You’re thinking about getting LASIK surgery done since you’re really tired of wearing contacts, but you were surprised to learn about the consequences of the surgery. You decide to find out more about the procedure. To be able to see clearly, the lens and the cornea have to bend light in order to focus and create a picture in the retina.

The change in the size of the eyeball may lead to an error of refraction. It can be corrected by a LASIK procedure that cuts and removes the outer layer of the cornea and slides the center back on with a protective temporary shield. This procedure is done in 15 minutes requiring only a few drops of anesthetic on the eye. View the short video on how LASIK procedures are performed by clicking on the link below.

Additional research will help you understand this topic more fully. Once you’ve watched the video, please follow the instructions in STEP 2 and complete the discussion prompts for this week. i-LASIK Procedure Explained 2. Initial Post: Create a new thread and answer all three parts of the initial prompt below Would you choose to have LASIK surgery if you wore contacts or glasses? Why or why not? Provide an example of changes over the years that may have prompted the public to opt for this procedure to correct their vision. How would you explain LASIK to a patient? Be sure to explain the procedure using terms that a patient can understand.

For the memo, you should imagine that you are a state or city government policy advisor. Your governor or city mayor needs your boss to brief them on a critical problem facing your community. You need to develop a memo that will help your boss “get smart” on the problem and come up with some potential solutions. It is important to select a topic that is very specific. As an example, selecting “education reform” is too general. However, looking at whether your community should expand charter schools or accept new testing standards is better scoped. This specificity will help with your research too.

Please be as detailed as possible by giving the Mayor or Governor a set of options and a recommendation.

Ethical Decision-making For Human and Social Services; As you explored, ethical dilemmas are referred to as such because they involve conflicting values and are not easy to resolve. Furthermore, ethical standards and codes do not often give prescriptive advice for specific situations. For these situations, it is useful to employ ethical decision-making models. These models are frameworks that provide sequential steps to guide your research, thinking, and actions regarding dilemmas you may face.

Your course text presents one ethical decision-making model in detail, but it mentions several others. In your current or future roles as a human and social services professional, the organization for which you work may have adopted models they wish you to use, or you may be free to choose your own. As you become more familiar with the models available, you may wish to select models that closely align with your professional values and perspectives. Finally, remember that when you make ethical decisions in your professional practice, clients should be included in this process whenever possible.

For this Assignment, you apply the ethical decision-making model in your course text to a specific event or issue relevant to working within a family system.

To Prepare:

Select a current event or issue related to ethics for human and social services professionals working within a family system. It is not necessary to select an issue for this Assignment that contains cultural elements, although you may if you wish.
Review the “Ethical Decision Making Model” found in Chapter 3 of your course text Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions. Consider how you would apply this model to the event or issue you selected. If your selected issue does contain cultural elements, you may consider applying the transcultural integrative ethical decision-making model discussed in the article “A Transcultural Integrative Model for Ethical Decision Making in Counseling.”

Using the ethical decision-making model, write a paper in which you:

Describe your selected ethical event or issue related to working within a family system. Be concise yet specific about the ethical issues present.
Explain how you, as a professional, would resolve the dilemma using the steps of the ethical decision-making model. Use the NOHS standards as your relevant code of ethics to clarify the dilemma. For the step regarding consultation, explain what type of professional(s) you would need to contact for consultation

In modern times, there is significant discussion about “justice” and “rights.” We often hear that something does or does not achieve “justice” or that someone has a “right” to something. Please address the following issues in your paper.
1. Define justice and rights from a biblical perspective. This should set a standard by which claims to justice and rights can be analyzed.
2. Select a specific, contemporary legal issue in the United States where individuals assert a “right” to something or state that something is inconsistent with standards of “justice” and apply a biblical understanding of “justice” and “rights” to conclude whether the specific asserted right or claim of injustice you selected is indeed a denial of a “right” or fails to achieve “justice.” Be sure to fully explain each part of your answer.
Be sure to use materials from the reading, the Bible, and outside sources.
