If you were building a case against her, what evidence (from the play) would you use? Be sure to think through concepts, such as circumstantial evidence, hearsay, motive, and what might or might not be admissible in court as you make your case here.

The family services agency where you counsel survivors of domestic violence is undergoing significant budget cuts. The agency's administration has indicated that it will need to eliminate some services in order to stay afloat. Programs that may be targeted include day-care for working parents, sex education and contraception counseling for teens, or the thriving but expensive foreign adoptions program. The agency’s other alternatives include elimination of the domestic violence counseling program, decreasing staff for all programs, or significantly cutting workers’ salaries across the board. The community has depended on your agency and its various services for many years, as adequate alternate services do not exist elsewhere in the community.

The Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus was the country's third largest circus during the early 1900s, and was considered to be the Midwestern version of PT Barnum's East Coast show. Trains were the transportation method of choice for many circuses, as they could travel faster and more efficiently, and therefore increase their number of shows (and consequently, their profits). However, there were a lot of new risks that came along with traveling by train. The Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus faced a number of devastating accidents in the early part of the 20th ercentury, including a couple of train crashes and a flooded river that wiped out many of their animals and much of their equipment. The disaster in 1918, however, was by far the worst. The video explains many of the specific details of the accident. It's also important to understand that the sleeper cars on trains were generally made of wood, and lighted by oil lamps. Upon impact, the oil lamps started a fire; many of the victims died within the first 30 seconds of the crash. Amazingly, the circus only missed two performances. Other circuses stepped up and provided equipment, performers, and extra crew members to help them finish out their season. Many of the victims were never identified, and there are still dozens who were never accounted for. The train engineer was charged with manslaughter, but the trial ultimately ended in a deadlocked jury and a mistrial. The prosecutor opted not to re-try the case, and all of the charges were dropped.

The discussion board question for this week is ethical relativism correct. To understand the question, you first must know what definition of ethical relativism. According to dictionary.com, "Ethical relativism is the belief that nothing is objectively right or wrong and that the definition of right or wrong depends on the prevailing view of a particular individual, culture, or historical period". An example of ethical relativism would be homosexuality. Many countries are against homosexuality and there are countries that support them. The United States of America are one of the many countries that continue to create strides for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Community (LGBT). Uganda is one of the many countries that are against homosexuality. They have an Anti-Homosexuality Act, which was signed in 2014 that will grant you with life in prison or the death penalty

The United States has begun to grant rights to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in 2003 after the United States Supreme Court ruling in Lawrence v. Texas. Back in 1973 Texas had a law that homosexual contact was a criminal act. The police were sent to the home of Mr. Lawrence to responds to a call about weapons. When the police entered the home, they caught Mr. Lawrence and another man in a sexual act. This court ruling found that same sex sodomy is a violation of right to privacy. This day has become the foundation of many LGBT right to come. On June 26, 2015 same sex marriage was established in all fifty states.  

Uganda is one of the many countries in Africa that does not believe in Homosexuality rights. The country of Uganda has signed an Anti-Homosexuality act in 2014 with strict punishments if caught or accused of homosexual acts.  These countries ethical relativism toward homosexuality is totally different than what the United States of America has. Uganda ethical relativism towards this issue is that homosexuality is wrong and has no place in their country. Some of the penalties of getting caught is life in jail or the death penalty. Which is the main reason behind many of the people fleeing the country due to this act in Kenya where being a part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Community is more acceptable.  

I believe ethical relativism is correct There are multiple countries with different ways of living. Some countries believe in polygamy and other countries believe that it is wrong. We may live on the same earth, but we do not live under the same rules. In Nigeria the age of sexual consent is eleven and in the state of Virginia the age of consent is eighteen. According to girlsnotbrides.org forty-four percent of the young women are married before eighteen and seventeen percent married before fifth-teen.  

It is very easy to understand why some of my classmates may choose the ethical relativism is incorrect. A person's culture plays a large part in ethical relativism, but there are many things that are wrong even though they are culture norms. Such as in the sexual consent age in Nigeria. In my eyes at the age of eleven I do not believe a child can give consent.

Hello, please answer the following discussion topic on what your own option is and what you think.

Obviously excessive consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to developmental problems for a woman's unborn child. Problems include things such as fetal alcohol syndrome. There have been cases in which restaurants have refused to serve pregnant women even a single alcoholic beverage. What do you think about this practice? And what do you think about the whole notion of moderate alcohol consumption during pregnancy?

Here are my following options over the topic, please let me know what you think and why you think what you think about this discussion.  

discussion 1

Prior to reading this discussion topic, I had yet to really consider alcohol consumption during pregnancy beyond the realms of it as something we (as folx who have the opportunity to bear children) are taught is not an option. Thinking about this in a broader context, however, it may be important to consider the realities of addiction and that in some scenarios excessive alcohol consumption extends beyond the realms of a “choice." However, in terms of refusal to provide service to an obviously pregnant person, my conceptualization of this practice is in agreeance; in that those who are pregnant should not be afforded the opportunity to drink alcohol in a restaurant/bar setting due to the known developmental concerns (fetal alcohol syndrome, partial-fetal alcohol syndrome, and alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder) associated with alcohol consumption during pregnancy. My main reasoning for this line of thinking is rooted in the reality that alcohol usage during pregnancy, even when consumed in moderation, can lead to teratogens and thus, even moderate or slight use should be avoided and discouraged (Berk, 2017). Additionally, my understanding of other forms of service refusal, such as cutting folx off when there is enough evidence for a bartender to assume they have exceeded their limits, further supports this belief. In particular, this practice is seemingly similar to withholding alcohol service to pregnant folx, which is based on the bartender’s discretion and is done in attempt to mitigate instances of harm.

discussion 2

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy has proven to effect the development of the child's physical and mental state, and a restaurants ability to refuse alcohol service to a pregnant women only acts a protective barrier for the child that is unable to voice for themselves. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders can hinder the child's ability to learn, articulate themselves linguistically, and lead to health issues in the vital organs. Although there is not a known amount of alcohol that begins to impact the development of the fetus, the potential neurological and physical impacts that this can have outweighs the short-term satisfaction that alcohol can provide. With this being said, I agree that restaurants should have the ability to refuse service to a pregnant woman, but many woman do not began to physically show signs of pregnancy until the second trimester; as a result of this, many woman can get a way with having a drink or two. Although I believe that restaurants should have the ability to refuse alcohol service to a pregnant woman, education on the mothers side is vital to preventing alcohol consumption from even taking place. Even if the mother has an alcohol addiction, education could help sway the mother from wanting to continue, but this does not always prove to be fruitful; hence, a restaurants right to refuse service can help protect the child from being a product of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
