In your view, should the harasser in your selected case be held accountable for the victim’s suicide? Do you see this as a case of wrongful death and/or corruption of a minor, even though the offense took place online? Have you or someone you know ever been the victim of cyberbullying? What ethical norms inform your conduct online?
After reviewing the Chernenko, et al. article, propose your own original policy as a suggestion for school policies that would address how this issue should be both counseled and prevented. Make sure to incorporate properly cited evidence from the Study Materials to support your analysis.

Does a portfolio with direct real estate provide stronger diversification than portfolios of stocks and REITs?
General Topic: Direct Real Estate Performance
Data set: Commercial real price indices from Real Capital Analytics (RCA). https://www.rcanalytics.com/. Stock and REIT
data.
Research Question: Does a portfolio with direct real estate provide stronger diversification than portfolios of stocks and REITs?
Direct real estate is perceived as an asset class that is difficult to add to a portfolio (high transaction costs, low liquidity), but the diversification benefits could outweigh the costs. REITs have generally been used as a proxy for real estate, but research has shown REITs tend to correlate more to the stock market than one would expect from real estate. What can an allocation to direct real estate do for a portfolio? And what works better within a country, diversification over regions or over property types?
The estimation of direct real estate indices is a challenge on its own. Increased availability of transaction data however makes it possible to create an international set of direct real estate indices. Estimation of real estate indices is an optional addition to the research subject.

What is “gender” how does religion contribute to its fabrication and why must we take into account the diversity of religious constructions of gender when studying women and religion?
Many scholars agree that religion contributes significantly to the construction of gender. This has led some of
them to conclude that religions are, by essence, a bastion of male domination. However, recent scholarship insists on the fact that we have to give greater consideration to the diversity of religions across cultures and their varied
constructions of gender. What is “gender” how does religion contribute to its fabrication and why must we take into account the diversity of religious constructions of gender when studying women and religion? Don’t forget

Is Christian ethics relativistic or absolutist? Explain your answer.
compose a 500-600 word argument that is objective, carefully-constructed, and free of emotion (and hence it should not contain any exclamation points) in support of your opinion about ethical relativism and Christian ethics. Formulate your argument by answering BOTH of the following questions:
Is Christian ethics relativistic or absolutist? Explain your answer.
What, if any, are the differences between ethical relativism and the subjective aspects of Christian ethics?
For question 1, answer whether Christian ethics is relativistic or absolutist. First, you should define relativism and absolutism. Don’t simply re-state the reading, but provide an explanation of relativism and absolutism using your own words but also showing that you did the reading and understand the issues. Present the strengths and weaknesses of relativism and how these compare to absolutism. Here you should bring into play the arguments that are discussed in the assigned reading in chapter two of our textbook, Moral Reasoning. You should also incorporate the introduction from our Biblical Ethics textbook. You must read these chapters carefully. Some of the arguments for relativism presented in Moral Reasoning are eventually rejected as fallacious later in the chapter. The more cogent arguments are not presented until the second half of the chapter, where the author sides with the overwhelming majority of ethicists in concluding that ethical relativism is false. You may also read ahead to chapters 8 and 9 in Moral Reasoning, where the author presents a Christian ethic, and you may also consult outside sources. Whichever side you take on the issue, please treat both sides with respect.
For question 2, explain the differences between ethical relativism and the subjective elements in Christian ethics. In addition to the textbooks and academic sources, you are encouraged to incorporate important biblical passages such as Romans 14-15.
You are expected to cite at least one academic source in your DB threads and replies. These sources would include the course textbooks, books, journal articles, periodicals, and similar publications. Sources such as Wikipedia and online dictionaries do not count as academic sources and should not be used. Biblical references are encouraged, but will not count as an academic source.
