At one level law reform is either a product of parliamentary or judicial activity Parliament tends, however, to be concerned with particularities of law reform, and the judiciary are constitutionally and practically disbarred from reforming the law in anything other than an opportunistic and piecemeal way.

Explain the different processes by which uk law can be changed and discuss whether you agree or disagree with the quotation.

You should give examples

This question, therefore, requires you to make plain or account for the ways in which law can be changed in England. Discuss means explain, then give two or more sides of the issue and any implications.

The question requires you to consider the quotation and look at the two sides of the statement by considering the arguments both in favour of and against the quotation.

How is the case study on forced adoption in Australia in the 50?s, 60?s and 70?s and issue of human dignity?
From the case study presented.
Explain why you believe this to be an issue where human dignity is a critical factor.
Analyse at least two perspectives on this particular case. The following questions should act as a guide in your analysis.

1. What understanding of the concept of human dignity appears to be at work in each perspective?
2. What are the social attitudes, norms, or circumstances that may have influenced each perspective? To what extent do these social attitudes, norms, or circumstances impact on the understanding of human dignity in each perspective?
3. How does each perspective justify particular actions or choices with reference to human dignity?
4. In this unit, we have considered human dignity and the human person as multidimensional. If you consider in isolation the argument of each perspective in turn, what aspects of human dignity could be jeopardised by any actions arising from those perspectives?
5. Evaluation of the implications and consequences of adopting a perspective in isolation
   Perspectives are:
   Perspective 1: The practice of forced adoption makes a false distinction between the capacity of young, largely unwed, mothers to raise their own children, and the capacity of married, more financially secure, mothers, to do the same. The practice of forced adoption hindered these young mothers from demonstrating their innate dignity.
   Perspective 2: The shame and guilt, felt by women who found themselves pregnant out of wedlock and were forced or coerced into give up their babies, resulted in their loss of dignity. The national apology was intended to restore this lost dignity.
   Perspective 3: Social mores in the 1950s, 60s and 70s deemed women in particular situations to be unfit mothers. The perceived immoral actions of unmarried pregnant women led them to be treated without dignity.

The challenges associated with monitoring public health increase in developing countries. Due to a lack of a robust infrastructure in many developing nations, a considerable number of diseases and conditions go unmonitored. In today’s climate of global interconnectivity, the failure to detect an emerging threat in a developing country could very well result in a pandemic spreading around the world. This is one of several possible implications of inadequate disease surveillance. The Discussion this week is concerned with how inadequate surveillance might influence ethical decision making in developing countries.

Analyze the ethical considerations associated with insufficient surveillance. Consider your own position on who should be held responsible for public health in developing countries.

Analysis of the ethical implications of not investigating diseases/conditions in developing countries. Formulate a position on who should be held responsible for establishing, maintaining, and monitoring public health surveillance systems in developing countries.

The growing interest and significant investment in electronic surveillance systems have fuelled the demand for techniques that accurately evaluate their effectiveness. Analyze issues associated with evaluating electronic disease surveillance systems.

Analyze the issues associated with evaluating the effectiveness of electronic disease surveillance systems. Include an explanation of how you would address the interests of multiple constituencies.

Issues of Interoperability and Data Sharing Obstacles

The CDC has developed myriad informatics applications in support of disease surveillance at the federal level. Information sharing among these applications enables public health personnel to better understand disease trends that may be difficult to interpret from the examination of a single system. However, a variety of legal, ethical, and practical issues arise as a result of this sharing of information. The potential for problems is magnified when information is available to and shared among multiple systems.
post an analysis of the obstacles that impact interoperability of the disease surveillance systems. Propose ways to improve/address the legal, ethical, and practical data-sharing obstacles. Evaluate how this impacts the future of local, state, national, and international systems/agencies sharing and use of information.

Relationship between research and social change and the role of the researcher as a social change agent.

Consider the relationship between research and social change and the role of the researcher as a social change agent. You also reflect on your current research skills to determine and prepare for the next steps to take in becoming a researcher.
How do you now understand the relationship between research and social change? How do you see yourself as a social change agent?

What are your next steps in becoming a successful researcher and graduate student? What challenges do you anticipate, and how might you overcome them?
With these thoughts in mind:

An explanation of the relationship between research and social change. Then, explain the role of a researcher as an agent of positive social change. Next, describe your plans for the next steps you need to take in becoming a successful researcher and graduate student.

HIV and Pregnancy among African teen

Determine two researchable hypotheses based on your research problem (HIV and Pregnancy among African teen). For each hypothesis, identify the independent, dependent, and control variables. Moreover, estimate expected changes in the magnitude and relations between the dependent and independent variables.
