The movie: The Martian (2015)

Leadership ethics at the movies. Select one of the movies included in the Johnson text. Analyze the movie with an ethical lens that lets you see the ethical underpinnings of specific actions and overall themes. On your cover page include the movie title and the page number it is on in the text. In your introduction tell why you selected that film and give a brief overview of the plot. Respond to the discussion starters and use each question as a heading in your paper. Include a reference to the text and a separate reference for the film itself.

Questions:

• What virtues does astronaut Watney demonstrates?
• Was the NASA director justified in withholding information about Watney’s survival from the Aries crew?
• Was it ethical for the mission director to disobey his boss and leak information to the Ares crew?
• Was the rescue of a single astronaut worth risking the lives of the rest of the crew? Would you feel the same if the mission failed? Why?

A quality inspector picks a sample of 15 items at random from a manufacturing process known to produce 10% defective items. Let X be the number of defective items found in the random sample of 15 items. Assume that the condition of each item is independent of that of each of the other items in the sample. The probability distribution of X is provided in the file P04_18.xlsx.

1. Use simulation to generate 500 values of this random variable X.
2. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the simulated values. How do they compare to the mean and standard deviation of the given probability distribution? (Albright, 2017, p. 159).

In the discussion area, answer both questions in Parts a and b. Attach the Excel document.

The Association of American Medical Colleges was founded in 1876. It
set minimum standards for medical education but was unable to enforce
its recommendations. The American Medical Association (AMA) obtained
the help of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to
provide a rating of medical schools. The foundation appointed Abraham
Flexner to investigate medical schools located in both the United
States and Canada. The Flexner Report, published in 1910, had a profound
effect on medical education reform.

In a 1-2 page paper, written in APA format, address the following:

1. Explain the history of the medical education system leading up to the creation of the Flexner Report.
2. Explain how the Flexner Report has contributed to medical education reform.

Answer the 3 questions below.

Each question must use APA format and use a scholarly source. For Question 3 I have attached the Grading Rubric to follow.

Question 1:

We encounter advertising on a daily basis. Yet, many of us rarely stop to consider what it is and how it impacts our views. For this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 of your textbook and address the following:

• Define advertising in your own words.
• Use either Print Screen or the Snipping Tool on your computer to copy and paste at least one example of an advertisement that has influenced your view as a consumer of that organization. Explain how it demonstrates the impact of advertising on a company’s competitive advantage. (Remember to create a reference entry and cite the source for the advertisement you select.)
• Use either Print Screen or the Snipping Tool on your computer to copy and paste at least one example of an advertisement that might be considered to have a negative impact on society. Explain the ethical considerations of this advertisement and the kinds of social criticisms that might result. (Remember to create a reference entry and cite the source for the advertisement you select.)

Post your examples to the discussion forum below. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words, and be supported by your text and at least one professional or academic source.

Question 2:

Every industry or profession is subject to a certain set of ethical and legal responsibilities, and advertising is no exception. Use the Ashford University Library to find one scholarly article that discusses one of the specific ethical and/or legal responsibilities of the advertiser. Then, search the web for an example of an advertisement or advertising campaign that reflects this responsibility, and discuss the extent to which meeting this ethical and/or legal responsibility allows the advertiser to avoid social criticisms. Provide the URL link to the advertisement you have discussed.

Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words and be supported by your text and at least one professional or academic source. Your post must also be organized using APA style headings as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center

Question 3:
Advertising as an industry has undergone many changes in the last ten years. Read Chapter 1 of your textbook. Then, reflect on the types of changes the industry has faced in the past decade, specifically with regard to globalization and technology. Your post should be at least 350 words.

This week (and past weeks) your reading focuses on the techniques and tools you would use to collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence. While this class does not focus as heavily on the highly technical aspects of digital forensics (e.g., using the tools, techniques, processes to collect, preserve and analyze digital evidence), it does stress how to be prepared for the digital evidence process, as it fits into the criminal justice system.

Of course, it is critical that computer forensic examiners understand processes such as capturing volatile data, recognizing and collecting digital evidence, analyzing the evidence once it is collected, etc.; however, what I want you to focus on this week is why and how the processes are designed to identify, seize, collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence, and how they relate to the criminal justice process.

You should all understand the need to verify what a warrant will allow you to search for and seize in a criminal case (ensuring that you do not exceed the scope and potentially compromise your case). You should also be aware of what a company’s policy, or an organization’s leadership will allow you to do in a non-criminal justice investigation. In either case, you need to be able to testify about all the steps you took, articulating from the point when you were first notified of the incident or called in to collect the digital evidence, until the time you are called to testify about it. Digital evidence must not just be simply collected (e.g., picked up and put in a bag), but procedures must be put in place to preserve the evidence so the defense cannot raise reasonable doubt (in the criminal case) about the integrity or provenance of the evidence.

For this week’s discussion, complete the following questions below in detail. Please discuss thoroughly and substantively in your post. Additionally, respond in a thorough, substantive, intelligent way to at least one of your fellow classmates that adds to our discussion and learning of this week’s topic!

1) Describe at least 5 steps in a process to collect digital evidence to the time you testify that you consider important. Please explain why they are important.

2) You are a witness and I am asking you the following question – please answer thoroughly as if you are testifying in court on the witness stand. “Upon entering the room where the computer was located, what was the first thing you did?”

3) Continue your testimony by answering – “After seizing the computer evidence, explain what you did with it?”
