Consequentialism-Case Study

The textbook provides a template for analyzing ethical dilemmas using “consequentialism.” (I have attach these pages at the end of the homework). A hypothetical case is provided, the template outlined (Utilitarian Evaluation of Ethical Dilemmas), and then the application of that template to the case is demonstrated (Applying Utilitarianism).  A summary follows at the end of that illustrative analysis.  Study this sample case and application of the template (and summary commentary) carefully.

You are presented with a new case for study and discussion.

Your assignment is to take the “consequentialism” template (box Utilitarian Evaluation of Ethical Dilemmas) and apply it to the new case.

Lastly, address this final question:  How well do you feel that consequentialism guided ethical decision making in this case?  Remember, this is to be answered from your perspective, as persons analyzing the ethical choices in this case.  Had you been in the “hot seat”, would consequentialism be helpful in guiding your decisions?  Be thoughtful and thorough in this assessment of how the theoretical material helps a criminal justice professional make ethical choices.

Essential Health Services

The future of public health will be shaped by the competencies of the people who work to ensure the health and safety of the population. These people will need to be leaders, and they may find support from organizations that are in place to protect the well-being of the population.

In the United States, public health functions are provided by not only the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or state and local government bodies but also by NGOs, schools, and a myriad of professional organizations and interest groups. For example, the alphabet soup of contributors to health policy development, assessment, and assurance includes:

  • The National Association of City and County Health Officers (NACCHO)
  • The Association of State and Territorial Health Officers (ASTHO)
  • The National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBO)
  • The American Public Health Association (APHA)
  • The National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI)
  • The Public Health Foundation (PHF)

Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and Internet sources, research the 10 essential public health services. Then, respond to the following:

  • Describe the mission and vision of a public health organization that you either work for or are interested in learning more about.
  • Review and list the ten essential public health services.
  • Does your chosen public health organization utilize the ten essential public health services?
  • Provide examples of the ten essential public health services that are made available by your chosen organization to their patients. Support your answer with references.
