After reading the text and watching the video,
Injustice for Blacks in Alabama, respond to each of the following questions:

  1. What do you think best explains high incarceration rates for Blacks compared to their percent of the general population?
  2. What do you think explains high incarceration rates for Blacks on death row?
  3. Is institutionalized racism to blame for these disparate rates? Please explain.
  4. Are genuinely high rates of Black crime to blame? Why or why not?
  5. What other factors explain the high incarceration rates for Black men?
  6. How can this problem be solved?

Strategies for Decision Making – Week 2 Assignment

Constructing Deductive and Inductive Arguments

Arguments consist of premises and conclusions. Premises are structured so as to lend support to conclusions. The kind of support that a premise lends to a conclusion allows us to distinguish between deductive and inductive arguments. This week, you will be constructing both kinds of arguments.

1.In three premises each, construct one example of each following deductive argument form:

Modus ponens

Modus tollens

Hypothetical syllogism

Disjunctive syllogism

Make sure your arguments are deductively valid and that your examples are your own. Here are two examples of the general format that your arguments should take:

Modus ponens:

1.If it is raining, then it is pouring.

2.It is raining.

3.Therefore, it is pouring.

Modus tollens:

1.If Jack went to the grocery store, then he bought cookies.

2.Jack did not buy cookies.

3.Therefore, Jack did not go to the grocery store.

2.After you construct the preceding deductive argument forms, construct a three premise syllogism. For example:

1.All men are mortal.

2.Socrates is a man.

3.Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

3.After you construct a three premise syllogism, construct one of each of the following inductive argument patterns:

Induction by enumeration

Reasoning by analogy

Statistical induction

Higher-level induction

Your examples of inductive argument patterns should not be expressed in premise form. Rather, they should be informally expressed in writing. You should have one paragraph for each pattern. Be as detailed as possible.

Finally, please remember to label your arguments. This makes it easier for them to be graded. Include your name, course section, and the date at the top of your assignment document

Community Engagement

Lasker and Weiss make the point that “at a practical level, many of the problems that affect the health and well-being of people in communities . . . cannot be solved by any person, organization, or sector working alone” (2007). This unit’s readings include references to the kinds of processes that generate community engagement.

Discuss the processes for effective community engagement:

  • What kinds of processes do you think are likely to be effective in communities you know? Explain your thinking.
  • How might you apply these processes to the health issue your action plan is targeting?
  • In relation to these processes, think ahead about the action plan you will be completing later in the course. Who should be involved, how will you involve participants, and how will you promote broad and active participation?
