For this discussion, choose a topic of interest for which you feel you could create a strong argument on two opposing sides or choose from one of the following topics:

*Without staking out a position here for the initial post, consider and discuss two of the following questions:

 

Do these arguments represent the best arguments on each side of the question? What more can we do to better understand those on the both sides of important questions? In what ways can this kind of exercise can help you to look at issues more objectively and fairly? What more can people do to understand the views of those with different perspectives on this and other topics?

Do you think that understanding issues as strongly as possible from multiple points of view could promote a better life?

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read the assigned chapters in your textbook and watch the videos Identifying Premises and Conclusions (Links to an external site.), What Is an Argument? (Links to an external site.), What Is a Good Argument? (Part I) (Links to an external site.), and What Is a Good Argument?: The Logic Condition (Links to an external site.).

 

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.

 

If you have not done so already, begin by choosing a topic from the Final Paper Options Preview the documentlist to use in your writing assignments in this course. The next step is to formulate a specific research question that is important regarding this topic. You may review The Research Process (Links to an external site.)resource for more information. So, if your topic is gun control, you would formulate a specific question, such as, “Are universal background checks effective at reducing violent crime in America?”

 

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 ExamplePreview the document 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.

Discuss the impact that unemployment rates, skill levels, and organizational locations have on attracting the most talented applicants.

Staffing Plan

 

Human resource planning involves forecasting the organization’s talent needs to align with the organization’s staffing strategy. Recruiters must be aware of the industry they compete for talent, the skill level of talent within the recruitment area (e.g., regionally, nationally, and globally), and the customs and traditions within the global locations.

 

Select a Fortune 500 company in a competitive market for talent. For the purpose of this Critical Thinking Assignment, you are required to create a recruiting plan, in PowerPoint format, to be presented to the company’s leadership, taking into consideration an organization’s strategy, culture, and labor markets.  

 

Your PowerPoint presentation must include the following information:

 

  1. Details about the talent needs of the organization and what workers the organization often hires (i.e., sales workers, IT professionals, engineers, etc.).
  2. Discuss the impact that unemployment rates, skill levels, and organizational locations have on attracting the most talented applicants. Make this information specific to your organization. For example, if your organization is headquartered in Silicon Valley, what must be considered when attracting talent?
  3. Explain methods that can be used, by your selected organization, to hire a culturally diverse workforce.

 

Instructions for CTs:

 

  • Develop a 10-12 slide presentation, not including the title and reference pages, which are required.
  • You must include a minimum of two paragraphs of notes, within the speaker’s note section (for EACH slide), to enhance your slide and prevent clutter, realizing this is a slide presentation for leadership.
  • Your presentation must be properly cited – 3 References
