Assignment 1
Turn in a written response of a minimum 250 words for each item below. Be sure to fully address all the implications of each item. Although some level of personal commitment to your response is expected, try to avoid excessive use of "I feel..." or "I think..." statements. Attempt to imagine you are writing for a broader group of people; i.e., not just what you would do, but what all of mankind should do. Please include Title page, Abstract page, and Reference page. The rubric for grading responses is the REOS method, where R stands for Reasoning (your logic should tie together), E stands for Evidence (Your arguments which need support should be supported by mentioning the name of someone usually cited), O stands for Observation (your unique contributions, if any), and S stands for Substance (you say something meaningful and significant, in the instructor's opinion). ON YOUR PAPER PUT: R, then write this answer. Under the R put an E, then write this answer. Under the E, put the O, then write this answer and under the O put the S, then write this answer.
As a police officer who does things by the book, you observe one of the other officers one day roughing up some drug dealers and taking their drugs. It turns out that this officer is the Chief's son. It also turns out it is widely known throughout the department that this is the kind of behavior the Chief's son regularly engages in. When you turn in your report, your Sergeant tears it up and tells you to forget about it. You decide to report it higher, but then the Chief calls you in to offer you a high-status promotion if you forget about it. Do you forget about it?
