Do you agree with Thomson that in determining the morality of abortion, it is irrelevant whether a woman has used contraception when having sex?

week 11:
considering Judith Jarvis Thomson’s analogy of the sick violinist, explain the way in which it is a successful analogy for abortion, and the way in which it is not so successful. Do you agree with Thomson that in determining the morality of abortion, it is irrelevant whether a woman has used contraception when having sex? Do you agree or disagree with John T. Noonan that abortion appears more acceptable because a fetus is invisible from sight, and so more easily dehumanized? What do you think of Marquis’ claim that most abortions are immoral because they deprive the fetus of a “future like ours”? In general, which of the arguments in support of abortion rights do you find most persuasive? Which of the arguments against abortion do you find most persuasive? Do you believe that biological changes that take place during pregnancy have any moral significance in the attribution of personhood upon a fetus?
week 12:
Earlier in the course we encountered Socrates’ claim that all evil is the result of ignorance. What kinds of racist behavior or attitudes do you think people commit as a result of their ignorance? What do you think you can do to ensure that you avoid attitudes or behaviors that may ultimately be racist? If you had a friend or family member who inadvertently or intentionally said something tinged with racism, what do you think you could do or say to help correct such attitudes?

Information Literacy and Society

Reflect: Information Literacy
Evaluation Title: Information Literacy and Society
This assignment provides you with an opportunity to reflect on the sociocultural issues and implications involved with the concept of information literacy.
Throughout the course, you have applied the concept of information literacy to your academic work. For this unit, please expand your scope and in a 2-3 page reflective essay, share your thoughts on how you see information literacy being applied in our society.
Possible prompts include: are some groups more informationally literate than others? If so, why? Is this related to the concept of “information privilege”? If so, can you explain how? How does society benefit from a population that is informationally literate? How does a society suffer from a population that is not? Do you believe our society values information literacy? Why do you feel as you do? Should we care about whether a society possesses information literacy skills?
You may use the personal pronoun “I” in this essay. If you use secondary sources, be sure to provide a citation such as (Smith, 2002, p. 82) and the corresponding reference in APA style.

Conflict Resolutions

Create a PowerPoint deck with speaking notes for a presentation you would give to hospital leadership to prepare them to handle situations such as the one in the Vila Health: Conflict Resolution simulation. When you have created your PowerPoint deck, create an audio recording in which you present the information in your PowerPoint deck.
You are free to organize your presentation in whatever way you like. The following outline describes one way to structure your PowerPoint presentation:
0. Cover slide: One slide that includes the name and number of the course, the name of the assessment, submission date, and your name and contact information.
1. Introduction slide: One slide that provides a brief overview of conflict resolution as it relates to the incident described in the Vila Health simulation. This is the elevator speech of the simulation and captures an overview in a list format. Provide two short paragraphs in the speaking notes to support the points made in the list.
2. Background slide: One slide that explains the background of the incident described in the Vila Health simulation.
3. Analysis of the situation: A section of two slides that explains how a lack of cultural competence can compound already stressful situations and impede collaboration.
· Describe the communication techniques that were used in this simulation that should be avoided in situations that involve diverse cultures.
4. Communication slide 1: One slide that lists at least two communication strategies that leadership can use to help the organization resolve conflicts like the one in the simulation. These should be communication strategies that hospital leadership should promote within the organization going forward to resolve conflicts like this in the future.
5. Communication slide 2: One slide that explains the role of relationships in communication.
· You may wish to discuss relationships between leaders and followers and leaders overseeing teams.
6. Communication slide 3: One slide that explains the role of communication in teamwork and collaboration.
7. Application of literature to the case study: One slide that recommends strategies that could be implemented to improve the relationships between nursing and housekeeping in the Vila Health simulation.
8. Summary: One slide that sums up the situation in the Vila Health simulation.
9. References: This section should list, in APA format, the scholarly references used to support the communication strategies for conflict resolution and the role of relationships in communication.

GIS Asset Mapping

Sources must be scholarly:academic. Rubric is attached. The community is on Tulare California
Resources to help: https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/assessment/assessing-community-needs-and-resources/geographic-information-systems/main, https://youtu.be/mEfMpuqvUJg, https://youtu.be/wYP0U9Tj1Y8
1. Visit batchgeo.com to begin working on an asset map. (Batchgeo: A useful tool to map communities for asset maps).
2. Visit the site and watch the video about GIS systems. You are to create your own asset map of your community using batchgeo.com . This asset map should relate to the service industry where you are proposing change. For example, let’s say you work for the YMCA and you have identified that there are not enough daycares in your community. Thus, your change project is to develop an inner-city daycare where there are none. You will enter all the daycares by name that currently exist in your community (city, county, region…your choice) by address, city, and state, and then click the batch so it provides a map of the daycare locations. You anticipate seeing daycares in the wealthiest parts of the community but not the locations of lower-income. The Batchgeo tool will provide a visual of the service region gaps. So, you should:
3. Plugin the information into the excel spreadsheet that you have collected as to where these sites are located.
4. If you live in a large urban area chose a neighborhood. If you live in a rural area, a county or community will work.
5. Put the name of the program, city, state and zip code, and phone number into an excel spreadsheet. Group and URL are not necessary.
6. Copy and paste the spreadsheet into the field at batchgeo.com
7. Hit the Map it Button
8. Take a screenshot of your map and save it to your computer. Include the map in the written assignment called Community Asset Mapping Assignment and upload ONE single document, NOT two, into this assignment link.
9. In addition, write a summary of your findings (500 words or less) and what you are learning about your community?
o What did you find?
o What is the poverty rate in the county?
o Visit, Poverty Map Index on the NYTimes site and the Geography of Poverty on MSNBC or Census data from Quick Facts:
o Where are the programs or agencies located?
o Do you know where the people live who are served by these programs?
o Do they live close by or far away from needed resources?
o Do you see the existing services grouped in certain areas?
o Does transportation exist for those who do not own cars?
o How do clients get to the needed services?
o Any other thoughts you have discovered from mapping?
· Use APA format with title page, running head, page numbers, 1 ” margins, double-spaced, reference page and DO NOT WRITE IN FIRST PERSON!
