Abortion

Abortion

Paper instructions:
Thomson apparently believes that, at least in many cases, an abortion performed when the mother’s life is not threatened by the pregnancy would not be unjust. What does she need to do in order to establish this?
Does she succeed?
Further explanation of this task:
You need to provide a satisfactory discussion of the answers to those questions.

In order to do this you will need to understand the whole of Thomson’s article and the whole of the critical discussion of it in the Study Guide.

…….

But the question is not about the whole of Thomson’s case.

You will need to identify those particular portions of Thomson’s case which are relevant to this question, and then critically examine those portions.

You will be discussing whether the relevant arguments in Thomson’s article are good or bad.
Rationale
The essay allows you to display your grasp of the philosophical discussion of the relevant topic.
It requires you to show that you understand this discussion, and that you can critically assess it.
Marking criteria
This task (like the task for Assessment Item 1) involves a number of distinct elements. They include the following:
(1) You need to identify the relevant argument that Thomson needs to provide, and you need to show why this argument is needed.

(2) You need to critically evaluate whether Thomson’s actual arguments succeed in doing what’s needed.

(3) You need to present your essay in a well organised discussion written in good clear English.

Overall, you need to do your best to show that you have critically mastered the relevant discussion in the study materials, in the way described for Assessment Item 1 (above). (Note in particular the need to distinguish what is relevant from what is irrelevant to this prescribed question.)
The performance of the task will be graded according to the following marking scheme:
HD High Distinction (85-100%)
Each of the elements 1, 2 and 3 (above) has been performed outstandingly well. You have thoroughly mastered the relevant discussion in the study materials, distinguishing it very clearly from what is not relevant to this particular discussion. And you have presented it very clearly yourself, demonstrating that you are thinking about it with some sophisticated critical independence.
DI Distinction (75-84%)
Overall the task has been performed very well, but one or more of elements 1, 2 and 3 has not been performed outstandingly well. You display a good, solid grasp of the relevant discussion, and the ability to think about it with some real critical independence. But, for example, though you have mastered the statement and critical examination of the argument, your writing could be improved. Or, though your essay is beautifully written, your critical evaluation could be extended, or refined, or polished further. And so on.
CR Credit (65-74%)

…….

Overall the task has been performed creditably, but one or more of elements 1, 2 and 3 could be considerably improved. You show a fairly good grasp of the relevant discussion, and a fairly good attempt to assess it with critical independence. But, for example, though the meat of your discussion is good, your writing could be considerably improved. Or, your critical evaluation of the relevant argument could be substantially extended, or refined. Or, you may have introduced irrelevant material into your discussion, or omitted some relevant material. And so on.
PS Pass (50-64%)
Overall the task has been performed satisfactorily, but not better than satisfactorily. You show an adequate grasp of the relevant discussion, but one or more of elements 1, 2 and 3 could be substantially improved. For example, your writing, though intelligible, needs to be considerably improved. Or your presentation or critical evaluation of the relevant argument could be substantially improved through a clearer or less confused grasp of the material, or through a clearer application of the techniques of the analysis of argument, or by being extended to include omitted points. Or you may display some substantial confusion over the distinction between relevant and irrelevant material. And so on.
FL Fail (0-49%)
Overall the task has been performed unsatisfactorily. One or more of elements 1, 2 and 3 has been performed so unsatisfactorily that, however well the other elements have been performed, the essay is inadequate. For example, your writing is too far below the required standard. Or though you display some understanding of the material, your essay shows serious confusions. Or you have omitted major points. And so on.
NB The feedback provided on your essay will show in detail why your essay is assessed as deserving the grade as described in the scheme above.

It is a personal essay where i have to portray my personal perceptions, reactions and thoughts so by adding these examples comment on them.





CJ 2241 Survey of Criminal Law

April 25, 2018 1 Comment Uncategorized

) This case was about a Swat team in Los Angles who raided and house of 73 year old women (Millender) and had them standing outside for 4 hrs. The search came about from a story several days earlier when Jerry Lee Bowen who was Millender foster son shot several shots at his girlfriend who told the police that he may be hiding at his foster mother’s house. Even though the police veteran (Messerschmidt) never asked of any other places Bowen could have who why she believed that he was there? Instead Messerschmidt watched the house for 2 days but never spotted Bowen. On the 3rd day they  spoke with both adults of the house which was Mrs. Millender and her 47 year old daughter  telling them there was individuals gambling in front of their house but they never mention Bowen nor did they spot him at that time.
Messerschmidt then submitted and affidavit and warrant requesting permission to arrest Bowen and to search Mrs. Millender residence. In his report he gave detailed information regarding the incident with the girlfriend and specific information about Bowen and the weapon he used. He also included that Bowen was affiliated with a local street gang.  In his report he felled to mention that they had watched the they had watched the house for 3 days before the search warrant was requested. He felled to mention that during their watch Bowen was never spotted at Mrs. Millender’s home and that it belonged to her.  
 …….

….
The basics of this case is that Messerschmidt affidavit sought authorization to search a home where he knowingly has not had the probable cause for the warrant nowhere in the girlfriends statement did it say anything about gang activity or him being a part of a gang that shot at her, but she did state that he lived there with her and not with his previous foster mother. The girlfriend gave specific information about the weapon that was used against her but in Messerschmidt affidavit he sought all of the wrong things. Like establishing identify of the person in control of the premises, all firearms and related items, and evidence showing gang membership.  They never found Bowen his shot gun but they seized Mrs. Millenders box of ammunition to a .45 caliber which was legally registered to her. When all was said and done they went back to the girlfriend and asked if she knew where Bowen could be and she said a local motel where he was spotted and arrested.  Mrs. Millender filed a violation of her 4th amendment because the warrant was lack of probable cause and she won the case.
2)Minnesota v. Dickerson 508 U.S. 366 1993
In this case and officer was performing a pat down of Mr. Dickerson while stopped in a known drug area. During the “stop and search” the officer felt a lump in Mr. Dickerson’s jacket. The pat down was supposed to be for weapons, but the officer felt confident that the lump was an illegal substance. The officer then reached into Mr. Dickerson’s jacket and discovered that the object was cocain. Being that the search was warrantless and it was only for weapons, the Supreme Court ruled that the evidence was obtained in a manner that went beyond what was acceptable through Terry v. Ohio and would not be admissible in the case.
…….

3)
Florida V. Jimeno, 500 U.S. 248
Suspect Jimeno was stopped for a traffic infraction, the officer who was followng Jimeno overheard what appeared to be a drug transaction, the officer believed that Jmeno was carrying drugs in the car, and asked permission to search Jimeno car. Jimeno consented and the officer found cocaine in a folded bag. Jimeno was charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine, but the state trial court granted his motion to suppress the cocaine on the ground that hs consent to search the car did not carry with it specific consent to open the bag and examine its contents.
4)One notable Florida case surrounding “consent” to search is Bostick v. State, 554 So.2d 1153 (Fla. 1989).  Terrance Bostick was on board a bus scheduled to travel from Miami to Atlanta.  Two officers boarded the bus and began questioning occupants relating to drug offenses.  Terrance was approached by the officers and provided his ticket and identification which matched.  He was then asked permission to search his belongings for narcotics.  Bostick allegedly consented to search of his bags which contained a quantity of cocaine.  Bostick filed a Motion to Suppress in the trial court alleging a violation of his 4th Amendment rights.  The trial court denied and the Defendant entered a plea and was convicted.  Bostick appealed to the District Court which affirmed his conviction.  He then appealed to the Florida Supreme Court which ruled in his favor.  The Florida Supreme Court issued an opinion detailing: “seizure is not limited to physical custody but may be effected by “the threatening presence of several officers, the display of a weapon by an officer, some physical touching of the person of the citizen, or the use of language or tone of voice indicating that compliance with the officer’s request might be compelled.”  This case is particularly important in Florida because it deals with the voluntariness of an offender’s “consent.”
5) 

In Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004), the SCOTUS ruled that if a person is detained for a Terry Stop any statute that required him or her to identify himself or herself did not violate the Fourth Amendment.  Hiibel came about in 200 when Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding a fight between a man and woman.  Hiibel was seen in the area, standing beside a truck with a woman sitting inside of it.  The Deputy noticed skid marks behind the vehicle indicating it had come to a sudden stop.  The Deputy approached the man and explained why he was searching the area.  Deputy then asked for identification from the man who protested.  He was eventually arrested and found guilty of “willfully resist[ing], delay[ing], or obstruct[ing] a public officer in discharging or attempting to discharge any legal duty of his office.”5  He appealed it through the Nevada Court System and ended up in D.C.  The Court ruled that the “Nevada statute is [narrow] and precise” enough to keep it from being vague and/or ambiguous.  That helped it fall squarely within the previously-established guidelines of Terry.

Continuous improvement in health care

April 25, 2018 1 Comment Uncategorized


As health care looks at continuous improvement (as done in manufacturing), one of the most prominent questions that has arisen is, “Can the principles that worked in manufacturing really transfer over to health care? Taking care of a patient is not like building a car on an assembly line. Can standardized processes really work in a setting that focuses on humans and their needs?”

student & must be submitted to answering the questionl instruction.
i. Read the question carefully before starting your research. Ensure that your
essay is well proof-read, that the
argument flows well and logically, and that you have specifically answered the question throughout. Do
not include
extraneous material; keep to the spirit of the essay question.
ii. ‘Specifically answering the question’ means that you are
keeping focus on the relevant subject matter all the
way through the essay. An essay that tends to NOT answer the question would explain
economic theory in the
abstract (with no link back to the questionlinstruction), or talk about some issue of irrelevance.
b. Have the assignment ready before the due date and time. Late penalties are outlined in the unit outline.
c. Your essay must be: single-spaced, paragraphs indented, text justified, &font size 11 in Verdana, 3cm
margins on the Left & Right.
i. Please follow point c above in its
entirety. Absolutely no double-spacing, otherwise we will have to penalise
(sorry to be pedantic, but single-spacing in Verdana is much
easier for us to read on the screen).
d. The maximum length is 1,800 words (edit it accordingly). Suitable length: 1,600 to 1,800 words.
e. Write it in essay style.
i. Use prose. Divide your essay into paragraphs. Structure it with an introduction, body (divided into the
main
parts), conclusion and a reference list (A-Z) at the end. Do not have to lot of sub-sections or discussion based on
the ‘point form’ method. Make sure your essay flows. The introduction should tell the reader what you are going to
write about; the conclusion should only summarise your argument and findings.
ii. You may find it useful to consult the material in the academic writing guide on the Curtin
Business School’s website, as this includes sections on essay writing and referencing (follow the link to ‘writing & study skills support’ at http:llwww.business.curtin.edu.aulbusinesslcurrent-students).
f. Incorporate wide-reading into your research methods, and
include a reference list (works referenced in essay), not a bibliography (works read).
This is not an extensive research assignment, but you are expected to read widely beyond the textbook.
Students must undertake their own literature search. It is your responsibility to track
down relevant references. You are expected to be able to interrogate the Library’s full-text databases to identify and access seminal and recent
contributions in the literature. Students should not restrict themselves to web based material. On referencing, do
not plagiarise (see below). Referencing is a (standardised) method of acknowledging any sources of information
and ideas which are not your own. Referencing enables you, and the reader, to clearly identify the source of
information in your essay. References should be properly cited in the body ofthe essay, using Chicago (or
i) If you are using a direct quote, put the quote in inverted commas.
ii) Quotes from books should show the author, date and page number.
iii) A paraphrase means that you have condensed a whole paragraph into one or two sentences of your own. In
such cases, you must acknowledge the reference source but do not put it in inverted commas. However, changing
one or two words from a quote is NOT a paraphrase, nor is it a quote, so do not do this. Just use the
quote.
iv) Internet sources should identify the writer (if available) and the title and the date, plus the date accessed.
v)For a more in-depth guide, see style: http:llIibguides.library.curtin.edu.aulreferencing
g. Proof-read your essay over and over again (and get someone else to proof it).
i. You will probably have to rewrite your essay a number oftimes before a satisfactory result is obtained. As
you proceed, tighten your arguments and structure. Polish your style and grammar. Use clear and concise language.
The simplest words and constructions are often best. Check that your argument flows well and logically.
h. DON’T PLAGIARISE. You may be asked to explain your assignment verbally.
All assignments must be accompanied by an Assignment Attachment Form or a student’s own Cover Page
containing the student’s name, student ID, unit name, tutorial day and time, and tutor’s name. Students should
allow a 2 to 3 week marking turnaround for written assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to keep
electronic copies oftheir assignment.
