European Transportation

/in /by

Topic: Select one industry of your choice in Europe. Identify and explain how the policies of the European Union have contributed to increase or decrease the profits of the businesses in that industry.

Industry: Transportation.

Format: the minimum length is 7 pages single-spaced and the maximum length is 15 pages single-spaced, font 12. Report all tables and figures at the end of the paper. The length does not consider the appendices with tables and figures. Use as many tables and figures as you need. Use the reference style that you prefer as long as you cite the sources both in the text and at the end of the paper in a reference list.

Evaluation Criteria:

    Evidence reported. Collect as much evidence as possible from articles, news, reports, databases, to provide rich data displaying the change in profitability of businesses and to validly and reliably support your arguments explaining how the policies of the European Union have impacted the profitability of the businesses in the industry. Report all the evidence in the reference pages at the end of the paper.

    Clarity of the arguments. The profitability of businesses could have increased or decreased for a multiplicity of reasons. You have to develop compelling and convincing arguments that establish a clear attribution of causality to the policies of the European Union and not to exogenous factors that could have exercised an influence.

    Originality of the arguments. You are tasked to develop your own critical perspective. If you find an article that already makes the analysis for you and you only report the ideas taken from this article, you will not have provided any critical thinking or personal contribution. Whenever you are relying on an argument developed by an external source, cite every time and clearly the source of the information. Never misattribute an argument, by making it appear as yours while, in fact, the thought was borrowed from an external source. Misattributing an argument is a serious flaw and will result in a significantly lower grade. 

    Primary data. Cite in the paper the primary sources of information clearly identifying who you have talked to and reporting the thoughts.

Ethical Conflicts

A patient under the care of your agency committed suicide, and you are in charge of the adverse incident review of this case. Considering the stakeholders in your agency (clients, providers, management, third-party payers, etc.), what are the potential ethical conflicts that may arise from your role investigating this incident, and what would you do to appropriately discharge your ethical duties?

When you discuss the potential ethical conflicts, provide evidence from the scholarly articles you read for this week and/or reference specific, relevant ethical standards from the Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals (Links to an external site.) from the National Organization for Human Services.

When responding to your peers original postings, review the conflicts they selected and elaborate upon them by commenting on their approach and/or making suggestions.

Please provide an initial substantive answer between 400 words in length.

Discussion 6051

/in /by

Heterosexism is defined as “the discrimination or prejudice by heterosexuals against homosexuals” (merriam-webster.com) and is predicated on the belief that being heterosexual is the norm and the only accepted type of relationship.

Everyday heterosexism is exemplified in our media, our policies, and daily practices. By making these assumptions, social workers can be in part culpable for the oppression and marginalization experienced by the LGBTQ community.

As a profession, social work embraces diversity and strives to ensure equal rights for all. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is committed to supporting the needs of these groups and, in turn, they created the National Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. During this week’s discussion you will be asked to consider how one’s own personal views on sexual orientation may clash with the profession’s stance.

Post a scenario of how a social worker’s personal, ethical, and moral values in relation to the LGBTQ community might conflict with those of their clients. Explain the distinction between personal ethics and values and professional ethics and values evident in the social work profession in addressing this community. Be specific and explain how this distinction relates to the scenario you posted. Also explain how prejudice and bias might create barriers to fulfilling your professional responsibility to the LGBTQ community.
