Fundamental Rights

In the textbook, Straus defines human rights as a “set of rights afforded to individuals on the basis of being human, i.e., irrespective of national citizenship, gender, ethnicity, or other traits” (1). We see, however, that despite the international system of defining and guaranteeing human rights known as the human rights regime, not every individual or government has the same concept of human rights. For this assignment, you will explore national and international policy responses to a human rights issue.

Based on Amnesty InternationalLinks to an external site., Human Rights WatchLinks to an external site., the UN human rights-related organizations (UNHCRLinks to an external site., United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human RightsLinks to an external site.), or another source that you verify with your instructor, choose a human rights policy issue.

Fundamental Rights

Define the issue as a human rights issue according to concepts of human rights. Describe its causes, implications, and locations. Use the following questions to help you frame your explanation:

In what ways has a policy caused human rights violations or been enacted because of human rights violations?

Can you recognize conflicts around human rights policy that stem from divergent understandings of human rights, within a country, between countries, or between a country and an intergovernmental or non-governmental organization?

Consider the history, religion, and culture of the country where the issue is taking place in your examination of the human rights policy issue.

Identify the stakeholders and explain how this issue has an impact on them. Provide references to support the information.

Fundamental Rights

Describe recent and current efforts aimed at solving the human rights issue, including efforts by NGOs, national governments, and IGOs. Provide supporting references.

Based on your analysis of the human rights issue and the policies you have described, provide your opinion on which policy would be appropriate. This can be one of the policies already in place or your suggestion. Support your opinion with references to appropriate resources.

Use four (two government and two peer-reviewed, scholarly) sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides. For this assignment, government resources may include resources from an NGO. Use APA referencing style.

Public Administration Ethics

Public Administration Ethics

Ethical Challenges in the City Manager/City Councilmember Relationship

These scenarios were developed by Frank Benest, senior advisor to the International City/County Management Association,and delivered to a meeting of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics Public Sector Roundtable April 20, 2012. Select one (1) of the three scenarios.

Scenario 1

A developer is proposing a major commercial development with of lots of name recognition. The mayor suggests that the council appoint her and another councilmember to a committee in order to negotiate a package of community benefits as part of the entitlement process. The city manager and city attorney are upset that staff have not been designated as the negotiators so the mayor suggests to the council that the manager, attorney and community development director attend the meetings with the developer, but the mayor and the other councilmember will take the lead.

In the negotiations, both councilmembers push similar community benefits, but the mayor and councilmember clearly have a few different priorities. The negotiations seem to drag on, but finally the developer puts together a package of benefits generally supported by the two councilmembers. At the direction of the council negotiating committee, the city manager then schedules the project and the community benefits package for an upcoming council agenda.

Public Administration Ethics

Just prior to the public hearing in front of the council, the mayor goes privately to the developer and tells him that the mayor won’t the support the project unless the developer adds to the package a pedestrian and bike trail segment that completes the community’s neighborhood trails program. The developer agrees to fund the trails segment, and the mayor indicates that she will publicly support the project at the hearing.

Scenario 2

A councilmember is actively supported by open space advocates in the region. The councilmember approaches a baylands protection, non-profit advocacy group and proposes a baylands public education program for children that could be funded by the city government and operated by the agency. After meeting with the president and executive director of the non-profit, the councilmember approaches the city’s sustainability coordinator and encourages the staff person to develop a proposal to fund the project.

The sustainability coordinator refers the councilmember to the city manager. The councilmember then meets with the city manager and strongly recommends that she schedule the proposal for council consideration. Given the ongoing fiscal challenges of the city, the manager does not feel that the proposal is a priority and suggests that the councilmember approach the mayor to see if the mayor will support the agenda item. The councilmember is upset and feels that the manager is a roadblock.

Public Administration Ethics

Scenario 3

The city manager has an excellent relationship with one of the councilmembers and gets a lot of political support from him regarding her recommendations. The councilmember makes time to meet every week with the manager and gets updated on all important city matters, including upcoming council agenda items. The manager provides more information to this particular councilmember than the other councilmembers. Based on their strong relationship, the councilmember discusses with the city manager strategy to move initiatives forward and to create majority support on the council for specific actions.

Assignment Specifics:

Answer both A and B.

Identify the ethical dilemma (from your selected scenario) and explain the dilemma. Provide no less than two (2) actions that each identified public administrator may take. Explain.

Using Practices to Promote the ASPA Code of Ethics (in this assignment folder) from the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), select one (1) of the eight (8) standards. Explain how your selected standard relates to your selected scenario. Use APA referencing style.

Ethical Dilemma Worksheet

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Ethical Dilemma Worksheet

An ethical dilemma is when we are faced to choose between decisions that are morally/ethically incompatible or being in a situation when decisions are being made that contradict your moral/ethical values. Ethical dilemmas, out involvement in them, and making decisions against our own values can lead to moral/ethical distress. Moral/ethical distress is when we feel psychological distress when we act against our moral/ethical values or are not permitted to act on them. This form of distress is a leading cause for nursing attrition and unhealthy coping mechanisms (including drug us to suicide).

Think of a time at work where you experienced an ethical dilemma. This could be a situation where you were directly involved or one you simply observed. Briefly describe the scenario and what you deemed to be the ethical dilemma.
Describe what you felt in the situation. What was it wrong or difficult for you?
What id you do in the situation and what was the outcome. If you did nothing, explain why.

Psychology Research Summary Paper

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Psychology Research Summary Paper

To write a summary paper, you will need to find an appropriate scientific journal article. You can find psychology journals in the periodical section of the DePaul Library. You can also retrieve many journal articles from the library’s website. While some scientific articles can be found through a standard search engine (Google, Bing, etc.), it is recommended that you use the DePaul Library search tool. On the library web site you can go to “databases” and select APA PsycArticles. Select “Empirical Study” under Methodology and hit Search. (You can narrow it down more by entering a keyword before hitting Search, and by limiting the publication year and limiting to Scholarly Journals.) The Psychology entry under “Research Guides” on the library website is also very helpful: https://libguides.depaul.edu/psychology

Journal Article Requirements

The article must be from a scientific journal, such as the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General or Psychological Science (just to mention two – there are many others). It can not be from a newspaper or magazine, such as Psychology Today or Time. The two journals Psychological Reports and Perceptual and Motor Skills are also not acceptable sources, although empirical research reports from most other journals are fine. Scientific American articles are acceptable, but only if they are about research that is related to psychology. If you have any question about whether a source is a scientific journal, email the Coordinator and verify that your source is acceptable before you write the paper. Here are some good places to find reputable journals:

o https://improvingpsych.org/collabra-psychology

o https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals

o https://www.psychonomic.org/page/journals

o The article must be about research in or related to psychology. In other words, it must report the results of an empirical study, or summarize the findings from several studies. It must have data.

o The article must be from a current journal issue. This means that the publication date must be from the current calendar year. If, for example, today’s date is Jan. 30, 2024, you must use an article published in 2024. ARTICLES NOT FROM THE CURRENT CALENDAR YEAR WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, even for winter quarter.

Psychology Research Summary Paper

Paper Requirements

Please keep in mind that you will not receive credit for a paper that does not meet the requirements outlined below. To help you a checklist and an example paper are provided below as a guide.

o Deadline: Please turn your papers in to the Psychology Experiment System Coordinators electronically by emailing them to psychexperiments@depaul.edu. Be sure to include the phrase, “Alternative Paper Option” in the subject line. You must turn in all papers by the last scheduled class meeting (before Final Exam week), or by the date stated in the syllabus for your class, if the instructor has set an earlier deadline.

o Rejected papers: If you submit a paper that does not follow the guidelines you will not receive credit. In general you will not be able to revise and resubmit rejected papers. Papers submitted less than a week before the deadline are unlikely to be evaluated in time for you to submit a replacement paper if they are rejected.

Psychology Research Summary Paper

o Citations: All papers must include APA-style citations and a DOI or URL linking to the article. If you are unsure of what this entails, there are numerous resources available online and within the Psychology department to assist you. An easy way to get the formatting right for the list of sources in your References section is to look the article up in Google Scholar (scholar.google.com), click the quotation mark, and copy the APA formatted entry.

o No plagiarism, including recycling of papers, cutting and pasting of text, or verbatim use of phrases from the article. The optional papers are a class assignment, subject to the same rules of academic integrity as any other course work. Plagiarism, turning in the same paper twice or for two different classes, or other violations of academic integrity will be reported to your instructor and the university.

o No direct quotations of more than three words. Everything must be put into your own words.

o Paper Content – see the checklist/template below for details.
