The Logic

Any topic relating to the below requirement is fine

Your Final Paper will be exploring, critically analyzing, and conveying a topic of your choosing. It could be a song, a clip/scene from a film, a painting, an advertisement (print, video), a children’s book, a story, a passage from a book, gay conversion therapy, any movement (eg, black lives matter), the millennial generation, a superhero, this class, etc. Whatever you choose, bear in mind that it can’t be so complex that you aren’t able to encapsulate it into 3-5 page analysis and presentation. Basically, don’t choose something so complex (e.g., the Logic of Contemporary Western Evangelicalism Manifested in War Torn Islamic Countries Converting more to Capitalism and Westernism rather than Christianity, thus Displaying The Machinations of the Illuminati), that it would take more than 3-5 pages to fully discuss and present. SRSLY THO. THIS IS NOT A TERM PAPER, OR DEGREE PAPER.

Using and applying what you’ve learned throughout the semester, demonstrate the goal presented in the first chapter of the book: “Critical [thought] [is about] making wise decisions and coming to CORRECT CONCLUSIONS.” (pg. 1, emphasis mine) Your overall goal is to demonstrate that you’ve reached THE CORRECT CONCLUSION about your topic, by providing a COMPLETE analysis which conveys the following:
– Is your topic making a Claim(s) of any kind, and if so, what is it/are they?
– What kind of Reasoning (or Argument) is used/presented by your topic? (Inductive? Deductive?)
– Does your topic rely on the use of any Rhetoric? And if so, how does this affect/alter its Argument about its Claim?
– Is Persuasion (in any part, or in whole) the goal/intention of your topic? If so, for what?
– Is anything left Ambiguous or Vague?
– What is the Credibility to the Claim(s) made by your topic? What is the Credibility of any Source within your topic?
– Are there any Fallacies (whether clear or subtle) contained within your topic? If so, what are they? Do they completely undermine the Claim(s) your topic makes?
– Does your topic assert any Value Judgments? What about and what are they? (Moral? Aesthetic?)
– If your topic DOES make any Value Judgments, What Theory(ies)/Perspectives are they operating out of? Moral? Aesthetic? (If Moral, WHAT Moral/Ethical Theory/Perspective? If Aesthetic, WHAT Aesthetic Theory/Principle?) Why is it important for your topic to make these? What do they add to your topic?

Advantages and disadvantages to a military distributed learning environment

Prepare a descriptive essay answering the question “What are the advantages and disadvantages to a military distributed learning environment?” The descriptive essay is a genre of essay that asks the student to describe something—object, person, place, experience, emotion, situation, etc. This genre encourages the student’s ability to create a written account of a particular experience. What is more, this genre allows for a great deal of artistic freedom (the goal of which is to paint an image that is vivid and moving in the mind of the reader). You will write in a clear and concise manner while using correct grammar, sentences structure, and word usage; without using first person narrative (i.e “I”, “us”, “our”, “me”, etc.). You must provide a coherent transition from one topic to the next using the provided rubric

The assignment is a Microsoft® Powerpoint® presentation based on the textbook Expand Your Critical Thinking Problem 10.11. This Expand Your Critical Thinking Problem is the first Competency Assessment for Module 3.

Then, that effort will be transportable into the professional presentation required in the Professional Competency.

Expand Your Critical Thinking 10-11 (Essay)

During the summer of 2002, the financial press reported that Citigroup was being investigated for allegations that it had arranged transactions for Enron so as to intentionally misrepresent the nature of the transactions and consequently achieve favorable balance sheet treatment. Essentially, the deals were structured to make it appear that money was coming into Enron from trading activities, rather than from loans.

A July 23, 2002, The New York Times article by Richard Oppel and Kurt Eichenwald entitled “Citigroup Said to Mold Deal to Help Enron Skirt Rules” suggested that Citigroup intentionally kept certain parts of a secret oral agreement out of the written record for fear that it would change the accounting treatment. Critics contend that this had the effect of significantly understating Enron’s liabilities, thus misleading investors and creditors. Citigroup maintains that, as a lender, it has no obligation to ensure that its clients account for transactions properly. The proper accounting, Citigroup insists, is the responsibility of the client and its auditor.

Answer the following questions.

Who are the stakeholders in this situation?
Do you think that a lender, in general, in arranging so-called “structured financing” has a responsibility to ensure that its clients account for the financing in an appropriate fashion, or is this the responsibility of the client and its auditor?
What effect did the fact that the written record did not disclose all characteristics of the transaction probably have on the auditor’s ability to evaluate the accounting treatment of this transaction?

The NY Times article noted that in one presentation made to sell this kind of deal to Enron and other companies, Citigroup stated that using such an arrangement “eliminates the need for capital markets disclosure, keeping structure mechanics private.”
Why might a company wish to conceal the terms of a financing arrangement from the capital markets (investors and creditors)?
Is this appropriate?
Do you think it is ethical for a lender to market deals in this way?
