 In this section, you have studied several ethical arguments the purpose of which is to both say what is right or good and to justify the reward and punishment for human actions. Below is a case history that I would like for you to consider: Jane is a 17-year-old woman who, about a year ago, presented to the ER of a major New York hospital with symptoms consistent with a neurological problem. She was referred to the neurology department and upon testing was shown to have a condition called neurofibromatosis. Because this is a genetic condition for which there is no cure-all that could be done was to operate to remove the benign tumor from here auditory pathways. This meant, however, that she lost all hearing.The operation was successful and she was discharged for OP follow-up but within about one year she was discovered to have a new tumor growth along her visual pathway. The surgeon recommended a second operation to remove the tumor (without surgical intervention the tumor will grow to the point where brain tissue is destroyed), but Jane was reluctant to have this done. She argued that since the disease is progressive and terminal in any event that she would like to live for the rest of her life with vision. Because the doctor believed that while she might experience some reduction in quality of life she should have to operation because it would prolong her life by several years, maybe even a decade.Take a position about what should be done and present an argument using one or more of the ethical arguments we covered so far. Offer a defense of your position use reasons and give a personal observation as to why you think your action will be productive of the best outcome.   instructions:  the minimum word count for these essays is 800. When you submit them please be sure to use the campus HTML link (associated with each paper assignment), feature to deliver the paper Please do not email them to me. The deadline for the submission of these papers is the last day of the regularly scheduled class. The purpose of these papers is to focus on one argument or theory. The goal is not to do research (looking up stuff in the library) but to focus your thoughts on one argument or one position and dig deep. Your grade on these papers will be primarily based on the clarity of your writing, the command of the material and the “depth” of your explanations. (Which side of the issue you are on is completely irrelevant). You should also briefly explain the effect this assignment has had on your view of the subject.(i.e., has the assignment strengthened your initial position, or has it been altered as a result of doing the assignment, and explain how. You will also be graded according to your ability to create an informed personal response to a philosophical problem by writing an essay in which you develop and defend your personal response to a selected philosophical problem.  For more information on ER read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_room

Capstone: Ethics Training Presentation For the critical assignment, you will take the role of a human services senior employee who must create a PowerPoint presentation that could be presented to other employees at your workplace at an Ethics Training Seminar. In consultation with the Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals, you will create a creative and engaging PowerPoint presentation. Your presentation should include the following: Select 4 ethical topics that you believe are most relevant to the day-to-day operations for human services professional and present those to your audience. Be sure to describe the ethical standard and give a thorough rationale for the purpose of the standard and why a human services employee is required to fulfill the standard. Remember to write about these standards as a senior employee communicating to new employees who need to learn this information in order to conduct themselves appropriately in their role. You must incorporate one brief written vignette (original work, written by you) of a workplace situation involving at least 2 ethical problems. The purpose of this vignette is to serve as a group discussion activity for the training seminar. Therefore, following the introduction of the vignette you should have one or more slides that discuss the ethical problems highlighted in the vignette and the potential solutions or actions to take in resolving the hypothetical scenario. The presentation should conclude with at least 3 recommendations for the new employees about practical steps they can take or suggestions you have to help increase the likelihood of conducting themselves in an ethical manner. These recommendations can be related to one-time actions or ongoing practices that an employee could implement for the purpose of practicing ethically. On the final slide(s), please discuss how you might approach these topics similarly or differently if you were working in an explicitly Christian organization. Would there be any biblical references (stories, verses, parables) that you would integrate into the presentation that could help make a strong case for the value of Christian, ethical behavior?  The presentation should include at least 3 academic references (one reference can be your textbook). The presentation should be a minimum of 12 slides of text, plus the title slide and reference slide. The presentation should be creative and engaging, as you would want if you were actually leading the seminar. Please be sure to cite your sources on each slide throughout the presentation for any content that you borrow from journal articles or books.  For more information on Ethics Training read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics
