Title: Integrating Emotional Intelligence with Other Competencies for Effective Communication and Leadership in Public Sector Agencies: A Comparative Case Study Analysis
Capstone Topic – Why is Emotional Intelligence important for effective communication and leadership, and how can it be integrated with other competencies for achieving holistic growth and success?
Emotional Intelligence is a crucial component of effective communication and leadership. While some may argue that it detracts from the importance of technical skills, a balanced approach that integrates EI with other competencies is necessary for achieving holistic growth and success.
Feedback from the professor – One way to approach this topic is to narrow it to the impact of emotional intelligence on communication practices. For example, you can do a systematic review of the literature focusing on the impact of emotional intelligence on communication. The systematic review will only include only articles focused on emotional intelligence and its effect on communication. The methodology focuses on the systematic review, which is just an expanded literature review on the topic. However, in the methodology section, we will analyze the articles for common themes. Please narrow EI and communication to a case study or comparative case study where you can compare outcomes of two public sector agencies, one of which may have introduced EI concepts to improve communication and one that did not.
Please review the professor’s comments and address the capstone topic above accordingly.

Title: Ethical Considerations in Research on Police Use of Force
Until the end of the 1970s, the research process was largely unregulated. This lack of regulation allowed some scientists to either fail to consider or ignore the ethical implications of their research and to carry out horrendous experiments. For example, the U.S. Public Health Service funded a study known as the Tuskegee Experiment, which started in the 1920s and continued well into the 1970s. This study was designed to examine the progression of syphilis in poor, urban African-American males. None of the subjects were told they had syphilis, and some were treated with placebos even though a cure for this disease was available. Since that time, however, significant safeguards have been put in place to prevent these types of ethical violations. Today, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are responsible for evaluating ethical issues that might surface, especially those concerned with the protection of human subjects prior to the commencement of a research project. Multiple safeguards ensure that many of the ethical violations that might have occurred in the past are now prevented.
TO DO:
Recall the research problem you chose in Week 1
Identify one ethical issue that is relevant to that research problem.
Consider how you would address this ethical issue using ethical standards from the Code of Ethics of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS). -

“The Ethics and Dangers of Cancel Culture: A Case Study on the Cancellation of J.K. Rowling”
Based on the work you’ve done with Contrapoints’s “Canceling” video and related to our discussions on morals and ethics, you will consider on what level addressing cancel culture is a moral and/or logical issue. In your essay, you should discuss how free speech might be maintained while dealing with figures in pop culture, how bias can be avoided in attempting to prove or disprove reasonable standards for cancelation, and what responsibility critical thinkers have to refute false claims of cancelation. When you respond to the prompt, think about:
One example of a politician, pop culture icon, or celebrity who has been “canceled” (you may discuss other examples of cancelation, but not at length; this example will be your overall focus)
The grounds on which they were “canceled,” and whether those grounds are within reason (your focus here is whether this person deserves to be canceled, and why or why not)
Whether cancel culture is ethically and/or logically dangerous, and why
What steps should reasonably be taken to combat cancel culture, if combating it is the right way to go
What should have been done in the case of your chosen politician, icon, or celebrity
Because you are exploring a real life case of cancel culture, you must use a source exploring the cancelation of your chosen figure; this may include one or more of their interviews, Tweets, or set of court documents. You must also use one scholarly source to address why this cancelation was or was not justifiable. Both of these sources must be properly attributed both in in-text citations and the Works Cited.
You may not use Natalie Wynn or James Charles as examples of canceled figures (because Wynn already gave us a detailed account of why they were canceled and whether this was justified), but some examples of canceled figures you can explore may include:
DaBaby
Shia LaBeouf
J.K. Rowling
Aaron Rodgers
Ellen DeGeneres
Kris Wu
Kanye West
Marilyn Manson
Armie Hammer
R. Kelly
Gina Carano
Dave Chappelle
Colin Kaepernick
Optional: A few films have addressed the idea of cancel culture without explicitly forcing a stance on their audience. Tár and Whiplash may be thought-provoking movies for you to check out; they encourage us to explore their characters as both absolutely detestable and immensely talented people. -
“The Impact of Ethics on Professional Development: A Reflection on Principles and Values in Law & Ethics” “Applying Analytic Thinking: Making Connections and Applying Learning to a Broader Context”
In philosophy, Ethics examines morality by studying human behavior and its guiding principles. Even though there are different theories, the main idea is usually about doing the right thing. Ethical dilemmas happen when two or more principles are at odds, leading to different decisions that are influenced by the values associated with them. Clinicians will encounter ethical dilemmas in their careers, but a good understanding of ethics provides the framework to navigate them. Instructions: Discuss which principles and values have impacted you the most in Law & Ethics that will help you in your professional career.
Write a reflection using Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri font, size 12-point with 1.5 spacing, at least one page.

Title: Allocating Funds for College Scholarships: A Decision by the Texas Senate Committee on Education
I will copy and paste the instructions given by my professor. Please follow all instructions.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You are a Texas Senator on a three person Senate Committee on Education. The committee has
been given an extra $2 million by the Comptroller of Public Accounts who shows that there has
been a significant increase in tax revenue in the state. The money will go toward college
scholarships in public universities. The committee’s job is to decide on proper allocation of the
funds and make a recommendation to the full Senate.
Senator Rawls represents an economically challenged portion of urban Dallas. Senator Rawls
grew up in this neighborhood and expresses that poor people are the individuals most in need,
and that all extra resources should go to those most in need. Senator Rawls recommends that all
scholarships be need based. Senator Bentham represents and was raised in an upper middle class
portion of Houston. Senator Bentham says the money should go to the students who are
excellent high school students who want to major in STEM fields. Senator Bentham says the
investment will produce and overall healthier society and that ability to succeed in college in an
important field is more import than being in personal need because the investment is more likely
to produce more overall good in things like medical procedures, drugs, and infrastructure.
You are the third and deciding vote. In 300-400 words, explain the following in the order
outlined by the numbers below:
1. What is your decision on how to distribute the money?
2. Rawls (give to those most in need) and Bentham (give to those who will give the most back)
explain their basis of decision making in justifying their decision. Explain the basis of your
decision. Justify your decision. What will this mean in future decisions that you make as a
legislator? What are the pros and cons of your decision making process?
3. What about general experiences in your life caused you to have the core beliefs to make your
decision?
