“The Harmful Effects of Religious Influence on Society: A Call for Separation of Church and State”
Argumentative/Synthesis essay. It does not have to be perfect as this is the rough draft and i will work on it from there. So no need to stress over grammar errors as long as all of the argument is there. My research question is why is religion so heavily involved in our society, and why it shouldnt be as it makes others unsafe or uncomfortable.
Must only use “scholarly” resources. Below are resources they required me to pick out, you may pick and choose but three are required.
The deadline was actually May 1st so the sooner the better.
Thank you!!! -
Families in a Global Context: Annotated Bibliography and Topic Description “Exploring the Rationale and Supporting Evidence for a Selected Topic in Family Science: An Annotated Bibliography and Analysis of Peer-Reviewed Sources” “APA Style and Good Scholarship: A Critical Component of Academic Writing”
Overview
This is the first of three course assignments. This week you will select a topic related to families in a global context and prepare a short annotated bibliography. In later assignments you will expand that bibliography into a literature review, and then write a critical analysis of the topic based upon your review of the literature.
Preparation
If you have not yet done so, complete the Week 5 Prepare: Topic Selection and Annotated Bibliography activities. Then review the Advanced Studies in Human Behavior Ph.D. Library GuideLinks to an external site. for guidance on conducting research in the Capella University Library.

“Using Cost Benefit Analysis as a Decision-Making Tool: A Memo to the Head of an Agency for a Rail Project” MEMORANDUM To: Head of Agency From: [Your Name] Date: [Current Date] Subject
Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) are “decision tools” that are used as part of a broader political process. As such, they may be used in concert with other sources of information to guide decision making. You have read materials that support CBA or other cost techniques as decisionmaking tools as well as several critiques of CBA. Positive aspects include:
Using cost as a measure provides a basis of comparison across projects.
If CBAs are designed well, they can incorporate effects on different political actors
CBAs can provide a mechanism for weighing tradeoffs between the present and the future and for helping governments ascertain the impact of policies and programs on their budgets
Critiques of and limitations to CBA
Efficiency as the dominant value driving CBA, versus equity or procedural justice;
The difficulty and ethics in quantifying some costs and benefits;
Missing or poor data;
Political issues: CBA’s being misused, misrepresented, subject to political pressure and influence, or used to drive a particular political perspective.
Review the attachment and drawing on CBA readings including those offering a positive view of CBA and concerning critiques or limitations to CBA, write a 2 page single-spaced memo addressed to the head of an agency or organization who would be drawing on this CBA to make a policy decision to either keep or change current policy or adopt a similar policy in another state. You don’t need to consult any sources not provided or any information about the current status of these policies. Your memo will do the following:
Adopt a role that would correspond to one perspective: that is you will pretend to write on behalf of an organization of people that is affected by the policy: e.g., commuters or economic development officials in a city agency, or another party. Acknowledge your policy perspective in the memo and briefly introduce your organization in the memo so your perspective is clearly framed.
Provide a two- to three-paragraph summary of the findings (you can focus on the sections with numbers and the executive summaries). Talk about PERSPECTIVES as per our readings – which groups are affected and how; whose costs and benefits are taken into account?
Comment on the strong aspects of and limitations of the cost analysis (refer to the Vera reading on how to read a report). What costs or benefits seem appropriate or inappropriate? Why is the analysis helpful/not helpful to policymakers thinking about policy change in this jurisdiction or another one? What is missing?
Think about the politics of cost-benefit analysis (see for example the Friedman and Davis article in the NY Times on changes in EPA regulations and the comments on changes in Executive Orders in my video presentation). How do these politics relate to the report you are reading?
Consider the videos on NYC’s racial impact analysis and equitable development tool. If such an analysis were done related to the rail project, how would that seem different? Which method do you recommend as more useful for the memo reader’s decisionmaking?
Your memo format includes a heading, 1-inch margins, 12-point font, and professional and concise language. You can use footnotes to cite any additional background or evidence for your argument. There is no specific word limit but you should be writing for a busy policymaker who barely has time to read three pages; therefore, I will be looking for your ability to make a concise, logical argument. -

Final Trial Report: Advocating for Justice and Equity in Business Law II
FINAL Trial REPORT Guidelines
COMPREHENSIVE FINAL: NON JURY TRIAL & WRITTEN REPORT
Following are topics with fact scenarios for a series of Trials. Each student will select a case and a role to represent as their attorney and advocate. There will be plaintiffs, defendants, victims, police, District Attorneys, US Attorneys and other parties with an interest in the trial scenario. Again, you will select a party in one of the cases you wish to represent for the trial report. This process WILL BE your final exam.
You are an advocate, so develop your case from their perspective. As their advocate and representative, you will prepare a written report in support of your “client” from the various areas of the law that we have covered in Business Law II this semester. EACH STUDENT must select a role and turn in an individual report to receive credit for a final exam.
Process and Structure of the trial report for BLS 112 –
STEP 1. CITATION – “Case #_______ , and which Client Name_(Your Name)__
STEP 2. State the FACTS – Describe the situation your client finds themselves in. There are intentional “holes” or gaps in the fact scenarios. This allows you the ‘license’ to make some assumptions…perhaps several assumptions.
STEP 3. List the assumptions you are making…ie… the plaintiff was a minor, or elderly, or of diminished capacity…. Resident of a particular state…
STEP 4. State the ISSUES – What the issues at Law? On the basis of the facts given and your assumptions, develop your case. Defend your positions with the law we have covered.
STEP 5. Make your SUMMATION – petition the court for the action you wish that it takes to seek justice or equity for your client….and Why ? Based on what?
You are encouraged to seek and include outside research. One caveat….please cite your research material in your written report. This trial must be an original document. The only “cut & paste” or AI permissible is a quotation of law, which must be cited.
All work should be submitted on Brightspace, as you have done on previous assignments this semester.
How long should it be? Depends on your case/role selection. Not all roles are created equal… Some will need to be longer than others…keep this in mind when selecting your case and role. Don’t necessarily go for the shortest role because it may be easier…. This report is worth 40% of your semester grade. Do you really want to hang that weight on a scenario where all you could come up with was 2 pages ?
I expect this to be several pages. They are generally around 10….including exhibits, attachments, and cited research. I have seen as much as 40.
You must select a CASE # and CLIENT. -
