The purpose of this discussion assignment is two-fold: to demonstrate a deeper understanding of forgiveness and active vs. passive approaches with regard to relationships and forgiveness,  and to integrate learning on forgiveness with your overall learning from the journal exercises and the course. Write a 400-500 word discussion post that discusses takeaways from this section related to the above 2 areas.  Questions to consider when addressing Part 1 of the question: Take some time to reflect on this week’s topic of forgiveness. What did you learn about forgiveness and impact on relationships? How does this affect your own goals for growth in the areas of forgiveness, apology, and facilitating forgiveness? What is the value of an active vs. passive approach to relationships and forgiveness? How could you use knowledge of forgiveness and reconciliation in your work as a helping professional?  Questions to consider when addressing Part II of the question: Why is it important to address skills and competencies, such as those addressed in your learning journal (e.g. communication skills, anger management, etc.) and to grow in the area of mindfulness? How have you personally grown with regard to skills and competencies related to forgiveness and all of the other competencies addressed in your learning journal and the course? What goals do you have for continued improvement and filling in gaps in these areas and what challenges do you face with accomplishing these goals?   CITE: Interpersonal Conflict Reading by Wilmot & Hocker – Chapter 10, pages 318-358 and Chapter 6, pages 195-226 Human Services Application Reading by Barksy: Facilitating Forgiveness, pages 423-428

Instructions Directions: Be sure to save an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English, spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be at least four (4) double-spaced pages; refer to the “Assignment Format” page located on the Course Home page for specific format requirements. Suppose that you are employed as a reporter by the local newspaper in your town. You learn that Ron Smith, one of the individuals running for sheriff in the county, has been accused of sexual assault. The victim came to you, seeking help. You want to vet her story and run an article. The election is next week. Your boss asks you to hold off publishing the article until after the election results are tallied. In the workplace, you will be confronted with ethical dilemmas. None as disturbing as this one perhaps, but dilemmas nonetheless. Which of the three ethical principles covered so far would be the most appropriate approach to ethical dilemmas encountered in the twenty-first century? Remember that Aristotle’s focus was virtue, Kant’s was duty, and John Stuart Mill’s was utility. Defend your answer. Include in your discussion reasons why the other two principles would not work as well today. Support your writing assignment with two (2) outside scholarly articles

APA format, Times 12 font, double spaced, 4 pages in length   STEP 1: Complete the NEO-PI via this link: http://www.personal.psu.edu/~j5j/IPIP/ipipneo300.htm and read through your results thoroughly. Make note of your initial feelings while reading your results. Do they appear consistent with what you know about yourself? Did anything surprise you? Use these notes as topics you’d like to include in the personal section of this paper (see below for requirements).   STEP 2: SCIENTIFIC/ACADEMIC WRITING SECTION (2 1/2-3 pages) Choose two articles of interest from the list of personality reserves on blackboard ). First, I’d like an academic discussion and comparison/contrast of the key points addressed in the articles. Do not summarize the articles. This is scientific and academic writing, not opinion-based, therefore you are not using personal pronouns here (no ‘I’, ‘we’, ‘I think,’ statements). Major findings? Do the articles contradict one another? How do the articles relate to each other or to Psychology/Human Relations field? What is insightful about the articles? What is compelling? Why is this research important? Answer these questions and cite the two articles within your paper (when using quotes, paraphrasing, or referencing). Be sure to refer to APA guidelines while referencing, see help below).   STEP 3: PERSONAL SECTION Discuss the results of your test very briefly. Discuss any insight, surprise, information, etc. that you gained as a result of taking the test. Finally, relate your NEO-PI results to either of the articles’ discussion in some way. As you were reading the article, did it bring about any thoughts related to your own personality, life, or goals? Discuss. Did the article give you insight into how you’d like to change your attitudes, values, relationships or beliefs? (1-1 1/2 pages)

It is an analysis on the Willowbrook Hepatitis Experiments. The reading is from Intervention and Reflection (Basic Issues in Bioethics) by Ronald Munson and Ian Lague.  I have attached the required reading parts for this assignment in a PDF. It starts on pg. 140 at The Willowbrook Hepatitis Experiments to pg. 141. Then it goes from the bottom of pg. 172 at Section 1: Consent and Experimentation to the top half of pg 179.  The directions are to organize an analysis according to these 3 questions: 1) First present the case as it happened including all of the important details. As you do this, explain what moral values are involved and if there are any conflicting values. 2) Present an explanation of how you believe Aristotle (Virtue Ethics) would judge the case in question. Would Aristotle understand the outcome involved to be morally right or wrong? Why? Analyzing a case according to Aristotle requires applying the moral virtues to the case in question. Next, present an explanation of how you believe Kant (Deontological Ethics) would judge the case in question. Would Kant understand the outcome involved to be morally right or wrong? Why? Analyzing a case according to Kant requires applying the Categorical Imperative in the two forms we discussed. Lastly, present an explanation of how you believe Mill (Utilitarian Ethics) would judge the case in question. Would Mill understand the outcome involved to be morally right or wrong? Why? Analyzing a case according to Mill requires applying the Greatest Happiness Principle and any secondary rules that apply to the case. 3) Present what you believe to be the most ethically sound outcome for this case, regardless of how it actually happened, and why you think that. Please carefully answer everything that is being asked and to cite anything that was used. Thank you.

The purpose of this assignment is to ground ideas from any lecture topic from the first six weeks of class in a case study from a municipality in the Toronto city-region. Your essay should document an urban development, planning, or policy issue that has been written about in at least 3 different Toronto newspaper articles (e.g., in the Toronto Star or Globe & Mail) within the last decade and make an original argument about how the print media has represented that issue in its coverage. Your essay should answer the following questions: What is the urban development, planning, or policy issue discussed by the journalist? Why is this issue of public interest? How does the issue relate to ideas, concepts, and arguments discussed in urban geography lectures and assigned readings? How has the print media story been told and framed by the journalist? Whose voices/perspectives/priorities are quoted and paraphrased and whose are absent? What information is present and what information is missing? How have city leaders (e.g., urban planners, policymakers, politicians) responded to the issue? What more could to be done to address this issue? The essay should be 10, double-spaced, and typed pages in length using 12-point font with the pages clearly numbered: title page (1 page, with a unique essay title, full name, student number, and date of submission); introduction (2 pages, provide overview of the urban development tension, the essay argument, and the essay structure); body of essay (4 pages, interpret print media coverage); conclusion (2 pages, summarize analysis and explain what more needs to be done); and a bibliography (1 page with a minimum of three newspaper references and six scholarly references other than the course textbook). PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SIX SCHOLARY REFERNCES NEEDED PLUS THREE NEWSPAPER ARTCILES. PLEASE SITE ALL YOUR SOURCES.

WORLD RELIGIONS CLASS 10  –  JUDAISM PART II   Write a paragraph of 100 – 150 words in response to each of the following four tasks   Task 1: The “Hebrew Bible” and the “Old Testament”   Watch the following video and answer the question that follows:   What is the crucial difference between a Jewish and Christian reading of the Hebrew Bible, especially the idea that God will raise up a “new Moses”, a new king from the line of David? (The Hebrew Bible calls this new king the “Messiah”, a term that translates into Greek as “Christ’)   Task 2: Supersessionism Read the short article below on “supersessionism” and then write a paragraph offering your thoughts on whether the Hebrew Bible should be regarded as divine revelation in its own right or whether it is only divine revelation when read in the full context of the Christian Bible (You may of course address this from any perspective ….Christian/ Muslim/ Jewish/ atheist/ agnostic…it is your argument that matters)   Supersessionism is the traditional Christian belief that Christianity is the fulfillment of Biblical Judaism, and therefore that Jews who deny that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah fall short of their calling as God’s Chosen people. Supersessionism, in its more radical form, maintains that the Jews are no longer considered to be God’s Chosen people in any sense. This understanding is generally termed “replacement theology.” The traditional form of supersessionism does not theorize a replacement; instead it argues that Israel has been superseded only in the sense that the Church has been entrusted with the fulfillment of the promises of which Jewish Israel is the trustee. This belief has served not only as the explanation for why believers in Christ should not become Jews, but is also the reason that Jews are not exempted by the Christian churches, from the call of the Gospel to believe in Jesus Christ for salvation from sin and from the penalties due to sin. In recent times, the doctrine of supersessionism has been blamed for mistreatment of the Jews in the past. Some liberal Protestant groups have therefore formally renounced supersessionism, affirming that Jews and other non-Christians have a valid way to find God within their own faith, which breaks from historic Protestant teaching. Dispensationalism affirms that salvation is only through faith in Christ, and that Jews fall short of obtaining the kingdom of the promised Messiah, unless they are converted to Christianity. However, in their view, a future mass conversion will result in the restoration of the nation Israel prior to the Millennium, apart from the church dispensation. This anticipation of a future role for the ethnic and geo-political nation of Israel in the plan of God, apart from the Church, is what is meant by some dispensationalists who style themselves as rejectors of “supersessionism” or “replacement theology”, and thus they are using the terms in a way that is distinctive to their expectation of future events. Source: https://www.theopedia.com/supersessionism   Task 3: How did Christianity emerge from Judaism? Describe the circumstances in which Christianity became a religion in its own right.     Task 4:  Antisemitism (anti-Jewishness) and the Gospels   Who killed Jesus and why this question matter in relation to the historical roots of antisemitism? (Bear in mind that the four gospel accounts of the death of Jesus which occurred around 30AD are written between 65AD and 100AD. By 80AD, the Christians had been expelled from the Jewish community for accepting non-Jews into their commuities and for their claims about Jesus. Embittered by their expulsion, the gospel writers present the Jewish people in a very negative light – as enthusiastically calling on the Roman governor, Pilate, to have Jesus crucified.)
