Exploring the theory on governance can give insight into your company.
For this essay, you will conduct research in order to contrast agency theory and stewardship theory in corporate governance. In your essay, be sure to address the following comments:

What are the roles and responsibilities of the board of directors? Please provide an example of a board of directors that did, or did not meet its responsibilities to the company.
Explain the Sarbanes Oxley Act and its impact on corporate governance. How has it changed the way leaders do business in the United States?
Conclude with a discussion of the ways the strategic audit helps corporate governance.

Prepare: As you prepare to write your first discussion for this week, complete the following:

  • Read An Introduction to Logic and Syllogisms
  • Watch Syllogism, Mood, and Figure
  • Review the grading rubric for this discussion

Reflect: Before drafting your initial post, take time to reflect on the rhetorical situation and the appeal to logos in your paper. Have you given logic and reason enough emphasis? Are you concerned about fallacies in your work? Think about your argument, its claims, and the supporting evidence. Have you developed a logical argument supported by credible evidence?

Write (due Thursday, Day 3): Utilize your outline to make a list of every claim and all supporting evidence for your argument thus far, keeping an eye on the appeal to logos. Each claim should be written by you in your own words and should introduce a part of your unique argument. Paraphrase or summarize your supporting evidence and include a proper APA-style in-text citation. You may include multiple pieces of evidence for each claim.

List your thesis statement, claims, and evidence in the following format:

  • Thesis statement: Write your single-sentence thesis statement here.
  • Claim: Write your first claim in a complete sentence here.
    • Evidence: Paraphrase or summarize your source and cite it here (Sample, 2015).
    • Evidence: Paraphrase or summarize additional sources that support this claim and cite them here as 2., 3., 4., and so on (Sample, 2015).
    • Evidence: If you feel the need to use a quote, “add it to the list with proper quotation marks and the appropriate in-text citation containing the page, section, or paragraph number in the original source” (Sample, 2015, p. 22).
  • Claim: Write your second claim in a complete sentence here.
    • Evidence: Paraphrase or summarize your source here (Sample, 2015).
    • Evidence: Continue to paraphrase and summarize your sources for each claim (Sample, 2015).
  • Claim: Continue to write your claims in complete sentences.
    • Evidence
    • Evidence
  • In 200 to 300 words, compare your claims and evidence to the common fallacies described in “An Introduction to Logic and Syllogisms.”
    • Describe any fallacies you locate and describe how you will remove those fallacies this week.
    • Describe how your claims logically support your thesis statement as well-supported premises.
  • Be sure to use the correct vocabulary when discussing fallacy: Slippery slope, hasty generalization, post hoc ergo propter hoc, either/or, ad hominem, etc.
  • End your post with any questions or concerns you have regarding the appeal to logos, the use of supporting evidence, the role of claims in an argument, or fallacies.

Police Wearing Body Cameras

I. Introduction

A. Thesis statement: The use of body cameras by the policemen will serve to create better relations between the American public and the police force as it will reduce the chances of misconduct, enhance the push for more great community engagement and will ensure the evaluation of the police officers that allegedly use excessive force.

II. Body Paragraph

A. Claim: Body cameras improve how police interact with the public.

1. Evidence: Some people feel offended when the police for frisking stops them, this does not have to happen with the use of body cameras.

2. Evidence: More citations for ordinance violations by 23.1% hence reducing crimes and creating a more peaceful environment.

3. Discussion: Better relations are created when the police do not have to stop everyone for frisking. Reduction in crimes makes the police friends of the public.

III. Body Paragraph

A. More interactions with citizens

1. Police think of the criminal policies and procedures more carefully

2. With evidence of their work there is close supervision by the superiors.

IV. Body Paragraph

A. Officers perceive the instruments more helpful

1. There are no long procedures to prove whether a citizen broke the law, as there is video evidence.

2. The instruments bring more accountability but less civil liability.

V. Body Paragraph

A. Reduced use of force while dealing with the public

1. Police are more careful while dealing with the public as their actions are being monitored.

2. Suspects also have to cool down as they do not want to escalate the charges.

VI. Body Paragraph

A. Counterargument: Interferes with police officers’ rights. Discretion amongst the police officers is reduced but it is good for a while.

B. Rebuttal: Discretion is not necessary at work.

1. Monitoring police activities at work interferes with no rights.

2. Discretion is one of the issues that supervisors want to get rid of.

VII. Conclusion

A. Body cameras are a good enhancement in the law enforcement as they improve self-awareness amongst the police officers, better public police relations and suspects’ behavior.

B. Concluding statement: though the cost of having these cameras is high, it is important to consider the cost benefit analysis. The benefits that these body cameras bring cannot be compared with the situation of not having them, therefore, this technology should gain some legitimacy and be used widely.
