Discussion board reply | ETHC 101 – Introduction to Ethics | Liberty University

/in /by

  Reply: After reading your classmates’ threads, choose one to which you will respond, then write a reply that interacts with your classmate’s thread and presents a well-reasoned alternative to his or her approach to the issue. You do not have to defend a position that is diametrically opposed to your classmate’s position, but you do need to either defend a position that is significantly different from his/hers or defend the same position in a very different way. If possible, you must reply to a classmate to whom no one else has yet replied. Treat your classmate’s opinion with sensitivity and respect.

This is a university-level writing assignment. Therefore it must be carefully proofread, free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Do not use slang, emoticons, or abbreviations (as if you are texting or sending an email to a friend).

Your reply must be 500–600 words. You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself (including your classmate’s thread) must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count.
Kia Whitehead Promises

Is it ever rational to break a promise? Is keeping promises important? I started my paper asking those questions because that is something that is very near and dear to my heart. Broken promises is one of my pet peeves. If people think that breaking a promise is ok, they are suffering from a character flaw. I feel like honesty is the best, and if you feel like you can not accomplish the goal at hand it is ok to say no, or I will try, not going to make any promises at this time.  Personally,  I try to never do it, especially when it comes to relationships. Be it dating, marriages, friends, co workers or church.  We have relationships in all these areas of our lives. To me also mean that we are team players in all these areas as well. What happen when some one promises to be at the game but never shows up. It may sound simple,but we are all very valuable players. There are consequences to breaking promises, that some people only think about after the fact. Even when it comes to my 3 year old, we know it is near Christmas so these commercials are a bit much. He is asking for everything, and instead of saying yes, I say we will see. This way I do not feel like I am making him any promises.

On the other hand,  the only time I feel it is necessary to break a promise is when your life or some one else’s health or life depends on it. The other party may still be upset, but aleast they will be ok.  In this case I see the promise as being conditional or built on sinking sand. I would never break it to hurt you, but I am not going to let you put my life or yours in danger. For am example that would be likesuicide attempts, or since I studying child developmental psychology if one of my clients comes to me and says that he or she is being molested or abused in any way I have to tell. I have to do whats morally  right 

Lets look at it in another way. Promises that God has made to us. God has never broken a promise. He wants us to remind Him and call His word back to him. Have we done the same? I know that I have not, I can only speak for me. I have made some promises to God and have not kept my word. It hurts me now that I think about it, because what if he treated me that way. My goal is to never hurt anyone intentionally. By the way just because you ask God for something and you do not get it right away, does not mean he is not keeping His promise, it just means not right now. His timing is not ours. Lets just be mindful of the things we say and agree to. Keep it real.

Final project part i: product overview paper apa style

/in /by

You have been named the marketing director of a large pet supply company. Your company makes pet food, toys, and supplies that are sold in retail locations and via its online store. While the company has a robust website, it is not on any social media websites and prefers traditional media channels to promote its products. 

 

Your first job is to help the company launch a new pet food line. This line will be for both cats and dogs, and the company is excited because the product is made of all natural ingredients. 

The new pet food will be sold for about 10% more than its competitor’s pet food product. You will need to make some key strategic decisions about how to launch and promote this new product line. Assume you will have the budget that you need. 

Your Final Project Part I: Product Overview will be a written document, 2–4 pages in length, in APA format. A template has been provided to give additional details on the paper structure and content. 

 

Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: 

 

I. Initial Overview 

a) Market Factors Describe the internal and external market factors the company should consider.

i. Complete the SWOT matrix and include information on the product strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Provide necessary details to support each example. 

ii. Explain the SWOT findings and how they can help you market your new product. Consider what the strengths of the products are and how you can leverage those to take advantage of opportunities.  

b) Target Market Analysis  Describe the target market for the new product. i. What is your company’s target market? What is the demographic, psychographic, and geographic breakdown of your target market?  ii. What are the wants and needs of this target market? Why would the product either appeal to their wants or satisfy their needs?  

 

II. Marketing Strategy  Identify marketing strategies that you would suggest for the company.

a) Identify the most important marketing strategies that you would recommend the company use, and explain why you have chosen them. 

b) Outline the 4 P’s (price, place, promotion, and product) for each of the strategies you have identified. How will you use the 4 P’s to inform your strategies? 

c) Identify one marketing strategy you would recommend that the company avoid, and explain why.  

d) Outline the 4 P’s (price, place, promotion, and product) for the strategy you are not recommending. Are there changes you could make to the 4 P’s that would make the strategy more likely to be successful?

Part A. Cost Estimation in the News

Find a news article, magazine, or other periodical that features a project that was extremely complex. This may be from any domain such as construction, information technology, aerospace, etc. Examples include the cost overrun associated with the Big Dig (http://www.boston.com/globe/metro/packages/bechtel/) or the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Provide the source of your article and answer the following discussion questions:

  1. Who      were the main stakeholders in the project?
  2. What      were the technical sources of complexity that would drive cost?
  3. What      were the non-technical (i.e., people, processes, politics) sources of complexity      that would drive cost?
  4. How      could completion progress be measured on this project?
  5. Identify      any unique aspects of this project.

Part B. The Constructive Cost Model

Read chapters 1 and 2 of the COCOMO book and answer the following questions.

  1. Of the      six COCOMO II model objectives in Chapter 1, identify which ones you      believe are the most important to:
    1. Model       users (i.e., an engineer at an aerospace company)
    2. Model       developers (i.e., commercial tool vendor such as IBM)
    3. Model       evaluators (i.e., academic researcher)
  2. Figure      1.2 is also referred to as the “cone of uncertainty”. Comment on the shape of the curves,      specifically:
    1. whether       they should truly be symmetrical
    2. whether       they should converge at the point of software acceptance
    3. whether       programs are more frequently overestimated or underestimated
  3. Choose      one COCOMO II cost driver from Chapter 2 and discuss your personal experience with this phenomenon. Did you experience a cost/effort increase as a result or a decrease?
