 PLEASE DO DISCUSSION BELOW AND REPLY TO EDWARD AND QUENTIN: DISCUSSION: Which do you believe presents the greatest threat to civil society: a  corporation that commits crimes (e.g., murder, environmental crimes, or  bribery), or persons who commit crimes that harm businesses (e.g.,  embezzlement, fraud, or larceny)? Defend your response, using at least  one example from current events. Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your  fellow students’ posts in a substantive manner. Some ways to do this  include the following, though you may choose a different approach,  providing your response is substantive:   Review the posts made  by your peers.   In response to your peers, first identify a  non-traditional or creative way in which a corporation might be punished  for committing a crime. Then discuss the consequences of implementing  that punishment to the example used by your peer. REPLY TO EDWARD:   I believe that the individuals who commit crimes against the business  present a higher threat to society, because they are tampering with the  products and services that are sold to consumers. This can cause  businesses to spike their prices and put customers information at risk  of getting used such as their banking information. A lot of identity  theft and computer hacking has been going on lately where companies’  financial system gets broken into and all the customers get their credit  card and checking account information stolen. Most of these individuals  picked up computer tampering skills through information technology by  way of school and on their job. Some would even believe that people who kill, rob, and conduct  unlawful sexual acts are the ones who spend years in prison because they  are violent crimes. However, nonviolent crimes such as fraud can be  considered a “first-degree felony: Punishable by death or imprisonment  from 15 years to life, or by a fine of up to $250,000” (Seaquist, 2012,  p. 6.2). About 2 months ago, there was an Equifax breach that uncovered  millions of consumers identity and fiscal information. “That means that  the personal information— Social Security numbers, credit card numbers,  addresses, driver’s license numbers, and birth dates—of roughly half of  the U.S. population was likely compromised.” (Grau, 2017, p. 16). The  victims of these crimes get their bank accounts wiped out and their  credit ruined, making it hard for them to survive. References Grau, D. (2017). Equifax was hacked. Now what? Journal of financial planning, 30(11), 16-19. Seaquist, G. (2012). Business law for managers. Retrieved from https://content.ashford.edu/ (Links to an external site.) REPLY TO QUENTIN:   Crime  is one thing that has always been and probably will always be. Seaquist  defined crime as “A wrong as defined by state or federal statute”  (Seaquist, 2012, Glossary). Crime is categorized into three separate  classes: felonies, misdemeanors, and violations. Crime has existed in  civil life and business life. To answer the question as to which is the  greatest threat, I would say that crime committed by businesses ranks  highest. Business crimes include fraud of any kind, electronic hacking,  murder, embezzlement, bribes, and business larceny, money laundering,  etc. to name a few. The reason as to which business crimes are greater  in intensity is because they affect more people. People who commit  crimes, once caught, will be reprimanded for their actions and the  crimes will more than likely cease, although the effects are still  evident and have to be resolved. The crimes end up costing businesses  extra money due to fraud. The government is able to investigate these  crimes and punish as the law permits. Although no company is exempt from  this type of crime, but companies can be proactive and maintain a  strong controls department and proper training to identify fraud. Caterpillar, heavy machinery maker, did not fully comply with the tax  and finance reporting of the USA. They failed to report their profits  of close to 8 billion from Switzerland but rather reported them as  loans. The result was “Caterpillar shares were down 3% in premarket  trading following The Times' report” (Oyedele, 2017, para. 6). Tax  evasion and fraud seem to be one of the most common crimes by  individuals and companies, maybe for the ease of it. Who knows! Oyedele, A. (2017).

The activity/questions are adapted from a library tutorial at the University of Arizona.  If you created a question with just the broad topic, you might have asked, “Should we raise the minimum wage?” However, this topic can be discussed through many lens. Are you considering the ethical reasons why people should make a living wage, or are you considering the larger financial benefits to the overall economy? Will you discuss the benefits for working teenagers, working parents, or single millennials? Will this affect healthcare, education, or the costs of living? If you go into your paper preparing to argue why we should or shouldn't raise the minimum wage, your paper will lack a clear focus and be all over the place. Therefore, you need to narrow your topic.  Once you have completed your pyramid, you can create a more focused research question that will allow you to present a more precise argument. Now our research question is no longer “Should we raise the minimum wage?” Instead, we might ask, “Will raising the minimum wage improve the lives of single mothers and their children in urban US cities?” Keep track of your process when you complete the pyramid activity and then post your results for this discussion board. As always, please respond to two of your peers. Comment on their process and their final research question. Did they narrow it enough? It is interesting and relevant? And finally, do you think this will make a good argumentative research paper? Peers responses: 1.Katherine Rodgers: Cussing So, I want to argue about if cuss words are really necessary to use in everyday life. So I will show what I narrowed downs: Feelings Expressions Language Social Are cuss words really necessary in everyday life? 2.Adriana Ravelo: Grouping by ability From "401 Prompts for Argumentative Writing": 181. What Do You Think of Grouping Students by Ability in Schools? PYRAMID: Broad topic: Grouping in schools by abilities Population: students K-12 Location: United States schools Point of view: Educational Time: Long term RESEARCH QUESTION: “Are children with lower performance abilities in math and language affected by being grouped in low level classes?”

First, please consider this list of failures and successes(http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/education/failures.htm) in the life of Abraham Lincoln. We're suggesting that one of Lincoln's greatest attributes was his ability to recover and learn from failure. The quality of perseverance seemed especially useful to Lincoln as he struggled with "melancholy" (what might now be called depression) Please read this related article (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2005/10/lincolns-great-depression/304247/) by Joshua Wolf Shenk.  For Lincoln, learning how to persevere also meant learning how to adapt. Based on your reading of Shenk's article, please identify three of Lincoln's most successful adaptation strategies (skills, habits, or ways of thinking) that helped him use his struggle with depression to accomplish worthy goals. 

   Introduction: Deductive Argument Example: Claim: It is wrong for parents to allow children to watch violent movies Analysis: My argument is deductive. My first premise is the broad general principle that children daily face examples of violence in the real world. My next premise is that watching violent movies helps children to think about how to deal with violent behavior. My conclusion is that watching violent movies is okay for kids. This argument has indicator words “if” and “then” so it is truth-functional. It would be stated this way: If children face violence daily then they need to think about how to deal with it. Violent movies help them to think about violence and how to deal with it. Therefore, it is okay for children to watch violent movies. Inductive Argument Example: Claim: It is wrong for parents to allow children to watch violent movies Analysis: This is an inductive argument. While the very first premise of the argument uses deductive reasoning, it is not part of a chain, so it is treated as Premise 1. Premise 2 is about the unreality of violent movies, and Premise 3 is about violence as a solution to conflict. Premise 4 compares the world of movie violence to real-world violence. These are four independent reasons, any one of which offers support that the conclusion, violent movies are not okay for children, is probably true. Read the following argument examples in this activity. Argument 1: Dick and Jane have insured their house and cars with Farmer’s Mutual for 10 years. During this time, they filed only one claim for $500, and the premiums have risen 100%. Two weeks ago, while backing out of the garage, Jane damaged the right fender. They didn’t fix it, and yesterday, while Jane was parked at the supermarket, someone hit the right side of the car, damaging everything but the right fender. When Jane checks the insurance policy, she discovers that while the supermarket accident is covered, the damaged right fender is not. Jane says, “Let’s claim that all the damage happened at the supermarket. It’s only fair. The insurance company has made thousands of dollars from our premiums alone, not to mention all the other people they insure, so they’ll hardly miss the few thousands that their repairs will cost. Many of their friends have done the same – included items that were not part of actual collision damage. It’s unlikely that they we will be discovered, because the fender could easily have been damaged in the collision.” Argument 2  In a world where medical resources are in ever-shorter supply, allocation of those resources is becoming an issue. Critical care units (ICU) put heavy demand on hospital resources. Adult medical intensive care units (MICU's) are often occupied by elderly patients in the final stages of chronic illnesses. Neonatal ICU's, however, are reserved for premature infants that need critical care in the first few days of life. Surveys of mortality rates in relation to amount of care for both units show that on a cost/benefit basis, outcomes for NICU patients are statistically better than those for MICU patients. Since hospitals should prioritize outcomes, it is clear that resources should be allocated more heavily to the NICU. Using the examples in the introduction of this activity, address the following:   1. Briefly analyze each argument as follows: - State the issue and the conclusion. - For each argument, analyze the argument: - State if it is deductive or inductive. - Explain how the argument follows the form of an inductive or deductive argument. - Reference words, phrases, the structure of the argument, or any other facts or observations you believe support your claim. 2. Diagram the argument.
