1)In your opinion, a) what is the origin or basis of what we consider right and wrong? 

b) How do you determine your actions when considering a choice between two options, one of which may benefit you more but be somewhat unethical (for example, keeping the extra money the ATM gave you by mistake) and another which may be the right thing to do, but not so beneficial? 

c) Why is there often a difference between what we espouse as right and wrong and how we behave? What do you think about Bobby’s story?

2) Consider the relationship between ethics, values and choices. How do you make ethical choices that reflect your values? Give an example.

3)Comment on the following:

a. After reading your lecture notes for this week, do you believe competition in criminal justice is a “good” thing, ethically speaking? Why or why not? Comment on this while considering what Chapter 6 says about the social contract and reconsidering justice.

b. Comment on the Stanford Prison experiment in terms of human universals, empathy and human intuition as discussion in Chapter 6. Was it moral to conduct in the first place? Was it right to stop it when it was stopped? What do you think are some of the implications of this experiment for udnerstanding humany ethical behavior? 

Case Study 1: Forecasting

Due Week 5 and worth 75 points

Using the Northern College Health Services visit volume in Appendix 6-1 on page 113 of the textbook, for this assignment, you will be providing a forecast of the number of clinic visits for November 2008 using the average change, confidence interval, average percent change, moving averages, and exponential smoothing forecasting methods.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Explain each step in the forecasting process for each method.
2. Provide a brief summary of your researched health services organizations implementing the forecasting methods.
3. Provide a forecast of the number of clinic visits for November 2008 using each method of the forecasting process.
4. Conclude which forecasting method provides the best forecast, and provide a rationale for your conclusion.
