Read the information about social justice.
Then read the article here about the Philando Castile case.
Last, you will need to refer to the Code of Ethics for the Society of Professional Journalists.
Identify and summarize the main points of the case or article.
Social justice has a varied history and a variety of implications. If one of the major tenets of journalism is to minimize harm, how do cases like Castile (if at all) go against this important principle?
What major ethical principle does the case violate, if any?
Does the case support a major ethical principle?
Lastly, what is your opinion of the trend(s) presented based on your knowledge of ethics and morality?

Imperialism and Genocide
For this assignment, select one of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, “White Man’s Burden,” called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these “savage” peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
Link (website): White Man’s Burden
(Links to an external site.)
(Rudyard Kipling)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
Belgium & Africa
Britain & India
Germany & Africa
France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?
How does Kipling’s poem apply to your specific example? You can quote lines for comparison.
Option 2: The Armenian Genocide
Ethnic hatred is not new to the human race and ethnic hatred also goes hand in hand with some of the causes of World War 1 that we have discussed this week, namely nationalism and imperialism. In nationalism, the people not only believe their countrymen (those who look, talk, sound, and believe like them) are not only “better” than people of certain other countries but they also have the right and possibly even the responsibility to conquer areas with those inferior to them and take whatever resources they feel they need. Add to this the need for the leader of a country to be able to blame a certain ethnic group within that country for their problems. Such was the case in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks launched a winter offensive into the mountains of southern Russia early in the war and suffered a severe defeat, both at the hands of the Russian army and the terrible weather they encountered. The Sultan needed a scapegoat to blame the loss on, so he picked an unpopular ethnic minority, the Armenians. Since the people seemed to believe the story, the Ottoman military rounded up as many Armenians as they could and marched them away to their fate.
Watch the following videos on the Armenian genocide:
Link (video): Armenian Diaspora
(Links to an external site.)
(32: 43)
Link (video): Battle over History
(Links to an external site.)
(12:04)
After viewing the videos, conduct research on the topic and develop a case study based on the following questions:
How did the Armenian genocide play on the root causes of World War I, including nationalism, imperialism, social Darwinism, ethnic hatred, and the gullibility of the Turkish people who allowed this to happen and often even supported it.
What were the main motivations of the Ottoman rulers who decided to try and eliminate an entire ethnic minority within their country?
What was the process the Ottomans went through to round up the Armenians and march them to their deaths? Describe the process of the march and eventual genocide of the Armenians.
Why do terrible crimes against humanity always seem to happen during a war?
How do foreign governments recognize and deal with this event in their relationship with Turkey?

Critical response to two themes/lesson from play/novel
Your final writing assignment is a response piece about two lessons you’ve learned from either the novel you’ve read (1984/Brave New World) or the play Macbeth. It is partly about understanding of themes, but mostly about critical thinking and insight on how they apply to our society today or you personally.
You are to write a 400-600 word critical response on what you consider the universal applicability of two of its main themes and how they lead to lessons about the world or about how the individual can live in the world.
Incorporate four quotations to support your thinking (two per lesson). Quotations should follow MLA format [i.e. (Huxley 281) or (Orwell 45)] if possible for novel and Act-Scene-Line for Macbeth [i.e. “Had I but died an hour before this chance,/I had lived a blessèd time” (II.iii.107-108)]. If you do not have page numbers in your Brave New World edition, then just refer to the chapter number you took the quotation from.
Criteria:
themes selected, lessons applied, relevance to self or society /10
critical thinking and insight /10
quotations, explanations, and relevance to your themes/lesson /10
correct use of standard Canadian English /10

In your view, what are the most pressing concerns for public policy considerations as it relates to COVID 19?
The COVID 19 pandemic has fundamentally challenged the management and delivery of health care in the United States. The recent public health emergency has placed demands for emergent and effective solutions in public policy and health care management at local, state and federal levels. The role of government in guiding policy and providing critical resources to the organization and delivery of health care in the United States remains an ongoing debate.
Please review the following link entitled, How COVID 19 has Changed Public Policy and review the five sections discussed.

In your view, what are the most pressing concerns for public policy considerations as it relates to COVID 19?
This is a tough question because COVID 19 has impacted so many areas and brought forth concerns in public health, economy, education, government, environment, immigration, media and other areas. Each of these areas are important. This pandemic has brought to light the disparity in health care available to some communities which has made access to testing, treatment, and obtaining vaccinations very difficult. When these issues are a problem illness (whether COVID 19 or something else) will spread and be worse than it is in other communities. The hospitals in the area I worked in actually laid hundreds of doctors and nurses off because they cancelled all elective surgeries and non-emergent care. To lay off healthcare professionals in the middle of a health crisis seems counterproductive. Perhaps these doctors and nurses could have been reassigned to help with the disparity of care others were suffering. Of course, once this problem is addressed in the US, there is the global issue of disparity in health care resources as well.
While I understand these decisions were made out of an abundance of caution during unprecedented times, I feel it was a mistake for the government to forcibly close businesses for so long. This was devastating to economies and I personally know several families who lost their livelihoods and feel like they will never financially recover. Every job is essential on some level or those jobs and the businesses that provide them wouldn’t be in existence. Shutting things down led to a breakdown in the supply chain and caused shortages in groceries, medical supplies, and household goods that further strained an already difficult situation. Also, not everyone has a job that can be made remote or work from home and as a result many people suffered huge financial setbacks. Aside from the economic impacts of shut down, many people suffered emotional and mental hardships that added to the problems healthcare workers were dealing with.
I think that the government response to this at the federal, state, and local level revealed how divided our country is. No one could agree on the best course of action and absolutely everything (down to wearing a mask) became political. Instead of banding together to tackle this problem our leaders (federal, state, and local – regardless of political affiliation) became a bunch of squabbling babies who got nothing accomplished but more division of our citizens. Our leaders couldn’t even agree on what powers they had to intercede.
The issue of the media and the huge releases of misinformation and divisive information it doled out, missed education, environmental impacts, immigrants getting the help they need, and helping other nations are all important as well. As the faculty at Harvard Kennedy School pointed out, COVID 19 has brought to light a lot of big problems that need to be tackled. I think we need to start with strong, united, and decisive leaders who will tackle the healthcare disparity and economic issues that were revealed.

COVID-19 has affected so many of us in many different ways. I believe one of the biggest concerns is the economy. I have seen so many concerns worldwide that have been brought to attention. One thing I have noticed that has brought concerns is the economy. So many small businesses that were doing so well have closed up because taxes became too expensive. If taxes keep increasing, many popular businesses/restaurants will start going out of business. I have started to see a slow increase in the economy given things are starting to open back up. The economy has affected so many of us during this pandemic and has made us more aware of what we really need to focus on.
Another concern I have noticed was the healthcare system. Given the severity of COVID-19, there shouldn’t have been as many people laid off as there were in the healthcare field. Their job is to make sure everyone is healthy and the fact that the main focus was COVID (as much as an issue it was) which has made those with other health problems pushed down on the list. Doctors and nurses that were laid off in this pandemic should have used their knowledge somewhere needed. That way they are still keeping up what they do, just a little differently until things go back to normal. Healthcare is so big, especially now, to have as many as they did lay off. This was a huge topic in my household given my mom is a nurse, as are many of her friends.
