Presenting arguments | Phi 103 Information Logic

Topic: Parenting
Question: What is the appropriate age to talk about sex to your children? 
In this class, we learn to evaluate issues in light of the reasoning on all sides prior to arriving at conclusions. We aim to evaluate the quality and quantity of evidence, striving to be as objective as we can about what is most likely to be true.
Once you have formulated your question, conduct research from non-scholarly sources on the internet (e.g., news articles, op-eds, etc.) that present substantive reasoning on each side of the issue.
Your task is to present and evaluate the reasoning from a non-scholarly source on each side of your issue. There is no need to take sides on the issue at this stage. In your analysis, strive to be as objective as possible, evaluating the reasoning from a neutral point of view. For an example of how to complete this paper, take a look at the Week One Example paper.
Your paper should include clearly labeled sections addressing the following elements:

Introduction (approximately 100 words)

Explain your topic.
State the specific question that you are addressing.

Presentation of an Argument

Describe the non-scholarly source (e.g., an op-ed, newspaper article, website, etc.) on one side of the issue and summarize the key points made (approximately 50 words).
Present what you see as the main argument from that source. Make sure to present your argument in standard form, with the premises listed above the conclusion. (approximately 100 words)
Evaluate the quality of the reasoning in this source (approximately 200 words)

In completing your evaluation, consider assessing how well the research supports the premises of the main argument and how strongly the reasoning supports the conclusion of that argument.

Presentation of an Argument on the Other Side of the Issue

Describe the non-scholarly source on the opposite side of the issue and summarize the key points made. (approximately 50 words)
Present what you see as the main argument from that source. Make sure to present your argument in standard form, with the premises listed above the conclusion. (approximately 100 words)
Evaluate the quality of the reasoning in this source (approximately 200 words)

In completing your evaluation, consider assessing how well the research supports the premises of the main argument and how strongly the reasoning supports the conclusion.

Only one question to answer not essay !!!

 
Handling Sales Resistance
Brenda recently returned from a two week training session that focused on how to handle sales resistance and how to earn commitment. Brenda has become quite familiar with the ADAPT questioning system and knows she must use assessment questions to allow the buyer to describe their present situation. She has also developed a pretty good set of discovery questions that helps her identify the buyer’s pain and problems. Her challenge has been what to do with this information. Whenever Brenda attempts to use features and benefits to make her case, she encounters a myriad of objections. Brenda knows she has great products and service, but she has not been able to communicate this effectively to her prospects.
The objection she hears most often is: “I’ve never heard of your company, how long have you been in business?” If that is not bad enough, she heard the following objections in just one morning:
“I’m not sure I am ready to buy at this time, I’ll need to think it over.”
“Your company is pretty new; how do I know you’ll be around to take care of me in the future?”
“Your price is a little higher than I thought it would be.”
“Your company was recently in the news. Are you having problems?”
and finally,
“I think your company is too small to meet our needs.”
Brenda hears most of these objections right after she attempts to earn a commitment. She is now getting a little gun shy about asking her prospects for the order.
Brenda is sitting at her desk trying to figure out what to do next and she is not exactly sure how to proceed.
The QUESTION that I need you to answer it is :

Brenda appears to have an advantage with her products and services. Develop a plan for Brenda to overcome the sales resistance she is receiving.

Critical Thinking: Corporate Strategy and Diversification (105 points)
Corporate diversification strategies raise a wide range of strategic management issues.
For this week’s critical thinking assignment, read the case study found in your textbook
(Case 19): Google Is Now Alphabet—But What’s the Corporate Strategy?
Remember, a case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the
specific case and study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these
five steps:
1. Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the
principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case
study.
2. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the
course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course
area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important
aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
3. Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
4. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life
examples or cases from textbooks.
5. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already
have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the
details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.
Case Study Questions:
1. What is Google’s corporate strategy? Does Google have a clear vision of what it wants to
become?
2. Use Porter’s Essentials Test (Chapter 12) to determine if this strategy creates competitive
advantage. If so, how? If not, why not?
3. Look beyond the conventional sources of synergy and consider complementarities, bargaining
power, and rivals. What threats does Google face?
4. Does Google need to refocus? How should Google delineate its corporate boundaries and which
businesses, or products would you recommend abandoning or divesting, if any?

Using g*power software (calculating power) biostats

  
USING G*POWER SOFTWARE (Calculating Power) BIOSTATS
DUE 3/10/19  10 P.M EST
BE ON TIME AND ORIGINAL WORK
Have SPSS SOFTWARE AND G POWER
DONT ASK IF YOU DON’T HAVE IT
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DATA ATTACHED AND HELPFUL STEP BY STEP GUIDE!!
G POWER ATTACHED AS WELL
In research, calculating power is essential. The larger a sample size, the more powerful a study may be. It can be helpful to calculate the minimum sample size needed for basic statistics—such as the t-test—without the aid of software. Sample size calculation is based on the statistical testing method used. Remember, sample size denotes the number of variables examined in data collection.
You use the software G*Power located to do your calculations. Calculating power based on sample size, rather than calculating sample size based on power, is useful when using secondary data where the sample size is already fixed.
For this Assignment, you practice manually calculating basic sample size. You also practice calculating power with the assistance of G*Power software located in the Learning Resources.
The Assignment
Using the  Dataset (SPSS document) ATTACHED
1. Calculate the minimum sample size you will need (using manual calculations) to conduct a t test to determine if the difference in age in people with and without hypertension is significant. Use the standard deviation for age calculated in week 1. Assume a 2-tailed test with alpha = .05 and Power = 80% and that the difference you expect to observe between the 2 groups is 5 years. 
2. Using two different effect sizes in addition to the one used in part 1, perform three power analyses of the sample size computed in step 1 using G*Power. (Assume a 2-tailed independent sample t test with alpha set at .05) 
3. Perform a power analysis using G*Power using the actual sample size presented in the dataset for week 1 (180) and an effect size of .30. What does this mean in terms of the study and the probability of experiencing a type 2 error?
