Purpose
This assignment is intended to assess your ability to:
Compare and contrast distributive and corrective justice.
Apply restorative justice principles to a restorative sentence.
Overview
Ethical standards must manifest themselves in positive and ethical behavior, not simply discussion. This course is an applied study of ethics. Consequently, you will apply course concepts to factual scenarios as you learn the art of “self- and social critique of ethical self-examination” (Paul & Elder, p. 5-6).
Action Items
Complete all required readings prior to working on this assignment.
Read Situation 4 under “Ethical Dilemmas,” located at the end of Chapter 3 in Pollock (2017). In addition to the facts presented in Situation 4, consider that the young juvenile was not read his Miranda Rights or provided with defense counsel until his sentencing. You are to determine his sentence.
Calculate three sentences integrating the material from the text as your criteria.
One sentence should be based upon the concept on Retributive Justice.
The second sentence should be based upon Utilitarian Justice.
The third, Restorative Justice.
Discuss how his sentence may be modified based upon Procedural Justice.
Which sentence would you choose and why?
Does the morality of the law play a role?
NOTE: Make sure you address ALL questions; define all concepts prior to applying them to the facts, analyzing and drawing conclusions. Use headings for clarity.
Your paper is to include your name, the assignment name, the course and section number, and the date on your title page. Format your title page, paper, and cite ALL sources according to APA guidelines

The Street Gang Phenomenon
One of the common policing problems with a common street gang is
the juvenile membership within the gang. Due to lack of culpability, society
generally believes juveniles should not be processed through the criminal
justice system in the same manner. This encourages recruitment of adolescents
into a street gang more attractive. Although there are various reasons for
someone to join a gang, there are similar social environments that allow for a
criminal street gang to thrive. Your research paper will discuss some of the
common problems and trends associated with criminal street gangs.
In your
paper, cover the following issues:
·
Legal issues and other problems the criminal justice system faces
in dealing with street gangs;
·
Juvenile issues;
·
Minorities;
·
Compare and contrast at least two criminological theories related
to street gangs; and,
·
Current methods of prevention and intervention, to include some
promising strategies for the future.
The paper will be formatted and written in APA 6th Edition with a title page and reference
page. All research and sources will be cited within the body of the paper with
the appropriate use of in-text citations.
Music for Mourning
Read ch. 6
Sometimes there are no words to describe how we are feeling when we are sad or are in mourning. Songs may help us through the rough patches of life even when medicine falls short. What’s makes a song a “mourning ” song? What re the qualities of the songs that make it appropriate. Of course the lyrics make them an obvious choice but what else creates the sense of mourning?
Listen to this song

DO NOT right about the history of the song.
I would like you to write 2 Pages double spaced(meaning you’ve made it to the third page) Times New Roman. Use your book as a reference and make sure you cite WHERE you found the information. You will need at least two citations from the book.
Be VERY careful for your headings (NO spaces and upper left side). DO NOT tripple and quadruple spaces between headings and paragraphs. Paragraphs should be at least 5 sentences. Much of the points come from the formatting. If you get the formatting correct you may score higher.
This paper is about your thoughts. Interpret as best you can.

Fast Fashion Memo
After reading the case study “Fast Fashion,” write a one-page memo articulating a prpblem noted in the article the decision to resolve the specific problem and providing reasons in defense of that decision.
Use 12-point Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins.
At one point in The Great Gatsby, Gatsby explained to Daisy and Nick that he had a man who sent him new clothes each season, spring and fall. He then started pulling shirts out of a cabinet and tossing them on a table, “shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-colored disarray….[H]e brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher—shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange, and monograms of Indian blue.” Daisy suddenly buried her face in the pile of shirts and sobbed, “They’re such beautiful shirts.”
This memorable scene captures a common fantasy about what unlimited wealth would mean: to have so many fine clothes, one couldn’t wear them all in a lifetime. Catering to this daydream the fast fashion industry seeks to make Daisy’s tearful swoon come true for many people of humbler means than Gatsby.
The approach to fashion called “fast fashion” has compressed the buying cycle for clothing by increasing the number of buying seasons from Gatsby’s two (spring and fall) to as many as eight or nine per year. At fast-fashion stores like Zara’s, Forever21, and H&M, one can expect a new line of clothing to appear every six weeks. And these new clothes are both trendy and affordable. With such rapid turnover of inventory, some retailers have cut costs by shifting advertising dollars away from media to in-store promotions. This has the added benefit of forcing customers to physically enter the stores more frequently to keep up with new lines of clothing as they arrive.
In order to compress the buying cycle, the fast-fashion concept requires producers to both compress the production cycle and to keep prices low. Accordingly, producers seek out the cheapest materials and labor as well as seeking the most efficient means of distribution.
The results seem to be a win for all players: manufacturers, retailers, and customers alike. Countries like China, Bangladesh, and India provide an enormous number of textiles as well as ready-made garments for export.
There are, of course, downsides to fast fashion. Retailers dispose of unsold inventories and customers clean out their closets. Fast fashions, however, are neither sturdy nor timeless, so they tend not to find their way into any secondhand markets. According to Elizabeth Cline, in an article in The Atlantic, “Where Does Discarded Clothing Go?

Create a Resource Guide
The reading material for this week focuses on medications used to treat substance use disorders, eating disorders, and co-occurring conditions. In this activity, you will conduct research to identify the current and up-to-date information on medications used to treat substance use disorders (both alcohol and opioid use disorders). This assignment has two major components:
Part 1: You will create a resource guide describing the major medications used in treatment of substance use disorders that can be utilized as a handy tool with your findings, organized in a sequentially progressive order for MFTs to use during their meetings with their clients. Create a table or flow chart explaining the medications used in the treatment of various aspects of substance use disorders (be sure to address: the medication name, the drug classes to which it belongs, the reasons it is prescribed and the symptoms it treats). Also describe the process in selecting and prescribing appropriate medications considering different criteria such as age, gender, prior medications, current condition, etc.
Part 2: In the second part of the assignment you will compile a list of three resources for clients with substance use disorders and three resources for clients with eating disorders that are available in your community. In your descriptions of the resources, consider the multitude of needs of someone who is struggling with addiction or an eating disorder, as well as barriers to accessing resources (lack of Internet, limited financial resources). Please describe the range of services offered (including but not limited to: medication assisted treatment, weight stabilization, medical monitoring, detoxification, group and individual therapy). Consider your client will explore available treatment facilities and your role as an MFT in assisting your client with accessing the resources in your community.
