Standard format on the ethics of reparation

“You don’t simply say ‘I’m sorry to a man you’ve robbed. . . . You return what you stole or your apology takes on a hollow ring.” Consider the ethics of reparation in the USA that attempts to address harms done to racial groups other than whites and women. That is, in the realms of racism and sexism.

Let’s bring the discussion of reparation for harm done down to the ethical foundation underlying it. Forget, for now, the apparent achievability of implementing programs that may seem impossible to implement. For example, giving back the land robbed from native people may sound utterly impossible to implement, but perhaps it is the only truly ethical choice in this circumstance. What about reparation for the enslavement of African Americans? Or for the economic, personal, and societal impacts of sexism on women? There are, of course, more examples of groups affected.

Please write a 2-page paper in our standard format on the ethics of reparation. Examine your own actual ethical view on this topic and write from that stance. Choose one, two, or three groups that have been discriminated against (African Americans / Native Americans) and envision ways that reparation might become a reality. Try to dig deep and consider what would actually make up for the harm done, as well as achieve a level of equality currently. If you feel that reparation and/or equality are not appropriate, then substantiate that stance.

Carefully read the chapter prior to writing and bring in material that supports your ideas. Put yourself in the shoes of the groups you are examining. Would your reparations make a difference to you? If not, what might? Gaining equality of opportunity and well-being in all areas of life is an important part of reparation. Can you begin to address this possibility? The idea, in philosophical writing, is to be clear and succinct.

I want these small questions to be answered in my essay.
– How high spatial resolution multispectral data in visible, NIR and thermal can be used to identify surface features that are evidence of archaeological remains?
– what different platforms can be used for archaeological applications of remote sensing?
– how measurements of surface elevation and form can be used to distinguish different features?
– the value of ground-penetrating radar for archaeology?
– what can be learned from ground-penetrating radar?
– what are the range of different sub-surface techniques that are available for studying underground features?

Resolution on State-provided Health Care

In 2016, the UN General Assembly adopted a Resolution on State-provided Health Care. The Resolution expressed “total support for the right of all persons, however needy, to be provided, directly by their governments, with the health care of the highest available quality.” It went on to call on all states to “institute, without further delay, comprehensive systems of government-delivered universal health care” for all persons within their jurisdictions. Several states, including several major states, spoke out strongly against the Resolution, but after a vote, it was adopted by a large majority (181 in favor, 5 opposed, 8 abstentions). One delegate gave a speech proclaiming that “the Resolution represents a significant development in international public health law” and the UN General Assembly had instituted “a firm global commitment to universal government-delivered health for all.”
The positions of States X, Y, and Z on this matter are as follows:
State X voted in favor of the Resolution. It issued a statement that praised the Resolution as “a statement of international law.” However, it went on to say that “certain unfortunate and unavoidable economic constraints preclude the government of State X from implementing the Resolution immediately.” The statement continued: “When the economic climate is sufficiently improved, State X undertakes to give prompt and full effect to the terms of the Resolution.”
State Y also voted in favor of the Resolution. It also, however, expressed concern about the compatibility of the Resolution with a pre-existing treaty obligation, which committed it to safeguard “the right of private enterprise to play the predominant role in health-care delivery” in State Y.
State Z voted against the Resolution. In a statement, it noted that “the government of State Z is of the opinion that the resolution is utopian and aspirational, and consequently is wholly devoid of legal significance.”
To what extent, if any, is EACH of these states (X, Y, and Z) legally bound by the contents of the Resolution? In each case, explain the reasons for your conclusion.

Post-Cold War international strategy

Does the US have a post-Cold War international strategy? Describe and explain three central US security interests in the post-Cold War era. What policies have been developed to replace Cold War policies? Is the US acting more as a unilateralist power or a multilateralist power? Why is it leaning in one direction or the other? Is a coherent policy being developed to address these security interests or is security addressed in an ad hoc manner in the post-Cold War era? Why? Was the pre-emptive war in Iraq a one-time event, or is it a pattern that will continue in the future?

2. The phone rings: It’s Donald Trump asking for advice. He would like you to help him develop a response to US concerns about the actions of two of these three countries: Russia, China, and North Korea. Evaluate the responses of previous administrations in the post-Cold War. Provide the President with advice on future potential issues regarding the two countries you are focusing on.. Explain the costs and benefits of the options you propose in terms of political support and opposition at home.

3. The phone rings. It’s Donald again. Now he needs your help on terrorism. Explain the evolution of Americas counterterrorism policies and the central policy problems. Provide him with specific recommendations concerning his future policies. To what extent have those policies been driven by public opinion, bureaucratic politics, and the evaluation of intelligence? Provide a reasoned evaluation of the prospects (positive and negative) for actually stopping terrorism in light of the current situation regarding ISIS.

4. Why did the US go to war in Iraq? Discuss with reference to the use of intelligence, the Pre-Emption Doctrine, bureaucratic politics, expectations regarding the reactions of the Iraqi people, and perceptions of Iraq.

Evaluate the ethics of the action

Using the scenario discussed in the article, talk about how Aristotle and Mencius would each evaluate the ethics of the action. For Aristotle, consider the virtues and how it impacts us as human beings to act like that; also whether treating people like that is clearly either compatible with or incompatible with any of the virtues, and why. For Mencius, consider both the 5 relationships and the 4 sprouts of goodness/humanity and their properly developed form. Then briefly evaluate the value of the different theories in helping us see and fully understand the ethical issues in the treatment this woman received.

Claim, Evidence warrant paper, pretty simple. All sources must site. doesn’t have to be too crazy. I want at least 2 evidence from each source posted. There are 4 sources. And they must have some sort of connection in a way. For the intro explain what is being discussed and for the conclusion connect all the evidence together and explain how they are related. If you need any more info on the paper, please ask me anything and I will respond to help.

Racial discrimination

Using racial discrimination as the topic, explain how different disciplines might tackle the problem. Specifically, describe the emphasis or approach of a (a) social psychologist; (b) personality psychologist; and (c) sociologist. What theoretical mechanisms might each focus on? (i.e., what does each believe most “causes” discrimination). What would each of these three focus on to reduce or eliminate discrimination?

Social psychologists care

Social psychologists care about isolating the processes involved in understanding a phenomenon. That is, they care about having sufficient evidence that X causes Y in their research and that it does so in the real world as well. Discuss their concerns and how they deal with or solve these concerns, and why these solutions work

The importance of communication and confidence

I believe we should be teaching students with the most severe disabilities and/or multiple disabilities the importance of communication and confidence. According to Anthony Fredericks, author of " The complete idiot’s Guide to: success as a teacher", students with disabilities often have low self-esteem and should be given clear and concise feedback (Fredericks, 2005).

I’ve noticed that when students with disabilities are placed in classrooms with students that don’t have disabilities that they [disabled students] often compare themselves to the other students and feel as if they’re lagging behind. Because of this reason, I think it’s important for them to be taught in a different class from regular students so that their specific needs can be addressed, and they won’t feel compelled to compare themselves.

However, I also believe students without disabilities should definitely be involved in their own way and taught awareness/empathy so that they know how to interact with students with disabilities. In this situation, I believe inclusion is appropriate from a social perspective, not an educational perspective. By this, I mean that students with disabilities should be in separate classrooms, but I also believe that they should be encouraged to interact socially with students without disabilities in extracurricular activities or out-of-school events. As I mentioned previously, if students with disabilities are placed in different classrooms, they won’t feel as much of a desire to compare themselves to non- disabIed students. They can also receive one-on-one attention and guidance without the rest of the class feeling left out. In extracurricular activities and out-of-school events, socialization should be encouraged that way every student’s communication and social skills can be practiced and improved.
