Whistleblower An Ethical Dilemma
Assignment 2: DiscussionBefore beginning work on this week’s discussion forum, please review the link “Doing Discussion Questions Right,” the expanded grading rubric for the forum, and any specific instructions for this week’s topic.Respond to the assigned discussion questions and submit your responses to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. Respond to the assigned questions using the lessons and vocabulary found in the reading.Discussion Question – Whistleblower: An Ethical DilemmaA whistleblower, by definition, is someone who brings an unethical, immoral, or illegal business practice to the public’s attention. Whistleblowers have a difficult time in doing this, and they often find their lives changed because of their actions. Sometimes they are shunned and also receive death threats. It is common for the family members to feel the effects of a whistleblower’s behavior.Dr. Jeffrey Wigand became one of the best-known whistleblowers after his experience was turned into a movie, The Insider. He proved tobacco companies were deliberately boosting the nicotine content of cigarettes, making them more addictive and cancer causing. However, similar to other whistleblowers, he suffered from tremendous stress and received death threats and other forms of intimidation for doing the right thing. Do some research on Wigand’s actions.For the first part of your post:Assess how Dr. Wigand showed moral intelligence and leadership in this situation. Assess what you think he did for his own credibility based on his actions.Evaluate what you would do if you found an unethical practice in your workplace. Would your response depend on the severity of the unethical practice? For the second part of your post, select any one of the following bullet points. Attempt to spread the bullet points out among class members (e.g., not have one bullet point answered by all course participants).Provide a couple examples of potential unethical practices in your organization that could be considered very minor and that people have come to “accept” as opposed to reporting. How, exactly, does the organization or its members respond to the unethical practices? Assess any inconsistencies in the organizational response. Recommend any alternative response.Create a continuum of severity model regarding ethical practices in organizations and discuss your model. How did you arrive at the model you created? Propose how an organization might use your severity continuum model.Justify why you think that people tend to accept some unethical practices while others are not accepted. Propose three or four key steps an organization might take to build more consistent ethical decisions and actions.Conclude your post with a three or four sentence summary of the most important point, lesson, or takeaways from your research and analysis for your initial post.Provide a substantive (500–1,000 words) initial discussion post. Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the initial postings of at least two peers. Your responses to other initial posts must be a 100 to 200 word minimum each.Post your initial response to the Discussion Area.Before the end of the week, begin commenting on at least two of your peers' responses. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress.

MUSC 120 San Jose State University Bikini Composition by Dexter Gordon Questions
Tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon was a leading figure in bebop, drawing upon the styles of both of Count Basie's tenor players, Lester Young and Herschel Evans, to forge his own style in the bebop idiom. His composition Bikini exhibits an interesting and unique hybrid form.https://open.spotify.com/track/4uMntEazjdxBjAc3JV7...Listen attentively to Bikini performed by Dexter Gordon, tenor saxophone (ts); Jimmy Bunn, piano (p); Red Callender, bass (b); and Chuck Thompson, drums (d); and address the following questions:The order of solos in this piece is: Gordon, Bunn, Callender, and Thompson (at end). Provide counter numbers for the beginnings and ends of all four solos.Compare and contrast the solo styles, and describe them. Listen to how they phrase or create musical lines over the chord changes. Try to include some detail.How many choruses does each of them take? Note: This piece is a 44-bar hybrid AABA song form in which each A section is a 12-bar blues chord progression, while the B section (the bridge) is a standard 8-bar section. The first chorus is 00:11 to 01:00.What is your impression of this piece? How do these bebop soloists differ from the swing soloists that you have heard? Does the bebop ensemble treat or arrange the melody differently from the swing big band arrangements (of melody) that you have heard? If so, how?Generally speaking, this band would have performed for what type of audience?

Purdue University Global Targeted Topics in ABA Discussion
Watch the Unit 3 Lecture. (Transcripts)Read the following scenario. Setting the Scene: It is Ms. Dawson’s second year of teaching. Things have gone fairly well during the first few weeks of the school year. She encountered only sporadic behavior issues and was able to deal with them with minimal disruptions. Recently, a new student, Devin, joined the class. Devin often teases his classmates and, occasionally, becomes physically aggressive toward them. Devin frequently makes rude comments while Ms. Dawson is teaching. Ms. Dawson tries to ignore much of this behavior, but occasionally argues with Devin when frustration sets in. The other students often laugh at Devin’s behavior, and when Ms. Dawson asks him to leave the classroom, he often refuses. Ms. Dawson has found herself admonishing Devin more and more and has noticed that other students, who were previously compliant, have begun to engage in the same behavior. Ms. Dawson is not happy about the atmosphere that Devin is creating in her classroom. She has tried some of the behavior interventions she learned last year, but they are not working. She wonders what else she can do to stop Devin’s behavior. Discussion:Based upon the variables surrounding Devin’s behavior – the antecedents and consequences, hypothesize the probable function of Devin’s behavior and provide a rational for your choice.Why do you think Ms. Dawson’s initial efforts to address the problem (ignoring, admonishing, behavior interventions used for other students) failed to reduce the target behavior?Discuss some indirect and direct assessment approaches Ms. Dawson could use to gather information that would inform the design of a more effective intervention to address Devin’s disruptive behavior? Guided Response Posts: Respond to two peers’ primary posts by determining whether their hypothesized function(s) of Devin’s target behavior were correct. Provide a rationale for your conclusion. Next, design a unique (different behavior intervention plan for each peer response), function-based BIP for the correct function of the target behavior for each peer response.Reading and ResourcesRead the following:Chapter 27 in Applied Behavior Analysis (3rd ed.): “Functional Behavior Assessment”The functions of behavior are explained and the importance of conducting Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is explored. Various methods of conducting FBAs are presented, along with explanations of the strengths and limitations of each method.Chapter 8 in Ethics for Behavior Analysts (3rd edition): “Assessing Behavior (Code 3.0)” Chapter 8 explains the requirement to base behavior intervention plans on behavior analytic assessment. Code 3.0: Assessing Behavior, provides guidance on appropriate assessment; the graphic display of data; informed consent; and explaining assessment results in language the client and/or the family/guardians can understand. Real world scenarios are utilized to build understanding of how this code is applied in practice. TEXTBOOKSCooper, J. O., Heron, T. E., & Heward, W. L. (2019). Applied Behavior Analysis. 3rd Edition.

PHI 2604 Miami Dade College Ethical Issues and Climate Change Essay
Marine Parks: Essay for EvaluationFor this assignment, you will have a chance to practice your skills at analyzing and evaluating an academic article in a short essay. Some important standards to uphold in your essay are clarity, precision, and relevance. More than 20 years ago, my own critical thinking professor said that academic writing should, “Say what you mean, only what you mean, as clearly as possible.” That stuck with me through the years and it is advice that I always hand down to my students. It served me well and it will help your own writing if you remember to apply it. Here are the instructions for your essay:From Chapter 5, read Essay 2, Marine Parks, pp. 116-117. Write a one-page essay (about three paragraphs) that answers the following:1. What is a “marine park”?2. What three reasons does Bill Daly consider for keeping marine parks open? Why does he ultimately reject each of these reasons?3. What does Bill Daly think should happen concerning marine parks? What are his reasons?4. Do you agree with Bill Daly about marine parks? Why or why not?Be sure to organize your essay into paragraphs and use proper grammar and punctuation. If you use any outside sources, be sure to cite them. You may use either MLA or APA if you like. It is also acceptable to simply copy links to your sources at the bottom of your essay, as long as you make clear how you are using those sources. For instance, you might say:“According to Dr. X, …..” or,“In the 2018 article, Such and Such, Dr. X says….”At the bottom of your essay, then, you would just copy in the link to the article so I can click on it for access. You may have professors who emphasize the use of APA or MLA. As such, you could use this essay to practice one of those styles. To be clear, though, what I care about is you showing your sources and how you are using them. I am less concerned with how you do that, just be consistent in whatever you choose. The essay you are evaluating is an excellent example of academic writing. In fact, I think Daly’s is the best example I have seen of a short essay for students at the 2000 level to model in their own writing. As you continue your college career, you will be asked to write more and more. If you are new to academic writing, a good strategy to keep in mind is to simply model the writing style in the materials you read for your classes. You will find most writers have a style. Study it and copy it. Don’t copy the content, of course, (that’s plagiarism) but do model the same tone, organization, and sentence structure. If you do this, you will find that your writing will improve, but also that your own style will emerge over time.Here are some links I found that might help you to further understand the content of this assignment. The Case Against Marine Mammals in CaptivityChange for Animals FoundationWhale and Dolphin ConservationChicago Tribune ArticleEthical Issues & Climate Change: Our Rising OceansFor this assignment, you will be learning about how NASA climate scientists arrive at their conclusions concerning sea level rise and you will have a chance to consider some consequences of sea level rise. You will also see how "climate change deniers" generate their claims and learn about the tactics they use in their attempts to popularize these claims. These are the topics of the Vice News Documentary: Our Rising Oceans. Watch the documentary here:Our Rising OceansRead more about climate change here:NASA: Climate ChangeYou have already learned about the nature of inductive reasoning and that inductive reasoning is the backbone of the scientific method. Some very savvy thinkers have utilized facts about inductive reasoning to attempt to sow doubt about scientific claims as they relate to ethical issues. In the video, you will hear about the Heritage Foundation and its role in generating climate change denial. You will also hear that the same organization helped tobacco companies develop arguments denying that their products cause cancer. Question 2, below, will address their tactics. The following two videos will help you to further understand the "problem of induction" and how it factors into these tactics: Skepticism: David HumeThe Problem of InductionFor this assignment, answer the following questions fully:In “Our Rising Oceans”, you witnessed a conference of “climate change deniers” at which scientific claims about climate change are called into question. What are three things that stood out to you about this conference? Explain.At the conference of “climate change deniers”, you heard a speaker state that “observation claims are not knowledge: they are not universal, necessary, and certain.” What this speaker is referencing is called the “problem of induction,” and this problem is simply a fact of inductive reasoning. In short, if a conclusion depends on our observations rather than on necessary logical relationships, those conclusions cannot be guaranteed. Consider the following:“universal” means true in all cases“necessary” means could not be otherwise “certain” means cannot be doubtedWith these things in mind, it should be clear that there is nothing that we know from experience or observation that is “universal, necessary, and certain.” But does this mean that nothing we “know” from observation or experience actually counts as “knowledge?” That would imply that you don’t “know” whether it is day or night, whether the screen you are reading this on actually exists, or whether you even have a body at all! I don’t think, for most of us, that our standard of knowledge is quite that strict.Your supplementary materials above include two YouTube videos that offer short explanations of the problem of induction for your consideration. Consider what you have read here and what you saw in these videos. Here, then, is question 2:Is the problem of induction sufficient to dismiss scientific claims about climate change? Why or why not? In the documentary, you saw some consequences of climate change that are already occurring in Bangladesh. What are three things that stood out to you from that section of the video? Explain what you found significant about these things.Environmental & Animal Ethics: Research AssignmentFor this assignment, you will have an opportunity to practice academic research. There are a number of ways to begin research, but as a student, your library resources are the best place to start. You have a link to the MDC Library on the left-hand tool bar. Click on this link, then click on "Research Materials & Digital Resources." View the frequently used databases and try searching for topics in the library catalog. There are many resources that are available as full PDF's. To access these or other databases, you will be asked to login using your MDC user name and password. If you have any problems logging in, please let me know.As you find sources that catch your attention, view the works that are cited for those sources. Much of research simply involves following up on works cited. If an article or text has met the academic rigor necessary to achieve publication and appear in your database, you can be sure that the works cited/bibliography page contains the relevant sources you would need to be familiar with if you were interested in writing on the same topic.Another way to begin academic research is by using Google Scholar. Learn about it here:Google ScholarFor many scholarly articles, you need access to a database to view the full text. This is why your MDC library account is so important to you as a student. If you transfer to a university, you will have access to the databases available to students of that university, which will likely include even more sources. Also, university libraries have extensive collections where you can simply find the physical text you need and do your work there in a study area.Luckily, Google Scholar allows you to find a number of open resources as well. An open resource does not require a login and you can view the full text without incurring any charge.To practice academic research for this assignment, do the following:1) Search academic/scholarly resources for materials relates to any aspect of environmental and/or animal ethics that interests you.2) Review your findings in order to locate articles/books that are informative on your topic.3) Submit a document to this dropbox that states the topic that was the subject of your search and provides a citation for no less than 10 sources you found. For each source, offer a few sentences stating what you found interesting about it or what issues it raises that you would like to know more about. You are not limited in your research, but some possible topics are:- environmental justice- sea level rise- carbon emissions- recycling programs- ocean plastic pollution- fracking- fossil fuels- endangered species- factory farms- animal rights

Explain.At the conference of “climate change deniers”, you heard a speaker state that “observation claims are not knowledge: they are not universal, necessary, and certain.” What this speaker is referencing is called the “problem of induction,” and this problem is simply a fact of inductive reasoning. In short, if a conclusion depends on our observations rather than on necessary logical relationships, those conclusions cannot be guaranteed. Consider the following:“universal” means true in all cases“necessary” means could not be otherwise “certain” means cannot be doubtedWith these things in mind, it should be clear that there is nothing that we know from experience or observation that is “universal, necessary, and certain.” But does this mean that nothing we “know” from observation or experience actually counts as “knowledge?” That would imply that you don’t “know” whether it is day or night, whether the screen you are reading this on actually exists, or whether you even have a body at all! I don’t think, for most of us, that our standard of knowledge is quite that strict.Your supplementary materials above include two YouTube videos that offer short explanations of the problem of induction for your consideration. Consider what you have read here and what you saw in these videos. Here, then, is question 2:Is the problem of induction sufficient to dismiss scientific claims about climate change? Why or why not? In the documentary, you saw some consequences of climate change that are already occurring in Bangladesh. What are three things that stood out to you from that section of the video? Explain what you found significant about these things.Environmental & Animal Ethics: Research AssignmentFor this assignment, you will have an opportunity to practice academic research. There are a number of ways to begin research, but as a student, your library resources are the best place to start. You have a link to the MDC Library on the left-hand tool bar. Click on this link, then click on "Research Materials & Digital Resources." View the frequently used databases and try searching for topics in the library catalog. There are many resources that are available as full PDF's. To access these or other databases, you will be asked to login using your MDC user name and password. If you have any problems logging in, please let me know.As you find sources that catch your attention, view the works that are cited for those sources. Much of research simply involves following up on works cited. If an article or text has met the academic rigor necessary to achieve publication and appear in your database, you can be sure that the works cited/bibliography page contains the relevant sources you would need to be familiar with if you were interested in writing on the same topic.Another way to begin academic research is by using Google Scholar. Learn about it here:Google ScholarFor many scholarly articles, you need access to a database to view the full text. This is why your MDC library account is so important to you as a student. If you transfer to a university, you will have access to the databases available to students of that university, which will likely include even more sources. Also, university libraries have extensive collections where you can simply find the physical text you need and do your work there in a study area.Luckily, Google Scholar allows you to find a number of open resources as well. An open resource does not require a login and you can view the full text without incurring any charge.To practice academic research for this assignment, do the following:1) Search academic/scholarly resources for materials relates to any aspect of environmental and/or animal ethics that interests you.2) Review your findings in order to locate articles/books that are informative on your topic.3) Submit a document to this dropbox that states the topic that was the subject of your search and provides a citation for no less than 10 sources you found. For each source, offer a few sentences stating what you found interesting about it or what issues it raises that you would like to know more about. You are not limited in your research, but some possible topics are:- environmental justice- sea level rise- carbon emissions- recycling programs- ocean plastic pollution- fracking- fossil fuels- endangered species- factory farms- animal rights
