questions:
1. What sorts of things did Genie not know how to do because she was kept in isolation
and did not undergo a “normal” socialization process?
2. What can a “wild child” like Genie teach us about socialization, deviance, and human
development?
3. What do such feral children reveal to us about the importance of nurture when
considering the age-old debate of nature versus nurture?

Purdue Global University Writing assignment - Mill and Kant
WRITING ASSIGNMENT - MILL AND KANTRead the following thought experiment from Philippa Foot and then write an essay that answers the questions that follow:
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story our choice is between a course of action which will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press) 1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how? 2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation. 3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim. Formatting: • The body of the essay must be (1500 words) in length • 1 inch margins

Or, you might see this in a literature review in which a student just summarizes the articles in the order in which they are read.
2. “All About” Writing - “All About” writing strives to say EVERYTHING about a topic or issue. The paper may be somewhat organized because the student has addressed things topically but s/he has also failed to produce a thesis or position that guides the paper. The topics are, then, not reasons for the thesis. The structure is inappropriate and ineffective in a thesis-governed paper.
3. “Data Dump” Writing - “Data Dumps” on the other hand have no apparent structure. There is little transition or cohesion between the things that are stated and discussed. The student has no guiding thesis, no guiding idea, and so s/he goes to Google and grabs it all.

Read "Case 4: Research on Intimate Partner Violence and the Duty to Protect" on pages 435-436 in your textbook. Once you have read the case study completely, answer the discussion questions below in 350-500 words. Use one to two scholarly resources to support your answer. When appropriate, use in-text citations according to APA formatting. Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma?How are APA Ethical Standards 2.01f, 3.04, 3.06, 4.01, 4.02, 4.05, and 8.01 relevant to this case? Which other standards might apply?What is Dr. Yeung’s ethical alternatives for resolving this dilemma? Which alternative best reflects the Ethics Code aspirational principles and enforceable standards, legal standards, and obligations to stakeholders? Can you identify the ethical theory (discussed in Chapter 3) guiding your decision?What steps should Dr. Yeung take to implement her decision and monitor its effect?Aidan is a research participant in this scenario. What are rights to privacy and confidentiality? How was this established? Under the circumstances in this scenario, what are the ethical issues related to his confidentiality and/or privacy? While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. Case 4. Research on Intimate Partner Violence and the Duty to Protect Dr. Daniela Yeung, a health psychologist, has been conducting a federally funded ethnographic study of couples in which the male partner has been paroled following conviction and imprisonment for intimate partner violence (IPV). Over the course of a year, she has had individual monthly interviews with 25 couples while one partner was in jail and following their release. Aiden is a 35-year-old male parolee convicted of seriously injuring his wife. He and his wife, Maya, have been interviewed by Dr. Yeung on eight occasions. The interviews have covered a range of personal topics including Aiden’s problem drinking, which is marked by blackouts and threatening phone calls made to his wife when he becomes drunk, usually in the evening. To her knowledge, Aiden has never followed through on these threats. Dr. Yeung has the impression both Aiden and Maya feel a sense of social support when discussing their life with Dr. Yeung. One evening Dr. Yeung checks her answering machine and finds a message from Aiden. His words are slurred and angry: “Now that you know the truth about what I am you know that there is nothing you can do to help the evil inside me. The bottle is my savior and I will end this with them tonight.” She calls both Aiden’s and Maya’s cell phone numbers, but no one answers. Ethical Dilemma Dr. Yeung has Aiden’s address, and after 2 hours, she is considering whether or not to contact emergency services to suggest that law enforcement officers go to Aiden’s home or to the homes of his parents and girlfriend.

The advantage of having many subnational governments in the United States is that they keep each other in check, and they do not spiral out of control. Such as state level and federal level both have the same amount of power but they both keep each other in check. The disadvantage is that when a law wants to get passed it will take longer to go through all the proper channels.
The term limits in our government are key to making sure our politicians are not making a career out of our office. Term limits will shift there focus off of re election and more to the people that put them in that seat the disadvantage is that these same lawmakers that are trying to pass their own agenda will have to pass a bill limiting there own term.

Before the ratification of the Constitution, the states held more power than the government. Restricting the national governments power gave states freedom from the government. With this current structure, Congress was unable to conduct business or ensure financial stability. Eventually, framers settled on a system in which power would be shared (Krutz, 2019, pg. 522). The national government had its core duties, the state government had their duties, and the rest was equally shared. This is referred to as federalism (Krutz, 2019, pg. 523). The federal government was given more power when the President was head of the executive branch, and the Supreme Court became head of the judicial branch. The expressed powers given to the president and Congress were clearly spelled out in the Constitution under Article I, Section 8 and Article II, Sections 2 and 3 (Krutz, 2019, pg. 523). In addition, the national government was given implied powers which were not clearly stated. States were given powers independent of those enjoyed by the national government (Krutz, 2019, pg. 523). States now had the power to establish local governments and control how they functioned and what responsibilities they were given. States were also given the power to ratify amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Twenty-First amendment was the only one ratified using the state ratifying convention method (Krutz, 2019, pg. 523). The Tenth Amendment was created to give States reserved powers. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people.” The States also have concurrent powers. Include in these powers is the right to collect income tax, building and maintaining interstates and highways, and enforcing laws (Krutz, 2019, pg. 524).
Growing financial resources gave the federal government increased power over subnational governments (Krutz, 2019, pg. 526). The government was able to decide what terms and conditions states needed to meet to qualify for financial assistance. In 1995, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act was made to create transparency. This act requires the Congressional Budget Office to provide information about the cost of a proposed government mandate that exceeds a specific threshold before the bill can be taken to congress (Krutz, 2019, pg. 526). In 1996 the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act was passed. This was known as the welfare reform bill (Krutz, 2019, pg. 526). The federal government reduced its funding for the program and in exchange states gained more power over how it was implemented (Krutz, 2019, pg. 526). States were able to set “more restrictive work requirements, place caps on the number of family members who can receive aid and limit the amount of time they can receive assistance” (Krutz, 2019, pg. 526-527).
Term limits restrict the amount of time a member can serve in the state legislature by capping either lifetime service or the number of consecutive terms (Krutz, 2019, pg. 546). Today fifteen states have imposed term limits on their house and state senate members. With a consecutive term limit, a member can only serve for a specific amount of time. If the member wants to serve another term, they must rerun for office (Krutz, 2019, pg. 546). Some states have a lifetime ban. In this case, members are only able to run in office for the given time frame and are not allowed to rerun for office (Krutz, 2019, pg. 546). People who agreed with the idea of term limits felt that “new blood” was needed to get new ideas and perspectives into lawmaking. Supporters also hoped that term limits would push members to make good on public policy (Krutz, 2019, pg. 547). Other supporters hoped that term limits would bring in more diversity, more women, members of minority party, and racial and ethnic minority groups (Krutz, 2019, pg. 547). Though there are many advantages, there are also disadvantages. There is no statistical significance that term limits create more diversity. Term limits can affect the power structure between legislative and executive branches (Krutz, 2019, pg. 548). This makes legislators more likely to gain information from lobbyists about legislation. In turn, interest groups can push policies that favor their organizations. Finally, voter enthusiasm is affected. If there is a member they like, they may be upset about the possibility of them not being able to run for office again (Krutz, 2019, pg. 549). Yes, there are pros and cons to term limits but I believe it works.

In this case, members are only able to run in office for the given time frame and are not allowed to rerun for office (Krutz, 2019, pg. 546). People who agreed with the idea of term limits felt that “new blood” was needed to get new ideas and perspectives into lawmaking. Supporters also hoped that term limits would push members to make good on public policy (Krutz, 2019, pg. 547). Other supporters hoped that term limits would bring in more diversity, more women, members of minority party, and racial and ethnic minority groups (Krutz, 2019, pg. 547). Though there are many advantages, there are also disadvantages. There is no statistical significance that term limits create more diversity. Term limits can affect the power structure between legislative and executive branches (Krutz, 2019, pg. 548). This makes legislators more likely to gain information from lobbyists about legislation. In turn, interest groups can push policies that favor their organizations. Finally, voter enthusiasm is affected. If there is a member they like, they may be upset about the possibility of them not being able to run for office again (Krutz, 2019, pg. 549). Yes, there are pros and cons to term limits but I believe it works.
