Discussion Thread: Research Paradigms and Christian Worldview
MANAGE DISCUSSION
Each of us has unique experiences and perceptions that shape what we believe about the world. These beliefs and underlying assumptions affect our natural approach to research. Take a moment to review the four philosophical worldviews (i.e., positivism, post-positivism, constructivism, pragmatism) and identify what fits best with your philosophy. Keep in mind that a research paradigm is essentially a worldview that a researcher brings to their study. It represents the researchers view of reality or truth. While there is ongoing discussion regarding which paradigms exist in the modern research community, it helps to focus on Positivism, Post- Positivism, Constructivism, and Pragmatism for applied business research. It would be best to research this topic to understand your research paradigm, as it will shape how you approach your problem. It is also important to note that while some paradigms lend themselves better to specific methodologies, the choice of methodology does not change the paradigm. This is part of who you are and how you view the world. It is instrumental in thinking about how your research paradigm aligns with your Christian Worldview. To better understand your view of reality, an excellent question to ask yourself is, how many versions of The Truth exist?”
Take a moment to review the four philosophical worldviews (i.e., positivism, post-positivism, constructivism, pragmatism) and identify what fits best with your philosophy.
Positivism Single objective reality that we seek to discover.
Post-Positivism Single objective reality that we seek to discover with the understanding that we never will fully understand it.
Constructivism Reality is determined by the individual, and the researcher seeks to understand that view of reality.
Pragmatism Focus on the problem rather than the view of reality, using any tools available to understand the problem.
After reviewing the Reading for this module and considering the four philosophical worldviews (i.e., positivism, post-positivism, constructionism, pragmatic) discussed in the text, please respond to the following:
Which philosophical worldview most closely aligns with your perspective and how you view problems in the world? How so?
How does understanding the connection between philosophical worldview and research methodology assist in your research approach?
Compare/contrast research philosophical worldview with that of a Christian worldview. Are there any problem areas, or do most philosophical worldviews appear congruent with a Christian worldview?

Abraham Lincoln University Views on This Issue Discussion
I’m working on a business writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn. It is argued that expansionary monetary policy of US Fed and other central banks and the resulting near zero interest rates have caused bubbles and bursts. The logic behind this argument is that near zero interest rate encourages borrowing by risk loving investors who use cheap funds to finance excessively risky projects. But once the economy gets back to normal condition, interest rates start rising and these risky investments increase systematic risk. Many financial institutions who take exposure to these projects during low rate regimes have concentrated risk that could lead to systemic risk.Discuss your views on this issue, whether these arguments have any merit and if they do can you offer some suggestions that would mitigate this risk?

High School Calculus Discussion
The goal is to optimize income for the transportation systemI am doing a math project and need help incorporating the equations of marginal revenue, marginal cost, and the function of derivatives to answer my question. we wanted to determine the maximum profit a mts can make by figuring out what numbers to use for the equations and solve them.This is the report we have so far for our project so we need to solve the math with an explanation and see step by step how using this math can get us an answer on what to change or how to maximize the profit for the transportation system (san diego mts).The San Diego MTS travels at 55 mph while covering 65 miles of San Diego. Its annual income rate was 360.0 million in 2021. While the day pass is $6.00 and the monthly pass is $72.00, charging citizens $0.50 per mile the ride will increase the annual income towards The San Diego MTS. According to sdmts.com, an average rider travels 15 miles a day. Draft so farTo maximize the profit from public transportation systems the concept of marginal revenue and marginal cost can be used. By setting the marginal revenue equal to the marginal cost and then determining the level of output that corresponds to this point. Minimum and maximum derivatives can also be used to optimize systems and achieve desired outcomes as it helps identify the highest point of profit through the slope curve. To add on, using the minimum derivative optimizes public transportation systems by identifying where the point of the slope cost is at its lowest.Derivatives of a function are used to calculate speed or distance traveled, such as miles per hour and kilometers per hour. This is a measurement that is used to determine how quickly the derivative changes the value of Y with the change in the value of X. Derivatives are used every day by certain employers to help determine something changing. For example, the change of speed in trains, buses, cars, and planes is solved with calculus.The formulas we plan on using is derivative of a function:F(x) = lim (h->0) [f(x)(x+h) – f(x))/h]This formula gives the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function f(x) at any given point x. The derivative is forming a base for a plan in calculus and is used to find the rate of change of a function. To find the marginal cost and marginal revenue, we take the derivative of the cost function and revenue function. The marginal cost is the derivative of the total cost function with respect to the quantity of output:MC(q) = dC(q)/dqMC(q) is the marginal cost, C(q) is the total cost function, and q is the quantity of output.MR(q) = dR(q)/dqMR(q) is the marginal revenue, R(q) is the total revenue function, and q is the quantity of output.

SYG 4119 Sociology in Digital World Understanding Digital Identity Formation Presentation
You are working for a local department store in the Operations Department. You notice that their business practices and use of technology are not up to date. One day while working, you are having a discussion about technology and identity formation with your supervisor. Your supervisor continues to explain that individuals and organizations have digital identities that are formed and impacted through various methods. Your supervisor continues, saying, “They can develop or change through social media, positive or negative press, word of mouth, and so on.”Your supervisor, through the course of the discussion, acknowledges that you are very fluent in the area of digital identity and asks you to conduct research and create a visual presentation explaining how digital identity is formed for both individuals and organizations. Your supervisor says, “This visual presentation will be presented to not only me, but company stakeholders and your coworkers in order to help them understand how identity is formed, and how to best maximize digital identity to contribute to the overall success of our store.”Your supervisor continues, saying, “From this presentation, decision makers will be able to work on identity management and can then implement digital strategies in order to maintain or improve the store’s identity. In the end, this is intended to help increase exposure to the store, enhance the customer base, and the overall success of the store. The visual representation should be interactive and informative and can be presented in any visual format that you choose.”For this research and presentation, you are to reflect upon and address the following topics:What are the key methods of identity development? Consider available technology, socioeconomic status, generational issues, access to technological resources, etc.Explain how technology and digital forums can aid in identity formation.Consider available technology, socioeconomic status, generational issues, access to technological resources, etc.
