Category: Ethics

Overview
In this week’s required resources, we have explored situations when using force or warfare is justified for particular reasons. We have also considered how peace can be achieved and how it can be sustained in the long term. This assignment will help you express your opinion about a question related to war, conflict, neutrality, and peace while considering how your culture and ethical frameworks influence your opinions.
Directions
For this short paper, choose one of the following scenarios and respond to it:
Scenario One
The survival of a particular political community itself is at stake. (Types of political communities might be nation-states, fundamentalist organizations, religious communities, or political parties.) In this instance, is it ethically permissible to use any means necessary to fight for it?
Scenario Two
A country has been suspected of ethnic cleansing or genocide, and the United Nations is considering intervention. The current government is a totalitarian dictatorship. Is it ethically permissible to impose democracy on an undemocratic regime? Why, or why not?
Specifically, you must address the following:
Explain why you think the action proposed in your chosen scenario is or is not ethically permissible.
Describe how your culture influences your opinion about this.
Explain how your ethical frameworks influence your opinion about this.
What to Submit
Submit your paper as a one- to two-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. If sources are used, follow APA citation guidelines when citing sources both throughout and at the end of your paper. Although you will not be graded on the quality of your citations in this assignment, you may receive guidance from your instructor on how to properly cite sources.

This assignment requires you to apply Patrick Lencioni’s “The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team” framework to any business case that has faced some teams’ dysfunctions. The goal is to critically analyze the team dynamics and leadership issues that contributed to the dysfunctions of the teams and propose actionable strategies for improvement. You are free to select any business case that you want to work on. However, this cannot be fictious. Make sure to provide the relevant references (e.g., media reports) for the business case that you pick. So it is very important that it is a REAL case! I want you to find an article in English. Task: Analyze the teams’ situation through the lens of the 5 dysfunctions of a team. Use media reports and news outlets to conduct your analysis for the organization you picked.

NOTE: in your response, please make it clear what question you are answering. Using headings or numbers is appropriate.
Review this unredacted memo this unredacted memo. Note the actual source is the US Department of Transportation – not a car manufacturer – and is used by the government when analyzing which highway safety features to erect or what vehicle saftey features to mandate.
Review your previous answers and answer the following:
1. Does the fact that the government uses cost-benefit analysis for safety features change your opinion on whether it is appropriate to use cost-benefit for safety features? Explain why or why not.
2. Discuss the practicalities of this statement: “The value of life is priceless. Therefore car manufacturers should be required to install all available safety features.” Remember to consider the consumer.
3. What is the duty of a car manufacturer to the public? Remember to explain the source of that duty.
Length: Although there are no absolute minimums or maximums, a good estimate for this assignment is one paragraph per bullet point. Feel free to use more or less. The key is providing a definitive solution and sufficient reasoning/explanation for the conclusion.
Submission is evaluated on the support you provide for your position, not the position itself.

Please create a discussion thread specifically answering all parts of the prompt below.
Begin to write the content for your own informed consent as a Professional Counselor. Think of this as an abbreviated version focused only on the most salient points. Also, think about what clients need to know about being able to make an informed decision about receiving services.
Include a brief introduction of yourself reflecting your professional identity.
What does your client need to know if they are coming to you for services and are: a) a child and a parent of a child, b) a vulnerable adult, c) a part of a family or couple, and d) a new, incoming group member? Note: It may be helpful for you to review the Remley and Herlihy text regarding the differences between these populations and their respective legal and ethical considerations.
Appendix B in the text has some examples of informed consent, but yours does not need to have as much detailed information.
Please read Chapters 13 and 14 before class to help ensure you get the most from our time together. Please come prepared to ask questions about the content and be ready to apply what you learned to different ethical scenarios and classroom discussions.
