Reflective journal
The first journal entry is a self-reflection on what you have learned during the first part of the semester. (attached the files named “lecture 2,3,4,5slides” it is our class materials and file named “required readings”) The reflection needs to address the following questions:
How has your knowledge and understanding of moral reasoning in general and in international business in particular evolved over the past weeks?
Reflect on the readings, theories and/or cases discussed that have impacted you the most. How and why?
Do not to find other resources by googles.
Word limit: 1000 (+/- 10%), not include the reference list. The reading, and theory need to be referred.
• Reference as usual – plagiarism is plagiarism.
• How have YOU evolved? I.e. use “I”; make it personal; don’t describe the theories but reflect on them. Admitting you don’t understand something and why; admitting you are confused and why is a legitimate part of personal reflection (unless it shows you haven’t studied…).
• Demonstrate you have learned something… that your brain is processing what we discuss
• Use and reference class material & required reading/viewing for this unit.
the Utilitarian view, does giving millions of people the opportunity to travel the world make it
ethically sound to deplete fossil fuels for future generations. Taking the deontological view
• I found Kant’s deontology very confronting. As I was trying to apply it to my own life, I realized I do so many things that would not pass the universal law test or the principle of humanity.
• Reflecting on the question of who I really admire and why, I came to realize that…. Etc.
It helps to start with :
1. A SITUATION / EMOTIONAL RESPONSE / SURPRISE / SHOCK
2. IT MADE ME THINK… (start reflecting)
3. MY INSIGHT/ HOW IT WILL CHANGE ME / WHAT I LEARNED ETC.

Discussion in Stages and Concepts of Development Within Play
Think about the last time you shopped for toys. Perhaps you were buying toys for your own children or children of friends or family. If you shopped online, one of the filters you probably used to find an appropriate toy was age range.

They know that designing a 250-piece puzzle is neither appropriate nor useful for a 2-year-old who has limited sensory and motor skills. In this discussion, you will reflect on a favorite toy or game as a child and determine which stage of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development you were in when you played with it.
To prepare for this Discussion

Considering a favorite toy or game you played with during childhood or adolescence.
Using Piaget’s theory, identify the stage of development you were in when you played with this toy or game. How did the skills evident in that stage affect how you played with your toy or game?
