should minorities have lower admission standards in order to racially balance college populations?

The civil rights movement and President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty in the mid-1960s launched a movement for the nation to respond by offering equal access to education, housing, and other resources (Alger et al., 2000). In June 1965, President Johnson spoke at Howard University (DC), outlining the major principles behind affirmative action (Garrison-Wade, Dorothy F., Lewis, Chance W., Affirmative Action: History and Analysis, Journal of College Admission, Summer 2004President Lyndon Johnson stated:“You do not take a man who for years has been hobbled by chains, liberate him, bring him to the starting line of a race, saying, ‘you are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe you have been completely fair… This is the next and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights. We seek not just freedom but opportunity-not legal equity but human ability-not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a result” (ECS, 1).President Johnson reinforced his speech by signing an Executive Order in late 1965 mandating government contractors to “take affirmative action” in all aspects of hiring and employing minorities (Brunner, 2002).As a result of this mandate, many colleges and professional schools started to recruit minority students as a part of their education mission. Ultimately, this led to these institutions initiating admission policies that took race into consideration. These policies increased admission for African Americans and Hispanics at predominately white institutions.Regents of University of California v. Bakke (1978) was the first case to question the legality of affirmative action policies in higher education. Allan Bakke, a white applicant, claimed he was wrongfully denied admission to medical school at the University of California to make room for less qualified minority applicants. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the establishment or use of “racial quotas” in determining admission violates the Equal Protection Clause of the fourteenth Amendment; however, institutions of higher learning can still consider race as one factor, among many, in the admission process.Over the next 25 years, affirmative action policies in higher education sparked many debates and raised many issues. Most recently, the Supreme Court ruled on the monumental decision in Grutter v. bollinger, (2003), which allowed the University of Michigan Law School to use race-based affirmative action to diversify its student body. However, in the (Gratz v. Rggewis (2003) decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the university’s undergraduate College of Literature, Science, and Arts could not use an admission process that awarded points based on an applicant’s race and ethnicity. The decisions by the Supreme Court have now changed the future of affirmative action in the undergraduate admission process, given that race and ethnicity cannot be awarded “extra” points to help admit certain applicants.So now I ask you, should minorities have lower admission standards in order to racially balance college populations? Should race and ethnic background be a consideration at all in the college admission process, or does that promote reverse discrimination? Consider the many different races affected by this.

Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.

Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.To Prepare:Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.The Assignment: (8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation)Develop a 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.Describe the board for your specific region/area.Who is on the board?How does one become a member of the board?Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?Include Speaker Notes on Each Slide (except on the title page and reference page)

What process was used to identify the genetic composition?

Reply to two prompts in 100 words each. No sites needed, these are just thoughts on the prompts.(Original prompt for you consideration,An important characteristic of a medical professional is to make sense of information and then continue to ask questions to collect additional information. You will practice this as you respond to this week’s question. For each of the following, answer the question and then describe what additional questions you might be able to investigate to gain additional information that might enhance your understanding.What is its genetic composition?What process was used to identify the genetic composition?How has this information been used to identify treatments?)Prompt 1: TheC. trachomatisgenome is substantially smaller than that of many other bacteria encoding approximately 900 genes.Several important metabolic functions are not encoded in theC. trachomatisgenome, and instead, are likely scavenged from the host cell.In addition to the chromosome that contains most of the genome, nearly allC. trachomatisstrains carry a 7.5kilobase plasmidthat contains 8 genes.The role of this plasmid is unknown, though strains without the plasmid have been isolated, suggesting it is not required for survival of the bacterium. According to our text in Chapter 10, the size of a bacterium’s genome directly relates to how much the bacterium depends on its host for survival. When a bacterium relies on the host cell to carry out certain functions, it loses the genes encoding the abilities to carry out those functions itself. From a clinical perspective, obligate intracellular pathogens also tend to have small genomes (some around Because host cells supply most of their nutrients, they tend to have a reduced number of genes encoding metabolic functions. The size of the genomes of the organism Chlamydia trachomatis is (1.0 million).Chlamydiaalternates between two morphological forms, the elementary body (EB) and the reticulate body (RB). EBs are extra-cellular, metabolically inert forms, responsible for dissemination of infection by their ability to attach to and invade susceptible cells.Prompt 2: I have been discussing Staphylococcus aureus for the last two weeks in my posts. It was first discovered in 1880 by Alexander Ogston when he noticed that clusters of bacteria were present in the pus of a surgical abscess.S. Aureus is a gram- positive round shaped bacterium that is also a facultative anaerobe, which means it doesn’t need oxygen to survive. It is found in grape-like clusters called staphylococci, which can be see when it is looked at under a microscope. S. aureus is produced by binary fission.In order to identify S. Aureus, a sample is taken and sent to a lab to undergo enzyme-based tests. A gram stain is performed and followed by a culture, done by using a salt/agar solution.As a result, yellow-colored colonies begin to form.For susceptible strains of S. Aureus penicillin is the antibiotic that is used to treat this infection. It is able to block the production of peptidoglycan connections, which make up the cell wall of this bacteria. Ultimately, this upsets the balance of cell wall formation and leads to the death of the cells. Penicillin does not work for all strains in present day.Up to 90% of strains are now penicillin resistant.

What impact has there been, if any, on the public’s perceptions and beliefs about criminal behavior and the impact on law enforcement investigations, prosecution and trials due to the use of psychological profiling?

Psychological profiling is not a new concept. It has been practiced for centuries and has been the foundation of popular fiction from Sherlock Holmes to Clarice Starling. TheSnook, Cullen, Bennell, Taylor, & Gendreau(2008) andKocsis(2003) articles outline many of the preconceptions and misperceptions surrounding the field of forensic psychology as it is used in contemporary law enforcement. Television programs such asLaw and Order,NCIS,Criminal Mindsand theMentalisthave made psychological profiling a popular pastime. While the line between fact and fiction can often be thin and tenuous, the impacts that fiction and/or misinformation can have on reality can be enormous. What impact has there been, if any, on the public’s perceptions and beliefs about criminal behavior and the impact on law enforcement investigations, prosecution and trials due to the use of psychological profiling? Are these impacts positive or negative? Provide an example from your review of a scholarly journal to support your discussion.
