How is your role in government different from an elected official?

You should now be familiar with how appointed judges compare to elected officials and the role of judicial review in U.S. government. A middle school civics class is studying the role of judges, and the teacher has enlisted your help! Use the information you’ve learned in the lesson and the profiles below to write an interview script with a judge that will help middle school students understand the important job judges do.
Step

Select a judge to “interview” from one of these Profiles. Alternatively, you could choose to interview a real judge!
Imagine yourself as the judge you read about in the profile. From his or her perspective, compose answers to the following questions:

How is your role in government different from an elected official?
How is it the same?
Do you think judges should be elected? Explain why or why not.
What is judicial review?
Please explain the role of judicial review in a case you recently decided.
Please explain how you arrived at your decision, including different factors that affected it.

Note: If you choose to actually interview a judge, be sure to address the questions above, in addition to any others you’d like to ask. Review this Presentation on conducting an interview to review tips and good practices

Post an explanation of the impact of ethical decision making on positive social change.

In many of the Assignments in the course, you employed ethical decision making in order to recommend solutions to ethical issues within government and nonprofit organizations. As a current or future public administrator in a government or nonprofit organization, you must act responsibly and ethically to ensure positive social change. One way to promote the ethical conduct of your organization is to utilize ethical decision making effectively. However, decision making often has consequences for different groups.. For example, a decision that positively affects a domestic population might negatively impact a foreign population.
In this Discussion, you consider the impact of ethical decision making on positive social change.
Post an explanation of the impact of ethical decision making on positive social change. Summarize specific examples of the ethical decisions you proposed throughout the course and explain how they might promote positive social change. Finally, explain any negative impacts in terms of social change that this decision making might have.
