Funding El Salvador’s Civil War: The Clash of U.S. Executive and Legislative Branches (student version)
Get PDFThis open educational resource was developed using resources from Suffolk University\u27s Moakley Archive. The primary sources selected for this lesson provide insight on a crucial moment in late twentieth-century American foreign diplomacy when the executive and legislative branches debated U.S. interests in El Salvador during the 1980s and ‘90s. By closely reading these documents students will be able to: identify the positions taken by the executive and legislative branches positions on U.S. interests in El Salvador during the 1980s and ‘90s; identify and differentiate government stakeholders’ points of view; and develop the skill of close textual analysis.
This includes an instructor version and one for students.
Target Audience: ideal for undergraduate students in 100- and 200-level courses.
Time needed: 15 minutes in class 1, and 75 minutes in class 2
Learning Goals
1. Identify the positions taken by the executive and legislative branches positions on U.S. interests in El Salvador during the 1980s and 1990s
2. Understand that public policymaking is contested
3. Evaluate both the information and its sourceshttps://dc.suffolk.edu/archive-oer/1001/thumbnail.jp
The Limits of Moral Argument: Reason and Conviction in Tadros\u27 Philosophy of Punishment (with Response by Victor Tadros)
Get PDFFor generations, philosophers of punishment have sought to revise or combine established theories of punishment in a way that could reconcile the utilitarian aims of punishment with the demands of deontological justice. Victor Tadros’ recent work addresses the same problem, but answers it with an entirely original theory of punishment based on the duties criminals acquire by committing their crimes. The unexpected appearance of a new rationale for punishment has already inspired a robust dialogue between Tadros and his critics on many of the individual claims that, linked together, comprise his argument. This critique focuses instead on Tadros’ theory as a whole and the methodology he uses to support it. It proposes that Tadros’ argumentative strategy can’t justify his rationale by virtue of (1) the extent and complexity of the moral reasoning he invokes, (2) the counter-intuitive results his theory produces in an array of specific cases, and (3) the superiority of a negative-retributivist account in which moral reasoning and intuitive judgments, and the principles and applications that flow from each, are coherent and mutually supportive. Victor Tadros responds to these arguments in an essay following this critique

Understanding Non-Suicidal Self-Injury on a Child Inpatient Unit: a Mixed-Methods Study
Get PDFNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the direct, deliberate destruction of body tissue without suicidal intent (Nock & Favazza, 2009). Age of onset, based primarily on retrospective reports, commonly occurs between twelve and fourteen years old (e.g., Jacobson & Gould, 2007). Recent efforts have examined NSSI among children directly (Barrocas et al., 2012; Esposito-Smythers et al., 2010). The current study, a mixed-methods approach, examined NSSI among a sample of children treated on a psychiatric inpatient unit. Archival chart reviews assessed current/lifetime NSSI behaviors, demographic data, current/lifetime suicidal ideation and attempts, and self-reported clinical rating scales. Semi-structured interviews with self- injuring children assessed phenomenology (e.g., age of onset, discovery of NSSI, emotions/thoughts, triggers) and the functions of NSSI. NSSI was highly prevalent in this sample; 63.9% (n = 78; 47 boys, 31 girls) of inpatient children, age nine to twelve years old, had past or current NSSI documented in their medical charts. NSSI+ participants were found to report significantly higher depressive scores and significantly higher anger scores compared to NSSI- participants (ps \u3c .05). Similarly, among the interviewed children (n = 7), they reported mostly internal (e.g., affect regulation) reasons for engaging in NSSI as well as bullying and family stressors triggering their NSSI behaviors. These findings indicate that NSSI is evident among psychiatrically impaired children as young as nine years old. In addition, depression and anger may play a role in the onset or maintenance of NSSI behavior among youth. Findings show many similarities between children and adolescents engaging in NSSI. Recognizing that NSSI may occur much earlier than previously thought and understanding how psychiatric distress (i.e., depression, anger) contributes to NSSI will inform better prevention and intervention treatments targeting NSSI. This study highlights that children are engaging in NSSI at much younger ages than previously thought, and are just as psychiatrically impaired as adolescents
