Ethical Dilemmas Order Description Ethical considerations are increasingly important in the practice of marketing research. For the first week, you will consider six ethical dilemmas confronting marketing research practitioners. In this unit's study, you read Case 1-3, Ethical Dilemmas in Marketing Research, from page 28 in your Marketing Research text. For this assignment, review the case, paying particular attention to the situation and identified issues. Based on what you have learned from your reading in this unit and from your review of the case, prepare a report 2–4 pages long in which you do the following: •Determine key criteria for evaluating ethical situations. •Evaluate the key ethical dilemma in each scenario. •Develop recommendations related to improving ethical research and reporting. •Include justification that supports the recommended process or approach. Make sure to identify each scenario as a separate section of your paper. Books Aaker, D. A., Kumar, V., Leone, R. P., & Day, G. S. (2013). Marketing research (11th ed.). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley.

Interview a parent who has a child with ADHD/Statistics OPTM 310 hw2 Unlike your research review, these can be theoretical or review articles; you are not limited to empirical journal articles. If you are interviewing an individual who is connected to the disability area you addressed in your research review, you may use those articles to integrate into the interview paper. Use APA citation style in your paper. Your analysis (i.e., your paper) should include three basic sections: summary, integration of research, reflection and conclusion. The summary should give a thorough idea of what you heard in your interview, the integration of research is where you draw comparisons with the literature, and your final reflection and conclusion section should bring in your own thoughts and responses. Proceed with the interview: 1. Ask background information to begin. How old, where goes to school, who friends are, what likes to do best. 2. Now can you tell me about DISABILITY. What does that mean? (or How would you know if someone had it?) a. How old were you when it started? b. Does it bother you? If so, when? c. What kinds of things do you think are harder for you because of DISABILITY? Explore: i. How about at home? (siblings, parents) ii. What about at school? iii. Other (sports, playing, job) d. Do you get any help for your DISABILITY? Explore: i. School services ii. Doctors or therapists iii. Medications iv. What is the most helpful thing people can do? 3. What do you want to do when you grow up? How do you think your DISABILITY will affect that? 4. What do you wish people understood about DISABILITY? 5. What else should I know? For Parents. Modify the questions to ask about “your child” instead of “you.” Ask about parents’ understanding of disability and also about child’s. For example, When did you first find out? AND When did your child first find out? (or Does you child know that he or she has…).

Lab 2 Project description This technique is called Rough Lift." It is very difficult to lift latent prints from grainy surfaces such as the dash board or steering wheels of cars, oxidized exterior air conditioners, metal doors, and many other surfaces. Using regular lifting tape will not sufficiently recover a latent print from the lower regions of a textured surface. Therefore, the following technique is an excellent way of recovering those difficult prints from textured surfaces. This technique is to be employed after photographing the print in a field situation where this method is being used to produce an item of evidence; it is not necessary to photograph the print during this lab Lab Directions: Part 2: First, cut several six-inch squares from your textured plastic tablecloth. Second, break open your old toner cartridge to recover the remaining bit of toner in the cartridge. Place the toner into your old coffee cup, and set it aside. Next, take one of you squares that you cut from the rough plastic tablecloth, and place an oily (rub your forehead for adequate oil) thumb print in the middle of the table cloth square. Then, take your small paint or make-up brush and dip it into the toner in the bottom of your coffee cup. Make sure that all excess powder is off of the brush by lightly tapping the brush with your finger. Too much powder will cause a problem in developing your latent print. Then, place your square of tablecloth on a flat solid surface, and brush lightly over your known fingerprint going in a circular motion. Continue working on the print until it is developed well enough to see clearly. This may take several attempts; this is why you cut several squares from the tablecloth. Lab Directions: Part 3 Once the latent print is developed to your satisfaction, place a drop of Elmers Blue Gel Glue, about the size of a dime, directly under your developed latent fingerprint; it should be just touching the edge of your print. Using the plastic drinking straw, placed just under the drop of glue, blow through the straw onto the drop of glue (Caution: be sure to exhale and not inhale) and spread the glue over the developed latent print. Completely cover the print so that a bit of glue extends just over the edges of the fingerprint. More or less glue can be used to accomplish additional tests on lifting your print in subsequent attempts at this technique; the amount will depend on your liking. Allow the glue to dry completely over the print. In the field, you can use incandescent lighting to accelerate the process. Once the glue has dried over the fingerprint, take your sharp-pointed knife tip and lightly cut or score around the edges of your fingerprint; thus making it easier to lift. Care should be taken not to damage the fingerprint; just a very light scoring is all that is needed. Next, place wide Scotch tape over the glue-covered fingerprint. You may wish to lightly rub the tape down on the surface of the glue. Do not stick your tape firmly down as if you expect it to stick to the tablecloth. Lab Directions: Part 4: Then, pull back on the Scotch tape from one end back over to top of the glued fingerprint. This should pull the dried glue off of the surface of the tablecloth with the latent print and glue attached to the tape. Carefully re-tape your latent print and drop of glue onto a piece of white paper to preserve the print and enter it into evidence. Repeat this methodology several times until you become proficient at recovering a latent print from a rough textured surface. Post your synopsis on the Lab 2 Discussion Board so that others may read and comment on three of your classmates' lab findings postings.
