The paper focuses on the research question “has there been a proven improvement in PROMS after body contouring surgery and what sub groups have been looked at?”. A concept table has been provided on the relevant 1. PROM’s 2. body contouring procedures. Potential papers from a systematic review have been provided for the literature review. The structure of the essay will need to look at each individual body contouring procedure as per the concept table and report on the change in PROMS that has been cited. Some of the papers may contain procedures that are not cited in the concept table and don’t need to be reported on in the review but also contain relevant subgroups that will need to be reported on.

Here are four individuals telling you their stories of how they became unemployed. In a multi-paragraph essay, apply the theories of unemployment to explain the type of unemployment that each of these individuals is facing and explain which of these individuals qualifies for unemployment benefits:

Two months ago, Marcelle used to work full time in an automobile manufacturing firm. “The factory where I used to work has closed because our market contracted so much, and so I was laid off. This is happening to people all over the country-all you see in the papers is that economic growth has fallen and incomes across the country have fallen. I have been looking very hard for a new job, but have had no luck yet.”

Until last week, Dominic used to work full time as a hair-dresser in downtown Cincinnati. “I decided to quit my job, because I want to move to New York City.”

Until last month, Francine worked part time at a ski resort. “Well, it is summer now, and so the resort is closed. I will apply again in the winter when the snow is back. I am not interested in working until then.”

Two months ago, Beauvoir had been working full time as a secretary. “I was a good typist, but I don’t know how to use a computer. My boss wanted to upgrade the office to computers, and so I was replaced by someone who is computer-savvy. I have been looking for another job, but it appears that I need to learn some computer skills.”

You still work at the property consulting firm XProp Pty Ltd. The firm acts for clients on a range of property related matters. Your boss (Jane) has just completed a second interview with client Sandra Frankston. As you will recall, you have already completed a report for Sandra.

Respond to class discussion and also introduce yourself however you wish to do so in the context of this class- talk about how you see intersectionality in your own life

Identify whether the property tax is popular or unpopular with taxpayers. Discuss reasons for its
survival. Come up with what you believe to be an alternative to the property tax and compare and contrast its viability to the property tax.

For this journal assignment, briefly answer each of the following prompts:

Inference: The differing meanings of “valid inference” and “warranted inference” are closely related to the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments – the purpose of deductive being to prove; the purpose of inductive to make the conclusion most probable.

Look up the words “valid” and “warranted.” Each of these words, you will find, has what is known as a lexical definition – that is just the dictionary definition of the word. Words also have a certain connotations – meanings that go beyond their lexical definitions; associated ideas and concepts – think of terms such a “fur baby” as the name for a pet.

Briefly discuss how the lexical definitions and connotations of “valid” and “warranted” can help us understand the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments.

Fallacies: In Section 8.2, the text states that there are “fallacious argument templates” (Facione & Gittens, p. 167) and then gives a number of examples. The authors further state: “Analysis of the meanings of the terms used and the grammatical rules of the language reveal the source of error” (p.167).

Choose one of the fallacies in this section, such as Denying the Antecedent or False Classification and pair it with the valid argument template. For example, if you choose Denying the Antecedent, the valid argument template will be Denying the Consequent. False Classification would pair with one of the fallacies in Reasoning About Classes of Objects.

Explain, in your own words, how the fallacy is revealed through analysis of the valid argument template. Think of it this way – if you know how the heart works, you will know that certain malfunctions will prevent it from working. For example, if you know that the coronary arteries supply the heart with blood, then you can reason that a blockage will stop that vital flow. So this journal prompt asks you to explain, in your own words, how one of the valid argument templates work – and how that exposes the fallacy connected with that type of argument.

Civic Responsibility: At the end of Chapter 9 there is a Bonus Exercise that asks you to research and analyze the 2009 debate over the healthcare public option. If you were actually to complete that exercise, it would take quite a bit of time and effort.

Do you think that completing such an exercise would be time well spent or time wasted? If well-spent, why? If time wasted, why?

Is there any issue on which you think a comparable amount of time and effort would be worthwhile?

As a critical thinker, do you believe that citizens have an obligation to be informed on topics of current interest? If yes, why, if no, why not?

Define an excise tax and give three examples of excise taxes that you pay. Discuss the pros and cons to municipalities electing to generate tax revenue via excise taxes and whether you would continue the practice of taxation via excise taxes if you were a decision/policy maker.

Identify the three changes in demographic factors that impact local budgets. Discuss the ways that each of these factors impact local budgets.
