Analyzing Reasoning on Both Sides

/in /by

This final writing assignment allows you to present an analysis of the best reasoning on each side of your issue. In the process, you will get to demonstrate some of the key skills you have learned during this course. In particular, you will demonstrate the ability to create high-quality arguments on both sides of an issue, to support your reasoning with scholarly sources, and to provide a fair analysis of the strength of the reasoning on each side. For an example of how to complete this paper, take a look at the Week Five Example paper.

Your paper must include the following sections, clearly labeled:

  • Introduction
    • Introduce readers to your topic; include a brief preview of what you will accomplish in this paper. (approximately 150 words)
  • First Argument
    • Present the best argument on one side of the issue. (approximately 150 words)
      • Express your argument in standard form, with the premises listed one by one above the conclusion.
  • Defense for First Argument
    • Support the first argument as well as you can, using academic sources to demonstrate the truth of key premises. You may also choose to clarify the meaning of key premises and to explain how your reasoning supports the conclusion (approximately 250 words).
  • Opposing Argument
    • Present the best argument on the other side of the issue (approximately 150 words).
      • Express your argument in standard form.
  • Defense of Opposing Argument
    • Support the opposing argument as well as you can, using academic sources to demonstrate the truth of key premises. You are welcome as well to clarify the meaning of premises and/or to explain the reasoning further (approximately 250 words).
  • Analysis of the Reasoning (approximately 350 words)
    • Evaluate the quality of each argument, addressing whether key premises are true and whether the conclusion logically follows from them.
    • Analyze arguments for any fallacies committed or for any biases that may influence either side. Do you feel that one argument makes a much stronger case than the other and why? (There is no need to “take sides,” only to assess the quality of the arguments.)
    • Support your analysis with scholarly sources.
  • Conclusion (approximately 150 words)
    • Provide a brief conclusion and summary of your issue and how it can best be addressed by critical thinkers.

Initial question:

In a rising interest rate environment, how would bond values change over time? As a bond investor, what measures would you take to manage rate risk?

Reply to this response:

In a rising rate environment, the bond values would be opposite in nature to the interest movement, as a result they would fall. However, the extent of the fall would be defined through the bond duration, in other words the higher the duration, the higher the fall. In order to reduce the interest rate risk, the investor could transfer to shorter maturity papers to decrease the overall risk and duration. In considering the investor, they could also move to floating rate securities, those obtaining the bond until maturity to receive the yields that they received bought by simply obtaining it until maturity.

Case study parole and probabtion

/in /by

Unit III Case Study

Using ONE of the case study examples on page 83 of your textbook, imagine that you are a probation officer and develop
a presentence investigation report for either Defendant Green or Defendant Tuff. This report needs to incorporate the
main components of a presentence investigation (PSI) report as found on page 89 of your textbook, and you can take
creative liberties with the parts of the offender’s background that are not discussed in the case example. Instead of
discussing determinate and indeterminate sentencing options, you will assume that you are in an indeterminate
sentencing state, and you will make a recommendation to the judge for sentencing options based upon the offender’s
profile, and he will be sentenced to probation. You will explain in paragraph form the standard and special conditions of
probation that would be appropriate for the defendant that you choose, and why those conditions would be appropriate,
and these will be the recommendations for the judge.

Upon completion of the presentence investigation report, discuss in paragraph form the risk/needs assessment that you
would conduct on either Defendant Green or Defendant Tuff. Make sure to discuss dynamic and static factors for risk.
Explain why you are identifying these factors as dynamic and static and why they need to be addressed for the defendant
that you choose.

Finally, develop a case supervision plan for the defendant that you choose, and explain in paragraph form at least three
things that you will address with the defendant in order of priority (i.e., the most important will be discussed first). These
will be identified upon completion of your risk/needs assessment. Incorporate the principles of effective correctional
intervention and potentially beneficial intervention strategies to use with your probation client.

In addition to using your textbook as a reference for this case study, you are also required to utilize at least one other
acceptable reference. Your paper should be at least four pages long, not including the reference or title pages. Your
developed presentence investigation report should comprise at least two full pages, with the remaining two sections of the
paper comprising at least two full pages.

Please remember that all case studies need to be submitted in APA style with a title page and separate references page.

Using Text Analytical Tools for Business Purposes

/in /by

Social media has grown to become a very important source of information for travelers to make decisions regarding destinations and hospitality services. Particularly, online product reviews such as those in websites Tripadvior and Yelp have become an essential electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) and have shown to influence consumer behavior and, as result, generate impact on business performances. Therefore, there is an increasing need for businesses to understand what consumers are sharing with each other through these online reviews. In this exercise, you are expected to apply a text analytics tools, i.e., word cloud generator, to online reviews and interpret the results from the business perspective.

Specifically, you need to do the following:

  1. Identify a real business you are interested in;
  2. Propose an idea to use Word Cloud Generator (https://www.wordclouds.com/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) for business purposes;
  3. Collect data (>100 reviews), run analyses (show graphs), and interpret results (what it means);
  4. Make recommendations to the business.

Note:

  1. You need to provide the rationale for the data you select.
  2. There are different ways to enter the data, how you want the data to be processed (e.g., removing stopwords etc), and how you want the program to display the word clouds. You should explain these specifications in the paper.
  3. There are different ways to use the tool, e.g., to understand what people talk about the business in negative vs. positive reviews, how does the focal business compare with its competitors, etc. You need to be creative!

A few requirements for the paper:

  1. Use a cover page, main body (consisting of sections) and reference page to organize your paper.
  2. Try to limit the main body to eight pages of actual text (including tables, charts, and figures). The paper must be double-spaced and written in twelve-point type with standard margins. The page limit does not include the cover page, a reference page (if applicable), and/or any attachments you would like to include.
  3. You must reference all of the sources you cite in the paper. An APA guideline has been posted on the Canvas site.
  4. The paper is due by 5PM Sunday December 9, 2017. An assignment entry will be created in Canvas to facilitate the submission.

Your work will be evaluated based upon:

  • Description of the business and its environment (20 points)
  • Analyze its market characteristics (30 points)
  • Google Trends ideas (80 points)
  • Communication (20 points): format (e.g., cover page, page number), page limit, grammar, organization, etc.
  • Total: 150 points

IF not followed every an each step in that order assignment will not meet the requirement and it will be returned to you and refunded to me.
