Prosocial Behavior

Assignment List Week 7 Assignment: Prosocial Behavior Week 7 Assignment: Prosocial Behavior

For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself “is there a way I might help another here?” Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.

At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
In a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting title or reference slides:
Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors you engaged in, others’ reactions to these behaviors, and your assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or anything else of note you experienced.
Review what you have learned about human behavior in social settings this week in your readings and CogBooks activities. Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research.

Criminal Prosecution for Nursing Practice

IDENTIFY WHAT EMOTIONS ARE EVOKED AS YOU CONSIDER THE COLORADO BOARD OF NURSING CASE STATED ABOVE?
 NO COMMENTS
Criminal Prosecution for Nursing Practice
Submit a 1- to 2-page essay
Case Study:
Until recently, the risk of criminal prosecution for nursing practice was nonexistent unless nursing action rose to the level of criminal intent, such as the case of euthanasia leading to murder charges. However, in April 1997, three nurses at the Centura St. Anthony Hospital, outside of Denver, were indicted by a Colorado grand jury for criminally negligent homicide in the death of a newborn. Public records show that one nurse was assigned to care for the baby. A second nurse offered to assist her colleague in caring for the baby. A third nurse was a nurse practitioner in the hospital nursery. Because the baby was at risk for congenital syphilis, the physician ordered that the nurses give 150,000 units of intramuscular penicillin, which would have required five separate injections.
In relation to other problems the same day, the baby was subjected to a lumbar puncture, which required six painful attempts. To avoid inflicting further pain, nurse two asked the nurse practitioner whether there was another route available for the administration of the penicillin. Nurse two and the nurse practitioner searched recognized pharmacology references and determined that intravenous administration would be acceptable. The nurse practitioner had the authority to change the route and directed nurse two to administer the medication intravenously rather than intramuscularly. Unrecognized by the nurses, the pharmacy erroneously delivered the medication, prepared and ready to administer, in a dose ten times greater than was ordered—1.5 million units. As nurse two was administering the medication intravenously, the baby died. The Colorado Board of Nursing initiated disciplinary proceedings against nurse two and the nurse practitioner, but not against nurse one. The grand jury indicted all three nurses on charges of criminally negligent homicide but did not indict the pharmacist (Calfee & Plum, 1997).
Respond to the following with these headings:

  • Identify what emotions are evoked as you consider the Colorado Board of Nursing case stated above?
  • Should the courts take into consideration the fact that the nurses’ error occurred because they wanted to avoid causing the baby unnecessary pain? Discuss your thinking.
  • Can you think of other occupations in which the consequences of unintentional errors have greater legal implications? Discuss your answer.
  • How should the nursing profession respond to this frightening new legal threat?
  • Which sections of the State Nurse Practice Act did the nurses violate?

World history homework help

1.) How does the film version of the historical incident, personage, period, etc., relate to the written
source?
2.) Please compare the film version to the “written” history. Pay close attention to how the history of
the period, place, persons, etc., are handled in the film—is there significant time compression, are the
events dramatized greatly in comparison to the way they are portrayed in the written historical works,
are they “distorted” for dramatic or political reasons, are characters added or subtracted from the film
version, etc.?
3) In addition to discussing the actual history, characters, settings, periods, etc., please also explore
the cinematic elements in the movie version—that is, the way the story is narrated, the way it is
filmed or edited (for example, what shots are used, and how they are edited together to create
effects or emotional reactions), the way the actors are directed, the way color, music, lighting,
camera angles, or other elements are employed, and so forth.
4) What is your perspective on the film/article combination and the themes they explore? Be sure
to analyze the importance of the film to the topics and themes covered in our course: What or how does
the material contribute to our understanding of Latin American history? How does their approach differ
from or complement other sources we have studied? What interests or point of view might shape the
points/argument they present? Another approach would be to offer a critique. Critiques can sometimes
be an easier starting point when confronting a new work.

    Article writing homework help

    Basic Purpose
    How do groups function? How does work get done in these groups? How does that work contribute to the definition and accomplishment of the group’s purposes? How does writing affect the processes of work and interaction in these groups? These are a few of the major questions you might answer in the process of composing your final essay for this course. You third essay will be an activity analysis. What that means, basically, is that you will analyze an activity system* (such as a club, a local sports team, a worship group, a local business, etc.) in order to make a major claim or provide a major insight about some aspect of your chosen activity system, preferably in relation to its textual tools. One way to do this is to focus on the use(s) or implications of specific genres of writing or other textual tools in the system (basically, how writing is used in or affects the system). It could also mean that your essay will focus on a problem that exists between components of the system and how the members of that system attempt to solve that problem. Or it might mean that your essay will focus on how values and authority are created, affirmed, or questioned in the system, possibly including how the system’s use of writing demonstrates this process. In any case, your finished essay should analyze and make a claim about your chosen activity system in some focused manner.
    *In this unit, you will read Donna Kain and Elizabeth Wardle’s “Activity Theory: An Introduction for the Writing Classroom,” which will define and discuss activity theory, activity systems, and more. This and other readings in the unit should help you to better understand the concepts that inform this project.
    Process
    In order to complete this project, you will need to first select an activity system to analyze. You should choose a system you are familiar with (preferably one you are or have been involved with). You should be able to communicate with members of your chosen system, and you should also be able to access some of their written/recorded texts. Finally, choose a system that interests you. You will be learning a lot about it (even if you are already a participant in the system), so choose something you would like to study in depth.
    You will need to collect a lot of data. To begin with, you will need to outline the components of the system and their interactions with one another using the activity triangle found on page 400 of our textbook (in Kain and Wardle’s article). Please note: Your overview of the system as can be seen in your outline/triangle is only the start of this project. Your final essay should not be an extended description of the components of the activity triangle. It should, instead, focus on some significant insight about how the system’s components inform, interact with, or otherwise affect the system or other components of the system.
    Other research you will likely need to perform for this project includes observing members of the system in action (such as shadowing or even participating), conducting interviews with various members of the activity system, and gathering a variety of actual texts produced, read, or otherwise used by members of the system. Your interviews may include questions about the system’s goals, customs, texts, activities, etc.
    Next, you will analyze your data. As Wardle and Downs suggest, you should “focus on what is interesting or complicated here. Do community members agree on the motives and purpose of their activities? Do the genres being used effectively facilitate the work of that community? What sorts of values do the genres suggest that the system has? Who has authority in this system? How is that authority affirmed (or questioned) in the genres and activities?” (317). These questions, and others, may help you arrive at a primary claim about the activity performed in your chosen activity system.
    Structure
    The structure you choose for this project will likely be that of a standard academic paper. You will want to include an introduction that provides relevancy for your subject and leads to your primary claim, a body that explains and analyzes your evidence in order to support your primary claim, and a conclusion that provides closure for your exploration of the topic. You will certainly need to cite Kain and Wardle and/or other authors from this unit in your essay.
    Project Milestones
    You will submit a draft of your project in a minimum of five stages. (You may seek additional guidance from your instructor if you need to.) Those stages, and the corresponding word count expectations, are listed below.

    1. 1st Peer Review Draft (Partial Draft: 1,000 words or more)
    2. 1st Videoconference Draft (Partial Draft: 1,000 words or more)
    3. 2nd Peer Review Draft (Complete Draft: 2,000-2,500 words)
    4. 2nd Videoconference Draft (Complete Draft: 2,000-2,500 words)
    5. Final Draft (Complete Draft: 2,000-2,500 words)

    Additional Details
    This project is inspired by the assignment “Activity Analysis” on pages 443-45 of Writing About Writing. You may wish to review those pages for additional ideas and strategies for your activity analysis. Note: Wherever these project guidelines contradict what Wardle and Downs have written on those pages, this document takes precedence over the assignment as outlined in Writing About Writing.

    GENDER APPROPRIATE AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS

    MODULE 5
    M5 ASSIGNMENT 1
    ASSIGNMENT1: LASA2: GENDER APPROPRIATE AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS
    DUE 8/20/18
    Recent headlines have sparked heated debate about whether boys should be allowed to dress as girls. For example, a 5-year-old boy in Seattle who enjoys things traditionally for girls, such as jewelry, the color pink, and dresses was supported and encouraged by his mother, who wrote a book about him called “My Princess Boy”. A J. Crew ad featured a mother painting her young boy’s toenails hot pink (CBS News, 2011 April 13). Reactions ranged from outrage and disbelief to support of the mothers.
    On the flipside, girls who shun traditionally “girly things” such as dresses and flowers in favor of more traditional “boy things” such as watching or playing sports, rough-and-tumble play, and choosing boys as friends are often called tomboys.
    For either sex, choosing to engage in activities traditionally reserved for a specific sex can result in teasing and accusations of homosexuality.
    · Using research gathered from your textbook, online course content, and at least 1 research article, analyze the above scenarios.
    · Are the behaviors discussed above (i.e., preferring things traditionally acceptable for a specific sex) indicative of homosexuality? Why or why not?
    · Describe the psychological consequences (positive and negative) that might result from engaging in behaviors reserved for a specific sex?

    · Develop an argument for or against concern that these children might be exhibiting a paraphilia.

    · Which paraphilia(s) might apply and what criteria would you use based on the research?

    · What, if any, intervention would you recommend to a parent whose little girl or boy expresses the desire to engage in behaviors typical of the opposite sex? If you do not believe intervention is necessary, explain why.

    By the due date assigned, write an essay that is 3-5 pages in length. Also include a cover page and reference list. Remember to support your arguments with information drawn from the online content, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making.  Apply APA standards to for writing and citations to your work.

    The paper should be  double-spaced 12-point  typescript, Times Roman font, with  1-inch margins  all around, and free from grammatical errors.

    M5 ASSIGNMENT 2 DISCUSSION

    ASSIGNMENT 2: DISCUSSION: SEXUAL HARASSMENT

    DUE 8/19/18

    The two legal “tests” that constitute sexual harassment are:

    A. Quid pro quo, meaning failure to give in to unwanted sexual advances will threaten a person’s academic or employment career.

    B. Behavior, which a “reasonable person” would deem a “hostile or offensive working environment.”

    Some men complain that because the second point is too vague and potentially too broad, they fear being falsely accused of sexual harassment. They also say they worry that simply smiling and indulging in a little friendly flirting with a female co-worker can be misconstrued. Some women also acknowledge that they miss some of the playful camaraderie.

    · Why is it important to have sexual harassment laws? If you do not believe these laws or necessary, explain your position.

    · Do you think sexual harassment regulations have gone too far? Take a position—yes or no—and discuss it.

    · How would you distinguish playful flirting from sexual harassment? Provide at least two scenarios that illustrate the difference.

    Write your initial response to each part in 3–4 paragraphs. Support your arguments with research, applying APA standards to citation of sources.
