As a public health nurse at a free clinic, you are assessing and interviewing a 21-year-old woman who has come to the clinic because she doesn’t have any energy and hasn’t felt good in weeks. During the interview, you learn that she averages one meal per day, smokes up to two packs of cigarettes per day, and rummages through trash to find items she can sell to purchase food, snacks, and cigarettes. She admits to using street drugs every once in a while when she can find someone who will share with her. She admits her life is a mess and she doesn’t know how to make it better.

  • What data can you gather based on available client information?
  • What questions should you ask yourself while interviewing this client?
  • During planning, how can you, as the nurse, best assist this client?
  • What are the potential strategies that would assist the client to a “better” life?

Your paper should be 2 pages in length, in APA format, typed in Times New Roman with 12-point font, and double-spaced with 1” margins. If outside sources are used, they must be cited appropriately

Week 5: Student Response To Discussion 1 And 2

  Conglomerates and Market Domination

The purpose of this discussion is to help you understand the role of corporations in the modern world while evaluating ethical aspects of corporate market domination. Prepare and post a response to the following prompts:

· Describe the difference between a corporation and a conglomerate.

·

As nouns the difference between corporation and conglomerate

is that corporation is a group of individuals, created by law or under authority of law, having a continuous existence independent of the existences of its members, and powers and liabilities distinct from those of its members while conglomerate is a cluster of heterogeneous things.

As a adjective conglomerate is clustered together into a mass.

As a verb conglomerate is to combine together into a larger mass. (Wikidiff.com)

I am not going to pretend to know or understand what conglomerates mean, to my knowledge its sounds like goulash to me something just thrown together. A conglomerate is the combination of two or more corporations engaged in entirely different businesses that fall under one corporate group, usually involving a parent company and many subsidiaries. Often, a conglomerate is a multi-industry company. Conglomerates are often large and multinational.

Market Domination is the internal and external forces that can affect the longevity of a products and services your business offers. Understanding how your business excels where your competition does not is a crucial element in dominating the market. (Marketdominationllc.com)

· Consider the ethics of media conglomerates in the United States. What are the ethical advantages and disadvantages of allowing large conglomerates to control the mass media? What are alternative ways the media might be organized that would be more ethical or moral? Explain your reasoning using both concepts from the course and academic resources.

·

Allowing large conglomerates to control the mass media has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages include minimal control by the government. If conglomerates control the mass media, and it is the people who decide what they want to see, then the control of the government is reduced.

GEN 103 Week 5 Assignment

Ashford 6: – Week 5 – Final Paper

Annotated Bibliography

In Week One of the course, you were asked to develop a research question and begin finding various sources that relate to that question. You will use the library sources and websites you have collected this week to create your “Annotated Bibliography” Final Paper. An annotated bibliography can serve various purposes. Sometimes annotated bibliographies are used as a broad survey of a research topic. They can also be used to demonstrate the research that you have done on a specific topic. A third use of an annotated bibliography is to explore a specific subtopic in more detail. Annotated bibliographies only include strong sources. Watch the video below to understand the process.

In order to complete this assignment, focus on the research question you developed in Week One. Remember that you can use your annotated bibliography to broadly explore your research question. The point of exploring the topic is to hone your research question and learn more about the topic in general. Before beginning, you may wish to review the suggested structure for organizing your Annotated Bibliography below under “Creating The Annotated Bibliography.”

First, explain your research topic and why you chose this topic. This can be done in three to four sentences. You will be gathering various types of sources (i.e., two websites, three scholarly articles, and one scholarly book) that relate directly to the topic that you chose.

After explaining your topic and why you chose it, you will annotate each source (i.e., two websites, three scholarly articles, and one scholarly book). The Final Paper will include a total of six sources. Each annotation must have the following content:

  • Citation:      Include a proper APA reference list entry.
  • Purpose:      Below the reference list entry in the first sentence of the annotation,      explain the purpose or the thesis of the source.
  • Content:      After explaining the purpose/thesis, describe the content and elements of      the source.
  • Evidence: After      explaining the overall structure of the source, summarize the evidence      that the author uses to support his or her claims. Does the author use      numbers, statistics, historical documents, intellectuals from the past,      and so forth?
  • Relation:      Explain how the source relates to other sources you have found on this      topic throughout the course. Point out how it contradicts or supports      these sources.

Each annotation should be between 100 and 150 words. After you complete the annotation, the second thing that you will do is use the handout, Evaluating Information – Applying the CRAAP Test, to evaluate the source. Remember that CRAAP stands for Currency, Relevance, Accuracy, Authority, and Purpose. You will write another 100 to 150 word paragraph immediately following the annotation in which you evaluate the source and explain the strengths of the source. At the end of the paragraph, you will explain why you would feel confident using the source in a larger research paper.

View this Description: Document iconAnnotated Bibliography Template Example to guide you as you complete this assignment.

You may use the Description: Save iconAnnotated Bibliography Template to help format your work. If you use the template, be sure to refer back to the instructions for the assignment to ensure all elements are addressed as required.

Group And Family Dynamics

/in /by

When working with families and groups the priority is for the social worker to understand the process that is taking place.  In both situations there is the overt (clearly stated) dynamics and the covert (hidden) dynamics.  The content (what is being said) in both settings is what is open and stated.  The process (how it is being said) is the unspoken information; what is underneath the interaction is what the social worker needs to explore in both groups and family systems.

For this Discussion, watch the video segments of a group and a family session provided in required resources.

Post the following:

  • Describe the group dynamic (communication, cohesion, social integration, influence) of the group shown in the required media.
  • Explain how this group’s dynamics may influence treatment.
  • A description of the family dynamic (communication, cohesion, social integration, influence) of the family shown in the required media.
  • Explain how this family’s dynamics may influence treatment.
  • Explain any similarities or differences when assessing dynamics in a group versus a family and how those dynamics may affect treatment.

Final Assignment

Please answer ONE of the following questions in roughly six pages of your own original writing. Your answer must engage meaningfully with at least THREE readings from the course syllabus (with appropriate citations to the authors’ work).  Outside readings will not count toward the required three readings you must draw from. Your essay must include a bibliography at the end, listing the works you cited.

Option #1: What are the root causes of inequality under the current world order? Please discuss at least two, describing how they produce wealth for some people (or some groups, or some countries) and poverty for others.

Option #2: Are there universal human rights? Why or why not?

Option #3: What are the greatest threats to the current “liberal” world order? Please compare two and explain which, in your opinion, poses the greater challenge to the liberal order.

Your paper is due via Blackboard by 11:59:59pm on December 20th. You do not need to submit a hard copy. I will use the time stamp on your electronic submission to verify that you turned your assignment in on time. Late assignments will lose a third of a grade for each day they are late. (For instance, an A- paper becomes a B+ if turned in on December 21st.)

Please remember that this is not a research paper. You will be able to answer the question based solely on the course readings. Citations to outside sources are permitted (as long as you cite them appropriately). But your answer should be based on the course readings to show that you understand the material we covered in class.

Jackson Ultima Case Study

Highly competitive and professional figure skaters are finding that some of the best figure skating blades are manufactured in the United States. Ultima Skates LTD (www.jacksonultima.com), a division of Jackson Ultima Skates Inc., has become one of the most popular names in the figure skating blade industry. The company was founded in 1994 by Dan Nicholson and his partner Larry James; it produced its first skate blade in 1998. To learn more about Jackson Ultima Skates and its products, visit its website at (www.jacksonultima.com) or its Facebook page at Jackson Ultimate Skates.

Dan Nicholson is the president of Ultima Skates. He is originally from Blackpool, England. Nicholson competed nationally and then skated professionally for a number of years. His ice skating experience convinced him that ice skating blades were not performing as well as he thought they could; Nicholson believed that skate blades could be made better and yield better performance.

“After I stopped skating professionally, I was a distributor for one of our competitors. I then went on to design skates,” says Nicholson. “It was when I started designing skates that I really decided I could make a better ice skate.”

Ultima Skates began blade production in July of 1998 and launched its first blade at the National Figure Skating Championships in January 1999. What makes the blades unique is the manufacturing process. “We use modern machines and laser cutting, whereas our competitors are still making skates the way they always have, with stamping and making them by hand,” says Nicholson. “At Ultima Skates, we are really trying to take full advantage of all of the new technologies. We use a much harder steel, and we computer-profile all of our blades. By using computers to profile our blades, we are able to make blades that are exactly the same, last longer, and hold their edges better. Others still profile by hand, which is not very accurate,” he says.

Nicholson points out that these blades are not for everyone. When skaters get into championship level competition, most wear custom boots and pick specific blades to fit their needs on the ice. “We make blades for a very specific market of high-level competitors and professionals, who need more from a skate than you can buy from a store,” says Nicholson. Top skaters, including Tara Lipinski and three-time World Champion and Olympic silver medalist Elvis Stojko, skate on Ultima Blades.

The prices for the blades vary but are often upwards of $100, sometimes approaching $500 for customized blades with graphics. “Skate blades are kind of like cars, in that depending on what you want, you may pay a lot or a little. We are making the Mercedes Benz of skate blades,” Nicholson explains.

Ultima Skates is also the only skate manufacturing company that holds a patent on black skate blades. “We are the only company that can make black skate blades, which is a really sharp-looking blade,” he says.

Ultima Skates is the only skate blade manufacturer located in the United States; the only other two manufacturers are located in England. Ultima Skates is in DeKalb, Illinois, sixty miles west of Chicago. “While DeKalb may not seem like a hotbed of skating activity,” Nicholson says, “the location has worked out very well. The Chicagoland area is seeing a huge growth in the terms of skating rinks and skaters. There is at least $100 million worth of new ice and facilities within one hour of DeKalb.”

The next time you watch figure skating on TV, check to see if the skaters may be skating on Ultima skate blades manufactured in the United States—you’ll know they are if the skates are black.

1. What are the organizational attributes of Ultima Skates? Explain the organizational attributes that could be improved.

2. How has technology aided the development of Ultima Skates? What is the role of innovation in Ultima Skates future? How would you classify the Jackson Ultima Skates company?

3. Review the Jackson Ultima Skates website. Does it do an effective job of marketing and promoting the company and its products? How might you improve the website?

4. What are some tactics and techniques that you could used to market and sell Ultima Skates?

Social Work Theories

 

According to Social learning theory, observing and experiencing new behaviors is what entails the learning process and this is reinforced through models or other people. This then means that new behaviors can be stopped or continued depending on how those behaviors were instilled.  The behaviors can be reinforced externally or internally within a social environment. As a child protection social worker, encountering issues such as bullying, substance abuse, school attendance, psychological issues, poor academic performance, violence are issues that affect student socialization. Social learning theory can be used to understand where all these issues originate from or what influences the situations. For example, when handling a child who has aggressive behavior issues that causes disturbance to the other students when learning. In this case, one employs social learning theory because it will mean assessing role models and stimuli the student is being exposed to hence causing the disruptive and aggressive behavior. After determining all the causes, the social learning theory is also used to point out the patterns of dysfunctional thoughts that are causing the student’s behaviors and emotions. The theory is the best because if a social worker understands the theory well, he or she can utilize the different practice models to solve or handle behavioral despite of the setting (Salas, & Segal, 2010).

Great post, Cheraldo! Social learning theory would aid clients from various service populations. The theory highlights the fact that people learn from each another. Therefore, part of the path towards changing ones negative behavior would be linked  to the aspects of  observation, imitation, and modeling.  “Unlearning aggressive behaviors and relearning socially appropriate behaviors are the main intervention ideas of social learning theory. Social skills training may be an essential component of a program that focuses on developing social competence through the use of modeling, role playing, and social skills. Such training would include adapting or modifying previously used social skills as well as finding alternative strategies for coping with the intensively distressing emotional conditions engendered by various social situations”  (Yang, H. 2002).  With the case I described with   LaBrandon B., social learning theory will lessen some of his anger issues. Role playing certain certain appropriate behaviors would benefit the young man greatly.

Assignment: Inductive And Deductive Theory

/in /by

Babbie, E. (2016). The basics of social research (7th ed.). Belmont, CA: Cengage.

  • Chapter 2, “Paradigms, Theory, and Research” (pp. 30–59Assignment: Inductive and Deductive Theory

Although the terms inductive and deductive theory suggest that these are, in fact, theories, they are really approaches to thinking and reasoning. In the inductive approach, researchers gather evidence and draw conclusions from it. They may begin with observations through which they can identify patterns. These patterns, in turn, help them formulate initial claims or hypotheses that can be tested. In the deductive approach, researchers may begin with a theory-supported hypothesis, and then gather evidence to support the claim (although sometimes the data may refute it!).

In practice, inductive and deductive theory are not as compartmentalized as the paradigms you explored in this week’s Discussion. A researcher may consider him or herself to be squarely in the conflict paradigm “camp,” and use that as the major framework with which he or she attempts to understand the world. Generally, researchers are neither inductive nor deductive practitioners exclusively, but instead may find that they utilize both within a cycle, with evidence informing hypotheses and hypotheses influencing the types of evidence collected.

For this Assignment, you perform a close reading of two brief case studies and determine the inductive and deductive characteristics of each.

To Prepare

Read the case studies: “An Example of Inductive Theory: Why Do People Smoke Marijuana?” and “An Example of Deductive Theory: Distributive Justice” from Chapter 2 of the Babbie course text in this week’s Learning Resources.

The Assignment (3–4 pages):

  • Summarize the two case studies and their findings.
  • Define inductive and deductive theory.
  • Explain the specific aspects of these studies that make them either inductive or deductive.
