In your own words, identify and discuss the main argument (also known as a thesis or line of reasoning) presented in this article (200 words +/- 10% = 2 marks). In your own words, identify and discuss the assumptions and limitations of the research in the article, that readers need to be aware of. (250 words+/- 10% = 2 marks). In your own words, identify and discuss the main conclusions of this article (200 words+/- 10% = 4 marks).

In your own words, discuss an example of a real business, either a place you have worked at or a workplace you are aware of. What CSR approach and strategy does this business follow? Justify your response and include some recommendations (450 words +/- 10% = 6 marks). Find two peer reviewed journal articles on corporate social responsibility (CSR). These articles can be used in Assessment Item 4, which will be a report. Present these articles using APA 6th referencing style and briefly explain why you believe these are relevant articles (up to 150 words +/- 10% = 2 marks). Provide two sentences and appropriate citations. In the first sentence, provide one indirect (paraphrased) quote from one of the peer reviewed journal articles shown in Q6 (directly above). In the second sentence, provide one direct quote from the other peer reviewed journal article shown in 6 (directly above) (up to 100 words +/-10% @ 0.5 mark each = 1 mark). Remember to include a reference list that starts on a new page. *Writing about an idea in your own words is mainly paraphrasing. Paraphrasing indicates you understand another author's idea so well that you can change the words (but not the meaning!) to suit your own writing style and topic. Paraphrasing is also a legitimate way to borrow an idea so long as you cite and reference the source from which you borrowed it. (see owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/owlprint/619/).
