Ethics week 4 discussion post

Your trial was fair – you were represented by an attorney and the jury was not coerced in their decision.
The jury’s guilty verdict was unanimous.
Your representation was fair, i.e., you were represented by a competent attorney (not a first-year law student) who had adequate time and resources to develop your case.
You believe that your attorney truly had your best interest in mind – and perhaps s/he even believed you were not guilty.
You do not need to be concerned with the fact that you may appear to be guilty if you flee.
The prison in which you will be incarcerated is a federal penitentiary, not a federal prison with “white collar criminals.”
Your main discussion prompt: If you had a chance to escape and flee to another country (or remain in hiding in the USA), would you do so?

Consider and discuss the following:

1. Do you believe that you have a “social contract” with the United States, similar to that described by Socrates in the Crito?

2. If you HAVE entered into a social contract with the US, what should you do based on Social Contract Theory?

3. What do you think you actually would do?

If you believe you DO have a social contract with US in #2 but would choose to escape and break that contract, explain why. How would you justify your escape?
4. Would a different punishment warrant different behavior on your part, e.g., would you make the same choice if your prison sentence was only 1 year?

5. Finally, if this case was applied to your sibling or child, what would you counsel him/her to do?

Classical theory and one Contemporary theory

1. Choose an article from a newspaper, magazine, or news website that was published on or after September 1, 2021. The article must be about a current event. The event can be happening anywhere in the world The article can come from an international news source as long as it is written in English.Pick something that really interests you!2. Choose one classical theory and one contemporary theory:Classical Contemporary Conflict Theory Critical Race Theory Functionalism Feminist Theory Symbolic Interactionism Post-Colonial Theory Post-Structuralist Theory Queer Theory Western Marxism3.

Write 1,000-1,500 words explaining how each of the two theories that you chose would explain the current event and making an argument for which of the two theories you think provides the best explanation for the event. You should not rely on direct quotations to explain your theories and make your arguments. Writing in your own words demonstrates your understanding of the material.

Introduction (100-150 words) This should be a concise paragraph that briefly introduces the reader to the current event you will be discussing, the theories you will use, and your argument.  It’s kind of like a teaser or a coming attraction for a movie, except that in sociological research we expect there to be spoilers! You should include a brief mention of your conclusion.

Event (150-200 words) Give a concise explanation of the current event that you have chosen to analyze, It needs to have enough detail so that a reader unfamiliar with it will be able to follow your argument. Even if it’s something that you’re pretty sure everybody already knows about, you have to pretend that we don’t. Explain it to us as though we are hearing about it for the first time.

Classical Theory (200-300 words) A brief explanation of your chosen classical theory. Again, assume that we don’t know anything about the theory (even though you know we do). An explanation of how this classical theory would explain the current event you chose and why.

Contemporary Theory (200-300 words) A brief explanation of your chosen contemporary theory. Can you guess what’s coming? Yes, assume we know nothing about it. An explanation of how this contemporary theory would explain the current event and why.

Argument (300-400 words) Tell us which of the two theories you think best helps explain the issue and why. Tell us why the other theory isn’t as good at explaining the issue.  Explain your argument very clearly, being specific about why you agree/disagree with a theory and/or what weaknesses/strengths you see it offered.

Conclusion (100-150 words) Sum up your paper with a paragraph that reiterates your main points.

Reference List (not included in word count) Provide complete citations for any works that you referred to in your assignment, in ASA style.

Modifying Lesson Plan

An essential part of being a special educator is writing and implementing IEPs and lesson plans associated with goals on IEPs. Due to legal requirements, special educators should understand the steps that go into planning effective lessons and appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities. Being able to translate IEP goals into learning objectives and accompanying lessons requires practice.

Review “Marcus Partial IEP and Lesson” to inform the assignment.

Upon reviewing the Present Level of Performance and the second grade literacy-based standards, create one academic goal specific to Marcus’ needs. Include this academic goal within the “Lesson Summary and Focus” section of the “COE Lesson Plan Template.”

Design a standards-based lesson plan, using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” that modifies and extends skills taught in Marcus’ sample lesson plan and is aligned to his identified academic goal.

Write a 250-500 word rationale explaining your instructional choices, how your lesson extends the skills taught in the “Sample Lesson Plan” for Marcus, and how the lesson is appropriate for meeting Marcus’ academic goal. Discuss how elements of UDL will be incorporated to enhance Marcus’ learning.

THE TROUBLE WITH GRIT

Questions
1 An equality view dictates we treat all students equally. This is the view Ms. Grady has applied to her homework policy when it comes to Samantha. How might her perspective change if she adopted an equity view instead, taking stock of the
barriers and challenges individual students experience and crafting policy to be responsive to those barriers and challenges?

2 Do you agree with Ms. Grady that Samantha is displaying a lack of grit by not turning in her homework? Why or why not? In what ways is Samantha demonstrating grit and resilience?

3 Mr. Burns worries that Ms. Grady and several of his other colleagues have a deficit view of families experiencing poverty, tending to attribute conditions like Samantha not turning in her homework to supposed deficiencies in those
families. How might taking the deficit view force us into misunderstandings of the challenges and barriers students like Samantha face at school?
