There is nothing immoral about abortion when it contributes to a woman’s well-being.
For each argument all you need is an argument diagram and for each sub-argument a discussion of loopholes.
Argument 2 instructions (1 ½ page)
The SECOND argument to critically assess is in the text. It is exercise #9 on page 107 at the end of Chapter Five. It is a complex argument.
Warning: Do not attempt to do this assessment until you have read ch 5 and watched the video on complex arguments.
Make sure you diagram the argument (using the technique for making diagrams of arguments introduced in Chapter Five), and describe a loophole for each subargument (if they are none, classify the subargument as valid).
Argument 3 instructions (1 ½ page)
The THIRD argument to critically assess is in the text. It is Exercise #10, page 107, at the end of Chapter Five.
Here it is with numbered sentences (the numbers follow the sentence or sentence part) and with premise and conclusion indicator words in red:
There is nothing immoral about abortion when it contributes to a woman’s well-being. [1] Since consciousness is a function of brain structure
[2], and since the brain structure of a fetus is akin to that of a non-human animal
[3], it follows that a fetus’ consciousness is similar to that of a non-human animal
[4]. And since the value of an organism’s life depends upon the nature of its consciousness
[5], the value of a fetus’ life is therefore similar to the value of the life of a non-human animal
[6]. Now the well-being of a fully conscious woman is surely more valuable than the life of a non-human animal
[7], as is amply demonstrated by the fact that we do not hesitate to kill non-human animals if doing so contributes to our well-being.

Evaluate and Make the Decision by comparing the alternatives based on the objectives
The purpose of Week 7’s Brainstorming Discussion is to Evaluate and Make the Decision by comparing the alternatives based on the objectives.
This process is achieved in Step Four by creating two decision matrices –
unweighted and weighted.
Step Five involves Assessing the Decision Process, which is where Harry will state the
final decision and how it fulfills HH’s objectives by examining the MDQ process in how that final decision was derived.
Explain the purpose in using decision matrices in Step Four of the MDQ.
Use a scale of 0 – 3 to rate the first decision matrix. (0 being does not meet the objective well to 3 being meets the objective well).
The decision matrices must have the four objectives and four alternatives from the previous week’s discussions.
Additionally, post the first decision matrix in the text box (unweighted). Do NOT use attachments. Explain WHY and HOW Harry derived the ranking of the objectives and alternatives (each of the individual numbers) in the first matrix.
More so, review the Example using MDQ: Which House Do We Purchase?
Use weights that total to 100% for the second decision matrix.Post the second decision matrix in the text box (weighted).
In addition, explain WHY and HOW Harry derived each of the weights for the objectives.
Based on the results of the Decision Matrices, evaluate and analyze all of HH’s alternatives and objectives.
Likewise, state the final decision by explaining and justifying it with the numbers in the matrix.
The final decision is based on the matrices!
Lastly, discuss Step Five: The Final Decision. Explain HOW the final decision (chosen alternative) fulfilled Hannah’s Hat’s objectives.

Perform research and submit a formal report that the CFO will present
Formal Report Assignment
Task
The CFO of World Manufacturing Supply (WMS) has tasked you, the plant supervisor (you asked for your old job back, since you didn’t like dealing with customers),
to perform research and submit a formal report that the CFO will
present to the CEO proposing alternatives to the current restroom supply and maintenance setup.
Ideally, your proposal will reduce costs, improve the appearance of restrooms, and improve efficiency.
You also have the opportunity to make the restrooms “greener.” Make sure you present all costs and cost benefits clearly and concisely.
Background
WMS, a local medical supply business with attached warehouse (20,000 sq. feet), employs approximately 50 employees.
The plant features six conventional restrooms last renovated in 1980, all stocked with standard trifold paper towels, toilet paper, standard commodes, and traditional sinks,
with hot and cold running water and standard electrical fixtures and fluorescent lighting, with plumbing and wiring to code.
Visitors and clients use two of the restrooms in the front office, one designated for women and one for men.
Each of the women’s restrooms is equipped with three commodes and three sinks, while the men’s restrooms feature two commodes, two urinals, and
three sinks.
Management is open to reviewing restroom gender designations as well.
Recently a client complained to U. R. Cili, Vice President of Marketing, that the
restrooms were cluttered with paper towels and suggested that janitorial staff should clean the restrooms more frequently.
However, Ms. I. M. Cheep, CFO, has indicated that plant costs must be reduce due to rising energy, water, and paper costs, and has also state that WMS cannot afford to increase janitorial staff at this time.

How a system could improve accuracy
Also, how sales of individual items would be entered
How the database would store the data compared to the current spreadsheet method

MORE DETAILS:
What Is Inventory Management?
Inventory management is a step in the supply chain where inventory and stock quantities are tracked in and out of your warehouse.
The goal of inventory management systems is to know where your inventory is at any given time and how much of it you have in order to manage inventory levels correctly.
Some companies may opt to scan in inventory via a barcode scanner to increase efficiency along pick routes and accuracy.
Unlike an ERP system, an inventory management system focuses on one supply chain process.
They often come with the ability to integrate with other software systems
– point of sale, channel management, shipping – so you can build a personalized integration stack to the needs of your unique business.

More Details:
Additionally, leadership constantly presents challenges to a leader and their abilities.
These challenges are an incitation to rise to another level, to test yourself and improve in the process, and to show that you can accomplish something that may seem difficult or even impossible.
More so, this section describes the kinds of challenges a leader faces, and suggests some ways in which leaders can weather and benefit from them.
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE CHALLENGES OF LEADERSHIP?
Being a leader is in itself a challenge.
Also, the challenges of leadership are really of three kinds: external, coming from people and situations; internal, stemming from within the leader himself; and those arising from the nature of the leadership role.
EXTERNAL CHALLENGES
It’s almost impossible to imagine a situation where a leader doesn’t have to cope with external challenges.
Additionally, in an organization, such issues as lack of funding and other resources, opposition from forces in the community, and interpersonal problems within the organization often rear their heads.
Lastly, social, economic, and political forces in the larger world can affect the organization as well.

More Details:
Additionally, while recruitment efforts toward men of color have increased at many colleges and universities, their retention and graduation rates still lag behind those of their white peers.
More so, men of color, particularly black and Latino men, face a number of unique challenges in their educational careers that often impact their presence on campus and inhibit their collegiate success.
Empowering Men of Color on Campus examines how men of color negotiate college through their engagement in Brothers for United Success (B4US), an institutionally-based male-centered program at a Hispanic Serving Institution.
In addition, Derrick R. Brooms, Jelisa Clark, and Matthew Smith introduce the concept of
educational agency, which is harbored in cultural wealth and demonstrates how ongoing B4US engagement empowers the men’s efforts and abilities to persist in college.
Lastly, they found that the cultural wealth(s) of the community enhanced the students’ educational agency, which bolstered their academic aspirations, academic and social engagement, and personal development.
