Distinguished Budget Presentation Award

The final summary slide of the Preparation of Unit Budgets PowerPoint presentation states that the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is awarded annually to state and local governments.

Look to see if North Carolina or Orange County Government, NC has received the award. Go that jurisdiction’s web site and look at the budget that received the award. Choose a particular aspect of the budget, i.e., the elements included, the way the material is organized, the physical layout of the document, table presentation, the narratives, etc. and then explain in two or three paragraphs why you think this aspect is effective. (Be sure to include the web site address for the budget you chose)

Description: You will pick one of the following topics only to do your paper on: According to Socrates, must one heed popular opinion about moral matters? Does Socrates accept the fairness of the laws under which he was tried and convicted? Would Socrates have been wrong to escape (CO3)? Consider the following philosophical puzzle: “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?” (1) How is this philosophical puzzle an epistemological problem? And (2) how would John‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ Locke answer it (CO1)? https://intellectualessay.com/ Evaluate the movie, The Matrix, in terms of the philosophical issues raised with (1) skepticism and (2) the mind-body problem.

Explain how the movie raises questions similar to those found in Plato’s and Descartes’ philosophy (CO5 & CO6). Do not give a plot summary of the movie – focus on the philosophical issues raised in the movie as they relate to Plato and Descartes. Socrates asks Euthyphro, “Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?” (1) How does this question relate to the Divine Command Theory of morality? (2) What are the philosophical implications associated with each option here (CO4)?

Explain (1) the process by which Descartes uses skepticism to refute skepticism, and (2) what first principle does this lead him to? (3) Explain why this project was important for Descartes to accomplish (CO2). http://educatoressay.com Your paper will be written at a college level with an introduction, body paragraphs, a conclusion, along with in-text citations/resource page in proper formatting.
