  • Assignment #2

    Ethical Issue Assignment:

    Please use the ethical issue framework and questions from Chapter 2 power point to help you go step by step through this process.

    I want you to copy/paste the format I have below and write your answers under the questions.

    Scenario:

    You are working in internal affairs, and in the course of another investigation, you discover disturbing evidence regarding the police chiefs son, who is also an officer in the department. Several informants have confided in you that this individual has roughed them up and taken their drugs, yet you find no record of arrest or the drugs being logged in the evidence room. When you write your report, your sergeant tears it up and tells you that there is not enough evidence to justify an investigation and for you to stick to what you are told to do. The chief calls you into his office the next day and offers you a transfer to a high-status position that will lead to a promotion. What should you do?

    You can go through the process and explain your thoughts using the headings. I put the information for your below. Please go back through the end of Chapter 2 PP to make sure you understand the process.

    General Framework:

    (1) Relevant Law? (take a guess on a law that would be relevant – if you don’t know, you can just write “Not sure”)

    (2)Relevant Policies? (every police department, organization, etc. has policies) (take a guess on any policies that would be relevant – if you don’t know, you can just write “Not sure”)

    (3) Which ethical principles will be applied? (Select 2 or 3. Explain what it is and then tell me how it applies)

    Critical thinking questions:

    (1)What info an I USING in coming to a conclusion?

    (2) What info do I NEED to settle the question? (What info is missing)

    (3) Is there another way to INTERPRET the info? (There is always another way to interpret – tell me what it is)

    (4) What ASSUMPTION led to my conclusion? (Tell me what you assumed about the people in the scenario)

    (5) Is there another POINT OF VIEW to consider? (there is always another POV)

    (6) What CONSEQUENCES might be the result of the conclusion?

    –> After you complete these steps, tell me what you what do if you were in this situation and explain why (2-4 sentences)

    Ethical Principle Sample from class:

    Values are elements of desirability, worth or importance. Values become clear when there is a choice to be made. When there are competing values, the value that wins is the priority at that time.

    Poole is in a situation where his values may clash because of the expectation of his superior and his dedication to his job. If Poole was to value honesty and Justice, he would stick with his 40-page report that clearly shows the corruption and the assault of Jimenez. Justice is shown because he is committed to his oath as a public servant. He is demonstrating an unbiased view of the incident.

    Poole is under a lot of pressure to cut his report down to 2 pages, which would leave out important information. If Poole values loyalty to his chief, then he will go against his instinct and appease the chief. By showing loyalty, the gang remembers who reported the corruption will not see any change and will likely face the consequences of reporting. Poole may receive backlash from the gang members, however, he would likely make his life easier in the workplace by not going against his team.

  • Introduction

    The Introduction Section of the research paper sets up the problem that the research study attempts to explore. This is often achieved by referencing resources in the field to help the writer establish a gap between ideal and reality within the research topic before briefly addressing what the researchers study will aim to do to better understand the topic and bridge that gap.

  • Unit 10 Discussion – Admin Law

    As you have learned this week, the doctrine of exhaustion of administrative remedies is the principle that administrative remedies must be pursued and exhausted before judicial review is available. Specifically, before a party is permitted to seek judicial review of agency action, an agency must be given an opportunity to correct its own errors. Your textbook outlined five commonly raised reasons why the doctrine of exhaustion is necessary: Agencies learn by correcting their own mistakes. Exhaustion promotes and preserves agency autonomy and independence. Judicial economy is promoted by permitting an agency to make a complete record. Judicial economy is further promoted by allowing an agency, and not a court, to make findings. By limiting a party’s appeal to the courts, exhaustion encourages cooperation and communication between agencies and the party. Applying the concept of the doctrine of exhaustion of administrative remedies, answer the following questions: Why does the doctrine of exhaustion of administrative remedies exist, and what purpose does it serve? Do you believe the doctrine helps or hinders individuals in resolving disputes with administrative agencies? Do any exceptions to the doctrine exist? If so, do you agree or disagree with the exceptions? Should the doctrine be reformed to better balance agency autonomy and individual rights? If so, what changes would you recommend?

  • Essay 1: Thesis Statement Review / Very Brief Outline – DC

    This is part of 2: 10276788

    For the link to the article that was chosen;

    Part 1:

    Essay 1: Thesis Statement Review (3-4 sentences)

    For this assignment, post a brief summary of the article you have chosen to respond to for the first essay and your thesis statement. You may also want to provide a brief explanation about your thesis if you have chosen to focus on only one specific point in the article you have selected.

    Part 2: (1-2 sentences)

    Once part 1 is done, I will add 2 classmates discussion post that you can respond to.

    Part 3: Very Brief Outline

    For this assignment, write up a bullet point list of the main ideas from your essay. Each bullet point should represent no more than a full paragraph, but you may want to break your ideas down even further and list two or three points from each paragraph. Only one idea per paragraph is required. As such, if your essay is going to be seven paragraphs long, you should have seven bullet points.

    Then, between each bullet point, place a word or words that clearly explains the connection between the ideas. For example, I might have the following two ideas listed on my brief outline:

    • The political climate in America today is deeply divided.
    • Many of society’s biggest problems are not being solved.

    Each of these points represents a full paragraph in my essay. As such, I will have several other sentences in my paragraphs explaining each point. However, the topic of each paragraph is summarized by the idea presented. But if you really think about it, it isn’t entirely clear how I have decided that these two ideas are related. So instead of just a list of several bullet points, also include a word in between each of the ideas that clearly explains how these ideas are related. For example:

    • The political climate in America today is deeply divided.
    • As a result
    • Many of society’s biggest problems are not being solved.

    Making clear the logical connections between your ideas is called developing your line of reasoning, and it is one of the three central things your essay will be graded on.

    Some of the words you can include between your bullet points are conjunctions. The most common are the coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS, for those who remember that acronym): For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. However, there are also quite a few others. The conjunctive adverbs do exactly the same thing as the coordinating conjunctions, but they “sound” a lot “smarter.” I often use the acronym HOTSHOTCAT to help my students remember some of them: However, Otherwise, Therefore, Hence, On the other hand, Thus, Consequently, As a result, Then. Obviously (there’s another one!), there are a lot of these conjunctive adverbs and they can consist of more than one word. Here’s

    , but there are many, many more. You don’t have to watch it, but a decent (and relatively short) video on this topic is below:

    Part 4: 1-2 sentences

    Once part 3 is complete, I will add classmates discussion post that you can respond to.

  • Unit 10 Discussion – ADR

    Amendment VII Research the strong feelings the Founders had when they passed Amendment VII to the U.S. Constitution, which states in relevant part, “In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.” Reflecting on what you have learned in this course and the sentiment of the Founders, what, if anything, has changed which would allow the use and prevalence of the ADR within the U.S. legal system? Do you feel that ADR will, or has, actually become primary dispute resolution (PDR)? Why or why not?
