We’re going to explore some topics associated with the financial and social crises that impacted Portugal in the years 2008-2012. An interesting article that may guide you and provide you with some context is “The Portuguese Slump and Crash and the Euro Crisis”, by the Portuguese economist Ricardo Reis.(Canvas, pdf) More than studying concepts or diving into economy, my interest is to study culture and identity, so I suggest you just get acquainted with basic info regarding that time in Portuguese history. Guidelines: You are writing a 800 word paper (you can go beyond the word limit, but this is the minimum) Your paper must have a title, an introduction, and a conclusion. Your paper should be original and avoid language provided by AI software (these kinds of platforms usually provide you with general info and common places regarding Portugal) Your goal is to focus on the idea of crisis. Some questions: What happened in Portugal throughout these years? What happened to the Portuguese throughout these years? What can you say about the waves of emigration of Portuguese during that time? Do you have data? Can you find cultural elements that illustrate the idea of crisis during these years? Music, film, articles online, newspaper articles, YouTube videos?

In this paper, you will choose to write on one of the following two options: (1) Out of all the theories of human nature we have examined in the class, which one do you agree with the most? In this paper, you should begin by explaining in detail the philosopher’s theory. Assume that your audience knows nothing about the subject or the philosopher you are discussing. Be sure to include quotes from the text to support your explanation of the theory. You should also give your own examples to illustrate the ideas you are presenting. After you have thoroughly explained the philosopher’s views, you will give the reasons why you agree with that view. Be sure that these are reasons that anyone can understand, whether or not they share your religious background, political beliefs, or personal tastes. Of course your beliefs and opinions may inspire your agreement with the philosopher, but you want to try to persuade your reader to agree with you, and to do so, it is best to assume that your reader doesn’t share your beliefs. Imagine that you are a lawyer and try to give evidence to support your views. Finally, after your group presentation, you should explain a few objections to your view that were raised by your audience, and then end your paper by replying to these objections, again trying to convince your reader to agree with you.
Hello I have 1 assignment and it's really easy you need to find one movie or tv-show summarize it and connect it to one of the theory concepts we learned. I will give you the exact assignments once I get in contact with someone.
Length: 1000 words minimum (~4 pages double spaced, but please pay attention to the word count rather than the page count). Prompt: Thomas Hobbes argues in Leviathan that humans possess "a general inclination… to a perpetual and restless desire for power after power, a desire that ceases only in death." In his view, this desire drives much of human behavior and shapes the need for a strong governing authority to prevent chaos. Do you agree with Hobbes’ assertion that the pursuit of power is an inherent, unending trait of human nature? Why or why not? In your essay, refer to at least one other philosopher or theory covered in the course to support or challenge Hobbes’ perspective. Instructions: It is not necessary to read or refer to texts or sources besides the ones assigned in the course. But if you do, you must cite your sources (see previous point for details). Failure to do this may constitute plagiarism. You can use any one of the major citation styles (Chicago, APA, MLA), but the simplest thing to do is just to include the author, title, and page number in parentheses after a quotation, similar to what I have in the slides (which is the Chicago Author-Date style). Quotations should be kept to a reasonable length. Don’t include unnecessarily long quotations to pad your essay, but make sure that they are long enough that they make sense (both grammatically and logically) when they are removed from the context of the original source.

Assignment due Wednesday, December 4, 2024 by 11:00pm In this assignment, you will create a personal ethical framework—a set of principles that guides how you approach and resolve moral decisions. This process will help you: · explore and define your values, · understand different ethical theories, and · apply these insights to real-world dilemmas. The assignment consists of several structured steps, each designed to guide you through the process of identifying and reflecting on your values, analysing ethical conflicts, and applying ethical theories to practical situations. You’ll start by examining various ethical theories we’ve covered in class, identifying key aspects that resonate with you or challenge your beliefs. Next, you’ll select your core values and explain why they hold significance for you, connecting these values with relevant ethical theories. You’ll also reflect on potential conflicts between values, detailing your approach to resolving such dilemmas. Finally, you’ll apply your framework to an ethical scenario, analysing how your values and chosen theories guide your decisions. In the end, you’ll submit a reflective essay (800-1200 words) that outlines your framework and discusses how this assignment and the Ethics course has shaped your understanding of ethics and moral decision making. Submit to Forum: all 4 preparation tasks and the final reflection (800-1200 words). Your reflection will be graded on the following LOs: Professionalism: Ensure that your communication follows established guidelines and use a careful editing process. EthicalTheory: Identify the main claims, concepts, criticisms and justifications of an ethical theory. EthicalConflicts: Resolve conflicts among competing ethical claims and act in a way that best satisfies relevant ethical considerations. EthicalFraming: Define ethical problems by framing them in a way that helps to resolve them. EthicalDilemmas: Discuss specific ethical dilemmas posed by the distribution of a public good, international issue, and taking or saving a life.
