Of the ethical theories described by Chism, which one or two do you think would be most effective in analyzing the following case scenario, and why/how.

Responses should be no longer than 2 pages in length. APA format and be sure to review the grading rubric posted.

Part I of Case:
Matthew is 24 years old. He is becoming more and more concerned about his increasing muscle weakness. He shares his anxieties privately with his PCP who refers him to the hospital for further tests. The tests confirm that Matthew is suffering from Myotonic Dystrophy. However, his PCP assures him that at least for the time being, this condition should not affect his life very much. Myotonic Dystrophy is a disease that is inherited. This means that one of Matthew’s parents must carry the defective gene that is causing the disease. It could mean that many other members of the wider family could be affected. Even if their own condition is mild, they could pass it on to their children in a very severe and even fatal form.

Discussion question#1:
Does Matthew’s family have a right to know about the risk that they are under?
What is the role of the DNP in the patient’s life? In the family’s life?

Part II of Case:
Matthew does tell his family. His sister, Melanie, decides to be tested. She discovers that she is genetically positive for Myotonic Dystrophy. There is a 50/50 chance that she has passed it on to her 4-year-old son Thomas.

Discussion question#2:
Should Melanie arrange for Thomas to be tested?
What is the role of the DNP in the patient’s life? In the family’s life?

Tips: Apply the ethical theory you would use in the scenario and how you would use it to come to a decision. Be sure to support for your claims. Challenge the thoughts as Doctor Prepared Nurse Practitioner vs. Mathew, Mathew’s Family, and Melanie. Utilize the texts and articles attached to support discussion.

You are to interview a property manager and submit a written account of the interview. This interview can be in person, telephone or via e-mail. You will prepare a list of questions to discuss with the Property Manager during the first 4 weeks of the class. Your interview can take place anytime during weeks 5 through 7. The report is due at the end of Week 7. This will count 25% toward your final grade and is in lieu of a midterm and final exam. If you cannot (or choose not to) find a Property Manager to interview, you may submit a topic for my approval for a research paper instead. The research paper will be at least 10 pages in length and address a relevant topic such as Fair Housing, Role and Responsibilities of a Property Manager, etc.

Please Note: All student papers are automatically submitted to Turnitin.

Select ONE of the CBRN categories, then pick ONE particular agent from that category and based on our readings this term, place yourself in the role of a terrorist and offer your perspective of how a terrorist event could be conducted in your hometown, then provide your perspective on how to prevent such an attack and support your work by a variety of academic material to give your opinion more validity.

Your essay should approximately 5 pages. You will need to have a cover page or the reference page; however, they are NOT included in the page count for your essay. All references should be cited using APA format. Be sure to make a clear thesis statement and argument and use examples to support your analysis. Papers should be double spaced.

No abstract is required.

Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize: books, peer reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc. and valid web sites (use caution with these).

Save your work as a Microsoft Word document entitled ‘YourLastNamewk8.doc’ (i.e., Smith1.doc) and upload this document as your assignment.

Your work should consist of (I encourage you to even use these as headings if you would like):

Introduction (this will have a well-defined purpose statement in your intro paragraph that provides guidance to the reader about what you are going to cover in your paper.)
Selected CBRN Agent background
Proposed Terrorist Scenario
Prevention Strategy(s)
Conclusion

From Chapter 6:

1. What crucial concept sets out the relationship between God and the Hebrew people? What impact did this concept have on the Judeo-Christian worldview? Be specific and detailed. Cite (MLA in-text) the pages in the textbook throughout your response to support your assertions.

From Chapter 7:

2. What is the significance of the icon in the Orthodox Church? By what technique is an icon created? Be specific and detailed. Cite (MLA in-text) the pages in the textbook throughout your response to support your assertions.

This activity examines two key aspects, one from a close reading of Chapter 6 and the other from a close reading of Chapter 7. Demonstrate your understanding of the material in these two chapters by answering the following questions in specific detail. Responses must be well-developed for depth of discussion and critical detail. Responses must include MLA citation format of the supporting source (textbook only) material throughout the response as it is used. Responses that are inaccurate, are improperly paraphrased, or are uncited will receive NO credit.

Sample Question: What do the characters of Achilles (Iliad) and Odysseus (Odyssey) reveal about Greek warrior culture? What did ancient Greeks value in a warrior? What qualities did each character have that set them apart? Be specific and detailed. Cite (MLA in-text) the pages in the textbook throughout your response that supports your assertions.

Note: All responses will automatically be submitted to Vericite, a plagiarism application in Canvas.

Sample Answer: Achilles, the hero of the Iliad, is the ultimate fighting machine–skilled and powerful (52). No one wields a spear or sword better than he does. However, he puts his wounded pride before winning the war for the Greeks (52). Odysseus, the hero of the Odyssey, is also a skilled warrior, but he’s no Achilles. Yet, Odysseus is crafty and resourceful (55). He’s the “thinking man’s” warrior. If it were possible to combine Achilles’ prowess in battle with Odysseus’ cleverness, the Greeks would have the ideal warrior–powerful and dangerous, but very clever indeed.

Note: What you see above is a response that is properly paraphrased–expressed entirely in my own words–but is also correctly supported with evidence from the textbook to validate it. Note carefully that the period goes AFTER the citation. Your responses should model this. Responses that are not cited or are not properly paraphrased will receive no credit.

Also Note: the example provided shows how to cite a printed textbook. Some of you, however, may have an electronic copy of the textbook, which means there will not be page numbers provided. So! Here’s how to do it:

(Cunningham, et al. Chapter 4, “Imperial Architecture”).

What you see it the last name of the first author of the course textbook followed by a comma and the Latin words et al (meaning: “and others”) in italics followed by a period. Then state the textbook chapter in which the information is found followed by a comma. After the comma, the title of the specific section in which the information is found is placed in quotation marks. A period goes AFTER the parenthetical citation and ends the sentence.

Remember–you must cite the specific information, facts, and details from the textbook throughout your answers as it is used. Be sure to look at the example provided.

All written work is to be college level in style and content. Revise carefully!

(3). YOUR THREAD INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARAGRAPH FINAL DRAFT.
You will edit and revise your prewriting paragraph into a well-constructed, final paragraph. The paragraph must be double-spaced with 12-point font and include proper capitalization, spelling, punctuation, word usage, and sentence structure. The paragraph must be a single paragraph of 200–400 words and show evidence of revisions made based on your editing skills and the professor’s feedback from the prewriting assignment.

Film Analysis Choose one of the following six movies: Coco, Eighth Grade, Inside Out, Mean Girls, Moonlight, Stand By Me. Watch (or re-watch) that movie, and identify a salient scene or theme that relates to an aspect of (real-world) social, emotional or personality development in childhood or adolescence. How is that portrayed in the film? Whether implicit or explicit, what claim about developmental psychology is being made in that part of the movie?Using at least one developmental theory and two empirical articles published in one of the approved peer-reviewed journals, analyze the accuracy of the film’s portrayal of that aspect of development. Is the claim of the film justified? Why or why not?

The classification of bacteria aims to satisfy two objectives:

1. The description of taxa such that strains and isolates can be reliably identified with a particular genus or species – phenetic classification. This forms the basis of diagnostic bacteriology and can be regarded as a practical or working classification that emphasises pragmatism.

2. The description of relationships between taxa that reflect their origins and evolution – phylogenetic classification. This only became possible with the advent of sequencing technology for macromolecules, principally nucleic acids, which if properly targetted can reveal homology between taxa that are phenetically remote.

In this session, we aim to explore the diversity and inter-relationships of bacterial genera from both standpoints.

Each student will give a short (5 minutes) oral presentation of the properties of the genus assigned and also establish the phylogenetic position of that genus (10%). Each student will also submit a ca.1000 word written report on that genus (10%). The written report must be submitted via Turnitin in Vital by Thursday 1st November.

Use the genus description given in Bergeys Manuals of either Determinative or Systematic Bacteriology if possible. Failing this, you should be able to discover the basic properties of your assigned genus by reference to Journal papers and reviews, or alternative reference texts such as “The Prokaryotes” (2006, ed. M. Dworkin) which is available as an E-book on the university library website.

In “Our Time,” John Edgar Wideman writes of “the forces arrayed against” (432) his brother Robby, and argues that many of his difficulties were attributable to pressures placed on Robby by his community and culture that was rooted in a history of racism and oppression. We have discussed on-line, to some extent, the level of gains made by minorities in the twenty years since the events in “Our Time” took place; some of you have argued that these have been significant, but others would contend they haven’t made that much of a difference. What would John Berger say about this, and the difficulty each of us have had in changing the ways we see members of all communities? What keeps us from changing those viewpoints, and are those viewpoints responsible for keeping people (and points of view) in a place? Are there “formidable forces” arrayed against each of us in our society that make and map the paths we take in our lives?
While reading “Our Secret,” you saw that Susan Griffin arrives at some of the same conclusions about how we are shaped and affected by our families, communities, and our histories, both private and public. (Indeed, one of her most passionate arguments is that we are affected by histories we don’t even know.) To put it in Berger’s terms, powerful forces are at work in shaping “what we know and believe” and, of course, what we know and believe affects everything we see, and, according to Griffin, everyone we see.

You have three options for this assignment, ranked here from least difficult to most:

1. For your first assignment, you discussed a time when someone or something had power over you, and how you came to understand and respond to that power. For this assignment, I would like you to take a look at yourself or someone you know and care for and how you or that other person is affected by the larger expectations placed on you by society. You may use the Berger essay, the Wideman essay, or the Griffin essay to develop your essay, but you should try to use the principles of two of them to help you discuss your experience. What are the “formidable forces” at work in the experience you describe? Who or what is responsible for their creation, and how do you or the person you’re describing respond to them? Do you fight them? give into them? a combination of both?
You’ll have to use your imagination here, at least in an intellectual sense, to both describe your experience and consider how it fits into a societal or cultural scheme that in part shaped that experience. The connections between the personal and cultural need not be literal or complete; they aren’t made so in either “Our Time” or “Our Secret.” But both Wideman and Griffin see their families and their communities for the mysteries they are, while acknowledging that these mysteries are largely shaped and reared in a culture’s expectations of what a family is, what a community is, what a country is. I’d like to see you attempt to do the same in your own essay. Remember, call on Berger and Griffin or Wideman (or all three) to push your discussion forward, using their essays as context to access your own. This is a must if you take this option.

2. Consider the issue of individual responsibility for criminal behavior in light of the Wideman essay and Griffin essays. Both Wideman and Griffin, though in vastly different ways, want to argue that environment does contribute to the decisions people make for themselves, both criminal and otherwise, and Griffin goes so far as to suggest that we, ourselves, are in some small way responsible or at least connected to events, criminal and otherwise, that occur half-way across the globe. Has your reading and Wideman and Griffin affected in any way your perception of criminal responsibility? And are their possibilities for genuine redemption for criminals who commit heinous acts?” Can you apply current international circumstances to a discussion of either the Wideman or Griffin texts? Write an essay that explores the issue of criminal responsibility and how it is shaped (or isn’t shaped) by exterior forces, using Griffin and Wideman to extend and develop your discussion. Don’t forget to establish a clear thesis stating your perspective early in the essay.

3. Taken from “Ways of Reading”: “It is useful…to think about Griffin’s prose as the enactment of a method, as a way of doing a certain kind of intellectual work. One way to study this, to feel its effects, is to imitate it, to take it as a model. For this assignment, write a Griffin-like essay, one similar in its methods of organization and argument. You will need to think about the stories you might tell, about the stories and texts you might gather ([some of which are] not your own). As you write, you will want to think carefully about arrangement and about commentary (about where, that is, you will speak to your reader as the writer of the piece). You should not feel bound to Griffin’s subject matter, but you should feel that you are working in her spirit.” (268).

This essay should be a minimum of 1000 words long.

Write a 750-word (about 3 pages) response to each question.

 

Your answers should not be formal essays. You can skip introductions, conclusions, and all “filler.” Your answer should be formatted this way:

• Paragraph 1: ANSWER THE QUESTION (or state your response’s main point)

• Use the rest of your answer paragraphs to explain as precisely as you can how you get to that answer. Do this by interpreting textual evidence and then explaining the ways in which your interpretation(s) of your evidence supports your answer. Show your thinking. The goal is not the “correct” answer; the goal is an analysis that reveals your thinking. Your ability to move through and document your thinking process is key here.

Obviously, Paragraph 1 (your answer stated clearly) cannot be written until you know your answer. Don’t try to formulate your answer backwards, i.e. don’t write an answer that requires you to then, after the fact of your answer, make evidence “fit” your answer. Figure out what you know using textual evidence first so that you come to a strong answer, an answer that truly reflects what you know and think. Writing that first paragraph last might be a good idea—depending upon your own study and writing habits of course.

Watch out for repetition and/or a lack of interpretation of textual evidence. Use language fully and yet economically (this cuts down on repetition). Think hard about the textual evidence you use to make sure you’re using the right evidence to support your response and explain how you understand the textual evidence as leading to, or being a part of, your overall argument.

1. Use Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding model to write a partial analysis of either “Eighth Grade” or “Sorry to Bother You.” Explain one aspect of encoding and one aspect of decoding as they attach to either film. Then use those 2 aspects of Hall’s model to describe what happens at the determinate, discursive moment in which meaning materializes (when those 2 aspects you’ve chosen to interrogate meet). So, your first paragraph (answer) should explain how these 2 aspects, when considered together, make X, Y, or Z meaning(s) occur. The Hall essay is key here, so know it well.

2. Watch the trailer for the film “55 Steps.” The text from which you will derive your answer to this question is this trailer (also often called a “preview)—not the full-length film. So, take this trailer as your text. Use one of the following quotations from thinkers you have studied so far in the course as a way of thinking through the text, analyze an aspect of the trailer. Again, your first paragraph should contain a succinct but thorough description of the results of your analysis.

…each new class which puts itself in the place of one ruling before it, is compelled,
merely in order to carry through its aim, to represent its interest as the common interest of
all the members of society, that is, expressed as an ideal form: it has to give its ideas the
form of universality, and represent them as the only rational, universally valid ones.
Karl Marx, “The German Ideology”

A style might be called artificial which is imposed from without on the refractory impulses of a form. But in the culture industry every element of the subject matter has its origin in the same apparatus as that jargon whose stamp it bears.
Adorno and Horkheimer, “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception”

What is represented in ideology is therefore not the system of the real relations which govern the existence of individuals, but the imaginary relation of those individuals to the real relations in which they live.
Louis Althusser, “Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses (Notes towards an Investigation)”
