Same Business Course where you completed the Homework 11….need as close to a 100% as possible please.
I need 14 short articles (one or 1 1/2 pages at most) reviewed answering 8 simple questions.
Definition of Critical Thinking
The first reading contained the following definition of critical thinking:
According to the article, Critical Thinking as Defined by the National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking, (http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/defining-critical-thinking/766), “Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication, as a guide to belief and action. (Critical Thinking.org)
This definition uses words with which you may be unfamiliar. For our assignment this week, you will need to write an extended definition of each of the following words and demonstrate how these words apply to the critical thinking process and to your own experiences:
Conceptualizing
Analyzing
Synthesizing
Your assignment this week will be a five-paragraph essay, each paragraph should address the following:
Paragraph One
Begin by writing your own definition of critical thinking. Consider the following questions to guide your definition:
What does it mean to think critically?
What is the difference between thinking and thinking critically?
What do we gain or lose by thinking critically?
Paragraphs Two, Three, and Four
Once you have your definition of critical thinking, look up the definition for each of the three words listed above, and, in a paragraph for each word, use those definitions to describe how each of them apply to your definition of critical thinking. Be sure to identify the source or sources where you found your definitions. If you use any direct words from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.
Paragraph Five
In your concluding paragraph, give an example or examples of a time or times when you applied critical thinking in your own life.
Your completed assignment should be written primarily in first person and should be 500-750 words in length. If you use sources in your writing, be sure to identify them. If you use any direct language from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.
What is the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) and why does it diminish as the consumer substitutes one product for another? Use examples to illustrate.
Guided Response:
In 300 words or more, please, provide your response to the above discussion question. Find two goods from your own consumption basket and explain how the MRS changes for the two products as you substitute one for the other. Respond substantively to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Substantive responses use theory, research, and experience or examples to support ideas and further the class knowledge on the discussion topic.
Write ONE of the following: (Either the Case Analysis or the Public Values Analysis)
Case Analysis (10 pages).
The primary task of case analyses is to improve your skill at ethical analysis and reasoning. Analyze a problem that resulted from a situation arising in the public, not-for-profit or health sectors that you have either personally faced or witnessed. An actual experience you have had, first hand, or at least heard about is preferable. If you are unable to come up with either first hand or second hand experience, you may draw from a secondary source, such as a movie, a play, a book or a case study. An example might be John F. Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage, C.P. Snow’s Corridors of Power, or many others. Be sure to change names, places, etc., if you use an actual experience. Please let me know what you are planning to do for your case analysis. Setting up an appointment to discuss it with me is preferable.
A. The following format should be used for the Case Analysis:
1. Problem/Situation Statement.
2. Key Players – titles, roles, etc.
3. Issues related to the ethical dilemma — separate paragraph for each.
4. Principles of Ethics Applied to the problem/situation
5. Normative Theory that describes the problem/situation
6. Conclusion.
Public Values Analysis (10 pages) [Due: June 11]
The general idea behind this assignment is to gain insight into how value-laden, and therefore, how ethically-loaded, our public policies are. Not only are the public policies themselves value-laden, but our means of analyzing them, and of making choices about policy options are likewise value-laden. Policy analysis is often presented as an “objective” or even a “scientific” activity; it is often thought to be and described as “value-neutral.” This assignment asks you to turn those assumptions into questions, and to think carefully about them. Specifically, the assignment calls for you to:
1. Choose a public policy about which you have some general knowledge and/or access to enough information to analyze the values involved. A good choice of policy is one that you are both interested in and have done some prior study on. For example, a public policy that you have written a paper on for another class is fair game.
2. Choose a public policy, not an organizational policy. For example, a prohibition against smoking in a building is an organizational policy, but a law or regulation that prohibits smoking in all public buildings is a public policy because it effects the citizenry in general. If you have any doubts about your chosen policy, ask for clarification!
3. Please answer or address the following points:
a. What is the “problem” that the policy is intended to resolve or address?
b. Statement of the current public policy (sometimes there isn’t one, or there may be several partial policies; it is up to you to construct a coherent statement even if the policy areas is confused or inconsistent).
c. The public values at issue in this policy area: Are there “sides” — two or more — to this issue? What values are represented on these “sides”? Are these competing values — partially or completely incommensurable? Mention all directly relevant values, but focus on those most central, and tell why those values are most central.
d. What are two or three alternative policies that could have addressed the same problem? What values are reflected in the alternatives? How are they different/similar to the values reflected in the current public policy?
e. Discuss the degree to which your own analysis has been value-laden.
1. A label on an iced tea drink mix says to use 2 tbsp of iced tea mix to make one serving (8 oz) of iced tea.
a. What is the ratio of drink mix to iced tea? (Hint: 1 oz = 2 tbsp)
b. Suppose you want to make a quart (32 oz) of iced tea. How many ounces of drink mix should be used?
c. How many tablespoons of iced tea mix should be used to make a quart (32 oz) of iced tea?
2. ΔRST has coordinates ​R​(Â-4, -3), ​S​(0, 5), and ​T​(7, -3).
a. Graph ΔRST in a coordinate plane.
b. Find the perimeter of ΔRST.
c. Find the area of ΔRST.
d. The centroid of a triangle is the intersection of its medians. Use the following steps to find the centroid of ΔRST using segment partition.
i. Find the midpoint of line segment TR. Label it N.
ii. Find the point, C, that partitions line segment SN such that SC:CN has the ratio of 2:1.
iii. Plot point C in your graph ΔRST.
e. Find and graph the midpoints of line segment TR, RS, and ST. Draw a segment connecting the vertex opposite each midpoint to the midpoint.
i. How does the intersection of the segments compare to point ​C​ from question 4?
3. Brian is renting an apartment. The floor plan of the apartment is shown below.
a. What is the total area of the apartment?
b. What are the dimensions of the master bedroom?
c. Brian wants to buy a dining room table from the local furniture store. He sees a table that is 9 ft. long and 3 ft. wide. Would it be reasonable to buy this table to put in the dining room? Why or why not?

The key point in posing these questions is to help set the scene for Patton’s next steps. The questions listed below are for you to ponder, as you are reading the case. It is not necessary for you to submit answers to the questions. They are strictly for you to see the relevance and the logic to these questions, as you read the case. Here are some questions to ponder,as you reflect upon the case…
Discussion Question:
Answer the five(5) discussion questions listed below (can also be found at the end of case study in book)
