    This focus of this seminar is on leading a “Good and Just” life. Often times peo

    This focus of this seminar is on leading a “Good and Just” life. Often times people will say that a good life is a happy life, but those are two different things. Before we explore what others have to say about these topics, I want to hear from you.
    For your post this week respond to the following:
    I want you to define what you think it means to lead a “Good” life, a “Just” life, and to be “Happy”. What does your culture, family, or upbringing tell you about the meaning of those words? Beyond just your own thoughts, I want you to find a source that support your definition of these words. (You only need to find one source for each word, and should not use the same source for any two words.) The source link can be to an article, a website, a picture, etc. that supports your definition of “good” and “happy”.
    After watching the “Price of Happiness” video, what is something you found thought-provoking?

    The term paper will be at least 12 pages and no longer than 15, excluding the ti

    The term paper will be at least 12 pages and no longer than 15, excluding the title and
    reference pages. The term paper will be written using the format of the American Psychological
    Association (APA), seventh edition. Only term project submissions with an originality
    (similarity) report of less than 15% will be accepted and graded.
    This term project will be integral to the theme of facilitating moral development in children
    and adolescents. For this term project 12 sources are required for students completing the term
    project individually. Ten of these must be scholarly (i.e., peer reviewed journal articles or book
    chapters from scholarly specialty books). Four of the scholarly sources must be empirical. Mass
    media publications will NOT be accepted as a scholarly source. NO reading assignment given
    in this course may count as one of these sources.
    In completing your term project, you will identify a topic that is integral to moral
    development. Here I assume that many aspects of behavior have a significant
    moral/positive values component (e.g., drug use, academic achievement, healthful behavior,
    or peer harassment). In completing your project, you must show how the topic is integral to
    the moral development. This paper will be completed in 4 sections.
    First you will provide a one-page introduction to the topic. Here you will provide your
    personal opinion about how this topic is germane to moral development and draw upon moral
    perspectives covered in the course. These include the following: (a) Kohlberg’s moral
    reasoning, (b) internalization and self regulation and (c) distributive justice or restorative
    practices.
    Second you will provide a presentation of the issues section. In this section you will utilize at
    least 5 sources. This will involve a more elaborate definition and descriiption of your topic
    (e.g., specific type(s) of peer harassment, frequency or prevalence, and who is involved); the
    implications and outcomes of such behaviors (e.g., how it impacts those affected and/or those
    engaging in such behaviors); and causal or correlational factors that impact this topic (e.g.,
    factors that increase the likelihood or prevalence of peer harassment). NOTE that you should be
    mindful of the developmental periods(s) for which these sources pertain. In short, the
    presentation of issues incorporates the what, who and why. It should have sufficient context
    to provide the foundation for the subsequent section. I estimate this section would be 4 – 5
    pages.

    Third you will present a facilitating positive outcomes section. In this section you will utilize
    at least 6 sources. Here you will identify at least 3 distinct strategies/interventions relevant to
    facilitating positive outcomes on your topic. Use sub-headings to identify distinct strategies. As you present said strategies/interventions how they are relevant to facilitating positive
    outcomes on your topic and the issues/developmental period(s) identified in your
    presentation of issues section must be articulated. I estimate this section would be 6 – 7
    pages.
    Finally, in an integration and synthesis section you will identify how at least some elements of
    each strategy for supporting/enhancing moral development covered during the course (i.e., moral
    reasoning, internalization/self-regulation; and distributive justice or restorative practices) are
    aligned with the strategies/interventions outlined in your facilitating positive outcomes section.
    Incorporate at least 1 source into this section. I estimate this integration and synthesis section
    should take about 1 page.
    Please label each section as follows:
    I. Introductory section
    II. Presentation of the issues
    III. Facilitating positive outcomes
    IV. Integration and synthesis
    You will be graded on the following:
    1. The extent to which you capture all of the elements required for this term paper. This
    includes engaging in the preliminary and other activities for the term project assigned as
    part of the class.
    2. The overall organization and flow of your paper (e.g., transitioning from one
    source/paragraph to another; integrating multiple sources).
    3. The clarity, accuracy and comprehensiveness in which you present your sources.
    4. Your demonstrated ability to link your topic and sources to the required moral
    perspectives and techniques covered during the course.
    5. The clarity and accuracy in which you analyze the required moral perspectives and
    techniques.
    6. Use of appropriate grammar and APA style.
    I’ve attached what i have written so far.

    Managing Human Capital
    Assignment Overview
    From this Module’s Background readings, we learn that the strongest companies view employees as assets rather than liabilities. They do this in many ways, such as through professional development opportunities, benefits offered, pay scale adjustments, and employee engagement initiatives.
    Managers also show their employees that they are assets by the way the employees are treated. If managers do not treat their employees as valued employees, employee satisfaction might decrease and negatively impact the organization’s success.
    With that in mind, how does a company know it needs to adjust its culture to become a sustainable, compassionate employer in the 21st century? Smart management teams track metrics that indicate a company’s overall health, including its level of employee satisfaction. Unless steps are taken to improve employee satisfaction, however, metrics will be wasted and the opportunity for gain will be lost.
    So, what types of metrics are important in HR and what are they useful for? To answer this question, please read the following articles regarding HR metrics:
    Jessee, T. (n.d.). 48 HR KPIs & metric examples (and how to implement them). ClearPoint Strategy. https://www.clearpointstrategy.com/human-capital-kpis-scorecard-measures/ Standard right to access materials on ClearPoint Strategy site for noncommercial purposes.

    Case Assignment
    After reading the required background material, prepare an essay in which you identify five key performance metrics to measure employee satisfaction.
    You should address the following questions about each of the five metrics you selected to measure employee engagement/satisfaction:
    Discuss three reasons why employee engagement/satisfaction metrics might rise or fall.
    What steps should a company take to improve employee engagement/satisfaction?
    In addition to the Jessee (n.d.) and Seven Habits (2019) sources, utilize at least two additional Trident library sources to support your essay.
    Your Case Assignment should be 3-4 pages. The page count does not include the cover page or reference list page. The title at the top of Page 2 should be the title you give your submission, not “Introduction,” although the first paragraph of a paper should always be an introduction. There is also a conclusion required at the end of this assignment that is a synopsis of your findings uncovered during the process of completing this assignment.
    Submit the Case Assignment into the appropriate dropbox by the Module 1 due date.
    Assignment Expectations
    Your submission will be assessed on the criteria found in the grading rubric for this assignment:

  • In healthcare, patient safety is everything done to ensure the facilitation of s

    In healthcare, patient safety is everything done to ensure the facilitation of s

    In healthcare, patient safety is everything done to ensure the facilitation of safe, efficient care. However, even in the best of circumstances, errors and near misses can occur. Most errors are caused by system-related processes; however, it is important that all errors and near misses are reported. These reports help to ensure the root causes are identified and fixed to prevent future harm. The more information an organization has about an incident the better, especially if there is a growing trend of similar incidents occurring in a practice or facility. Trends can be tracked to see what issues are contributing to the overall problem.
    How can an organization encourage the accurate reporting of near misses and errors without a retaliation approach to the reporting employee(s)? That is where the concept of “just culture” comes in. This concept was identified in the early 2000s as a way to create trust while gaining important safety information about system and behavioral processes. While it promotes a trusting and fair environment, it also holds those individuals accountable for gross negligence or deliberately engaging in unsafe clinical practice.
    In this Assignment, you will be reflecting on the meaning of a “just culture.” During your reflection, consider examples of “just culture” and how that impacted system processes. You will share your thoughts on the topic.
    To prepare:
    Review the Required Learning Resources
    Consider what you think “just” culture means
    Reflect on examples of “just” culture in your practice
    The Assignment (1 page)
    Submit a journal reflection in which you answer the following:
    What is a “just” culture? What is not a “just” culture?
    Provide an example of a “just” culture in your own practice. A just culture also holds people appropriately accountable where there is evidence of gross negligence or deliberately acting in an unsafe way. Provide an example in which a healthcare provider was held accountable for a negligent act. If you do not have a personal experience, share an experience that has been published in the news.

  • The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is plannin

    The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is plannin

    The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific community health concern or health need. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the participants. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation. This assessment is the foundation for the implementation of your health promotion educational plan (Assessment 4). Preparation For this assessment, you will propose a hypothetical health promotion plan addressing a particular health concern or health need affecting a fictitious individual or group living in the community. The hypothetical individual or group of your choice must be living in the community; not in a hospital, assistant living, nursing home, or other facility. To prepare for this assessment, first select one health concern or health need from the Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan [PDF] Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan [PDF] resource (Attached). • Consider the populations potentially affected by that concern or health need, and hypothetical individuals or groups living in the community. • Then investigate your chosen concern or need and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence. In addition, you are encouraged to: • Complete the Vila Health: Effective Interpersonal Communications simulation. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement. • Review the health promotion plan assessment and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete. • Review the MacLeod article, “Making SMART Goals Smarter.” Note: You will need to satisfactorily pass Assessment 1 (Health Promotion Plan) before working on your Assessment 4 (Health Promotion Plan Presentation). In Assessment 4, you will simulate a face-to-face presentation of this plan to the individual or group that you have identified. Instructions To complete your hypothetical health promotion plan, please use the following outline to guide your work: Health Promotion Plan • To begin, first select a health issue or need that will be the focus of your assessment from the Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan [PDF] Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan [PDF] resource. (Attached) • After you select one specific health concern or health need from the resource above, next investigate the concern or need and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence. • Create a scenario as if this project were being completed face-to-face. • Identify the chosen population and include demographic data (location, lifestyle, age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, employment). • Describe in detail the characteristics of your chosen hypothetical individual or group for this activity and how they are relevant to this targeted population. • Discuss why your chosen population is predisposed to this health concern or health need and why they can benefit from a health promotion educational plan. • Based on the health concern for your hypothetical individual or group, discuss what you would include in the development of a sociogram. Take into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your educational plan in your first assessment. You will take this information into consideration when you develop your educational plan in your fourth assessment. • Identify their potential learning needs. Collaborate with the individual or group on SMART goals that will be used to evaluate the educational session (Assessment 4). • Identify the individual or group’s current behaviors and outline clear expectations for this educational session and offer suggestions for how the individual or group needs can be met. • Health promotion goals need to be clear, measurable, and appropriate for this activity. Consider goals that will foster behavior changes and lead to the desired outcomes. Document Format and Length Your health promotion plan should be 3–4 pages in length. Supporting Evidence Support your health promotion plan with peer-reviewed articles, course study resources, and Healthy People 2030 resources. Cite at least three credible sources published within the past five years, using APA format. Graded Requirements The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. • Analyze the health concern that is the focus of your health promotion plan. o Consider underlying assumptions and points of uncertainty in your analysis. • Explain why a health concern is important for health promotion within a specific population. o Examine current population health data. o Consider the factors that contribute to health, health disparities, and access to services. • Explain the importance of establishing agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with hypothetical participants. • Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions; contains few errors in grammar/punctuation, word choice, and spelling. • Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format. o Write with a specific purpose and audience in mind. o Adhere to scholarly and disciplinary writing standards and APA formatting requirements. Before submitting your assessment for grading, proofread it to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it difficult for them to focus on the substance of your plan.

    Assignment Content
    EXAM 1
    Instructions:
    Answer the following 2 questions in short essays (length is up to you, but no shorter than 400 words each.) The exam is open book and notes, make sure to specifically refer to the textbook, websites, and films as examples in your answers. ChatGPT has not watched these movies and will make errors of facts and analysis. As throughout the semester, specific answers will get more credit than vague one – this is your chance to demonstrate that you have engaged with all the course material. There is no time limit for this exam but it is due on Blackboard, by 8 p.m. on February 6.
    Questions:
    1. If you were going to study an aspect of the culture of students at High Point University as an anthropologist, what research question would you create? Why would you ask that specific question? How would you collect your data and why would you use those specific methods? What methods would you use to analyze the data you have collected? What is a mental map of reality at HPU that you might include in your research? Which groups of students would be easiest for you to study and which the most difficult? Why are some groups harder to study than others? Can you think of an example of where the concept of “zero” as discussed in your textbook, would be useful in your research? Thinking specifically about the issues that Nancy Scheper Hughes faced in Ireland, what ethical concern would you have to consider before conducting your fieldwork at HPU?
    Below, is the Nancy Scheper Hughes article
    https://newint.org/features/2014/05/01/organ-trafficking-keynote
    Also, another website on Nancy Hughes
    https://imma.ie/magazine/the-devastation-of-the-people-an-interview-with-nancy-scheper-hughes/
    2. How do systems of power intersect with language? Using specific examples from our textbook and the films we have watched in class discuss how the Cherokee language and Southern accents (specifically the Charlotte accent) illustrate the intersection of language and power. How does the status of the Cherokee language in the past and the present demonstrate issues of language loss, globalization, and resistance? Discuss how the Southern accent is perceived in American society and how this affects the attitudes of the people interviewed in the film watched. Is a southern accent considered to be a marker of prestige? Why or why not.
    Honor Code: The High Point University honor pledge applies to this exam. You may use books, notes, films, and websites, but you may not have the assistance of classmates, family, or friends in completing the exam. If you quote directly or paraphrase you must cite your sources.
