Option A: Piaget’s theory on cognitive development has contributed a unique perspective to our understanding of how children think, reason, and solve problems. Examine and identify the main tenets of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development (i.e., schema, assimilation, and accommodation) describing them in your own words.

Examine the cognitive factors Piaget presents in relation to human development. Briefly identify and describe his stages of cognitive development by illustrating the cognitive tasks that infants, children, or young adults are capable (or not capable) of performing.

Alternatively, instead of describing the stages, you may create a chart in which the abilities that define cognitive development in Piaget’s theory are plotted against the age at which they are acquired. Identify at least one aspect of Piaget’s theory that has been criticized and mention the evidence upon which this criticism is based.

Is the Constitution a living document – a dynamic, progressive document open to interpretation for the good of the republic?

For A-Plus Writer Only

 

Constitutional Philosophies

Constitutional construction, the process by which meanings are assigned to words to enable justifiable legal decisions, is a key concept you see repeatedly throughout legal studies. In fact, constitutional construction as created in Marbury v. Madison is the very power of the judiciary. But should the Constitution be open to interpretation? Legal scholars are divided. On one hand, originalists argue that judges and lawyers should look to the original intent of the writers of the Constitution, and not alter from that intent. On the other hand, judicial pragmatics argue that the Constitution must be able to change over time to benefit society as it evolves. Is the Constitution a living document – a dynamic, progressive document open to interpretation for the good of the republic?

 

Review Chapter 1 in your course text, Constitutional Law. Reflect on the structure, content, and balance of the Constitution.

 

Consider whether the Constitution is a living document. Should the Constitution be open to interpretation or is it only words on a page?

 

Review Chapter 1, §1.6 in your course text, Constitutional Law: National Power and Federalism. Reflect on how lawmakers, judges, and public administrators may use theories of constitutional construction (interpretation) to please their constituents.

 

Consider arguments for and against the Constitution as a living document.

Support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources. You are allowed to draw from additional sources to support your argument, but you must cite using APA stand

Explain why the key ideas in the Federalist Paper you selected did or did not become part of U.S. law. Be specific.

For A-Plus Writer Only

 

Application: The Federalist Papers

 

 

 

It is easy to read and understand words written on a page, but it is difficult to understand the underlying philosophy of the writer. The Federalist Papers give a glimpse into the philosophy and motivation behind the Constitution. In fact, The Federalist Papers are a series of persuasive essays. A persuasive essay utilizes logic and reason to argue why one idea is superior to another. Madison, Hamilton, and Jay wrote these essays to Americans advocating ratification of the Constitution. They address key issues and concerns of everyday people from 1787, some of which have become part of U.S. law today.

 

 

 

  • Review the article, “The Supreme Court and Opinion Content: The Use of the Federalist Papers.” Reflect on how The Federalist Papers have been utilized by courts to determine the intent of the founders.

     

  • Review the media piece, “Federalist Papers.” Consider the Federalist Papers within this media piece.

 

  • Select and read a Federalist Paper from the media piece. Utilize the article, “The Federalist Papers,” to find a full version of the paper you selected.

Must be original work. Using APA format including citations and references. No plagiarism.

 

Globalization

Directions:

Think about what you have read and seen in the news on globalization. Consider the fact that the clothing we wear, the cars that we drive, the cell phones we use to communicate and the computers we use to work, are each likely to have been manufactured in whole or in part in different parts of the world. While there are still companies and firms that maintain local and national borders, it is almost unheard of in the 21st century that an industry does not maintain an international strategic position.

From an executive’s position, identify and explain at least three challenges and opportunities that might face an international executive over the next five years. Provide possible solutions of how the executive might address these issues in order for their firm to maintain a competitive advantage.

Prepare a 4-6 page paper that describes the impact of globalization on U.S. businesses. In your analysis, please include information about the impact of at least four economic drivers that might impact globalization.

One of the most difficult dilemmas to resolve relates to the allocation of valuable, but scarce resources. Setting standards by which resources are allocated is not an easy task. We hear about patients every day that don’t make it because there aren’t enough organs for those on the list. Please read the article: History of deceased organ donation, transplantation, and organ procurement organizations by Howard, Cornell, and Cochran. After reading the article and doing additional research, please respond to the following questions.

 

1.                   Discuss some of the earliest examples of transplantation. Do you think these early experiments made it easier for it to become so commonplace today? What lessons can we learn from the early pioneers?

 

2.                   Discuss the process of using organs from deceased patients. What are at least two ethical principles that apply to this process? Be sure to address distributive justice as one of your choices. What are the ethical issues that may arise? What are some instances where the dead donor rule has been violated?

 

3.                   Briefly discuss the origins of organ procurement organizations (OPO). What role do they play in organ donations? What ethical issues do you see with these organizations? What are the rules and regulations that govern these organizations?

 

4.                   We tend to think of organ transplantation as pertaining to healthcare alone. Provide some examples of how your specific discipline might impact some aspect of organ donation. For example, how might a public health agency impact the process or rules and regulations for organ donation?
