* THIS IS FROM A BUSINESS ETHICS CLASS*

From 'Acknowledging the Rot' by Eric Alterman, in The Nation, 4/11 Dec. 2017, p. 6:

With the recent accusations of child molestation against Alabama Republican senatorial candidate Roy Moore, the network's [i.e. Fox News'] top-tier 'talent'—Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham—have all questioned the veracity of the Washington Post report, which cited four on-the-record victims and more than 30 sources, and then changed the subject to the sins of either Harvey Weinstein or Bill Clinton. The Fox News anchors might as well have been taking their orders directly from Breitbart impresario Steve Bannon. Six advertisers abandoned Hannity after his defense of Moore, perhaps leading him to rethink his public position on Moore's 'consensual' sex life. Still, Hannity happily cheered on a campaign by his acolytes to attack and destroy Keurig coffee machines, following the withdrawal of the company's advertising from his show. All of this demonstrates the fact that Murdoch [CEO of Fox News] has decided to throw in with the crazies, perverts, and Nazi sympathizers who populate Trump's base, with no limits as to how low he will go. And, lo and behold, it works. During this period, Fox News secured its prime-time ratings lead over MSNBC, with Hannity handily beating Rachel Maddow, whose numbers had surpassed Fox's for three months in a row.

From this passage, reconstruct an argument concerning Murdoch in premise-conclusion form. There's also a fallacy here; bonus will be awarded for correctly naming it.

Your brother just instant messaged you at 4:00 in the morning (you were studying for a test, so you were fully alert). He says he just got a call from his daughter's friend who told him that his 14-year-old daughter (Denise) was really drunk and was being driven home from the beach by another friend. Apparently several friends were on the beach drinking all night and your brother didn't even know his daughter had left the house.

1.Explain to your brother about the changes going on in his daughter; physically, emotionally and socially.

2.Offer him advice on how to handle the situation when she gets home in a few minutes. Apply (and explain) the principles of good parenting.

The world in which we live today would have been considered “Science Fiction” just fifty to sixty years ago. Write an expository essay* discussing the difficulties a TIME TRAVELER from 1950 might have adapting to the world as we know it today. Discuss how our lives differ from the traveler’s world. Choose a few modern technologies that our traveler would not understand, as well as technology from his/her time that has not changed all that much.

In your paper, discuss how your life would be affected if you woke up in the morning and found that you had been transported into the 1950’s. Be specific! I suggest that you discuss the 1950’s with an older person such as a grandparent.
