Not so long ago, President Trump was considering shutting down the US border with Mexico.  This was in response to an increased number of immigrants flooding the border from Central America.  Although this would certainly stop people from coming across, this would also stop any commercial traffic and trade from Mexico.  The US and Mexico would both suffer significant losses of revenue if this occurred. Closing the entire U.S. border with Mexico would also put the brakes on more than $1.6 billion worth of goods that cross back and forth every day, including 50 million pounds of fresh Mexican produce that now fills 100 warehouses in Nogales, Ariz. “We don’t just trade with each other. We’re making things together,” said Kristin Dziczek, vice president of the Center for Automotive Research in Michigan. “Mexico is a source of 37 percent of all imported auto parts to the U.S. Every vehicle has Mexican parts in it” (Horsley, 2019).  People who were visiting family across the border could possibly be trapped on one side or the other.  Legal immigration would also have to be halted.  Our relationship with the country of Mexico would be damaged severely (even more so than it is now).  Many people in the government have suggested that a better solution to the problem of immigration would be to expand facilities at larger checkpoints and hire many more judges to deal with the legal issues.  Illegal immigration is definitely a problem, but there are solutions that are humane and are in keeping with our values as a nation of immigrants.

Process Analysis:

Issue Identification:  Because of the increasing instances of active shooters, terrorists and more frequent and intense natural disasters, hospitals must prepare for these situations ahead of time to be more effective and to mitigate casualties when the situations arise.  

Mitigation Strategy:  Many major hospitals around the country are participating in disaster drills where the staff simulates a disaster.  This allows for training exercises in areas like triage, transport, communication, evacuation, and other emergency response protocols.  The existing evidence suggests that hospital disaster drills are effective in allowing hospital employees to become familiar with disaster procedures, identify problems in different components of response (e.g., incident command, communications, triage, patient flow, materials and resources, and security) and provide the opportunity to apply lessons learned to disaster response. The strength of evidence on other training methods is insufficient to draw valid recommendations (Hsu et. al., 2004). It is also important to involve the local police and fire departments so that all agencies can work as a team when major problems arise.  Communication between these entities is very important to quicken response times and efficiency in delivering services to the public.

Cost Analysis:  Although these training drills can cost the hospitals and other agencies time and money, being prepared for major disasters will, in the long run, actually save money and, most importantly, people’s lives.  For example, cities that are affected by flooding, if they prepare by fortifying levees and flow diversion, will suffer less damage and loss of life.

Homework

Part I: Identify “three” “specific” research topics and examine their viability as a capstone project or paper. Be comprehensive and detailed.

The capstone study program does not require primary research although it is an option (pending your faculty advisors approval). In the case of primary research with human subjects which is to be published, the APUS/AMU Institutional Review Board (IRB) located at:

IRB must approve your research plan prior to beginning any such research. As the Capstone is only four months in length, this option is highly discouraged. Four months is not truly commensurate with primary research for publication which traditionally requires a longer period of time for a successful study.
Part II: Considering your three prospective research topics, “thoroughly” discuss a preliminary research plan that would be necessary to complete a strong project/paper that comprehensively incorporates appropriate academic and other legitimate sources. NOTE: Separate your answers into “two” distinct parts (but “one” post) and always first repeat the question(s) prior to answering. 

Instructions: Fully utilize the materials that have been provided to you in order to support your response. Your initial post should be at least 350 words. Please respond to at least two other students. Responses should be a minimum of 150 words and include direct questions. You may challenge, support or supplement another students answer using the terms, concepts and theories from the required readings. Also, do not be afraid to respectfully disagree where you feel appropriate; as this should be part of your analysis process at this academic level.

Procreative

  

PCE Procreative Technology

The desire to have children at an appropriate time is very important to us as Christians. As technology has aided in this process, it has also introduced a number of ethical quagmires. This section must include the following:

1. A statement concerning a general view of procreative technology in light of the moral objections often raised (see reading).

2. An affirmation of the moral safeguards necessary to limit technology (what standards or limitations are necessary)

3. Your position on birth control in general and the particular methods you consider acceptable and unacceptable.

4. Your view on artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and surrogacy parenting.

Embryo Project Encyclopedia)

  

Response Paper 4: by Nathalie Antonios and Christina Raup (Embryo Project Encyclopedia)

Read the case summary and address the following questions:

1. What 2 principles are in conflict in this case? Support your answer.

2. What are some red flags you see in how the trial came about and the persons involved?

3. Do you think forced sterilization of those deemed genetically inferior is an appropriate way to deal with the disease?

Questions to consider:

1. How much do you think the decision to treat Carrie as feebleminded was based on a moral evaluation of her unwed pregnancy (and her mothers moral background)? Do you think this raises questions about the other 60,000 institutionalized patients who were sterilized between 1927 and 1974?

2. The court argued that forced sterilization as necessary for the public good was similar to forced vaccination. Do you think that argument is successful? In what ways are forced sterilization and forced vaccination analogous and disanalogous?
