Instructions for this Assignment
Purpose: 
The purpose of this assignment is to apply concepts learned in Rushworth Kidder’s reading on right vs. right dilemmas to your own personal ethical dilemma.
Materials: All Module 1 Materials
Tasks:
Part 1:
Rushworth Kidder talks about genuine ethical dilemmas as tough choices in which individuals face right vs. right situations (as opposed to right vs. wrong situations). He goes on to argue that most ethical dilemmas fit one of four possible patterns identified in Ch. 1 by Rushworth Kidder. Describe a personal example of a ‘right vs. right’ ethical dilemma you have faced in the past. Answer the questions in the following order. All answers must be in complete sentences.

Describe the right vs. right ethical dilemma you faced. 
Which type of right vs. right dilemma is this based on Kidder’s reading?  Explain why. (Truth vs. Loyalty, Individual vs. Community, Short term vs. Long term, or Justice vs. Mercy [another way to describe mercy is compassion])
What were the moral considerations behind the choices you were faced with? (This includes reviewing all of the facts and identifying all moral dilemmas for all parties involved).
What was the outcome of your ethical dilemma? In other words, what did you do?
What was the reasoning behind your choice? 

Part 2:
Consider the following dilemma: You are a police officer patrolling late at night and see a car weaving back and forth across lanes of traffic. You easily suspect either DUI or some form of distracted driving so you turn on your siren and lights and the car pulls over. Before you approach the car, the driver stumbles out of the car, obviously intoxicated. There is no question that the driver meets the legal definition of intoxication. The driver also happens to be your favorite person (e.g. mother, father, sibling, cousin, best friend, grandma, grandpa, coach, teacher, etc.). 
Imagine the same scenario and the person is a complete stranger. What would you do and why?
(We will revisit this same scenario in Module 2 once we have covered ethical systems).

Explain the process of evidence-based analysis. Highlight the major players and their roles in EBM policy

  
 
Evidence-based medicine (EBM), previously translational medicine, can be defined as improving care based on empirical research and/or hands-on practice. The EBM’s approach is based on either direct patient care (bottom-up) or an experiment translated into guidelines (top-down). EBM is used in either in conjunction or as quality assessment tool(s) for continuous quality improvement (CQI). The healthcare leader must utilize the evidence to promote healthcare quality.

Explain the process of evidence-based analysis.
Highlight the major players and their roles in EBM policy (i.e., government, providers, patients, etc.).
Explain the EBM “Levels of Evidence” as defined in your course text.
Review the case “Constraints of the ACA on Evidence-Based Medicine.”
Provide a written analysis of the case “Constraints of the ACA on Evidence-Based Medicine” in Chapter 9 of your textbook. (Utilize the “Levels of Evidence and Grades of Recommendations” as defined by the University of Minnesota) Clearinghouse.
Summarize the policy of EBM in your conclusion.

Describe the different types of ethical violations that can occur when excessive use of force occurs.

  
The use of force by law enforcement officers is sometimes required when dealing with suspects resisting arrest and/or individuals disobeying direct orders. However, when the use of force becomes excessive or is used unnecessarily, law enforcement officers are arguably engaging in ethical, and in many cases, criminal offenses.

1. Describe the different types of ethical violations that can occur when excessive use of force occurs.
2. What policies can law enforcement administrators implement to minimize officers unnecessarily using excessive use of force without impeding the discretion necessary for officers to effectively carry out their duties.

Why do you think Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism proved to be more resistant to radical rationalism than Reformed Protestantism?   

 
See pages 220 to 221 of the McGrath textbook on the rise of Enlightenment in Western Europe, especially in Protestant areas, especially in Calvinist areas. At the same time, Enlightenment did not seem to flourish in areas of Roman Catholic Europe, and it goes without saying that the Enlightenment did not arise in Eastern Orthodox realms. 
why you think Calvinist Protestantism had a greater affinity with the so-called ‘Age of Reason’ of the Enlightenment. Why do you think Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism proved to be more resistant to radical rationalism than Reformed Protestantism?   

Give a brief review or summary of the growth of the Enlightenment perspective in predominantly Protestant areas of Europe, from chapter 4, pp. 220 and 221.
Give your own reaction to the idea that the Enlightenment took root and grew in primarily Calvinist areas.
Do you think that this might indicate that certain types of Protestantism over-emphasized rationalism to the exclusion of mystery and revelation?

Research on a particular type of cancer and explain Which part of the body is affected? What are some warning signs? Are there any treatments?

For your initial post, please visit the American Cancer Society homepage. On the home page, click on “Cancer A-Z”. There is a list of numerous types of cancers.
Research the particular type of cancer you chose being sure to address the following questions: Which part of the body is affected? What are some warning signs? Are there any treatments? Approximately how many people are affected with this type of cancer? Are certain people more at risk than others? Is it more prevalent in certain areas of the world?
In addition, what are your thoughts about cancer in general? Does it seem that there are more cases of it in today’s society? If so, why might this be the case? Do you think human-made or natural compounds are more responsible for causing cancers? Do you have any personal experience of knowing someone with cancer? Would you like to share your personal experiences with cancer?
