Assignment 2: LASA 1: Taking Action

In this course, you have been introduced to ethics, social problems, and social policy. This assignment will prompt action from you to help resolve a social issue. You must learn about a problem, find a piece of legislation addressing your concern, and act to help solve the problem.

Using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, do the following:

1. Identify the Problem

Select and research a social issue based on the course readings or personal interest.

Then, address the following:

• Define and describe the social issue in detail using a variety of relevant outside sources.
• Explain the social context of the social issue.
• Identify and describe ethical concerns related to the social issue.
• Determine what population is most impacted by the social issue.

2. Find the Legislation

Use credible government sources to find and learn about a piece of legislation related to your chosen social problem or issue.

Then, address the following:

• Explain how the piece of current legislation relates to the social problem or issue. Make sure you provide a description of the piece of legislation.

3. Write an Advocacy Letter

In order to help resolve the social issue, you must take action. Identify your elected representative(s) and find their contact and e-mail addresses.

Write an advocacy letter regarding the piece of legislation and your support of or opposition to it.

The purpose of an advocacy letter is to support or oppose the legislation that affects a social issue of concern to you. This letter is a way for representatives to stay in touch with the constituents they represent. The letter consists of a brief introduction identifying and addressing the social issue of concern (through personal experience, if applicable), an identification of the piece of current legislation that addresses your chosen issue, and your request advocating your representative to support or oppose the legislation.

Be sure to address the following in your letter:

• Identify the purpose of your letter.
• Identify House bill (HR) or Senate bill (S) number of the legislation.
• Briefly summarize the social problem or issue.
• Explain the importance of the legislation as it relates to your issue.
• Advocate for or against the legislation in a knowledgeable and respectful tone. This includes the following:
  • Evaluating the proposed impact of the legislation on target population
  • Proposing possible ways the legislation can influence the social problem or issue

Download and review samples of advocacy letters. Use either of the sample letters as a template for your own letter.

Write a 3–5-page report in Word format that begins with an Advocacy Letter followed by a supporting report of 3–5-pages. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc.

MATH133: Unit 5 Individual Project 2B Student Answer Form
Name (Required): _____________________________
Please show all work details with answers, insert the graph, and provide answers to all the critical thinking questions on this form for the Unit 5 IP assignment.
In this assignment you will study an exponential function that is similar to Moore’s Law that was formulated by Dr. Gordon Moore, cofounder and Chairman Emeritus of Intel Corporation.
The following is a table representing the number of transistors in Intel CPU chips between the years 1971 and 2000:
Processor Transistor Count Year of Introduction
Intel 4004 2,300 1971
Intel 8085 6,500 1976
Intel 80286 134,000 1982
Intel 80486 1,180,235 1989
Pentium Pro 5,500,000 1995
Pentium 4 42,000,000 2000
Core 2 Duo ? 2006
Core 2 Duo and Quad Core + GPU Core i7 ? 2011

If x equals the number of years after 1971 (the year 1971 means x = 0), then these data can be mathematically modeled by the exponential function y = f(x) = 2,300(1.4x).
For each question, be sure to show all your work details for full credit. Round all value answers to three decimal places.

Let’s begin early before the deadline…
Reframing the academic paper so that it is life affirming rather than creating yet another position of higher-than-thou against a perceived lesser attitude, belief, action and/or value of “the Other”.
Begin with the perceived problem.
⦁ Define the nature of the problem.
⦁ Explain what has caused or led to the problem.
⦁ Establish who is involved.
⦁ Explain the extent of the problem.
⦁ Finally, explain the future effects if nothing changes.
⦁ Avoid fallacies.
⦁ If you can, find other communities or countries that experienced this issue.
⦁ Address the different parties’ concerns.
⦁ Explain how others view the topic and the concerns of those people when it comes to trying to solve it.
⦁ Address alternatives that those involved in the issue have put forth if any.
⦁ Does their “solution” work for everyone? Why or why not?
⦁ Does anybody receive more resources (physical, emotional, mental) than others?
⦁ Does their solution leave anybody out?
⦁ Are the alternatives fair and just to everyone?
Establish common ground.
⦁ Where and/or on what do the differing parties agree on?
⦁ What values to they have in common?
⦁ What goals do they have in common?
Establish criteria for a solution that will work for everyone involved. [Note: This may be the most challenging, but we can do it.]
Reframe the problem. Choose a fresh idea, a new path, a different way of being.
We need another way of looking at “the problem” where we can actually resolve the issue because we can see it.
NOTES from Sharif Abdullah’s TEDx Talk.
Inclusivity allows us to see another reality.
Inclusivity: A key element of all the wisdom traditions: “Do unto others as we’d have them do unto you.”

Inclusivity is not the same as inclusiveness. We’re not including others to helping others “see our truth”.

Inclusivity is the idea, the notion, the concept that I am linked to you inextricably; whether I like you or not. Linked to you regardless if I’m conscious of you or not. I’m harming you and I’m harming me at the same time. I’m helping you and helping me at the same time. This gives us a way, perhaps a new way, to see how we interact with all others.

Inclusivity gives you a lens to see a different point of view.

Advocacy of the whole: we’ve been good at looking at part of our society as a whole. And it’s not the whole. When we say the whole, we’re not talking about all progressives, brown, black, or even all people. The whole means the advocacy of the whole, all living beings.

–End of Abdullah–
Graham Hancock says that Western establishments value what he calls the “alert problem-solving state of consciousness”, one that’s good for “the more mundane aspects of science, the prosecution of warfare, commerce, politics”.  However, as Hancock mentions, the over-investment in such a state has failed us, given the inequality, destruction, and pollution that has resulted.
