Critical Infrastructure & Animal Rights

Critical Infrastructure & Animal Rights

Discussion Questions: Define critical infrastructure and key resources and describe their relevance to homeland security efforts and related capabilities. Of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors, pick one of the six listed below and describe current areas of risk and associated vulnerabilities for the sector.

Chemical Sector
Energy Sector
Food and Agriculture Sector
Healthcare and Public Health Sector
Transportation Services Sector
Water and Wastewater Systems Sector

Critical Infrastructure & Animal Rights

Assuming the research by DeWaal is correct, most if not all social animals have innate dispositions to cooperate for survival and as such, develop moral codes for behavior. As such, should humans not work more to ensure animals have basic rights even if they cannot ask for them? What rights should those be and is there some sort of hierarchy (should dogs have more rights than mice).

It has been such a pleasure getting to know all of you over the past several weeks. Please respond to this final, ungraded discussion with your thoughts regarding the course (organizational behavior). Did you enjoy the topics that we discussed? Which discussion did you find to be the most useful? Is there a topic that you feel did not lend itself to the course? If so, what would you recommend discussing as an alternative?

Elementary School Medical Needs

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Elementary School Medical Needs

When I was in elementary school, I didn’t run into a lot of children with medical conditions.

There was a single child in my school who had Down Syndrome, and no one was ever told of any medical issues relating to this diagnosis.

We had a special lesson about a boy in my class who was in a Spica Cast (a cast which covers the entire torso) for a few weeks during 6th grade. We were just told to be careful not to bump into him, but nothing more.

At least two students had Asthma. I was pretty familiar with Asthma since my sister was one of the two!

There was never any information shared about any conditions…..and there was nothing more significant than these 4 diagnoses in our school to our knowledge.

Elementary School Medical Needs

Fast forward now to what I have seen in-school: cerebral palsy, spina bifida, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, cancer, organ transplant recipients…..and with much of the medical care comes changes in appearance and the traumatic impact on children attending school with those children.

Think back to when you were in elementary school – what medical needs or disabilities do you remember existing in your class or in your school? What do you think has changed in how administrators and teachers view “medically fragile” children? How do you see the role of Child Life growing as a result of this change? Why do you think this change in Child Life is necessary?
