Ethics is an important part of every research project. Adherence to ethical guidelines helps researchers protect both themselves and participants. Reflect on the study you proposed in Discussion 1 this week. Review the reading from your course textbook as well as the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and Institutional Review Boards Frequently Asked Questions: Information Sheet articles.  Select one ethical guideline from these sources that relates to your study proposal from Discussion 1.  Briefly describe the guideline and explain how you would address its specifications in your study.  Provide an example and be as specific as possible as you explain.  

The class’ selections should vary (please do not all pick the same guideline) and your selection must relate to your specific topic from Discussion 1.  Your initial post must be a minimum of 200 words and utilize at least one scholarly source (e.g., the course textbook, a peer-reviewed article from the Ashford University Library, or a professional web source), cited according to APA format

We’re going to examine our assumptions throughout this course, and we’ll be encountering a number of those in this first module. Stop for a moment and examine what your assumptions are about the term monster and about Frankenstein. Now, let’s see what our cultural assumptions are, and the best place to do that, of course, is on the Internet! Take a moment to enter monster and then Frankenstein as a search terms in the search engine of your choice. Be sure to look at images too.
Share your assumptions here about the terms “monster” and Frankenstein, your search findings, and what you learned about your assumptions from this exercise.

Write a synopsis of no more than 350 words summarizing what the team has learned from the review and discussion. Please no plagairsm. Below are the thoughts of my team. Use that

1. From this paper I have gathered that communication is vital within Best Buy.  You stated that, “In current fast growing, globalized, competitive and more challenging business era, communication plays a significant role in the development, creation and building a strong relationship with the employee at the workplace in a more significant and an effective and manner.” Thus, it seems as though communication plays a major role throughout this organization. Another thing that I liked about this plan is how customer focused it is. You expressed that customer retention, satisfaction, and value are all important factors to consider in this overall strategic plan. I think customer satisfaction is a good focus because the customers are the reason the company is even able to grow and create new products and services. Overall, I think you have a good idea of what you need  to do to have a successful product, Good Job William!

2. Good paper over all.  I liked how you broke down the information for the scorecard. You described how the company will be able to profit and succeed. The paper mentions employee satisfaction, and describes how the employees will be able to earn incentives, which is always good for a company to be able to offer. The paper also mentions risk involved, which is also something companies must take into consideration.  overall i think this is a great paper. i can see from the information that you full understood the assignment and gave a lot of thought and time into it. Great job

*****IMPORTANT NOTE: This paper is a collective assignment between a group. I only need help with writing one section of the paper.

I am copying the entire assignment as a reference but again only the introduction needs to be written. Please do not add more then one in text citation in the introduction if you choose to use any at all. The introduction should be specific, to the point and word count should be no more then 250 words.********

Question 1:

     Imagine you are a leader in post-colonial Africa, and you are considering what type of constitution your country should adopt. While you are excited about independence, your country faces several challenges.  Your country possesses an oil-rich north and a number of large cities in its south.  However, the population of your country is divided in three ethnic groups.  One ethnic group makes up 50% of the population and dwells in the oil-rich north of the country.  The second largest ethnic group makes up 47% of the population and this group predominately, but not exclusively, lives in the cities in the south.  The final ethnic group makes up 3% of the population, and this group cooperated with the colonizers.  Prior to colonization, the three groups did not live in one unified country.  During colonization, tension emerged between the three groups. In fact, a small civil war developed immediately after colonization.   Fearing retribution for cooperating with the colonizers, the ethnic group with 3% of population allied itself the majority ethnic group.  The majority ethnic group with its allies emerged as the winners of the civil war. 

If you wanted to maintain stability in the country, would you recommend that the country adopt a constitution similar to the United States Constitution or the British Constitution or another type of Constitution?  

What would be the essential elements of your country’s proposed Constitution? 

Question 2:

In Carrol v. United States, 267 U. S. 132 (1925) the Supreme Court held that vehicles were held to a lesser standard of Fourth Amendment protection:
 

We have made a somewhat extended reference to these statutes to show that the guaranty of freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures by the Fourth Amendment has been construed, practically since the beginning of the Government, as recognizing a necessary difference between a search of a store, dwelling house or other structure in respect of which a proper official warrant readily may be obtained, and a search of a ship, motor boat, wagon or automobile, for contraband goods, where it is not practicable to secure a warrant because the vehicle can be quickly moved out of the locality or jurisdiction in which the warrant must be sought.

 In Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967),  however, the Court established the right to privacy as a defense against warrantless searches.  

1) Briefly summarize Katz v. United States. Please read the case at the link below. 

http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/389/347

2) United States v. Jones, an appeal from the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals that went on to the Supreme Court, on the issue of whether a warrant is needed to attach a GPS tracking device to a vehicle. Briefly summarize United States v. Jones. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-1259.pdf

3) Which argument do you find more persuasive in the Jones case, Scalia’s or Sotomayor’s  Why?

Question 3:

  1.  In  Berghuis v. Thompkins, 560 U.S. ___ (2010) (which can also be found in the Resources link), the Supreme Court considered the position of a suspect who understands his or her right to remain silent under Miranda v. Arizona and is aware he or she has the right to remain silent, but does not explicitly invoke or waive the right.  Please read the case.  Give me a summary of the facts of the case and a discussion of the opinion, both majority and dissent.

2.  It is estimated that about 75% of suspects routinely waive their Miranda rights and talk to the police.1  Given that, discuss the impact of this decision on law enforcement.

Question 4:

Please answer and thoroughly discuss the following questions: 

1. Should the death penalty be banned as a violation of the 8th Amendment against cruel and unusual Punishment? What specific provisions of the Constitution support keeping or banning the death penalty? 

2. What exactly is “cruel and unusual” punishment under the Constitution? 

3. What did the framers intend to ban with the 8th Amendment? How does that intent apply in today’s society?  

Question 5:

1. What benefits come from a nation having a written constitution?  

2. Are there disadvantages in having a written constitution such as ours?  If so, what might they be? 

3. What are the threats to a nation that does not have a written constitution? What nations currently do not have a written constitution? How does that affect the people? 

Please thoroughly discuss.

Review the attached grading rubric for forums. Your initial post must be a minimum of 500 words and must thoroughly answer the questions posed. A minimum of one source is required. All citations must be in Bluebook format.  Examples are available in the Attached PDF.
