In 1997, a civil court awarded $25 million in punitive damages for the wrongful deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The Goldman family was also awarded $8.5 million in compensatory damages. Punitive damages are designed to account for the reprehensibility of the act, while compensatory damages are designed to compensate for a loss.
Is it right or wrong to assign a monetary value to human life? How should society calculate compensatory and punitive damages in wrongful death cases?

Responding to the usefulness of your classmates’ post material to Human Service practice.
Providing additional analysis of how the topic evaluates/assesses the quality of healthcare services.
Offering one additional primary/secondary reference (cited) that provides support for the material that is addressed by your classmate.

A woman enters an emergency room with stomach pain. She undergoes scans and is diagnosed with a weakening wall of one of the chambers of her heart. The doctor informs the patient that the only way to fix the problem is with surgery and her chances of survival are 50/50. The doctor also tells the patient that time is of the essence and that she could die in a few short minutes. The woman is a skin model and worries that the surgery will leave a scar that will affect her work and refuses the surgery. The doctor feels that the woman is not in a correct state of mind to make this decision. What are the ethical issues in this scenario? What are two ways the doctor could move forward in treating the patient and the possible outcomes of each approach?

Compare the great power theorys origins from Kissinger and look at the 16th-19th centuries
Thesis
1. The Balance of Power Theory Is Not Useful in Terms of Explaining the US Decision to Support Ukraine, the revolution in 2014, and sanctioning Russia in 2014 because it fails to take into context the velocity and condition of powers as their relative power position changes. Liberal argument fails because it fails to take that Neo realist argument into account.2.3. Transition to Core Argument, which is that the Offensive Realist Argument Explains the US Decision Better
2. The United States recent hegemony meant it failed to consider risks to its position adequately
1. The US saw Ukrainian activists NATO aspirations as proof of its liberal position being correct
1. Powers like things that reassure themselves, it is easier to look for these than to look for new risks
2. The US Position was so dangerous because Russia is a recently declined power and weary of threat and naturally saw NATOs expansion to its borders as a major threat (defensive realist threat)
1. NATO structure doesnt matter (take down constructivist argument)3. Liberal Order Fails to Provide Real Security Guarantees in a Realist World
1. Ukraine was left out to dry after 2014 even as sanctions and tensions increased
1. No real Western support in terms of arms, but continued NATO talk meant Russia saw the threat as real (the west thought no arms support would be enough to calm Russia down)
2.
2. even NATO article5 is untested
4. Explain velocity argument1. The rate at which powers rise and fall today is faster than ever before
1. Compare the great power theorys origins from Kissinger and look at the 16th-19th centuries
2. The US completely missed the speed of Chinas riseacademic references for examples
3. Additional examples of US hubris, put them in the context of velocity1. US failure to consider China, errors in the Middle East

Describe two (2) tips for writing an effective work experience section from your research.
Welcome to your SS2000 Week 1 Discussion! As you develop your résumé, think about how you would present your experience to your future employers. Think about how your job responsibilities and accomplishments may relate to the healthcare field and be marketable to those employers. Reviewing your experience and skills is called a professional self-inventory. There are many examples of professional self-inventories to help you identify your skills.
During an interview, you will likely be asked questions that prompt you to talk about your previous work (or volunteer) experience and how it helped prepare you for the position you currently seek. Take a few minutes and think about the experiences and skills you would want to share, and any areas where you would like to grow.
For this discussion, conduct some online research on professional self-inventories and how to use one to write an effective work experience section for your résumé. Use the insights you gain to help you answer the discussion prompts.
2. Initial Post: Create a new thread and answer all three parts of the initial prompt below
Introduce yourself to your instructor and classmates. Be sure to include the following:
After completing the professional self-inventory, introduce yourself to your instructor and classmates as you would to an employer in an interview by briefly describing your work (or volunteer) experience. Use the results of your self-inventory to guide your introduction.
Explain how your work (or volunteer) experience or skills will be valuable in the healthcare field.
Describe two (2) tips for writing an effective work experience section from your research. Be sure to cite your source(s

Describe the best leader you have personally known. What makes this person such a good leader?
Module One
Discussion topics include:
What is leadership?
Leadership myths
The leader-follower-situation triad
Assignments for Session 1 include:
Text: Chapter 1
As you read Chapter 1, you will see that there have been many definitions offered for the common word ?leadership.? Leadership is influence. In this broad sense, we are all leaders in many aspects of our lives and with many people. Parents influence children; friends influence friends; colleagues influence colleagues. Subordinates influence their bosses as sure as bosses influence their subordinates. Leadership opportunities are everywhere.
I have always been curious as to how leadership can be both an art and a science, although I am sure it is a combination of both. ?Art? seems to imply a creativity and an essential lack of order while ?science? seems to be very much the opposite. Science rests on research and, as you will learn through your master?s curriculum in leadership, much research has been done in this field. Yet, great leaders often know nothing about this research and seem not to ascribe to any scientific application of principles emanating from that research. What makes a great leader in any event?
Leadership entails an essential interaction between at least three elements: the leader, the followers, and the situation. Depending on the particulars of these elements, a ?great leader? in one situation may be quite ineffective in another situation. To understand leadership, then, it is probably important to equally concentrate on situations and followers.
Module One Discussion Questions (due by Thursday)
Note: Please type the question and then the answer which should be about 250 words for each question.
Describe the best leader you have personally known. What makes this person such a good leader? Include in your description the characteristics detailed in the textbook. How does your leader exhibit some of these characteristics?
What are the essential differences between being an effective manager and an effective leader?
King (2023) explained there are four key attitudes of scientific research including critical thinking, skepticism, objectivity, and curiosity. This first assignment will focus on the last attitude of curiosity. What are you curious about related to human behavior? Have you ever wondered, ?Why did they do that?? when looking at someone else?

This first assignment will focus on the last attitude of curiosity. What are you curious about related to human behavior? Have you ever wondered, ?Why did they do that?? when looking at someone else?s behavior. The first step in writing is to choose a topic that interests you.
Assignment Instructions:
For the first assignment, you will need to spend some time looking through the textbook, The Science of Psychology: An Appreciative View (King, 2023). You may want to start with the chapter titles and then look within a chapter that seems interesting. Browse the chapter for specific topics, concepts, theories, ideas, etc, that seem to spark your interest. Make a list of these topics as you look through the text.
From this list, identify three (3) that you might want to explore further. Is it something you want to learn more about? Do you have personal experience with that topic? Is it something you have never heard of but at first glance are curious about?
Student Response:
List 3 topics (concepts, research findings, theories, ideas, etc.) from the text that sound interesting to you. Write the page number and write the definition from the textbook.
