For this assignment, you will write an Annotated Bibliography which will consist of citations and annotations of three articles related to a topic you will choose. To complete this assignment, follow the steps below.

Step 1: (Due November , 2020) completed

For the Annotated Bibliography Assignment I choose to write about the Great Depression that lasted from 1929 to 1940 in the US. I would like to write about the decline in consumer demand being that is was one of the most significant events.

Step 2: (Due November , 2020) The grade for this step will go towards your attendance grade. Create an APA formatted list of articles that you would like to use for your final Annotated Bibliography. The articles must come from scholarly journals—NO websites, NO Wikipedia, NO Book Reviews. If you wonder if an article is acceptable, you can ask me about the article either through Blackboard Messenger or email. To complete this step, submit the APA formatted list of citations of each of the articles online drop box in the Week 12 Folder. When I grade these lists, I will indicate incorrect APA format and indicate which sources are not approved sources. The use of unapproved sources in the final Annotated Bibliography will risk it in receiving a lower grade.

Step 3: (Due November, 2020) Submit your annotated bibliography. The annotate bibliography should include an APA style cover page and three pages. Each of the three pages should consist of the citation and annotation of one of the three articles you have chosen. At the top of each page, will be the APA article citation. Beneath the citation, you will write three paragraphs on each article. Each paragraph for each article should contain the following:

Paragraph 1: The first paragraph should sum up the main idea that the author of the article is discussing in the article. Answer these questions in the first paragraph: What question (or questions) is the author trying to answer? What claims does the author make about the research or paper he/she is writing? Does the author mention any other research or writings on the topic he/she is investigating? If so, who are the authors and what research did they write about?

Paragraph 2: The second paragraph should sum up the evidence the author makes to support his/her claims. Answer the following questions in the second paragraph: How does the author back up his/her claims? Does he/she use mathematical calculations or an investigation into the research of other articles? Does the author provide believable evidence? Is there anything you wish the author would have added to his/her research or is it sufficiently researched?

Paragraph 3: The third paragraph should explain how you would use the article in a paper you would write in the future. Answer the following questions in the second paragraph: Do you agree or disagree with the author’s claims? Is there a particular quote the author made that you would want to use? If so, what is that quote? How useful is the article to a paper you would write? Why do you consider it useful or not useful?

A PowerPoint that discusses detailed information on how to write an annotated bibliography will be provided in the Week 12 folder.

Under “RESEARCH PAPER SUMMARY” you will see the guidelines for this essay. I already completed the “preparation part”. Your job is to complete the “writing part”. The instructions for this part are from page 3-4. I highlighted with yellow what you have to complete. The format of this essay is composed of four parts.

1.) Chapter 1- Introduction.

4.) References

Under “Research Paper Example” is what your final work should look like so you can go by this example if you need help.

The “Proposal Assignment” and “Reference and Outline” are two assignments that I have turned in for this essay assignment. You can use any of this two assignments to help you with the essay but you don’t have to go by this two articles if you don’t want.

I will upload the five articles in pdf that you will use for this essay.

Purpose: In the first assignment, you have the opportunity to see how ethics can play out in a real-world scenario. You will read the case scenario and answers the questions in a narrative format. Use headings for each question. Headings are not the question. You are required to use the course material to support your reasoning and the conclusions made. Outcomes met by completing this project: 1. identify ethical issues that arise in domestic and global business environments using an understanding of ethical concepts and of legal and business principles Case Scenario: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic required Americans to shelter in place thus causing the U.S. economy to freeze-up, resulting in millions of lost jobs. The U.S. Congress passed legislation to try and limit the economic damage. Included in the legislation was a stimulus package that would give $1,200 to single tax filers making $75,000 or less and $2,400 to married couples making $150,000 or less. The purpose of the payment was to give people emergency funds and to stimulate the economy. Also included was the CARES Act that provided the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP was a program administered by the Small Business Administration that was targeted at small business. It provided for a government loan that was forgivable if used to pay employees’ salaries and benefits, mortgages, rent, and utilities. According to the SBA website, “[t]he Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.” USAA is a member-owned organization that provided insurance and financial services exclusively to current and former members of the military as well as their family members. USAA has an excellent reputation as a well-run organization and for giving its members good service. Many USAA members maintain checking accounts with it. Some of those members who have checking accounts had overdrawn their balances and had a negative balance in their accounts. When the $1,200 or $2,400 stimulus check were deposited, USAA used those amounts to offset the negative balances in some of its members’ accounts. Members were not informed in advance that this would be the case. This resulted in some USAA members not having any access to the stimulus money. The action USAA took in crediting the funds to existing account deficits was perfectly legal. Shake Shack is a corporation that owns and licenses restaurants selling traditional American fare like hamburgers and milk shakes. It currently operates 124 locations in the U.S. and overseas. As of May 4, 2020, the company had a market capitalization of $2.06 billion. The company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2019, Shake Shack’s CEO received $2.3 million in compensation. Shake Shack applied for and received a loan of $10 million under PPP. The loan was permissible under a provision in PPP the allows restaurant chains to apply when each location has fewer than 500 employees. Shortly after Shake Shack received the loan, the PPP ran out of funds and many small businesses did not receive loans. Small Business Administration.

The final product will be between 4-6 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. Write clearly and concisely. Create a title page with a title, the course number and section, the instructor’s name and your name. Instructions: Course Material For this project, you are required to use the case scenario facts and the course material. External sources are not permitted. You are not researching on the Internet or using resources from outside the course. You are expected to answer the requirements identified below showing the connection between the case scenario facts and the course material. Using course material goes beyond defining terms and are used to explain the ‘why and how’ of a situation. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally showing an understanding of the logical connections between the ideas presented in a case scenario, the course material and the question(s) being asked. Using one or two in-text citations from the course material throughout the entire paper will not earn many points on an assignment. The use of a variety of course material is expected consistently supporting what is presented. The support must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Points are not earned for mentioning a term or concept but by clearly and thoroughly explaining or discussing the question at hand. NOTE: If external sources are used, what is presented will not count and a penalty for following instruction will apply. Project Requirements Introduction Write an Introduction paragraph.The Introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and will be used to describe to the reader the intent of the paper explaining the main points covered in the paper. This intent should be understood prior to reading the remainder of the paper so the reader knows exactly what is being covered in the paper. Consider writing the introduction last to ensure that all of the main points are covered. Ethical Issue(s) Identify and discuss the ethical issue(s) related to USAA and Shake Shack Stakeholders Implications Identify the stakeholders involved in the actions of both companies. Discuss the potential implications of the company’s actions on each stakeholder or stakeholder group. Give examples. Kantian Viewpoint Explain how Kant would view the actions of both USAA and Shake Shack. Utilitarianism Viewpoint Explain how a utilitarian would view USAA and Shake Shack’s actions. Recommended Actions Regardless of what these companies actually did, recommend the actions that you think they ethically should take. There is no right or wrong action, but rather it is about supporting the actions you choose from your ethical arguments. Conclusion Write a concluding paragraph that is brief and summarizes the main points. Provide specific information related to the major topics discussed in the paper.
