Title: Using AI to Explore Knowledge Gaps on the Topic of Climate Change

 
Create a list of questions using Artificial Intelligence that highlight where your knowledge deficiencies are:
Choose a topic. Choose a topic that you are interested in but that you are not an expert on. This will give you the opportunity to use AI to learn more about the topic and to generate questions that you might not have thought of on your own.
Use an AI tool. There are a number of AI tools that you can use to generate questions. Some popular options include Bard, ChatGPT, and Google AI.
Prompt the AI tool. When you prompt the AI tool, be sure to be as specific as possible about your topic. You can also provide the AI tool with some background information on your topic to help it generate more relevant questions. Keep at this step to probe for solutions while still asking questions. Avoid the temptation to have the AI also provide your team with solutions. 
Additional Tips
Use AI to generate a large number of questions so that you have a wide range of options to choose from. Be specific. If you want twenty questions, ask for twenty questions. The AI will give you what you request. 
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different prompts and AI tools. If you are using ChatGPT, try Bard or Bing instead.
Refine your questions. Once the AI tool has generated a list of questions, take some time to refine them. Make sure that the questions are clear, concise, and focused on your topic. You may also want to add some follow-up questions or questions that explore different perspectives on your topic.
Your goal is to find answers to these questions that will help you find solutions to the problem. An optional template is provided in the Resources section above.
Divide up the work of researching the answers to those questions. Use both scholarly and quality practitioner resources to help your team learn the answers together.
Compile an organized list of the team’s questions and answers (Q&As) along with the resources you used in your research. Clearly indicate team members’ contributions.

“Exploring the Business Case for Conscious Capitalism: Direct and Indirect Evidence for Superior Financial Performance” “Promoting Employee Well-Being: A Closer Look at a Workplace that Prioritizes Work-Life Balance and Diversity & Inclusion”

Q1) 
In Appendix A, authors Mackey and Sisodia (2014)(Please see attached word doc for chapter info) present a business case for conscious capitalism.  They explain that the appendix provides “direct and indirect evidence that conscious companies perform better financially in the long run” (p. 277).
For your initial post this week, consider the direct and indirect evidence they cite, and identify two that you find most compelling.  Develop your argument by explaining why those resonate with you.  Complete your post by identifying a company that seems to be a good example for your argument.(2-3 Paragraphs)
Q2) Please provide replies to the given two posts(1-2 Paragraphs each)
Post 1:(Taylor)
 Today I am checking in at a +2. I am motivated to get through these next two weeks and graduate. I am appreciative of all the opportunities St. Ambrose has offered me over the past years. 
Mackey and Sisodia list six direct factors that lead concious companies to superior financial performance: their main goal is not to maximize stakeholder returns, employees experience generous pay and benefits, pay higher taxes, don’t squeeze their suppliers to get the lowest price, invest in their communities, and provide great customer value and customer service. The two that I find most compelling are not squeezing the suppliers and investing in the community. These two resonate most with me because they are occasionally mistreated. Many companies prioritize getting the biggest bang for their buck instead of building and caring for their relationship with their supplier. Investing in the community is a direct investment in its growth and development. Four main indirect factors lead to superior financial performance: superior work environments, highly ethical, flexible stakeholder-oriented cultures, and visionary leaders. The two indirect factors I find most compelling are being highly ethical and having visionary leaders. These resonate with me because many times they get overlooked. The MOL program emphasizes companies being ethical and how it will benefit them in the long run. Being ethical can lead to a superior brand reputation, higher customer loyalty, and lower turnover. “Over time, firms led by visionary leaders significantly outperformed those led by financially focused, autocratic leaders” (Mackey & Sisodia, 2014, p. 281). Patagonia is a company that I think resembles these qualities. They pledged a percentage of their sales to go to the preservation and restoration of the environment. They also guarantee that they make everything them self and take responsibility for their impact. Patagonia touches on all four of the indirect and direct factors that resonate with me. This is one of the many reasons they are successful. 
Post 2: Rahdhar
 
I check in as +2 this week, motivated and happy.
I enjoyed reading Appendix A since it considers factors other than monetary gain in wealth growth. The text offers convincing direct proof based on the fifteen-year performance of a representative sample of publicly listed conscious firms. During that time, these companies beat the S&P 500 index by a ratio of 10.5. The text also references Ethisphere, which annually rewards the most socially aware firms worldwide based on seven criteria. These companies have regularly outperformed the S&P 500, suggesting a strong correlation between ethical behavior and financial performance. This data shows a substantial correlation between conscientious company practices and improved financial outcomes. This interests me because it shows how businesses may be financially successful and contribute positively to the environment and society.
Aflac is a good example of a company that follows ethical business practices and promotes an enjoyable work environment. For the 18th time, Ethisphere has named Aflac one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. This recognition demonstrates their dedication to openness, sustainability, and ethical workplace behavior. Aflac is known for its excellent work environment, which encourages work-life balance and employee well-being. Furthermore, their initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion have received recognition.

Title: Analyzing the Ethical Challenges of Negligence in the Snapchat Speed Filter Case

 The Reality Check “Snapchat: When Is a Company’s Product Responsible for Causing Injuries?” presents an opportunity to consider the ethical challenges associated with negligence.  The authors explain that “negligence involves having the ability to foresee the consequences of our acts and failing to take steps to avoid the likely harmful consequences” (p. 314)(Chapter 8-Ethics and Marketing). For this application paper, read the Reality Check on page 314, and then craft an academic paper that addresses the four sets of questions it posed:
What liability, if any, should Snapchat have for the damages caused by this accident?  No one denies that the driver bears primary responsibility, but did Snapchat also contribute to the harms caused?
What uses could Snapchat have reasonably foreseen for this speed filter?  What could Snapchat reasonably be expected to know about the users of its products?
Was the advice contained in the terms of service sufficient warning to protect Snapchat from any misuse of its products?
Do you think that the speed filter is a dangerous product?  Was Snapchat negligent in marketing this product?
Use the attached file (APA (7th Ed) Template for Student Papers) for your document.
