1. On a societal level there seems to be little interest in our criminal justice process beyond sensational news bites on TV and radio. People seem to support been tough on crime by enacting tougher laws which result in longer prison time and pay little attention to prevention. Research has shown that education, job training and placement have helped convicted people find a pathway around criminal activities but on a societal level there seems to be little interest in going in this direction. What is the reason tax dollars are not committed to follow what seems to be successful? 2. Several states treat young people between the ages of 16 and 20 years as adults when they are arrested and put on trail. When they are convicted, they are placed in adult prisons. Even when they are placed in juvenile institutions, they are often in "lock down" conditions and solitary confinement. Juvenile advocates reject this type of treatment. What is your analysis of the type of treatment for juveniles? .

Without having any background knowledge on the situation of Governor Bob Riley and his efforts to implement a sweeping tax reform on the State of Alabama, there are some significant things that caught my attention within the video. The State of Alabama was already experiencing major deficit and a lower class population which was severely affected by the suffering education system in turn contributing to a population which would have difficulty moving up in class. It seems that there were not many options available to the State of Alabama; either a sweeping reform which would significantly increase taxes (though Riley assigned these hikes to the wealthy) or significant budget cuts which would affect some already suffering divisions funded by the budget. In an effort to persuade the voters to support and vote yes for his reform, Bob Riley fell back on political jockeying. He used religion to encourage people to follow the plan he was pushing for. Within his political messages he stated the Christian way to handle the deficit was to tax the wealthy because his Testament reveals that the rich should take care of the less fortunate. Is political jockeying an appropriate method in government? Should it be present in the development of state budgets, executive activity, or legislative activity? I think to an extent it may sometimes be acceptable. But the means that should be used to persuade voters on policies should be facts and statistical information which supports what will occur with a policy. And perhaps more of an explanation of a personal opinion. I think the efforts used in Riley’s scenario almost placed a guilt on others. The interesting thing about his political jockeying efforts is that the population that was being targeted to benefit the most were the ones who seem to have opposed his reform during the voting process. .

Within the field of healthcare, there are three main viewpoints related to the use of financial information. They are the: 1. financial view 2. process view 3. clinical view 1) After reading the materials for the week, discuss the main areas of overlap within the three viewpoints. 2) Does this overlap create potential areas of conflict? 3) If so, as a manager, how would we proactively address these areas before they negatively impacted our department or organization? APA style 1 – 2 pages Citation of at least 4 recent studies (within 5 years) Be sure to cite your references accordingly. Reading the materials for the week From text book Gapenski, L. C., & Pink, G. H. (2015). Understanding healthcare financial management (7th ed.). Chicago: Association of University Programs in Health Administration and Health Administration Press. ISBN 9781567937060.: Financial View · The financial view is held by those who normally handle finance on a daily basis, such as auditors, accountants, and financial analysts. · Their strength lies in their ability to interpret data and spot problems before they become too critical. · One of the key weaknesses is that these individuals are often very good with the minute details but often have a difficult time with the big picture. Process View · The process view is normally held by those individuals who are responsible for the financial systems and typically comprise the information technology departments. · Their strength is the ability to take raw data and turn it into meaningful reports. · Their weakness lies in not having all information at once. Since there are normally multiple individuals working in this department, each individual may have various pieces of the financial puzzle, but few have the ability to see it all. Clinical View · The clinical view is normally held by those who are responsible for the day to day interactions of the patients and are usually the licensed healthcare professionals. · Their strength lies in their desire to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient and they generally serve as the patients’ advocate. · Their weakness may actually be the same as their strength. Many clinical individuals want to provide the best for their patients, regardless of cost. Therefore, they may have a difficult time balancing the needs of the patients with the needs of the organization. There are strengths and weaknesses to each viewpoint. Perhaps the ideal viewpoint would be where these three perspectives overlap. However, it is certainly not an easy task. Being able to see through each one of these lenses requires that the individual manager be in constant communication with other departments. While it may not be possible to fully integrate all three perspectives, being aware of them better prepares the manager to meet both patient and organizational objectives.

Within the Unit I Podcast, Chantell, Dayna, and Dr. Rogers discuss how technological improvements have led to an increase in remote workers and ways to connect with remote team members. Do you believe leaders can use the same strategies to connect with remote workers as they would with an onsite team? Why, or why not? ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTION AND REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS or MORE) CLASSMATE’S POST In the podcast discussion about remote workers, the important points I understood was building a trustful and dependable relationship with the remote workers. Making a connection and continuing that connection at all times. I believe with the technology available today, teleconferencing, videoconferencing and real-time communications by phone, that leadership can build as meaningful a relationship with remote workers as with in house workers. Remote workers want their tasks communicated well to them and they want the tools they need to get their jobs done. They also want to know that their contribution to the organization is just as important as others. I have been in the position of a remote worker and understand the possible challenges. I appreciated leaders that would not only ask questions about the operational efforts but also about the personal and emotional needs of the remote workers. The success of the organization is dependent on all team members being connected and pulling together towards the same goal of exceeding the strategic vision of the business. .

Within the last several years, Adobe Flash became the dominant format for embedding video on the Web because Adobe Flash Player was free and available on a variety of different platforms and operating systems. However in April 2010, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, explained that Apple would not support Flash on its mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPod, and iPad. Among the reasons cited, Jobs included his concerns that a) Flash was proprietary, a fact that inhibits the future development of multimedia on the Web; b) Flash was not secure or reliable and adversely affects the performance of mobile devices; c) Flash was a significant drain on battery life; and d) Flash was designed for PCs using a mouse interface and could not be adapted to the touch interface found on mobile devices. Rather than relying on Flash, Jobs advocated the continuing development of open standards for Web video including the rapid adoption of HTML5. However, thousands of Web sites had made considerable investments in Flash and were not happy with the prospect of significantly retooling their sites. In response, in March 2011, Adobe released a tool to convert Flash files to HTML5-compatible formats so they run on Apple's mobile devices. Also, Flash is supported on several mobile operating systems, such as the Android platform for mobile devices. Users running older browsers will not be able to use HTML5 video; so for complete cross-browser support, you'll make a Flash version of the Royal Wedding clip available to users. Maxine has created an Adobe Flash Player file named rwdance.swf containing both the video clip and the controls to run it. Does Jobs have a point? Is it better for web developers to rely on one proprietary means of displaying video? Is it best to have a standard? If so, how should a standard be developed? If not, what's better about varied means? .

Within the criminal justice system, the classification of the crime and the classification of the offender will, in large part, determine the available pathways for the offender to return to the community. Individuals who have committed violent crimes are less likely to be allowed probation as an alternative to incarceration, whereas first-time offenders are likely to be seen as better candidates for community treatment programs. The Assignment (2–3 pages): Consider an offender group relevant to your current or future profession, including needs and concerns for this group. Ex. Sex offenders, abusive/neglectful parents, etc. Analyze the community placement pathways available for offenders in your community (city/county/state). Explain what they are, how they work, and the strengths and limitations of each. Evaluate the Interactive Community in terms of resources and pathways for the offender population you selected. Explain what is done well and what could be improved regarding the resources available. Be specific and include references to any relevant resources from the week.

Within Sociology as well as in social psychology, it is noted that an in-group basically is a social group whereby an individual gets to identify themselves as a member psychologically. On the other hand, an Out-group basically is defined as a social group which a person is not able to identify with. For instance, individuals are in a position of identifying themselves with same peer group, a political party, community, family, religion, sports team nation or even gender. It is evident that with the membership that is psychological regarding social groups in addition to classifications happens to be linked to a phenomenon that is of a wide range. There is the presence of stereotypes within interactions in between various social groups in addition to gender stereotypes being considered as prevalent. (Buss, 2015). In-group It is known that the automatic in-group bias of women is evidently stronger as compared to that of men. This is because only women are in a position of showing balance that is cognitive across in-group identity, self-esteem as well as bias. This is an indication that men do not have any mechanism in place for bolstering preference for own group automatically. There is bias that is pro-female to a point the individuals tend to favor their own mothers as compared to their fathers, there is also the association of the gender that is male with violence which is an indication that bonding that is maternal as well as intimidation of male have an influence on the gender attitudes. (De La Cerda and Warnell, 2020). Out-group Additionally, within in-group bias as well as Out-group bias, it happens that the men who are experiences sexually, have an attitude that is more positive in addition to favoring women implicitly. In addition, through the adoption of an approach that is evolutionary to the race bias psychology, it is possible to posit that conflict that is between intergroup which has been perpetrated by aggressors who are men all through the evolutionary history of human, has played a role in shaping the modern types psychology in relation to Out-group bias whereby, the psychology is a reflection of the unique adaptive challenges differing in between women as well as men when trying to cope with the aggressors who are male from the out-groups. In conclusion there tends to be very minimal differences in between women as well as men as the conformity they tend to exhibit, in addition, these differences are said to be impacted by the social circumstances where the conformity happens to take place through the differences in gender. On an average basis, women in addition to men have levels that are different in relation to self-concern in addition to different concern. Men basically on averagely, are said to have more focus on their appearance of having a status that is high in addition to having the capacity to illustrate the status through independent acting from other people’s perceptions. (Harvard, et.al, 2021). .

With the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act three specific things became illegal; (1) Segregation of Public Accommodations, (2) Discrimination in Employment and (3) added Gender as a protected class. Today there is still "Defacto Segregation" (segregation of the races not based on law). There is still discrimination in employment (and many other things) against people of color and other legally protected class of people. Women despite laws against it still make over 20 cents per dollar less than men for doing the same work. In 500 words, what is your theory as to why we still have these problems of discrimination and unequal treatment based on color, nationality, culture, sexual orientation and gender? .
