MBA 3008 Sofia University Organizational Impact Research and Application Paper Writing Assignment Help

I’m working on a literature discussion question and need support to help me study.

Inference to the Best Explanation

One of the most common inferences in life is the inference to the best explanation (sometimes called abductive reasoning). We use this type of reasoning to infer what would best explain the things that we see. Chapter 6 in our book demonstrates ways in which this type of reasoning helps us to explain the world around us.

Prepare: Review Section 6.5 of the course text on Inferences to the Best Explanation. Choose a topic that is difficult or controversial to explain. Some good topics include hoaxes, unusual sightings (e.g. UFOs, bigfoot, etc.), the supernatural or paranormal (ghosts, levitation, etc.), conspiracy theories, unsolved crimes, court cases, etc.

Reflect: Do a little research to find a specific topic and learn about explanations on both sides. Consider what you think might best explain the observed facts of the case.

Write: Explain the topic you chose and why it is interesting or controversial. Present good arguments on more than one side of the issue (e.g. competing explanations of the facts). Analyze both arguments that you have presented. Then present your own argument for your theory that you feel will best explain this phenomenon. Are there any holes in your theory? Is there any information that would be likely to strengthen or weaken your case?

Overview: It is not uncommon for health professionals to testify on policies in front of committees or policymaking bodies, like the United States Senate. In order to participate in this type of advocacy, you must be able to speak for vulnerable populations by demonstrating your understanding of population needs and how policy measures can help or further harm a situation. You must also be able to make recommendations for developing, revising, or eliminating policy.

Prompt: In this assignment, you will evaluate the efficacy of the policy you analyzed and propose recommendations for or against the policy. Concentrate on how to improve the chosen policy in order to limit negative impact to the target population or other populations while increasing the positive impact. Take a stand on the policy and advocate for or against it; make sure to support your position with research. When thinking about your recommendations, think about how the policy affects the population’s well-being and health. How could you decrease inequalities and improve health outcomes by modifying the policy?

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

III. Recommendations

A. Evaluate the efficacy of the policy in addressing population needs without negatively impacting the target population or other populations.

B. Justify key areas of improvement that could better the policy, supported with evidence.

C. Recommend an appropriate policy improvement supported by your research.

D. Advocate for or against the policy in a concise, supported statement.

Rubric
