Nature of the Concept 1. The first premise is that a person acts morally if his or her conduct would, without condition, be the “right” conduct for any person in similar circumstances (the “First Maxim”). 2. The second premise is that conduct is “right” if it treats others/yourself as ends in themselves/yourself and not as means to an end (the “Second Maxim”). 3. The conclusion is that a person acts morally when he or she acts as if his or her conduct was establishing a universal law governing others in similar circumstances (the “Third Maxim”).

    Write on the Development and Success of the Civil Rights Movement

    /in /by

    Background: When the First World War began, African-American leaders pressed the government to provide black men the right to go to combat to prove their devotion to their country. Hoping that their service would lay a stake on citizenship that the nation would have no choice but to honor, the “New Negro” of the 1920s adopted a more militant stance toward civil rights. The civil rights struggle envisioned at the time, however, made few concrete gains. Discrimination and disenfranchisement persisted.

    African-American leaders responded to the Second World War much as they had to the First, offering their services while expecting recognition in return. They intended to fight a “Double-V Campaign” against fascism abroad and racism at home. They helped to kill fascism abroad; racist policies at home survived, but only for a time. Less than a decade after the war ended, the Brown case struck down the principle of “separate but equal” in schools. A grass-roots movement emerged to challenge discrimination elsewhere. By 1965, nonviolent means had murdered Jim Crow. Yet, the 60s were nothing if not a violent decade, marred by war, riots, and assassinations. By the end of the decade, Americans were as divided in some ways as they had ever been, and hopes for integration into a single American nation largely gave way to an emphasis on the unique needs and interests of different groups within the nation.

    • Choose a place from this lesson’s readings. Discuss the importance of this place on the period and regions covered in this lesson. Was this place a site of conflict? If so, were people fighting for control of it, or was it merely where opposing sides happened to encounter one another? Was this place a site of exchange of goods and ideas? Why does this place matter in the scheme of the History of the American West?
      • For example, if the Black Hills were in this lesson’s readings, you might examine what the Black Hills meant to various parties. Why did people want to control them or to have access to them? You might explore how conflicts over the Black Hills led to other conflicts. How did the loss of the Hills by one group and the gain of the Hills by another affect their cultures? Landscape has tremendous power in American identity, particularly Western landscapes. Later in the course, a particular place as a factor in local or national identity would be interesting to pursue. (Yellowstone and Yosemite, for example)

    • ASSSIGNMENT:

    You have just been part of a merger. You have each been chosen to head up your department and merge the two groups into a self-directed work team. Work with each other to lay out a plan describing how you will develop a new team within your department or departments. It is natural that there will be some confrontations between people. Look at the stages of team development and use that knowledge to work with the team. It is recognized that some employees will refuse to be part of the team. In fact, the new ownership expects that there will be some who lose their jobs because of these issues; however, that is a last resort. Use all your skills to negotiate with employees in an attempt to resolve conflicts and pull your team together.

    Because you are working together as a team, it is seen by the ownership that if one is successful, you are all successful. Likewise, if one fails, you all fail. The future success of the company is dependent on your mutual success.

    Consider the following:

    • As a team, you must come up with a plan and be in agreement because you have to implement it in your departments.
    • For each step you take, provide a brief explanation of your reasoning.
    • Use the library and the Internet to research these issues.

    The Group should present your findings as a 8-10  pages (body of paper) Word document formatted in APA style not including the title page or the reference page.

    a female practicing maritime law, discussion help

    /in /by

    Try to attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to analyze things in as much detail as you can. 100 words or more.

    A couple of years ago I worked at a law firm that specialized in insurance defense and had been around for about ninety years. During this time I worked as a secretary for a lawyer who had been practicing law Maritime Law for about 30 years. Just a brief explanation, Maritime Law covers cargo ships that ships goods around the world. It’s the law of the sea. I remember having a conversation with her about how she decided to become a lawyer. She went on to tell how when she first considered law school she was told by many that women were not good lawyer and will never have a place in a male dominated field and she would be better off being a secretary that supports the lawyer. That didn’t stop her and she is recognized as a top Maritime Lawyer and is still practicing law in a field that she is passionate about. I have been working in the legal field for about 10 years and have seen very few men that are secretaries is this because of the job title?

    There are many career fields that are consided only for males and many are fighting for equal pay and a equal chance for women in these male dominated fields.

    Begin your paper with a discussion of community or progressive organizing, as you understand it at this point in the course.  Review your areas of strength as an organizer.

    Considering the above quote, select a social problem or cause that you could address as a social change agent.  Explain what motivates you to support this cause. 

    Homelessness

    The list could go on and on. Consider movies such as Erin Brockovich, Legally Blonde 2, Patch Adams, or others where someone felt strongly about a social cause, or saw a need, mobilized support, and worked to effect change.  What cause might you take on?

    Describe the process you would go through to mobilize others to collectively enact changes.  Some of the questions to be answered might be:

    What are your goals?  What would you like to achieve? What role do you see yourself taking in this cause? How will you mobilize others to help you? Where will you obtain funding for your cause? What coalitions, local and state, would you contact who might support you in your cause? What governmental policies would you need to have changed? What specific skills or tools would you need to develop in order to accomplish your goals? What would be your best approach to this particular problem? What government agencies or representatives would you need to approach? Research and name specific members of government who might support you in your legislative district. What roadblocks or challenges might you anticipate that could hinder your success or progress?

    Conclude your paper with a discussion about how you would evaluate and reflect upon your progress, review your original goals and evaluate how you are meeting your goals and if they have remained current and relevant to your area of interest or concern.  Understanding that change takes time, how will you know that you are on track and making progress?  Summarize what you hope to accomplish and any insights you might have gained in this project.
