given your experience do you think in the past 20 years anything has changed in our system? If so, what? If not, why have things remained the same?
Savage Inequalities: Children in Americas Schoolsis a book written byJonathan Kozolin 1991 that discusses the disparities in education between schools of different classes and races. It is based on his observations of various classrooms in thepublic schoolsystems ofEast St. Louis,Chicago,New York City,Camden,Cincinnati, andWashington D.C.. His observations take place in both schools with the lowest per capita spending on students and the highest, ranging from just over $3,000 inCamden,New Jerseyto a maximum expenditure of up to $15,000 inGreat Neck,Long Island.In his visits to these areas, Kozol illustrates the overcrowded, unsanitary and often understaffed environment that is lacking in basic tools and textbooks for teaching. He cites the large proportions of minorities in the areas with the lowest annual budgets, despite the higher taxation rate on individuals living in poverty within the school district.Retrieved from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Savage_Inequalities&oldid=601088529(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.DirectionsYou will read an excerpt from Savage Inequalities.

Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma?
Dr. Eduardo Romaro, a clinically trained forensic psychologist, was retained by the prosecution to evaluate the intellectual competence of John Stone, a 50-year-old man convicted of first-degree murder of a guard during a bank robbery. John had claimed he was innocent throughout the trial. In the state in which the trial was conducted, individuals convicted of such an offense face the death penalty. Johns attorney challenged the death penalty option for his client, claiming that the defendant is intellectually disabled. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Atkins v. Virginia(2002) that the execution of those with intellectual disability (formerly known as mental retardation) is unconstitutional. Dr. Romaro had worked with the prosecution before on intellectual disability cases, but this is the first time he had been retained for a capital punishment case. He is personally ambivalent about whether states should implement the death penalty.The psychologist meets John in a private room in the prison and administers a battery of intellectual and adaptive behavior tests with proven psychometric validity for determining forensically relevant intellectual ability. Just as he ends the formal test administration, John becomes distraught and appears to be experiencing an anxiety attack. In his distress the psychologist hears the prisoner repeatedly asking God for forgiveness for killing the guard and for murdering another person, who he keeps calling the boy waiting for the bus. The psychologist shifts into an emergency crisis intervention mode to help calm the defendant and rings for assistance.Dr. Romaro was shocked to hear John confess not only to the bank murder but also to the murder of a boy waiting for a bus.The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition(DSM-IV-TR) diagnosis of intellectual disability (currently termed mental retardation developmental disability) requires that individuals demonstrate significantly sub-average intellectual functioning, impairments in adaptive functioning, and onset before 18 years of age. Similarly, the state standard for intellectual disability includes a developmental history of intellectual impairment. Prior to testing, Dr. Romaro had asked the prosecutor for all available childhood mental health or school records to determine if John meets these criteria. No formal educational or psychological evaluations were included in the materials he received. The records indicated that John had a poor academic record, was retained in fifth grade, was suspended several times for coming to school drunk, and had left school when he was 15. State criteria also include an IQ score less than 70 and poor adaptive skills.That evening Dr. Romaro scores the test battery. Johns IQ score is 71, his performance on other cognitive tests fell close to the intellectual disability cutoff score (some above, some below). His adaptive functioning score is a standard deviation below average. However, given the prisoners age, without a more detailed set of childhood records, it is difficult to clearly conclude that he meets the DSM-IV-TRor state legal criteria for intellectual disability. Dr. Romaro had not been asked to administer assessments for mood, schizophrenia, or other psychotic disorders that might impair intellectual and adaptive performance.Ethical DilemmaDr. Romaro is not sure what forensic opinion to give regarding whether or notJohn meets the legal criteria for intellectual disability. Without evidence of intellectual disability in his youth, a diagnosis of intellectual disability may not be possible and, thus, could not be used to support Johns death penalty appeal. He is also unsure whether he has an ethical responsibility to include in his report Johns confession or Johns statement about the boy waiting for a bus.Respond to the following questions in 1,250 to 1,500 words.Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma?How might Dr. Romaros ambivalence toward the death penalty influence his decision to offer a forensic diagnosis of intellectual disability? How might Johns confession or his comment about the boy waiting for the bus influence the decision? To what extent should these factors play a role in Dr. Romaros report?How are APA Ethical Standards 2.0f, 3.06, 4.04, 4.05, 5.01, 9.01a and 9.06 relevant to this case? Which other standards might apply?What steps should Dr. Romaro take to ethically implement his decision and monitor its effect?ReferenceFisher, C. B. (2013).

What did you think of the 1966 anti-pill article? What connections do you see between what was said here and current discussions of sexuality and reproduction?
It might seem strange to you, but the invention of the birth control pill affected sexual relations, dating, marriage, and reproduction in the United States in revolutionary ways. In fact, in 2010, Time magazine named it the most important invention of the 20th century. I would like for you to explore this invention as a powerful mechanism of social change.Margaret Sanger is credited with the invention of the birth control pill and also the founder of Planned Parenthood. She is most often presented as a heroine and advocate for womens rights and birth control. By reading the following two sources, you will see two very different sides of her.First, view https://web.archive.org/web/20170227081207/http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/pill/peopleevents/p_sanger.html to read about her advocacy for women and work to end Comstock laws.Next, view https://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/webedition/app/documents/show.php?sangerDoc=238946.xml to read a darker look at her early work that supported eugenics and the promotion of infertility among racial minority women and the mentally retarded.
