The last symptom of groupthink in this case study happened when the all members of the group decide to turn in the assignment despite their earlier feelings and attitudes. The outcome is that the group gets a C- instead of the A they thought they would be getting because their group “leader” laughed off the concern of a new group member. The fact the two new members did not voice their opinion earlier due to groupthink may have cost the group a better grade. 2. The specific examples in this case study that exemplify these symptoms are how that Tom, Susie, and Richard all formed a plan without the consideration or input from the two new members of the group – Mark and Betty.
Others did not feel that they even had the choice to stop, when in reality there were no incentives and neither were they threatened to stay. Some tried to explain these reactions by saying that all people have violent and aggressive desires. But, this theory was proved wrong by simply allowing the teacher to choose the voltage of the shock to the learner. Thirty-eight out of forty stopped at the first sign of pain. Milgram discusses this experiment and explains these results as, “Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs…” (113).
The declaration also says the subjects should be volunteer's, in which these men were not exactly volunteering. The men came forward and agreed to the study because they were deceived of its real meaning and were enticed by free medical care. The wrongs of the Tuskegee study 3 The declaration then continues by saying the investigating team should discontinue research if it seems harmful to the subject, in this case the doctor's continued with the study, withholding treatment from the men knowing this disease could eventually kill them. These actions leave me to believe the doctor's had no concern for the over-all well being of their patients. Science and society should never take precedence over the well-being of the subject, yet in The Tuskegee Study the PHS was more worried about what their findings could do for science then they were with their participants health condition.
The guards afterwards confessed that they had become a person they were not. The participants realized through this experiment that they were capable of inhumane behavior, which they had never imagined they could ever engage in. This could be best explained by the concept of cognitive dissonance. Through cognitive dissonance, a person experiences a change of beliefs that can often be an important part of their identity, due to environmental changes. These prison guards claimed that they would have never known they could be capable of such aggressive and cruel behavior.
However, the case files reflected face-to-face contact with all of her clients, despite what her clients stated. When Shannon investigated further, she found that the client notes were all at the same day and time, which is unlikely. Further, several of Janet’s clients needed referrals for counseling, but Janet never completed them and has not followed up to ensure her clients are receiving the necessary services. Janet is a close friend of Shannon. Shannon does not want to get Janet in trouble but realizes something must be done.
I had clothes, and they had none. I decided [this] was what it meant to be a slave…you had no claim on [your] future” (pg.192). I think that Lindo is a good man. He tried to save Aminata from Appleby and he swore he tried to buy her baby too but Appleby didn’t want that to happen. I honestly think his intensions are good, but the people around him are not.
The benefits of chemotherapy are that it can help to reduce pain and other problems caused by lung cancer. There are no DNR/DNI orders to be considered. The Physician Assistant believes that the patient should be notified but is not sure how the news will affect his wife and children. A utilitarian viewpoint may be used to sanction unfairness and the violation of the patient’s rights in order to sustain his happiness. The patient’s autonomy was in violation because he was not informed and has risked making a healthcare choice not reflective of his values or wishes.
Instead of curing all of the participants, they continued to recruit people and continue to not inform them about the risks that they would be experiencing. The researchers did not pay any regards to the ethical rules that come along with such an experiment. They not only disregarded what the rights of the medical research, but they also disregarded the human rights of all of the people involved (Poythress, Epstein, & Stiles, 2011). Due to the fact that they were not giving the proper treatment to the participants, there were several deaths, as well as non-participants who became infected because they were in contact with a participant from the research. There were also individuals that had lost their lives from similar
They would secretly inject themselves with the drug hiding in a bathroom stall hoping no one would notice. They believed they were becoming their dream image of themselves. Their performance was highly improving and the pressure to perform wasn’t there anymore. But what they did not notice was how nobody wanted to be around them because if something slightly bothered one of these people he or she would throw a tantrum like an infant child, but because of their size it could be dangerous. People knew and people avoided them just because wherever they went anger
The fact that thieves or murderers are not caused by meth. There are traits of the person prior to the use of meth. The only change in a person who uses meth is in their control of anger and humor. This is due to the lack of sufficient endorphins needed to allow a normal medium. As I started to look on line and in articles for my essay, I tock a second and than thought to my self why not go and ask society what they thought about the use and the damage it has on there loved one’s.
