discuss what other groups, individuals, and organizations (possibly including state and local government) should be doing within society to address the policy issues
For this Discussion, interact in a free-flowing discussion of the biblical and constitutional parameters for the particular policy focus being discussed this module. In other words, you must discuss the “May” portion of the “May-Can-Should” approach to policy analysis and implementation. Remember to provide thoughts on what government should or should not do from a biblical and constitutional perspective. Also discuss what other groups, individuals, and organizations (possibly including state and local government) should be doing within society to address the policy issues
OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Discussion is to begin to analyze and formulate the “May” of governmental
authority to enact policy from a Biblical worldview and Constitutional foundations.
INSTRUCTIONS
For this Discussion, you will interact in a free-flowing discussion of the biblical and constitutional parameters for the policy focus of federal social justice policy. The thread should
be short and succinct (3-5 sentences at most per topic) and should encourage greater interaction
with your classmates. Thus, you are to post according to the following guidelines:
Biblical: One separate paragraph (3-5 sentences) applying the Biblical principles (section
one of the Synthesis Paper Assignment) such as natural law, inalienable rights, sphere
sovereignty/covenant, the Sin/Crime distinction and the institutional separation of Church
and State to a specific policy. Please remember that simply citing scripture does not
constitute a Biblical worldview analysis. You must apply the Biblical principles as
discussed in the course.
Constitutional: One separate paragraph (3-5 sentences) referencing the enumerated
powers, Articles and Amendments from the Constitution which are relevant to the
assigned policy area. NOTE: Avoid the use of the General Welfare Clause as a
justification for the legislation unless you can definitively demonstrate that the entire U.S.
population will benefit from the legislation, or provide significant Supreme Court rulings
to support the use of the clause.
There must be two separate paragraphs. Both paragraphs must focus on the general
policy area for the assigned module. For instance, when the course module focuses on
criminal justice, the Biblical post must focus on what the Bible says about what
government may or may not do in fighting crime. Likewise, the Constitutional post must
focus on what the Constitution says about what government may or may not do in
fighting crime. Specific examples should be used and cited.
You must use the following sources:
1. the Bible,
2. relevant presentations and articles from Modules/Weeks 1–2 which focus on biblical and
constitutional ideas, including the “Biblical Principles of Government” article,
3. the required reading from the assigned module/week, and
4. any additional relevant sources that you would like to use.
Considering your findings, which proposals should you make?

Amazon has opened its first store in Seattle 2018 : It’s called Amazon Go and the unique aspect is that once you place items in your cart or bag, you don’t need to stop at the register. No, it’s not some sort of charitable supermarket, but rather a new type of store run by artificial intelligence, which recognizes individuals and deducts the amount owed for their purchases directly from their account credit. The AI (artificial intelligence) that controls the Amazon Go environment follows each customer, noting each item taken and any that may be put back, so no errors are made and there are no charges for products not brought home. With an always-updated list, the assistant keeps track of the customer until they exit the store, deducting the total amount from their account.
This new model is generating a controversial discussion about the current and future models of Retail Management and Merchandising. To explore it in detail, discuss the following questions from a critical point of view using the theoretical support used in class and official sources.
1-Explains the impact that the use of these new technologies generates in the development and implementation of the Amazon Go Merchandising Plan. Discuss from a critical point of view the advantages and disadvantages of this model with respect to the traditional model. (40 points)
2-The AI and a modern electronic point of sale system have been installed in Amazon Go stores. What are the key benefits to Amazon as a retailer of installing AI and modern electronic point-of-sale systems and linking them up to stock control, management, re-ordering and promotion activity? (40 points)
4-Imagin that Amazon Go include to open a discount shoes section store because it can buy a shipment of men’s shoes at $10 each. You know that Amazon Go price policy wants a 30 percent markup at retail. What retail price should the new discount store charge to achieve this markup? (20 points)

What are the potential side effects of a particular drug?
Special Considerations Related to Prescribing for Children and Adolescents
Psychotropic drugs are commonly used for children and adolescents to treat mental health disorders, yet many of these drugs are not FDA approved for use in these populations. Thus, their use is considered “off-label,” and it is often up to the best judgment of the prescribing clinician. As a PMHNP, you will need to apply the best available information and research on pharmacological treatments for children in order to safely and effectively treat child and adolescent patients. What psychotherapeutic approach might be indicated as an initial treatment? What are the potential side effects of a particular drug?
For this Assignment, you consider these questions and others as you explore FDA-approved (“on label”) pharmacological treatments, non-FDA-approved (“off-label”) pharmacological treatments, and nonpharmacological treatments for disorders in children and adolescents.
To Prepare
· Research Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder in children and adolescents
for this Assignment.
· Use the Walden library to research evidence-based treatments for your assigned disorder in children and adolescents. You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating this disorder in children and adolescents.
The Assignment (3 pages)
· Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating -Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder in children and adolescents.
· Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?
· Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder and, if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.
· Support your reasoning with at least three scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a non-medication intervention for the disorder. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
Evaluate similarities and differences between music in the Classical era and rock/pop music.
Choose an excerpt from two concerts, one of a pop or rock concert of your choice and one of a performance of music from the Classical Era (1750-1800 AD) chosen from the list below. Watch approximately 10 minutes of each concert. (Please note: The Rock or pop concert you choose should be one you watch while this section of the course is in session, rather than a performance you watched or attended prior to the class.)
After viewing the concert excerpts, construct a comparison of these two concerts and address the following:
1. Explain why you did or did not enjoy the concerts.
2. Evaluate similarities and differences between music in the Classical era and rock/pop music. Be sure to reference specific musical attributes of the concerts, and use musical terminology and information from the course materials to express your ideas.
3. Discuss the types of people who attended concerts in the Classical era and those who attend rock or pop concerts today, and why people attended concerts in the Classical era versus today. (Be certain to use specific information from scholarly sources to support your points about concerts during the Classical era.)
4. Analyze how new technologies, such as digital media and the internet, change the ways music is experienced.
what is the Constitutional authority for the federal government to get involved?
Social Justice Policy Brief Assignment Instructions
Overview
The purpose of this assignment is to apply the May, Can, Should model through analysis of a specific social justice policy. An effective tool for finding this legislation is through www.govtrack.us and the cost of the legislation through the Congressional Budget Office at www.cbo.gov.
Instructions
For the analysis paper, this is best done in the following manner:
May
Application of the Biblical principles – when discussing the topic of the week, make sure to apply the Biblical principles discussed in question 1 of the Synthesis paper to the specific policy that you’re discussing. How does it meet natural law, inalienable rights, federalism, etc.?
Constitutional authority – what is the Constitutional authority for the federal government to get involved? Avoid the use of the General Welfare clause as it becomes a catch-all for anything that a politician wants to get passed.
Can
Political feasibility – what is the likelihood that the policy will become law? What is the political and social support for the policy?
Financial feasibility – what is the policy expected to do to the national debt or spending? For example, the new COVID stimulus just put us another $2 trillion in debt but was widely supported by both politicians and the public.
Practical feasibility – what are the logistical resources needed for implementation (buildings, personnel, new programs, etc.) and what are the steps for implementation (ex; the Affordable Care Act needed functional websites in order to be implemented, the lack of these created severe problems with implementation).
Should
Relate this back to specific Biblical and Constitutional authorities and discuss whether or not the policy should be supported based on this and the feasibility of implementation.
The goal of this is to critically analyze a social justice policy to objectively determine if the federal government should be legitimately involved in the policy being discussed and if the policy is right for the country.
You are expected to submit a 1 1/2–2-page paper (not including the title page, abstract, and reference page) in current APA format in which the May-Can-Should model is applied in the context of the policy focus. Be certain to emphasize a focused analysis of a particular federal policy (either already implemented or proposed) chosen from the policy concentration area for the assigned module. You must include citations from:
- all of the required reading and presentations from the assigned module/week
- all relevant sources from Modules/Weeks 1–2 (you MUST use the “Biblical Principles of Government” article), and
- 3–5 outside sources. NOTE: These sources should be focused on the problem and the piece of legislation, and you may find that you need more than just 3-5 sources to adequately research and discuss these items.
- Please feel free to use the link provided in the assignment resources for the purposes of additional research.
Please ensure that you review and follow the provided Policy Brief Template found in the assignment resources.
Why do innocent people confess to crimes they did not commit?
1) The Supreme Court Cases in Chapter 4 discuss the scope of the exclusionary rule and the extent to whether evidence obtained from illegal searches, seizures, or arrests should be excluded as “fruit of the poisonous tree.” Pick two (2) cases from Chapter 4 and discuss them and be sure to include the following: What were the facts behind the illegal search, seizure or arrest? What constitutional amendment was violated? Did the Court agree to the exclusion of the evidence obtained from the illegal search? What was the Court’s rationale? Please remember to cite to the Court case and specify on what pages you find this information.
2) Why do innocent people confess to crimes they did not commit? You must cite to at least 3 reasons, with specific cites from the cases in Chapter 6 of our text, Police Interrogation and Confessions. This will require you to read through the text carefully and cite to specific page numbers. No credit will be given for a reason that does not have a specific cite immediately following it. Further, please discuss the impact of false confessions and ways to reduce false confessions.
