Utilitarian Case Study

This week’s assignment presents a profoundly difficult dilemma, with you in an imagined professional role: You are the lead surgeon managing a liver transplant. You are also utilitarian.
A healthy young woman, Linda, had a fatal car accident this morning. She was an organ donor, your hospital has harvested her organs, and there are three liver transplant candidates on the hospital’s most-urgent list. All will die within the next month without a liver. You must choose one of the three candidates, and you must use utilitarianism as your main tool for doing so. You have about 12 hours left to make your decision. In this written assignment, please provide your complete utilitarian rationale for why you chose one of the following candidates.
Recipient A is Francis. He is 57. He is a recovering alcoholic who has not had a drink in 9 months but has relapsed many times before. Francis is a beloved husband and a father to three teenage children. He is the president of a small, struggling credit union that may fail without him.
Recipient B is Miriam. She is 34. She doesn’t do much with her life, and she’s not a very nice person. She comes from a very wealthy family; her father recently donated $2 million to the hospital’s cancer research program. He’s said that he intends to donate even morea whole new pediatric wingin the next year. There’s a large risk that he will cease donating if his daughter dies.
Recipient C is Benji. He is 19. He has his whole life ahead of him. He’s a college sophomore getting good grades and thinking about becoming a doctor himself. There is a strong risk, however, based on past complications, that his body will reject the liver.
Which candidate is the strongest choice from your utilitarian perspective, and why? How have you eliminated the other candidates? You should write this as Doctor You (you can use your last name), in the first person. Imagine your hospital’s board of trustees as your audience. You should use two or three quotes and paraphrases from Mill’s work (this will require library research) to support your decision, but you’re not writing primarily as a philosopher. Rather, you’re a doctor who has grown to trust this philosophy in his profession. You should walk your audience through your decision from beginning to end. If this were a math assignment, you’d show your work. It’s not a math assignment, though, so the only wrong answer is one that you don’t effectively support.
Note: You may find that the real you does not actually agree with the utilitarian choice, or even that the utilitarian choice is not one a hospital ethics board would ultimately support. That’s okay! You’re an imaginary doctor. You’re simply practicing arguing from this perspective. Your paper should be 3 to 5 pages and written in APA format.

What is knowledge?
What is your basis of ethics?
What is the purpose of your existence?
Remember to support your reflection with the topic study materials.

Extinction

There are various ways that a behavior analyst can reduce unwanted behaviors. Punishment was discussed earlier this quarter, but problem behavior can be decreased through a less aversive procedure called extinction. Extinction withholds reinforcement, rather than adding or removing a consequence. Extinction is another basic principle of behavior, and we explore it during this unit.
For this assignment:
Write a paper explaining the concept of extinction. Be sure to explain how extinction relates to the presence or absence of reinforcement in your definition. Provide support for your explanation from your textbook.
Present three real-world, detailed examples of how a behavior may be placed on extinction.

Leadership & Cooperation – Creating a Winning Sporting Culture

After Reading Ch 10- Group Position & Ch 11- Group Roles Think as if you were on a team or a member of a group working toward a common goal there was a significant importance to you.

In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, upon being presented with a Th.D. (Doctor of Thinkology), the Scarecrow proudly exclaims, “The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.” Did the Scarecrow get the Pythagorean theorem right? If he did not get the theorem correct, specifically point out and describe the errors in the Scarecrow’s statement.

Identify the chemical and discuss the chemical properties. What level of exposure of this chemical is considered toxic? What duration of exposure can produce a toxic effect?

This unit covers various ways that chemicals or toxicants can impact an individual. The impact that chemical exposure can cause ranges from localized effects on various organs and developmental or reproductive effects to cancer.
Consider the types of places that a safety inspector would visit for an inspection such as a manufacturing or processing plant, a construction site, or a pharmaceutical company. You may even consider the environment that a firefighter may encounter for this assignment. Then identify one chemical or toxicant that an individual may be exposed to in this type of workplace. Research the chemical or toxicant and discuss the following aspects in your scholarly activity response:
Identify the chemical and discuss the chemical properties. What level of exposure of this chemical is considered toxic? What duration of exposure can produce a toxic effect?
Identify the type of workplace where this chemical may be found and the use of the chemical in this environment.
Discuss how exposure of the chemical to the worker could occur. Include the route of exposure and what organ(s) or systems of the body could be affected.
Discuss the toxic effects produced from exposure to this chemical. Consider if it is a localized or systemic effect. Are the effects acute or chronic? Explain the symptoms and effects of the toxic exposure including the organs damaged and the type of damage that occurs. Is the chemical a carcinogen, allergenic, or something else?
Discuss how to prevent toxic exposure to the chemical and any known treatments available for toxicity from this chemical.
Your scholarly activity response should be at least two pages in length and utilize at least three credible sources. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.

Assignment Topic Overview:

Chapter 13 of your text notes two significant pitfalls that can occur
during the communication process: filtering and perception. Thinking
back on your own personal experience, you have likely experienced the
impact of one or both of these blockades to perfect understanding. In
this discussion, you will share an example and address how the
communication experience might have been better handled.
Using your own experience as well as the material from Chapter 13 of the text, address the following in your response:
Define perception and filtering in your own words.
Describe the communication encounter you experienced that was influenced by either perception and/or filtering.
How did the effect of a communication pitfall impact both the sender
and receiver during the communication process? Give at least one
specific example for each party.
With your newfound knowledge of communication pitfalls, what could
you have done differently in the situation to avoid any negative impact
of perception and/or filtering?
NOTE:
I do not expect you to read all the materials I have provided but these are here for your reference. Please view these items at your leisure. Below I have uploaded Screenshots of the E-textbook’s cover, The Chapter 13 about this topic.
