Use the internet and source at least 10 applicable and informative references most of which have been published within the last 5 years (DO NOT use Wikipedia). 5 of these must be from peer Environmental Science Article reviewed journals. – try Web of Science as a start – and don’t just rely on Google Scholar. You can also source relevant case studies. Write a no more than 1500 word (not including reference list) article on your topic using your references for information. The article must summarise and describe your topic for a general audience (e.g. like an article in New Scientist) and use of case examples will lift this. Make sure you think about the structure and flow (I will mark this as well as scientific content) – the article will need:  an engaging title,  a good introduction with a succinct description of the background to the topic (e.g. pollutants, hazards, problems etc),  informative body of text to discuss the issue with good illustration using relevant case studies,  and a where to from here conclusion.

Government Topic Paper – “Is it wrong to lock up young killers… FOREVER??” Civil Liberties are laws that restrain the powers of our government to prevent abuse and oppression of citizens. This Government Topic Paper will deal with Civil Liberties, in particular, juveniles convicted of murder. On January 25, 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a 6-3 ruling on a case that dealt with a previous 2012 Supreme Court ruling regarding mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juvenile killers. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court banned mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juvenile killers. In 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that their 2012 decision must be applied retroactively – meaning all such mandatory life-without-parole sentences given to juveniles before 2012 must be reconsidered. The case is Montgomery v. Louisiana. In TWO pages maximum, please discuss (1) what this case (Montgomery v. Lousiana) was about (the issues the U.S. Supreme Court was asked to consider), (2) who supports the ban on mandatory life-without-parole sentences on juveniles and why, (3) who opposes the ban on mandatory life-without-parole sentences (in other words, wants to be able to sentence juveniles to mandatory life-without-parole) and why, (4) where do you stand regarding this issue/Court case and why? NOTE: For supporters and critics, DO NOT consider the Supreme Court Justices. Find supporters and critics who are NOT Supreme Court Justices – e.g. state officials, civil libertarians, senators, congressmen/women, attorneys general, law enforcement leaders, etc. TWO pages maximum, which means each section should only be about ½-page. There are no right or wrong positions, only well defended or poorly defended positions. You may agree with the 6-majority, or agree with the 3-minority, it doesn’t matter to me. What matters to me is a well researched and argued paper from you. ONLY YOUR NAME AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. Anything other than your name will consume precious space that you will need to adequately address each section, and if you include anything beyond your name at the top, your assignment will be assessed a -5 point penalty. CITATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Citations must be proper and complete. If you do not know how to properly cite sources, please review your English 1A notes, or seek help at the Language Success Center (BEB-101). NO CITATIONS = 0-points for the assignment, JUST A LIST OF SOURCES AT THE END WITH NO CITATIONS IN ANY OF THE FIRST THREE SECTIONS = 0-points for the assignment. I apologize for the ALL CAPS, but I can’t emphasize enough that proper citations are absolutely required for any research work, even if it’s only two pages long. Your work must be word processed in a format that my Chaffey equipment can open, such as MS Word (.doc/.docx), rtf (Rich Text Format), odt (Open Document Text), etc. My Chaffey equipment cannot open certain formats, such as MS Works (.wps) files. If I cannot open your file, then I can’t read it, and thus I won’t be able to give you any points for it. So, please submit it in MS Word, rtf, or odt.

Existentialism in Film Since so many of you mentioned Kierkegaard in some of the forums, and he is often considered the father of existentialism, I thought it would be a good idea to have you read just a bit more about existentialism from IP (some sections I believe I did not assign from the ch. 4 on “Self”) and have you watch one of a few different films that are commonly pointed to as examples of existentialism in film. After reading and watching, if you write a thoughtful 1.5-2 page (double spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman, 1 inch margins) reflection on how you see some of the emphases and ideas of existentialism popping up in the film, I’ll give you 10 points Extra Credit. Due Thurs. July 27th by 11:55pm. Couple ground rules. If you have a perfect score in the class, or only a few points off a perfect score, obviously, you by definition cannot receive the credit (or all the credit). If you do this project, it won’t be one of those credit for just doing it kinds of things, and I’m pretty good at catching a “I just read some cliff notes and summary websites on the topic” kind of paper.  This is a great way to make up some missed forums of missed assignments, so give it a shot. Plus, these movies are sweet, and existentialism works very well in film. Pages to read in IP: 303-310 Here are the options to watch: No Country for Old Men (2007) The Thin Red Line (1998) Fight Club (1999) Broken Flowers (2005) The Straight Story (1999)

Topic: Select one of the two ethical dilemmas below and examine the case in detail from the perspective of what you think to be the preferred ethical stance from which to approach this issue. In addition to detailing how you think the particular stance you’ve chosen best guides how one should act in the situation, make sure to briefly explain how the ethical stance you’ve chosen makes the outcome or reasoning process different from (or similar to) the other stances you did no choose. In other words, explore your chosen stance in detail, explaining why you think it’s the best stance to take, and also compare and contrast it with at least two other ethical stances. The goal here is for you to learn how to apply a particular type of ethical reasoning (your chosen ‘stance’) to a particular situation and be able to analyze how the theory behind the particular stance directs the reasoning process and action outcome in the situation. From the readings from our first week of Ethics readings in IP, the four Ethical Stance options are: Ethical Egoism, Virtue Ethics (Aristotle), Deontology (Kant),Utilitarianism (Bentham/Mill). Ethical Dilemma Options: Ethical Dilemma A: After stopping by Coldstone after work with friends, you (and only you) witness a woman enter a bank across the street and rob the tellers at gunpoint. No violence breaks out. By happenstance, you come to find out that the robber subsequently donate the money to a child rescue shelter for kids in grave need that was at risk of closing to do funding cuts. The stolen money allowed the shelter to stay open and the kids will continue to receive much needed services. If you report the crime, the money will surely be taken back and the shelter closed. Do you report the crime of keep quiet? Ethical Dilemma B:As a volunteer nurse serving in west Africa for the past month, you’ve come down with the Ebola virus, but you’re still in charge of the facility where everybody now has it. An experimental antibiotic has arrived, which has “not been sufficiently experimented with in enough safe clinical trials with human beings.” You have the opportunity to give the drug to any number of the infected persons, including yourself. Again, the drug has shown to have positive effects on the virus, but its potential harmful side effects are still completely unknown. It is truly experimental. There will be more medical support relief and safer, proven antibiotics coming in three weeks time, but there will likely be 40-50% percent casualty rates in the facility within that time. The exact number can never be known for sure as the virus infects and breaks down different people differently. What do you do (if anything) with the experimental supplement? Administer to all? A few? None? Sample Paper Ex: Details: • Paper must be 5full pages double spaced (2 pgs overview of dilemma ethical and philosophical issues raised by the dilemma/ 3 pgs reflection/analysis) • Use MLA style—See Chaffey success center website for MLA format details: http://libguides.chaffey.edu/content.php?pid=410919&sid=3359903 • Cite at least 2 philosophical sources beyond your text book (books, journal, articles, etc.) • Use footnote format • One Inch Margins • Times New Roman font • Due week 7 by July 23rd @

write an explication about any one (1) of the poems listed in the last bullet (below). An explication is a kind of argument academic writers make about a work of literature that says both what that work means and also how the author produces that meaning through the use of (in the case of poetry) language. Students should review this website in order to gain a better understanding of the characteristics and typical concerns appropriate for poetry explication. Additionally, students will find the poetry-related links in the Reading and Writing about Poetry topic area of the Moodle site useful for any “level” of poetry reader, from neophyte to aficionado. What? How? • As you explain the what and the how, stick close to the text of the poem: You must use specifics of the text as evidence to support your claims about what the poem means and how it achieves that meaning, and you should use Modern Language Association (MLA) style for the standards of poetry usage and citation. • The written explication will be evaluated on the quality of thesis and supporting argument, on proper MLA-style integration of relevant and sufficient textual support, and on the quality of written expression. • The written explication should be approximately 1,000 words in length, and should be double-spaced and word-processed. For other MS Word document format guidelines, please consult any of the newer handouts and handbooks available in the Writing Center or in online writing centers. •Students submit their papers via e-mail or upload to Moodle. • For this assignment, choose one (1) of the following poems: “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas “Pied Beauty” by Gerard Manley Hopkins “After great pain a formal feeling comes—” by Emily Dickinson “The Second Coming” by W. B. Yeats “Cootchie” by Elizabeth Bishop “anyone lived in a pretty how town” by e. e. cummings “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” by Langston Hughes “Tension” by Billy Collins

Assignment 1: Informed Consent and Confidentiality Similar to Module 2, your post for this module has two parts dealing with informed consent and confidentiality. Both informed consent and confidentiality are essential to the counseling relationship. Informed consent promotes respect, autonomy, and the client’s best interests in allowing them to make a rational decision regarding whether to enter into or to continue with the counseling relationship. One of the essential elements of informed consent is confidentiality or, more specifically, limitations of confidentiality. Counselors must not only familiarize clients with exceptions to confidentiality but also ensure that clients are aware of specific laws in their jurisdiction relevant to the release of confidential information. This assignment will not only help you think through what counselors need to include in an informed consent document but will also help familiarize you with personal conflicts counselors may experience regarding mandatory or permissive reporting. This assignment is geared toward helping you not only be vigilant about client informed consent but also to allow you to give some forethought to personal feelings that might arise regarding confidentiality breeches. Tasks: On the basis of this module’s readings and research on the Internet, respond to the following in a minimum of 300 words: Part 1: Informed consent is essential to ethical practice. Discuss the following: Explain why informed consent is of paramount importance from an ethical perspective. Aside from confidentiality, discuss what elements are involved in adequate informed consent from a legal and ethical perspective and how are these accomplished within clinical practice (discuss a minimum of three legal and ethical perspectives). Explain why counselors find it challenging to conduct informed consent. Discuss what counselors can do to always ensure this ethical mandate is executed. Part 2: Confidentiality between a therapist and a client is a cornerstone of the practice. Discuss the following: Analyze and discuss whether a requirement that therapists report in cases of child and elder abuse is appropriate. Examine and discuss whether permissive reporting (i.e., personal or professional judgment regarding reporting) or mandatory reporting yields better results. Why or why not? When responding to this question, be sure to reference the lecture content, laws in your state, and relevant codes of ethics and articles or texts related to this topic. Do not just give your opinion. Support your discussion with resources from professional literature in your response. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu or .gov). Read all of your classmates’ postings and comment on current practices or additional strategies to use when writing your response to other students’ postings. Think about the language you use to comment constructively on other students’ posts. Do not just say “I agree” or “good job.” Submission Details: By Wednesday, July 12, 2017, post your responses to the Discussion Area From your textbook, Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions, read the following chapter: Confidentiality: Ethical and Legal Issues From the Argosy University online library resources, read the following articles: NBCC Code of Ethics. (2012). In Case of Ethical Dilemma, Break Glass: Commentary on Ethical Decision Making in Practice From the Internet, read the following article: United States Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights. (2003). Summary of the HIPAA privacy rule. Washington, DC: Author. Retrieved from http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/summary/privacysummary.pdf
