Comments Off on Coyolxauhqui: The Healing Journey of a Chicana Lesbian Deaf I am hosting webinar series about my thesis research. I’ve attached my thesis and a document for you to fill out to summarize, develop talking points and discussion questions that will help me to prepare my speech through Zoom via online. Each series will last an hour… 30 minutes of my presentation and 30 minutes of discussion. Please be sure to include stories as an example, so that will help me to elaborate during the webinar.
1. I think that formal education can promote dominant or counter narratives depending on how it’s taught and by whom. I think the problem lies with who is deciding what we learn and how we learn it.
2. I think education should be liberating students (and teachers, honestly), and helping them learn counter narratives so that they can be prepared for a world full of dominant narratives. Education should equip students with the tools and skills necessary to create a more equitable world.

Write up a policy analysis on the current situation, identify existing challenges, and provide solutions or suggestions to improve the practices in intergovernmental relations. The policy report may analyze an actual situation or even discuss the hypothetical situation (if you cannot find a relevant case or data). The objective of this assignment is to offer an opportunity for students to connect the knowledge they obtained from the lecture with empirical cases and practices in the public arena (even at a hypothetical level). This assignment intends to raise the analytical capability of students to assess the situation from a political, economic, and societal perspective. Students are required to identify empirical data and case for their policy analysis paper. Students will have to clarify how the selected cases and data contribute to addressing specific public policy issues and problems from an inter-governmental relation point of view. Students may choose to address a specific grant program, public policy, or regulation. The public policy issue can be local, state, or federal government levels. The case can be either a U.S. case or an international case from a comparative perspective.
This assignment is composed of the following two sub-sections:
In the first sub-section, students will have to examine the connection between selected public policy topic and the themes covered during this PA 3110 Inter-governmental Relations Course. In examining the public policy case, students may focus on the main features, aspects, or structure of inter-governmental relations (e.g. federalism, constitutions, finance, the relationship of executive-legislative-judicial branches, criminal justice, metropolitics). (A length of the first sub-section is maximum 500 words)
In the second sub-section, students will have to summarize the findings from the previous analysis section and generate implications. (A length of the second sub-section is maximum 250 words)

Analyze the current situation on the selected public policy, and identify existing challenges or social problems. What kinds of challenges are public policy makers and main stakeholders facing? In order to be able to answer this question, break down internal actors and external stakeholders of the public policy first.
After the breakdown, identify major tasks and challenges by these identified actors and stakeholders. Your submision shoudl be no longer than 750 words

B: Complex: An understanding of the topic requires utilization of your analytical skills.
C. Synthesize: What are my supporting ideas but opposing opinions
For example:
A. Accessible: Greek gods (Greek Mythology, inspired by readings on chapter 3)
B. Complex: How does Greek Mythology affect 21st America.
C. Synthesize: Greek Mythology plays a major role in the US economy i.e. through the comic book genre and accompanying movies, and through business marketing concepts such as Nike, etc. but some would argue that it has less do with Greek Mythology and more to do with modern marketing and technological innovation.
Tentative Thesis: Greek Mythology continues to impact diverse sectors of the United States economy, specifically through movies, inspiration of marketing concepts and the proliferation of religious pluralism, with minor or insignificant impact from the current technological innovations of the 21sat century.

In the readings, you will discover unique ethical concerns you may encounter working in a smaller community. You will explore the effects of obtaining personal benefits from your work with clients. This can be more likely to occur in smaller communities and can cause additional ethical issues to be aware of.
n addition, you will discover what to do when faced with unavoidable and unanticipated circumstances in working with clients, especially when living in a small community, and how best to address these issues.

PART 1- 350 WORDS MINIMUM
It is essential to be aware of potential ethical problems that may arise in practice. Without such awareness, a human service professional can stumble inadvertently into a problematic situation from which it can be difficult to extricate themselves. Your discussion will focus on developing and enhancing your awareness in this area.
CREATE A SCENARIO WHERE A HUMAN SERVICE PROFESSIONAL WHO WORKS IN A SMALL COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES AN ETHICAL DILEMMA.
Please respond to the following:
1. Describe your scenario and identify each of the problematic decisions made by the practitioner involved.
2. Use one of the decision-making models (e.g., multi-perspectival model decision-making model process) in Letourneaus (2016) article to resolve the dilemma.
3. Create a plan of action for how to manage the situation from this point on.
4. Research similar disciplinary scenarios in your FLORIDA and discuss how they were addressed by the regulatory board. If no such violations occurred in FLORIDA, you may use one from a nearby state.
PART 2

The Trolley Problem is a famous hypothetical ethical dilemma often referred to as a thought experiment. This moral paradox was first posed by Phillipa Foot in 1967. Far from solving the dilemma, the trolley problem launched a wave of further investigation into the philosophical quandary it raises. And it’s still being debated today.
View the following YouTube videos regarding trolley dilemmas:
Trolley Car Dilemma – Harvard’s Michael Sandel (14:59) – In this video, Havard professor Micahel Sandel discusses the classic Trolley Dilemma and its various versions to an ethics class. As you view the video, reflect on the scenario presented to you in the module overview.
The Trolley Problem and Ethics of Driver-less Cars (5:07) – While the various Trolley Dilemmas represent hypothetical (and thus somewhat unrealistic) situations, this video depicts a modern, real-world example of the application of the same kinds of dilemmas and decisions.
Proceed to the “Questions to Address” section before continuing to the next page.
After watching the video(s), address the following questions:
How would you respond to each of the five variants of the Trolley Problem described? Be thorough and justify your reasoning. For each scenario, think about whether or not the answers to the following two questions differ: What is the right thing to do, and what would you do? In each of these cases 1-4, the result will be the death of one person and saving the lives of five people.
Variants of the Trolly Problem
Original problem – you are the trolley driver; the decision is to pull switch or not.
Fat man variant – you are an observer on a bridge; the decision is to push fat man or not.
Fat man/villain variant – you are an observer on a bridge; the decision is to push fat man or not; fat man is the villain who put the five people in danger on the tracks.
Loved one variant – you are the trolley driver; the decision is to pull the switch or not; the one person that would die if you pull the switch is a dear loved one of yours (parent, child, spouse, etc.)
Man sleeping in his yard variant – you can divert trolley’s path by colliding another trolley into it, but if you do, both will be derailed and go down a hill, and into a yard where a man is sleeping in a hammock. He would be killed.
Important Note
You cannot add any elements to change the situation – i.e., you cannot rush in and untie the people from the track, etc. You must make a choice between only the options given.
What if instead of killing one person to save five, your action would result in killing four people to save five? Would you change your behavior in any of the situations? Why or why not?
Transplant variant – This version addresses some of the same core issues as the Trolley Problem but with the following scenario: A brilliant transplant surgeon has five patients, each in need of a different organ, each of whom will die without that organ. Unfortunately, there are no organs available to perform any of these five transplant operations. A healthy young traveler, just passing through the city the doctor works in, comes in for a routine checkup. In the course of doing the checkup, the doctor discovers that his organs are compatible with all five of his dying patients. Suppose that if the young man were to disappear, no one would suspect the doctor. Should the doctor to kill that tourist and provide his healthy organs to those five dying persons to save their lives? How is this the scenario the same, and how does it differ from the Trolley Problem?
