Assignment 3: Views on Diversity **FOR SOLUTIONS PRO.** 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. You have been provided an Informed Consent document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment. Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers: When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term? Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you? Do you think the majority of people in our culture: Respect cultural differences among groups of people. Show indifference to cultural differences. Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice. If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be? Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues: What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture? Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case. Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions? by Wednesday, June 15, 2016 . Your response should be at least two pages long . All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. .

Write a 3–5-page essay analyzing from a sociological perspective a chosen diversity issue covered in the media. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: SHOW LESS Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy. Discuss how minority and dominant groups are portrayed in a media piece in relation to the influence of power. Discuss sociological concepts or theories appropriate for understanding the portrayal of diversity in the media. Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U. S. culture. Summarize a media piece using the sociological perspective on diversity. Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data. Analyze data that are appropriate for supporting or refuting the central tenets of media piece. Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting. Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics. How are different social groups portrayed in the mass media in contemporary society? How far have we come in terms of reducing or eliminating stereotypical images and portrayals of minority groups? To answer these questions, we need to place them in the context of the economic, technological, and social changes that have shaped postindustrial U.S. society and affected relationships between diverse groups in our society. For example, watching TV sitcoms and dramas today we see not only much greater diversity in cast members but also minority group members playing leading roles, something that was much less common just a few decades ago. As you analyze how the various media forms portray cultural diversity, another thing to consider is the role of people with power in the media industry—those who make the decisions about what stories and images appear on a TV news program or magazine or newspaper article and how those programs or stories will be framed. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment. SHOW LESS Some sociologists who study the media argue that the media is a reflection of what is already happening in society, while others contend that the media manipulates its audience by portraying events or issues with a particular slant or goal in mind. What do you think? Does the media reflect what is already going on in society, or.

APA Format/Abstract Page/ Project Selection and Competency Self-Assessment Overview Cultural exchanges in the work environment are complicated by their very nature. However, differences in race, ethnicity, class, gender, and religion can add to the complexity and further intensify even the most basic misunderstanding. In order for you to more fully comprehend this phenomenon, your first assignment (and the first of three for your course project) will begin in the context of the work place. By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria: Competency 1: Analyze the influence of culture on attitudes, values, perception, human behavior, and interpersonal relations. Explain why an identified problem is relevant or important to fostering the understanding of diversity issues. Competency 2: Analyze individual cultural competencies. Identify individual cultural competencies. Analyze one's own cultural knowledge, awareness, sensitivity, and actions. Competency 3: Analyze culturally and developmentally appropriate intervention strategies. Describe the essential elements of a cultural conflict. Competency 4: Apply theories, methods, and research in cross-cultural awareness. Describe a project research question. Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the human services profession. Communicate in a professional manner, using concise, well organized, and grammatically correct writing that incorporates appropriate APA style and conventions. Assignment Instructions Part 1 Describe a fictional or real-life, work related conflict that has arisen from, and is complicated by, cultural differences. This scenario will serve as the basis for your course project. Write a two-page narrative detailing pertinent information about your scenario including: A clear statement of the conflict and project research question. A description of the essential elements of the conflict, including any relevant details leading up to the conflict. A discussion of the cultural competencies of the participants. A rationale for the relevance or importance of this scenario to foster the understanding of diversity issues. Part 2 It is also important for you to be aware of your own cultural competencies or how well you are able to act with people from other cultures. At the end of this course, you will be asked to assess how participating in this course has contributed to your personal and professional growth. In order to do that, it is helpful to have a starting point for your reflection. Refer to the Sperry (2012) article on cultural competencies from this unit's readings. Continue your narrative and reflect on your cultural knowledge, awareness, sensitivity, and action—the four components of cultural competence outlined by Sperry. Be explicit in your reflection and assess your ability in each area as very high, high.

Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination In many cases, prejudice stems from the unknown. As individuals, we tend to migrate toward those who may look like us, act like us, and think like us. As a result, it may be difficult for us to open our minds and embrace those whose values, beliefs, and overall sense of self differ from our own. For this assignment, compose a paper that is three to four pages in length. In your paper, discuss the impacts of prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination in the context of social psychology. Be sure to address the following points: 1. Define and describe the following terms: prejudice, stereotype, discrimination, and ingroup vs. outgroup. Based on your own experiences in the social world, can you relate to any of these terms? Do you identify with a particular term? Why or why not? 2. Examine the social, cognitive, and societal origins of prejudice and stereotypes. Be sure to include specific information regarding categorization, such as ingroup favoritism and the outgroup homogeneity effect, norms, competition for resources, and social inequalities. Of the categories presented, which do you think are the most significant in our society and in your particular community? 3. Analyze the influences that promote stereotyping, and offer strategies to reduce prejudice. What are the consequences of stereotyping and discrimination? Who does this behavior hurt, and in what ways does it hurt them? Are we inadvertently creating self-fulfilling prophecies in our society? If so, how can we take steps to improve attitudes, judgments, and behaviors? Your paper must include an introduction, a thesis statement, and a conclusion. Your completed assignment should be three to four pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), include a minimum of three references, and follow APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment. .

The focus of your interview should be this person’s beliefs and feelings about how the media treat members of his or her multicultural group. How have the media impacted her/his life? How have the media helped to define who s/he is? Specific examples are needed. Some of the questions you may want to ask include: ● How do you prefer to be addressed as a member of your group? ● Where did you grow up? ● How did you feel growing up as a member of your cultural group? ● Have you ever experienced insensitivity, prejudice, or discrimination because of your race/ethnic background/religion/sexual orientation/age/disability? Please explain. ● How do you think the media have portrayed/represented people from your group? Are the portrayals positive or negative? (You may consider asking about various types of media and whether s/he has noticed a difference between portrayals in news media and entertainment media.) Ask for specific examples -- the more the better (titles of movies and perhaps character name if relevant; TV shows and characters; songs; names of video games; CNN, FOX, or other news source; etc.). ● What messages about your cultural group have you gotten from the media? Ask for specific examples. Again: are there different messages being presented in different media? Are mediated messages different in news media than they are in entertainment media? Specific examples will be helpful. ● What role have the media played in helping you to define yourself (as a member of your cultural group)? ● Have you ever been interviewed by the media? Was your experience positive or negative? (Please specify.) What advice would you give reporters about coverage of groups such as yourself? (Again, ask for specifics.) (No need to include info about this if s/he has never been interviewed by the media!)

Understanding the impact of diversity on an individual’s cognitive, physical, and social-emotional developmental processes requires an examination of a multitude of characteristics, including gender, race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc. In addition, behavior within a group is important to examine, along with the similarities and differences of behaviors and attitudes across groups. The goal of understanding the impact of diversity is not to determine whether one group is inferior to another, but to gain an appreciation of the breadth and depth of variability in human behavior. Cross-cultural investigation allows for the testing of theoretical concepts and predictions to evaluate their generalizability (Jensen, 2012). Another outcome of studying the results of cross-cultural research is that, as a psychology professional, you will be better equipped to empathize with and advocate for those you will be serving. For this Discussion, you will explore how diversity shapes and influences cognitive and social-emotional developmental processes. To prepare for this Discussion: Review and consider the same fictional human character from your Discussion 1 for this week. Also, consider only the cognitive and social-emotional developmental processes and how diversity * shapes and influences these processes. *Diversity includes but is not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc. It is not the same as adversity , which refers to a difficulty or tragedy in one’s life. Think about the kinds of attitudes and behaviors that might be generated from someone who grew up in a collectivist society, which is common in Asian cultures, compared to the attitudes of someone who grew up in an individualistic society, such as that found in the United States. By Day 4 Post a 1- to 2-sentence description of the fictional human character (i.e., cartoon character, film/TV character, virtual character) you selected. Then, explain how diversity might shape and influence his/her cognitive and social-emotional developmental processes. Be specific in your post and provide examples. Use your Learning Resources and/or other scholarly sources to support your post. Use proper APA format and citations to support your post. ...

Develop a 4-5 page analysis of your experience with gender socialization. In doing so, analyze how gender is created by society, specifically looking at children's toys and/or clothing. Culture is the glue that holds a society together—it is what encourages the members of that society to cooperate with each other as much as possible. We learn culture through socialization, the lifelong social experience. From birth we are taught how to be members of our society. The most common agents of socialization are our family, peers, school, and media. The family, for example, influences a child's development by such things as the way the parents hold the baby, look at it, talk to it, and respond to its needs. We take on typical gender roles from the beginning as girls are given pink clothes while boys are given blue. Family socialization is reinforced or modified by experiences at school and with peers, by the mass media, and by interaction with others. Socialization, the lifelong social experience through which we learn culture, is vital to becoming members of a society. In this assessment, we look at the sociological concepts of culture and socialization and how they impact our behavior and attitudes. Demonstration of Proficiency By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Examine how theory and sociological concepts apply to everyday life. Identify gender-specific childhood clothing and/or toys. Competency 2: Explain the basic tools of sociological inquiry. Summarize gender socialization sources. Explain the validity and helpfulness of gender socialization sources. Competency 4: Analyze the influence of culture on both the individual and society. Describe the impact of gender-specific messages towards one's self. Analyze how gender-specific messages of childhood clothing and/or toys reflect larger societal expectations. Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience. Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics. For this assessment, you analyze how gender is created by society, specifically looking at children's toys and/or clothing. The purpose of this assessment is twofold: It helps you to start thinking about the impact of socialization on your life as a starting point. This first analysis will be used again for Assessment 6. It also requires you to locate and evaluate resources on socialization and these resources may be used in Assessment 6. Deliverable Write an essay in which you complete all of the following: PART 1 Examine the toys and clothing you had as a child. Describe the clothing and toys from your childhood and identify which were gender-specific. PART 2 Examine your experience with gender socialization. Describe t.

Numeric Grade: 22 / 30 pts Letter Grade: The following questions should serve as a guide for your entry: · What is one group (racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, gender, religious, social class, etc.) with which you feel you can identify in terms of belonging to this group? · Would you consider this group a majority or minority group? Why? · How important is this group identity to you? If it is very important, what do you think makes it important? If it is not, why do you think it is not important to you? · In what way or ways might this group identity help to shape your view of the world? · How is your ability to be objective about minority-majority issues influenced, either positively or negatively by this group identity? Comments: Carl, you’ve done a very good job on your first journal entry and your application of the concepts of “machismo” and objectivity. See my comment on the definition of minority. Are Hispanics considered a minority only due to their numbers? Other relevant concepts that might apply to what you’ve written here might be symbolic interaction and cultural differentiation. You needed to apply two theories this week. You might have used social identity theory to explain your feeling of comfort around those like you in terms of the ethnicity and social status. You might also have used Interactionist theory to explain the process of cultural transmission of Hispanic norms and values, especially those that apply to Hispanic males as well as to explain why skin color may be significant in the U.S. while it is not as significant in Latin American countries. Interactionists would also suggest that taking one’s time may be interpreted as being lazy in the US and this might result in conflict. Our culture shapes our perceptions and in turn, this influences how we react to those who are not like us in certain respects. Your APA format is very good overall. If the information cited is quoted material, then you also need to include the page number on which the quoted material is located. As noted in the instructions, these journals are “practice” for the paper. They are meant to help you in applying concepts and theory, so be sure to follow my comments and the feedback I give you each week. Review the rubric below to see where you need to concentrate on improving your entries. If you do not understand something, please contact me. Thanks! Instructor C :-) The ethnic group with which I feel I can identify in terms of belonging to this group is Hispanic. I would consider this group to be a minority group and so does society. Although Hispanics have grown significantly in numbers throughout the United States their numbers as far as population goes are still low in comparison to others in the United States[k1] . Hispanics have grown to be the largest minority group in the United States (Parrillo, 2011). Being Hispanic to me is very important. It signifies who I am and what I am about.

Write a (6)-page paper with references in APA format. Required elements Description of the disorder Priority Nursing Diagnosis and why Nursing Assessment / Clinical Manifestations Nursing Plan/ Goals/ Outcomes Nursing Interventions Nursing Evaluations Patient and Family teaching Conclusion/ Summary Cites four (4) APA format references (at least 5 years old) TOTAL Scene 1 A is on his phone, looking at Twitter and Instagram B is A’s friend and recently doing social media addiction research. B comes inside this room B: Hey A, how’s your day! A: Great, Look I just found another interesting app called Instagram! B: Not again! You’re always on your phone! A: I just downloaded it 3 days ago, it’s fun, you should try it. B: Did you know (switch to data information) that 60% of adolescent’s sleeping patterns are affected by the use of their phones an hour before bed. This can lead to sleep deprivation. The use of social media keeps our brain highly active and therefore it takes longer to get into a deep sleep, which means we don’t get enough sleep for our brains to properly function. Sleep deprivation is one of the key factors to developing depression and can lead to an overall in the quality of an someone’s life. A: So, if I stop playing on my phone before I sleep then I will be fine? Are there any other negative effects of using social media? (switch to data information) B: There are so many more negative effects that social media has on us. Adults spend around 32% of their total work time on social media, and this causes a major reduction in the overall productivity, studies show that it reduces by 13%. A decline in productivity rates can directly affect the profitability of an organisation. Heavy use of social media can also have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. Heavy users of social media have a 13%-66% higher chance of developing depression. This is a due to low self-esteem and isolation from heavy use of social media, as you are constantly looking and comparing your life to everyone else’s. It also leads to less physical activity and less opportunity to develop real authentic relationships. Do you find that you prefer to communicate with people over social media instead of face to face? A: Yes I do! B: The other one of the major risks of using social media is exposure to online abuse from “bullies” or “trolls”. Around one in 13 people in Australian have experienced some kind of online abuse, such as threats of death, rape, sexual assault, and stalking. Race-based abusive language is also common. A portion of these people who were exposed to online abuse had to seek help from a doctor or psychologist which negatively impacts work productivity. As a result, the loss of productivity has estimated to cost the Aust.

Reflection Assignment This week there will be no formal discussion for our class. However, there is a reading assignment. Based on the reading assignment there is a reflection requirement. This is basically a written paragraph of about five to six sentences about what you have read. Your reflection should be posted on the discussion board (remember it is just a paragraph of five to six sentences) regarding your readings for this week. No discussions are required this week. Reading Assignment Our reading assignment for our class this week will involve: Chapter 16 – Internet, Secondary Analysis and Historical Research Chapter 17 - Intervention Your class participation is the basis for grading of this requirement. Please note that I am actively going through everyone’s phrase three written assignments. Thank you for your continued diligence in our course. Under chapter 16 this week, we will explore topics such as incorporating the internet for your research, revisiting participant testing as well as interviewing. Ethical concerns, historical research, and its appraisal. In review of chapter 17, intervention in research will be explained. As per our text, not all research involves an intervention. Frequently, interventions are seen within improvement projects frequently completed in DNP programs. At this phase of research, the principle investigator interacts with their research team. Documentation stems from the methodology section. Investigating the internet in research, please know and understand the following. Internet-based research method refers to any research method that uses the Internet to collect data. Most commonly, the Web has been used as the means for conducting the study, but e-mail has been used as well. The use of e-mail to collect data dates back to the 1980s while the first uses of the Web to collect data started in the mid-1990s. Whereas e-mail is principally limited to survey and questionnaire methodology, the Web, with its ability to use media, has the ability to execute full experiments and implement a wide variety of research methods. The use of the Internet offers new opportunities for access to participants allowing for larger and more diverse samples. Reference Salkind, N. J. (2010). Encyclopedia of research design (Vols. 1-0). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. doi: 10.4135/9781412961288 Secondary analysis is the re-analysis of either qualitative or quantitative data already collected in a previous study, by a different researcher normally wishing to address a new research question. Reference Tate, J. A., Happ, M. B. (2018). Qualitative secondary analysis: A case exemplar. Journal of Pediatric Health Care . Volume 32, Issue 3, p. 308-312.

Reflection assignments 1. Action-observation-reflection model: Leadership development is enhanced when people do something (act), note what happened (observe), and think about what occurred (reflect). 2. Leadership and Maxims: You will write down the leadership maxims (three to five that are of most interest to you) of a personal or famous leader. In what situations do they work or not work, how would you go about testing the maxims. 3. Upon completing your personality profile, describe the results of each section or facet of the profile, discuss if you believe the profile fits your self-perception or image and share the profile with a good friend or family member and record their reactions concerning how well they believe the profile fits you. 4. Chapter 8 discussed several skills identified important to good leaders. These skills were: (a) Building Credibility, (b) Communication, (c) Listening, (d) Assertiveness, (e) Conducting Meetings, (f) Effective Stress Management, (g) Problem solving, and (h) Improving creativity. Although you might not engage in all of these activities at work or in school, choose four of the eight skills that you believe are most important, and discuss how you personally improve these skills for effective leadership development. 5. Stages: There are four well-known stages all groups move through prior to becoming cohesive, they are: (a) Forming, (b) Storming, (c) Norming, and (d) Performing first developed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965. Later, adjouring was added to the original four to make: (a) Forming, (b) Storming, (c) Norming, (d) Performing, and (e) Adjourning. Describe a recent school, work or family group you were a part of; did you notice these various stages? Now you are aware of these stages, do you believe any of these stages can be skipped and is there a “price” in skipping any of these stages? 6. In Chapter 13, p. 522, Highlight 13.6, Edgar Schein is introduced as a significant figure in the theory of organizational development, career development, group process consultation, and organizational culture. Briefly provide a historical background on Schein’s theory’s and describe an organization you were or are a part of in terms of these 4 factors: myths/symbols/ritual/language. How do you think those factors affect leadership in that organization? 7. Level 5 Leadership: In chapter 15, pp. 614-615, Highlight 15.9 discussed the concept of Good to Great. Within the confines of leadership and change discussed throughout much of the chapter, answer the first question focused on Level 5 leadership. The chapter spent a good deal of time discussing three types of leadership personalities: (a) Charismatic leadership, (b) Transformational leadership, and (c) Transactional leadership, how would each of these personalities fit into the Level 5 leadership model? 8.

Reflection assignments are essays, based on the assigned chapters noted in the syllabus. Type your reflection using correct grammar, spelling, writing mechanics and articulation. Each reflection assignment should be a minimum of 2 pages (it can be longer), double-spaced with one inch margins and size 12 font. Upload your reflection into D2L. Follow these directions: Identify one passage from the assigned book (introduction through chapter 4), The Collapse of American Criminal Justice, that you find interesting, thought-provoking, controversial or one with which you agree or disagree. Begin your reflection assignment by reprinting the quoted passage and also provide the page #. Then reflect on the passage, explaining why you chose it, what you think about it, why it is or is not important, and/or how the passage relates to other theories, ideas, concepts, history, or findings from the lectures, reading and/or from other credible sources. In addition to the book, cite other sources as you analyze each passage in order to support your opinions, reasoning and observations. Use APA Edition 6 for all sources. A rubric will be used to grade your reflections; if instructor feedback seems auto-generated, that’s because it is. The best two or three reflection assignments will be posted so that great work can be recognized and other students have examples on how to improve. To be considered for this honor, permission must be granted in the form of a quiz to be completed in the week 1 module. EXAMPLE “Violence was not controlled chiefly through criminal punishment… it was controlled through local democracy in the network of relationships that supported it… criminal punishment was embedded in that network of relationships. Police officer sometimes lived in the neighborhood they patrolled, and had political ties to those neighborhoods through the ward bosses who represented their cities’ political machines. Those patrols happened on foot: officers, those whom they targeted, and those whom they served knew one another. Cops, crime victims, criminals, and the jurors who judged them-these were not wholly district communities; they overlapped, and the overlaps could be large.” (Stuntz, 2011, p. 31). I specifically chose this passage for two reasons. First, it addresses current issues that are relevant today; racial profiling, stereotyping, and the large incarcerated population of minorities. Second, it presents an upstream solution, which I will define and discuss further along in the reflection, to the large incarcerated population of minority that I personally quite agree with. “Crime victims in black neighborhoods have difficulty convincing local police to take their victimization seriously… Cab drivers are slow to pick up” African Americans, and “pedestrians… hold their possession more tightly when they approach young black males” (Stuntz, 2011, p.22). All these scenarios demonstrate what is formally known as stereotyping. It’s wrong, but.

Reflection as an Educational Strategy in Nursing Professional Development An Integrative Review Robbin Miraglia, MSN, RN ƒ Marilyn E. Asselin, PhD, RN-BC Reflection is a critical component of professional nursing practice and a strategy for learning through practice. This integrative review synthesizes the literature addressing the use of reflection as an educational strategy and reports outcomes from the use of reflective strategies. Reflection education is primarily nested in programs to meet specific clinical goals, structured with group facilitation. Findings suggest that reflective strategies stimulate learning in practice, enhance readiness to apply new knowledge, and promote practice change. INTRODUCTION In recent years, reflection has gained increased recognition as a critical component of professional nursing practice and as an educational strategy to acquire knowledge and learn through practice (Asselin & Fain, 2013; Kim, 1999; Perry, 2000). Although there is no agreed upon definition, reflection is generally understood as the deliberate process of critically thinking about a clinical experience, which leads to development of insights for potential practice change (Asselin & Fain, 2013). Scholars contend that reflection offers nurses the opportunity to build on existing knowledge through clinical experiences (Johns, 1995; Kuiper & Pesut, 2004; Perry, 2000), develop clinical judgment (Nielsen, Stragnell, & Jester, 2007; Tanner, 2006), promote strong communication skills, build collaborative practice, and improve patient care (Horton-Deutsch, 2012; Peden-McAlpine, Tomlinson, Forneris, Genck, & Meiers, 2005). Although it is generally assumed that nurses know how to reflect, findings from recent studies suggest that nurses’ reflective thinking may be prolonged by pauses and they may need assistance in systematically moving insights to practice change (Asselin & Fain, 2013; Asselin, Schwartz- Barcott, & Osterman, 2013). Consequently, continuing education on reflection and reflective practice is viewed as a vehicle to enhance professional practice, promote evidence- based practice, and potentially improve patient outcomes. As an educational strategy, reflection allows nurses to explore clinical experiences and the thoughts and feelings associated with the experience, allowing for a change in beliefs and assumptions, emergence of new knowledge, and a transformation of clinical practice (Asselin & Fain, 2013; Dube & Ducharme, 2014; Horton-Deutsch, 2012; Johns, 1995; Perry, 2000). Although numerous articles have been published exploring the concept of reflection and the use of reflection as an educational strategy, there has been no attempt to synthesize existing literature presenting the use of reflection as an educational strategy in nursing professional development (NPD). This article provides an integrative review of the literature addressing the use of reflection as an educational strategy for nurses. The rev.

Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review] Activity 3 Case Study 5.2: California’s High-Speed Rail Project A goal of the Obama administration has been to promote high-speed rail across the most populous and geographically-dispersed states in the United States. The idea is to adopt more energy-saving initiatives while also helping to improve state’s infrastructure. It is with this in mind that the Federal Government made billions available to various states in the 2008–2010 budget cycles. After the Fall, 2010 elections, several states that had elected Republican governors refused the grants, suspicious that this seed money would not be sufficient to pay for what they viewed as unnecessary construction based on over-optimistic expectations of the need for and use of high-speed rail. One of the states that accepted the money and has moved forward strongly into high-speed rail has been California, which has already begun work on a 65-mile section in the middle of the state, earning the derisive nickname, the “train to nowhere.” This case details the state’s projections regarding the need for high-speed rail, against the views of infrastructure experts and critics who charge that for a state that is already in a severe budget crisis, this is just the sort of project that makes no sense economically or demographically. Questions Assess the benefits and drawbacks of the high-speed rail project. In your opinion, do benefits outweigh drawbacks, or vice versa? Why? Justify your answer. What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now? Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative? In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project? Why are they important? Case Study 6.1: Columbus Instruments This case is based on a true story of a once-successful organization that had allowed its project management practices to degenerate to the point where assignment to a project team was often a mark of disfavor and a sign of pending termination.

How do you see yourself in relation to the information presented in your textbook about racism and prejudice? (remember that we all have some prejudices and that the purpose here is to help you explore within yourself so you can increase your own self-awareness) 2. What did you read in the microaggressions chart in Ch. 6 that resonated within you? This is likely to be among the things you read that you had the strongest reactions to. Be SPECIFIC in your responses. Describing generally what you didn't like or don't ascribe to is too general. 3. What are your thoughts and reactions to the reading "Confronting a Bias?" Use the information about oppression and microaggressions thatyou have read, and analyze the situation described in the reading. Confronting a Bias: Personal Example of Communicating an Observed Bias Initially upon reading the text about racism and prejudice, I was able to identify times when I was on the receiving end. A recent encounter at the Michael Kors store came to mind as it resonated within me for some time. Just for background purposes, when you enter the Michael Kors store you are greeted by the salesperson and they will let you know of any specials they have. On this particular day I entered right behind a daughter, her mother, and grandchild in a stroller, which were white. As soon as they got in the middle store area the sales person greeted them and told them about the sale they were having. I was within a couple feet of them and received no greeting or sales pitch. Often I believe that in order to be sure it is not just me that I need to observe. In my observation, there was an Asian female that entered the store and she also did not receive a greeting or sales pitch. At this point, I am feeling offended an aggravated and felt that this behavior needed to be pointed out. So I politely explained to the manager that because of my current class at school I am being more observant with regards to interactions and treatment. Furthermore, “I observed the discriminative behaviors of your worker and it should be addressed.” Initially the manager was contributing the busyness of the store to the worker being distracted. However I was able to show the manager that as another white female walked in the worker was always readily available but I still had not received a greeting. At this point, I was thinking of the Pretty Woman scene when she was able to come back and let the sales person know that their prejudgment of her had cost them big on commission and sales. Unfortunately, I was unable to spend big and the commission would not have resulted too much. I definite.
