Stanford Prison Experiment (Read Carefully)

Stanford Prison Experiment (Read Carefully)

A classic study in Criminal Justice is the Stanford Prison Experiment. This week you will conduct research on this classic study and submit your work as a PowerPoint presentation.

 

Research the Stanford Prison Experiment.

 

Create a 10 –12 slide PowerPoint presentation incorporating speaker notes to provide an overview of the following:

  1. Provide a brief review of the study.
  2. What was the purpose of the study (exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, evaluative, or a combination)? Justify your reasoning.
  3. Describe the sampling strategy and sampling technique.
  4. Describe the research design
  5. List four ethical principles or standards and discuss whether researchers were compliant with these principles.
  6. Evaluate the validity and reliability of this experiment. Explain your answer.
  7. Analyze whether the results can be generalized to another situation or population. Justify your reasoning.

The key to a successful project is to ensure that the presentation:

  • Addresses all of the information requested (see bullet points above)
  • Is “creative” in that it utilizes template, color, hyperlinks, pictures, and streaming video in support of your major premises
  • Completed in PowerPoint (other formats will be scored a zero)
  • APA style is utilized on the reference slide
  • No large music files are included
  • Outside research is evidenced. You will need a minimum of 4 sources
  • USE ONLY ACADEMIC SOURCES: Use Google Scholar, JSTOR, textbooks, and/or .gov websites to keep the true academic sources in your papers. TURNITIN MUST BE UNDER 20%
  • Free of spelling and other grammatical errors

 

CONFLITING VIEWPOINT 1

CONFLITING VIEWPOINT 1

Conflicting Viewpoint Essay Part 1

The following paper based on the certain issue of the believing game which resists the biases to provide reasons for opposing view from an own point of view (Elbow,2006).The issue of concern is “Should animal used for scientific testing.” By the believing game that animal can use for the testing purpose. The paper based on the study of believing and opposing arguments on the topic.

Approximately 26 million animals across the world are used for the scientific test. Animal testing is generally to ensure the safety of the animal product for human, develop the medical treatment. And other healthcare used. The fact of a scientific test of animal for life-saving which should be supported as no alternative method and may ways and some of animal s are very similar to human.

A scientific test of animal has a different opponents view. The first reason is testing animal only the cruelty of the animals. Cording to the view of opponents, other alternatives are available to research.Thirdly, It is an opposing reason that animals are different from human.

According to biomedical research association, since past 100 years, the animal testing very helpful to save human life.For example, a test of hepatitis C in chimpanzees was succeeded to save a more human life.If the test is happening to save human life, there shouldn’t be any offense.

Firstly, it should ensure animal life will be saved after testing and less harm after the test.If there is an alternative source for testing, scientists will not use an animal.

The scientific test is base on purpose to save our lives, not for any commercial benefits.If animal testing is a purpose for commercial benefit, then it is ethically and morally wrong as a human being.

Ethics

Ethics

Due to crumbling infrastructure, sewage plants in Zimbabwe begin leaking raw sewage into rivers. Within weeks, thousands of people who rely on the rivers contract cholera. The Zimbabwean government denies that the country is experiencing a cholera pandemic, despite thousands of deaths and sick refugees presenting in bordering countries, and refuses to act on the emergency. Can the international community legally intervene in instances when a state is unwilling or unable to control an epidemic?

The above scenario mirrors what occurred in Zimbabwe in 2008, and raises the question of what recourse populations have in the event of a disaster if their host state is incapable or unwilling to provide basic aid and is reluctant to request international assistance. Currently there is no general convention that governs all aspects of disaster relief, in stark contrast to international humanitarian law, which protects civilians during armed conflicts (Davies 2010). On the question of humanitarian access, international law tends to favour the protection of sovereignty and territorial integrity over the protection of populations (United Nations 2007). However, while international law does not currently govern humanitarian disasters, the WHO's revised IHR (2005) lists cholera as one of the diseases about which states are required to notify WHO, due to its potential serious public health impact and its ability to spread internationally. The IHR requires that states request international assistance if they have insufficient antidotes, drugs, vaccine, protection equipment and financial, human and material resources to contain the disease. The breakdown of the public health system in Zimbabwe, the case fatality rate of cholera victims, and the speed at which the disease spread in 2008 all pointed to the state being unable to effectively contain the disease outbreak (Davies 2010). In terms of the IHR 2005, Zimbabwe's 2008 cholera outbreak constituted an emergency and the Zimbabwean government had a duty to accept the assistance offered by WHO and various NGOs. In instances where a state still refuses to accept international intervention in the face of a major disease outbreak, the UN Security Council could become involved. The UN High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change (United Nations 2004) noted that in certain instances:

[T]he Security Council should be prepared to support the work of WHO investigators or to deploy experts reporting directly to the Council, and if existing International Health Regulations do not provide adequate access for WHO investigations and response coordination, the Security Council should be prepared to mandate greater compliance. In the event that a State is unable to adequately quarantine large numbers of potential carriers, the Security Council should be prepared to support international action to assist in cordon operations. The Security Council should consult with the WHO Director- General to establish the necessary procedures for working together in the event.

Due to the possibility of being classified as a failed state (which would have opened the door to possible UN Security Council intervention), the Zimbabwe government eventually declared the cholera outbreak a national emergency in December 2008, and invited WHO to coordinate a Health Cluster response effort with the cooperation of the Zimbabwe health ministry and other nongovernmental agencies.

 

 

n this assignment, you will examine the international legal entities dealing with global health law incidents. Read “Cholera Outbreak in Zimbabwe” (5.2) on pages 68-69 in An Introduction to Global Health Ethics. In this case study, you explore options available for dealing with this health crisis. Write a four- to five-page paper evaluating the steps Zimbabwe should take in dealing with this situation and provide your recommendation on how to remedy a future situation.

Your report should address the following substantive requirements:

  • Examine the purpose of laws.
  • Describe and assess each agency that would be involved in the situation. Include pros and cons for international involvement in state affairs.
  • Develop a law that would prevent such a breakdown from occurring in the future and use reasoning to illustrate why such a law would not be considered intrusive.

Your well-written report should meet the following requirements:

  • Be four to five pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages.
  • Formatted according to Saudi Electronic University and APA writing guidelines.
  • Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of four scholarly articles. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but two must be external.  
  • Utilize the following headings to organize the content in your work:
    • Introduction
    • Description and Assessment
    • Recommendation
    • Conclusion
