Determine what the source’s purpose is, and how it arrives at that goal. Examine its value to you and the project you are working on. How will it help you prove your own points?

/in /by

Select one of the sources you have found through your preliminary research about your research topic.

Which source you choose is up to you; however, it should be substantial enough that you will be able to talk about it at length, and intricate enough that it will keep you (and your reader) interested.

The introduction of this paper will involve introducing the source: Provide the author, the title, and the context (where you found the source, where it was originally published, who sponsored it, etc.)

You will then go on to evaluate the source on two levels:

1. Credibility: Using the information in this unit as a guide, evaluate the source’s authenticity and reliability. Look at all the information that you can find about the source to establish the author’s (or sponsor’s) trustworthiness.

2. Usefulness: Using a combination of summary and analysis, examine the source on a critical level. Determine what the source’s purpose (thesis) is, and how it arrives at that goal. Examine its value to you and the project you are working on. How will it help you prove your own points? How might it come in handy to back up a claim (or address a counter-claim)?Finally, you will include a conclusion which shows your final assessments on both counts.

Requirements:

– Composition must be 2-3 pages (approximately 500-750 words).
– Double-space the composition and use one-inch margins.
– Use a readable 12-point font.
– All writing must be appropriate for an academic context.
– Composition must be original and written for this assignment.
– Submission must include your name, the name of the course, the date, and the title of your composition.
Include all of the assignment components in a single file.
Acceptable file formats include .doc and .docx.

In a 3-5 page paper, address the ethics issues a parent should consider in making a decision about vaccination.

/in /by

The issue of childhood vaccinations has engendered strong feelings on both sides. Those who support vaccinating children against an array of communicable childhood diseases, some with serious long term consequences for the child, do so on the grounds that they protect the individual children and prevent the spread of such diseases to other children, a serious public health issue. Those who oppose vaccinating their children do so because they believe vaccinations are not safe and pose health risks for their child. They argue that the decisions regarding children’s health care should rest with the parents. An increasing number of states are making the vaccination of school-age children mandatory.

For this assignment, we are not concerned with whether there should be legally enforceable compulsory vaccination; rather, in a 3-5 page paper, address the ethics issues a parent should consider in making a decision about vaccination. Develop argument(s) for and/or against vaccinating children from two of the following perspectives: consequentialism/utilitarianism, deontology/moral rules, and the ethics of responsibility/care. Which argument do you find most persuasive? Your paper should evidence your understanding of each of these moral frameworks. (Note: The 3-5 page count is exclusive of the title page if any but inclusive of a references page).

  1. Reading Summaries require that you read a primary source selection from the end of each chapter, then write a short summary that identifies the thesis and outlines the main argument. Reading summaries are not about your opinion or perspective – they are expository essays that explain the content of the reading. All reading summaries must include substantive content based on the students reading of the material.

3.When writing Reading Summaries, you may not quote the author without proper citations. In other words, if you use the exact words of the original author (copy-paste) you MUST do a proper citation. Similarly, if you use any other website (such as Wikipedia, Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, etc.) you must cite the source

Problem Based Learning/Field Assignment
You are expected to conduct a 10 – 15 minutes personal interview with at least two public officials;
1. A top executive-level official to mid-level administrator – (e.g., a Governor or Lt. Governor, a Sheriff, a university president, head of a public/non profit organization, or any relatively high level position in government, a county administrator, a city manager, a city mayor or any relatively mid-level position in government), and
2. A field administrator/bureaucrat delivering services at the grass-roots/street level – (e.g. a police officer, fire-fighter, teacher, postman or any street-level position in government).
The aim of the exercise is to explore and highlight real-life ethical dilemma, to gain valuable insights as to how real life ethical issues are dealt with in the public sector, and to share with the class the varying approaches taken by public officials. Taking notes is essential because your work must be based on substantial information. However, confidential information and names should not be revealed without prior consent of the interviewees.
Please use the following questions as a guide:
1. As a public official, have you ever encountered any ethical problems or issue that you had to address in your capacity as? (If the answer to this question is no, discontinue the interview and find another public servant to interview)
2. Could you explain to me as clearly as possible the details of an ethical problem/concern you have experienced? What exactly happened?
3. Was the problem resolved?
4. How did you address such a situation? Please explain
5. Were there any lessons to be learned from this experience? If so, what were the lessons learned?
Students are expected to prepare a total of 1-4 page(s) concise written response of the ethical dilemma faced by the two public officials interviewed. You are expected to summarize the interviews and discuss how you would have addressed the ethical dilemmas identified.
