I ALL Questions need two paragraphs !
1. Is self-interest at all necessary or desirable for practitioners within the criminal justice field? Discuss several ways in which egoistic motivations might produce positive and negative effects in the following: (1) police officers, (2) district attorneys and prosecutors, (3) defense attorneys.
2. To what extent does the fear of punishment motivate you to act morally? To what extent are you motivated to obey the law because of the existence of punishments for violating the law? To what extent does divine sanction or the expectation of divine reward or the expectation of divine reward motivate your behavior?
3. Psychopathic offenders are said to lack conscience. Examples of psychopathic offenders are individuals who demonstrate a callous disregard for the feelings or welfare of others; who are impulsive, manipulative, and deceitful; and who have a larger-than-life sense about themselves. One case of a (sexual) psychopathic offender was Jeffrey Dahmer. Dahmer tortured, mutilated, and killed a number of you men before having sexual intercourse with them. Eventually, he was caught by the police and sentenced to multiple life prison terms in Wisconsin. He was murdered by a fellow prisoner. Are persons like Dahmer capable of forming a conscience? If not, then how can we expect moral/ethical behavior from them?

Do you think we should allow genetic modification of the germline in the US? Consider if you, your child, or a family member carried a devastating genetic disease that could potentially be eliminated using CRISPR, does this change your answer? Should we be concerned with the possibility of building a eugenic society (think Gattaca)? What about designer babies? Should parents be allowed to select the sex of their baby? How about selecting specific genetic traits like eye color?
This is a discussion post. I will provide a document that has two articles (2015 was the year it became ok to
genetically engineer babies & The pros and cons of genetically engineering your children). Here is also a
youtube link about Genome Editiing with CRISPR-Cas9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pp17E4E-O8
The questions that need to be answered are:
Do you think we should allow genetic modification of the germline in the US? Consider if you, your child, or a family member carried a devastating genetic disease that could potentially be eliminated using CRISPR, does this change your answer? Should we be concerned with the possibility of building a eugenic society (think Gattaca)? What about designer babies? Should parents be allowed to select the sex of their baby? How about selecting specific genetic traits like eye color?
Also here is more information about CRISPR:
The relatively new CRISPR technique allows scientists to cut out a detrimental gene and insert healthy DNA, thereby altering the genetic code of that individual cell. If this mutation occurs in a germ cell (gametes, sperm or egg), it would carry through to every cell in the body and descend in successive generations. The CRISPR technique has the potential to eliminate devastating genetic diseases such as Tay-Sachs, cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s disease, however, many in the scientific community oppose human germline modification on the basis of ethical consequences. Regardless of these concerns, it has already begun. China is leading in this research, where scientists began experimentation on a nonviable human embryo in 2015. In 2018 a Chinese scientist performed gene editing on human embryos to knock out the CCR5 gene, preventing entry of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), creating the first germ-line mutation in a human being. It is reported that China has experimented on over 86 patients thus far, with 15 deaths (no viable sources to back this claim). The United States has not officially prohibited germline modification, although the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee explicitly states that it “will not at present entertain proposals for germ line alterations”.

TEM and CRM
Overview
In the Teamwork and Organizational Factors chapter
Actions
, Tullo suggests that the “true definition of ‘teamwork’ or CRM is its focus on the proper response to threats to safety and the proper management of crew error” (2019, p. 55). It would seem that Tullo is redefining CRM as TEM.
Compose one comprehensive full page of analysis and critical thought on the relationship, if any, between TEM and CRM and if you agree or disagree with Tullo’s position. More specifically, discuss whether TEM and CRM are different concepts or the same concepts with different names; has TEM replaced CRM; do TEM and CRM coexist and should be used in an integrated fashion? Use the reading assignment information to support your position. You will be issued credit for the assignment if you:
Complete the post by the due date
Provide a response equaling a full page
Succinctly and adequately frame your position
Written paper contains no significant spelling or grammatical errors
This is a graded assignment for 75 points possible.
Submit
Your paper should be submitted as a Word Doc or as a PDF utilizing American Psychological Association (APA) format. If you use other sources for your position, cite all of the factual information that are not your own unique, individual thoughts.
References
References should be listed in APA format. If you need any help with the APA formatting style or citations
Pan Africanism
In each lecture the professor will introduce a historical narrative about an interaction between the U.S. and a part of the African continent. These lectures will give examples from regional, national and individual experiences. The weekly short papers will require students to chose ONE (1) historical document from the Hypothesis exercises (if students find a different document they wish to use they need to get permission from the professor first). In the short paper, the students must:
Explain their understanding of the historical narrative for the event/topic of the document based on lectures, class discussions, films, and primary source documents read for the topic students choose. Please cite in the paper from where you are drawing your evidence [reading, lecture, document, podcast, film, etc].
Then the student should explain the historical document they are analyzing and how it relates to that narrative – does it confirm the narrative and if so how? Does it contradict the narrative – why and how? Or does it add nuance to the framework of the narrative and give more explanation and if so – how and why?
The point of this exercise is to think about how historians, journalists, filmmakers, and others create historical narratives about topics. How does our western centered perspective shape our approach to the narratives and information? How might African narratives of events differ from people in the U.S.? These are questions that should underlie your approach to the short papers. The papers should be 2 pages. Papers are due on Sunday nights.
