Successful intercultural communication requires an understanding of cultural fluency. In this assignment, you will reflect on your current cultural fluency by describing what cultural fluency is. You will also discuss ways you can elevate your cultural fluency using one of the conflicts outlined in the project. This assignment is part of Part Two of the project. This assignment will allow you to further explore the importance of cultural fluency and self-awareness and consider how you can use these concepts to communicate and collaborate more effectively with others.

Ethics: Dilemmas of Loyalty

Ethics: Dilemmas of Loyalty
First, read chapter 9 from Justice by Michael Sandel. Linked here:
https://iasbaba.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Michael_Sandel-_Justice-_What_s_the_Right_Thing_to_Do.pdf
Next, watch the lecture here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIO1M8mpU9M
Then, complete both of the following tasks (#1 and #2):
-First, in the lecture, I make some claims. I am genuinely trying to sort through some of these ethical issues along with you, therefore I welcome your critique and feedback. Do either of the following:
–Option one: if you disagree with one of the following claims I made, explain why:
—The only way to maximize welfare is to respect freedom.
—The force of law cannot enforce goodness (promote virtue), only punish badness. Virtue must be promoted within smaller groups and institutions like churches, clubs, schools, families, and peer groups.
—The force of law should only enforce obligations derived from “natural duties” and not “obligations of solidarity.”
–Option two: if you agree with all of the claims I made above, tell how we ought to think about voluntary obligations. What are the relationships between voluntary obligations and the force of law, the respect of freedom, and the cultivation of virtue? Should the force of law enforce all or only some voluntary obligations? If it is only some obligations, how do we decide which voluntary obligations should be enforced by law? Note: I am not asking whether the law should force us to undertake certain voluntary obligations, but should the law have a role in punishing people who break their voluntary obligations?
– Second, regarding obligations of solidarity, there is one of two options. Defend which approach to obligations of solidarity seems correct:
— Option one: obligations of solidarity don’t actually exist. When we observe people performing actions of solidarity, we are observing their inherent bias. For example, a parent choosing to save their drowning child over another drowning child is a demonstration of the parent’s bias in favor of their child, but the parent is not morally obligated to save their child over another child.
— Option two: obligations of solidarity actually exist, and with belonging comes responsibility. Moral obligations can be imposed on us without our consent. For example, a parent is morally obligated to save their drowning child over another drowning child.

Overview
In this assignment, you will explore key concepts related to social justice, including justice, fairness, equality, and bias. You will also explore how narratives affect perceptions of social justice and core principles of social justice. This part of the project will be the basis for the rest of your project and will help you apply your knowledge of concepts related to social justice.
Directions
First, consult the Project Guidelines and Rubric to review the scope of the project and the provided scenarios. Next, review the Scenario Profiles document, which provides information related to the scenarios and potential conflicts, and select a scenario. (You will select and analyze one of the three conflicts associated with your chosen scenario in a later module.) Choose a scenario for this assignment carefully, because you will use the same scenario for the project. Then, with your chosen scenario in mind, address the assignment prompts by completing Part One in the Project Template. The following is a preview of the scenarios and conflicts:
Scenario 1 – School
You are interacting with a very diverse group of peers this term who come from different cultures, socioeconomic statuses, ability levels, learning styles, career goals, and more.
Scenario 2 – Personal
It’s the time of year when you gather with friends and family. Recent events in the news that impact different cultures have caused differences of opinion related to issues of justice and fairness, creating conflict with those you care about. You are hosting the next holiday celebration with your family members and friends with diverse thoughts and opinions.
Scenario 3 – Workplace
The organization you work for is expanding and acquiring an international business, increasing the total employee population from 500 to 10,000. Employees are located in multiple states and countries across the world.
Note: You can find the Project Template linked in the What to Submit section. You can find the Project Guidelines and Rubric and the Scenario Profiles document linked in the Supporting Materials section.
Specifically, you must address the following:
Project: Part One: Social Justice
Explain the difference between justice, fairness, and equality in the scenario.
Describe how bias can influence your perception of social justice in the scenario.
Describe how different narratives in society can impact your perception of social justice.
Describe the core principles of social justice in the scenario.
What to Submit
Submit your Project Template for grading. You will use the same Project Template for all of the project drafts and for the project. For this assignment, the Module Two Project Draft, you will complete Part One of the Project Template. You do not need to complete Part Two and Part Three of the template for this assignment. Additionally, no sources are required.

Explain the significance of political legitimacy. What are some features associated with political legitimacy the average person would expect to observe? Are there any ways (methods or metrics) to determine to what degree / extent a society is politically legitimate? Is it necessary that a political legitimate society is also fully just?

Although we have had a record turnout in the past three elections (2018. 2020 and 2022), we have also experienced a violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, a former U.S. President (Donald Trump) that has yet to accept the results of the 2020 election and a politically divided electorate (Democrat vs. Republicans) that views the opposing political party as threat to democracy. How hopeful or hopeless are you about the future of our democracy? Do you think these issues will become better or worse? Develop an analysis that places these issues within the larger sociological context of race/ethnicity, social class and gender as it relates to voting and U.S. politics.
