Option 1: 

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the Fourteenth Amendment both aim to address issues of equality, but they focus on separate concepts. The ERA, first proposed in 1923, is explicitly targeted at gender-based discrimination, seeking to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex “The Equal Rights Amendment would put protection for women and other marginalized genders directly into the United States Constitution.” (MacKinnon & Crenshaw, 2019).  In contrast, the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, is a broader constitutional provision that encompasses various civil rights issues, including the Equal Protection Clause, which ensures equal protection under the law without specifying gender “The U.S. The Supreme Court has consistently ruled for decades that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects women from unequal treatment under the law.” (Herrod et al., 2021). While both amendments share the goal of promoting equality, the ERA is specifically concerned with gender equality, whereas the Fourteenth Amendment has a broader scope, addressing a range of civil rights issues such as race, gender, and other forms of discrimination.

My Plan Reflection

Introduction

There are so many potential careers in healthcare, choosing one that will make you happy means finding one that fits your personality as well as your goals. The earlier you plan for the career you want the more successful you will be in pursuing it. There are many things to consider when thinking about a career, of course, there are the skills and education you need to have, which we will discuss in depth in this course, but there are other questions to consider as well. What do you want to do every day? Would you like to sit at a desk, work with people one-on-one or would you rather work with groups? Do you like teaching? For example, where do you want to work, a hospital, office, or community center?  What kind of people do you want to work with, children, adults, or the elderly? Is there a specific segment of the population you enjoy working with such as veterans, special needs children, or handicapped? Do you want to travel or would you rather have a job that keeps you in one setting all day or in a residential facility?   In this chapter, you should think about the aspects of your career that you want to shape your life and how you work.  You will begin by analyzing your personality so you can narrow down career choices based on compatibility with your personality.  By the end of this chapter, we hope you have a checklist of important things to make choosing a career easier for you.

Briefly, in one paragraph (no more), describe your feelings about your My Plan results. Specifically: How did you feel about the results? Were you surprised by any aspect of the results? Were some aspects what you expected? BE SPECIFIC about your feelings. Thinking back to the last module, when you submitted your initial thoughts on your chosen career, how well do the results align with your current career intentions? As a result of the career assessments, are you considering any changes to your career plans?

ethical decision

/in /by

Eleanor Thompson, a 72-year-old woman, has been battling an aggressive form of ovarian cancer for the past three years. Despite undergoing multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, her condition has deteriorated, and she is now experiencing severe pain and suffering. Eleanor’s oncologist, Dr. Samuel Martinez, has presented the family with the option of another experimental treatment, but he has also suggested considering transitioning to palliative care. Eleanor’s family is deeply divided on the decision. Her eldest daughter, Maria, believes that every possible treatment should be pursued, holding onto hope for a miracle. She argues that her mother has always been a fighter and would want to continue the battle against her illness. On the other hand, Eleanor’s son, Michael, feels that his mother has suffered enough. He believes that transitioning to palliative care would allow her to spend her remaining days in comfort and peace. Caught in the middle is Eleanor’s husband of 50 years, Robert. He is torn between wanting to honor his wife’s fighting spirit, desiring to ease her pain, and the painful finality of either decision. The healthcare team must navigate a complex ethical landscape. Beneficence, the principle of doing good, pushes the team to consider what would truly benefit Eleanor in terms of quality of life. Non-maleficence, or “do no harm,” raises questions about the potential suffering Eleanor might endure with further aggressive treatments. Lastly, the principle of justice requires the team to treat Eleanor fairly and equitably, ensuring her needs are met regardless of family disagreements.
