

Small Business

.11

Legal

.09

Government

.29

Private

.7

Is there any reason to believe this information is not accurate? Explain to your potential coworker in detail any observations you may have in regards to the information on the spreadsheet.

Part 2: The next potential coworker you meet is excited to show you a dice game he developed that he is hoping to sell to a local casino. This game involves using two 10-sided dice with faces numbered 1 through 10. He asks you to confirm some of the probabilities of different outcomes of the game and show how you arrived at your answers.

  • What is the probability of rolling a sum of 11 on the two dice?
  • What is the probability of rolling the two dice and getting at least one seven?
  • What is the probability of rolling the two dice and getting either an odd sum or a sum greater than 19?
  • What is the probability of rolling doubles twice in a row?

Part 3: After confirming those probabilities, he tells you that the game costs $1 to play and has the following payouts:

Roll

Winnings

Doubles

$4

Sum of 11

$1

Sum of 3, 4, 18, or 19

$.5

Other

$0

From these payouts, he tells you that the game should be incredibly popular since it has an expected value of 55 cents for every dollar spent. Your potential coworker wants to know if you agree with this expected value, and asks that you explain your reasoning, including any calculations you made.

Compile your responses from all parts into a single Word document for submission. Be sure to include all relevant work, and fully typed explanations where they are asked for.
