In the first part of your initial post, you will need to introduce the Perdue case within the particular subject heading that you have chosen. In this introduction,
you will also need to (1) articulate the relevant characteristics of our mixed economic system and (2) present the regulations for the factory farming industry. These
will provide the setting for you to be able to examine how the nation’s laws affect its operations.
In the second part of your initial post, present your analysis of the problem in a way that identifies which entities (Perdue as a corporation, the economic system in
the USA, the regulatory control of the state, or all of these) have a role in the problem that you have presented. In your analysis, you must assess the negative
effects of the interplay between business activity and one of the following: the environment, advertising, consumer safety, or corporate social responsibility. Your
focus must be an ethical analysis of this interplay, and it must be well supported by reliable and/or scholarly sources by clearly identifying the ethical theory that
you are applying in your analysis.
Revise: Read the feedback provided by your professor to your initial post, either directly to you or to your fellow students. Use this as an opportunity to learn from
your professor, especially with regard to the best ways to apply the course material and your research to your analysis. On the basis of what you have learned in this
process, post an improved revision of your initial post that applies the additional knowledge that you have gained.
Remember that your grade depends on the quality of your initial and revised responses, not just on the submission of an attempt at improvement. It is thus to your
advantage to post the best initial post you can and then to also improve that best effort as much as you can through revision. Taking this process seriously will help
you develop the skills you need to do well on the Final Project.
Requirements for Your Initial Post:
Your initial post should be at least 400 words in length and have citations and references in APA notation. It should address the prompt in its entirety. This means
that you should not split your response to the prompt in multiple posts. 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.
Please be advised that until you post, you will not see what your fellow students are posting. Once you submit your post, you will be able to view the posts from your
other classmates. You can then proceed to reply to at least two different threads based on the required material for this discussion.
Your list of references for your initial post should include the videos and the other required reading material for this discussion, the Instructor Guidance, and any
other announcements presented to you by your professor. List all the course material that informed your work in the list of references and cite these too where
appropriate. In addition, your references should include any other sources that you consult to inform yourself (but not Wikipedia or similar sources).
Your initial post for this discussion should be submitted no later than the end of Thursday (11:59 pm, U.S. Mountain time).
