Paper 2 Plato Phaedrus Reading.pdf (119.037 KB)
Paper 2 Carr Reading.pdf (116.289 KB)
The attached PDFs are the readings upon which this paper will be based. In English 101, reading pairs are chosen because they typically deal with a common theme but often have at least somewhat differing viewpoints on it. Read the passages carefully, and consider the following reflection questions, which will help you understand the main ideas of these readings.
Excerpt from Phaedrus (approx.. 370 B.C.), by Plato
Plato (428-23 B.C. 348/7 B.C.)ancient Greek philosopher. Socrates, Plato’s philosophy teacher, is usually featured as a character in Plato’s writings, which are structured as dialogues. While we can’t know for certain if Socrates actually said the things Plato attributes to him in these dialogues–because Socrates never published–we do know that Plato always has Socrates state his (Plato’s) own ideas. The other conversant in Platonic dialogues, in this case Phaedrus, might sometimes raise objections to Socrates’s (really, Plato’s) ideas but eventually comes to agree with what Socrates is saying. While Socrates does all the talking, so to speak, never lose sight of the fact that Plato is the author here–not Socrates.
When you eventually write your paper, you have a couple options when quoting “Excerpt from Phaedrus.” You might structure the quotation as follows:
Plato has Socrates say, “You know, Phaedrus, writing shares a strange feature with painting” (2).
Or you might write something like the following, making sure that Plato is featured in the parenthetical citation:
Socrates says, “You know, Phaedrus, writing shares a strange feature with painting” (Plato 2).
p. 2
1. Socrates tells his conversant Phaedrus a story in which the ancient Egyptian god Theuth (or Thoth) discusses the art of writing with the ancient Egyptian god Ammon (or Thamus). What is Thamuss objection to writing?
2. How does Socrates compare writing with painting?
3. Can writing choose its audience or defend itself from attack?
p. 3
4. Which is the better mode of communicationthe better discourse, in other wordsaccording to Socrates?
5. According to Socrates, how is physical writing like being an irresponsible farmer?
6. What makes dialecticthe act of conversing verbally with othersbetter than physical writing?
p. 4
7. According to Socrates, if you wish to writeor, really, speakwell, what do you need to do?
p. 5
8. If you are a writer, what should you be prepared to admit if you want to be considered a true lover of wisdom?

Review the attached PDF file and answer the following questions:

1. Discuss the factors that contribute to the prevalence of over-the-counter drug misuse by teens?
2. Are there gender differences in misuse in over-the-counter drug misuse? If so, why do you think this is? If not, why not?

Answers must be scholarly and be 3-4 sentences in length with rationale and explanation. No Straight forward / Simple answer will be accepted. Please, check case study 3 and 4 uploaded in orther to answer questions.IInflammatory Bowel Disease
Case Study
The patient is an 11-year-old girl who has been comAll answers to case studies must have reference cited in text for each answer and minimum of 2 Scholarly References (Journals, books) (No websites) per case Studyplaining of intermittent right lower
quadrant pain and diarrhea for the past year. She is small for her age. Her physical
examination indicates some mild right lower quadrant tenderness and fullness.
Studies Results
Hemoglobin (Hgb), 8.6 g/dL (normal: >12 g/dL)
Hematocrit (Hct), 28% (normal: 31%-43%)
Vitamin B12 level, 68 pg/mL (normal: 100-700 pg/mL)
Meckel scan, No evidence of Meckel diverticulum
D-Xylose absorption, 60 min: 8 mg/dL (normal: >15-20 mg/dL)
120 min: 6 mg/dL (normal: >20 mg/dL)
Lactose tolerance, No change in glucose level (normal: >20 mg/dL rise in
glucose)
Small bowel series, Constriction of multiple segments of the small intestine
Diagnostic Analysis
The child’s small bowel series is compatible with Crohn disease of the small intestine.
Intestinal absorption is diminished, as indicated by the abnormal D-xylose and lactose
tolerance tests. Absorption is so bad that she cannot absorb vitamin B12. As a result, she has
vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. She was placed on an aggressive immunosuppressive
regimen, and her condition improved significantly. Unfortunately, 2 years later she
experienced unremitting obstructive symptoms and required surgery. One year after surgery,
her gastrointestinal function was normal, and her anemia had resolved. Her growth status
matched her age group. Her absorption tests were normal, as were her B12 levels. Her
immunosuppressive drugs were discontinued, and she is doing well.
Critical Thinking Questions
1. Why was this patient placed on immunosuppressive therapy?
2. Why was the Meckel scan ordered for this patient?
3. What are the clinical differences and treatment options for Ulcerative Colitis and Crohns
Disease? (always on boards)
4. What is prognosis for patients with IBD and what are the follow up recommendations for
managing disease?Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Do you think that the beliefs of all cultures are equally good and true, or do you think that the beliefs of some cultures are better and truer than the beliefs of others? Give an example of an issue that illustrates your view. If you believe that some cultural beliefs are better and truer than others, on what standard do you base your evaluation, and why?

My stance is that no culture is fully better than the other. Yes there are somegood cultures but I would never have a preference.

After each unit there is a critical
analysis of the UNIT readings. The purpose
of work group is to simulate the work environment and to meet the objective of
applying the decision-making process in a real life situation. In groups, students are to
analytically critique the writings.
Students are to include the following elements in a summary for marks. Not
including these elements will result in lost marks.

Write a good summary of the text you read, capturing
the key points.

Throughout the paper add statements such as I
think., My opinion is… Not sharing your opinion throughout will result in
lost marks.

Included personal stories, experiences, and examples
that relate to the summary

Write a conclusion on, how this article affects you or
what impact will it have on your decision-making.

Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves, systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The field of ethics concerns matters of value: the degree of importance of some thing or action, with the aim of determining what actions are best to do or what way is best to live or to describe the significance of different actions. Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality – the differentiation of intentions, decisions and actions between those that are proper and those that are improper. Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a set of rules outlining the social norms, religious rules and responsibilities of, and or proper practices for, an individual.

You will be required to turn in a three page paper for a test grade. This does not include the cover page or
reference page. Pay attention to the directions as they are important.
I want you to write an APA formatted paper (if it is not proper APA format, it will not be accepted which will surely result in a failing grade).
I want you to write about:
What would make me a better practitioner
What would make me a better co-worker
What would make me a better person

Note: everyone one can improve on who and what they are. If you feel you cannot. Do not turn in the paper and accept the grade of zero. This will help to keep our patients safe.
I want three professional references. This is not wikipedia time. It is not political or newspaper clippings articles. These are legitimate articles from the school library. Look to the left of you on the task bar. There is a library tab. Use that.
If you are writing about what makes a good employee, use a study based on that. If you are writing about caring for patient’s, us an article related to that and so on.

It is double spaced, use an APA formatter. Use Grammarly to check your work. this should be a learning experience and not torture.
