Singer or Arthur
CBC News- The Church service aid agency is warning that” Immediate massive intervention and assistance” are needed to prevent mass starvation in Kenya. A team from the humanitarian agency reported recently that many fields are barren and cracked, dried out by the drought that is threatening a third of the east African country’s population, or about 10 million people.
What was once among the most fertile land I  Africa can now only support a few struggling plants suitable only for grazing cattle. “ We don’t have any food”. Farmer Lizy Bimba, a Kwale resident, said in Swahili. In one area, a local official reported that 85% of 5,600 people are facing starvation, the church world service team said. Other farmers have left the land to find what work they can.” We have been forced to do this so that we get money to buy food.” Musa Charo said in Swahili as he broke rocks to earn money to feed his 10 children. The government declared the food shortage a national disaster on Jan. 16, the UN is appealing for international help and aid agencies warn that the problem will only get worse.
A/ Do you favor peter Singer’s path in which affluent individuals would be obligated to give much of their wealth to feef the hungry? Or Arthur’s way, in which the rich would have a duty to give some aid but would also have obligations to themselves and to their family and friends? Explain

How has technology influenced your decisions in healthcare?

 
Main post: Technology has become an important part of healthcare and it is often utilized to make important decisions. Reflecting on your experiences both as a client and as a student nurse, discuss one instance as a consumer of healthcare and one instance as a healthcare professional, where technology has affected a decision you have made and how the outcome was affected. If you have not worked in healthcare, please research a technology commonly used by healthcare professionals.) Make sure posts are through, well-researched, and meet minimum requirements and word counts (see rubric). 
For the response to your peers, recommend an alternative technology that they may use to help in decision making related to the example they shared. Make sure responses are also thorough, well-researched, and meet minimum requirements and work counts (see rubric).

What harms are potentially produced by the FBI’s demand that Apple help it open an iPhone? What harms are potentially produced by Apple’s refusal to help the FBI?

“Here are some questions to ponder while you discuss this issue:
1. What harms are potentially produced by the FBI’s demand that Apple help it open an iPhone? What harms are potentially produced by Apple’s refusal to help the FBI?
2. Do you think Apple had a moral obligation to help the FBI open the iPhone in this case because it involved terrorism and a mass shooting? What if the case involved a different type of criminal activity instead, such as drug trafficking? Explain your reasoning.
3. Apple argued that helping to open one iPhone would produce code that could be used to make private information on all iPhones vulnerable, not only to the American government but also to other foreign governments and criminal elements. Do you agree with Apple’s “slippery slope” argument? Does avoiding these harms provide adequate justification for Apple’s refusal to open the phone, even if it could reveal crucial information on the terrorist shooting?
4. Politicians from across the political spectrum, including President Obama and Senator Ted Cruz, argued that technology preventing government access to information should not exist. Do you agree with this limit on personal privacy? Why or why not?
5. Ultimately, the FBI gained access to the iPhone in question without the help of Apple. Does this development change your assessment of the ethical dimensions of Apple’s refusal to help the FBI? Why or why not? Should the FBI share information on how it opened the iPhone with Apple so that it can patch the vulnerability? Explain your reasoning.”

Why should stakeholders be considered during the decision-making process?

Assignment Details
In this unit, we will explore the role of stakeholders and their impact on an organization, the stakeholder model, and the ethical obligations of an organization to those stakeholders.
