Can ‘natural’ food taste good, or does the conventional food industry have an unfair advantage when it comes to creating pleasing, addictive food? Is food packaged as natural also good for you and for the environment? Is it fair trade? Is it ethically produced?

Allow me to adapt a Shakespearian line in this last assignment, devoted to the study of the relationship between food that is marketed as ‘natural’ and the Slow Food Movement.If you recall the slogan of Slow Food, “Good, Clean, and Fair,” you might remember that the flavour of food and its origin are key aspects of the kind of culinary practices that are invoked by Carlo Petrini. In North America, when we want to turn to healthy food, we tend to gravitate towards food labelled as natural. But is ‘natural’ an unproblematic category? Like ‘authentic’, ‘natural’ is a buzzword that moves millions of dollars. Is ‘natural’ also “Good, Clean and Fair”? This time, you can widen your range of shopping locations to look for food that is labelled as natural to test it for goodness, cleanliness, and fairness. Pick three kinds of food (no wine or spirits) and determine whether they fit the Slow Food guidelines. Remember, this is not a quest for Slow Food, but rather a way of deepening your knowledge of the way food is presented as healthy and natural. One of the issues to consider would be taste. I’m reminded of the time when my son used to tell me that he avoids cereal labelled as ‘natural’ like the plague due to their bland if not awful flavour. Can ‘natural’ food taste good, or does the conventional food industry have an unfair advantage when it comes to creating pleasing, addictive food? Is food packaged as natural also good for you and for the environment? Is it fair trade? Is it ethically produced? There are many questions you can ask your food. Have fun with this final assignment. Write a total of maximum 900 words, minimum 700. In this case, make sure you have an introduction and a conclusion.

According to James Surowiecki in the book “The Wisdom of Crowds:” When “Groups” are involved in making a decision they normally have better than “house odds,” which is 70% of getting it right without having 100% of the facts. What techniques have worked for you in forming groups to solve problems?

According to James Surowiecki in the book “The Wisdom of Crowds:” When “Groups” are involved in making a decision they normally have better than “house odds,” which is 70% of getting it right without having 100% of the facts. When groups make decisions they normally, and consistently hit at about 85 to 90% of the time getting the right answer. However, without the facts being available to any human it lowers the odds to a little over the 50-50 point.When considering working in groups, remember there is strength in harmony and like-mindedness: however, diversity facilitates “thinking outside the box.” “Groupthink” is an example of what occurs when conformity is attributed too much emphasis.

Enhanced interogation and ethics – Did Zero Dark Thirty change your perceptions about “enhanced interrogation techniques”? If so, how did they change?Regardless of the semantic question of whether waterboarding is a form of torture, the fact remains that its use presents us with serious ethical dilemmas. Is it ever morally acceptable to subject a prisoner to pain, duress, or humiliation? If so, what circumstances call for such drastic means?

Several recent American films have dealt with ethical issues in international situations and raise thorny questions for students of leadership ethics. One such film is Zero Dark Thirty. If you have not seen the film, you will probably want to watch it, but you can also get a synopsis of the plot on IMDb if you don’t mind spoilers. http://www.imdb.com/There is only one thread for both weeks in this discussion, but be sure you participate at least twice, once to post your own thoughts and once to respond to other students. Of course, if someone engages with you, you should also post a return response. Remember that ethical issues can raise conflicting points of view. It is fine to disagree with a post—we want to generate discussion—but always be respectful.Zero Dark ThirtyZero Dark Thirty is a fictional account of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and presents us with important ethical questions regarding the morality of torture (“enhanced interrogation techniques”) and the responsibilities of filmmakers to represent the truth.Please post your thoughts on the ethical issues raised by this film by responding to one or more of these questions:Ethical Issues and Discussion Questions1. Did Zero Dark Thirty change your perceptions about “enhanced interrogation techniques”? If so, how did they change? 2. Regardless of the semantic question of whether waterboarding is a form of torture, the fact remains that its use presents us with serious ethical dilemmas. Is it ever morally acceptable to subject a prisoner to pain, duress, or humiliation? If so, what circumstances call for such drastic means? 3. Moreover, if coercive modes of interrogation are ever permissible, where should we draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable interrogation methods, and what criteria should we use to establish that line? Who should have final say? 4. Do filmmakers have a moral responsibility not to misinform their audiences about important issues, or do their artistic licenses trump such concerns? 5. The film’s conflict is resolved by the assassination of Osama bin Laden. Should the U.S. government have done more to capture him alive? If avoidable, was this killing—and indeed, the creation of a “Kill List” of terrorists—ethical?Source: Ethics on Film: Discussion of “Zero Dark Thirty.” (2013) Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/education/002/film/reviews/0007.html

Data collection tool: reliability – Under the heading method and design in your research proposal regardless of the method/approach used qualitative, quantitative, or mix methods, you will need to discuss the data collection instrument (tool) you propose to use to gather data. Instrument is the general term that researchers use for a measurement device (survey, questionnaire, test, interview, observation, etc.). Discuss the instrument you intend to use in your research proposal and how you intend to address the instrument’s validity and reliability noting the different types of each.

Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.

Before the digital revolution, health information technology supplied very limited support for evidence-based practice. If nurses wanted to be informed about cutting-edge research, their best bet was to either subscribe to leading journals or make periodic trips to the library. With the establishment of research databases, however, nurses became empowered to learn about and facilitate interdisciplinary and translational research. Databases are just one example of how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.To prepare:· Read the following scenario from the text (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 506):Twelve-hour shifts are problematic for patient and nurse safety, and yet hospitals continue to keep the 12-hour shift schedule. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (Board on Health Care Services & Institute of Medicine, 2004) published a report that referred to studies as early as 1988 that discussed the negative effects of rotating shifts on intervention accuracy. Workers with 12-hour shifts realized more fatigue than workers on 8-hour shifts. In another study done in Turkey by Ilhan, Durukan, Aras, Turkcuoglu, and Aygun (2006), factors relating to increased risk for injury were age of 24 or less, less than 4 years of nursing experience, working in the surgical intensive care units, and working for more than 8 hours.· Consider how the resources identified in the scenario above could influence an organization’s practice.· Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.Post a description of your practice concern. Outline how you used health information technology to locate evidence-based practices that address this concern. Cite and include insights from the resources. Analyze how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.

Designing a handout – develop materials for families that identify and promote children’s social-emotional competence and to evaluate your materials.

To develop materials for families that identify and promote children’s social-emotional competence and to evaluate your materials.Four-year-old Taylor and her family lived in Germany for the past 2 years while her father served in the military. Taylor attended a Kindertagesstätte, a German nursery school, in her neighborhood, and always looked forward to seeing and playing with her friends each day. When Taylor’s family moved back to the United States they immediately enrolled her in an early education program. Despite the fact that she has now attended the program regularly for almost 2 months, Taylor still requires considerable coaxing to participate in any classroom activities. She often sits alone and watches the other children but seldom joins in their play. You understand that it takes time for children to adjust to a new environment, and have taken additional steps to support her social-emotional development during this transitional period. However, you are concerned about the slow progress that Taylor is making despite your efforts. You schedule a meeting with her family to share your thoughts and to involve them in decisions about the next steps that need to be taken. You plan to discuss a typical 4-year-old’s social and emotional skills and to suggest strategies that Taylor’s family can implement at home to help promote her social-emotional competence.Focus Assignment1. In preparation for the meeting with Taylor’s parents, construct a handout that describes at least five social-emotional skills that are typical of a 4-year-old. In addition, include at least three suggestions for ways that Taylor’s family can encourage her social-emotional development at home.2. Be sure to read the REFLECTION section below to guide your thinking. Write your reflection after you have completed your handout. Self-Evaluation1. For each item on your handout: a. Explain how this item relates to issues in the scenario. 2. Describe and justify how your handout will improve teaching and learning in the scenario.

Ethical decision making- review several of the ethical dilemmas below, which are based upon actual situations employees have found themselves facing.

As an employee in an organization, it may happen that you are faced with a situation that puts your ethics to the test. In order to help prepare you overcome those forces that might prevent you from reaching your ethical leadership potential, I want you to review several of the ethical dilemmas below, which are based upon actual situations employees have found themselves facing.———————————————————————————————————————————Quality or QuantityWhen Incentives Don’t Match Your ValuesNoah Rickling, Hackworth Business Ethics Fellow ‘13Frank, a recent Santa Clara University graduate, recently landed a sales job for a Silicon Valley tech company. He is part of a team that qualifies sales opportunities. After talking to potential customers, Frank decides whether or not they are quality leads. If they are, he refers them to an account executive (AE) to close the deal, saving the company precious time in money in avoiding low probability contracts. If not, he will not pass them on and the sales opportunity is not pursued. Account executives expect prescreening of potential leads in order to maximize their time. Each referral Frank passes to the AE is added to a tally that counts toward his target monthly total, and there is a monetary bonus for all sales staff members who reach their monthly quota.This creates some controversy among Frank’s team members, who are faced with conflicting incentives; pass on low quality leads to hit your quota, or focus on quality and risk missing the monthly target. The pressure to “hit your number” comes from both the monetary incentive and management, who benefit when their sales team hits their quotas. To further complicate matters, since each sales representative self-reports how many leads they passed along, they can inflate their numbers in order to reach the monthly target goal: a common occurrence among Frank’s coworkers.As Frank tries to adjust to his new job, he is finding it difficult to balance his own moral compass with the pressure of hitting his monthly number.How would you handle the dilemma between hitting the quota and submitting quality work you stand behind? What factors would weigh into your decision? What solutions would best solve this dilemma?—————————————————————————————————————————————After reading several of these mini cases, pick one that interests you and address the following questions and explain.What are the major elements of the situation influencing your thoughts, decisions, and (hypothetical) actions?How would you respond in the situation?Why you chose that response.If possible, please choose one that has not been posted (or only has a couple posts rather than dozens).
