A 60-year-old man suffering from high blood pressure has been seeing a doctor for 2 years. One night he collapsed while taking a bath at home and then was taken to ER, diagnosed subarachnoid hemorrhage. Eventually, he became to be in a brain death condition. He has executed a living will which mentions that he does not wish any treatment for life extension when there is no possibility of recovering from coma condition. Which means, according to his living will, his doctor needs to take a ventilator away from him soon. His wife, however, is not prepared for that moment and asked the doctor to wait for a little more time although she has known about her husband’s living will very well. She seems to be stable when she is staying by his bed, but when the doctor talks to her about taking a ventilator from him, she becomes emotional so that the doctor cannot go on to the next step. The doctor is afraid of that she will be suffered from mental illness if the ventilator was taken away from her husband while the doctor concerns the patient’s living will. The couple has two daughters and a son who are both in their 30s and 20s, and 3 grandchildren. They are all living around the town and come to a hospital few times a week. The family relationship is very well.

Questions

1. How should the balance between a living will and family’s wish be taken in this case?
2. What would you do if you were his doctor? How about if you were one of the children of the couple?

3. Is a living will always prior to other’s request? What are the legal perspectives on a living will in your country?

4. Is the patient’s right violated because his living will have been ignored?

5. If a ventilator is taken away from the patient against his wife’s request, is it possible to say that the wife’s right or dignity was ignored by a sole interest of society which here is a system of “living will”?

1. Identify and describe three major research methods. For each, identify a strength and a weakness. Give a specific example of each.

siFind a product, service, or political website that utilizes pseudoscience to make its claims. Provide the link to the specific page that makes the claims. 2. Identify at least 4 criteria (from the list of 10) from the lecture that make it qualify as a pseudoscience. Make sure to name the criteria and provide a specific example from the website (a quote would be good). Make sure to explain how the example exemplifies the criteria. Use numerated or bulleted lists to help organize your layout. Here is the lecture that I have to watch to answer the question 3. Explain how the 6 criteria of scientific reasoning apply to this case. How does the website fail to uphold it? Or how do criteria help you clarify what claims to accept or reject? Identify the criteria as you give your 10 signs of a pseudoscience: 1- Outward appearance of science. 2- absence of skeptical pre review 3- reliance on personal experience 4- evasion of risky tests 5- retreats to the supernatural 6- the mantra of holism 7- tolerance of inconsistencies 8- appeals to authority 9- promising the imposible 10- Stagnation.

the six test scientific reasoning are: 1- falsifiability 2- logic3-honesty5-replicability6- sufficincy

A main, foundational teaching in Hinduism is that people are looking to break free from samsara, the cycle of death and rebirth that we call reincarnation. Interestingly, many people in the West (non-Hindus) speak of reincarnation lightly or fondly. There are people who believe in reincarnation and find it to be a good thing, or who sort of joke about reincarnation. Why, from the Hindu perspective, might reincarnation be a bad thing? Why do people pursue their religious beliefs and practices in order to achieve moksha?

Macy’s, a multi-billion dollar company, has announced plans to restructure in order to stay afloat. Part of that restructure was laying off 4 thousand employees, an overwhelming task for HR. Whether you were getting laid off or moving forward with the company, every single employee had to be contacted. That was a lot of phone calls involving manual work for the HR department. In the future there should be an automated function for these tasks, howeverThey have made plans to completely restructure how they sell and these plans will begin taking effect in July. I am a shoe expeditor and our jobs will be changing. The shoe departments will be open-sell (help yourself) systems where we will get less hours. In my opinion, it opens the department up to more theft, as people already ‘try on’ shoes and swap out the new shoes with their old ones when employees are not looking. It could be a recipe for disaster.

Review the material in chapter 6 on the Elaboration Likelihood Model.

1. The Elaboration Likelihood Model suggests that there are two ways to persuade people: the central route and the peripheral route. Pretend you work for an advertising agency. You must design two ads for a new candy bar: one that will appeal to those people in the peripheral route and one that will appeal to those in the central route.
2. Write a brief essay in which you explain the ads that you would develop or actually create the ads with graphics, etc. Then, include a description of the two routes, why each ad would appeal to a person in a particular route, and what things determine if a person will use the peripheral or central route.

Describe TWO factors an "essential secret" has on the development of patterns of closeness within a real or fictional family. Use specific examples of an essential secret that could be used in a family.

Read this excerpt from Plato's Republic and then consider this question:

Glaucon argues that people will always act unethically if there is no chance of being caught. Do you agree or disagree?

Note: Gyges' ring is like the ring that Frodo carried in The Lord of the Rings. It gives invisibility.

_______________________________________________

The Ring of Gyges, from Book II of Plato’s Republic.

Instructor’s note: This is part of a dialogue between Socrates (who represents Plato’s view) and Glaucon (Plato’s older brother). Earlier in the dialogue, Socrates has given an argument about the nature and importance of justice. The character Glaucon disagrees with Socrates, and this excerpt is Glaucon’s speech regarding the nature of justice.

Now that those who practice justice do so involuntarily and because they have not the power to be unjust, will best appear if we imagine something of this kind: having given both to the just and the unjust power to do what they will, let us watch and see whither desire will lead them; then we shall discover in the very act the just and unjust man to be proceeding along the same road, following their interest, which all natures deem to be their good, and are only diverted into the path of justice by the force of law. The liberty which we are supposing may be most completely given to them in the form of such a power as is said to have been possessed by Gyges the ancestor of Croesus the Lydian.

According to the tradition, Gyges was a shepherd in the service of the king of Lydia; there was a great storm, and an earthquake made an opening in the earth at the place where he was feeding his flock. Amazed at the sight, he descended into the opening, where, among other marvels, he beheld a hollow brazen horse, having doors, at which he stooping and looking in saw a dead body of stature, as appeared to him, more than human, and having nothing on but a gold ring; this he took from the finger of the dead and reascended. Now the shepherds met together, according to custom, that they might send their monthly report about the flocks to the king; into their assembly he came having the ring on his finger, and as he was sitting among them he chanced to turn the collet of the ring inside his hand, when instantly he became invisible to the rest of the company and they began to speak of him as if he were no longer present. He was astonished at this, and again touching the ring he turned the collet outwards and reappeared; he made several trials of the ring, and always with the same result-when he turned the collet inwards he became invisible, when outwards he reappeared. Whereupon he contrived to be chosen one of the messengers who were sent to the court; where as soon as he arrived he seduced the queen, and with her help conspired against the king and slew him, and took the kingdom.

Suppose now that there were two such magic rings, and the just put on one of them and the unjust the other; no man can be imagined to be of such an iron nature that he would stand fast in justice. No man would keep his hands off what was not his own when he could safely take what he liked out of the market, or go into houses and lie with any one at his pleasure, or kill or release from prison whom he would, and in all respects be like a God among men. Then the actions of the just would be as the actions of the unjust; they would both come at last to the same point. And this we may truly affirm to be a great proof that a man is just, not willingly or because he thinks that justice is any good to him individually, but of necessity, for wherever anyone thinks that he can safely be unjust, there he is unjust. For all men believe in their hearts that injustice is far more profitable to the individual than justice, and he who argues as I have been supposing, will say that they are right. If you could imagine any one obtaining this power of becoming invisible, and never doing any wrong or touching what was another's, he would be thought by the lookers-on to be a most wretched idiot, although they would praise him to one another's faces, and keep up appearances with one another from a fear that they too might suffer injustice.

Please read the case study entitled “Casinos and Crime” that you find in the reading assignment. Based on what you have learned in this unit, answer the following questions: 1. In most casino states and counties, laws protect owners from liability claims arising from problems caused by gambling. In ethical terms, however, if you’re the sole proprietor of the casino, do you feel any responsibility for this episode? Why or why not? If you feel any responsibility, to whom would it be? What could you do to set things right? 2. You’re an equal partner in a nonprofit organization that runs the casino to support the cause of building schools for children in impoverished sections of Peru. You spend a few months every year down there building schools and giving free English-language classes. In ethical terms (and regardless of what the law allows), do you believe anyone involved in this episode should be able to sue you personally for their suffering? Why or why not? 3. Say that the casino under discussion in this set of questions is the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, which is owned by a large, public corporation. You have five shares of stock inherited a few years ago when a relative died. You are legally protected from liability claims. In ethical terms, however, do you believe that anyone involved in this episode should be able to sue you personally—or just plain blame you—for their suffering? Why or why not? 4. Pigouvian taxes (named after economist Arthur Pigou, a pioneer in the theory of externalities) attempt to correct externalities—and so formalize a corporate social responsibility—by levying a tax equal to the costs of the externality to society. The casino, in other words, that causes crime and other problems costing society, say, $1 million should pay a $1 million tax. In terms of casinos, would such a tax more or less satisfy any ethical claim that could be made against them for the social problems they cause? Why or why not? https://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/business-ethics/s17-05-case-studies.html
