Principles of Accounting
Top of Form
If you were the accountant at your current (or former) place of employment, would you prefer to use static or flexible budgeting? Explain your rationale and the factors that drive your choice.
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length and at least one source from the CSU Online Library should be used. Adhere to APA format when creating citations and references for this journal assignment.
Ethics
As we have learned by examining various contemporary issues, ethics are a mix of opinion and fact. Where you fall on a topic is of course, up to you (opinion). Whether, for example, a belief is consistent depends on the definition of consistency (fact or critical thinking element). When dealing with an ethical problem, the idea is to use both to arrive at the best conclusion to determine the best course of action. Keeping this information in mind, please fully address parts I & II below to complete the final journal for this class.
Part I: As you know, humans can never be 100% unbiased. Does this mean criminals sentenced to death by a jury or judge do not get a fair trial? Explain your answer.
Part II: Can you put a price on human life? Is it consistent to believe life is priceless and condone capital punishment at the same time? Explain your answers.
Your journal entry must be at least 400 words (200 words for each part) in length. No references or citations are necessary.

English
You have almost completed English Composition I; take a moment to congratulate yourself! In as much as reflection is a genre, it is also one of the most important actions of the writing process. Writing a reflection does not mean that you focus only on what you would have changed or what you may have failed at doing; instead, a reflection should be a holistic assessment of an experience so that you can apply those lessons to the next experience.
You have written two essays for this course. Please reflect upon your experience in English Composition I by addressing the following questions. You do not have to address all of them or address them in order. Your reflection must be at least 200 words in length.
