Instructions
In week 4, you learned about the importance of theory, the various theoretical perspectives and the ways in which theory help guide research in regards to crime and criminal behavior.
To put this assignment into context, I want you to think about how Lombroso thought one could identify a criminal.  He said that criminals had similar facial features.  If that was the case you would be able to look at someone and know if they were a criminal!  Social theories infer that perhaps it is the social structures around us that encourage criminality. Look around your city- what structures do you think may match up to something you have learned about this week in terms of theory?  These are just two small examples to put this assignment into context for you. The idea is to learn about the theories, then critically think about how can one “show” the theory without providing written explanation for their chosen image.
Directions: With the readings week 4 in mind, please do the following:
1.  Choose a theoretical perspective (I.e., biological, psychological sociological)
2.  Look through media images (this can be cartoons, magazines, newspapers, internet stories, etc…) and select 10 images that you think depict your chosen theory without written explanation.
3. Provide a one paragraph statement of your theory, what kinds of behavior it explains and how it is depicted through images. Be sure to use resources to support your answer.
4.  You will copy and paste your images into a word document, along with your paragraph.  You do not need to cite where you got your images, but you do need to cite any information you have in number 3.
 
Format Directions:
Typed, 12 point font, double spaced
APA format style (Cover page, in text citations and references)
 

 
 
Please read other attachment for the reading For week 4, you are to read the following sections in this book IN THIS ORDER:

  • 1-5.12

Here is a bit of information about each of the readings:
Topic: What is a theory and how do I know if it is a good theory?
Readings: 5.1, 5.2
These readings will introduce you to theory. Theory is used in Criminology to describe, explain, predict and hopefully control criminal behavior. These readings introduce you to the science component of criminal justice- criminology.  While criminal justice is the study of police, courts and corrections, criminology is the study of crime and criminal behavior.  While different, they interact! It is important to understand why “people do what they do” in an effort to inform the criminal justice components to help gain a better understanding of crime and criminality, in addition to biological, psychological and social factors that influence criminality.
Topic: Pre-Classical, Classical and Neoclassical schools of thought
Readings 5.3, 5.4, 5.5
These readings will introduce you to the early thoughts on criminal behavior.  They will provide you with the historical, cultural and society happenings that were influencing the study of criminals. You will also learn about the different ideas surrounding punishment historically.
Topic: Positivism & biological and psychological explanations of criminal behavior
Readings 5.6, 5.7
These readings will introduce you to the idea of positivism- that empirical evidence through scientific inquiry could be used to improve society. You will learn various ways in which scientists tried to identify causes of criminal behavior beyond one’s individual choice.
Topic: Social Process and Social Structure Theories: Chicago School, Strain, Learning and Control Theories
Readings 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11
Some criminologists believe that the cause of criminal behavior lies within society, either in the social structures that are in place, or as a result of social processes. These readings will introduce the impact that things like race, class, sex, education, peer groups, etc.. may have on criminal behavior.
Topic:  Social Reaction Theories and Critical Theory
Reading 5.12
Unlike other theories, social reaction theories focus on those who label react and attempt to control criminal offenders and how this influences further criminal behavior.  Critical theories are rooted in the thoughts of Karl Marx and look at the fusion between power and inequality.  Critical theories attempt to explain criminality as a result of inequality and attempt to influence policies directed and creating equality to curb crime.  This reading will introduce you to both of these schools of thought.

Formulating the right plan and setting meaningful benchmarks along the way gives me a map to follow, a methodology that will guide me through my tasks. 3. Admit when I fail and move on. When I recognize an error, I should admit it openly and take action to correct it. I should be open about your failures; discuss them with myself/with your team and earn from them.
Leveraging Others’ Strengths
Listening to those that I work with and examining and adopting their good skills/strengths that I may lack. Being supportive and engaging with others.

    NR703_CV_Template.pdf

Does caffeine cause cancer? Is autism caused by childhood immunizations? What is the relationship between eating sugary sweets at night and weight gain? It is often helpful to determine and explore relationships between variables. This is especially important in health care, a field dedicated to providing quality care for patients and improving health outcomes. Examining relationships between variables forms the basis for correlational statistics.

In this Discussion, you identify a health care or nursing practice problem that can be explored with correlational statistics and formulate a research question for exploring that problem. You also develop a null and alternate hypothesis, determine the variables related to the study, and predict relationships between the variables based on what you know of correlational statistics.

To prepare:

  • Review      this week’s Learning Resources and the “Correlation” tutorial focusing on      the types of research questions that can be answered using a correlational      statistic.
  • Brainstorm      a number of health care delivery or nursing practice problems that could      be explored using correlational statistics. Then, select one problem on      which to focus for this Discussion.
  • Formulate      a research question to address the problem and that would lead you to      employ correlational statistics.
  • Develop      a null hypothesis and alternate hypotheses.
  • Ask      yourself: What is the expected direction of the relationship?

By tomorrow Tuesday 10/03/17, 5 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format. Use the two references below from the required media and reading list.  Include the level one headings as numbered below:  

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Identify your selected problem in the first line of your posting and post your research question.

2) Post a null hypothesis and alternate hypotheses for your research question and identify the dependent and independent variables that would be associated with the research study.

3) Provide your prediction for the expected relationship (positive or negative) between the variables. Why do you think that sort of relationship will exist? What other factors might affect the outcome?

Case study #1 
Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step down unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook different than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”

Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge?
Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients?
Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones.
Discuss the strengths and limits to Leininger’s Theory.

Case Study #2
Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care items, and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff.

Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role?
How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?
How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment?
Discuss the strengths and limits to Watson’s Theory.

This paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1500 and 1750 words in length.
