How does unethical behavior affect the perception of law enforcement to the public?

/in /by

Ethical problems in law enforcement always receive a considerable amount of media time. The public, the media, and the police department expect police officers to have high ethical standards. Anytime a police officer does something unethical it affects the entire department and in many cases the entire law enforcement field.

Your individual work is to respond to the following: •Describe the different ethical problems in law enforcement including the behaviors identified in Chapter 12. •How does unethical behavior affect the perception of law enforcement to the public?

Using a word processing program, prepare a document that follows APA guidelines and includes: •A paper 1-2 pages in length, double-spaced.

You may use your text or the Internet as a reference, but remember to cite your sources according to APA guidelines.

Purpose: This assignment is designed to encourage students to think about how a four-field anthropological approach can be applied to solve human problems. 

***Instructions: You will choose one of three hypothetical scenarios to apply a four-field anthropological approach. After carefully reviewing the scenario of your choice and the guiding questions, write a 500 word report, in essay form, describing how each of the four subfields of anthropology could be used to address the problem presented in your scenario. Links to scenarios are provided below. 

***Report Requirements: Your report should address all four subfields of anthropology in no less than 500 words. It should be properly cited, proofread, in your own words, and in the following format: 

Title/Heading: Centered and single spaced at the top of the first page of your paper (you do not need a separate title page). Include title, course, university, name, and semester.
Font: 12 point font, Times New Roman
Margins: 1 inch
Spacing: single or 1.5 spacing
Citation Style: ASA (American Sociological Association)
Submit your report as a Word document (.doc or .docx)

Sources: You should consult at least one source for your report. This can be your text book, reader, class readings, or credibleLinks to an external site. anthropology magazines, books, or journals. You must cite and reference any and all information you use from the sources you consult (with in-text citations and a list of references at the end). Your report must be in your own words and based on your own evaluation of the scenario. Plagiarism (including copying and pasting from websites) will result in a grade of zero. 

Post-Conflict Scenario
***Applying Anthropology: A Four-Field Approach to Post-Conflict Recovery and Reconciliation***

About Anthropology and Conflict, Violence, and Peace
The discipline of anthropology has long studied conflict and war, asking questions about the causes of war, human nature and culture, the variety of impacts (biological, cultural, psychological, societal, etc.), and how the experiences and interpretations of conflict differ. Anthropologists look at conflict and wars throughout history and pre-history and examine war narratives, justifications, and media representations. They study multiple dimensions of violence (symbolic, interpersonal, structural, blatant violence) and human suffering. But anthropologists are also involved in post-conflict situations, recovery, and peace-building efforts, as well as investigations into crimes against humanity. Such efforts requires a multitude of approaches.

Scenario
Imagine you are a team of anthropologists made up of cultural, linguistic, biological, and archaeological anthropologists. You have been asked to consult, assist, and gather information in the aftermath of a regional civil war. The conflict took place for over a decade and officially ended two years ago. However, many survivors are still dealing with the ongoing impacts and trauma of the war experience. Your team has been advised that several civilian communities are still looking for community members who disappeared during the early years of the war. Rumor suggests that there are mass graves in the peripheral areas of the communities, which may contain the remains of missing community members. It is also rumored that unofficial state militias engaged in war crimes against civilians as they sought to quell rebel forces seeking state power.  How does your team go about researching and applying anthropological knowledge from all subfields to understand and investigate this situation? (i.e. how could cultural, biological, linguistic, and archaeological anthropologists contribute to understanding the conflict – how it unfolded, the impacts, response, and recovery?). Use the questions below to begin thinking about anthropological approaches to this scenario. 

Questions to consider:

Does history matter in this context? If so, what if the histories of the region are not well recorded? How would you gather that information?
How would you determine the best way to approach communities impacted by the conflict?
Are there language barriers among communities, experts, lawyers, and other officials?
How would you determine whether or not human rights violations occurred?
If violations have occurred, what kind of knowledge/evidence would be useful for making a case?
Do the survivors understand international human rights laws? Is the language of those laws accessible to communities (i.e. is it easy to read and understand?)
How do you investigate rumors?
If located, what is the best way to deal with human remains of victims?
What are ways to offer closure to survivors who lost loved ones?
What should be considered in efforts to recover and rebuild?

question 1
 
For your initial post, select and answer at least two of the following questions below. You may use more than two questions if you wish.

How do you define modernist literature and how does it relate to one of the readings this week?
How do you define dystopian fiction and how does it relate to one of the readings this week?
How do you relate our society to the dystopian author’s view of what would come of the 21st century?
Dystopian and modernist authors often portrayed a bleak future for humanity. Do you think these concerns are relevant today? Why or Why not?

Your initial post should name the specific work(s) and use quotes or lines from the week’s readings. Be sure to acknowledge the source.

question 2

In your discussion post, analyze the following visual elements in the advertisements shown above:

Identify the target audiences for each of the advertising images above.
Compare and contrast how each of these advertisement images uses color to strategically attract a specific target audience (Ex: orange may be a more appropriate color choice for younger audiences but not necessarily for business audiences).
Compare and contrast how the lines are strategically used to guide the viewer’s eyes to a specific element in the advertising image.
Consider if the two advertisements traded how they used colors and lines. Would it attract their targeted audiences in the same way or as effectively?
How could you use color and line strategically in your life or career applications?

*Remember— Analysis requires that you substantiate your ideas with quotes from academic sources and experts in the field. Analysis without substantiated evidence is opinion. Use your etextbook, another academic article or source, or a career or real-life example to support your analysis points in your initial discussion post to demonstrate your full comprehension of the topics.
Be sure to respond to At least one peer post. Response(s) should involve more than just repeating or acknowledging another student’s points; responses should foster further discussion by exploring new lines of information, perspectives, and questions. Lastly, responses should not contain mechanical or grammatical errors.

Chapter One
1. On page 9 of the textbook there is a sampling of what physical anthropologists do. 
What are some of these anthropological pursuits? 
2. What is a hominin? 
3. When did our earliest human ancestors live? 
4. Every person is a product of evolutionary history, of all the biological changes that have brought humanity to its present form. Our physical appearance, our intelligence and everything else that makes us a distinct biological species evolved in our predecessors, whose genes led to the species we are today. 
Look at Figure 1.3. What are the 6 big events of human evolution? Or, put another way, what are 6 unique physical and behavioral characteristics that set humans apart from other animals? List these and describe each one. 
5. Physical anthropology takes a biocultural approach. What is meant by this? Looking at Figure 1.3 which two of these events were caused mainly by biological changes and which four by changes in both human biology and human culture? 
6. Your biological makeup is also strongly influenced by your environment. What things does environment refer to here? 
Chapter Two
1. How did Darwin’s observation of the Galapagos finches lead him to his basic theory of evolution? What characteristics of the birds did he observe? What questions did they lead him to ask? 
2. What are adaptations? 
3. What did Darwin mean by 
natural selection?  
adaptive radiation?  
descent with modification?
4. What five disciplines did Darwin draw on as he developed his theory of evolution? What had scientists in each of these disciplines already shown? 
5. What 5 concepts did Darwin borrow from Thomas Malthus? 
6. What did Darwin add to the theory of evolution? 
7. What field has developed since Darwin and reshaped our understanding of evolution? 
8. What basic principles of inheritance did Gregor Mendel discover?
9. How do these principles contribute to our understanding of cells, chromosomes and genetics?
