Read all ten of the links posted in the logical fallacies module. It is important that you read and understand all ten of these, and not just for the assignment, but also for the topics that we will be covering over the next weeks. In addition to reading these ten pages, submit (via D2L) a response to your readings that highlight the following: Which three of these ten fallacies do you feel like you have heard the most in your time while communicating with others? Explain the situation and how you handled it for each of the three. Your experiences do not have to relate to environmental issues, but if they do, then please share those. In doing so, demonstrate that you understand the type of fallacy well 1)https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-circular-reasoning/ 2) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/04/03/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-hasty-generalization-and-the-ecological-fallacy/ 3) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/03/14/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-the-slippery-slope/ 4) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-squirrel-i-mean-non-sequitur/ 5) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-the-straw-man/ 6) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/02/15/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-ad-hominem/ 7) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/02/22/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-either-or/ 8) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/04/15/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-unrealistic-and-hypocritical-environmentalists/ 9) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-the-test/ 10) https://enviropaul.wordpress.com/2016/03/26/logical-fallacies-and-the-environment-the-gambler-and-the-sharp-shooter/

Describe and explain a clear distinction between “globalism” and “globalization” after viewing the video and reading the article. Describe how being a global citizen in the world of advanced technology can be beneficial to your success in meeting your personal, academic, and professional goals. Explain why there has been disagreement between theorists about the definition of global citizenship and develop your own definition of global citizenship after reading the article by Reysen and Katzarska-Miller. Choose two of the six outcomes of global citizenship from the article (i.e., intergroup empathy, valuing diversity, social justice, environmental sustainability, intergroup helping, and the level of responsibility to act for the betterment of this world). Explain why those two outcomes are the most important in becoming a global citizen compared to the others. Describe at least two personal examples or events in your life that illustrate the development of global citizenship based on the two outcomes you chose. Identify two specific general education courses. Explain how each course influenced you to become a global citizen.

Time to visit the NASA Picture of the Day website again! This is the APOD post 2 of 7 required for the course. Remember that every day NASA posts a different image or photograph of our amazing Universe. The picture is accompanied with a brief caption explanation written by a professional astronomer. For this class discussion you will begin by going to the NASA picture of the day website: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html (Links to an external site.) Browse through this past week’s images and find one that jumps out at you. Review the image and read the caption explanation below it. Do some quick Internet research to see what else you can find out about the image or caption explanation. Now, answer the following questions in your post:  Why were you drawn to this image?  Based on what you have learned in this class and your own Internet research, provide some facts and/or insights about the image. If you use Internet sources please include the URL for the webpage(s) in your post. Do not just paraphrase the caption description below the NASA image. I have listed some questions below that may help you get ideas on what to write. You do not have to answer all of these questions in your post. They are just here to help you generate ideas. How does this relate to the content that we have learned so far in this class? Do you have any personal experiences that you can share with the class related to this astronomy image? What are one or two things that you were surprised and/or happy to learn about the image? Why were you surprised and/or happy? Provide the URL/web address to the image you selected; you can copy and paste it directly from your browser.

A Significant Ethical Issue in ….. (Professional area to be selected by student based upon personal interest and knowledge) A significant ethical issue confronting a professional field will be determined by the student.  It is expected that students will choose a field in which they expect to be involved upon graduation.  The issue should be specific enough that the student can fully describe and address it in the following ways: Describe the issue in “lay-person” terms and provide definitions for any technical terminology being used.  This should be written as if it were to be published in a venue being read by practitioners in the field but also the interested public. Define the issue in terms of its significance to the field (for example, has it always been an issue or is it of greater significance now and why? Is it an issue in the U.S. or developed countries, or western society, or is it universal?)  Are there potential ramifications if the issue is not addressed or is left unresolved?  What are they? Describe various factual and normative arguments surrounding the issue from differing “sides”. Apply at least 3 ethical theories. This means thoroughly defining each theory with at least 2 separate, credible sources and then step by step explaining how the issue applies or rejects the ethical theory. Identify the prominent representatives of each of the perspectives involved, i.e. who is voicing the argument?  What do they represent?  What do they base their views upon?   What is your position?  Support your views with appropriate arguments from those presented.

JUST ANSWER THE CASE SCENARIO QUESTIONS IN AN APA 7TH ED FORMATTED PAPER….. CASE: You remember the day you passed your boards and became a licensed nurse practitioner (NP) like it was yesterday. It was exciting to think about the impact you could have on your patients’ health and how you could improve their quality of life with your expanded role working in the office of Dr. Martin, your collaborating physician. You felt confident in your ability to diagnose and to prescribe medications and treatments, and you felt especially comforted by the rapport you built with Dr. Martin over many years of practicing as a registered nurse (RN). Your comfort level waned when Dr. Martin announced her intention to retire in 2 months. Dr. Martin’s practice was part of a large physician network, and the practice administrator informed you that your new collaborating physician is at another location, and that you will be absorbing most of Dr. Martin’s caseload. The thought of single-handedly managing such a large caseload feels overwhelming to you, even though the practice administrator notes that many of your questions about your changing role will be answered in the coming months. QUESTIONS: 1. How might changes in the health-care system, insurance, and technology present challenges to your own self-care? 2. Feeling overwhelmed in your new role, you ask an NP from one of the other practices about the methods they use for self-care. The colleague suggested that you start by doing a self-assessment and then set some goals. How might this help you 3. What are some of the physical signs and symptoms that indicate increased stressors that you should note?

Think of a small business owner or entrepreneur with whom you are familiar.

Instructions Typologies and Classification of Terrorist Organizations As you have learned in this unit, there are several typologies and classification systems of terrorism both in the United States and abroad. Typologies and classification systems are important when assessing the different types of terrorist organizations that exist, and the specific geographic areas in which they reside.

Your essay should address the following: Explain the following typologies: state terrorism, state-sponsored terrorism, and state-enabled terrorism. Explain ideologies of left-wing and right-wing terrorism. Outline at least one country and one terrorist organization in that country that has been deemed a “state-sponsor” of terrorism by the United States. Why is this country considered a state-sponsor of terrorism? What sanctions has the United States implemented against the country outlined? Does this nation provide a safe haven for terrorists? If so, for what groups? Do you believe that the country outlined has a chance of being taken off the state sponsors of terrorism list? Why, or why not? Is this country considered a “failed-state”? Why, or why not? What characteristics of a failed state does this country have? (Please be sure to thoroughly read page 194 in your textbook, which explains the five characteristics of failed states.) What role does the United States Department of State have in the determination of state-sponsored nations? How do the four waves of terrorism relate to the group in which you have chosen?
