In 2-3 pages (approximately 5 full paragraphs), and with reference to the normative commitments you’ve expressed in past papers, explain your position on the morality of euthanasia. Your response will also be checked against an anti-plagiarism database, so be sure to attribute any sources you quote (I prefer this be done in footnotes, but if you prefer to add a bibliography, include that separately from the 2-3 page length.)
Day: November 9, 2020
In approximately 2000 words, craft a policy argument. It should be well-researched as evidenced by appropriate citations (in an academically appropriate format of your choosing; ideally Blue Book but since most of you will not know this format and I will not be teaching it to you, any style will do). This may be successfully accomplished in a variety of ways, but the paradigmatic approach would be to:
Spend about one third of the paper discussing the status quo on an issue pertaining to bioethics.
Spend about one third of the paper criticizing the status quo.
Spend the final third of the paper offering your own solution.
The easiest “status quo” is probably the law–so for example you might argue that something now legal should be illegal, or that something now illegal should be legal. But you can also make an argument about hospital policies, or research practices, or anything else pertinent to bioethics. Anywhere social and institutional rule-making intersects with medical research or practice, you can make a policy argument.
Your response will also be checked against an anti-plagiarism database, so be sure to attribute any sources you quote (I prefer this be done in footnotes, but if you prefer to add a bibliography, include that separately from your 2000 word wordcount.)
Your paper will be graded across five areas:
Do you make a clear policy argument? (0-20 points)
Does your argument rely on moral claims that are clearly referenced and correctly connected with relevant existing philosophical literature? (0-20 points)
Does your argument rely on credible empirical sources, while also accounting for (NOT OMITTING) possible counterevidence? (0-20 points)
Does your argument successfully integrate your moral and empirical claims in a cohesive way, demonstrating insight and a breadth of topically-relevant understanding? (0-20 points)
Is your paper grammatically correct, proofread, formatted as instructed, and otherwise linguistically coherent? (0-20 points)
Assignment Overview
Practitioners must be able to work with others and understand theories and terms in
developmental psychology as they apply to others. It is essential to develop case
management skills by applying theories and terms in developmental psychology to real-world
experiences, which helps to identify key developmental stages in early childhood,
adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood or late adulthood. This assignment focuses on early
childhood through young adulthood.
This assignment requires you to articulate the theories for each developmental stage in the
scenario provided, based on emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual/moral development
factors. You are required to identify development challenges for the individual you choose in
the scenario and propose applicable solutions to address these challenges. You will need to
compare and contrast with the person in the developmental stage with the other two in the
scenario who are in two other stages of development, physically, socio-emotionally, cognitively
and morally. This assignment helps develop an understanding of the different stages of
human growth and development in early childhood through young adulthood. It helps you gain
insights into various populations and age groups for person-centered care.
Important Note
This assignment requires you to choose one of the family members from the scenario
provided. You will analyze the same person in each part of your early to mind development papers. Review Assignment Instructions and Assignment Requirements
and ask clarifying questions of your instructor before attempting this assignment
Scenario
Justin, Adrienne, Ben and Tony are half-brothers and sisters whose parents married after their
respective divorces from other spouses. Their parents come from two different races and have
been married for 5 years. The parents are experiencing marital difficulties, some, but not all, of
which are brought on by problems with their oldest son, Tony, age 20. Tony has struggled with
substance abuse and has been getting into trouble since high school. Their parents had Justin,
their only bi-racial child, who is now 4-years old and shows signs of being behind in aspects of
his development. Adrienne and Ben are twins, age 9 from their mothers first marriage.
Adrienne is thriving in school, socially and developmentally, but Ben is struggling in some or all
of those areas, but gives his parents few if any problems and is supportive of his oldest brother,
despite his challenges.
Note: This scenario is brief to allow you to make research-supported assumptions about
the selected persons development and potential problems that the individual might face.

Journal Prompt:
Discuss why and how the concept of CQ is relevant to you and your future personal and career goals. Based on your CQ Assessment results and your personal reflection, discuss your strengths and growth areas in each of the four CQ dimensions (CQ Drive, CQ Knowledge, CQ Strategy, CQ Action). How has your understanding of Cultural Intelligence and the realities of interacting across cultures changed so far during this course? Discuss the ways you will seek to increase your CQ in the next 4 weeks as we finish this course? What about over the next year? How is Cultural Intelligence an essential part of the process of becoming a disciple and of making disciples who follow Christ locally (against the backdrop of American Christian culture) and globally (in places where they have never heard the name of Jesus)?
Your journal entry should be at least 400 words, but some of the prompts will require much more to answer the questions thoroughly. While journals are not formal academic papers, you still should take great care to make sure you always write in complete sentences with proper spelling and grammar.
Make sure you check the CQ Journal Assignment Instructions and Rubric to maximize your points for this assignment. Please type your journal entry directly into the Blackboard text box (do not upload a file). Check the CQ journal instructions for help with creating a journal entry.

The Institute of Risk Management says Risk perception is a highly personal process of decision making, based on an individuals frame of reference developed over a lifetime, among many other factors.
With regard to this, critically evaluate key socio-psychological factors that can influence peoples perception of a risk that is appropriate to your programme of study.
The essay should be written in Arial 12 point text with 1.5 spacing between lines (Line spacing in tables can be spaced as appropriate).
Prompt: Agree, disagree, or modify this thesis:
By creating space for heterodoxy (eg alternative belief systems), the Islamic Caliphates of the Middle Ages (600-1200AD) managed to increase trade, benefit from technological innovation, and maintain a strong state.
Format:
4-5 pages double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font. No title page, just a simple title up top and your name & pg numbers in the header. Citations should be Chicago style, which just means that you use footnotes instead of parenthetical citations. Proofread.
Strong essays will do more than just highlight lecture notes and thinkspace material. They will demonstrate that you have engaged with authors from this unit (Johnson, Laine, Hodgson, Patterns). Do not write about Turkey or Rojava today; focus on the Middle Ages (and you can change the thesis to include E. and W. Rome if you want).
Choose one key area of development during infancy (physical/biological, social/emotional, cognitive, or spiritual/moral).
How does this area of development serve as a building block for future development?
List strategies for promoting growth in this area of development and analyze the potential impact of these strategies.
