On the TV show MASH an army surgeon performed an unnecessary operation on a battalion commander to remove him from battle during the time he would need to recuperate from the surgery. The surgeon did this because he believed that the commander was over-aggressive which resulted in an abnormally high casualty rate among his men. A fellow surgeon counseled the operating surgeon that it is unethical to operate on a healthy body. However, the operating surgeon felt he was justified because he would probably save the lives of many men while the commander was recuperating. He believed more good than harm would come from performing the operation. To what extend do you feel each surgeon was right in his moral position. Does the good end justify the means? Use a specific form of egoism or utilitarianism for each surgeon. Define the term(s) you use in the response.

Becky is a first-year player on a nationally ranked women’s NCAA Division I tennis team. She is six feet tall with a powerful left-handed serve. Her groundstrokes are technically sound, but she makes too many unforced errors. Her volleys are solid, and she moves well for a tall player. As a high school tennis player, Becky always played a great deal in the spring and summer, but never practiced in the fall or winter. In addition, she never participated in junior tennis associations.
In her senior year in high school, Becky won her state high school singles and doubles championship. She was especially dominant in doubles, winning the state finals 6-2, 6-1. It was after these accomplishments that the tennis coach of Major University contacted her about playing collegiate tennis.
The fall season was a rude awakening for Becky. Not only did she not make the starting lineup, but she also did not even make the traveling squad. In addition, she lost every challenge match she played except one. Becky began to feel that maybe she was not such a good tennis player after all. She stopped hanging around with her new college friends because she thought they would not like her since she was such a “loser.”
Compared to the other women on her college tennis team, Becky had very little experience. Most of her teammates had played the junior tennis circuit and had achieved national rankings or, at the very least, sectional rankings. The coach believes Becky is a very talented tennis player, but her lack of experience has held her back. The coach has told her that she is number 9 out of 12 players on the team.
Your role on the team is that of a student sport psychology consultant. One day about three weeks into the spring season, Becky comes to you before practice and says, “I need help. I’ve got no confidence, the coach doesn’t believe in me, and I’m not having any fun. Every time I step on the tennis court, I feel so anxious I could throw up. My heart is pounding, and I can't stop thinking about how likely I am to screw something up.” You set up a time to talk, and the next day meet in your office.
Identify how anxiety, arousal, and stress might play a facilitative or debilitative role in Becky’s performances within the case. Use at least one specific theory to explain your answer.
Identify three intervention strategies that Becky can use to help manage her anxiety, arousal, and/or stress. For each strategy, discuss why this strategy will work based on relevant theory and research. (please expand on all areas as much as you can)

Under the Constitution and our federal system of government, some powers are reserved for the national government and some for the state governments; and, some are shared. Please tell us about laws and regulations you work with in your daily lives. Try to list some of each. Example -- If we take the bus, the registration and inspection is a state mandate, while the bus construction is a federal mandate, and emissions controls are mandated by the national government, but inspected by the state. Other examples are work rules, etc.
