 COURSE: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Discussion No. 5: SCOTUS
Alexander Hamilton wrote that the laws are a “dead letter without courts to expound and define their true meaning and operations” (writing as Publius in 
Federalist No. 22). Why is this the case? How does the institution of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) perform a function essential to government? How does it relate to the other branches? Elsewhere in 
The Federalist, Hamilton writes that, from “the nature of its functions,” the judiciary “will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution… It may truly be said to have neither 
force nor 
will, but merely judgment” (
Federalist No. 78). Is Hamilton’s view correct in your view, today? State the questions and give the answers below. Half work done will not be accepted.

An ethical decision-making model is a tool that can be used by professionals in psychology to help develop the ability to think through an ethical dilemma and arrive at a responsible and ethical decision. This  assesses your application of ethical decision-making by requiring critical thinking and analysis through your recommendations to an ethical dilemma.   You work for a large corporation in human resources as a psychologist. In that capacity, it is your job to select and administer psychological tests that measure intelligence and cognitive ability as part of the employee selection process. The company has been hiring engineers and you notice that in the next group of prospects, many are recent immigrants from Pakistan, Korea, and India. You realize that the standardized tests you have been using do not seem to be culture-neutral and are biased toward native English speakers.    Should you use different tests that are less culture-bound?  How would you select assessments that are culture-neutral?  What criteria would you use? What, if any, ethical issues are involved?
