Yaw Mathew, Kofi John and eighteen (18) others are employees of SameXYZ Limited, a giant coffee production company located in the Industrial Area of Ghana. They work in the coffee factory of the company. In December 2017, a trade union representing the employees in the coffee factory made certain demands on the company, including demand for pay rise. There were negotiation proceedings following which a settlement was reached between the company and the trade union. Under the settlement, the monthly salary of each coffee factory employee is to be increased from the current amount of GH₵1,500.00 to GH₵ 2,250.00, an increase of 50% over and above the previous salary. It was agreed that the increment was to take effect from January 2018. In January 2018, the employees were put on the new salaries but it was observed that the company was making certain unexplained deductions of GH₵100.00 from the monthly salary of each employee, apart from the lawful deductions. When the employees complained to the company regarding the deductions, they were told that the said amount was a pecuniary penalty imposed on them by the company and that the company owed them no explanation whatsoever. They were further told that any employee who was not ready to suffer the deductions was free to resign. The employees are of the view that such deductions are not permitted under the Labour Act but do not know what to do to halt the deductions and recover the deductions made so far. They have come to you for your legal opinion on such deductions and the steps they can take to halt future deductions and also recover previous deductions as prescribed by law

Kate is a 17 years old patient, unmarried and 8 weeks pregnant. She is a rather remarkable girl in that she lives independently while still a senior in a high school. She tells you that she was an adoptee given back to foster care, and then abused in that system. She is now an emancipated minor who works 30 hours per week at a service industry job while also earning a 4.0 GPA in school, ranking in the top 10% of her class. She is college-bound, with a full-ride scholarship for pre-med undergraduate studies at a prestigious university. ?Kate has absolutely no family support, and the former boyfriend who is the father of her unborn child/fetus simply disappeared upon learning of the pregnancy. Your patient is scared, uninsured, and says she doesn’t want to be pregnant or a mom (“Perhaps someday, but not now!”). She rejects the adoption option, based on her own experience growing up, and requests abortion only, at this hospital where she has always received medical care.”

Questions for discussion ?1. Your faith-based health care system rejects elective abortion option. What ought to be done for Kate? And by whom?

"Freshman 15": Fact or Fantasy? BOSTON Along with all of the typical "back-to-school" hype about lunch boxes and school buses, each September is typically greeted with media reports and advice about the "freshman 15," which is the popular name given to the phenomenon of first-year college students gaining 15 pounds during their freshman year. But does this 15 pound weight gain actually occur, or is it simply a myth? Carole Nhu'y Hodge, Linda Jackson, and Linda Sullivan are Michigan State University researchers who conducted their own investigation. They studied 61 Michigan State female students who took an introductory psychology course. The volunteers, who were given extra credit for participation in the experiment, were weighed at the beginning of their freshman year and at a point in time six month later. Among their findings reported in Psychology of Women Quarterly : "Body weight at the beginning of the first college year (Time 1) was compared with weight approximately 6 months later (Time 2). Average weight at Time 2, 131.45 lb (59.62 kg), was no different from average weight at Time 1, 130.57 lb (59.23 kg)." They also state that "Our findings suggest it (the 15-lb weight gain)is fantasy, although additional research is needed before drawing firm conclusions."

The Assignment:

Answer the following:

1. What do the researchers infer when they say that there is "no difference" between the mean weight at Time 1 (130.57 lb) and the mean weight at Time 2 (131.45lb), when there is an apparent difference of 0.88-lb?
2. What are the limitations of this particular study? That is, if the sample data are used to make inferences about a population, identify the specific population in question.
3. Identify any aspects of the experiment that could potentially threaten the validity of the results.
4. Identify a possible null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for this experiment.
5. Your submission is to be a well-written grammatically correct response.

9.   Columbia won’t discriminate on the basis of religious belief. Historically, some creeds have been singled out more than others for abuse, but one that’s not often found on the list of mistreatment is Haitian Voodoo. Houngan Hector of New Jersey identifies himself as an asogwepriest of Haitian voodoo. His story is interesting. He claims to have been hit by an ancestor at the age of seven, and so began his spiritual journey. Eventually, it led Houngan Hector to perform spiritual cleansings for money. They haven’t always gone well. According to this newspaper story in the Philadelphia Daily News: “Lucille Hamilton paid $621 to have her ‘spiritual grime’ removed by voodoo high priest Houngan Hector in an ordinary townhouse in Camden County. Hamilton, 21, a male living as a woman, flew in on Friday from her home in Little Rock, Arkansas to take part in the three-day spiritual cleansing. By Saturday night Hamilton was dead, and authorities are awaiting results of an autopsy and toxicology tests to determine exactly what happened.”[1]

Here’s Houngan Hector’s advertisement for his services on his MySpace page, as it was reported in Odd Culture: “I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals resolve their issues, and well over 9 years of helping people through the means of the Haitian Voodoo tradition. Having gotten individuals out of jail, brought lovers back, and improved people’s financial situation, I keep myself humble remembering it is not I who does it. It is God and Ginen who resolves.” [2]

The three basic ethical arguments against discrimination (and, in this case, discrimination based on personal religious belief) are fairness, rights, and utilitarianism.

• Choose one and make the case that Houngan Hector—who was never charged with any crime—should be treated like any other applicant for a job at Columbia University.
• Can any of the three arguments be used to show that discriminating against Haitian voodoo believers is ethically acceptable, even recommendable?
