Different Forms of Black Sexuality Over Time

/in /by

Choose at least two texts (essays from different weeks/time periods) and one film (from any time period), make a 4-6 page argument about how forms transcends phases and how African American culture and sexuality are represented in these texts (essays/stories) & film. What arguments do the authors/filmmakers make about sexuality?  How do they represent these arguments? What strategies are most effective (literary or rhetorical techniques, visual representation)?  If applicable, do you find continuity in representation across periods?  Are there gaps or missing threads (and if so, is there in evidence toward why)?  

Make sure it has a TITLE.

You do not have to cover the entire ground of the topic just make sure the texts/film support the topic (its okay to leave the argument to be continued if extending beyond 6 pages)

Ethics in criminal justice

/in /by

A police officer close to retirement is training a rookie cop. Their shift is over and they are returning to the precinct. Suddenly, they spot several teenagers smoking marijuana. Relying on utilitarianism, explain how the officers’ choice NOT to pursue the matter is or is not consistent with moral principles.

Assignment: reply to the following peer’s statement. Respond Min 150 words (one reference)

If the officer chooses not to intervene depending on someone’s perspective and the law it would be seen as unethical. It isn’t legal for teenagers to possess marijuana or smoke it in a public place. Choosing not to intervene can lead the teens to more trouble, then again choosing to pursue it the teens may get a record for a misdemeanor. Marijuana is legal to obtain if there’s a prescription for it. The teens smoking marijuana do not have a prescription and the purposes were not intended to be used recreationally. Does the officer pursue the teens when his shift is nearly over for a misdemeanor? It was stated that a cop’s job is never over. Regardless of what time you clock out you are still an officer and is still legal to report and detain people as an off duty officer. Your job simply does not end. You also want to teach the rookie correctly and a refusal to do anything about the teens could influence the rookie into either doing the same thing or not performing his/her job correctly. Approaching the teens would be beneficial to show the rookie what to do in a similar situation.

Use the template below to write your paper. Please cite any resources that you use.
Identification of key relevant ethical issues:
Identification of key relevant ethical issues: The core moral issue for this case is, “Should net neutrality be preserved?” However, there are several related larger moral issues that must be identified in order to respond to this particular issue. Remember that a moral issue is normative – these are to be expressed as questions using normative terms (e.g. using terms such as “should” and “ought,” and concerning issues of right and wrong regarding moral rights & obligations, etc.)
Asking the Right Questions:
Before you can answer the overarching moral question for this case, you need to gather some evidence and critical information. What facts would you need to know about this case to make a reasonably informed judgment? In this section, note that you should be raising non-normative questions such as the current policies of internet providers, the revenue and costs of prioritizing various web-based retailers and media platforms, etc. The case study should be research questions and as such should be concrete and answerable with reference to assessable data and reliable sources. No bias or prejudice should be evident and the questions should be assessable and non-normative (no “ought,” “should,” “would,” or “could” questions). Think about facts that, if known might help determine how one should or could respond to the case.
Justify the preservation of net neutrality
Reading from the article from The New York Times would it be likely to justify the preservation of net neutrality? Defend your answer including specific details from article deontology & provide citations from other sources to support your answer. Remember, students must provide informed response with rich detail from the case to illustrate the specific key points that are relevant. Be sure to raise a counter consideration to the argument and provide an appropriate response to the counter consideration.
Conclusion
Where do you stand on this issue? Do you think net neutrality should be preserved? Briefly defend your answer without resorting to a repetition of points made in previous sections.
