Supreme Courts Decision and Deviancy Theory
$2.50This is an excellent opportunity to see the operation of the theoretical framwork for studying deviance that is presented in this class. This is the end of a long process of claims making, rule breaking and rule making. So we are lucky to be studying deviance at such an important dime in American history. Today the Supreme Court said that laws that ban gay marriage are unconstitutional. Married gay people now qualify for a wide range of federal benefits that come with being married, principally significant tax and social security benefits. This is one element in the process of reality construction.We are observing the process by which a designation of deviance is being dismantled in law. What was once deviant, being gay, is slowly becoming “normal” at the formal level of social rules, federal law. We also see states revising their laws to provide for gay marriage, gay adoption, and protections against housing and workplace discrimination.We have seen public opinion polls that show a majority of Americans now accept homosexuals in a wide range of social relationships. The changes in the informal system of social rules are also occurring.Claims-makers who support gay rights were active in changing minds through publicity, protests, agitating for legal change and other forms of framing the issue of sexuality as a human rights issue. They seem to be winning against the old school rule creators and rule enforcers who were successful for many centuries in maintaining deviant status for homosexuals. Now a new era of rule creators and rule enforcers is emerging. President Obama has instructed the Internal Revenue Service to re-write its rules to accommodate the new construction of reality that the Supreme Court has legitimated.

Criminal Tendencies
$7.00Comment on the material in Chapter 6 concerning the “invention” of medical problems such as hyperactivity and child abuse. Do you agree that these conditions have medical roots or that some medical treatment or intervention is appropriate. For example, if a person who was abused as a child then abuses children later in life, should the history of abuse be used to mitigate some degree of guilt? To what degree are such offenders “created” by forces beyond their control, such as living a life of abuse and neglect.

Ethical Implications of Data Mining in Government Organizations (2013)
$12.00Portfolio Overview
As part of a scaffolding learning cycle, students will complete a four-part portfolio over the course of the semester. This portfolio will include individual and group aspects, encouraging collaboration and individual responsibility.
Each group will be assigned a social inclusion topic refined to business and economics. To complete the various stages of the portfolio, students will research and become experts on the implications, both practical and ethical, related to the topic. Students will collaboratively problem-solve an aspect of the topic and present substantiated recommendations to respond to an aspect of the social inclusion issue (locally and/or globally).
The portfolio interactions will commence with a focus on research. Students will collect articles and reports related to their topic, read and critically review the content in relation to the social inclusion issue (i.e. critical summaries). Using the information outlined in these critical summaries, students will collaborate to develop a group presentation, demonstrating their expertise on the issue and the ability to collectively argue for complementary recommendations. From there students will develop their recommendations into a coherent, argument essay.
Finally, as students continue to research their topic and “play” with different approaches and recommendations, they will develop a capstone research report that outlines the issue, identifies areas of weakness or gaps in the services provided, and effectively argues for and proposes responsive actions through a coherent business report.
Topic
Information mining
Edward Snowden’s release of classified NSA documents revealed the government’s top- secret program to spy on its citizens using a supposed “google back door”. While the technology to mine information exists and becomes increasingly sophisticated, the use of such technology remains controversial. Examine the ethical implications related to government organisations mining its citizens’ personal information.
Critical Summaries (Assessment 2) This task requires students to critically read and evaluate discipline-specific texts related to the group’s assigned topic. Each student is required to read four (4) relevant texts and write a critical summary for each, identifying the salient arguments, key statistics and points of reliability for why the article is a valid resource in the academic community.
