Topic: Fallacies for Ethical Decisions

As we progress forward into this week, I am giving you links to explore how cognitive distortions may corrupt the decision-making process.  Listed below are three very interesting web pages from Dr. Kenneth S Pope, who has written on the psychology of ethics for many years.
As always, I am not endorsing his book, nor do I agree with all of his conclusions, but these pages I think will help all of us contemplate our thinking styles and problem-solving strategies that guide ethical decision making. So, this week you have the opportunity to research very important application of ethics in serious patient populations, and at the same time step back and examine ethical scenarios you may have encountered in your own workplace.
1. The first page is a link to consider common thinking pitfalls that may lead to unethical behavior.  Take the time to reflect on these categories and maybe you have witnessed some of these in your own careers. 

https://kspope.com/ethics/ethicalstandards.php

2. Next, take time to research this list which is a more expansive list of common fallacies in psychology that may appear not only in ethical decision making scenarios. How were these applicable to your own professional experiences and how were they resolved? 

https://kspope.com/fallacies/fallacies.php

3. Finally take time to review Dr Pope’s recommendations for steps to align the decision-making process for you:

4. Now pick a fallacy, share how you think this fallacy derails ethical decision making, and how could you avoid that fallacy.

Select any approach/policy or procedure that is applied in policing. Make sure that you will select policy/procedure that is trauma-informed or is lacking trauma informed approach Once you identify the approach of your choice, you will need to conduct a brief literature review. Explain how the specific approach/policy or procedure addresses or lack to address trauma.

Part 1 In this assignment, you need to select any approach/policy or procedure that is applied in policing. Make sure that you will select policy/procedure that is trauma-informed or is lacking trauma informed approach Once you identify the approach of your choice, you will need to conduct a brief literature review. Explain how the specific approach/policy or procedure addresses or lack to address trauma. The literature must rely on published current research and policy development in journals, agency reports, public policy and laws, and other resources that will lead to a thorough review of the scope of trauma informed services, strategies, policies, best practices and training as it relates to policing. Once the literature is complete you will have adequate evidence to discuss in great detail the following areas of inquiry: a) Explain how the specific approach/policy or procedure addresses or lack to address trauma. Be specific! b) Does the approach/policy or procedure require trauma focused professional development? If so, explain both formal and informal availability higher education and/or training, discuss the course, curriculum and program content as it pertains to trauma. e) While exploring the policy/approach and its focus on trauma informed care, identify the interagency, interdisciplinary linkages/collaboration and partnerships are critical to the success of policing individuals impacted by trauma. Again, make sure that you focus on your specific policy/procedure f) After a thorough review of the policy/procedure and its trauma informed strategies, describe the gaps – what’s missing, what can be improved, what should be the next steps to increase trauma-informed approach. After following the lecture for this week, do you feel that your moral judgment is fully developed?  Does your environment cause you to have to make moral decisions, or does it protect you from having to do them?

Please choose one of the following prompts and respond to it in no less than 5-6 pa. In your response, you must fully answer all aspects of the question and support your answer with reference to course materials (textbook, supplementary readings, videos, etc).Discuss a real-life example in which a social conflict followed Coser’s theory. According to Coser’s (and Simmel’s) insights, what function(s) did this conflict fulfill? In other words, why was it good for society – or at least some people within society?”Conflict theory” derives from the critical work of Karl Marx on economic inequality under capitalism; Coser’s analysis comes from structural-functionalism. How might social conflict be understood using symbolic interactionism? Come up with and discuss an application of this theory to the question of conflict.

During the 2020 COVID pandemic, Governor Greg Abbott was criticized by members of both parties — by the Democrats for inadequate restrictions and by the Republicans (his own party) for having too many restrictions.  In response, a constitutional amendment was proposed in the 2021 Texas legislative session that would limit the powers of the governor in a pandemic or other crisis.  What restrictions on the governor’s powers were proposed?  What were the arguments for and against these restrictions?  What happened to this proposal during the regular session?  Do you believe that the governor exceeded his authority during the pandemic or do you believe the governor’s actions did not go far enough?  Be sure to explain your position in detail.  

How are state judges selected in Texas?  Discuss two different methods used in other states for selecting judges. What are the arguments for each of the selection methods you discussed?  How do you think that Texas judges should be selected?  Explain your reasoning.   How does being appointed or elected affect the accountability and independence of judges?  How informed do you think the public is about judicial elections and judicial candidates?

Read Chapter 11 in the textbook.  Texas is considered to have one of the most regressive tax structures in the nation.  Define “regressive” and “progressive” taxes.  What makes the Texas tax system “regressive?”  How might Texas make its tax system more “progressive?”  What would prevent Texas from having a more progressive tax system?  Is it the job of the tax system to promote equality of taxation across all income groups?

Read about Welfare Policy and Medicaid and Health Care Policy in Chapter 12 of your textbook. Also, review Sections 2 and 5 of the Poverty in Texas content by the Texas Politics Project and the Texas Tribune article “Poverty in Texas drops to lowest level in a decade.”   Why does Texas have such a high poverty rate (when compared to other states in the U.S.), and what steps might the state government take to reduce the poverty level?  How does the political culture of Texas (refer back to Chapter 1) influence the government’s response to poverty?  What are the conservative vs. liberal explanations for poverty (see section 5 in the “Poverty in Texas” content)?  What role do you believe the state and federal governments should play, if any, to reduce the poverty rate?

Discuss how the racial/ethnic makeup of the overall prison population and the death row population in Texas compares to the racial/ethnic breakdown of the general population in Texas.  (Review “Who are Texans?” – Chapter 13)  What might explain the racial/ethnic makeup of the prison population in Texas?  Which regions of the country have higher incarceration rates and death penalty usage?  (Review “Texas and the Nation” – Chapter 13)  What do you think explains the differences in the regional patterns of incarceration and death penalty usage?  After reading Chapter 13, how do you feel about the fairness of the Texas criminal justice system?  To respond to crime in Texas, should the state decriminalize certain behavior, reduce sentence lengths, invest in crime prevention (such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation), or build more prisons?
