What is the purpose of theory and how does this differ from a conjecture or opinion? Compare scientific inquiry with naive inquiry (conjecture or opinion) commenting particularly on the differences in the quality of data collection and analysis, the way conclusions are drawn, and the precision of theory. Be sure to draw upon the assigned readings and other authoritative sources in providing support for your response, and to adhere to APA format in your post.
Conduct a search for one theoretical article and one research article, ideally related to your proposed research topic (Leadership), or more broadly to an area within your specialization.
Based on your developing understanding of the philosophic traditions—positivism, interpretivism, constructivism, critical inquiry and postmodernism— and their underlying assumptions related to ontology, epistemology, and axiology, analyze each article and determine which tradition most likely influenced the author’s work in the two articles you found.

Chronic Illness
[Pin It]
In a five-page essay, you will explore the mind–body connection in chronic illness. In your paper, you will address the following issues:
What impact does chronic illness have on an individual and their families? According to your textbook, why are addictions considered a chronic illness?
How do you preserve relationships during and after treatment of a substance use disorder, since it is a chronic illness? Describe the long-term treatment process for the substance user and the support systems needed to remain on the spiritual journey of recovery
When interpreting historical data, why is it important to look at both external and internal evidence? Cite a case of a historical event that has been interpreted differently either by two sources at the time of the event or by common opinion in different eras.
Discuss how external and internal evidence influenced these interpretations.
Legitimate Use of Race/Ethnicity in Establishing a Criminal Profile
Discuss profiling as a legal tool of law enforcement. When might it be acceptable or even necessary to use race in forming a profile of a criminal or criminal activity?
Give specific examples
Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region.
Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area.
For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes:
Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity.
Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores.
Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures.
Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity.
Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity.
Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity.
Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity.
Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies.
Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs.
Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:
Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted.
Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution.
List any species that have become extinct in this biome.
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.
Write your initial response in approximately 300–350 words.

Assignment 2: Weekly Assignment—Criminal Justice Arguments
Several players interact with each other in the courtroom. Of those players, we see two profiles often in popular media: criminal defense lawyers and the prosecution. Both are responsible for taking a case from its preliminary phases to trial and beyond. Both gather evidence, interview witnesses, and develop possible arguments for their cases. Both are responsible for presenting the best outcome, whether they believe in the reasoning or not. In this assignment, you will have the experience of developing an argument for a criminal case.
Activity Details
Step 1: Identify a criminal case that you feel passionately about. Find an article related to a criminal case in the Argosy University online library to use in the summary.
Complete the following tasks.
Write a one-page summary of the case. The summary should include:
The alleged crime that occurred
The elements of the crime
The evidence presented in the case
The possible defenses
Step 2: Write a one-page argument for the defendant as if you were the defense attorney on the case. In your argument:
Address the jury by introducing yourself and the client named in the case.
Highlight the strengths of the case by telling the jury your client’s side.
Personalize the case by telling the jury about your client.
Acknowledge the weaknesses that the other side will point out.
Discuss any defenses you may use during the case.
Request an outcome from the jury, which is normally a not-guilty verdict for the defendant.
Step 3: Write a one-page argument as if you were the prosecutor on the case. In your argument:
Address the jury by introducing yourself and the state you represent.
Highlight the strengths of the case by telling the jury why the defendant is guilty.
Personalize the case by describing the aftermath of the crime, the victims, and the harm caused to society because of the crime.
Acknowledge the weaknesses that the other side will point out.
Request an outcome from the jury, which is normally a guilty verdict for the defendant.
Step 4: Conduct an internet search of government and career sites (e.g. bls.gov, jobs.com, monster.com, etc) to locate recent information on the career prospects for Defense Attorneys/Prosecutors in your geographic location. Present your findings, including related job titles, potential employers, a summary of this job function, the education and experience required to qualify for this position, and the average salary one could expect to earn.
Step 5: Save and submit the assignment.
Submission Details:
Save your document as M2_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc.
By Week 2, Day 7, submit your final document to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
