Due Week 4 and worth 100 points

 

I will need which topic you will be writing on from the 3 choices below by 1/10/2015 18:00 EST.

 

Choose one (1) of the three (3) reading selections from the list of topic choices below. The focus is on brief but important primary source material written by major authors. Read the selections  as identified with each topic below. Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (250 words minimum) which analyzes the “surprise ending” of the reading selection.

Topic Choices

• Reading selection from Descartes’ Discourse on the Method (Part IV). Descartes begins with a  proof of one basic conclusion and ends with a proof of something much grander. Remember to focus on the surprise and point of realization, not the details of the philosophical argument. Read Part IV of the Discourse on the Method located at http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/assets/pdfs/descartes1637.pdf (then scroll down to Part 4, pp. 14-18). This is only four or five (4 or 5) pages of the larger work.
• Reading selection of Swift’s A Modest Proposal. It is essential to recognize the genre of this work, as discussed in our class text, which you should consult and cite. Swift promotes a radical solution, but subtle options are mentioned. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. Read and focus on A Modest Proposal located at http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/swift/modest.html.
• Two (2) reading selections from Voltaire’s Candide. Consider how these readings start and end in terms of the action and the beliefs. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. These selections can be found on pp. 840-841 in the textbook. In addition, consult the class text at pp. 824-825.

For the reading selection you choose:

1. Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Clearly identify the point in the reading when you realized that there were elements in the reading that surprised you. Not all of the surprises come at the end.
2. Evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the “surprise ending” that was different from what you expected.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. (Note: Students can find APA style materials located in the Additional Resources section of their Student Center within their course shell for reference)
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
• Use the source(s) identified above for the topic you choose, focusing on the main primary source of that author. You may use additional sources also if they are of good academic quality for college papers (Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify). Use proper APA style in-text citing and also a matching APA style References list at the end.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Explain how key social, cultural, and artistic contributions contribute to historical changes.
• Explain the importance of situating a society’s cultural and artistic expressions within a historical context.
• Examine the influences of intellectual, religious, political, and socio-economic forces on social, cultural, and artistic expressions.
• Identify major historical developments in world cultures from the Renaissance to the contemporary period.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in the study of world cultures.
• Write clearly and concisely about world cultures using proper writing mechanics.

Assignment 2: The Weighted Average Cost of Capital

By Tuesday, January 12, 2016, complete the following assignment:

Coogly Company is attempting to identify its weighted average cost of capital for the coming year and has hired you to answer some questions they have about the process. They have asked you to present this information in a PowerPoint presentation to the company’s management team.  The company would like for you to keep your presentation to approximately 10 slides and use the notes section in PowerPoint to clarify your point. Your presentation should address the following questions and offer a final recommendation to Coogly. Make sure you support your answers and clearly explain the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing the weighted average cost of capital methodology. Include at least one graph or chart in your presentation.

Company Information

The capital structure for the firm will be maintained and is now 10% preferred stock, 30% debt, and 60% new common stock.  No retained earnings are available.   The marginal tax rate for the firm is 40%.

1. Coogly has outstanding preferred stock That pays a dividend of $4 per share and sells for $82 per share, with a floatation cost of $6 per share. What is the component cost for Coogly’s preferred stock? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using preferred stock in the capital structure?
2. If the company issues new common stock, it will sell for $50 per share with a floatation cost of $9 per share. The last dividend paid was $3.80 and this dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 7% for the foreseeable future. What is the cost of new equity to the firm? What are the advantages and disadvantages of issuing new equity in the capital structure?
3. The company will use new bonds for any capital project, according to the capital structure. These bonds will have a market and par value of $1000, with a coupon rate of 6% and a floatation cost of 7%. The bonds will mature in 20 years and no other debt will be used for any new investments. What is the cost of new debt? What are the advantages and disadvantages of issuing new debt in the capital structure?

Directions: Please answer each of the following questions and provide examples from the text, if applicable.  Each response should be at least two paragraphs in length composed of five to seven sentences and be written in complete sentences.

 

1.  Describe at least three software tools that can help you revise and polish a document.

 

A: Software tools such as revision marks and commenting keep track of proposed editing changes electronically and provide a history of a document’s revisions. A spell checker compares your document with an electronic dictionary, highlights unrecognized words, and suggests correct spellings. A computer thesaurus gives you alternative words much more quickly than a printed thesaurus does. A grammar checker provides limited help with issues such as noun-verb agreement problems and items you should consider changing (such as passive voice, long sentences, or words that tend to be misused or overused). Finally, a style checker monitors your word choice and sentence structure and suggests alternatives that might produce more effective meaning.

 

2.  Briefly explain the difference between word processing software and desktop publishing software.

 

 

 

3.  Briefly explain the difference between descriptive headings and informative headings.

 

 

 

4.  Briefly explain what the opening of a document should accomplish.

 

 

 

5.  List at least two examples of community participation websites, and briefly explain what these websites are designed to accomplish.

8. Explain how inappropriate use of e-mail at work can lead to legal problems.

 

 

 

9.  Explain how to apply the three-step writing process to instant messages.

 

 

 

10.  Give at least three examples of how podcasts could replace more traditional message formats in business.

 

PART II

 

This week you learned about short messaging styles, such as those used in instant messaging and text messaging, and compared them to scholarly writing and business writing.  It is known that language and writing evolves over time and there is a push by some English scholars to evolve the English language in such a way that text-type shortcuts are acceptable ways to write in U.S. English.  Research and identify two sources that are behind this movement and write a position paper explaining whether you agree with that position or not.  Be sure to back up your viewpoint with at least two scholarly sources and cite and reference in APA format.  Your submitted paper should be at least four pages in length and in APA format.

 

 

 

 

 

PART III: Journal

 

 

 

Write a two page APA formatted paper in which you review the primary material you learned this week, describe at least two ways that you can apply the material, and source the original reference using APA format.

Unit 8: ASSIGNMENTS – Final Paper OUTLINE

The outline should provide a brief overview of your paper and identify some of the sources you will draw on. Please address the following issues:

• THE SOCIAL PROBLEM: What is the social problem you will examine.
• HISTORY OF PROBLEM AND POLICY: When did the problem first emerge historically? What historical eras will you examine?
• CONTEMPORARY POLICIES STRATEGIES:  What contemporary federal policy will you examine in-depth.
• ARGUMENT: What is the paper’s primary argument/thesis?
• ANNOTATED SOURCES:  Please provide 8 scholarly sources you will use in your discussion. The articles should come from appropriate sources (peer reviewed journal, research/position papers of legitimate think thanks or research centers, government documents may be appropriate as well).
•                 Sources should be in APA style. Sources should be up to date in most cases (some seminal or historical works may be older).
•             There should be a brief annotation of the source summarizing its’ major finding or contribution. Please explain why it is relevant/appropriate to/for your topic.

Policy Analysis Paper

The final assignment for this course is a policy paper that analyzes a specific “social problem,” the historical emergence of the social problem, the history of policy interventions designed to address the problem, and contemporary proposals, ideologies, and debates that surround a contemporary FEDERAL social welfare policy in your chosen topic/arena. 

Requirements

This paper should be 12-15, double-spaced, typed pages with 12-point font. This page length DOES NOT include references.  The references and footnotes should follow American Psychological Association (APA) formatting.  Please see the publication manual of the American Psychological Association (6^th Ed) for guidelines. It is also available on the web at www.apa.org.

Getting Started

One way is to start by identifying a target population in which you are interested.  Then choose a specific problem experienced by the population. Of course many populations experience multiple social problems—but try to hone in on one or two specific problems that are addressed by federal policies.  For example, poverty problems and the elderly, homelessness and the mentally ill, domestic violence, or teenage motherhood and poverty.  The topic must be broad enough to ensure that contemporary and historical policy literature exists and narrow enough not to be overwhelming.  In your discussion of the policy response, you will discuss one or two contemporary FEDERAL policies that address the problem.  For example, if you’re looking at domestic violence, you may want to choose the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).  If you’re looking at the issue of poverty among the elderly, you might end up discussing the Old Age Security and Disability Insurance Program (OASDI) of the Social Security Act.

            Contents/Outlines

Your paper should cover the following 6 sections, following the outline below:

INTRODUCTION: Introduce your reader to your paper topic and your argument/thesis. What will you be discussing? What are you going to argue/prove in this paper?

THE SOCIAL PROBLEM: Introduce the reader to the population group and the social problem(s) that you have selected. What is the specific problem being analyzed? Who is the population experiencing it? Provide some statistics regarding the subgroups who experience it. You may include such factors as the age, gender, ethnicity, and region in your description of the target population. What are the observable signs of the problem (e.g. scope, magnitude) and what are the consequences of the problem for the population, sub populations?  Use this section to introduce your main argument or thesis. What are you trying to prove in this paper?

HISTORY OF PROBLEM AND POLICY: This piece has two components. You may choose to define them separately, or together, depending on the logical flow of your paper. Part I is to explain, based on your literature review, the history of the emergence of this problem as a “social problem”  in the United States. What social, economic, and political factors contributed to its emergence? How has the problem definition changed over time? What are the trends in ideological and value-based approaches to the problem as a social problem? Part II is to explain the history of government and/or other institutional response to the problem. How has the problem been treated over time? What policy solutions have been offered? What historical factors led to more or less relative concern with the problem? What are some of the underlying historical factors involved in these policy responses (e.g. were there gender, race, class, or other dynamics?). You’ll need to link this historical analysis back to the paper’s main argument.

DISCUSS CONTEMPORARY POLICIES STRATEGIES: This is where you discuss contemporary solutions to the problem. You should focus on one or two (at most) federal policy solutions.  Where are we now in trying to solve the problem? What has changed today to influence the redefinition of the problem (i.e., how has the problem changed over time)? How has policy been reshaped? Describe in detail the current policy designed to meet the problem. You can use the Gilbert and Terrell reading to help with your discussion here.

EVALUATE THE POLICY.  Provide an analysis of the current policy as it stands. Your evaluation should also address social justice issues.  Has there been any outcome research concerning this policy strategy? If so, what does it show? Use the historical background to guide this analysis—How do contemporary strategies reflect their historical precedents?  How do they differ? Be sure to weigh your evaluation against other viable alternatives. In this section, you will present your paper’s main argument in full force.

CONCLUSION. Based on your comprehensive analysis, offer suggestions as to the policy direction that we should take in tackling the problem. What are the barriers to moving in this direction? What are the social or economic conditions that might favor your suggestions?

BIBLIOGRAPHY: Your bibliography should include at minimum 10 sources.  The Social Welfare Policy Research Guide available at the library  http://libguides.rutgers.edu/socialworkpolicy is a great place to start to help find references and resources. The majority of your sources should be scholarly books and articles published in academic journals or policy brief and articles published by legitimate research centers/think tanks. The Social Welfare Policy Research Guide will help you to find and distinguish between various types of sources..  In addition, IRIS (which houses books) and electronic indices such as Sociological Abstracts, and America: History and Life are invaluable in finding sources through the library. It is strongly recommended that you use the RU library site—rather than a general internet search—for the bulk of your research as the library houses or links too well vetted materials.

Grading:The final paper is worth 30% of final grade. Papers will be gradedalong the
