This is a deceptively DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENT-leave yourself plenty of time to complete. Using the readability site is not difficult but you need to make sure you find the CORRECT reading level. Use the pictures included below to help you. This assignment is much more difficult than it appears for most students. The majority of your grade is based on getting your reading level 6.99 or lower. This often takes many rewrites. The Health Literacy and Patient Safety video above gives good suggestions on how to approach breaking down the information. Make sure you watch the video (it’s a real “eye opener”).

Research Paper: This is a graduate course and students will be expected to research and write papers summarizing in their own words what they have found on current topics from the weekly readings. Research is a theoretical review of relevant literature and application of findings in the literature to a topic related to a specific industry, field, or business problem.
The research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade or academic journals. While Blogs, Wikipedia, encyclopedias, course textbooks, popular magazines, newspaper articles, online websites, etc. are helpful for providing background information, these resources are NOT suitable resources for this research assignment.
In addition, the instructor has provided additional resources, including a research tutorial, in the “Course Resources” folder in the “Content” area of the course.
Assignment Requirements:
Choose a research topic from the chapter readings.
Research/find a minimum at least four (4), preferably five (5) or more, different peer-reviewed articles on your topic from the University of the Cumberlands Library online business database. The article(s) must be relevant and from a peer-reviewed source. While you may use relevant articles from any time frame, current/published within the last five (5) years are preferred. Using literature that is irrelevant or unrelated to the chosen topic will result in a point reduction.
Write a four (4) to five (5) page double spaced paper in APA format discussing the findings on your specific topic in your own words. Note – paper length does not include cover page, abstract, or references page(s).
Structure your paper as follows:
Cover page
Overview describing the importance of the research topic to current business and professional practice in your own words.
Purpose of Research should reflect the potential benefit of the topic to the current business and professional practice and the larger body of research.
Review of the Literature summarized in your own words. Note that this should not be a “copy and paste” of literature content, nor should this section be substantially filled with direct quotes from the article. A literature review is a summary of the major points and findings of each of the selected articles (with appropriate citations). Direct quotations should be used sparingly. Normally, this will be the largest section of your paper (this is not a requirement; just a general observation).
Practical Application of the literature. Describe how your findings from the relevant research literature can shape, inform, and improve current business and professional practice related to your chosen topic.
Conclusion in your own words
References formatted according to APA style requirements

Assigned Readings:
Chapter 7. Business Ethics Essentials
Chapter 8. Managerial and Organizational Ethics
Chapter 9. Business Ethics and Technology
Chapter 10. Ethical Issues in the Global Arena
Overview:
Chapter 7 introduces concepts and background that are essential to understanding business ethics. The authors explore a wide range of topics that combine to form a network within which business decisions are made, how they are made, and how managers develop their abilities to make them. Chapter 8 has two primary purposes: to explore some of the various ways to make judgments about ethical dilemmas. The authors present two approaches to making moral judgments, the principles approach and the ethical tests approach. The second purpose is to discuss how managers can improve their organizations’ moral culture and behavior. Chapter 9 explores the subject of technology and business ethics. Technology is such an integral aspect of our work lives and consumer lives that special treatment of these topics is warranted. The authors first consider what technology means and some of its benefits and challenges. Then, they discuss the subject of ethics and technology and finish the chapter by exploring ethical issues connected with two major components of technology—information technology and biotechnology. Chapter 10 serves a dual purpose. First, it introduces the students to ethical issues in the global marketplace, including two infamous examples that demonstrate some of the difficulties encountered by operating in multiple nations. Second, it offers several takes to improve ethical performance in the global economy, using four different popular strategies.

Content Knowledge
Writing Question
here are the instructions for the essay: Select any painting, print, hanging scroll, folding screen, sculpture, architecture, or ceramics that is relevant to the time period or themes we are covering in this class, according to your own preferences. This is an assignment about looking and writing and requires you to rely on your own visual observations, followed by a brief research. Be sure to have a clear argument/main thesis statement in your paper, which means you need to add in the intro paragraph what you would like to explore through your paper.
Write an essay with a minimum of FOUR (4) typed, 12-pt Times New Roman font, double- spaced pages in length and with one-inch margins. You MUST include the main image and three detailed images with proper caption (artist name, title, date, medium, location) AFTER your text and bibliography. If you are comparing your work of art with some other images (preferably one or two), please include those images with proper caption.
Classify your work of art using the art-historical terminology established in your textbook or in the class. In addition to drawing upon what you have learned from your class, please consult no more than three different written sources as part of your research on this topic. To avoid plagiarism, all students must document research sources properly using footnotes and must include a bibliography.
See The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html) for correct bibliographic format and the correct format for footnotes.
* DO NOT USE RANDOM ONLINE SOURCES except e-journals/scholarly articles found online through “Research Database” on the Simpson library website and trustworthy dictionaries (Britannica, Oxford art online, essays on the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History). Most online sources, such as random blog posts or non-scholarly websites, don’t have authors and contain wrong information. Also, please try to avoid Wikipedia. It’s ok to look at the content from museum websites and cite in a proper way, but please don’t quote or copy the visual analysis. The visual analysis must be your own.
This is not a full research paper, and there is no right or wrong answer. There are, however, right and wrong ways of thinking through the problem. Try to address the following questions, in approximately this order:
Start with an introductory paragraph. Please do not write about your visiting experience since this is NOT a personal essay. You should avoid first-person voice as this is a scholarly paper. Briefly indicate ID (artist, title, date, medium, size, time period, narrative) and your argument (thesis statement).
2. Briefly analyze the style of your painting (visual analysis).
-How would you classify the work stylistically? (e.g. Neolithic period, Ming Dynasty, Edo period, Late Joseon Dynasty)
-How large is it?
-Describe the image such as you are reporting a stolen object:
Figure Style (proportion, clothing, sculpture in round, chiastic pose, hand gestures, facial expression)
Medium (earthenware, fresco, cherrywood, bronze-casting, earthenware, bronze)
Organization of Composition and Space (two-dimensional, three-dimensional, hieratic scale, perspective, isocephalic composition, symmetrical/asymmetrical composition, two stories)
Lines (vertical, diagonal lines)
Color (bright, neutral, muted, subdued, de-saturated, warm, cool)
Light
Texture (draperies)
Movement, Emphasis, Proportion
-Do you think that your artist intends to create an image that is naturalistic, artificial, or ideal?
-To what ‘known’ example would you compare your painting with respect to style? Add one or two comparisons by asking the following questions:
Is the composition, figure, gestures, symbolism, calligraphy similar? Why or why not?
Are similar techniques used to create the work of art (e.g., wet plaster, piece case molding process, hieratic scale, overlapping, etc.)?
What system of modeling is used to render depth of the forms (e.g., intuitive perspective, certain ink techniques, brush techniques, watercolor, sumi)?
3. For what social context or function do you think your painting was made?
– You need to refer to sources to answer this question. To argue your point effectively, you may back up your statement by adding historical facts, events, and other relevant contexts in the sources. You may cite one ‘known’ work of art which performed the same kind of function within a similar social or religious context (e.g., a Buddhist sculpture from a specific period, a work for a patron or emperor, a work for the open market, court paintings, origins in Mahayana Buddhism, Hinduism, or Zen Buddhism).
4. What is the subject (whether narrative or iconic) of the painting?
-How does the subject matter or meaning of your painting relate to its probable social context or function?
-Cite a work of art with similar or the same subject matter, and explain the exact nature of the relationship.
5. Add a nice conclusion. I have already selected my main sculpture that I will be doing this paper on. The main sculpture for the museum paper is: Buddha, probably Amitabha here is the link for this sculpture. It has detailed information about this sculpture that you can use for the essay. Link: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/42163For comparison I will only compare the main sculpture to one of the similar sculpture from japan. The sculpture is: Amida, the buddha of infinite light(Amitabha. Here is the link for this sculpture:https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/44890
