Student Last Name 1 Student Instructor Course Date 1) a) I will be arguing the implementation of physician-assisted suicide in Florida and the improvement of current Death with Dignity Act in Oregon. b) The anticipated audience for this research paper is physicians and health care legislators in Florida. Florida physicians and legislators would be an audience because physician-assisted death has always been a conversation in Florida but has never been pushed to the forefront of new legislation. Much of Florida's population growth is from elderly people or “Snowbirds” who tend to make Florida a permanent residency to live out their final years. This explosive growth pushes physician assisted suicide care to the forefront of health policy. This information will be beneficial to those serving in the Florida's government as physician assisted suicide is becoming a more urgent practice in Florida. 2) The topic of implementation of physician-assisted suicide in Florida and improving the current death with dignity act in Oregon is a very modern topic. The debate over PAS is momentous and complex. There is a forever social and political evolution of the talk of controversy that surrounds it. PAS remains a formidable topic in contemporary healthcare debate even when the practice occurred thousands of years ago. In 1967, a right to die bill was pushed to the state level and introduced to Florida State legislators by doctor, Walter Student Last Name 2 W. Sackets. Doctor Sackets bill would have “clarified the right for contempt persons to execute a document indicating that they do not have a desire for certain kinds of interventions when they become terminally ill.” (Ganzini,2017) His legislation failed to pass, but it started a new dialogue surrounding assisted death in Florida. The ban of PAD has been attempted to be overturned through two significant cases. Christopher R. Shafer, notes of these two cases. The case of Charles Hall and the battle over Terri Schiavo. Both terminally ill patients had to go to Florida courts to argue for their own death. Courts decided to uphold state laws by banning PAD, endorsing a 129-year-old state law. Currently, Florida does not allow PAD, it is considered a felony under Florida State law. According to Fla. Stat. Ann (2014), “Every person deliberately assisting another in the commission of self-murder shall be guilty of manslaughter, a felony of the second degree.” The only way to make physician-assisted suicide more appealing and pass legislation is to improve current Death with Dignity acts to appeal to different state demographics. The most successful assisted death law is in Oregon. Norton and Miller (2012) also present data from a qualitative study of social and hospice workers and their reflections on PAS. Most of the data went in support of PAS, and the gratefulness their patients had such an option. The most common reservations of PAS are those of moral background. After reading the literature on the "Death with Dignity Act", if a special task force dealing with PAS ethics is introduced, I believe it might bring greater comfort to people. I think by adding this to the conversation it could appeal to legislators to pass death with dignity laws in Florida. 3) This topic matters because Florida has one of the largest elderly populations in the nation, making the conversation of Physician assisted suicide a relevant legal action. The United Student Last Name 3 States Declaration of Independence declares the right to life and protection of life. Allowing those to suffer in pain and die without dignity, is a direct threat to this protection. Allowing patients, the choice of Physical assisted suicide protects their rights. Physician assisted suicide places value on autonomy over all other ethical considerations. The ability for patients to make their own choices regarding their healthcare matters. 4) a) Physician-assisted suicide should be a legal option for terminally ill patients. I believe in this because it allows terminally ill patients to have control over how, when, and where their life will end. This event will allow those patients to go out with dignity instead of living the remainder of their life physically dependent on machines. In Yan Ming Jane Zhou and Wanye Shelton's article, they discuss the life of Brittany Maynard. She was a terminally ill patient who chose to use the Death by Dignity act. Maynard felt, "Having this choice at the end of [her] life has become incredibly important. It [gave her] a sense of peace during a tumultuous time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty, and pain.” (Zhou & Shelton's, 2020) To appease the population of Florida in order to make Physician-assisted suicide an option a revised version of the Death with Dignity Act of Oregon needs to be done. To go along with the certain standards already in place with the Death with Dignity Act, I think they should develop a task force. The task force will resolve the concerns of most people by assisting in death. They would share info, experience, and understanding of geographic diversity. They could regulate all issues of spiritual distress, race/ethnicity, religious association, political affiliations, and gender issues. Student Last Name 4 b) It is hard to determine a minority and a majority for this subject. It seems that most terminally ill patients and families are in support of the Death by dignity act. They are the group that is the most affected by such legislation. They have seen and experience terminal illness, and the effects it has. The minority is the public. It is a hard subject to understand when you are not directly affected by it. It is hard for the average person to see assisting someone in killing themselves as okay. c) 1. Governance over one's own actions. In this health care setting patients gets to determine which medical interventions to elect or forgo. 2. Physician assisted death allows terminally ill patients relief of suffering 3. Physician assisted death is a safe medical practice. Doctors can ensure death in a way that suicide by other means cannot {Jack Kevorkian} 4. Revisions of current Death with Dignity Act laws can appease the population of Florida, by looking at demographic and sociocultural differences regulated by a task force. 5) The arguments are proven through many different pieces of literature. Dugdale's et al. Discusses the pros of physician-assisted suicide. The four specific main claims I am planning to argue are all found in this article. The history of legislation in the United States is also discussed. This conversation leads to how Oregon was the first to pass such legislation and how it forgoes further legal wrangling. The data from Oregon was analyzed and used to create legislation in other states. Oldham and Ganzini, use quantitative and qualitative data to support the idea that aided death allows patients to have control over their life. Additional information that could be helpful to prove my arguments would be more data on how PAD positively affects health care workers. Christopher R. Shafer analyzed the history and the attitude of Florida nurses towards Student Last Name 5 assisted suicide. His analysis helped me prove the argument that Florida legislation requires the passage of a bill on end-of-life assistance. Accounts of nurses who work with terminally ill patients are accounted for through surveys and interviews. Their statements help support my argument. Shafer also gives examples of the effects of the lack of policy in Florida where the Death by Dignity act would be helpful. Such as the case of Charles Hall. 6) There are many counterarguments that would wage against my stance. Arguments range from pragmatic to philosophical. The biggest argument is that Physician-assisted death is not ethical. Those who believe this, think that life should be lived out all the way to the end. Others question whether patients are competent enough to make those kinds of decisions when they are terminally ill. There are also concerns with the expansion of Physician-assisted death that may cause additional unintended harm through the slippery slope, suicide contagion, and deaths of patients suffering from depression. One argument that could counter all opposition views could be the 14th Amendment. It is often cited as, “a constitutional right for the refusal of treatment, as well as a patient’s right to make choices in his or her care, including PAS” (Shafer,2016) 7) I would counter these arguments with information from Dugdale's et al.’s article. The moral argument is a weak one in this circumstance. Ethics are based on one's own morals. When patients ask for assisted death, they are given a choice that is confirmed by only them. It can also be approved by doctors with all medical ethical issues. I would counter the depression arguments with stats about suicides committed In Oregon since the death by Dignity act passed. I would also discuss how the expansion of assisted death could help with legislation and more data about assisted death. Student Last Name 6 Sources Dugdale,a, L. S., Lerner, B. H., & Callahan, D.

In March 2020, most business were forced to go remote to prevent the spread. In the process of accounting firms going remote, many employees faced challenges from having the correct technology, to adapting to the technology all well trying to stay safe during a pandemic. With a decrease in oversight from management and increased pressure to perform well during an economic crisis, elements like opportunities, pressure and rationalization are present which can lead to fraudulent practices. 1b) The anticipated audience will be scholars who intend to enter the accounting field or in the business field wanting to learn more about business ethics. Scholars are still learning about the accounting profession and field and the effects of COVID-19. This may become a resource for intended use. 2) Ethics in accounting will always be a prevalent conversation since there tends to be grey areas in certain situations. In 2002, the Sarbanes Oxley act was passed regarding major accounting scandals that resulted in financial disasters. In 2008 the great depression occurred in which the Bernie Madoff scheme highlighted fraud that may have been occurring for months or even years. 2011, Pamela Murphy and Tina Dacin’s published Psychological pathways to Fraud: Student Last Name 2 Understanding and Preventing Fraud in Organizations and used the fraud triangle to create an illustrated pathway to show if individuals recognize fraudulent practices. Between 2012 and 2014 more than one author examines the relationships between ethical decision making and the success of a business and the impact on the firm's culture. Leading closer to 2020, in 2019 Sean Valentine and Lynn Godkin’s Moral Intensity, Ethical Decision Making, and Whistleblowing Intention highlights ethical dilemmas and how enhancing either ethical decision making, or internal controls can lead to fraud prevention or increase whistleblowing. In 2019 the CIA and Wuhan Central Hospital were the two most famous whistleblowing organizations. In March 2020, a global pandemic was announced followed by stay-at-home orders and businesses closing left and right. Within academic writing, the conversation stopped until recently. Scholars and I want to determine if the Covid-19 will have a short- or long-term impact regarding fraud. Based off history, economic turnovers have led to discovering fraud, the question that remains unanswered is in the upcoming audits of 2021, will more auditors and fraud examiners discover fraud and can this be linked to working remotely and the decrease in oversight. Also, fraud ties together into a firm's culture. Having a strong, clearly define and well communicated work culture attracts potential employees, but more importantly it affects how the employees interact with their work and firm. It also affects the happiness and satisfaction of your employees. 3) Based on the intended audience, these scholars will be entering or are involved in the accounting field. Ethics, whether in public or private accounting has become a growing interest for both scholars and those already practicing within the field. COVID-19 has also created a vast amount of pressure and targets on companies. It is proven during economic crisis, companies and firms tend to see an observable increased amount of fraud. Scholars who can understand theories, literature and illustrations in the accounting profession will know the lack of strong internal Student Last Name 3 controls is the biggest sign to fraud. Therefore, in the ever-evolving world we currently live in now is the time to reinforce internal controls. 4a) Throughout COVID-19, many accounting firms had to go remote. With the decrease in oversight and more pressure on accountants to meet challenges of a down economy, identifying characteristics and implementing stronger internal controls may prevent fraudulent practices as well as enhance the firms' culture. In times of economic distress, employees may have to be cut, budgets are recalculated which all may affected internal controls. Although fraud may not necessarily increase, it will be become more visible. With the layoff of employees or budget cuts, management will analyze the books potentially discovering fraud. 4b) I believe I am in the majority since accountants handle sensitive information and oversee reporting on financial statements. Covid-19 has caused many accountants to be laid off, furloughed or received a pay cut. Therefore, leaving more work for those still employed causing pressure, tension and stress to complete these challenges on time. With the fear of losing your job, not having food to eat or a house to live in-the fraud triangle becomes prevalent. 4c1) Covid-19 pandemic has created an environment where short-term fraud is taking place more as well as being discovered more. 4c2) Less oversight on employees due to working remote has a positive correlation with fraudulent practices. 4c3) Identifying characteristics of ethical decision making and implementing stronger internal controls a firm is necessary during the pandemic. 4c4) How an accounting firms' culture and accountability can affect its employee's behaviors. Student Last Name 4 5) Throughout my sources, many correlations and relationships have been identified. Valentine and Godkin recognize morals, values and awareness are related to ethical decision making as well as Itai Beeri et al. also acknowledged this correlation which highlights the demand for enhancing ethical codes and procedures. Jonathan Karpoff also recognized since the early 2000s fraud has decreased, but with the changes due to Covid-19, management has recognized fraud may not have been decreasing, just less detectable. Karpoff reveals other developments can help to reduce fraud. I want to then add how internal controls as well as technology, wealth as well as time can be used too. This then improves an organizations culture and accountability. Having trust within a firm, employees and investors relays a strong organization. Trust also affects the way employees perform and make decisions. Therefore, Paul Jaijaram source about ethical practice in the workplace can prove how individual values can affect an accountant's attitude towards ethically decisions. 6) A counterargument may be most accounting firms have implemented fraud prevention steps, have CPA’s and fraud examiners who reviews the books and financial statements. There also is an International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants who develops and issues a code of ethics for professional accountants and the firms must adopt their own plans. This code includes strong conceptual framework and fundamental principles. The code explicitly states how to apply the code to comply with the fundamental principles where applicable and where to be independent. Also, on the IESBA website, the completed and revised objective for each of the five principles. 7) Based on history of times of economic distress, there is a positive increase in fraud. Covid has caused many people to lose their jobs and cutting budgets which may include the CPA or fraud examiner. n this unforeseen pandemic, anti-fraud programs may cost more than it saves. This Student Last Name 5 then may create no separation of duties which can increase fraudulent practices. Plus, although the IESBA does issue this code of ethics, it is truly based on the international code of ethics meaning it is used all around the world. It is principles-based, and sometimes ethical issues fall outside these codes' objective. Also, the IESBA has no power to enforce the adoption of their standards. It is the firm's responsibility to adopt these standards which gives accounting firms the opportunity to implement their own code of ethics and internal controls. Renewable Energy: Wind Energy Saidur, R., Islam, M. R., Rahim, N. A., & Solangi, K. H. (2010). A review on global wind energy policy. Renewable and sustainable energy reviews, 14(7), 1744-1762. Saidur, M. R. Islam, N. A. Rahim, and K. H. Solangi authored this source. The authors established that most energy is extracted via the rotor, which transforms kinetic energy into mechanical energy, and the generator, which transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. This is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that provides readers with information on renewable energy, notably wind energy. As readers will see, wind energy is economically viable in both the machinery necessary to generate it and the energy produced. Although it was formerly believed that the initial cost of building a wind turbine was expensive, a long-term study has demonstrated that this was not the case. This source contains no citations and provides a limited amount of information. It is not necessary to cite other sources because it contains accurate information. The authors indeed make arguments by underlining the audience's importance of wind energy. They are crucial because they provide consistent power to the entire planet. This is due to their ease of access. The issue with nonrenewable energy is that it produces dangerous greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when it is used. In particular, when the globe consumes much too much, far too quickly, and the planet cannot replenish the fossil fuels naturally or soon enough. The author discuss the relevant experience, as they have demonstrated that one of the benefits of this type of energy is its interchangeability and sustainability. Renewable energy is critical since it is used extensively in the production of electricity and heat. Wind energy has established itself as one of the most widely deployed renewable energy sources. Wind energy is the process by which the kinetic energy of the blades turned by the wind is converted to electricity. Wind moves the blades, causing an electric generator to spin and generate electricity, transmitted to the home via power connections. The sources have no linkages, and the most recent update date is not specified. This source is particularly enticing to viewers. Wind energy is a renewable source of energy captured by wind turbines. Wind turbines are installed in wind farms, clusters of wind turbines are strategically placed to take advantage of local wind patterns. Clean energy is one of the fastest expanding sectors in the world. Despite the ongoing expansion, renewable energy generation fell by 1% in 2016, not due to a lack of infrastructure, but less wind at normal wind turbine elevations. People, according to this source, appreciate the wind a great deal. The writers hope to convince readers that wind power can provide a considerable amount of energy to inhabitants in the twenty-first century because it is reliable when used properly. Wind energy has various advantages, like being a renewable source of energy, being dependable, inexpensive, and costeffective, which is why it should be employed more frequently. Wind turbines come in various sizes and configurations to suit a variety of uses, including boats and buildings. Because the ability to support the world's 6.3 billion people's massive industries and businesses is a vital prerequisite for wind power, the articles do not provide the facts fairly. Wind energy must also be capable of addressing the global population's needs. This information is for anyone who relies heavily on wind energy as a primary source of electricity. Renewable energy is gaining importance as the world's population, and resource use expand. Given the amount of pollution produced by people, they must develop environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. The extensive usage of gas and oil, which release harmful compounds into the ozone layer, has become an issue in contemporary life. Mander, S. (2008). The role of discourse coalitions in planning for renewable energy: a case study of wind-energy deployment. Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, 26(3), 583-600. Mander, S is the author of this source, and it is an academic article since wind energy has received a lot of attention in recent decades as a renewable energy source due to its low cost and low environmental impact. Wind energy is rising quickly because renewable energy is becoming more competitive in the market as technology advances and government laws adapt to the traditional energy industry's increasing pollution. Wind energy has been employed in various ways for hundreds of years, but not for generating electricity. The writers make strong arguments since they have established that the wind generates wind energy. It was one of the first resources used by humanity. Wind energy is used to convert the energy created by wind turbine blades to electrical energy, which the wind turbine then converts to wind energy, which the wind turbine then converts to mechanical energy. It is a constant source of pollution while simultaneously promoting long-term growth. It is designed, builds, operated, and maintained solar power plants and other energy conversion systems that utilize renewable energy sources such as biomass and wind. This is the only indication to the reader that the author has relevant expertise. Because wind energy is the most widely used traditional energy source among all renewable energy sources, the sources provide a wealth of information that took me some time to summarize. This is for various reasons, one of which is that wind energy is absolutely free, environmentally beneficial, and has an infinite supply. It has no adverse effect on the environment because it creates no greenhouse gases or harmful compounds. Due to the limited nature of the material, the source does not include a hyperlink or a publication date. This source is appropriate because readers have learned that wind energy is used to transform the energy produced by wind turbine blades to electrical energy, which is then turned to wind energy, which is then transferred to mechanical energy by the wind turbine. It is a constant source of pollution while simultaneously promoting long-term growth. One can be assisted if they wish to be a part of the renewable energy conversion process. It is designed, builds, operated, and maintained solar power plants and other energy conversion systems that utilize renewable energy sources such as biomass and wind. The sources are quite persuasive in convincing the audience that they must shift to wind energy for economic reasons. As a result, it does not provide objective information. Because the term "wind energy" refers to the process of using a wind turbine to generate mechanical strength through the use of wind and wind, this website is a proponent of the cause. Windmills were once used for crushing wheat and power pumps hundreds of years ago. On the other hand, modern wind turbines absorb kinetic energy via propellers. Generators convert kinetic energy to electrical energy. While larger wind turbines are typically found in wind farms, small wind turbines can be built in residential and business locations to serve less than 10,000. The source is directed at those who consume the greatest amount of this type of energy. Wind energy seeks to meet electricity demand while limiting adverse effects on wildlife and environmental degradation. We will create new jobs by creating wind farms, operating them daily, producing components, and exporting components to other nations. In 1986, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory assessed the United States' wind energy resources.

Renewable wind energy
1. Topic
a. The environmental impact of fossil fuels has necessitated exploration of renewable
energy sources. These are energy sources that are not depleted or destroyed when
harnessed. Wind energy is a renewable form of energy that harnesses wind and waves
that has developed significantly in the recent past. The proposal focuses on renewable
wind energy, how it is generated and used and its adoption in the market.
b. The appropriate audience for the research are proponents of renewable energy
sources. With rising costs of fossil fuels and the environment, the public has grown
interested in other sources of energy that are equally reliable but less taxing on the
environment. With changing technology in the field of renewable energy sources, the
present analysis will be a resource to inform masses on the progress that has been
made and what to expect in the future.
2. The topic of renewable wind energy has not been extensively explored compared to other
renewable sources like solar. The climate change debate has created doubt in the efficacy
of renewable sources of energy to sustain the growing population. However, governments
and the private sector a...
