disembodied mind

I would like you to imagine that you are serving on a Technoethics Commission tasked with providing recommendations about Disembodied rights and responsibilities.

1. Ownership: Who can own the disembodied mind? Can a human being sell part or all of a disembodied mind? Why or why not? Should there be a limit as to how many copies one human being can make of their mind? If so, what should that limit be and why?
2. Information Management: Once created, can the disembodied mind be deleted? Why or why not? Who should be responsible for sustaining and/or managing the disembodied mind’s existence in the long-term (i.e. paying any associated fees that may be associated with its existence and upkeep such as maintaining servers, electrical bills, software updates, etc)? Does the disembodied mind have the right to exist indefinitely? Why or why not? Should there be related social programs for the disembodied community (i.e. forms of care for the disembodied after their human counterpart is no longer living)? Why or why not? Should the disembodied mind have a right to privacy? Why or why not?
3. Labor: How should we understand the difference between human labor (i.e. labor performed by the human body) and disembodied labor (i.e. labor performed by the digital copy)? What rights and responsibilities afforded to human beings should also apply to the disembodied (i.e. limited work day, scheduled work breaks, vacation time, family leave, disability, child care, etc)? Should the disembodied mind be allowed to earn an income independent of its human counterpart? Why or why not?
4. Liability: If the disembodied mind commits a crime, who should be held responsible? If a disembodied mind is injured, how should that injury be redressed? How should such cases be adjudicated? Should human and disembodied crimes be processed through the same legal system? Why or why not?
5. Military Service: Should the disembodied mind be able to serve in the military and/or be used in military applications? Why or why not? If so, should they be afforded the same rights as embodied soldiers? Why or why not?

You will need to provide formal recommendations, speaking from the position of the commission. For full credit, your recommendations must address each of the questions and provide specific justifications for each answer. So too, your recommendations must be consistent and cohesive across all five key areas. This will take some thought! Please make sure that you have read through your recommendations to ensure consistency. Finally, your recommendations should be supported with sources from case law, government reports, and/or peer reviewed journal articles.

Your recommendations must begin with an introduction that frames your discussion (i.e. describe why the technoethics commission has been convened to consider this issue and why the commission recognizes the disembodied mind as a conscious entity).
Your recommendations must address each question in the five key areas.
Your answers to these questions must be justified (i.e. you must describe the reasoning behind your answers and cite any sources that you used to inform your recommendations).
Your recommendations must be written from the perspective of the Technoethics Commission (i.e. using language like, “This commission recommends that…” and “It is this commission’s position that…”).
Your recommendations must be free of grammatical errors (again, imagine that you are submitting these recommendations to the President).
Your recommendations must be consistent across all five key areas (i.e. your reasoning about who can own a disembodied mind, must not contradict your recommendations about disembodied military service, for example).
You must cite at least five sources (at least one source per key area) and provide a list of those sources at the end (please use MLA, APA, or Chicago style for your works cited list).
Such sources must come from case law, governmental reports, and/or peer reviewed journal articles.

Course Project – Budget and Timeline

For your Course Project this week, you are given $200,000 to fund your program for one year. You will prepare a budget for your program, considering the resources that you need and how you would allocate funds. Some allocation of funds may include marketing DVDs, time for personnel to hold meetings, electricity, and cleaning services for the office space. For your budget, you do not need to include more complex allocations such as employee salaries, fringe benefits, overhead, phones, etc. Also, you should assume you have some in-kind support to use in your project. In-kind support is any resource you do not have to pay for such as free printing of educational brochures or free telephone services. In addition to your budget, you create a basic Gantt or PERT chart to present your timeline.
To Prepare for this Assignment:
Review Chapter 13 in the McKenzie et al. text. Pay particular attention to how to create a budget and allocate funds.
Given the $200,000 you received for your public health program, create a one-year budget.
Refer to Figure 10.2 on p. 283 of the McKenzie et al. text to view a sample budget sheet.
Think about potential in-kind support/assets that may influence your budget.
Review Chapter 12 in the McKenzie et al. text, and see the sample timeline and Gantt charts on pages 325–326. In addition, you may wish to use the Internet to research how to create a Gantt or PERT chart. Microsoft Excel also has some resources available that you can search. Consider what would be an adequate yet basic timeline to execute the program plan you have developed. Think about the tasks and activities that should be included in a basic timeline for your program plan.
The Assignment : Final Course Project Submission (8 – 12 pages total, not including cover page or references)
Begin with an Executive Summary of your whole project and a Conclusion statement (3 – 4 paragraphs)

BBC, “Racism: A History”

After 1492

Purpose: This essay is an opportunity for you to reveal your ability to read a text (in this case, a film) and think critically. Doing so requires careful use of close reading and critical analysis. You will reveal your knowledge of the subject before presenting your own viewpoint of this topic.

Text

BBC, “Racism: A History”
Topic: As we have discussed thus far, the creation of races was an intentional project that resulted from the European Enlightenment and its philosophical and scientific communities. In the documentary, “Racism: A History,” we see how the construction of race, and more specifically, antiBlackness, still affects our world today.

Writing Task

In a well-developed, thesis-driven essay of 2-pages (500 words) using the film, “Racism: A History” and our class discussions and lectures, respond to the following prompt:

Pretend you are trying to convince someone who believes we live in a post-racism and antiBlackness world that in fact, we are still dealing with a lot of racial injustice. What ideologies and practices shaped our world? Please use examples from the documentary.

Paper Requirements

Your essay should convince the reader that the claim you make (your thesis) is an arguable one, not simply a statement of fact.

Be sure to support your claim with quotes (textual evidence) from the film.
Papers must be 2-pages (500 words) and follow MLA format: typed, double-spaced, 12 pt., Times New Roman font with 1” margins and left-alignment.

How can the US support Peru’s government and the Armed Forces in eradicating the production and distribution of Cocaine?

The topis is the following:

Problem: Peru is one of the leading producers and exporters of cocaine in the world. This is a problem for the USA because most of the cocaine is sent to the USA. Peru’s Armed Forces are fighting against the production of cocaine in Peruvian soil, especially in the VRAEM region, but they’re being ineffective in doing so. How can the US support Peru’s government and the Armed Forces in eradicating the production and distribution of Cocaine? Solution: Institutional strengthening of the Armed Forces in Peru through funding, training, intelligence sharing, knowledge transfer, etc.

The focus the professor is expecting is this one:
The problem looks to be in pretty good shape, so you’re set there. The trick now is dealing with the solutions that you’re going to examine (and that don’t need to be solidified quite this early), just keeping in mind that you are going to be comparing/contrasting 3-5 options against one another to see which one or combination makes the most sense to recommend.
