Does Restorative Justice work?

You will prepare an academic essay that addresses the following question: Does restorative justice work?  In doing so students will need to consider the contemporary empirical and theoretical research literature on restorative justice to: 1) discuss debates in the field over the effectiveness of restorative justice, and 2) critically assess the growing amount of empirical evidence on restorative justice processes and its impact on participants.

To satisfy the above literature you will need to do extensive research so that you are effectively and faithfully presenting the current ‘thinking’ in relation to each topic. Each key point you make needs to be validated with empirical research – this is what will validate your argument and makes your work persuasive. It would be best if you spent more time constructing effective sentences. Each sentence needs to address an assessment task directly. Please go through all documents uploaded and more importantly the marking criteria and follow each guideline. If you need clarity with anything. Please take you time with this task as the stakes are high.

Name that Fallacy

A fallacy is a defective argument, where the reasons for a conclusion may sound compelling, but the justification is not present in the premises. What was the last fallacy you encountered? What was the context? Be sure to identify the fallacy (review the required video) and specifically explain how the fallacy is evident in your example.

Craft a post in which you critically examine your chosen fallacy. Name the fallacy you have identified and show us how it is evident in your example.

**** Biden’s false claims about the vaccine*****

AP FACT CHECK: Biden goes too far in assurances on vaccines

CALVIN WOODWARD and HOPE YEN

“President Joe Biden offered an absolute guarantee Wednesday that people who get their COVID-19 vaccines are completely protected from infection, sickness and death from the coronavirus. The reality is not that cut and dried.”

BIDEN: “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the IC unit, and you’re not going to die.” — town hall.

The Elgin Marble Controversy

AFTER reading “London’s British Museum won’t return the Elgin marbles… ”  and watching “Rescued or Seized…” answer the following questions in 3-5 sentences each. Number each of your answers in accordance to the question. Answer in your own words and use quotes from the article when necessary. 

  1. Having watched and read about the controversy surrounding the Acropolis sculptures, how did the British Museum obtain these marbles?
  2. How did the marbles get their name? How is this name problematic? Consider how the name “Venus of Willendorf” (figure 1-5) is inappropriate and misleading.
    3. The British Museum says that technically they do not own the marbles. Who does? How is this problematic? Use evidence to support your article
  3. The museum as an institution plays a particular role in preserving and presenting history. How does the British Museum display the Acropolis marbles? How does the Acropolis Museum display their collection of the marbles?
  4. Are either of these display methods appropriate to the complicated history of the marbles? Use evidence from the article or video to support your answer.
  5. Is it ethical for the British Museum to hold on to the Acropolis marbles? SINCE these marbles are their legal property, should they keep the marbles or return them? Use evidence from the article or video to support your answer

Read the following article, watch the video, and answer the questions. Answers MUST be 3-5 sentences long. You do not have to write the question. Number each Answer. The questions are attached. Thank You.

Math/Physic/Economic/Statistic Problems – What is the probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles

A tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20,000 miles or “you get a new set of tires.” In its experience, a set of these tires lasts on average 26,000 miles with a standard deviation of 5,000 miles. Assume that the wear is normally distributed. The manufacturer profits $200 on each set sold, and replacing a set costs the manufacturer $400.

(a) What is the probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles?

(b) What is the probability that the manufacturer turns a profit on selling a set to one customer?

(c) If the manufacturer sells 500 sets of tires, what is the probability that it earns a profit after paying for any replacements? Assume that the purchases are made around the country and that the drivers experience independent amounts of wear.

Critically explain Inductive Reasoning

Craft a post in which you critically examine a contemporary example of the use of inductive reasoning. In your critical examination, carefully review the example you have provided and summarize your conclusions: did the inductive method work well, or did it fail to resolve the problem at hand (and if so, say why).

Do a comparison analysis presentation on insurance providers within the Gulf Cooperation Council

Insurance Providers

As a manager, you have been chosen to present information on two choices for your company’s new health insurance carrier for employees. Assume you are also able to use an insurer within the Gulf Cooperation Council. Research the various providers in Saudi Arabia and choose one that meets the needs of your company. Then, choose another country within the Gulf Corporation Council and locate a similar insurance provider option. Create a comparison
analysis presentation about both insurance providers. Be sure to include the following:
• The different benefits available to the employees through their health insurance plan;
• The responsibility of the employer in terms of premiums;
• The advantages and benefits of both plans;
• How Saudi Arabia and the other GCC country you chose fund national health services;
