The rationale for this current trend cannot be justified based on evidence from developmental psychology, the evidence of consistent positive effects for particular intervention strategies, and ethical arguments for justification of punishment. The rationale in actuality reflects the selective manipulation of the alternative conceptions of young people as dependent and vulnerable or as autonomous and responsible to continue to justify policies that entail cultural and racial discrimination. Discretionary decisions at various stages of the justice process amplify racial disparities as minority youths proceed through the system and result in more severe dispositions than for comparable White youths.

This paradox appears to have three equally plausible, yet incompatible, solutions. We begin by showing two facts, the random chords referred to in Bertrand's paradox are homogeneously distributed and there is no disagreement among people on this point. Based on these facts, we rigorously prove that two of the three alleged answers are not sound because of their false assumptions and that only one solution is correct. The paradox is therefore no longer paradoxical. We also reveal two significant stumbling blocks that have persistently caused puzzles with regard to this paradox: 1) misunderstanding of the nature of homogeneously distributed chords, and 2) a disparity between the problem as originally conceived in the mind and its subsequent representation. We conclude by presenting our reflections on the subtleties of the paradox and on some prevalent misconceptions that have historically plagued attempts to resolve it.

Yet, with all the fanfare and publicity attached to these charges, there has been surprisingly little written about what we even mean by the term. It clearly matters a great deal to us. An act of betrayal makes us appreciate Dante's reserving the innermost ring of the Inferno for the betrayers. We can even say there is a characteristic "feel" to betrayal. The betrayed experience powerful sensations of violation; they feel used and damaged. Betrayal, however, elicits more than strong feelings. Psychologists offer clinical evidence attesting to the devastating effects of betrayal. [1] Betrayal acts as an assault on the integrity of individuals, affecting the capacity to trust, undermining confidence in judgment, and contracting the possibilities of the world by increasing distrust and scepticism.

Because of these factors, philosophers have the potential to make excellent academic advisors, and they can broaden and enrich the theoretical investigations into the nature of academic advising. Philosophers can and should embrace the field of academic advising, both as a practice that is critical to a successful academe and as a potential research area. The reverse is also true: Any advisor would benefit from the study of philosophy.

This situation, however, could change. More physicians are either joining unions or seriously discussing doing so. The National Guild for Medical Providers, for example, is actively trying to expand its membership of 11,000 doctors in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire into Illinois, California, New Jersey, Colorado, Texas, and South Carolina. The Federation of Physicians and Dentists, with 2,500 members in Florida and Connecticut, is trying to establish itself in Seattle, Las Vegas, Tucson, and Philadelphia. Although unions are neither necessary nor sufficient conditions for strikes, if physician unions do become more prevalent, the potential for collective work actions, including strikes, increases.
