Questions

1. Look closely at the rainbow (visual spectrum) at the top of this week’s guide and ask yourself if any colors are missing. When you find a missing color, present a description or an illustration that shows the color. If you can explain why the color is absent from the spectrum, do so in a paragraph.

2.  Judging from the resources in Steps 1 and 2, can we believe our senses? Where do individual differences seem to arise in the way we perceive the world?

3. Describe the combined roles of vision and the vestibular apparatus in a coordinated act in sports, such as a second baseman’s double play, a pole vault, or a turnaround jump shot. What are the differences and similarities in the roles of the two senses?

2: 2 Vignette Analysis

Treatment Plan for Stabilization

An important part of the skills you will improve in developing appropriate interventions is designing a treatment plan focusing on stabilization that is appropriate to the particular client treated.

In this assignment, you will create a treatment plan for stabilization based on the information provided in the vignette.

Study

Vignette—Alice

Alice is a 32-year-old African-American woman who is employed as a family physician in a large family practice in a medium-sized city in New Jersey. She was raised Protestant and still attends church on Sundays with one of her sisters. Mike is a 27-year-old African-American man who is employed as a pharmaceutical representative. Alice and Mike met at a medical conference where Mike’s employer was a major sponsor. They sat next to each other at a dinner and started dating soon after that. Alice does not have children and Mike has two children from a previous relationship.

“Mike and I had been dating for about four months. He was the greatest thing that had come into my life. I hadn’t been with a man for so many years, I had forgotten what it was like, how much fun it was to be in love, how happy it was to have someone make you smile, and someone you could smile with. I guess I was so busy being in love that I didn’t see some of the little incidents that were happening. I guess maybe if I would have opened my eyes, what happened the other night wouldn’t have happened. I just don’t know. I just don’t understand it all.

Mike had come over at about four in the afternoon, and we were going out to dinner and then to a game. I was excited. I had never been to a basketball game. Mike was going to explain everything that happened for me, so that I would understand what was going on. We were supposed to go with a couple of his friends. I had a patient, and I didn’t get home until close to 4:30. Mike was pacing up and down the floor when I walked in. I apologized for being late and told him that I was sorry but I could not leave this patient. We had had little incidents before, but this was the first time I really began to be fearful. Mike’s face started to get red, and I looked in his eyes and I became frightened. His eyes just looked like they belonged to someone else. His whole body began to change. It became more rigid, and he started to yell at me. At first, his abusiveness was really only putting me down for only caring about my patients and not caring about him. When I protested and tried to calm him down, he only seemed to get angrier. Before I knew it, he was shaking me and slapping me, as well as screaming at me. I screamed back at him to stop, but he wouldn’t listen. In fact, he reminded me of patients I have had who have gone into psychomotor seizures. At that point, I started pushing away from him and attempted to flee, but he caught me and started swinging me around in the kitchen. All of a sudden, he took me and flung me across the room, and I felt myself crashing into the stove. That was the last thing I knew. I fell on the floor, and I could feel somebody stomping and kicking me as I lay there. I sort of felt like I was drifting in and out of consciousness.

“I don’t know how long I lay there on the floor, but when I woke up, Mike was gone. The house was dark. The pain was so bad I could barely move. I knew that I had to have been seriously injured. From the pain, I thought maybe I had some internal bruises. Thank God there’s a phone in the kitchen. I crawled and barely made it to the phone. I pulled on the cord so that I could knock it down to the floor, because I could not stand. I called my partner and just told him that I was physically injured. I didn’t tell him what happened to me but just told him to send an ambulance. The next thing I knew, I was there in this hospital bed. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know how I got here. All I know is what they had told me the next morning.

“Apparently, when Mike pushed me into the stove and maybe when he was stomping on me with his feet, my kidneys were damaged. As soon as they got me to the hospital, they could barely find my pulse, and they knew there was internal bleeding. They rushed me into the emergency surgery and had to remove one kidney. My second kidney was badly damaged, but they think they can save it. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know how it got so bad. It just seems like it’s all one great big nightmare. I just don’t know what I’ll

do. How can anyone so kind and gentle like Mike, that I could love so much and who could love me so much, do this to me? I just don’t understand.”

(Two days after the surgery, she was asked how she felt about being in the hospital. Afterward, she said that she and Mike were going off on this wonderful cruise as soon as she got out of the hospital.)

“I’m really not sure how the whole incident happened. Perhaps it was my fault. Mike says he really didn’t throw me against the stove. He just pushed me and I fell and hit the stove. I really believe him. He couldn’t have wanted to hurt me as badly as I was hurt. It really must have been an accident.”

Describe an area in your own life that you believe requires certain virtues in order to do well.   This might be an occupation, an activity or hobby, a role you play (mother, friend, husband, mentor, etc.), and so on.

PHI 208 Week 4 Discussion Prompts

 

 

1.      1. An important aspect of Aristotle’s virtue ethics is the idea that virtues are “habits” that we acquire over time, and like any habit, virtues affect not just what we do, but our desires and emotions as well.  Focusing on either Hill’s article or Robinson’s article, how might this be important when discussing environmental ethics or military ethics (focus your discussion on just one of those, but feel free to discuss the other in reply to other people’s posts)? How would a virtue ethicist reply to someone who says that they wish they could do more to express concern for the environment or be more courageous, but are too “weak willed” to do that?  Use examples from the assigned media when appropriate.

 

2.      2.Aristotle says that the virtues are necessary for humans to attain happiness, but he means this in terms of something we might call “flourishing” or “living well”, which he considers quite different than simply feeling good.  Thus, according to Aristotle some people might feel that they are happy, but because they lack the virtues they are not truly flourishing.  However, imagine someone that is deceitful, selfish, greedy, self-indulgent, and yet enjoys great pleasure and appears to be quite happy.  Is someone like this “flourishing” or not?  Explain your answer this by referring to this week’s readings and media, and if possible provide examples from real life and/or from literature, film, TV, etc.

 

3.      3. Aristotle claims that if you are suffering terrible misfortune, you cannot truly be considered happy or flourishing.  However, there are many examples from current and past history, religious traditions, and fiction of people that might seem to contradict this claim (for example, in the Beatitudes (Matt. 5:3-12, Luke 6:20-23) Jesus describes people that seem to be suffering in various ways and calls them “blessed”; some translations say “happy”).   Leaving aside any religious assumptions and considering this from a strictly philosophical perspective, do you think that it’s possible for people to be happy or flourishing even if they are suffering terrible misfortune?  Provide at least one example to illustrate your answer, and refer to the readings and media to support your view.

 

4.      4.What are 2 virtues that you believe are important to living a flourishing or successful life in either Aristotle’s sense?  Explain what goods in human life these virtues enable their possessor to fulfill.  Provide examples of characteristic behavior that manifests these virtues, and contrast that with behavior that displays a lack of virtue.  Do your examples confirm Aristotle’s view that a virtue is a mean between extremes of excess and defect?  If so, explain what those extremes are; if not, explain why.  Refer to this week’s readings and media to illustrate and support your claims.

 

5.      5. Describe an area in your own life that you believe requires certain virtues in order to do well.   This might be an occupation, an activity or hobby, a role you play (mother, friend, husband, mentor, etc.), and so on.  Explain what this is, and what the “telos” of this kind of thing is; in other words, what is the purpose of this area of life, and would it mean to flourish and do well in it?  Are there things people pursue in this area that are not part of the true telos?  Finally, what are the virtues that one must have in order to flourish and do well in this area of life?  What are some vices that get in the way?  Your answers to these questions should include evidence from this week’s readings and media.
