...HARVARD COLLEGE Writing Center WRITING CENTER BRIEF GUIDE SERIES A Brief Guide to Writing the Philosophy Paper The Challenges of Philosophical Writing The aim of the assignments in your philosophy classes is to get you doing philosophy. But what is philosophy, and how is it to be done? The answer is complicated. Philosophers are often motivated by one or more of what we might call the “Big Questions,” such as: How should we live? Is there free will? How do we know anything? or, What is truth? While philosophers do not agree among themselves on either the range of proper philosophical questions or the proper methods of answering them, they do agree that merely expressing one’s personal opinions on controversial topics like these is not doing philosophy. Rather, philosophers insist on the method of first attaining clarity about the exact question being asked, and then providing answers supported by clear, logically structured arguments. An ideal philosophical argument should lead the reader in undeniable logical steps from obviously true premises to an unobvious conclusion. A negative argument is an objection that tries to show that a claim, theory, or argument is mistaken; if it does so successfully, we say that it refutes it. A positive argument tries to support a claim or theory, for example, the view that there is genuine free will, or the view that we should never eat animals. Positive philosophical arguments about the Big Questions that are ideal are extremely hard to construct...

...word assignment. The Workplace Project on Leadership This project focuses on a critical analysis of a leader’s style and provides recommendations on how to sustain or improve leadership effectiveness. The intent of this assignment is to give you the opportunity to interview someone you genuinely admire for their leadership skills and results. You should choose someone that is somehow related to your personal goals (e.g., someone in the industry you eventually hope to work in, someone holding a position that you someday aspire to). This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn first hand about why this person is a respected and successful leader. Furthermore, this project will allow you to learn more about “real” leaders' traits, behaviours, and skills as they relate to leadership effectiveness. Your choice of questions and your analysis of responses in the interview must reflect the information covered throughout the course. The purpose of this assignment is to get you to see what practices, theories and philosophies a “real” leader uses. STEP 1 Select a leader of your choice. Collect background information for their organization (via annual reports, web and other sources). STEP 2 Secure an interview appointment with the leader of your choice. Let this person know in advance how long the interview might take, probably around an hour. Prepare your key questions prior to the meeting. A copy of your questions can be given to the organisation prior to your meeting...

...Human Resource Planning Assignment - 1 Due Date: 14th March, 2016 CHAPTER 1: STRATEGIC STRAFFIN In this chapter, you learned that the strategic staffing process guided by hiring goal that are clearly linked to an organization's strategies and objectives. The goal of strategic staffing is to enable the organization to better execute its business strategy. There are two types of staffing goals: process goals and outcome goals. Process goals relate to the hiring process itself, and outcome goals apply to the product of the hiring effort. Table 1-2 gives examples of both types of staffing goals, and Table 1-3 gives you some questions to consider in setting appropriate staffing goals. Your consulting assignment for Chapter 1 is to identify realistic long-term and short-term process and outcome goals for staffing of sales associate positions at Chern's. Be sure to relate your goals to the firm's business strategy and explain why each is important and should be adopted by the company. CHAPTER 2: BUSINESS AND STAFFING STRATEGIES In this chapter, you learned about how a firm's business strategy and talent philosophy shape its HR strategy, which then influences the firm's staffing strategy. After Ryan and Ann learned about this process, they felt that the company needed to develop a more formal talent philosophy of its own to shape its HR and staffing strategy. They have asked you for your recommendations. Chapter 2 and Tables 2-4 and 2-5 should help you identify key components...

...Educational Mission Statement Martina Little NUR/588: Developing and Evaluating Educational Programs June 8, 2015 Jennie Pattison Educational Mission Statement The goal of this paper is to address the mission and philosophy statements of both the work and school institution in which I attend. The mission and philosophy statements of both will be compared and contrasted, by incorporating examples of how they relate and differ. My definition of a mission statement is to provide insight of the institutions goals and overall agenda. The philosophy defines and supports the attitude and outlook of the institutions mission statement. Due to the military, I now reside in Virginia. I work at an institution that was founded by nuns and embodies religion as its common denominator amongst many other health organizations. The institutions mission states: “The Mission of Bon Secours Health System is to bring compassion to health care and to be Good Help to Those in Need, especially those who are poor and dying. As a System of caregivers, we commit ourselves to help bring people and communities to health and wholeness as part of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.” This mission statement is valued throughout the facility starting from the beginning and end of our shifts through “huddles.

...of morality: Your example needs to be a paragraph, about 5-7 sentences long. Be sure to be specific, and explain how your definition shows what morality is/means to you. Please connect your definition to the philosophies on morality that we read about in the book. Definitions of happiness: this needs to be your own personal definition of happiness, but be sure to refer to the comments/suggestions I made to you in your Unit 7 project to help you in writing this definition. Don't forget to refer to the philosophies on happiness from the textbook. Are you a hedonist? An epicurean? A blend of various philosophies? Finally, identify a significant literary work, piece of visual art, a song, a film, and an item from popular culture. I encourage you to get creative and use examples that are not mentioned in the book! Anything goes, as long as you justify why you chose the particular work you did. I have had students write about classic literature and I have had students claim that Dr. Seuss is a significant author that everyone should read. You get the idea! Just be sure to explain how each of your examples define or exemplify 20th – 21st century culture. Why do you feel like what you have chosen is important? The best projects relate your choices to your definitions of morality and happiness. This should not be just a series of paragraphs, but also an experiment in the Humanities. How does the book, the painting, the song, etc. that you chose help you make meaning...

...Crystal Eastham Professor Soden EDUC 200-D04 11/23/2015 Philosophy Essay An important part of being an effective teacher is knowing what your philosophy is. Your philosophy helps to determine how you will teach and how it will impact your students. When preparing for this paper I had to learn what my philosophy is. The results showed an equal foundation in both perennialism and social reconstructionism. In this paper I will discuss what these are and how they will be applied in a classroom setting. The perennialism psychology places a lot of importance on learning through teaching that have stood the test of time such as literature or curriculum. It is important to use methods that have a high success rate in order to have a base line for teaching. If something has the same effective rate now as it used to then it would be wise to use it repeatedly. At the same time social reconstructionism is the philosophy that focusses on the social aspect of a child’s growth. This places importance on ensuring kids have a strong foundation in equality and fairness. I see the value in both of these philosophies although I feel in a way that they contradict each other. It is important to instill in children things that make the past so influential yet prepare them for the future. This being said, how can one use these philosophies in a real life scenario? Imagine you are an American History teacher, and you want your students to do more than simply memorize their way through the information...

...company wanted costs cut and the Vice President for HR wants this by having cheaper training programs, shorter expatriate assignments and a faster appointment of HCNs. At the first meeting, Eric realized that Fred’s team did not relate well to their Mexican counterparts and Tex-Mark did not treat the local and national government agencies with enough respect and sensitivity. Although, it seemed that Fred will get a good position in India, but in the last minute, another candidate got it. Eric thought that this was due to Fred’s unwillingness to train and hand over responsibilities to local engineers and his inability to work well with district and federal regulations in India. After the first meeting, Eric prepared for the second one with the Director and gathered all the necessary data. He realized that there is a big need for language training because China is more challenging, but this causes language problems and cultural difficulties as well. He was also thinking on the repatriation, so he searched the data on repatriate turnover. HR Analysis The strength of the HR manager department is the innovativeness, they offer many career opportunities for their employees and they also care about them.
