Reading Response Paper Topic 1
Reading Response Paper Topic 1 One way to think about justice is to raise the question of rights and where they come from. Following elements of John Locke’s political philosophy, modern libertarians such as Robert Nozick maintain that we are born with certain basic entitlements. Principal among these so called natural rights are liberty and property. Questions of a just society for Nozick, then, become questions of how to best safe guard our right to liberty generally and, in particular, our right to private property and free exchange. Others, such as John Rawls, reject the idea that we have rights independent from societal inclusion. One way of putting it is that from the communitarian perspective all rights are civil, not natural, in origin. For many of this viewpoint justice then becomes a question of protecting the principals agreed upon for social living. Write a 46 page essay for a general reader that: 1) Lays out what a Lockean right or natural right is supposed to be; 2) Explains how such rights are supposed to relate to Nozick’s entitlement theory of just distribution; 3) Demonstrates how Nozick uses the Wilt Chamberlin example to argue for his preferred view; 4) Raises the question of society and natural rights by considering Rawls’ focus on the original position and fairness; 5) Shows how the veil of ignorance is supposed to work and why ignorance might be required in thinking about justice; 6) Says what two principles allegedly fall out of the veil of ignorance and why Rawls thinks free exchange must be conditioned by equality of opportunity; and, 7) Explores in some detail the possible implications of these two different approaches to justice and economic distribution for the poverty case study outlined in section 3.3 of chapter 3. You may advance a thesis if you choose but be sure to offer reasons for the view you wish to defend. In writing for a general reader you should assume very little by way of background knowledge. In particular, make sure you do not address your remarks directly to me or anyone familar with the essay prompt or our other course materials (including our text). In this regard it is very useful to include an introductory paragraph that both presents your overall ethical concern in a way that would capture a general readers attention and provides a sketch of what you plan to say about it. Avoid bullet points and make sure your paragraphs bear some relation to one another and to carrying out the agenda presented in the introduction. You may use other sources and direct quotation but as always you must cite your sources and use largely your own words and ideas. Format This assignment should be 4 pages long, double spaced, with 1 inch margins, 12 pt. font, and submitted as a (.doc), (.docx) or Rich Text File (.rtf) document. Check the syllabus for acceptable file name format. FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENTS TO BE DONE AT A CHEAPER PRICE PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US NOW :)

Analyze the work of a theorist (from Hobbes and on) that we have read in terms of his/her approach to liberty. “Liberty” is a large topic, so it is important to structure your analysis with some fundamental questions: Does the theorist view liberty as fundamental to what it means to be human? Why or why not? Does the theorist view liberty as fundamental to the (good or bad) functioning of the state? Why or why not? Is liberty / should liberty be integral the arrangements of power? Has this theorist’s approach to liberty fundamentally influenced the way we view liberty in the 21st century?

Imagine that it is the year 2199. Technology has progressed at an incredible pace. The latest discovery is the plutonium engine, which is capable of converting plutonium, a byproduct of nuclear fission, into fuel to power the nuclear reactors in our new form of transportation, the rocketcar. However, because the firm that invented the engine, the Futures Unlimited Corporation, already has a government license to control and distribute the quantity of this certain isotope of plutonium on the market, it is now conceivably in charge of a monopoly on plutoniumfueled transportation. 1. Describe the economic outcome of this singleprice monopoly in terms of profit. Provide one (1) supporting fact to support your response. 2. Describe one (1) way that the Futures Unlimited Corporation makes output and price decisions. Part B 1. Would consumers benefit more from a tariff or a quota on imports? Provide one (1) supporting fact to support your response. 2. Consider the following weekly production possibilities of gloves and hats in Panama and Russia: Russia Panama Gloves 20 180 Hats 80 90 a.

Reaction Paper 1) Think hard and observe carefully. Find a “creative element” that interests and inspires you in your life. Such creative element can be a public relations case study or campaign that you find online/ participated in / dream to design.

It can also be a person, an object, an art piece, a piece of music, or an idea. 2) In your paper, introduce and describe this creative element you find.

Read More »Relevant Information for Decision Making
Relevant Information for Decision Making Behemoth Motors Corp. (BMC) is a major manufacturer of automobiles in the United States. BMC has decided to include a Global Positioning System navigator (GPSN) in all of its Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV) beginning with the 2016 model year. These models are just now being delivered and the GPSN units are manufactured in the Detroit BMC facility. Currently and for the foreseeable future, BMC will need 8,000 GPSNs per month. The total manufacturing cost of the GSPN is $425 per unit calculated as follows: See attachment for chart: BMC experiences a high level of quality control over these units with only 2% of total production failing quality control testing. 98% of all units manufactured are installed in SUVs. Wally Wizard, the GPSN manager, has been approached by Far East Enterprises, Ltd (FEE) who has offered to outsource these units for MBC. FEE is a threeyearold electronic manufacturing company located in China and has experienced outstanding growth during that threeyear period. FEE has offered to manufacture and deliver to Detroit 8,000 GPSN units at a unit cost of $400 beginning on Jan. 1, 2016. FEE asks for a twoyear contract. Under the existing arrangement, the direct materials are all purchased locally under monthtomonth contracts. There are no future obligations under these contracts. There are 100 direct labor employees involved in this process. These employees can be laid off but if they are, BMC must pay a penalty of $66,000 per year to the employees union. This penalty will continue for 4 years. There are 10 supervisors, each earning $6,000 per month, assigned to the project. If the product is outsourced, all of these supervisors can be assigned to other supervisory positions within BMC. If the product is outsourced, half of the factory floor space can be used for storage for materials that are currently stored in rented storage facilities. These rented facilities currently cost BMC $5,000 per month. There is no alternative use for the remaining factory floor space. The current $2.50 per sq. ft. charge is based on the overall BMC factory costs. General company overhead is first assigned to operating units on the basis of total product produced and then further to produced units on a per unit basis. If the product is outsourced, this overhead will be reassigned to other operating divisions although total corporate overhead incurred will remain unchanged. You have determined the following additional facts. The units manufactured by FEE will have the same quality as those manufactured by BMC and the delivery schedule will have the same reliability as that of BMC.
