EUTHANASIA

/in /by

First, return to your topic chosen in the week three assignment. TOPIC: EUTHANASIA

  • Answer this question: What are the personal and/or communal ethical factors that may be involved in determining the moral position of either side in that debate?
  • Next, articulate and then evaluate the ethical positions  using Kantian ethics (that is, the categorical imperative) relative to the long standing debate (that is your topic chosen in the week three assignment).
  • Finally, create a complete annotated bibliography for 5 academic scholarly sources. You will annotate each source. The sources should be relevant to your topic chosen in the week three assignment.

Include the following:

  • Publication details
  • Annotation (a detailed reading of the source)

Each annotation section should include the following:

  • Summarize key points and identify key terms (using quotation marks, and citing a page in parentheses).
  • Describe the controversies or “problems” raised by the articles.
  • State whether you agree or disagree and give reasons.
  • Locate one or two quotations to be used in the final research project.
  • Evaluate the ways in which this article is important and has helped you focus your understanding.

Use the following as a model:

APA Reference
Mezirow, J. (2003). Transformative learning as discourse. Journal of Transformative Education, 1(1), 58-63.

Annotation Example
In this article, Mezirow (2003) makes a distinction between “instrumental” and “communicative” learning. “Instrumental learning” refers to those processes which measure and gauge learning, such as tests, grades, comments, quizzes, attendance records and the like. “Communicative learning,” on the other hand, refers to understanding created over time between individuals in what Mezirow calls “critical-dialectical-discourse,” (p. 59) which is a fancy way of saying, important conversation between 2 or more speakers. Another key idea Mezirow discusses is “transformative learning,” (p. 61) which changes the mind, the heart, the values and beliefs of people so that they may act better in the world. Mezirow argues that “hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse” (p. 59). On the one hand, he is right: there are some people who cannot fully engage because their crisis is so long and deep, they are prevented. But, I don’t think Mezirow should make the blanket assumption that everyone in unfortunate circumstances is incapable of entering the discourse meaningfully. One thing is certain: if we gave as much attention to the non-instrumental forms of intelligence–like goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, love, and other non-measured forms of intelligence in our school curriculums, we’d see better people, actors in the world, and interested investigators than we currently have graduating high school.

Career Planning

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, you must download and use the Career Planning Guide downloadtemplate to complete this assignment. Do not write a separate paper. This document serves as a guide as well as the template that you will submit for this assignment.

Career planning is an important step in your education as it allows you to consider your current skills and knowledge level. You then use that information to determine where you want to be in 10 years and what steps you must take to reach your goals. This assignment will help you explore your current strengths and weaknesses. It also allows you to consider the areas where there are opportunities and threats—in this case, potential roadblocks, in reaching your professional goals.

You will note in the document that the order of planning is a reflection on your current skills and knowledge first, then the 10-year goals, and then the 5-year goals. The purpose for this order is for you to determine where you are right now and where you want to be in 10 years. The 5-year goals are what you need to identify as steps towards reaching the 10-year goals.

“A feasibility analysis is a chance to open your eyes, ask yourself some very tough questions, then check to see whether your idea, as originally conceived, needs to be modified, refocused, or changed dramatically. (Or perhaps even scrapped altogether.)” (Abrams, as cited in Scarborough & Cornwall, 2015, p. 237).

Module 3 Discussion 2: Disease Analysis Journal

/in /by

Overview

In your exploration of readings this module, you will find articles of interest around the following areas: fluids, electrolytes, acid imbalances, urinary disorders, and reproductive system disorders. These may seem like unrelated systems; however, if one or more of these systems are off, our entire internal workings can be impacted. It is interesting to consider how these systems, when they are not in balance, can impact us not only physically, but also emotionally.

Instructions

  1. From the list of selected readings below, choose two with topics that you know the least about or are most interesting to you.
  2. Then search for, read, and incorporate other readings of your choice in your area of interest that focus on fluid and electrolyte imbalances, urinary system disorders, and/or reproductive disorders. You might include:
    • 1-2 journal articles or websites
    • Book chapters (past textbooks may be good options)
    • Your goal is to have a total of at least 60 pages of content read.  
  3. Your summary of each reading should be at least one paragraph (100-200 words) and include the following information:
    • All references must be cited using APA Style format. Please refer to the CCCOnline APA Citation Toolkit.
    • Number of pages read
    • Keywords you used to find the reading
    • A link to the reading
    • Why you selected the reading
    • The main point of the reading
    • Describe how the health deviations you read about alter normal physiology.
    • Provide your key takeaway from the reading. This could be something that made you pause, changed your thinking, supported your thinking, or made you question something. 
  4. In the last module, you explored material of your peers. Throughout the modules, you are collecting ideas, resources, and links to different sources of information. For this module you are going to find a resource that is NOT one you would recommend your peers use. Share the resource and/or link, and tell us why you think it is not a good resource.

Christianity and Workplace Ethics

Week 2 Discussion: Christianity and Workplace Ethics

“Christianity workplace ethics are inclusive to all walks of life and evolve with up and coming topics as generation evolve. Christians are very tolerable of most behavior however they stick closely to the influence of the Ten Commandments in the workplace. The framework suggests “management should create an environment conductive for harmonious relationship” (Ali et al., 2000). The give and take environment creates a natural respect in the workforce. As tone, moral and success come from the top down “management should be the model that inspires employees to achieve perfection in their work” (Ali et al., 2000). This type of framework partially compares to my current workplace ethics. They provide a lot of ethical training and really invest in a compassionate and professional environment however the communication has been lost in the upper management and it seems as though the evolution of the company translates to dollars, insurance, patients and cooperate demands rather than the equality, appreciation and further development of their company. The corporate policies and procedures have drifted away from the basic ethics that we all possess. Regardless of where an individual is on the totem pole I feel that is should always be a two way street to maintain a loyal relationship, trust and honesty between workplace staff.”
