Answer:

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

Explanation:

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment was a social research that sought to find out the natural history of syphilis, with the purpose of justifying treatment programs for blacks.

Termed as “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male.” It started in 1932, and lasted till 1972, when it was discovered that the reasearch was conducted without the benefit of patients’ informed consent.

Following a governmental review of the study, it was concluded that, the subjects involved in the research had been misled and had not been given all the facts required to provide informed consent, hence, the study was considered to be "ETHICALLY UNJUSTIFIED" that is, the knowledge acquired was minute when compared with the risks the study posed for its subjects.

Therefore, The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment was an example of a major ethical mistake in the history of social research.

Answer:

Correct Answer:

d. illiberal regime

Explanation:

In the case of Country X, it could be classified to fall into illiberal regime due to the nature of the relationship between the central government, its military and its citizens.

For example, the central government fulfills its duty of holding an election for legislature while at same time limiting the activities of the election like specifying he number of political parties to contest the election. On the other-hand, the military ensures that there would be no dissident voice of oppositions to the activities of the government.

It also ensures that, absolute loyalty is maintained by the citizens towards the government. These actions go ahead to show that, Country X is not running a liberal government for the people but rather an illiberal regime.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Debates on Right to Equality often spring up when it comes to such programs.

Explanation:

The issues with Affirmative Action come from its inability to help the people who really need it but are too poor to even have the resources to be in a position to use it while people who benefit from it sometimes do not need it or have a generation that used affirmative action and no longer needs it.

humanistic.

Explanation:

Humanistic psychology focuses on the healthy development of an individual. Instead of paying close or even restricted attention to dysfunctions, the humanistic approach focuses instead on well-being. It respects each person's individuality and needs, and it understands behavior in a less deterministic way than other schools. Behavior is influenced by feelings, which explains why Sheree's psychologist thinks love and acceptance are an important part of Sheree's healing.
