Social problems in the news Students will complete an 8-page paper (including title and reference pages) providing a critical look at the coverage of a social problem in the news media. This paper should include a combination of academic and other sources that analyze the coverage of the issue, and examples of such coverage that the student will collect in the course of the semester. Examples may come from newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio—preferably a combination of sources. Newspapers and magazines can be accessed online through the Cannon Memorial Library (see information about the library in this syllabus). In their paper, students should provide a clear definition of the social problem at stake, present an analysis of the media coverage based on outside sources, and support it with examples they have collected themselves, and link all this to the course material to present a sociological perspective of the impact of the media on how we perceive and address the social problem at stake. It is important that students present a balanced review of the problem, based on research and facts, not personal opinions. Neither is this paper an opinion paper where students give their own perspective on a social problem and how it should be covered. Grading will be based on the following elements: Logical development of ideas Level of depth and detail Application of course materials Critical thinking skills Grammar, spelling, punctuation .

SOC 213: Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a sociological imagination PowerPoint presentation. The presentation is designed to encourage students to think about social problems—past or present, local or global—using their sociological imagination, which involves looking beyond the traditional expectations or veneer associated with social problems. This sociological skill set is imperative in order for student’s to truly begin to grasp the relationship and distinction between individual biography and social structures. Social problems are aspects of society that communities of people are concerned about and want to change or improve. Because social problems are social creations, students will uncover structural and cultural variables that help explain how a current social problem has emerged and persisted, and students will ultimately develop a “sociological imagination”“—the ability to see behaviors socially and understand how they interact and influence each other. The objective is to submit, in a creative PowerPoint presentation, a compelling case for why a student’s chosen social problem is indeed a social and cultural problem and not simply the result of individual choices. Sociologists do not discount the role of personal responsibility within a certain context, but rather seek to understand the power of an environment in shaping personal choices and patterns. For example, consider the social problem of youth unemployment. It is well-documented that in the last several years of America’s economy, young people have experienced unemployment in greater numbers. A presentation in this course about youth unemployment might be framed initially about how, in an American culture that is so focused on individual responsibility and achievement, an issue such as youth unemployment can be treated as purely an individual problem. False information surrounding youth unemployment at large sounds like this: “Today's youth are self-centered and lazy, and they have a sense of entitlement.” “They are not willing to make the sacrifices that we did by working their way up the corporate ladder.” To more specifically understand this sociological problem, students would need to narrow its parameters by selecting a given time period and/or a specific geographic area for youth unemployment. If a student chose to understand unemployment as a result of the Great Recession, it would be easier to scope the range of factors that contribute to this ongoing issue. To better individualize this issue, a student might choose to share his or her own story or that of a family member or a friend who experienced losing a job. Or, a student could choose to share the narrative from a movie, such as The Pursuit of Happiness or another contemporary example. Following this, it would be important to highlight a particular sociological theory: conflict, functionalism, or symbolic interactionism. Because theories are simp ...

Block 2: Structural Assessment of Learning Object (15 points) In my long experience as a teacher and university professor, I have seen many instructors who use one or more methods or features as part of their course without ever asking themselves about those aspects that support and those that might interfere with learning. On the other hand, when I was a middle and high school teacher, I wanted to know what each of the resources provided to students allowing them to learn and what might actually interfere with their learning. So from early on, I developed the habit of critically analyzing learning resources. In this second block, you will engage in the analysis (assessment) of a learning object / resource. The purpose is not to acknowledge and praise fancy gimmicky designs but to look at the learning objects through the eyes of the learner (as per the readings in Block 1). To set the stage for this second part of this course, the analyses of 3 actual investigations of learning objects are provided—research articles adapted for the purpose of this course. The object of the first analysis is a BBC online feature in the science section.This is considered a learning object because readers will learn something new; moreover, it is precisely by reading such and similar pieces that some readers get hooked into the respective field (e.g. science, anthropology). The object of the second analysis is one of the Bill Nye the Science Guyshows that you may be familiar with. There are many who have learned and gotten hooked into science because of these and similar learning objects. Certain lectures that can be viewed on YouTube have many comments about how the particular learning object has helped them understanding the topic. The third text features many analyses of photographs in biology textbooks that one of my former students conducted just after graduating with her BSc. When you read these exemplary and exemplifying analyses, you should ask yourself questions such as: “What does the resource (learning object) make available for making sense?,” “What structural resources does the resource provide to reading?,” and “What does the resource draw on in the existing experience of the recipient?” The point for providing the three text excerpts is to provide you with examples of how some learning object (learning resource) is critically analyzed. You learn how to write a critical analysis by emulating the forms from one or the other example. Activity of Block 2 1. Read the sample analyses (initially, this might be done rapidly for you to get a sense of what is done in a critical analysis of a learning resource. 2. Select some resource or learning object understood in the widest sense, anything that teaches the recipient something or that could be used to teach something (e.g. from your academic discipline, your hobby, where you already know what can / should be learned). 3. Conduct an analysis of the resource or learning object—e.g. from your academic a ...

Background of Social Issues Throughout the course of your degree program, you have had the opportunity to examine various topical issues that are addressed by professionals in the health and human services field. To demonstrate your mastery of the program learning outcomes, you will synthesize your knowledge of various content areas related to a social issue of your choosing, and use this to develop an original intervention (i.e., strategy, technique, or application) to address this particular topic in your Final Paper. To facilitate in the development of this final assignment, you will prepare and submit the first of four written assignments, which will involve a thorough overview of your proposed social issue. More specifically, your task will involve addressing the following content areas: Identify a social issue that health and/or human service organizations address in some capacity and discuss its current impact on group(s) affected by it. When selecting an area of focus, take into account broad topics that have been exhaustively scrutinized at the scholarly level, such as homelessness, mental health, aging, substance abuse, child welfare, etc. A good place to begin your search on an area of interest is the HHS A to Z Index. Describe the historical underpinnings of this issue. Factors to consider include: where and how it originated, pertinent events and their dates, and its current status. Discuss specific factors contributing to the social issue. Consider environmental, social, political, and economic reasons that have attempted to explain why this issue persists. Evaluate the impact of this social issue on the delivery of health and human service efforts by reviewing the scholarly literature and relevant professional/governmental resources for evidence of formal responses in the form of policy implementation, legislation, or Acts related to this social issue. What impact has this had on how health and/or human service organizations provide support in terms of direct practice with clients and within communities? At minimum, your submission must include three scholarly sources (excluding the required course readings), two of which must come from the Ashford University Library (e.g., articles, professional critiques, research reports, etc.). The third source can come from either the library or from a professional website ending in .gov.

Instructions Application 2: Laying the Foundation for New Approaches to Practice As frequently noted in the literature, there is often a gap between research evidence and practice. This is not a new phenomenon; however, with the rapid growth of knowledge, it is essential that nurses hone their ability to identify this gap, determine best practices based on the evidence, and then apply this evidence to practice through the development of new approaches. In order for that to transpire, nurses must be skilled in leading change efforts so that adoption of new practice approaches can be successful. For your EBP Project in Week 2 (Application 1), you identified an issue in your practicum setting in which the outcome is different from what would be expected according to the research literature. This week, continue to explore current research literature looking for new evidence to address the problem. In addition, you build on the work you began in this week’s Discussion and select an evidence-based practice model and change theory or framework that will support your efforts. To prepare for Application 2 address the following: · How current is the science underlying the practices related to your EBP Project issue? · Consider possible causes of the difference in outcomes from what would be expected according to the research literature. · Evaluate the effect the EBP Project issue is having in practice. · Using the Walden Library and other credible sources, locate current research evidence of new practices that are effective in addressing the issue. · Use the GRADE model presented in the Guyatt et al. (2011) article to evaluate the research evidence. The full Application 2 is due by Day 7 of this week. Instructions for how to prepare for previous sections of this Application have been provided in Week 4. To complete: In a 3- to 5-page paper, include the following: · A brief summary of the currency of the science underlying the practices used to address your EBP Project issue · Possible causes of the difference in outcomes from what would be expected according to the research literature · The effect the EBP Project issue is having in practice · Current research evidence on new practices for addressing the EBP Project issue · A summary of the evidence-based practice model (including models from other disciplines as appropriate) and/or change theory or framework you will utilize to systematically integrate new approaches to practice to address the issue http://tso.sagepub.com/ Teaching Sociology http://tso.sagepub.com/content/37/1/76 The online version of this article can be found at: DOI: 10.1177/0092055X0903700107 2009 37: 76Teaching Sociology Robert J.

The major research project involves several key elements: Research Proposal: It begins with the formulation of a research proposal that outlines the research objectives, questions, methodology, and expected outcomes. The proposal serves as a roadmap for the project, guiding the researcher throughout the research process. Literature Review: A comprehensive review of existing literature related to the research topic is conducted. This involves identifying and analyzing relevant scholarly articles, books, and other sources to gain an understanding of the current state of knowledge and identify research gaps. Research Methodology: The research methodology describes the approach and techniques used to collect and analyze data. It includes selecting appropriate research methods, such as surveys, interviews, experiments, or data analysis, and detailing the procedures for data collection, sampling, and data analysis.

Research Paper Options and Guidelines For the individual final paper, students can choose one of the following four options (A, B, C, and D). All papers should be a minimum of (6) typed pages and a maximum of (10) pages. In addition to your 6-10 pages, please include a title page, a table of contents, and reference pages. At least 2/3 of the references should have been published within the last 5 years. Papers should be in APA format, double-spaced using Times New Roman, size 12 for the font. Option A: The purpose of this final paper is to enhance your knowledge and understanding of normal development during adolescence or adulthood. You should select a developmental task (or tasks) appropriate for either adolescence or adulthood. For example, the development of an identity is a task that typically occurs during adolescence in Erickson’s theory of psychosocial development. You should review the literature related to this developmental task and write a comprehensive literature review that addresses not only the traditional views and theoretical explanations for this task, but also explores non-traditional explanations as well. For example, if you choose the issue of spousal abuse, you must address the traditional views outlined in the literature which define the cause and role of battering in interpersonal relationships including the alternative view of some theorists that violence in relationships can be viewed as acceptable behavior. In so doing, you must identify the value systems underlying both traditional and alternative views on the issues. Your literature review may focus on normal development in adolescence or adulthood, or abnormal development. Illustrating your literature with case examples, either from your field experiences or the literature is required. For example, you may focus on abnormal development in adolescence, providing a case example of how teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, or depression may derail the normal development process. Additionally, each student will be responsible for interviewing a MSW faculty member who has experience with your topic to learn how the individual applies and integrates knowledge and values relating to human behavior and the social environment in their practice with clients with your selected developmental task. The student must also discuss the implications of the research for social work practice and social policy. (See Objectives 1, 7, 8, 11, 12). If you should use a work experience or field experience, please protect the identity of all individuals involved by changing the names, dates, and locales to protect the innocent persons involved. Option B: Use developmental/ecological theory to address a psychosocial problem. Problem description : Identify a psychosocial problem, e.g., a phenomenon of psychosocial pain or distress, experienced in a particular population group, in particular individuals, or in families. Based on 5-10 background readings, articl.

HEA 520 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. The landscape of higher education is constantly changing to respond to internal and external factors such as shifting demographics, federal and state government regulations, state funding, educational system changes, and costs. These factors produce both planned and unplanned changes in the higher education organization, which, in turn, impact students, employees, and organizational health. To be effective leaders, higher education administrators must be astute in recognizing, naming, planning for, and responding to these changes that impact the sociotechnical, structural, and cultural systems of university organizations. For the final project, you will create a research paper on a contemporary national issue addressing the current shifts and changing role of higher education in the twenty-first century. You will analyze the historical and current impact of the issue and associated trend on higher education institutions, using empirical data to illustrate how and why the trend impacts higher education institutions now and in the future. You will conclude your research paper by reflecting on the impact of the issue on your personal educational and professional experiences and pursuits.

Rough draft Thesis statement The concept of sociology is older than the European social observers. Support for the thesis statement It is believed that the concept of sociology emerged when the European social observers began to test their ideas scientifically and the Europeans came up with three factors to explain the origin of sociology. Looking at their argument, then it will try to assume that sociology started with the Europeans but this is not true because people still lived in social groups long before the Europeans tested their ideas scientifically. (Pierre Saint-Arnaud, 2009) Looking back at the meaning of the term sociology, it is simply the study of society; it involves how people interact either in groups or in their environs thus the statement clearly states that the term sociology is much older than the European social observers because people have been living in groups and interacting, the Europeans only studied this scientifically but did not introduce the social life to people. (Graaff, 2001) Theory that supports the argument The symbolic interaction theory could best suite the thesis statement this is because it explains on the fact that people develop and rely on the process of interacting socially. Symbolic interaction theory studies society in a subjective meaning because it is believed that people react and behave depending on what they believe is true. Thus, society is believed to be constructed socially through the interpretation of humans. People interpret one another’s behavior and these interpretations form the social bond.(Buket Kısac, 2009) Conclusion We can therefore conclude that the term sociology is older than the European social observers simply because people have been interacting long before the Europeans observed this scientifically that .

Some historians call the 20th century the American Century, which is very relevant to the Cold War, because for the first time in Europe's history it was more heavily influenced by America than vice versa. However, America was not the only great power impacting the politics, military, and economy of Western Europe. The Soviet Union was also pulling the strings of many governments. The Cold War is more than just a period of idealogical conflict in Europe. It is a period a dramatic self reflection for the continent. Caught between the spheres of influence of two new super powers, Europe had to decide what it wanted to look like. It had to heal from the second of two devastating world wars. It had to rebuild, and in so doing it had to determine what type of governments, social network, and cultural development it wanted to pursue. This week you will pick four countries in Europe. Pick at least one from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and one from Southern Europe. The fourth country can be from any region. Discuss what it looked like over the forty-five period of the Cold War. Did it align with America or the Soviet Union? What kind of political success or difficulties did it have? How did its economy fair? Who was its major leaders? Did it experience any major political, cultural, or intellectual revolutions? Type a SOLID paragraph for each country. .

Sociology came into existence in the 19th century to explain the enormous changes occasioned by the Industrial Revolution, urbanization, and an individualistic mind-set. Unlike agrarian communities, the emerging urban populations were large, numbering in the tens of thousands. These city dwellers neither grew their own food nor knew each other. In characterizing individuals, they found it convenient to speak in categories or stereotypes. According to the structural-functional perspective, stereotypes served an important communication function, helping them to compare and contrast groups. The social-conflict perspective, on the other hand, argues that stereotypes serve the needs of those groups and categories benefitting from social inequality. Stereotypes help dominant groups to contrast social categories and to justify subordinating the less powerful. Furthermore, by lumping subordinate groups into faceless statistical categories, members of the dominant group dissipate the guilt they would have felt were they dealing with the subordinate categories as individuals. Based on your readings, the online lectures, and your understanding of the above-noted issues, prepare a response to the following question: Is it possible to speak of ethnic groups in America in terms other than stereotypes? Create a response in 3 paragraphs to the discussion question. Cite sources and include references in your response. Submit your response to the Discussion Area by Saturday, October 22, 2016 . Through Wednesday, October 26, 2016 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. .

Socialization To begin the process of socialization, having a clear understanding of the definition of nursing is essential. We know what nurses do, but how do we define nursing? Why is defining nursing important? To answer this last question, defining nursing is important for several reasons:To differentiate nursing from other professions.To define our practiceTo provide guidelines for nursing educationTo make nursing visible to the public and policy makers While there may be multiple definitions of nursing from professional organization and state boards of nursing, similar characteristics can be found in all of them. The American Nurses Association offers the following definition: Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. Knowing what nursing is, supports your move into the nursing role. Socialization is the process of internalizing knowledge, skills, attitudes and other concepts needed to function in a role. You have been socialized into your current role. However, after graduating with your BSN, there will be another socialization process as you take on the broader role of the nurse with a BSN. Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32). Instructions You are a licensed practice nurse (LPN) collaborating with a registered nurse (RN) for hospital-wide in-service on healthcare associated infections (HAI). After the in-service, a representative from each hospital department will receive an infographic to post in their respective unit. Your job is to create an infographic on preventing HAIs. The infographic should: · Be a one-page visual representation of about Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIS) · Identify common types of HAIs (healthcare associated infections) · Include data or statistics about HAIs · Describe prevention strategies for HAIs Nursing Ethics The Code of Ethics for Nurses of 2015, given by American Nurses Association (ANA), outlines the ethical basis for the nursing profession. It contains nine provisions, which cover the nurses' responsibilities toward the patients, maintenance of their personal professional growth, and their responsibilities to the profession and community.
