 PowerPoint Presentation

Utilizing the information you compiled for your literature review paper, and the feedback you received from your instructor about the literature review, prepare a 10-15 minute Power Point presentation on your topic, summarizing the key points and conclusions. Be sure to direct this presentation to an audience in the community. For example, if your paper pertained to a topic in developmental psychology, direct your presentation toward parents, or a parenting center. If your topic pertained to substance abuse, direct it toward a community service agency which may use this information for educating teens or parents about preventing drug use, or current clients about treatments and facilities available. Please state in your presentation the specific audience toward whom your presentation is aimed. Include a reference page in APA format, as well as speaker notes and an audio file with your presentation.

Your slides should provide answers to the following questions: 

• What was your topic?
• What question did you hope to answer by completing this literature review paper? Explain the practical implications of the conclusions of the literature review and the audience to which they are directed.
• Given the results of your literature review, what is/are the prevailing argument(s)? In other words, which of those is supported by the existing evidence? Be sure to include full coverage of the arguments, including strengths and weaknesses of each of them, supported by your findings from reviewing the relevant articles.
• Did the researchers consider multicultural factors in their studies? If not, what factors may be involved? What multicultural factors should future studies include?
• What ethical issues are related to your topic and/or discussed in the studies you reviewed?
• How do the conclusions of your literature review relate to the various specialization areas in psychology? Tie them to as many as apply from the following areas: biological, cognitive, developmental, social, personality theory, psychopathology, and applied psychology.
• How can the conclusions of your literature review inform the population towards whom your presentation is directed? How can they apply this information to their daily lives? What advice or ‘take home message’ can you provide to your audience based on the research you reviewed?
• What research question could you ask in order to further develop this area of study?
• Why is your research question important and relevant to the current work being done on your topic?

Your presentation should also follow these guidelines:

• It should be approximately 10-15 minutes in length.
• It should be clear, concise, and professional.  Writing should be free of spelling and grammatical errors; it should conform to current APA style (including any in-text citations).
• It should include graphs, tables, figures, or images illustrating your ideas.
• There should be a final slide listing references in current APA style.
• The bulk of the text should be placed in the Notes pages of each slide. Keep the amount of text on the slide, itself, to a minimum.
• You should record an audio file of your oral presentation. You should also type the text of the speech you would give while showing these slides to an audience should be typed into the Notes area.  If you are unable to use the audio feature, the Notes text will suffice.
• You can refer to the Power Point tips document provided in the Doc Sharing section of the course.

Assignment 1: Discussion—The Ethical Business Process

If an organization wants to take ethics seriously, it needs to identify values to which it wishes to be committed and held accountable. Then, the organization needs to translate those values into clearly stated business practices for all employees on how to act responsibly in different circumstances.

Thinking ethically and voicing values are important aspects of moral decision making.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following questions. You can use a numbered list to describe and justify the principles relating to each step in the process.

• Which key elements should leaders consider in developing business practices that reflect an ethical organization? Justify your responses.
• Why are these elements important?
• In what situations would certain elements become more important than others?
• What principles are central to the process you are proposing? For example, you can number it as 1-2-3 and provide some discussion and justifications for the steps in each aspect:
  1. Set the bar.
  2. Motivate ethical standards.
  3. Provide training.
• Apply at least one ethical theory in your recommendation.

By Week 2, Day 3, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Week 2, Day 5, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Assignment 2: Corporate Social Responsibility

An organization’s core ethical values and standards should underpin everyday business operations. How an organization approaches the social and environmental issues impacts its business operations. Its voluntary contribution to the wellbeing of the global and local communities in which it operates is often known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR); it is about “doing ethical things.”

Review the most recent annual report for any public company of interest to you. Using this material, the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a paper on the company’s disclosures regarding corporate ethical or social responsibility.

Be sure to address the following in the paper:

• Evaluate both the disclosure and the actions of the company in these areas. Is the disclosure appropriate and informative?
• Explain whether the company has violated certain ethical business behaviors.
• What do you infer about the corporate culture of the company?
• Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Does the company have a statement of belief for corporate social responsibility (CSR)? If so, summarize their position. Do their business practices exemplify their position on CSR?
  • If the company does not have a statement-of-belief for CSR, then using the information disclosed (such as business practices, mission, or vision statement), summarize their social or community values based upon their initiatives. The following are some examples of initiatives:
    • Do they avoid or engage in animal testing for the products?
    • Do they offer services to underserved populations?
    • Do they support hunger task initiatives or volunteer for social programs, such as the United Way?
    • Are they engaged in social justice issues?
  • Based upon your assessment of the information you find, what are some implications of their beliefs?
• Which ethical theories seem relevant to the company’s practices and why?
• Present broad-level suggestions to improve decision-making processes and ethical policies in this company.

Provide adequate rationale for your answers.

Write a 3page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc.
