Professional Discretion Analysis

What makes me the perfect candidate for Principal Discretion selection, is that I am a very daring person ready to take and overthrow any challenges or obstacles that I am faced with. I am a person who over comes hardships and all ways strives for success. I participate in many activities in my school and volunteer out of school. I was part of my schools volleyball team, and my team and I won first place. I all so play soccer in the Midway Red Wing league. I’m also in my schools bachata club. And I volunteer at Saint Turibius church on Saturday and Sunday. Every year I receive a pin and a certificate stating that I am in the honor roll. My personal characteristics are that I am a respectful, positive, independent, overachiever and a highly

I chose to write an essay about the “Topic of Cancer” by Christopher Hitchens. In this short autobiographical essay, Hitchens discusses his experience with Esophageal cancer. Just one day after lanching his book “Hitch-22” Hitchens was made aware of his illness, where he later describes the news as “taking me from the country of well, to the stark frontier.” It was then he chose to write about his experience for the purpose of documenting the changes that he, and his body were about to go through with chemotherapy, and also for the purpose of contemplating his current situation. The reason that I chose this story is because of my own personal experiences that I have had with many loved ones in my life. There is one case in particular that stands out in my memory, among the rest. It was when my friend of many years discovered that he had a very rare form of brain cancer. Soon after undergoing chemotherapy, he lost his battle. There are many people that believe chemotherapy at any stage is the best, and often times, the only way to cure cancer, yet others claim that chemotherapy is not the answer at all. A close analysis of recent statistics can settle this debate.

In this essay a discussion will be explored about the benefits and problems associated with police use of discretion. Which current policing strategies have the most potential for controlling officer discretion and providing accountability, and which have the least, and why is that the case? And finally, how might these issues impact the various concerns facing law enforcement today?

Discretion is the eminence of once behavior or the way of speaking in order to avoid any offensive occurrence or speaking up any private issues or information in public. It is the self-determination for someone to choose or think what should be better to be done in particular circumstances. Especially for a judge, a public official or other private party has the authority to make decisions on any legal matters or other big official subjects. Thus, a person who is authorized with the power of discretion often thinks about how to apply the given supremacy.

The etymology of the word Discretion is rooted in the early 1300’s, stemming from Old French Discrecion or Late Latin Discretionem. Discretion is the noun form of the word Discreet, which is defined as the quality of being careful about what you do and say so that others will not be offended. Discretion’s Latin roots also define it as “to discerne: to separate or distinguish.” In my opinion this sentence refers to having the ability to be prudent, which is a great quality for one to possess because it helps build character. Discretion is also an integral part of developing interpersonal skills, which in turn leads to establishing relationships and shows that you are trustworthy. In this essay, I am going to delve deeper into why discretion is an important value to have, by starting with character composition.

It exposes the hidden story of how and why the Justices from the Supreme Court ruled the way they did in 1973. For instance, when Justice Powell and Justice Rehnquist were being appointed to join the others in deciding this case it made the four liberals, on the Supreme Court already, fearful. This was because they though Justice Powell and Justice Rehnquist were going to side with the conservatives in this case. According to James Simon, who talked with Justice Blackmun, who was the one in charge of the decisions made in this case, stated that on June 1st Justice Douglas, who is a die-hard liberal, delivered a protest letter to Chief Justice Burger. He says that “Douglas refused to withdraw his dissent until Blackmun personally assured

Responsible assessment can be defined as a continual process of gaining information by getting to know the child. All teachers should practice responsible assessment by using knowledge, skill, and disposition to address the needs of young children. Teachers assess children because it provides them the needed information to provided essential help to children with learning disabilities and needs. Assessment also gives teachers a guided approach to teaching that is fitted to each individual child. The purpose of assessing young children is not merely to learn about children, but to uncover and plan for their individual learning styles, behaviors, weaknesses, skills, and personalities. Teacher’s beliefs, efforts, and ethics should guide them to

The use of discretion, and the use of force is a major issue within the police field. The law does not cover every situation that a police officer encounters. Decisions must be made very quickly, usually without time for input from another source. The exercise of discretion is not the problem; the abuse of discretion is the problem. This use of power can open many negative possibilities such as racism, gender bias, and other forms of inequality. The amount of force an officer uses depends on the level of resistance or threat an offender may pose. Using the Graham standard, officers must apply constitutional levels of force, that’s based off the circumstances of the case. In regards to corrections, the art of communication is very vital. The

Lastly, Ms. Davis is faced with a geographical and professional isolation dilemma. The reserve unit she is working for is located in Germany. The main hospital, including the mental health clinic, is required by regulation to provide services to active duty members and their dependents. Reservists and their families, by nature of their limited active duty status, only have access to the military hospital and their services when they are on orders. Geographical separation and limited services in overseas locations often create high levels of stress for reservists and their families if they are not otherwise adequately insured. Ms. Davis’ colleagues in the hospital are already working long days to meet the needs of the active duty population and their dependents, yet there are still countless members and families on the waiting list.

He was among the best in his medical school and was among the top choices to be chief resident at his attending hospital. He was very determined to be one of the best doctors with great rapport with his patients. Being on this path, one can only imagine the shock of the appearance of a life-threatening illness. Not only did cancer show Paul’s emotional changes, but it showed how the tumor progression changed him. He went from a consultant, who had a hand in his own treatment path, to the role of a patient whose choices were made by others who could think more logically and

William – Your questionnaire hits home with me. I have witness providers poorly explain procedures, treatments and medication use both in practice and personally. I think question 5 could be expanded to state “My doctor has explained these options in ways that I understand, including consequences of no treatment at all”. My reason for saying this is because there are times, such as in the treatment of aggressive cancer, when a patient’s life may not really be prolonged by treating their cancer. Their life may be extended only a few weeks or months, but the treatments make them so sick, they do not enjoy any of the last months of their lives. I watched this happen to my mother-in-law. She had metastatic small cell lung cancer that had spread

The first step of the Ethical Decision-Making Procedure is stated as, “1.0 Become Aware of Dilemma” (McNamara). According to the given case scenario, the dilemma is clearly stated. It reads that the client (mother) does not believe in rewards or support the use of them for her son. The mother is going against what the BCBA believes in and stands for, thus causing a direct dilemma. Removing reinforcers is not feasible for the professional BCBA, and this must be properly addressed with the client. Situations like these are where the Ethical Compliance Code comes into place for the sake of the clients and professionals involved.

I chose to compare the CEC Professional Ethical Principles with the ethical code from the American Academy of Special Education. I noticed as I was reading that some of their ethical codes are similar in their commitment to provide the child with the best education possible. Creating a safe environment for the child at all times, treating the child with dignity, respecting their culture, language and background. The importance of continuous improvement in education for the teachers as a way to progress the learning outcomes of individual with exceptionalities. Another similarity is how both ethical code do not encourage the corporal punishment of individuals with exceptionalities, protecting the child physically

Administrative discretion is a discretionary action is informal and, therefore, unprotected by the safeguards inherent in formal procedure. A public official, for example, has administrative discretion when he or she has the freedom to make a choice among potential courses of action. Abuse of Discretion is the failure to exercise reasonable judgment or discretion. It might provide a Cause of Action for an unconstitutional invasion of rights protected by the “due process clause” of the Constitution (West's Encyclopedia of American Law, edition 2.
