Include one source outside the webtext or lecture. 1968 was a year of social upheaval in the U.S. Consider these events and others as you respond to the discussion question this week. The Tet Offensive was a surprise military action launched by North Vietnam in January 1968 against South Vietnam and allied U.S. forces. The Johnson administration's poor handling of this event and lack of honesty in addressing the American public gave momentum to the anti-war movement. Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy were assassinated in the spring of 1968. Also in the spring of 1968, student activists organized campus protests, rallies, sit-ins , and marches, culminating in the largest student strike in U.S. history on April 26. The Democratic National Convention was disrupted by anti-war demonstrations. .

Draft the design of a new model program, not currently existent within your community. Provide a two- to- three paragraph statement that introduces your proposed community program. This section is tentative and might change as you conduct more research. At a minimum, however, items to address should include: An explanation of the issues and risk factors experienced by the selected population. An evaluation of the health needs of the group and a proposed continuum of care level (preventive, treatment, or long-term care) based on the group’s issues, risk factors, and needs.

Voices of Democracy The documents created at the inception of American democracy trace their lineage to the Magna Carta signed by King John of England in 1215. The Magna Carta was written by King John’s Barons to protect their rights and property from the King. They forced the King to affix his seal to the document under threat of civil war. The American colonists believed they were the inheritors of those rights from the King of England and as a result the Magna Carta was an inspiration for the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, wrote about every man’s fundamental right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The framers of the United States Constitution sought to design a system of government that would help make the ideals of the Declaration of Independence a reality. Today, United States Supreme Court justices refer to the Constitution as “the supreme law of the land” for guidance as they attempt to adjudicate modern-day conflicts. Much of the influence and authority of the Supreme Court rests in the interpretation of the original concepts and principles of the Constitution. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Declaration of Independence in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the democratic principles outlined in the document. Review the transcript of the Constitution of the United States in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the relationship between the principles summarized in the Constitution and those detailed in the Declaration of Independence. Review the article “Magna Carta and Its American Legacy” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how the Magna Carta influenced concepts and principles in founding documents of democracy. Peruse the Supreme Court of the United States website and review arguments for current cases. Select a democratic concept or principle that is represented in the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution. Think about where and how your selection appears in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, and how it might be used by a Supreme Court justice in a Supreme Court case. If you live outside the United States, how do you think this democratic principle might affect the court system in your country? With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 an analysis of the democratic concept or principle represented in the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution you selected for this Discussion and an explanation of why you selected it.Explain how the concept or principle might be used by a Supreme Court justice in a modern-day Supreme Court case to adjudicate a current conflict. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. .

Virtual Private Networks The successful operation of a VPN depends not only on its hardware and software components and overall configuration but also on a number of best practices. Each VPN connection extends your network to a location that is out of your control, and each such connection can open up your network to intrusions, viruses, or other problems. In a company or corporate setting, the VPN is likely to be used by many different workers in many different locations. A VPN policy is essential for identifying who can use the VPN and for ensuring that all users know what constitutes proper use of the VPN. Mr. Deese, CEO of Nitro Hardware Company, requests that you research implementing a Virtual Private Network so employees can access their files outside of work. Compose a 2-3 page report to CEO Deese that describes how a VPN can be implemented and what security protocols are needed to protect the Nitro Hardware Company’s digital information. Please compose your report in APA style citing a minimum of 2 sources of information. .

Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years. To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity.

Vignette of Annie Annie is a 47-year-old Chinese-American woman who has come to therapy because of difficulties she is having with her husband. Since her last child left home for college, Annie has felt increasingly lonely and has been asking her husband to spend more and more time with her. His response has been to become angry and critical, saying her expectations are unreasonable and that she needs to find other ways to fill up her time. For over two years, Annie has felt sad most of the day. She has low energy, poor concentration, and often feels a sense of hopelessness. Annie is in good health and does not use alcohol or drugs. She has not felt this "low" before in her life. Annie does admit that she has always felt a lack of confidence in herself, even as a child, and has relied on friends and family to provide guidance and direction. She remembers a reluctance, dating back to elementary school. to disagree or express a different opinion for fear of losing friends. She has looked to her son and husband to make all of the important decisions in the family, and has counted on her two daughters for continual reassurance. Annie hates to be by herself and cannot imagine being able to face life on her own. She is terrified that her husband may leave her and has been clinging more to her friends, calling them frequently and asking them for advice. Lately her friends have been less available for her however, and suggested that she should really be talking to a therapist about these things. This has made Annie feel even more frightened and unhappy. Based on the information presented, address the following questions: What diagnosis would you give this client? Provide the rationale for your choices, linking the client's symptoms to specific DSM-5 criteria. How might age, gender, ethnicity, and relationship dynamics contribute to the symptoms and issues this client is presenting? How is neurocognitive functioning impacted by a personality disorder? How might a personality disorder be exacerbated by neurocognitive problems? What factors would you need to consider when developing a treatment plan for this client? How would a personality disorder diagnosis impact the client-counselor relationship, goals of therapy, and interventions you might choose? .
