“Ellis suggested that a small number of core beliefs underlie most unhelpful emotions and behaviours”.

For the assignments on our courses we are more interested in your subjective response rather than a purely academic exercise. Tell us how the course “affected you”, how you “felt” about the various case studies and scenarios presented. As you will now understand after reading the course material emotional intelligence is very important in this work rather than analytical thinking although that has a place also, so try and get a good balance between both.

Essay

 
Assignment Decription
Select one of the following three stories – “Young Goodman Brown,” “Araby,” or “The Story of an Hour” – and in a five-paragraph essay (800-1,000 words minimum) discuss how the author uses allegory to convey his/her central message (hint: Be sure to identify and define allegory in the introduction to your paper and to stay focused on this definition throughout your essay, using textual evidence to support all claims). Consult your text for a discussion of allegory. If you use quotes about allegory from the text, put in parentheses after the quote the editor’s last name and page number. For all quotes from the story, on the other hand, only the paragrath number is needed in parentheses.

The experience of discrimination

 
Imagine you are in heaven, and the angel in front of you says: “You are going to be born to the world. In America. But guess what? We give you choices. There are some groups in America that are in disadvantaged positions… for example, Blacks. So you can choose to be born White, or you can choose to be born Black with cash compensation. The cash will be deposited to your bank account when you are born.”

Question: If you choose to be born Black in America, how much compensation do you think is reasonable? The more specific the better.

Essay2

This assignment is about you choosing a topic from your previous small assignments that you are interested in and want to know more about. What you choose is up to you. The final assignment is about you using something from one the topics (Topics 1-5) and using it as a springboard for you to jump off from, taking it further and making it your own.
For those that have asked, you do not answer the topic question again in this assignment and you are certainly not to copy and paste work you submitted for the small assignments. That said, you may indicate in your introduction of your assignment for The final assignment that you selected a particular issue from one of the questions/topics discussed previously in the course for instance, social media and that you will discuss an aspect of this in your paper. For example, the advantages of social media for the delivery of nursing care in rural and remote settings. You are certainly able to draw upon the reference material that you used in the small assignments in of your assignment that deals with your chosen topic if you need to but you will need to show that you have read more broadly. Essentially, in this assignment you are to elaborate on a topic, show that have done further work and not have simply regurgitated what you did in the small assignments. I hope this helps clarify.

Accountability – NSW Police

 

“With great power comes great responsibility” (Voltaire, 1832)

As a police office, you are required to do the right thing in order to meet both the public and NSWPF expectations. Discuss how you will ensure that your actions or inactions as a police officer meet these expectations ethically, professionally and accountably.
Your discussion must include reference to appropriate legislation and policies. You must refer to at least 3 academic articles to support your work. Your assignment must NOT be a summary of previous ethics subject material, the Statement of Values or Code of Conduct and Ethics. You may use short police related examples to support your work, but it must primarily be an academic discussion.
Rationale
In completing assessment item two, the student should be able to demonstrate the ability to:
o discuss what it means to be accountable as a police officer;
o utilise the NSW Police Intranet to locate various police policies relating to ethical considerations;
o critique a number of ethical considerations that ought to inform their professional practice;
o apply specific items of legislation and/or police policy to ethical issues
o overcome problems and make decisions in a policing context whilst remaining accountable on individual and organisational levels.
