M2 Assignment 2: Conducting a Job Search

(conducting a job search)

Question description

An undergraduate psychology degree provides you with some flexibility when selecting a career. The knowledge of how people think, develop, and behave, as well as the interpersonal skills gained from a BA in psychology may lead to work in the field, but also prepares you well for careers in the fields of public service, marketing, or management, among others. Because most professional careers in psychology require further education, those who do not wish to pursue graduate degrees may need to broaden the scope of careers they are willing to consider.

In M1 Assignment 2, you explored your career interests and identified three careers that seemed best suited for you. In this assignment, you will conduct a mock job search and report your findings using the “Job Search Data Bank” form.

Mock Job Search

Select one of the three careers you identified and discussed in M1 Assignment 2 and conduct a job search for actual openings in your area. If you are willing to eventually relocate, you may choose openings elsewhere as well. You may choose to use at least one source or all of the following sources to find available positions in your chosen career of interest:

  • Local newspaper ads (online or printed editions)
  • Networking websites such as LinkedIn
  • Networking with colleagues, peers, or other contacts
  • Your state employment office
  • Listings on professional organizations’ websites

Refer to the Job Resources document to find additional online sources relating to online job searches.

Job Search Data Bank

Download and review a copy of the Job Search Data Bank template. Provide the results of the mock job search you completed for this assignment by filling out the table in the template.

  • Begin by summarizing your career interests. Briefly describe what you concluded from Module 1 about the types of positions best suited to your career interests. For example, if you are most interested in a career as a psychologist, would you prefer to pursue a position in a clinic, a private practice, or a nonprofit organization? Would you prefer to specialize in working with children? Do you hope to have a research or teaching position instead?
  • List at least four positions you found during your job search. These four positions should match the interests you identified in Module 1.
    • Describe each position fully, providing as much of the available information as possible from the ads. Copy the ads and paste them into the table.
  • For each identified job opening, indicate the likelihood of your being eligible for the position upon graduating from college with a bachelor’s degree.
    • If you would be ineligible, specify what additional training or education you would require to qualify for the position.
    • Indicate whether you are willing to pursue that additional training or education.
    • Describe the amount of time, the cost, and other resources you think you would need to invest to become qualified.
  • Put the information in your own words. Place quotation marks around the portions you have quoted from the ads. Cite your sources using APA style in-text citations and a reference list in APA style below your table in the “Job Search Data Bank” template provided.

Submission Details:(conducting a job search)

  • Use the following file-naming convention: M2_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc.
  • By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.
  • All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources.

Point-Counterpoint Essay Assignment – (Drug Use & Abuse)

Use the outline you wrote last week to write your final essay this week.

 

Drug issues are seldom black or white, right or wrong. Some of the most hotly debated questions of our day concern the use, misuse, and abuse of drugs. These issues deserve a good deal of critical thought.

Use the outline you created last week (see separate instruction document for the outline) to construct a 3-5 page point/counterpoint (persuasive) essay using the arguments and sources you already researched. In the essay, you will present opposing points of view on the issue you already chose from the approved list. You should present both sides in a fair way by discussing them objectively and in equal detail.

PLEASE READ THE GRADING RUBRIC FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT BEFORE YOU BEGIN. COMPARE YOUR ESSAY TO THE GRADING RUBRIC BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WILL BE USED TO GRADE YOUR ESSAY.

Essay Structure

PLEASE READ THE SAMPLE ESSAY FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT BEFORE YOU BEGIN WRITING. COMPARE YOUR ESSAY TO THE SAMPLE ESSAY BEFORE YOU SUBMIT IT.

A good essay will include the following:

· A title that clearly states the issue as a question. Take your title from the list of approved topics and just copy what it says there word for word.

· An interesting introductory paragraph that clearly introduces both sides of the argument and draws the reader in. It does not contain your opinion (do not say “I think, I believe, in my opinion”).

· The first section contains 3 strong arguments FOR the issue (the point). ***Each of the 3 arguments must cite a source.

· The second section contains 3 strong arguments AGAINST the issue (counterpoint). ***Each of the 3 arguments must cite a source.

· A closing paragraph in which you summarize both sides of the issue and then state your opinion on the issue.

Writing Style and Format(Drug Use & Abuse)

· Write clearly and concisely. Use as few words as possible to make your arguments. Make your essay easy to read by eliminating extra unnecessary words, phrases and sentences. Get straight to the point.

· Do not try to sound formal. Write as if you were talking – very simply and easily.

· You are encouraged to submit your essay to the National University Writing Center for their expert guidance BEFORE you submit your final essay. You can learn a lot from a half hour session with them and it will improve your grade.

· Check your work. Use spell check and then carefully proofread your essay at least once to catch spelling, punctuation and grammatical mistakes. Read your essay out loud to catch any missing words, extra words and awkward-sounding sentences. Show your essay to someone else to see if they understand what you are trying to say. Take pride in your work and strive to be mistake-free.

· Type in Times New Roman, Size 12 font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins all around.

References

Use at least 4 total sources for your arguments. Each of the 2 arguments for and the 2 arguments against against must have at least one source.

Introduction: Safety Culture Analysis

(Introduction: Safety Culture Analysis)

Need assistance with only a portion of a group assignment.

Question description

I am only responsible for the introduction (300 words) of a group assignment. You will find all directions below:

As a team consider the following scenario:

On Dec. 7, 2000, the Cincinnati OSHA office heard through media and police reports that there were two deaths at a nursing home in Ohio. OSHA determined that the FDA should take a lead role in performing an investigation.

Since the nursing home had many residents who had unhealthy respiratory systems, the nursing home routinely ordered and received tanks that contained pure oxygen. During one delivery, the supplier mistakenly delivered one tank of pure nitrogen in addition to the three tanks of pure oxygen that had been ordered. The nitrogen tank had both an oxygen and nitrogen label. An employee at the nursing home connected the nitrogen tank to the nursing home’s oxygen delivery system. This event caused two nursing home residents to die, and three additional nursing home residents were admitted to hospitals in critical condition. Within the following month, two of these three additional residents also died, bringing the total death toll to four.

Note: Based on accident # 837914 www.osha.gov.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which your team compares the Normal Accident Theory to the Culture of Safety model.

Include the following in your paper:

  • Explain what factors can play a role in organizational accidents similar to the one highlighted in the scenario:
    • How can organizational processes give rise to potential failures?
    • How can certain conditions influence errors and violations within the workplace? (e.g., operating room, pharmacy, intensive care unit)
    • The errors and violations committed by “sharp end” individuals
    • How the breaching of defenses or safeguards affect these accidents
  • Explain why the FDA, not OSHA, was responsible for investigating this case.
  • Explain how the Culture of Safety model could have been applied to reduce risk in this scenario.
  • Explain the five general principles used in the Culture of Safety model.
  • Explain actions that could have been taken to manage risk by applying each of the five general principles used in the Culture of Safety model to this scenario.

Cite at least 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references and your textbook to support your information.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Discussion: Cultural Differences

/in , , /by

Assignment 1: Discussion—Cultural Differences: Kayin’s Case

(Discussion: Cultural Differences)

Professionals must work with families to understand cultural and linguistic characteristics specific to each child. This is critical in determining whether a child’s experiences are typical of someone coming from a different background as opposed to a true disability. These issues can be complex as exceptionalities are seen across cultures as well.

Review the following scenario:

  • Kayin is an eight-year-old boy in the third grade. His teacher, Mr. Bledsoe, has been very concerned about his problems with reading. He also has difficulty socially, and seems withdrawn, with few, if any, friends. Kayin avoids eye contact with most people, but this is more pronounced with adults. He also becomes very frustrated at times, crying and ripping up his work.
    Kayin has been enrolled in the same school since kindergarten. However, Mr. Bledsoe knows that his family is originally from Nigeria and they return every summer to visit family. Although Kayin’s parents speak English fairly fluently, they have a pronounced African accent. Mr. Bledsoe remembers learning that it is an act of respect to avoid eye contact with adults in some cultures, but he cannot remember whether this is true of Nigerian culture.
    Mr. Bledsoe has been hesitant to raise the possibility of a disability because he does not know how much of Kayin’s struggles can be attributed to growing up in a bicultural and bilingual home or to Kayin’s own personality.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research cultural differences related to children with exceptionalities. It may also be useful to consult CultureGrams in the online library for more information on cultures in Nigeria.

Reflect on your readings and respond to the following:

  • What steps should Mr. Bledsoe take to address Kayin’s challenges?
  • What professionals might he include to help Kayin?
  • What further information does Mr. Bledsoe and his colleagues need to best help Kayin? Where can he find this information?
  • How should Mr. Bledsoe approach the issue of cultural differences with Kayin’s parents?
  • What ethical dilemma(s) might Mr. Bledsoe face when considering the values, beliefs, and behaviors common in the culture of Kayin’s family within the context of the general American culture?

Write your initial response in 400–600 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Mysterious Working Of The Brain

The Mysterious Working Of The Brain

(Mysterious Working Of The Brain)

The brain is a marvel of complexity, its inner workings shrouded in mystery. At its core, the brain orchestrates every aspect of human experience, from sensation to thought, emotion to action. Its intricate network of billions of neurons communicates through electrical impulses and chemical signals, forming elaborate circuits that govern our behaviors and shape our perceptions of the world.

Despite decades of research, much about the brain remains unknown. Neuroscientists strive to unravel its secrets, studying its structure, function, and dynamics. They have discovered remarkable phenomena, such as neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize and adapt in response to experience.

Yet, the true essence of consciousness, the enigmatic phenomenon that arises from the brain’s activity, eludes complete understanding. How do neural processes give rise to subjective experience? What role do neurotransmitters, synaptic connections, and brain regions play in shaping our thoughts and emotions?

The brain’s mysteries extend beyond cognition and into the realms of mental illness and neurological disorders. Conditions like schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression challenge our understanding and highlight the profound complexity of the brain’s inner workings.

As technology advances and scientific inquiry continues, we inch closer to unlocking the secrets of the brain. Each discovery illuminates a piece of the puzzle, revealing the astonishing complexity and beauty of nature’s most intricate creation. Yet, the mystery persists, inviting us to delve deeper into the labyrinth of the mind.

Journal Article Critical Analysis

Utilizing the information gained from your reading of Chapters 4 and 5 of the text, critically analyze one of the five scholarly articles found in Chapter 10 of the text.  Choose an article that best relates to your thesis or could potentially be used to support your position in the Final Capstone Project.

In a critical analysis of the article, complete the following:

  • Provide the formal APA citation of the source.
  • Summarize the article’s thesis and main points in one or two paragraphs, at maximum.
  • Critically evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the article.
  • Evaluate the significance of the sources, including whether they are primary or secondary sources.
  • Provide examples of either the presence of bias or lack of bias evidenced by the authors.
  • Critique (as defined in Chapter 5) the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article. In your critique, consider whether or not the authors persuaded you with their viewpoints.
  • Using source “treeing,” as described in Chapter 4.1 of your text, find two related scholarly articles and explain how the articles you found could be used to support or contradict the premise and findings of the article being critiqued.

The paper must be three to four pages in length, excluding title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly sources, which includes the article you are reviewing, two articles that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
