Read Chapters 3 & 4 Assignment for “The New Jim Crow”The following is information regarding your reading assignment and written assignment for each week of our book read. Each week you will need to read two chapters and answer the discussion questions below. Answers for each question should be at least 200 words. Each week you will answer 2-4 questions. Some questions will have multiple parts. You should avoid answering with short yes/no answers. These are discussion questions designed to make you reflect on the information you are reading and to think through your answers. Answers should flow as if they were short “essay” papers.Book Reading: Chapters 3 and 4: Answers for Each Question Should Be At Least 200 Words Each.Question 5: “Research conducted by the Sentencing Project have found that countries that are the most racially and ethnically diverse are the most punitive. Whereas the most homogeneous countries are the least punitive. Why do you think that is?”Question 6: “What are the parallels between the ‘get tough’ movement aimed at immigrants and ‘get tough’ laws aimed at African Americans?”

Your task is – in 400-500 words – to reconstruct an argument from one of the philosophers we discussed and develop a potential objection to it. That is, we want you to (i) explain how a philosophical argument is meant to work, and (ii) point out a potential flaw in the argument. Finish Hobbes’s reading, then reconstruct and critique the argument: Hobbes’ argument that it is always rational to act justly if it is possible to do so. This is articulated as a critique of ‘the fool’ and his actions (especially on pp.66-7 of the reading). Criticizing an argument is no easy task. It takes both ingenuity and rigor.  In order to criticize an argument effectively, you must first explain the argument well. So, it is critical to spend time (i) identifying the question the author is concerned with, (ii) stating the author’s answer (or conclusion) to the question, and especially (iii) explaining the support (or premises) that the author provides for the answer. When coming up with an objection or criticism, one important thing to remember is that effective criticism does NOT attack the answer or conclusion of the author, at least not directly. Rather an effective criticism attacks the support or premises that uphold the answer. If you take out even just one of the premises, the conclusion will necessarily fall along with it. 

“Groups offer a number of advantages over individual or other counselling methods including creating a sense of universality or the understanding that clients are not alone in their struggles” (Yalom & Lesczc, 2005). The use of group treatment in treatment recovery centres is often the primary mode of treatment and offers a number of advantages. Clients undergoing individual treatment may not receive the necessary support or feedback from individuals who have gone through similar situations who might help in the recovery process (Cuizon, 2009). Building a support network of professionals, peers, and family members are fundamental when building a solid relapse prevention plan. Creating a support network and maintaining it may provide the best long-term results. Prevention programs are most often conducted in a group setting when clients are developing effective strategies for recovery (Weiss, Jaffee, de Menil, & Cogley, 2004). Addiction is also a disease of isolation, so group support has a fundamental function of making the addiction public and requiring people with problems with addiction to become more accountable for choices that they make in persisting with destructive and addictive behaviours. For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Consider the role that groups and communities might play in addiction recovery and possible ways in which social interactions might help an individual in recovery maintain sobriety. In addition, think about your own views concerning society’s obligations toward individuals suffering from addiction. Post a 300-word paper detailing: Why society has an obligation to help individuals with addiction. Explain why and how. Then explain three ways that community support or a group approach may assist in the recovery of clients with problems with addiction. Support your response using the resources and current literature.
