U.N. official and long-time law

/in /by

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS:

  1. Philip Alston is an Australian U.N. official and long-time law professor at New York University. To use an idea of Joseph Lo’s, he certainly has “local knowledge” about the human rights situation in the U.S. Along these lines, please discuss two of the major findings in his report (other than the four mentioned in the 3/24 lesson plan). Furthermore, how does he discuss these findings in terms of human rights violations?
  2. Michael Ignatieff outlines three strategies of U.S. exceptionalism – exemptionalism, legal isolationism, and double standards – that he argues leads to the U.S. committing so many human rights violations. Please provide an example of each of these strategies – that is, where do we see them taking place in the U.S.? Furthermore, discuss which of one of the above three strategies you think leads to the greatest number of violations.
  3. The reading for today, by Jonathan Power, was about Amnesty International’s campaigns for human rights in the United States, starting in the 1990s. Some of these have yielded results, while others have not. If you were an Amnesty executive, what you would advise this organization to make its campaigns more effective? What would you change about its strategies, messaging, or operations?

What Motivates and Inspires You?

/in /by

Most likely you can imagine many examples of motivating. If you watched any of the multiple big sports championships over these past weeks, you saw the coaches preparing their teams. High stakes in the sports world and for host city, team, and fan (i.e. those who pay the salaries) pride. Yet, in some ways this is easier than the task you face as a healthcare administrator. Sports teams have a shared goal (no pun intended), a common language and lexicon, and finite circumstances.

In healthcare, the team is comprised of multiple constituencies, some of which are organizationally separate (e.g., typically the hospital and medical staffs are two independent entities). As has been discussed this past week, patients come from many backgrounds, with diverse beliefs and myriad expectations. Navigating that environment take a different set of skills.

Review the concept of Emotional Intelligence at this link: http://psychology.about.com/od/personalitydevelopment/a/emotionalintell.htm

Then, briefly review insights to Servant Leadership, available at:

http://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/leadership/leadership-ideas/servant-leadership/main and http://www.butler.edu/volunteer/resources/principles-of-servant-leadership/

When you have reviewed these resources, please respond to this week’s Discussion topic.

  1. What Motivates and Inspires You?

Respond to at least one of these options:

Describe a situation you have experienced, witnessed, or with which you are sufficiently familiar to offer detailed analysis where:

Someone’s emotional intelligence resolved a complex situation.
Someone’s lack of emotional intelligence caused greater problems.
You observed the characteristics of a servant leader who inspired you.

Dialogue between Marie and Francesca da Rimini in Inferno

/in /by

In the High Middle Ages, the question of romantic (and courtly) love and the role of women was central to the “refinement of manners” in the West.

Imagine and create a dialogue between Marie (a fictional figure very much like Marie de France) and Francesca da Rimini in Inferno, canto 5. The general topic of their dialogue is love. Special topics could be: Should love be a rule-governed activity? Do the lovers in Marie’s lai “Yonec” follow the proper behavior of lovers? How should society deal with the problems caused by love, especially to marriage? Is the fate of Francesca and her lover proper? Invent your own topics as the dialogue progresses in order to discuss the tale from their point of view. Consider the position of various characters in the lais as well as female characters in Dante.

All examples must come from the two lais by Marie de France and Dante’s Inferno or other appropriate ancient or medieval literature (i.e., Aeneid). Dante may have read Marie, but not the reverse.

The dialogue must be based on reasoning (logos) with plenty of principles (maxims) laid down, and examples given. It should be a polite discussion, suitable to ladies in a civilized environment. Good conversation is based on the pattern: “Yes, but…” Or, I agree with you up to a point, but I think you have overlooked this…” Without using these phrases, keep a good conversation going, plucking ideas from the writings of the conversationalists. Strike a balance between everyday speech and formal conversation.
