Argumentative Essay Final Project
I have attached my 1st draft from my Week 3 assignment Titled (W3A1). Make sure to update according to Teachers rule and add the necessary information. I attached the teachers analysis of my Assignment to be used when updating my Final Paper. Also attached any course material you may need. Contact me with any questions. Argumentative Essay In the Week Three Assignment, you engaged in a case analysis of a
current business problem using some of the components of an
argumentative essay. In this written assignment, you will write a
complete argumentative essay as described in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking
(Foster, Hardy, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). This essay will include a
revised and polished version of your Week Three Assignment, an
objection to your thesis, a rebuttal, and concluding remarks. In order
to benefit the most, you should start working on your Final Project from
the time you receive your Week Three Assignment back with comments from
your professor.Your assignment should include the following:
A revision of your Week Three Case Analysis Assignment.
Your revision should represent a substantial edit of your work that
fully incorporates feedback from your professor and goes well beyond
correcting any grammatical or APA errors.The strongest possible objection to your thesis.
After the final paragraph of your Week Three Case Analysis Assignment,
start a new paragraph that introduces the strongest possible objection
to your thesis. The considerations for this are detailed in Section 9.2
of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy,
Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). Make sure to employ the
appropriate language to introduce the objection, such as “some may
object to my thesis as follows” or “according to [so and so] the thesis
presented here fails to account for X” [whatever he or she finds
problematic]. You can find other language to do this, of course, but the
key point here is to make sure that you indicate that someone else is
speaking when presenting this objection.It is also important to remember that you do research to
discover good objections and not merely objections that are weak and
thus easily rebutted. Look for peer-reviewed journal articles in the
Ashford University Library, full-text articles in Google Scholar, or
articles in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Present the
opposing position fairly and in detail. This may take more than one
paragraph.A rebuttal. This is a refutation of the
objection that you have just presented. Start this in a new paragraph
following the objection paragraph(s). Once again, follow the indications
of Section 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking
(Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). You may point out an
error in the objection. Or you may show that, while it is an important
objection, it does not apply squarely to your argument, or does not
account for facts that make it irrelevant. Above all, make sure to
maintain philosophical decorum in your rebuttal. Toward this end, you
should apply the principles of charity and of accuracy, first introduced
in the Week One course material. See “Confronting Disagreement” in
Section 9.4 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015).Closing remarks. End your argumentative
essay with a paragraph of closing remarks. Provide some reflections of
what you have attempted to achieve by means of your essay. You could,
for example, explain how your essay sheds light on the broader
controversy that it addresses. Or you could point out how your essay
addresses a frequently ignored point or the unpopular side in the
controversy. You could also reflect on the related matters in the
broader controversy that would be useful to examine by others. Do not
merely summarize what you have done in the body of your essay, and do
not add new information here that would support or contradict your essay
since the body of your essay should have addressed all the relevant
points. See “Closing Your Essay” in Section 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo (2015).Requirements for your Assignment:
Your assignment should be between 1500 to 1700 words in length, excluding the cover and references pages.
Your examination should be both thorough and succinct.
This is a combination that demands time and thought, so give yourself
sufficient time to draft and revise.
Your assignment should include citations, as well as a list of references. Both must be in APA form.
Your references should include at least four
peer-reviewed articles in addition to those that you will be carrying
over from our Week Three Case Analysis Assignment. These
references should be drawn from the Ashford University Library, Google
Scholar, or the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
Your assignment should be submitted no later than the end of Monday (midnight, U.S. Mountain time).

Friedman presents a two-part clarification of what
we may understand as social responsibility. The first part states that
the responsibility of business is to its shareholders by using its
resources to increase profits. Most stop here and assume that Friedman
is advocating an ethics of egoism. But the important second part is that
Friedman argues that business must be bound by the law and rules of
honesty and decency toward others.

This report shows that although women have made
notable gains in pay, there is a gender gap in pay of around twenty
percent. This is due to three factors: (1) most women take part time
jobs, (2) a greater percent of women compared to men leave the labor
force for child birth, child care, and/or elder parents care, and (3)
women prefer certain family friendly industries or jobs that also tend
to be lower paying.
