prison system discussion

There are a number of issues impacting people in the US within the 21st century, but one issue that continues to increase in concern is the Prison Industrial Complex. Angela Davis’ article this week gives you an overview of how the prison system became an institution of racism and sexism over the 100 years of the 20th century, but I want you to consider the more contemporary elements of the issue. This week’s lecture can help point you in the right direction if this is a new topic for you.

You can select any topic you’d like, but some suggestions include:

Health care (outside of pregnancy)
Pregnancy
Juvenile sentencing/incarceration
Prison food and/or commissary
Solitary confinement
For your post:

Provide a brief overview of your topic (including any information you can share about how this topic may differ depending on it being a for-profit prison or state run)
How might your topic be impacted by an intersectional analysis? (How do race, gender, sexuality, religion, and other identities stand out in these issues?)
What has been some of the biggest changes to your topic over the last few years/decades? (Consider policy changes, advocacy work on the topic, new laws or overturning of protections – whatever is impacting your chosen topic)
References should be included in these posts — make sure you’re utilizing appropriate resources (no Wikipedia, no blogs). This can include news articles, government websites, etc. Remember to include citations and references.

CASE STUDY – DESIGN PROCESS

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

Case Study – Design Process
You have recently started your own software design company. You discover that your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is looking to build a system that will allow receptionists to check in customers quickly. They would like for the system to allow customers to self-check-in during busy times, but have receptionists check customers in the rest of the time. Your company puts a bid in for the project and wins. Read the article, “Factors Affecting Development Process in Small Software Companies.”
Write a four- to five-page paper in which you:
Suggest the prototyping technique you would use for this system and support your rationale.
Create a management plan containing eight to ten stages for proper design of such a system.
Explain each stage of the management plan and justify your rationale.
Estimate the length of time it will take to complete each stage of the management plan.
Compare and contrast the self-check-in interface with the interface a receptionist would use.
Use Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative, Dia, to create a total of two graphical representations of your proposed interfaces, one for the self-check-in and one for the receptionist. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

A right to experimental drugs

Write a 2-3 page paper that explains and defends your view on the issue of whether or not patients with no other treatment options have a moral right to unproven drugs.
Introduction
Many doctors, nurses, medical technicians, and other health care workers are involved in medical research. The field of medicine is not limited to the direct treatment of patients but also involves the continued expansion of medical research. A large part of such research is clinical research, which puts patients into the role of experimental subjects. This raises a number of challenging questions for health care ethics, many of which follow from the fact that physicians, nurses, and others involved in clinical research have a dual role. As researchers, they are committed to generating new knowledge about diseases, developing new treatments and drug therapies, and, in general, helping to improve the welfare of human beings by eliminating or controlling diseases and increasing longevity. However, researchers involved in clinical research must also be committed to the highest quality care for individual patients taking part in research studies. This assessment explores some of the ethical issues that clinical research raises and some of the safeguards in place to protect the interests of patients involved in research.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Articulate ethical issues in health care.
Explain how the principle of informed consent is relevant to these issues.
Explain the costs and benefits of offering unapproved experimental drugs to patients.
Competency 2: Apply sound ethical thinking related to a health care issue.
Identify relevant ethical theories and moral principles.
Articulate arguments using examples for and against offering pre-approved drugs to wider pools of patients.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals.
Exhibit proficiency in clear and effective academic writing skills.
Preparation
When a new drug is undergoing clinical trials to be approved for treatment, it must pass through a number of distinct phases of testing. These phases require rigorous study and evidence to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of new treatments. Passing through these phases and achieving approval takes many years for some trials. Before approval, patients not part of a clinical trial have limited or no access to experimental drugs, even though these drugs could be helpful and potentially save their lives. There are various groups pushing for greater patient access to drugs still in the experimental stage. In recent years, the FDA has made it somewhat easier to receive treatment with experimental drugs, but according to advocacy groups there are still too many restrictions (Munson, 2014).
This leads to a potential quandary when early stages of research on a drug sometimes suggest that the drug could be effective in treating a certain disease. On one hand, offering easier access to early stage trial drugs could help individuals suffering with a medical condition. However, on the other hand, making early access to experimental drugs easier could limit the pool of patients available to participate in clinical trials that establish whether or not the drug is truly effective and safe. This is an important consideration, as the vast majority of experimental drugs turn out to be completely ineffective or could have very dangerous side effects that will only show up over time and across a wider test population.
When completing this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the ethical arguments that are relevant to both views regarding the right to experimental drugs. It may be useful to review the suggested resources and conduct additional independent research while you are planning your assessment submission.
Do patients with no other treatment options have a moral right to unproven drugs? Write a paper that explains and defends your view on this issue. In addition to reviewing the suggested resources, you are encouraged to locate additional resources in the Capella library, your public library, or authoritative online sites to provide additional support for your viewpoint. Be sure to weave and cite the resources throughout your work. In your paper, address the following points:
Identify relevant ethical theories and moral principles.
Explain how the principle of informed consent is relevant to the issue.
Explain the costs and benefits of making unproven, unapproved experimental drugs widely available to patients. Consider the costs and benefits not only to the individual patients who take these drugs but also potential costs and benefits to other patients.
Explain arguments using examples for and against offering pre-approved drugs to wider pools of patients.
Support your view using ethical theories or moral principles (or both) that you find most relevant to the issue.
Additional Requirements

Comparative essay between the novels “Never let me go” by Kazuo Ishiguro and “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley

Your task for this paper is to draw some comparative threads between these two novels and discuss similarities and contrasts in patterns, trends and motifs. Go beyond the obvious “uncontrolled-science-is-bad-for-us” thinking. Think of the two novels you have read and of the reactions they prompted. How did they make you feel? Why? Were you shocked at certain moments? Appalled? Thrilled? In disbelief? Did you detect any connections between the story lines and the symbolisms of the two works? This is the general frame. Then start brainstorming and isolate certain instances from both novels that reveal comparable mindsets and conclusions. To do so you may choose to discuss characters’ actions, dialogs, descriptions, motives, and/or the authors’ representation(s) of certain situations, characters and circumstances. You may also use relevant references, examples and quotes from any of the assigned essays, notes and other material.
You should begin this paper by having a clear comparable thesis. You are comparing two novels, two periods, one or two prominent theme(s) in the novels, and naturally one or more characters. Think small and avoid generalizations. Be aware of the distance between Shelley’s Romantic period and Ishiguro’s postmodern landscape. Build your thesis around a clear argument that emerges from your own reading and understanding of the novels, and your own curiosity to take it further. You are required to conduct your own research and use at least three secondary sources (articles, academic essays, books of criticism, profiles of the authors in credible publications such as the NYTimes, The Guardian and The New Yorker, among many others) written about the two novels, the authors and their periods you are writing about. This will help you: A/come up with a cleat argument if you don’t have one; B/back up your ideas if you already have them; C/Add and demonstrate further knowledge of your topic.
