Write a persuasive memo.

.Instructions

Prepare a short, persuasive piece of writing that makes a recommendation for improvement. This will be formatted as a memo or a letter. Your memo should be no more than one page, single spaced.

Choose a minor issue that causes difficulties or problems in your life—at school, where you work, in an organization in your community, or at your child’s daycare.  Explain the problem to the person who can solve it (teacher? dean? fellow student? manager? organization’s leader?).  Make a brief and practical recommendation for solving this problem

How do you solve partnership dissagrements?

magine that your partner is disputing the partnership agreement you have. You know that the terms of the agreement are still the same, but it was just implied among the partners and there is no written document. Assess the situation and write a two to three (2-3) page paper that provides a plan of action or solution to this problem.

How do you manage finances?

Select a portfolio of common stocks in five companies whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Base your selection of stocks on your own personal willingness to take risks. Look up the beta of each company. Using equal weights, compute the portfolio beta, showing your work. Discuss how the portfolio beta compares to your own willingness to take risks. Discuss whether you would rather hold an individual stock or a portfolio of stocks.

If you were the researcher conducting this study and found that you were not familiar with the particular research population, what steps would you take to prepare yourself to conduct the research with this population?

Using the Argosy University online library resources, locate a research study related to forensic psychology. Present an analysis of the article by addressing the following points:

  • Provide a brief overview of the problem being studied, the research design, and the participants being used for the study.
  • If you were the researcher conducting this study and found that you were not familiar with the particular research population, what steps would you take to prepare yourself to conduct the research with this population?
  • Was any deception used in this study? If so, why was this deception necessary? If not, do you think that the study would have benefited from any kind of deception?
  • What steps did the researcher take to protect his or her participants?
  • If you were the researcher, would you have conducted this study the same way in relation to ethics and protection of the participants? If not, what changes would you make?

Post your response in a minimum of 250 words.

Explain the term national budget simulation.

Imagine that you are an Economic Advisor to the President and need to provide a plan for reducing the federal debt. Conflicting goals create a need for compromise and tradeoffs to create a national budget while trying to remain under deficit limits. Follow the steps below to complete the activity, then respond to the questions posed:

1. Follow this link to the The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget: Stabilize the Debt Simulation.

2. Carefully read the background information and instructions before beginning the simulation. Your goal is

to stabilize the U.S. debt at 60% of GDP by 2018.

3. When cutting programs, keep in mind that program cuts could seriously affect citizens’ daily lives. While it

is easy to quickly  reach deficit limits by making extreme cuts or even eliminating entire programs, try to

consider the real-life ramifications of such cuts. Make sure to click on each budget area to access more

information about it in weighing your decisions.

4. You do not need to provide your personal information at the end of the simulation.

After you have completed the online simulation, answer the following: What were the major changes you made to the budget to reach the goal? Why did you choose those changes over others – what were the trade-offs involved? How will the changes you made affect different groups of citizens? Do you think these changes would be politically feasible?
