Thinking Critically About Ethical Issues . As in all cases for this course, you must identify the parties and the moral issue(s) at stake. Then concentrate on identifying the relationships among the individuals . What relations of care need to be maintained or developed? Their are three cases and each case needs to be at least a paragraph long and answer to the best of your knowledge. Case 13a. A married couple discover that their 22-year old daughter, a college senior, is a lesbian. They are shocked and dismayed, for they regard this as moral degeneracy. They are thinking of refusing to attend her graduation and refusing to welcome her in their home until she renounces this sexual preference. Case 11. A married couple, both addicted to drugs, are unble to care for their infant daughter. She is taken from them by court order and placed in a foster home. The years pass. She comes to regard her foster parents as her real parents. They love her as they would their own daughter. When the child is 9 years old, her natural paents, rehabilitated from drugs, begin court action to regain custody. The case is decided in their favor. The child is returned to them, against her will. Does ethics support the law in this case? Discuss. Case 19. Elvira is very much in love with her fiance', Ethelred. Though they have been engaged for over a year (and sexually intimate for almost as long), Ethelred balks at setting a date for the marriage. Elvira is convinced that his obstacle is not disaffection, but fear, and that once he can be moved to action, he will be relieved and happy. She therefore feigns pregnancy and plans to feign a miscarriage after they are married. .

Counselors who work with children and adolescents often need to balance their clients' or students' rights, their own views of moral and ethical behavior, and the demands of ethical codes and state laws. For each vignette below, list the questions and concerns that arise for you as you consider the potential legal and ethical issues, the client's or student's rights, and your own personal beliefs and values. Cite specific state laws and ethical codes to support your discussion. A 14-year-old boy describes himself as being gay and discloses he's been sexually intimate with his 14-year-old friend LeRoy for the past three months. He is worried he may have a sexually transmitted disease. He wants your advice and support but does not want you to tell his parents. A 17-year-old girl reveals she is four months pregnant and is terrified to tell her parents or the father of the child; she believes they will force her to keep the baby. The girl admits she has already contacted a couple she found on the Internet to discuss placing the baby for adoption when it is born. A 16-year-old boy who has an underlying medical disorder that causes chronic pain reveals he has been able to receive "medical marijuana" from a friend's uncle. He only smokes it occasionally and feels his pain has been significantly relieved. .

Juvenile Life without Parole erious crimes deserve serious penalties, but crimes committed by children, though sometimes resulting in serious and tragic harm, deserve special consideration. These crimes tend to be impulsive, short-sighted, and driven by fear and by childish desires to impress peers or pacify adults. New brain science confirms that teenagers have less capacity for self-control, but much greater capacity for selfimprovement, than adults. All of this suggests that children should be sentenced differently than adults and receive additional opportunities to demonstrate change 1 JLWOP statistics In 2012, approx. 2500 individuals were serving LWOP sentenced they received as children An additional 25,000 were serving virtual life sentences A 50-year sentence for a 16-year old will cost upwards of $2.25 million. The majority of these individuals are male (97%) and Black (62%) Significant risk factors 79% witnessed violence in their homes regularly 32% grew up in public housing Fewer than half were attending school at the time of their offense 47% were physically abused 80% of girls reported histories of physical abuse and 77% of girls reported histories of sexual abuse How did we get here?

The harsh reforms were rooted in the popularization of the idea of the “superpredator,” a supposed class of teenagers who were highly violent, dangerous, and beyond redemption.19 Meanwhile, public officials worried that gangs were recruiting children to commit crimes because the juvenile justice system would not punish them harshly.20 Public fear of juvenile crime coalesced in claims that some children were so-called “Humpty Dumpty children,” perceived to be broken beyond repair.21 3 Fates in limbo Maryland’s juvenile lifers https://youtu.be/nSYO-YtK96A Children are different In 2005, the Supreme Court held in Roper v.

Alabama that mandatory LWOP sentences for children are unconstitutional prevent the decisionmaker from taking into account the age and diminished culpability of juvenile offender In several recent decisions, the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that children are different from adults and must be treated differently in criminal sentencing.

After completing your first course project assignment, you should have a solid grasp of the crime you will explore and what the criminal justice response to this crime has been. It is now time to engage in some critical thinking about how we can seek to explain this crime. Much of what we have been discussing these past few weeks includes theories that seek to explain crime. For this week's assignment, complete the following: Identify two criminological theories that you believe will explain the crime you selected. Discuss (critically) how these theories can apply to the crime you selected. This assignment should be at least 2-3 pages in length. Your paper should reference at least five scholarly sources that discuss a criminological theory, using APA format. Students should seek out peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles from LIRN to complete this assignment. Abstract In this paper, The two criminological theories which I will be using to explain child abuse and neglect is the classical criminological theory and the positivist theory. I will discuss how both of these theories can be applied to this particular crime. Criminological Theories There are numerous criminological theories. For this assignment I will work with classical criminological theory and the positivist theory (Eglin, 1992). According to the positivist theory, people commit crimes because they lack the moral intelligence to stop them from making decisions that would lead to criminal actions. This theory asserts that people do not just make decisions to commit crimes but that there are internal forces that contribute to their wayward criminal behavior. These factors may include the social acceptability of the person, the moral values as well as the intelligence of the person. The person lacks the internal drive to make him obey the laws (Beirne,1987). The classical criminological theory asserts people think critically before they commit a crime. Their thinking usually weighs the consequences of the action that one intends to commit. The thinking guides the people before making the decision to commit the crimes and therefore they are usually aware of what is likely to happen to them after the criminal action they intend to engage in. According to this theory, people make the decisions to commit crimes and are also aware of the consequences (Barak,1998). Positivist theory and its application to the crime Positivist theory can be applied to the child abuse crime from various perspectives. To begin with, the people who abuse children are very dear to them. These include babysitters, parents as well as close relatives. According to this theory, they therefore make the decision to abuse the child due to lack of moral intelligence. This is because if the person abusing the child had some morals, then the morals would guide him or her not to abuse the child but to take care of the child as is morally accepted. For instance, looking at Casey Anthony case, the mother might hav.

Children and the law

Ed Horowicz

A youth is arrested for drug possession, spends time in prison, is unable to get a job as an adult, and turns back to the street. Another youth is arrested for prostitution but is considered a human trafficking victim and is diverted to social services; the youth recovers from the experience and starts a new life. Choices made in the juvenile justice system have long-terms effects on individuals’ lives that have, in many ways, barely begun. What if the youth arrested for drug possession was removed from his alcoholic father’s care, stayed with an aunt in a better neighborhood, and sent to a treatment program? What if the youth arrested for prostitution was given jail time and simply sent back out on the street? This week, you analyze the long-term effects of key decisions made on behalf of young offenders. Cox, S. M., Allen, J. M., Hanser, R. D., & Conrad, J. J. (2018).

The store in that first arrest dropped the charges, and Adam made restitution for what he had stolen. Within the next year, it became apparent that Adam had a drug problem, as a teacher reported finding drug paraphernalia on his person and his mother revealed finding drugs around the house. Adam was then picked up for possession of a controlled substance. Adam attended outpatient treatment in lieu of being charged, where he revealed that he had been selling small amounts of drugs to some classmates. He also revealed that his abusive father had left some time ago and that his mother also suffered from drug addiction, often leaving drugs out in the open. After a fight outside a high school football game led to his injuring another student, Adam was sent to various intervention programs to address his drug use and sometimes violent behavior. He rebounded for a time, attending school more regularly and, according to those around him, staying clean. However, in recent months, Adam has fallen in with a crowd of 18- and 19-year-olds who are part of a regional crystal meth operation. Adam arrives before you after having shot and critically wounded .

Final Project Case Studies Case 1. Hot burglary At 16, Ray seemed to have a good life. He had a high IQ and a 4.0 GPA. He had lots of friends, and they enjoyed hanging out. What no one knew was that Ray’s home life was miserable. His stepfather, a successful businessman who had married Ray’s mother 10 years earlier, had always rejected Ray the boy. The stepfather constantly belittled Ray in public and at home. Ray’s mother could do nothing to protect her son. Nor could she protect herself from the physical abuse her husband inflicted on her. Frequently Ray witnessed his stepfather assaulting his mother, throwing her to the floor and punching her. His half-sister, 11 years his junior, was adored by the father because she was his biological daughter. The rejection by the stepfather and earlier separation from his biological father impacted Ray’s self-perception, and by age 17 Ray was acting out. His MO was burglarizing the homes of the affluent. Sometimes he had help from friends and other times he went in alone. As he progressed in his criminal behavior, he found himself entering homes where people were present and asleep, also referred to as hot burglaries. He reported how powerful and in control he felt when standing in a bedroom of his victims while they slept. Later he would masturbate while thinking about the burglaries. Case 2. Family Homicide A devout Christian, married woman living in Florida had 6 children. She suffered from depression for many years. Each pregnancy and the addition of another child added to her stress and depression. Over time her conditioned worsened and her family insisted that she seek therapy. She was prescribed anti-psychotic medications and regular visits with a therapist. Over time her doses of medications doubled but her depression pulled her down into states of psychosis. There were moments of clarity. She admitted to her therapist that she was having thoughts of harming her children. That admission resulted in someone being with her at all times to supervise. Her husband was not convinced that there was anything really wrong with her other than that she could use a “good swift kick in the pants” to get her back on track. Besides, they both wanted children. They even decided that she would go off her anti-psychotic medication so she could get pregnant again. Besides, he argued, it was God’s will for them that they have lots of children. In truth the woman had actually reported to her therapist that it was her husband who wanted more children and that he convinced her it was the right thing to do and that all would be well according to God’s plan. The husband soon decided that his wife really did not need constant supervision and, without notifying the therapist, he went off to work leaving her alone with the 6 children. He believed she needed some independence. The wife waited until she knew he was gone and placed the family dog in a secure space so he would not interfere with what she was about t ...

Colleen has been living on a farm with her aunt. Although she has no prior contact with the law, she admits to having run away from her aunt in the past, though she always returned on her own. Colleen’s current trouble is centered on a neighbor’s dispute about her dog. After the dog bit the neighbor, the neighbor threatened and attempted to take the dog to animal control. When the neighbor later found Colleen and the dog trespassing on her property, the neighbor verbally threatened to “get” them both. Apparently, the neighbor set fire to a scarecrow on her property to emphasize her point. At this point, Colleen threw a nearby bucket of liquid on the neighbor. The liquid was later determined to be a pesticide. The pesticide burned the skin on contact and ...

For this assignment, you are provided with four video case studies (linked in the Resources). Review the cases of Julio and Kimi, and choose either Reese or Daneer for the third case. Review these two videos: •The Case of Julio: Julio is a 36-year-old single gay male. He is of Cuban descent. He was born and raised in Florida by his parents with his two sisters. He attended community college but did not follow through with his plan to obtain a four-year degree, because his poor test taking skills created barriers. He currently works for a sales promotion company, where he is tasked with creating ads for local businesses. He enjoys the more social aspects of his job, but tracking the details is challenging and has caused him to lose jobs in the past. He has been dating his partner, Justin, for five years. Justin feels it is time for them to commit and build a future. Justin is frustrated that Julio refuses to plan the wedding and tends to blame Julio’s family. While Julio’s parents hold some traditional religious values, they would welcome Justin into the family but are respectfully waiting for Julio to make his plans known. Justin is as overwhelmed by the details at home as he is at work. •The Case of Kimi: Kimi is a 48-year-old female currently separated from her husband, Robert, of 16 years. They have no children, which was consistent with Kimi’s desire to focus on her career as a sales manager. She told Robert a pregnancy would wreck her efforts to maintain her body. His desire to have a family was a goal he decided he needed to pursue with someone else. He left Kimi six months ago for a much younger woman and filed for divorce. Kimi began having issues with food during high school when she was on the dance team and felt self-conscious wearing the form-fitting uniform. During college, she sought treatment because her roommate became alarmed by her issues around eating. She never told her parents about this and felt it was behind her. Her parents are Danish and value privacy. They always expected Kimi to be independent. Her lack of communication about her private life did not concern them. They are troubled by Robert’s behavior and consider his conspicuous infidelity as a poor reflection upon their family. Kimi has moved in with her parents while she and Robert are selling the house, which has upended the balance in their relationship. For a third case, choose one of these videos: •The Case of Reese: -Reese is a 44-year-old married African American female. Her parents live in another state, and she is their only child. Her father is a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who was stationed both in the United States and overseas while Reese was growing up. She entered the Air Force as soon as she graduated high school at age 17 and has achieved the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. She has been married 15 years to John, and they recently discovered she is pregnant. The unexpected pregnancy has been quite disorienting for someone who has planned.

Polytechnic University of the Philippines

John and Sheila Baldinucci, citizens of the United States, are in their thirties and have been married for ten years. Sheila has a congenital defect that prevents her from having children. The Badinuccis are well-educated professionals, easy in their relationship, and respected in their community. They have tried to adopt a child, but have grown impatient with the delays. At this point, they approach an agency that offers to find an English surrogate mother for a fee of $9,000. John goes to England to give sperm. The surrogate mother is inseminated by a nurse. In a recorded interview, the surrogate claims that she conceived with the second insemination attempt. She voluntarily gives up her parental rights for a fee, leaves the hospital some hours after the birth of the child, and has not seen the child since. The Baldinuccis then apply for guardianship of the child. The court, considering the interests of the child, grants them custody on condition that they return to Britain if the court should so order. There is no way to enforce this condition since the couple has no property in England. The couple then returned to the United States with the child in their custody, but not legally adopted. There are doubts as to the citizenship of the child and her rights to inherit. She is at best the illegitimate daughter of John, the natural father, and has no legal claims on Sheila. The gestational mother receives the sum of $30,000 for her story from a magazine, which runs the story without her name but with a picture. The agency that had arranged the agreement refuses to pay the surrogate her fee, since she has made so much from the story. Was the agency ethical when it refused to pay the surrogate because she made money from the story?.

ADDICTION CASE STUDIES Introduction In this media piece, you will be introduced to four case studies that represent very different people in very different circumstances. Each person is involved with some form of addiction. Like people in the real world, the people in each case are struggling in their own way. CASE 1: Connor Gannon is a 45–year–old man who is court–ordered to treatment following his second conviction for DUI. His drinking has caused a variety of problems in his life. Demographics and Comorbidity 45–year–old Irish Catholic Caucasian male, divorced, two children ages 20 and 18, youngest lives with mother, oldest lives outside home and attends community college, has an older brother and father who abuse alcohol and live in same city. Earned high school diploma, served in military with honorable discharge. Maintains gainful employment in the construction industry. Sociocultural Factors Lives alone in modest apartment, dates women he meets in local bars. Maintains contact with brother and father, with whom he enjoys drinking, but brother and father drink much more than he does and they have each experienced multiple DUIs and arrests for public intoxication. Enjoys drinking with his peers from the construction company, and drinking is typically excessive. Alcohol is involved in almost all social situations, his “way of life.” Participates in local church only for major religious events. Addiction History Began drinking alcohol as a teen with peers. Drinking increased after enlistment in military with episodes of extreme alcohol abuse, but never impacted his military work performance that resulted in sanctions. His construction work performance can be negatively impacted from abuse of alcohol, but there is a high tolerance for drinking behavior in his industry and he has not been sanctioned for poor work performance. Treatment History Received court-ordered treatment after first DUI conviction three years ago. Was required to complete months of abstinence from alcohol and had to provide random urine screens to verify his abstinence. Successfully completed the treatment program without incident. Despite this criminal conviction and treatment, he does not perceive himself as an “alcoholic”. Reason for Seeking Treatment Received his second DUI conviction in three years due to a severe automobile accident with minor injuries to himself and severe injuries to the driver and passengers in the other car. He has been court–ordered to treatment after serving time in jail. He will also have to see a probation counselor, submit random urine screens, and lose his driver's license for one year. CASE 2: Juan Medina is a 23–year–old Hispanic man who lives with his girlfriend and son. He has been ordered to seek treatment for his use of heroin or go to jail.

This assignment engages you in different perspectives on a text and gives you the opportunity to employ a useful tool for note-taking and understanding. 1. Listen to/read three interviews about the Syrian refugee crisis and M.I.A: Rolling Stone interview: "M.I.A.: The Permanent Revolution of Pop's Most Fascinating Radical" (Links to an external site.) This American Life radio show episode "Are We There Yet?" (Links to an external site.) Daily Show segment "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Welcomes Syrian Refugees to Canada" (Links to an external site.) For each interview, use the double-entry or dialogic notebook technique*. As the term implies, you are engaging in a dialogue with a text; in a sense, you will be “talking back” to the work. What I want you to do is take a piece of notebook paper and fold it in half length-wise, so you have two columns. Now, draw a line where the fold is, and you have two sides of the paper to make notes on, or have a conversation. On the left side, you can take notes, including facts, interesting or important quotes (don't forget the page number if pertinent), unfamiliar terms, connections to other works, and so on. Essentially, you make a note of anything that strikes you as important or interesting about the piece. Once you've finished reading the work, go back and look at your notes. Use the right side of the paper to comment on them. What do your notes mean? What do they reveal about the text’s meaning or significance? Why do you think this particular line caught your attention? How can you use this information in your own writing and in class discussions? This is where you should develop your critical questions. Dialogic notebooks can be used in any number of ways: You can write down a quote on the left (with the page number and title, so you don't forget!) and your thoughts/analysis of the quote on the right You can compare and contrast two sources or stories; you can write sources that support your thesis on one side, and sources that act as counter-arguments on the other You can ask questions one one side, and then explore the answers in your notes on the other side-- or words you need to look up and then their definitions. Really, you can benefit from using a dialogic notebook in any class where reading is important. It can help increase your understanding and appreciation of texts, and can be invaluable in helping you write papers, improve your vocabulary and prepare for tests. It is a very useful way to organize notes. So...now you get to try it out! 2. As you listen to/read the interviews, use the dialogic notebook to take notes: On the left side , note the purpose and audience for each interview (keep in mind each interview likely has several purposes and audiences). On the right side , write down quotes from the interviews that support your claims about purpose and audience. Keep in mind an important part of the note-taking process is the ability to keep track of your sources.

This assignment demonstrates your professional writing skills as well as your intercultural communication competency. This assignment consists of two parts: Part 1: Complete the INCA survey and develop a one-page reflection summarizing your ideas. Directions: Complete all of the INCA Survey questions. When you are done, use the INCA survey student manual to help you analyze your results. Read about the different dimensions of intercultural competency and what they mean. Survey Attached below INCA is an acronym for In tercultural C ompetency A ssessment. The purpose of the INCA survey is for you to examine your intercultural awareness and assess your cultural sensitivity. This activity is designed to help you become aware of your own attitude towards cultural diversity. The dimensions of cultural competence measured by the INCA survey are:1) Tolerance of ambiguity, 2) Behavioral flexibility, 3) Communicative awareness, 4) Knowledge discovery, 5) Respect for Otherness, and 6) Empathy. Part 2: Directions: Use the 3 critical incidents selected below and analyze them. Your analysis should contain at least three scholarly references each that pertain directly to the incident, and should be completed as formal written report in APA format. You can take the format of an executive briefing or a training session. The analysis should be complete and supported by literature, not an opinion piece. My friend liked her class, but she felt that the teacher was very cold. She said the teacher just taught grammar and never asked about the students’ families or talked about her own. A man commented one day that the reason there are so many single women in Canada is that they are lazy. His female friend was surprised and insulted by his attitude. A young woman had recently arrived in Canada ready to start a new life. She found the weather a little cold but still enjoyed wearing the same style she wore at home—tight skirts and tight tops that had low neck- lines. After about a month, she began to notice people staring at her. She thought they were looking at her because she was a foreigner. Then one day someone told her that only prostitutes dressed that way. She felt angry and insulted. Next choose from the following cultural orientations and themes as they relate to the critical incidents (can be more than one). Explain how your chosen critical incident relates to one or more cultural orientation(s) and theme(s) in your report: Universalism/Particularism Power Distance Hierarchy/Equality Individualism/Collectivism Space: Private/Public Face Communication: High/Low Context Communication: formal/ informal Communication: direct/indirect Communication: non-verbal Competitiveness Thinking Learning Style Interpersonal Distance and Touch Time Death/dying Cheating Customs Knowledge Teacher/student Relationship building Discipline Apology Work ethic Conflict Respect Parenting Negotiating Gender roles Assignment Requirements You will want to conduct your own.

This assignment consists of two parts. Part I—Case Studies Select one of the three case studies given below. Analyze the facts in the scenarios and develop appropriate arguments and recommendations using case law and scholarly sources. Do not copy the case studies into the paper. Cite your sources in APA format on a separate page. Add Part 2 and submit the two parts in a single document. Scenario 1: Criminal Law Hank's Hunting & Fishing Supply, with stores located throughout the state of Utopia, sells a wide variety of sporting goods, including guns. Section 323.45 of the Utopia Penal Code requires every seller of guns to verify that the purchaser has not committed a felony in any state within the past five years. If the purchaser has committed a felony within the past five years, the seller is not allowed to complete the sale. Selling a gun to a felon is considered a misdemeanor and is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a maximum $10,000 fine. Wayne Carver, who was convicted of a felony under Utopia's penal code four years ago, purchased a gun at one of the Hank stores. Mel Loew, a salesman, sold Carver the gun without asking for identification or checking Carver's criminal background. Loew never checked whether any of the customers to whom he sold guns were felons. He was not aware of the law requiring him to check on every customer's prior criminal history. However, Warren Peace, Loew's supervisor, knew of the law and also knew that Loew never checked whether a customer was a felon. Hank, the sole shareholder and director of Hank's Hunting & Fishing Supply, knew about the law but did not know that Loew did not check on any customer's prior criminal history. Carver used the gun in a bank robbery and shot a police officer and a bystander during his getaway. Carver has not been apprehended. Can Loew be punished under Section 323.45 of the Utopia Penal Code? What are the potential causes of action for Peace, Hank, or Hank's Hunting & Fishing Store? What penalties should be assessed? Does your state have a process that restores a felon's rights to own firearms? If so, provide the law and a short description of the process. Do you feel the process is legal and ethical? Scenario 2: Employment Law Sarah Franklin, an Apostolic Christian, worked as an overnight stocker at SaveMore. One night, during a break, Franklin participated in a conversation about God, homosexuality, and same-sex marriages. The next day, an employee told the manager that Franklin made inappropriate comments about gays to Casey, a gay employee. Over the next six weeks, SaveMore investigated the incident by interviewing and obtaining statements from employees who were present during the conversation. In his statement, Casey reported that Franklin pointed her finger and said that God does not accept gays, that gays should "not be allowed to marry," and that they will "go to hell." Four employees confirmed that Franklin said that gays "are going to hell." SaveMore te.

This assignment asks you to apply geographical concepts to your life and to the world around you. The assignment requires both primary and secondary research. You will write three short “journal entries,” an introduction, and a conclusion (plus a bibliography). You will select three units from the course outline to focus on (e.g. urban geography, cultural geography, etc.). For each unit you will choose a small site (e.g. a playground, shop, public square, school, café, living room, temple, theatre, park) in Metro Vancouver and apply the concepts and vocabulary from the unit (readings + lectures) to your observations at the location. To do this, you must visit the place and spend at least one hour closely observing (looking, listening, smelling, touching, making sketches, taking photos, and possibly speaking to people) and taking notes . You will use your observations to illustrate the concepts/vocabulary from the unit you selected. At the same time, you are using geographical concepts to help you understand what you observe. You will record your reflections and observations in a journal entry. Your journal entry will connect the location and your observations to the concepts in the unit. Do not take anything for granted! As you will discover, even apparently minor features (a table, a photograph, a tree, a plaque, a glass of milk, a lamp, mementos, a bee) are important. Look for relationships between space, place, identity, and power. How can geographic concepts help you understand such interactions? Although your analysis will take into account landscape and humans (as well as other living beings), you may choose to focus on landscape/objects or human behaviour (rather than both). The three sites: -one must be a room in the apartment/house in which you currently live -one must be in the neighbourhood in which you live (e.g. Kits, Mount Pleasant, Guildford) -one can be anywhere in Metro Vancouver You will not be able to cover everything in the unit, but at least 2-3 key terms/concepts. You may use the same concepts that you used for the media assignment, but your analysis must be substantially different. Each journal entry must be 600-800 words. Indicate the date and time of your observation. Begin with a description of the place you observed, and then move into your analysis. Be sure to define the geographical concepts you use. If your paper contains maps, pictures or diagrams, label them clearly and refer to them in the text. For each journal entry you must also do some outside research using at least one scholarly source. You will use the scholarly source to add depth to your analysis and to incorporate what other scholars have said about the topics you are discussing. In addition to scholarly sources, you may use popular sources (e.g. website, novel, newspaper, movie) if you wish. Any time you use an idea from somebody else you must cite the source. Not doing so is plagiarism. Any citation style is acceptable as long as you are .

This activity will enable you to evaluate an example of music using a modified critical analysis outline. Choose one of the musical selections to analyze critically. You may access these pieces through the YouTube website: • Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony (Bernstein—Baviera 1/6) [Video file][9 min 10 sec] • Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor ( attr . J. S. Bach) [Video file][8 min 33 sec] • The Prayer (Foster, Bocelli, Dion; Live NYC Central Park, 2011) [Video file][5 min 18 sec] After choosing and listening to one of the selections, conduct research on one of the composers before writing your critical analysis outline. A minimum of two sources are required for this assignment. Because musical terminology can be difficult for those who have not had substantial training, use as a guide the modified critical analysis outline below rather than the one at the conclusion of Chapter 5. You may want to refer to Chapter 5 and the accompanying PowerPoint for any terms or concepts necessary in the analysis. Be sure to include all of the following points: • Classical form • Composer or vocalist biography (brief) • Background of the selection • Dynamics • Message or intended effect • Use of instruments or voices • Your personal response Be sure to include a convincing, inclusive conclusion at the end of your critical analysis and a bibliography of at least two sources that you used to prepare your analysis, one of which may be the class text. Do not use and cite Wikipedia. Instead, visit the Excelsior College Library to learn about academic sources. The page on Evaluating Information Evaluating Information includes helpful sections on "Print vs . Web Resources," Evaluation Criteria," Evaluation Scenarios," and "Media Literacy." Write a 500-750 word critical analysis. Follow the APA style, using the Excelsior College Library resources on learning to use APA Style. .

This article by Bernard Lewis asks important questions about why Middle Eastern countries are often ambivalent about modernization. In the process, he reviews the key elements that create modernity, the theme of this course. Many of the elements of the modern world system he discusses will now be familiar. Others, such as the role of individualism, the separation of church and state, and women’s rights, we have not had time to discuss. By creating this overview and asking what is uniquely part of Western culture and what is beyond culture, Lewis provides a capstone to the last three modules. His erudite musings help us ask: What is modernity? How did it come about? And where is it going? Read the information in the following article: Lewis, B. (1997). The West and the Middle East. Foreign Affairs. January/February. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/1997-01-01/west-and-middle-east Answer the following questions: What parts of the modern world does Lewis assign an origin in Western culture? What does Lewis mean by civil society? What part of the modern world developed in Islamic regions? What aspect of global modernity does Lewis believe has emerged from its identification with one or more cultures? SLP Assignment Expectations In the Module 4 SLP, you are expected to: Answer the questions clearly, using full sentences with correct grammar and spelling. Write one or two paragraphs on each question. .

This activity highlights the development of paper diagnostics—diagnostic tools that are inexpensive to make and simple to use. These devices are based on the widely expanding field of micro or nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). Microfluidic devices move fluid through channels and include inkjet printer heads, needles, and Lab-on-a-chip technologies. These devices are created using millimeter and nanometer components and are an important component of many nanotechnology and biotechnology research facilities. First: Watch: Laurie Garrett: Our failing global health system (21 minutes) George Whitesides: A lab the size of a postage stamp (17 minutes) Small Fixes: Paper Diagnostics Next, familiarize yourself with the following terms and their definitions: Paper Diagnostics: is a versatile, disposable test that can diagnose a tiny amount of urine or blood for evidence of infectious diseases or chronic conditions, designed to be made of paper. Microfluidics: is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, micro/nanotechnology, and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design of systems in which small volumes of fluids will be used (milliliters and nanoliters). Microfluidics emerged in the beginning of the 1980s and is used in the development of inkjet print heads, DNA chips, lab-on-a-chip technology, micro-propulsion, and micro-thermal technologies. Ethics/Social Responsibility: Strive to promote social good and prevent or mitigate social harms through research, public education, and advocacy. This is an important principle of scientific and engineering research. Lab on a chip: A lab on a chip is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single chip of only millimeters to a few square centimeters in size. Pandemic: A pandemic is an epidemic of infectious disease that is spreading through human populations across a large region—for instance, a continent or even worldwide. Capillary action or wicking: The movement of liquids through thin tubes or the flow of liquids through a porous media, such as the follow of water through soil. Finally, post to the discussion board your answers to the following questions: What are some of the problems (for example, societal, political, technological, and economic) with treating pandemics in the developing world? For the purposes of this activity, the developing world includes Africa, Central and South America, Eastern Europe and parts of Asia. How can nanotechnology be used to manage pandemics with these problems? .

Thinking Critically About Visuals “I Knew That Aliens Existed!” Examine the faces and body Language of people in the photo. Do you think they believe that this “alien” corpse is real? Do you think it might be real? Do you believe that alien life has visited earth? Why or why not? Let's examine the process of critical evaluation by thinking through a sample belief: “I believe that aliens have visited the earth in some form.” A Gallup Poll found that 42 percent of American college graduates believe that flying saucers have visited the earth in some form. Reasons/Evidence Authorities Many reputable people have seen UFOs and had personal encounters with aliens. The government has documented these in secret files, which include the UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Government attempts at concealment and cover-up have been transparent. Thinking Critically About Authorities Although many individuals have testified about alien encounters over the years, almost all scientific authorities have been extremely skeptical. They emphasize that all of the “evidence” is unsubstantiated, controversial, indirect, and murky—the markings of pseudoscientific fantasies. If aliens and UFOs exist, why haven't they announced their presence in an incontrovertible fashion? Some of the most intriguing evidence comes in the form of the government's belated and somewhat bizarre explanations for UFO sightings and the alleged Roswell incident. On June 25, 1997, the Air Force announced that the mysterious happenings in the New Mexico desert in the late 1940s and 1950s were in fact experiments involving crash dummies and weather balloons. Six weeks later, on August 3, 1997, the CIA “admitted” that the U.S. government had lied about alleged UFO sightings in the 1950s and 1960s to protect classified information regarding top-secret spy planes, the U-2 and SR-71. Why did the government suddenly attempt to explain these mysteries after all these years? And why does there appear to be contradictory testimony from different parts of the government? Why do the government explanations seem almost as fanciful and farfetched as the UFO stories? References There are many books supporting alien visitations and alien abductions. Thinking Critically About References Although many books regarding UFOs have been written, few have been more than unsubstantiated speculation. Philip J. Corso, who served on the National Security Council under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, contended in his book The Day After Roswell (Pocket Books, 1997) that he personally directed an army project that transferred to the military various types of technology recovered from the alien ship that crashed in the desert. To date, efforts to prove or disprove his account have been inconclusive. After reviewing written accounts and interviewing people claiming to be alien abductees, Dr. John Mack, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, came to the conclusion that many of these reports are true.

Thinking about the five steps in the creative process, identify how Jeff Bezos exemplified some or all of these steps in the creative process as elements of personal, political, and positional power to effect change in organizational culture. Step 1: Opportunity or problem recognition – a person discovers that a new opportunity exists or a problem needs to be resolved. The creative leader recognizes a successful way to commercialize this development. Step 2: Immersion – the individual concentrates on the problem and becomes immersed in solving it, collecting information and considering alternatives and solutions. Step 3: Incubation – the person keeps the assembled information top of mind and is engaged in solutions, even if on a subconscious level, while arranging the information into meaningful new patterns. Step 4: Insight – the person realizes a problem-conquering solution often in a random moment or unexpected time. He or she experiences an “Aha” moment in which information patterns fit into business solutions. Step 5: Verification and application – the individual attempts to prove that the creative solution has merit and business viability. The verification procedures include gathering supporting evidence, using logical persuasion, and experimenting with new ideas. The application process requires persistence and tenacity, as others tend to first reject most novel ideas as impractical. Instruction : Please compose a 3-5 paragraph response as identified above. Follow the rubric requirements (attached). Sources must be cited with APA format. Plagiarism is unacceptable. Must be less than 20% copied from source. .
