Text 1: Principles of Human Knowledge & Three Dialogues, edited by Howard Robinson. Oxford, 2009.
George Berkeley.If you choose topic 2,
Text 2:John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, edited by Peter Nidditch. Oxford, 1979.TOPICS 1. As thoroughly and as clearly as you can, set out Berkeleys critique of materialism. Be sure to make it clear just what materialism is and what material things (and/or substance) are (/is) supposed to be. Make it clear too what exactly Berkeleys position concerning matter is. (Does Berkeley deny that matter exists? Does he deny that we can know anything about it? Or what? What is/are his main contention(s) about matter?) Do you find Berkeleys critique of materialism (/material substance) convincing? Why/why not? Give reasons for what you say.

2. Both Locke and Berkeley believe that a term is meaningful because of the idea(s) associated with it. The Lockean account of the meaningfulness of general terms (cow, triangle, etc.) involves an appeal to abstraction and abstract ideas. Briefly set out the Lockean account and then explain Berkeleys argument(s) against it. (Dont spend too much time on the former task focus on Berkeleys arguments and position.) How does Berkeley explain the meaningfulness of general terms? Do you think that his account is superior to Lockes? Why/why not? Give reasons for what you say.

3. Samuel Johnson is said to have reacted to Berkeleys immaterialism by kicking a stone as he said, I refute him thus! And in his Sixth Meditation, Descartes seems to raise a problem for the immaterialist who (like Berkeley) believes in God, when he writes: I do not see how we could clear God of the charge of deceit if [certain of our] ideas did in fact come from some other source or were produced by other causes than corporeal objects. As clearly and persuasively as you can, defend Berkeleys view against each of these two objections. (Be sure you make it clear why each of the two objections is supposed to present a problem for Berkeleys position.) Do you think these responses are adequate? Why/why not? Give reasons for what you say.

Berkeley admits that we can have only a notion of God; what does this mean and why does he think this? How do we come by that notion? Hylas argues that, since Philonous admits that we cannot have a perfectly adequate idea of God, that ought to put God and matter (/material substance) on the same footing. How does Philonous/Berkeley respond? Why does he think that thoughts about matter are problematic in a way that thoughts about God are not? Do you think Philonous/Berkeleys position here — his response to Hylas, and his claim that there is an asymmetry between matter and God on this point — is satisfactory? Why/why not? Give reasons for what you say. Your responses should be clear, concise and to the point: do not include anything that does not help you to address the topic questions on which you are writing. Beyond your adequately addressing the topic questions on which you write, evaluation of assignments will be based on: evidence of comprehension of the materials and issues addressed; evidence of original and critical thought with regard to that material; the extent to which you stake out a position and provides good reasons and arguments for it; the extent to which you communicate your ideas clearly (using complete and grammatical sentences, the correct philosophical terms, a clear structure, and so on).

Students will analyze the readings presented in the course material (both required texts-Sexual Offenses & Sexual Victimization) with the goal of deepening their understanding of issues and controversies related to sexual crimes. Students will use the following format to prepare to discuss the topic in the readings assigned using the question provided. Reading discussions will be assigned to Student groups in class who will then use the same format to discuss those questions critically. Groups will be randomly selected to share their analysis in class. Each student will turn in a 3-5 paragraph typed paper, to the professor on the day the reading is due. Please check Syllabus Schedule for Due Dates. Use the following format for your paper:Format:Paragraph 1: Introduce the topic of the readings by summarizing the issue or problem discussedParagraphs 2-4: Summarize the main research/perspectives presented in the reading including any data, theories and/or results/ recommendations presentedFinal Paragraph: Personal response to the reading. How it applies to this or other courses you’ve taken? Include any critiques and lingering questionsi will attach the notes from the book which must be added to the assignment. —————————————————————-

Part 3:
DB8 – Conflict/Critical Criminology
No unread replies. No replies.
This DB has TWO options. Please choose ONE. Replies to peers do not have to be directed to someone that also wrote about the same option.Option OneAs discussed in class, it has been argued that the upper class often convinces the lower class that “status quo” is actually positive, natural or inevitable. This false consciousness dumbs down the proletariat so that that they don’t rise up against the upper class. For this post, please discuss your thoughts about this assertion. While no one wants to think of themselves as a mindless sheep who dumbly accepts societal norms and values, could it be true that the masses embrace ideology that perpetuates their place on the social ladder? If so, how does this happen that we so blindly do this? Likewise, does our embracing of capitalistic mentalities stop us from embracing solutions to problems that might otherwise be addressed if we were all a little less egoistic? For instance, can you envision a society where human dignity and equality was valued more than social status/material goods?? Or, is that impossible? How do you believe society might function if we adopted more socialistic policies? Would we crumble? Or, would it be possible to have a utopian-like society whereby everyone’s needs were met and crime was rare?Option TwoIn each of the videos we watched in class, and the quote we discussed, there was the idea that laws are not always written and implemented “fairly” or at the very least with everyone’s interests in mind. Behaviors that are not necessarily dangerous are criminalized such that one can amass many citations and even be incarcerated for things that some find “inappropriate”. In keeping with Broken Windows Theory, shutting down these inappropriate behaviors is thought to help shut down further incivilities… But, WHO gets to decide what inappropriate behaviors should merit intervention? Do you believe that the ruling class (businessmen/women, politicians, community leaders, the wealthy) can have too much power to shape public policy? Is there any merit to the idea that many crimes are crimes only b/c they disturb someone? That perhaps the law is a mechanism of social control that helps to maintain status quo for those in power who like it “their way”? Remember, the constitution has been used to justify slavery, prohibition of the right to vote for African-Americans and women, segregation, imprisonment of gay people and a host of other things. Conversely, do you perhaps take issue with the idea that some might try to minimize the crimes of those imprisoned via use of this theory? Lastly, what do you think about post-conviction policies?? Should convicted felons have access to social programs or is it justifiable that their former behavior makes them forfeit access? Do most young men aged 16-25 actually know much about social programs and have the ability to make good decisions about their future at their age?? Is withholding of services after incarceration an unfair continuation of punishment that traps certain groups in poverty or is it well-deserved?? Again, who decides this???

Assessments are a valuable tool that professionals can use to learn more about themselves and consider how their temperament and preferences influence their interactions with others. As you engage in this learning process, it is important to remember that everyoneregardless of temperament type or related preferencesexperiences some challenges with regard to leadership. The key to success is being able to recognize and leverage your own strengths while honoring differences among your colleagues. At some point in your leadership career, you will encounter an ethical or moral dilemma that requires you to take a stand and defend your position. For this Assignment, you evaluate an issue and consider how you could act as a moral agent or advocate, facilitating the resolution of the issue for a positive outcome. To prepare: Consider the examples of leadership demonstrated in this weeks media presentation and the other Learning Resources. To further your self-knowledge, you are required to complete the Kiersey Temperament as indicated in this weeks Learning Resources. Consider your leadership style, including your strengths for leading others and include your results from Kiersey Temperament Sorter to describe potential challenges related to your leadership style. Mentally survey your work environment, or one with which you are familiar, and identify a timely issue/dilemma that requires you to perform the leadership role of moral agent or advocate to improve a situation (e.g., speaking or acting on behalf of a vulnerable patient, the need for appropriate staffing, a colleague being treated unfairly). What ethical, moral, or legal skills, dispositions, and/or strategies would help you resolve this dilemma? Define the differences between ethical, moral, and legal leadership. Finally, consider the values and principles that guide the nursing profession; the organizations mission, vision, and values; the leadership and management competencies addressed in this course; and your own values and reasons for entering the profession. What motivation do you see for taking a stand on an important issue even when it is difficult to do so?
