Your assignment this week is to locate a relevant, appropriate journal article for your critique. The journal article critique focuses on peer-reviewed, empirical journal articles. Your journal article critique must focus on one of the theories of personality covered in this course (I encourage you to browse ahead in the course to overview all the various theories of personality that we will cover).

Utilize the UMUC library (www.umuc.edu) to locate a peer-reviewed, empirical journal article; you must select an article from a scholarly journal. Articles must meet the following criteria:

Primary research – Articles should report the results of an original research study (no meta-analyses, summaries, editorials or theoretical articles).

Refereed – Articles must come from peer-reviewed journals; you may not use articles from blogs, popular press books, magazines, textbooks or non-academic publications.

Personality focus – Articles must examine one of the theories or measures of personality covered in our course.

Jobs' announcement was an example of the intelligent use of trade shows and Apple's experience with generating press coverage and buzz about new products through them. The iPhone could be described as a combination of Apple’s popular iPod music player and a smart phone designed to surf the Web. Its highly-touted feature is a 3.5-inch, touch-sensitive screen that consumers use to make calls, navigate their music collection, and write messages on a virtual onscreen keyboard (Wingfield and Yuan, 2007). All of these benefits and features of the iPhone come for a price though; the initial price of the 4GB model was $499 and the 8GB model cost $599. Aimed at the high-end, tech-savvy consumer, who is often a business user, the iPhone is marketed to a sizable, fast-growing market.

(a) Describe the THREE (3) levels of products for Apple smartphone (iPhone) design?

(b) List and explain FOUR (4) types of Consumer Products Classification. Classify the Apple smartphone (iPhone) belongs to which category?

Find the following values, using the equations, and then work the problems using a financial calculator to check your answers. Disregard rounding differences. (Hint: If you are using a financial calculator, you can enter the known values and then press the appropriate key to find the unknown variable. Then, without clearing the TVM register, you can "override" the variable that changes by simply entering a new value for it and then pressing the key for the unknown variable to obtain the second answer. This procedure can be used in parts b and d, and in many other situations, to see how changes in input variables affect the output variable.)

Assignment Description

Write out a program that will ask the user for their name; the length and width of a rectangle; and the length of a square. The program will then output the input name; the area and perimeter of a rectangle with the dimensions they input; and the area and perimeter of a square with the length they input.

Tasks

1. The program needs to contain the following
   1. A comment header containing your name and a brief description of the program
   2. Output prompting the user for the following inputs:
      1. Name as a string
      2. Length of a rectangle as a double
      3. Width of a rectangle as a double
      4. Length of a square as an int
   3. After accepting user input, the program outputs the following:
      1. User name
      2. Area of a rectangle with dimensions matching the inputs
         • Area of a rectangle = Length * Width
      3. Perimeter of a rectangle with dimensions matching the inputs
         • Perimeter of a rectangle = (2 * length) + (2 * Width)
      4. Area of a square with dimensions matching the inputs
         • Area of a square = Length * Length
      5. Perimeter of a square with dimensions matching the inputs
         • Area of a square = 4 * length
   4. “Press enter to continue”
   5. Console.Read(); at the end of your code

Follow these steps to implement the following browser-based puzzle game:(Javascript/html/css)
1. Get a photo of yourself and save it as an image file
2. Use a image-splitting program such as splitter.imageonline.co to break the image into 9 roughly equal parts (3 x 3). Save those files in a directory
3. Write Javascript that takes these nine images and randomly rearranges them in a 3 x 3 grid.
4. Each cell in the grid will also have a checkbox.
5. At each turn, the user will click two checkboxes, press a Swap button, and the program will swap the two images that were checked.
6. Play continues until all the sub-images are in their correct positions.
7. The program will state how many turns (swaps) it took to solve the puzzle.
8. Use CSS to make your puzzle game aesthetically (stylistically) pleasing
9. Upload your game (and the photo pieces) to your website.
10. Provide the URL of your puzzle game where it can be tested.

Use Python to write the following code.

Program Specifications:

You are to design the following menu:

G] Get a number

S] Display current sum

A] Display current average

H] Display the current highest number

L] Display the current lowest number

D] Display all numbers entered

Q] Quit

If the user enters G, S, A, H, L, or D before selecting G the program needs to advise the user to go and enter a number first.

Rules for the Programmer (you)

1. Source code must use a dynamic list to store all numbers
2. Source code must have a function for each of the menu options above (I guess even for quit too]
3. Source code must have reasonable comments
4. Source code must not allow the user to do bad things (you can assume they will enter a number if they press G or if you want to figure it out, yell at the user if he or she does not enter a number)

One theme in this module is the perceived tension between free exercise of religion (guaranteed under the 1st amendment to the Constitution) and equal protection under the law (guaranteed by the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution).

Excerpt from 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Excerpt from Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

In short, which is more at risk: freedom of religion OR equality of all people under the law? Explain your answer.

Moral Dilemma
A moral dilemma involves a situation in which the agent has only two courses of action available, and each requires performing a morally impermissible action.. Plato presents the classic example of a moral dilemma. A man borrows a weapon from his neighbor promising to return it at his neighbors request. One day the neighbor in a fit of rage, asks for the weapon back apparently with the intention to kill someone. The man is faced with a dilemma: if he keeps his promise, then he will be an accessory to a murder if he refuses to hand over the weapon, than he violates his promise. A moral dilemma, then, is a situation, involving a choice between two opposing courses of action, where there are moral considerations in support of each course of action. Few would doubt whether we are in fact faced with difficult moral choices. The question raised by philosophers, though, is whether such dilemmas can be systematically resolved, or whether no systematic solution is available.

The most commonly suggested method of resolving conflicts between obligations is to appeal to the highest intrinsic good. A thing is intrinsically good when it is valued for itself and not merely as an instrument or means to some further end. Money is instrumentally good since it only provides a means to some further good, such as the purchase of a sports car. Music, on the other hand, is thought to be intrinsically good since it is valued for itself and not as a means to something else. Moral philosophers are concerned with uncovering the highest intrinsic good - that which is at the apex of everything that is valued. Human happiness is a common candidate for the highest intrinsic good since everyone strives for happiness, and happiness appears to be the final goal of all our actions. Other nominees for the highest intrinsic good are pleasure, human rationality, God’s will, free human choice, and highly evolved conduct.

Theoretically, if we can determine that pleasure, for example, is the highest intrinsic good, then conflicts between moral obligations would be resolved by determining which course of action produces the most pleasure. Similarly, if God’s will is determined to be the highest intrinsic good, priority would be given to those actions which are most in accord with God’s will. Thus, by locating the highest intrinsic good, moral dilemmas are resolved by appealing to that concept.

Assignment
The following is a list of some moral dilemmas, mostly adapted from Moral Reasoning, by Victor Grassian (Prentice Hall, 1981, 1992). Read each situation carefully.

You are to respond to the following directions for FOUR (4) of the eight dilemmas presented.

• Describe the decision that you would make in the situation and explain. Why.
• Identify the moral theory/ethic (such as “I would follow my conscience,” “I would do what God or the scriptures say is right,” “I would follow the advice of an authority,” etc.) on which you based your decision and explains how it applies to this situation.
• At the conclusion of responding to four of the moral dilemmas, write a final paragraph in which you compare the moral values you presented in your answers. State whether your answers consistently used the same theories/ethics or greatly varied. Based on your analysis of your moral values presented above, describe your general conclusions about your own “moral compass.”
*You should have a total of five (5) paragraphs; each one should be between 4-8 sentences. Grammar and format count.




1. The Overcrowded Lifeboat
In 1842, a ship struck an iceberg and more than 30 survivors were crowded into a lifeboat intended to hold 7. As a storm threatened, it became obvious that the lifeboat would have to be lightened if anyone were to survive. The captain reasoned that the right thing to do in this situation was to force some individuals to go over the side and drown. Such an action, he reasoned, was not unjust to those thrown overboard, for they would have drowned anyway. If he did nothing, however, he would be responsible for the deaths of those whom he could have saved. Some people opposed the captain’s decision. They claimed that if nothing were done and everyone died as a result, no one would be responsible for these deaths. On the other hand, if the captain attempted to save some; he could do so only by killing others and their deaths would be his responsibility; this would be worse than doing nothing and letting all die. The captain rejected this reasoning, since the only possibility for rescue required great effort of rowing, the captain decided that the weakest would have to be sacrificed.. In this situation it would be absurd, he thought, to decide by drawing lots who should be thrown overboard. As it turned out, after days of hard rowing, the survivors were rescued and the captain was tried for his action. If you had been on the jury, how would you have decided?

2. A Father’s Agonizing Choice
You are an inmate in a concentration camp. A sadistic guard is about to hang your son who tried to escape and wants you to pull the chair from underneath him. He says that if you don’t he will not only kill your son but some other innocent inmate as well. You don’t have any doubt that he means what he says. What should you do?

3. Sophie’s Choice
In the novel Sophie’s Choice, by William Styron (Vintage Books, 1976 — the 1982 movie starred Meryl Steep & Kevin Kline), a Polish woman, Sophie Zawistowska, is arrested by the Nazis and sent to the Auschwitz death camp. On arrival, she is “honored” for not being a Jew by being allowed a choice: One of her children will be spared the gas chamber if she chooses which one. In an agony of indecision, as both children are being taken away, she suddenly does choose. They can take her daughter, who is younger and smaller. Sophie hopes that her older and stronger son will be better able to survive, but she loses track of him and never does learn of his fate. Did she do the right thing? Years later, haunted by the guilt of having chosen between her children, Sophie commits suicide. Should she have felt guilty?

4. The Fat Man and the Impending Doom
A fat man leading a group of people out of a cave on a coast is stuck in the mouth of that cave. In a short time high tide will be upon them, and unless he is unstuck, they will all be drowned except the fat man, whose head is out of the cave. [But, fortunately, or unfortunately, someone has with him a stick of dynamite.] There seems no way to get the man loose without using [that] dynamite which will inevitably kill him; but if they do not use it everyone will drown. What should they do?

5. A Callous Passerby
Roger Smith, a quite competent swimmer, is out for a leisurely stroll. During the course of his walk he passes by a deserted pier from which a teenage boy who apparently cannot swim has fallen into the water. The boy s screaming for help Smith recognizes that there is absolutely no danger to himself if he jumps into save the boy-he could easily succeed if he tried. Nevertheless, he chooses to ignore the boy’s cries. The water is cold and he is afraid of catching a cold — he doesn’t want to get his good clothes wet either. “Why should I inconvenience myself for this kid,” Smith says to himself and passes on. Does - Smith have a moral obligation to save the boy? If so, should he have a legal obligation [“Good Samaritan” laws] as well?


6. A Poisonous Cup of Coffee
Tom, hating his wife and wanting her dead, puts poison in her coffee, thereby killing her. Joe also hates his wife and would like her dead. One day, Joe’s wife accidentally puts poison in her coffee, thinking it’s cream. Joe has the antidote, but he does not give it to her. Knowing that he is the only one who can save her, he lets her die. Is Joe’s failure to act as bad as Tom’s action?

7. The Torture of the Mad Bomber
A madman who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been apprehended. Unfortunately, he has already planted the bombs and they are scheduled to go off in a short time. It is possible that hundreds of people may die. The authorities cannot make him divulge the location of the bombs by conventional methods. He refuses to say anything and requests a lawyer to protect his 5th amendment right against self-incrimination. In exasperation, some high level official suggests torture. This would be illegal, of course, but the official thinks that it is nevertheless the right thing to do this desperate situation. Do you agree? If you do, would it also be morally justifiable to torture the mad bomber’s innocent wife if that is the only way to make him talk? Why?

8. The Partiality of Friendship
Jim has the responsibility of filling a position in his firm. His friend Paul has applied and is qualified, but someone else seems even more qualified. Jim wants to give the job to Paul, but he feels guilty, believing that be ought to be impartial. That’s the essence of morality, he initially tells himself. This belief is, however, rejected, as Jim resolves that friendship has a moral importance that permits, and perhaps even requires, partiality in, some circumstances. So he gives the job to Paul. Was he right?
