That's good. Your statement of the problem, however, seems unfocused and provides no suggestion that you will be proposing anything related to CEOS. I suggest that you redefine the problem so that it specifically refers to the absence of CEO leadership. The solution, more CEO leadership, would naturally follow as a solution. In presenting your solution, try to come up with a better summary statement that "contribute much"---that's too vague. And do you have a suggestion about how to compel CEOs to address social issues? Surname 1 Sample Essay #1 What's worse than the empty calories in sugary soda drinks? It's cheap, empty calories in sugary soda drinks. Obesity poses a growing public health problem, one in which soda consumption plays a major role. We can't make sodas nutritionally rich. But we can do the next best thing: make them more expensive. I propose a penny-per-ounce federal tax on sugared soda drinks. This would deter consumption while raising revenue to support obesity-related public health programs. Soda consumption is not the sole cause of obesity but studies suggest that it significantly contributes to the obesity problem. The sugars in sodas supply empty calories, energy that the body can't use and is converted into fat. In the past 50 years, the average amount of sugar consumed per capita in America has increased by 24 pounds a year.(2) This dismal trend has affected children to a frightening extent. Sugared beverages now account for 10% of the caloric intake of children and teenagers in America.(1) Kelly D. Brownell, a Yale professor, and Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, of the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, wrote in an article in The New England Journal of Medicine last year: "In the mid-1990s, children's intake of sugared beverages surpassed that of milk. For each extra can or glass of sugared beverage consumed per day, the likelihood of a child's becoming obese increases by 60%."(2) Inexpensive soda is especially prevalent in low-income neighborhoods. Dr. Richard F. Daines, New York State's health commissioner, said that in his own middle-class neighborhood, "you won't see a single soda billboard." But in Harlem, sodas seem to be everywhere: "This is cheap, it's heavily advertised, it tastes really good."(3) He added, "We plunge kids into that environment and we say, if you have a problem, you lack selfcontrol."(3) Surname 2 Defenders of the industry argue that sodas should not be singled out and made to carry the blame for the nation's obesity problems. J. Justin Wilson, who is an analyst with the Center for Consumer Freedom, said, "Soda has calories, and food with calories causes people to put on weight when consumed in excess. But there is no unique link between soda and obesity."(1) But this argument ignores the fact that sugared beverages are the number one source of calories in our diet today.(1) These drinks won't seem quite as sweet if they cost more. New York State's governor has proposed a penny-per-ounce tax on sugared beverages, a tax that I advocate extending nationally. Dr. Daines supports the tax, but suggests that it be called simply a "beverage tax" rather than a "fat tax."(3) A beverage tax on sugared sodas would lower consumption. On this point, both advocates of the tax and its opponents agree. The beverage industry projects a 7.8% decline for every 6.8% increase in price.(2) This projection is even greater than the findings in a recent Yale study, in which a 10% price increase resulted in a 7.8% drop in consumption.(2) The tax would also generate sorely needed revenue for the government. A penny-per-ounce tax would bring in $1.2 billion annually just in New York State.(2) A lighter tax, assessing a quarter-of-a-cent-per-ounce tax (3 cents on a 12-ounce sugared soda) and extended nationwide, would raise an estimated $51.6 billion over a decade, according to estimates made by the Joint Committee on Taxation.(1) The calculation was made when the tax was considered as a source of funds for health-care reform.(1) Opponents of the tax cannot claim that a beverage tax would open an entirely new area to taxation. Some states already have a tax on sodas: Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.(1) Would the tax be regressive, falling disproportionately on the poor? The American Beverage Association is sponsoring commercials that depict homemakers worried that they will no longer be able to afford adequate food for their families if they Surname 3 have to pay a tax on sodas. Jane Brody, the health columnist for The New York Times, counters that it is "those who find it hardest to make ends meet" who would benefit the most from the tax because "these are the people who can least afford to waste hard-earned dollars on empty calories that undermine their health."(2) A soda tax can be likened to the tax on tobacco: it's not a matter of morality, but one of public health. Our experience on the tobacco front shows that public policy can make a fairly dramatic difference in encouraging healthier behavior. Americans smoke at half the rate they once did and half of all smokers have quit---and it is the tobacco companies who finance antismoking campaigns.(1) We have not yet seen Coke and Pepsi financing anti-soda advertising campaigns. But we do see these companies diversifying, promoting sports drinks, energy drinks, and sweetened teas---all of which are sugary beverages, too, and would be subject to the beverage tax I propose.(2) Obesity is too large a problem to be amenable to a single fix. The beverage tax isn't a panacea, but it would help to get pricing signals better aligned with the public's long-term health interests. Yale's Kelly Bronwell said, "What you want is to reverse the fact that healthy food is too expensive and unhealthy food is too cheap, and the soda tax is a start. Unless food marketing changes, it's hard to believe that anything else can work."(1) CITATIONS 1. "Is Soda the New Tobacco?" The New York Times. 13 February 2010. 2.

Surname 4 The following essay was written by a student in 2013 who received an A grade. Notice the impressive use of many good sources (which were very recent when this was submitted). Sample Essay #2 A woman sits at the back of a club, listening to the band and watching the other patrons dance. Every few minutes, she reaches into her pocket, pulls out a device that resembles an oversized pen, raises it to her mouth, and blows a cloud of vapor as a relieved look spreads across her face. She is using a device that has become popular among tobacco smokers: the ecigarette. E-cigarettes are a technological advancement for the lifestyle of a smoker. These devices use a liquid nicotine solution instead of tobacco, which when heated delivers the nicotine to the user, who then exhales a cloud of water vapor instead of smoke, often referred to as "vaping."(5) The woman's use of the e-cigarette in the example above presents a complex problem to the owners of the club and the patrons inside; should they kick her out for smoking indoors, even though the byproduct of her activities is vapor, not smoke? Authorities are not sure when or if they can enforce the laws affecting where a person can or cannot smoke: How do you demand they stub out a cigarette when there's no flame.(5) A reason for the lack of laws regarding e-cigarettes is that their long-term effects are unknown and largely untested. Critics of ecigarettes argue that these devices, if used at all, should be tools to help a person quit a smoking habit, and even then, the smoker should use only thoroughly tested products like Nicorette gum and prescription patches.(7) Despite the arguments surrounding ecigarettes, both sides believe that there should be an increased amount of time and effort to study the effects (or lack thereof) of these products. A major argument for widespread and unconventional use of cigarettes' electronic counterpart is that the vapor inhaled and Surname 5 exhaled by the smoker is completely harmless. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted a study on the matter in 2009 and found that e-cigarette emissions contained "carcinogens and toxic chemicals, including the ingredients found in anti-freeze."(1) In addition, many of the chemicals that compose the vapor can be found on California's Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects, including formaldehyde, lead, and of course, nicotine.(3) The list of these chemicals (and many others) was compiled to protect Californians from harmful substances, and at least ten of these chemicals are found in e-cigarette vapor. With the lack of regulation paralleling that of the tobacco industry, e-cigarette companies seem poised to make their products appealing to young people. The strict codes that keep the marketing campaigns of tobacco companies in line are not enforced upon e-cigarette manufacturers. The potency of ecigarettes allows them heightened presence in the public eye and many worry that this may lead to a pathway to nicotine addiction for children.(8) Unregulated advertisements could lead children or young people into believing that using e-cigarettes is a safe alternative to traditional tobacco use, when they are still full of addictive nicotine. Companies are turning out e-cigarettes with novelty flavors like vanilla and even Mountain Dew, with the intention to coerce young people into using their products.(4) Companies know that adding "fun" flavors to their product will give users and potential customers the idea that smoking an ecigarette is fun, and the "fun" aspect appeals to the younger demographic. In 2012 the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention found that "1.8 middle and high school students said they had tried e-cigarettes."(6) Along with the fear of the rise in e-cigarette use among young people is the fear that e-cigarettes will act as a "gateway" to other tobacco products. The same organization mentioned above found that e-cigarette use among middle and high school students rose from 1.4% to 2.7% and 4.7% to 10% from 2011 to 2012, Surname 6 respectively.(2) These increasing numbers worry anti-tobacco advocates, as does the pervasive market for the products. Ecigarettes are being bought and sold over the internet, giving anyone with a credit card the ability to obtain the product, regardless of age.(2) The marketing that paints the e-cigarette user as cool, fashionable, and/or sexy may inspire young people to pursue the more dangerous, and thus "cooler" alternative to ecigarettes: real tobacco products. In light of all this controversy, the FDA needs to put its foot down and regulate the market for distribution, sale, and advertisement of e-cigarettes by treating them equally with their tobacco-filled equivalents. These companies are glamorizing their products through ads and promotions the same way big tobacco did in the days before strict government regulation; the current lack of regulation is undoing years of public health policy that limited the pervasiveness of smoking.(5) In addition, the same strict age restrictions need to be applied to e-cigarette sales, in a society where their use has doubled among teens in the past year alone.(4) The "fun" flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and the like must be streamlined or banned so children will not view vaping as a fun activity. People are "vaping" indoors, outdoors, in cars, in bed, and virtually anywhere they want because there is no government entity that is telling them not to. Without regulation, e-cigarettes will be everywhere and their supposed "harmlessness" will be engrained in the minds of the nation's youth, much like those who believed the same about traditional cigarettes in the early 20th century and earlier.

Guidelines for the Essay A well-supported, but opinionated, essay Many student essay assignments ask that you prepare an informative essay, and you are expected to hide your opinion about the topic and take a strictly neutral approach to the subject. This assignment is not an informative essay, but a persuasive essay. You will select a significant social problem that relates to business, a problem that you personally care about and you will propose one solution that, in your opinion, is the best one for addressing the problem. If the paper consists entirely of your opinions and nothing else, it will not be persuasive. Your opinion must be supported with expert opinion from authorities, from facts, and from logical reasoning. You must show where you obtained the expert opinion and the facts that you cite. The more sources that are used to back your points, the stronger the paper. Preparing the paper involves three steps: 1. Selecting an unsolved business-government-and-society problem; finding at least two articles from either the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal that report on it, or from both; and then thinking of a solution that you will advocate in your paper. 2. Preparing a brief outline of your main points with at least one source reference placed by every point in the outline. 3. Writing the essay, which will be limited to 900 words. Selecting a topic The essay should take on a topic that involves a major problem that involves one business or group of businesses and currently affects American society. Please stick to the United States for this assignment. It should be a problem that affects a significant number of people----and it should be a problem that has not been solved. The problem needs to involve the actions of business firms in some way--and also to have an undesirable effect upon "society." If a company reports a quarterly loss, that does not constitute a problem that faces American society. However, if a company with many employees----like General Motors----asks the federal government for financial assistance to avoid closing its doors, this presents a business-government-andsociety problem. The essay will not only identify the problem, it will also offer one specific proposal to change government policy, government regulation, or business practices that would help to reduce or eliminate the problem. It must be a solution that is not already in place. Only one solution should be offered---not two solutions, not three solutions, only one. Limiting the solution to one is necessary in order to describe and support it well in a short paper. The essay should clearly state both the problem and the one proposed solution in the first paragraph and use the remainder of the essay to fill in details. It should rely on fresh research that presents supporting quotations from authorities who are knowledgeable about the subject. Examples of major business-government-and-society problems: Problem: High rates of obesity in low-income neighborhoods Proposal: Provide grants to small grocery stores in these neighborhoods for installing refrigeration units for fresh vegetables and fruit. Problem: Consumers continue to prefer purchasing gasoline-powered vehicles rather than electric vehicles that are less damaging to the environment Proposal: Provide a much larger federal rebate than has ever been offered before for electric vehicles---$20,000 per purchase Problem: Beef production on a mass scale in giant feedlots produces air pollution that is closely linked to global warming Proposal: Use tax policy to encourage production of beef and dairy products on small, traditional farms These problems and solutions are suggested only for purposes of illustration. The range of possible problems is virtually unlimited, and so too are possible solutions (and you can propose a different solution to any of the problems identified above, if you select one of these problems---but remember: only ONE solution). Sources You're expected to find relevant supporting materials that were not read for class. Even if you should select a topic related to one of the course readings or a news article introduced in class, your paper should not have any references to the texts or articles that have been used (nor should you use any sources used in the essays that follow below in this handout). You're expected to find fresh material. Two requirements: 1. The essay should cite at least two articles from either the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. 2. At least one of those two articles should have been published since the beginning of the semester. Sources from other publications can be used, too, but only as an addition to the minimum-of-two-New-York-Times-or-Wall-Street-Journalstories, not as a substitute. Keep in mind that every factual statement should have a source. And every statement of opinion will be strengthened if you can find an expert authority who has made a statement that supports your position. The more sources that are used to back your points, the stronger the paper. You can't go wrong using New York Times and Wall Street Journal articles. But if you would like to use additional material, please do not use material from the web in which the web page was not formally published with a clear date of publication. The only exception would be websites operated by the federal government (their URL always ends in ".gov") or by a state government. Sources Every factual statement should have a published source. The source should be in the form of a text document and available on the Web. Videos, podcasts, and interviews that you conduct yourself are not suitable for this assignment. Every statement of your opinion will be strengthened if you can find an expert authority who has made a similar statement and use that expert as a source, too. The more sources that are used to support your points, the stronger the paper. All sources should be as recent as possible to eliminate the possibility that the facts have changed since publication. The following are not suitable as cited sources: Wikipedia articles; textbooks of any kind, in any course; corporate profiles. The Outline Below is the outline for Sample Paper #1. It shows main points that will be used in the first half of the paper, concerning the problem, and it shows the main points that will be used in the second half, concerning the solution. (It was prepared in Spring 2010, when the sources had been published recently.) Following each main point, include in parentheses the citation's number in the citation list. The outline should be simple: only two levels (identify by using roman numerals for the top level and capital letters for subpoints; you won't be able to indent the second level in the web form). Each entry should be brief I. Introduction II. Problem: sugary soda drinks contribute to nation's obesity epidemic A. Sugar consumption up (2) B. Children consume increased amounts of sugar (2) C. Inexpensive soda consumed especially in low-income areas (3) D: Counterargument: sodas not directly linked to obesity (1) III. Proposed solution: penny-per-ounce federal tax on sugared sodas A. Proposed in New York state (3) B. Would lower consumption (2) C. Would generate revenue (1) D. Counterarguments: new kind of tax and regressive(1)(2) E.Soda tax would be similar to tobacco tax (1) IV. Conclusion CITATIONS 1. "Is Soda the New Tobacco?" The New York Times. 13 February 2010. 2. "A Tax to Combat America's Sugary Diet." The New York Times. 3. "Health Official Willing to Go to the Mat Over Obesity and Sugared Sodas." The New York Times. Below is the essay that is based on this outline. Please note that one, and only one, solution is proposed. Your paper should also have one, and only one, proposed solution. Also please note that the only direct quotations consist of the exact language of experts who were quoted in the original sources. Do not directly quote a journalist who is not a recognized expert. Paraphrase instead. (One exception you'll notice: Jane Brody, a New York Times columnist who has long specialized in health-related journalism and is the author of many respected books in this field, should be treated as an expert.)

CEO Leadership in Addressing Social Issues
The performance of workers is also affected by social issues outside the organization. An
employee dealing with alcohol or drug-related problem can pose a security threat to other
employees and the organization itself. Also, if an employee is going through domestic violence
back in the house can lead to depression and in worse cases violence in the workplace. The aging
number of employees can also be affected by another social factor like health style. The CEOs
have a superior role in ensuring such factors do not affect the employees. From such
understanding, the success of a business is determined by the wellbeing of its workforce.
Therefore, the absence of CEO leadership can lead to increase in negative social issues which
might affect the performance of the employees.
More CEO leadership is required to help in addressing issues which face the average
people in their daily lives. An organization relies on most of the external factors which involve
the society. Addressing such social matters by the CEOs help in solving the most of the
challenges which the company face. The absence of CEO leadership in the society might be
connected to the increase in gun violence in the country. Most of the people involved in such acts
are faced with psychological challenges. According to a research conducted by the Edelman
Trust Barometer, CEOs are taking a speaking about issues like gun control and climatic change

(Sorkin, 1 May, 2018). By increasing such efforts, the government can adopt laws which control
