RESEARCH ESSAY:

You will write a research essay of about six pages (1,500 words) using the work you completed for your library research assignment and completing more research as necessary.

I’ve included our topic list below. Keep in mind that each topic includes a primary source or set of primary sources. In addition to the primary sources, you will need to use the five additional scholarly sources that you found as part of your library research assignment.

You must provide a properly formatted bibliography at the end of your paper that lists all the sources that were consulted or cited to complete your essay.

A good research essay should have the following ingredients:

An argument:

An excellent research paper is more than just a collection of details and facts. You’re constructing a clear argument that answers a research question. You might be agreeing with the question, disagreeing, or even arguing that answering yes or no is too simplistic, but in all cases, you are constructing an argument supported by evidence and information that is supplied through your sources.

Clear introduction/thesis statement:

A clear and concise thesis statement is your summary of your essay’s argument. You should put it in your introduction where it will set the tone and expectations for the rest of your essay. When I’m done reading your introduction I should know exactly what your essay is going to prove; the rest of the essay will show me how and why I should believe you.

Essay body:

You should build your argument step by step. Use your paragraphs to frame each point of your argument. There should be a logical and clear flow to your essay. There is no set number of paragraphs that you should be using but generally short concise paragraphs are better than paragraphs that stretch on for a page or more.

Conclusion:

You can use your conclusion to summarize what your essay has proven and why you think it’s important. But remember, don’t wait until the end to tell me what you’re going to prove; state that right at the beginning in the introduction.

Citation:

Proper citation gives credit to your sources and demonstrates that you have engaged with them. You should have AT LEAST two to three footnotes at the bottom of each page. If there are not footnotes you are either not citing your sources properly, or you haven’t engaged with them enough.

Remember to cite material that you are quoting directly AND material that you are paraphrasing in your own words. Note: Essays without citation will be returned unmarked and I will ask you to add in the proper citation.

Breadth and Depth of Sources:

You will be marked on demonstrated engagement with your sources; I need to see that you’ve read this material and are fully engaging with it.

Citation and Style Guidelines:

  • The research essay should be 1,500 words (six pages) in length.
  • Use 12-point font, double-spacing, with one-inch margins.
  • You must use Chicago reference style in this assignment as outlined in the Chicago Manual of Style(http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html ).
  • In the olden days students were told never to use “I” in a research essay; the rules have loosened and you may. But use the first person judiciously. Save it for when you really are expressing your opinion.
  • In addition to footnotes, your paper should include a title page and bibliography.  The title page should include only the following elements. 1) the title of your paper, 2) your name, 3) the course number and section, 4) the date of submission. The title should be centered and placed about one third of the way down from the top of the page. The other information should be listed in the bottom right-hand corner of the page.
  • A bibliography is a list of all the sources you used in preparing your essay.  It is placed at the end of your paper. The sources should be listed in alphabetical order according to the authors’ surname.
  • You should number your pages, beginning with the first page of text (i.e., the title page should not be numbered).

Grading: Your essay will be graded based on the following criteria:

A clear thesis statement in your introduction

Well-structured essay that conveys your argument

Breadth and depth of sources

Clarity of writing throughout

Proper citation and style

Research Essay Topics:

Note, some of these topics include two primary documents that are linked together. In those case, you can draw from both sources, but you will still need to find an additional five sources for your essay. In other words, the primary documents will only count as one source.

Ethics Lesson s of NewWest Telecommunications In 20 21 NewWest Telecommunications decided it was not doing enough cross -selling . Cross -selling means getting customers who use one service, such as mobile service , to use other services, such as home internet or cable TV . There is nothing wrong with cross -selling – all telecommunication co mpanies do it. NewWest developed a specific strategy to encourage cross -selling, which was to involve its employees in telling customers about other products and services. In order to encourage employees to support the program, NewWest employed the traditi onal strategy of providing incentives to employees who succeeded at cross -selling. This is where everything went wrong. Employees not only responded to these incentives by cross -selling, they actually created fake accounts in the names of existing NewWest Telecommunications ’ customers. Some customers figured this out, but many didn’t and ended up paying fees on accounts they didn’t even know they had. The problem was huge. In attempting to correct the problem the company fired 12 00 employees and lost its highly respected CE O. NewWest made a number of mistakes including not publicly acknowledging the problem soon enough and not having adequate controls to detect the fake accounts. But what is unique about this problem is that so many employees (Hundreds ) were involved in the wrongdoing . Unlike many corporate crises, this was not one or two corrupt employees in an otherwise healthy organization. This was plain wrongdoing on a massive scale. Discussion Questions 1. Using the ADKAR change management model, explain why the new cross selling process failed? 2. Using Kotter’s 8 -step change management model, explain what the new CEO should do to fix this critical situation?

  • Read about how computers and software are changing everything vis a vis how computer science is taught or not taught in schools (‘What’s wrong with this picture?’, 2015).  Examine the extent to which computer science is changing our world yet schools seem to lag behind in computer education. Suggest how STEM education can change ‘this picture’. Include strategies you would use to convince parents, administrators, and peer teachers of this. make your presentation real by including real class experience.

This is necessitated by recent developments in technology have changed the learner’s profile and the learning outcomes.

  • Due to the fast developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), many young people are constantly connected to digital devices and the Internet. This has changed the way they receive and process information, and the education system is slowly starting to adjust and explore the opportunities that ICT can bring for students’ learning and development (European Schoolnet, 2016).

  • One of the most intriguing objectives when teaching computer science to students in secondary school is attracting and mainly maintaining their concentration within the limits of the class. In this paper, an empirical study is performed with the support of the “Hour of Code” initiative. The initiative was presented to a number of students as a motivation for teaching computer programming to them. An evaluation of the students’ programming skills is attempted with the aid of a questionnaire and a simple personalization framework is presented in order to adapt to the students’ personal needs.

  • Computers and software are changing everything yet the majority of schools do not teach computer science (‘What’s wrong with this picture?’, 2015). It seems that our education system today is not set up for everyone to participate in the emerging economy and opportunities. Computer science is not widely taught in our schools. The irony is that parents want their children to learn computer science. Our education system clearly needs to evolve to bring computer science to students that want to learn this subject.

York Liberty University This study source was downloaded by 100000793288509 from CourseHero.com on 02-09-2022 00:53:58 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/16330178/DB-Forum-3-Case-Study/Sarah Russell, Staff Accountant 2 Summary Sarah Russell, a small town native of western Kansas, settled on accounting as her major after a successful freshman year at the University of Kansas. After completing some tough accounting courses, she managed to finish her career with two minor flaws on her transcript. Because of her outstanding academic performance Sarah was able to accept a position with a Big Eight accounting firm as a staff accountant in Chicago. Sarah’s first year in public accounting was very productive, she was assigned to six audit engagements and passed all four sections of the CPA exam on her first attempt. It helped that Sarah had the moral support of several individuals during her first year of work. One individual, in particular, was audit partner, R.J. Bell. During Sarah’s second year in public accounting, Bell began attempting to establish a personal relationship with her, making her rather uncomfortable. Although she discouraged his advances, Bell was persistent. He went out of his way to make her feel included by giving her complimentary tickets to cultural and sporting events, called her when he was working late just “to chat”, and even arranged for her to obtain a loan from a local bank when her car died. Eventually, Sarah confronted Bell about his actions and informed him that she wanted to keep their relationship strictly on a professional level. This upset Bell because he felt Sarah had misinterpreted his actions. Because of the confrontation and confusion between the two, Bell told Sarah she would not be assigned to any audit engagements under his supervision in the upcoming year. While Bell did not make any more advances at Sarah, a few months later Sara decided to return to her home state where she became a chief financial officer (CFO) for a charitable organization.

In your opinion, how should Sarah have handled this matter? Identify the factors that Sarah should have considered in dealing with the situation. Also, identify the professional and personal responsibilities of Sarah, R.J. Bell, and other relevant individuals in this matter. In my opinion, Sarah handled this situation very well given the circumstances. However, she would have benefited if she were to have discussed her problem with her family or some of her close friends. When it comes to situations such as the one Sarah was put into, it is crucial to seek out someone whose judgment you trust and who you can rely on in regards to keeping the information you shared confidential. Because Sarah did not feel comfortable approaching her friends nor her family she could have reached out to an objective third party. By seeking out individuals unaware of the situation not only are they capable of providing an objective assessment to the situation but they are also capable of providing much needed advice and emotional support. Overall, Sarah did a good job dealing with R.J. Bell and all the passes he made towards her. When it comes to harassment in the workplace, there are numerous ways to go about responding to it. One of the first things Sarah should have done in dealing with this situation was understand her options. Sarah must understand what she is going through whether that means collecting information about the possible actions she can take or keep detailed notes on the harassment incidents she is involved in. After Sarah understands her options, the next step she needs to take is to choose the best way to approach the situation at hand. There are two kinds of approaches Sarah can take, these include an informal approach and a formal approach. By taking an informal approach, Sarah would have taken a personal action by being clear and straightforward with the alleged harasser (R.J. Bell) stating their behavior is unacceptable. By This study source was downloaded by 100000793288509 from CourseHero.com on 02-09-2022 00:53:58 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/16330178/DB-Forum-3-Case-Study/Sarah Russell, Staff Accountant 4 taking a formal approach, Sarah would have used the mechanism of investigation which could lead to disciplinary measures if misconduct is established. The last and final stage when it comes to responding to harassment involves a follow-up by ensuring that all inappropriate behavior stops and does not happen again which is crucial. If harassment is not resolved it can often time create tension within an office or a team, depending on who all is involved. When it comes to the personal and professional responsibilities of Sarah, R.J. Bell and other relevant individuals involved in this matter, it is easier to identify the responsibilities of R.J. Bell than of any other involved party. As a member of the company for eight years, Bell had an obligation to treat Sarah with due dignity, respect, and courtesy. As a professional, Bell should have recognized that his infatuation with Sarah was not only inappropriate but his efforts to establish a personal relationship with her to a certain extent was completely out of line. After Sarah discussed the matter with Bell he had a responsibility to make amends by taking all the appropriate measures to ensure that Sarah’s personal and professional life went back to being normal. While this case does not indicate that there were other individuals involved in this case, it is safe to assume that specific members of the accounting firm were aware of the efforts of R.J. Bell to establish a personal relationship with Sarah. If that was, in fact, true, those who knew about the relationship between R.J and Sarah should have stepped in and stopped things before they got too far off the beaten path. 2. What were the costs and potential costs to Sarah’s employer in this case? How should accounting firms attempt to prevent these types of situations from occurring? Assume that rather than speaking to Bell, Sarah had told the office managing partner about the problem she faced. How should the office managing partner have dealt with the matter? This study source was downloaded by 100000793288509 from CourseHero.com on 02-09-2022 00:53:58 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/16330178/DB-Forum-3-Case-Study/Sarah Russell, Staff Accountant 5 The costs and potential costs to Sarah’s employer, in this case, include the loss of professional services provided by Sarah, litigation losses as a result of the given situation, and a loss of prestige and credibility if the matter is publicly disclosed. When it comes to harassment in the workplace, one thing to remember is that it does not only affect the parties involved in the harassment claim, the company as a whole can also be affected by the situation. With that being said harassment claims can be handled numerous ways. Companies who handle claims via internal investigation are able to contain the costs, but once a lawsuit is brought forward things can get expensive rather quickly. For example, the costs of an organization are high when there is a loss in productivity, turnover, distraction of witnesses and emotional and physical health costs when targets are measured. These costs increase exponentially when a lawsuit is added, as mentioned before. Unfortunately, harassment is going to continue to be an issue in the workplace. The best thing companies can do is to address the issue as soon as it happens in order to try and eliminate the issue to avoid any kind of liability. Accounting firms must come up with ways to try to prevent these types of situations from occurring in their workplace. One way firms can prevent harassment is via training. Training has become a common element of prevention programs, especially when it comes to employees in positions of authority. So much so that several states have mandated their employees to undergo harassment training at least once every two years. While trainings, whether online or in- person cost money, they are still a bargain compared to legal fees and settlements in the case of a harassment claim. Other ways companies can try and prevent harassment from occurring is by enforcing a strict and rigorous policy stating the behavior discussed in this case is not tolerated in this company or companies can ensure their employees fully understand their rights when it comes to situations similar to the one Sarah was put in and encourage them to exercise their This study source was downloaded by 100000793288509 from CourseHero.com on 02-09-2022 00:53:58 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/16330178/DB-Forum-3-Case-Study/Sarah Russell, Staff Accountant 6 rights. One way of doing this is by establishing and providing an anonymous hotline for employees who are facing similar situations within their workplace. The office manager when it comes to dealing with this situation had a responsibility of due professional care, meaning he/she should have done everything in their power to help protect the rights of both R.J. and Sarah. One thing you must remember in situations similar to this one is that individuals being charged with illicit behavior similar to R.J. Bell are innocent until proven guilty. With that being said, office managers who lack personal objectivity and or expertise with these types of situations can end up dealing with the problem in a non-effective manner. As a result, office managers who lack personal objectivity and expertise should refer the matter to the appropriate individual within their firm. An example of this would be referring the matter to the firm’s director of human resources. 3. This case took place several years ago. Do you believe that events similar to those that took place in this case could occur now? Explain. Although this case took place several years ago, that does not mean events similar to these cannot take place today. As mentioned before, harassment in the workplace continues to be a pervasive and costly problem. With today’s use of technology such as text messages and emails, it is easier for employees to commit said crime without even realizing they are doing it in the first place. Another reason harassment is still an issue today is because individuals spend more time in the workplace than they did in the old days. Longer work days lead to more casual dress codes which can lead to a blurring of lines between what happens at work and what happens in your social life. Most importantly many individuals in the workplace do not intend for the things that they do or say to be considered harassment but to some it can be perceived that way. Many people don’t get it, they don’t think harassment applies to them, they think what they This study source was downloaded by 100000793288509 from CourseHero.com on 02-09-2022 00:53:58 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/16330178/DB-Forum-3-Case-Study/Sarah Russell, Staff Accountant 7 are doing is friendly and consensual such as R.J.
