Mill argues that utilitarianism requires us to be strictly impartial. That is to say, my own happiness and well being do not count any more than that of anyone else who will be affected by my actions, including complete strangers. But, according to this standard of strict impartiality, who else’s happiness doesn’t count any more than that of a complete stranger? Are all human beings all equally morally worthy, and worthy of equal moral consideration, by anyone? Is it ever right to give preferential treatment to some people (say, my children) from a moral perspective? Or, does Mill have it right, and does morality require impartiality, even when it leads to some really difficult choices?

Que. Your mission for this question is to experience life as You are to attempt to WALK LIKE KAMALA(Kamala & amala case). For 30 - 40 minutes, walk as a human quadruped. Describe what it feels like. What are the problems and difficulties of such an activity? You must try a variety of surfaces (carpeted and non-carpeted, outside if you dare) as well as going up and down a flight of stairs. What did all of this teach you about the case of the feral children who used quadruped locomotion? The difficult part of this question is that since I cannot prove you did these activities --- you have to convince me you actually did these activities.

The toxic effects of ingesting methanol can be reduced by administering ethanol. The ethanol acts as a competitive inhibitor of methanol by displacing it from LADH. If an individual has ingested 50 mL of methanol, how much 100 proof whiskey (50% ethanol by volume) must be imbibed to reduce the activity (Vo) of his LADH towards methanol to 3% of its original value? The adult human body contains ~40L of aqueous fluids throughout which ingested alcohols are rapidly and uniformly mixed. Assume the concentration of methanol in the body is 18mM and whiskey is 6.5M ethanol. Assume the KM values of LADH for ethanol and methanol to be 10-3 M and 10-2 M, respectively, and that Ki = KM for ethanol.

Women's involvement in physical activity and sports was often limited due to medical rhetoric that associated women's reproductive systems with weakness and fragility. What are some examples of this found in this week's lecture and reading. What impact does this history of medical/reproductive barriers still have on girls and women today? These early held beliefs about human reproduction still influences our language today - "that person has balls" versus "that person is a pussy" has opposite meanings where the male reproductive system is associated with strength while the female reproductive system is associated with weakness. Are there other examples of how this thinking impacts our lives perhaps without us realizing it until now?

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4 to 3 to win the 2008 major league baseball World Series (The Philadelphia Inquirer, October 29, 2008). Earlier in the major league baseball playoffs, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the National League Championship, while the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Boston Red Sox to win the American League Championship. The file MLBSalaries contains the salaries for the 28 players on each of these four teams (USA Today Salary Database, October 2008). The data, shown in thousands of dollars, have been ordered from the highest salary to the lowest salary for each team.

1. Analyze the salaries for the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies. What is the total payroll for the team? What is the median salary? What is the five-number summary?

2. Were there salary outliers for the Philadelphia Phillies? If so, how many and what were the salary amounts?

3. What is the total payroll for each of the other three teams? Develop the five-number summary for each team and identify any outliers.

4. Show the box plots of the salaries for all four teams. What are your interpretations? Of these four teams, does it appear that the team with the higher salaries won the league championships and the World Series?
