Do you think people have a right to die if they are in great pain and diagnosed with a terminal illness?
Discussion Topic: The Right-To-Die Movement
Healthy dying” has become a more prominent issue in the U.S., especially when the New York Times published an article about a woman named Jo Roman, a 62-year-old artist with terminal cancer who took her own life with an overdose of medication after gathering close friends around her for a celebration prior to her farewell passage, (Zanden, Crandell, & Crandell, 2007, p. 650). Then, Dr. Jack Kevorkian began to help people with terminal illnesses end their lives. And most recently the disputes in the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case became headline news in 2005.”As the technology to keep people alive continues to improve, the ethical issues about active euthanasia in general and physician-assisted suicide, in particular, will continue to become more complex and will likely focus increasingly on the quality of life ” (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2016, p. 558).To prepare for this discussion, read pages 555-559 in your text.“Taking one’s own life through ritual suicide has never been popular in the United States because of religious and other prohibitions. In other cultures, such as Japan, suicide is viewed as an honorable way to die under certain circumstances. Asian Americans have the highest suicide rate in the US, and their suicide notes are likely to reveal that they considered themselves a burden on their families,” (Pascual, 2010 in Kail & Cavanaugh, 2016, p. 557).In 1984, the Dutch Supreme Court eliminated prosecution of physicians who assist in suicide if five criteria are met:
- The patient’s condition is intolerable with no hope for improvement.
- No relief is available.
- The patient is competent.
- The patient makes a request repeatedly over time.
- Two physicians have reviewed the case and agree with the patient’s request.
(Deutsch, 2001 in Kail & Cavanaugh, 2016, p. 557).In preparing for this discussion please also consider the following additional facts:
- In Australia, the Northern Territory became the first state in the world to legalize voluntary active euthanasia under the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act of 1995. However, in 1997 their Federal Parliament overturned this legislation.
- In the Netherlands, euthanasia has been legalized by the Dutch Parliament since 2001.
- In 2002, Belgium also legalized physician-assisted suicide.
- In the U.S., Oregon residents passed the Death with Dignity Act legalizing physician-assisted suicide in 1994.
Discussion questions:
- Do you think people have a right to die if they are in great pain and diagnosed with a terminal illness?
- What is the difference between euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide?
- Should euthanasia be legal or illegal?
- Should physician-assisted suicide be legal or illegal?
Notes:
- Remember to cite a source in your primary post.

What are some characteristics of someone with a global mindset?
Social Capital is the benefits or value-add arising from connections and relationships between people in and outside of an organization. Cultural challenges are a known issue across global organizations. A prominent solution receiving increased attention is the construct of a global mindset, which has growing rhetoric but little research support (Joana S. P.Story, 2014).
Global talent management is essential when selecting the best-qualified candidate for an international position. A global position would require a potential candidate to be willing to learn and respect different cultures. On a very global personality level, openness to experiences is a personality trait that describes how much a person is open to new ideas and new behavior patterns and how much a person prefers a variety of their life and tolerates the unfamiliar (Costa, 1989).

Toolbox Exercise – Future Headline and Vision Statement
NOTE REGARDING TOOLBOX EXERCISES – These exercises are meant to be cumulative in nature.

Your frame of reference for these exercises should be the shoe company you manager on the Business Simulation Game.
The Toolbox Exercise for Session 2 may seem rather simple but it can be a task in which teams struggle reaching consensus. So, take your time and collaborate. This way you’ll come up with a product everyone will agree upon. Remember, this is another piece of the puzzle that will be your Strategic Plan and Final Presentation. Here is what your team needs to do:
· Draft a headline which answers the question: What would we like to read as the headline about this organization/company on this date in the year 2037?
· Based upon this headline, craft your company’s Vision Statement.
· Later in the strategic management process, refer back to this headline. The strategies are the “how” to achieve the headline.
· Submit the Vision Statement in the discussion area of the Virtual Team Page.
· Have your group facilitator submit the Vision Statement to this assignment dropbox.

7) What does this experiment suggest about the power of “authority” and “obedience”?
8) What happened in follow-up experiments when the subjects could actually see or touch the “victim”? Why do you think this occurred?
For the Stanford Prison experiment:
1) How was the group of subjects split at the beginning of the experiment and what were they told?
2) What started to happen shortly after the experiment started?
3) Describe the behaviors of the “guards” and the “prisoners”.

5) What prevented “good guards” from objecting or countermanding the orders from tough or bad guards?
6) What was the response of the guards when the prisoners stated to rebel? How did the prisoners react to this?
