A researcher based in Miami wants to learn
about the experiences of homeless people in the United States by conducting
interviews with them. He plans to conduct in-person interviews with the
homeless people he samples. He is having trouble deciding how to draw a
representative sample of homeless people because homeless people are difficult
to find, often move from place to place, and are often cycled in and out of
homelessness. The researcher has one year and a $5,000 grant with which to
conduct his interviews.
Your task is to help this researcher.
1. What is the population he wants to generalize to?
2. What are possible sampling frames (sources) from which he can draw his
sample?
3. What do you think would be a good/realistic sample size?
4. What sampling methods would you suggest he uses? Why?
Choose 3 questions from the list and write a response (maximum one paragraph per question). It is always necessary for a candidate to ask questions of the employer at the close of the interview.
A study conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) reported that the majority new college graduates typically stumble through three interviews before they realize they are doing something wrong. One of the best techniques to avoid stumbling is to practice and do it often. There are three parts to this assignment.
Regardless of the position, field, industry or company you are interviewing for, there are 50 (give or take) standard interview questions that are asked, see attached files for mock interview questions.
Choose 3 questions from the list and write a response (maximum one paragraph per question).
It is always necessary for a candidate to ask questions of the employer at the close of the interview. These questions should be pertinent to the position or organization and NOT regarding salary or benefits.
Identify 3 questions that you would ask the potential employer during an interview.
It is a professional courtesy to extend a thank you for the opportunity to interview. Many times, the thank you differentiates candidates that are in close competition for a position. Write a thank you note for the interview.

A) Could we have ethical responsibilities to non biologically-coherent beings, such as networks, biospheres, artificial intelligences or other seemingly-spontaneously acting/intending communicative beings? Would they be the same responsibilities as to coherent living things? How do they differ, if not?
B) Explain whether we have an ethical obligation to forgive ethical harm done to us, using at least one of the ethical theories. Under what circumstances is forgiveness required, if ever? Is it a supererogatory (ethically good but beyond requirement) obligation? Does it differ if we forgive harm done to others?
C) Under what circumstances is violence acceptable to defend abstract ideals and/or to preserve moral agents that do not directly have a relationship with you? Is violence acceptable to defend moral patients (person-like beings which lack the ability to act on agency)? You will want to include a NON DICTIONARY definition of violence in addition to an explanation of the system of thought you are utilizing.
D) Do we have an ethical responsibility to be healthy? Is it possible to have an obligation to health? Consider the definition of health, as well as how defining health can be exclusionary to those who are already culturally/socially marginalized. If that obligation causes harm to persons as agents, what arguments could make it nevertheless an ethical good? NOTE: You may NOT use body size or HIV/other STIs as an example in this essay.
E) It is…sometime in the future and you are a judge in a case where a human-like robot is suing their owner for recognition as an employee rather than being considered a tool, claiming they hold all of the same qualities, desires, functions and emotions that a human does and therefore they are more than mere property and should be granted personhood in the eyes of the law. Will you hear this case? Does the robot have sufficient personhood to argue this?

Instructions
Assignment Twoempathy paper
1. In section one, you are to discuss the findings in contemporary academic literature about empathy, empathys contribution to ethics, and the influence that outgroup status has on empathys impact
2. In section two, you are to discuss, empathys role in law enforcement.
:Some factors you might address in your discussion of empathys role in law enforcement
How well or poorly do members of the discipline relate to members of the community they serve as ingroup members (in a way that impacts their empathy toward them): Why is this so; how does it impact their empathy toward the community; how does it impact ethical decisions on the job; what, if any, factors make proper decisions toward the community possible/likely with or without empathy, etc?
Recognizing the impact of outgroup status on empathy, members of the public safety profession do or do not do enough to make themselves relatable and thereby more likely to be viewed as ingroup members to the community–and thereby more empathy worthy.
What is it that makes them relatable or what could they do to make themselves more relatable?
Is it necessary for members of the discipline to make themselves empathy worthy? Why or why not?
Is it that members of the discipline dont do enough to make themselves relatable or is it that the community is biased or doesnt understand them or both?
What aspects of the discipline make it more or less conducive to the application of empathy?
Are there increased emotional costs to performing the job when empathy is used to make decisions.
What, if anything, can be done to protect the emotional wellbeing of practitioners in the discipline or ensure proper decisions are made?
You need not address all or even any of the suggested topics above related to empathys role in your discipline. The areas pointed out above are only intended to get you thinking about the topic and directions it could go in. The goal is not necessarily to address any specific topic(s) in section two. Instead, the goal is to demonstrate critical thinking skills in applying your understanding of empathy from the first section to a public safety discipline.
Your paper:
should be 4-7 pages long not including your cover page and work sited page(s)
Have 1 margins
Be double spaced with no additional spaces

Quality Assurance and Patient Protection in Health Care Informatics
You have been asked by your health care organization to provide a detailed report on the benefits of implementing a new health information technology system to comply with the current mandates. Develop a report of 1012 pages detailing how information technology systems can be used to analyze organizational data for a health care organization. This should include types of systems where data may be retrieved and how IT and various applications can be used to aggregate and analyze the data to understand issues, identify root causes, and document progress related to implemented changes, patient progress, quality assurance, and compliance. Make sure to address the following questions:
With plenty of data stored on computer systems, data should not be a problem, but access to the data and sharing of information may have implications under federal regulations. What precautions might you suggest when handling health care data? Be sure to apply current trends in health care from proven sources and models.
Consider the support capabilities of a typical health care operation and where employees may access data of various types related to patient needs. What might be accessed, and what controls may be needed to protect patient data?
From a departmental perspective, consider the role of the health information manager (HIM). What qualifications and experience would be needed for your specific health care setting? What functions and role would the HIM have in regard to this organization’s medical records?
As technology advances, what compliance issues and regulations do health care managers at this organization need to be on top of? Consider the impact of falling behind the technology curve not only in terms of productivity but regulatory compliance. What role do the Affordable Care and Patient Protection Acts have on the implementation and use of technology and electronic health records (EHRs) at this setting?

Assignment Instructions: Frankenstein Application Essay
The Frankenstein Application Essay
Literary works like Frankenstein explore the “human condition” or experiences that humans encounter. The study guides for Frankenstein offer several “Real Life Considerations” meant to help you critically analyze the applications of the work’s themes in today’s world. Now, you will choose one of these topics and explore it using secondary resources to learn more about the novel and its relevant social topics. You might find information about social issues in familiar sources such as magazines, newspapers, or social science journals. Make sure your sources are credible – you do not want a random website or an encyclopedic website such as Wikipedia.2 Your sources will preferably be scholarly ones. Here are some ideas of places where you might find appropriate sources for this assignment:
Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/ (note that this is different from regular Google)
Microsoft Academic Search: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/
Cornell University’s arXiv (open access sources in math, biology, physics, and other fields): http://arxiv.org/
Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE): https://www.base-search.net/
Your local library
Your thesis statement and paper must address both the literary qualities and the social issues as you evaluate the novel, Frankenstein. However, keep in mind, your essay does not have to answer ALL of the questions listed under each topic. Only answer the questions you feel are the most relevant to the thesis statement you choose. Develop your essay so it has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Ensure that each of your claims is supported with valid evidence from the novel, Frankenstein, and at least three other credible external sources.3
Using proper MLA style, insert parenthetical citations and signal phrases for all borrowed information in addition to a Works Cited page for Frankenstein and your chosen external sources.
You have several options for this assignment:
Option #1: Can science go too far?
There is an ongoing battle between faith or spirituality and science that has been active even before the time of Mary Shelley. What are some of the dilemmas she addresses that are still important today? What are some of the ethical questions she brings up regarding the scientific definition of life and death? What does she illustrate about the power science has to blur the line between life and death? What is a current news item that is similar to this issue?
Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address ethical issues of science and/or faith for audiences, regardless of when they read the novel?”
Option #2: Discovery
Both Frankenstein and Walton are trying to discover something important to them. What parts of their real lives drive them to discovery? Does that drive still exist today? While we’ve mapped the globe, are there still geographical places for people to explore? In science, are people still trying to discover the meaning of life, how to save life, and how to defeat death? What methods do they use? Are there better ways to accomplish these goals than others? What are some of today’s motivations for discovery?
Note: Develop a thesis that answers questions like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address human discovery as a theme?”
Option #3: World Perception and Prejudice
Reread the paragraph where the creature describes the book from which Felix teaches Safie. It begins: “The book from which Felix instructed Safie was Volney’s Ruins of Empires…”
What are some of the perceptions and prejudices from the book that Felix teaches Safie? How have these perceptions and prejudices changed, if they have, in today’s society? What are some present-day situations and references that may claim a lack of prejudice or an open-mindedness, but, in fact, are still very prejudiced, racist, sexist, etc.? Why do you think these situations still happen? Can anything be done about it?
Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address human prejudice in the world throughout time?”
Option #4: Personal Perception
It could be argued that the creature did not consider itself a monster and didn’t do awful things until people treated him like a monster. What are some real-world instances in which people’s actions could be a reaction to abuse from others? Who do you feel is accountable in these situations? Why?
Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address the effect of peer perceptions on personal development?”
Option #5: Death and Suicide
At the end of the book, the creature promises to destroy himself. Is this a justifiable end for him? Could he have been redeemed? Would he have had a place in the world of Shelley’s novel? How could this relate to current-day issues like suicide or the death penalty?
Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address the value of an individual’s life and death?”
Option #6: Nature vs. Nurture
The creature argues that had someone properly guided him, he would not have been so wretched. Frankenstein4 argues that the creature was evil to begin with, so it would have been useless to teach him at all. What are some current debates – especially in education – where these kinds of arguments still arise? How much of behavior of you think is based on nature (how a person IS) and how much is based on nurture (what a person LEARNS or EXPERIENCES)? What examples from the present support your opinion? What do you feel is the truth? Why?
Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address existing personality traits versus how a person is taught to act?”
Option #7: Feminism
The feminist perspective is often explored in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. How are the women characters treated in the novel? What perceptions of women did Shelley use and comment on? How did she handle the theme of motherhood?
Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley incorporate responses to feminist issues into the novel, Frankenstein?”
