Scholarly Reflection Paper
Up until recently, I knew that mindfulness had benefits, but I never knew their extent. I
also believed I didn’t have time for mindfulness, and that it wasn’t something I should make a
part of my daily routine. This class has taught me that in fact is not true. Mindfulness has so
many positive benefits, and many reasons why mindfulness is a great addition to daily routines.
Mindfulness has been suggested to improve mental health and well-being, resiliency, as well as
cognition, executive control, and attention, which is highlighted in a study by Yakobi et al.
(2020). It can also help cultivate feelings of happiness and joy and lead to its pursuit, as well as
reduce stress. An 8-week mindfulness-based study was done by Hjeltnes et al. (2015) which
evaluated university students, and one of the findings was that during the practice period students
reported they were able to find inner calmness when dealing with stress and anxiety. While I was
doing the practices, I noticed this feeling as well. Although I was stressed, I was able to calm
myself and relax more than I had previously been able to. Also, when I first started doing the
practices in this class or mindfulness practices in the past, I believed that my brain always had to
be completely blank and I should not be focusing on anything else, and I would get frustrated if I
started having other thoughts. However, I have since learned that mindfulness is
“moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness...paying attention in a specific way...as
non-reactively, as non-judgmentally, and as open-heartedly as possible” (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 2015).
I learned it was okay to have other thoughts, and just let them be and realize what I was thinking
and feeling instead of trying to control them.
Throughout this paper, I will include a reflection on my experience, specifically my
initial goals for the practices, as well as highlighting what I found went well for me and what did
not, also my overall motivation and dedication to the practices, and a goal for the future.

Reflection on my goals
The first goal I set was: to do the mindfulness activities alone in my room, in a
comfortable position, with my headphones, every day in the evening around 9:00 pm before I go
to bed. I succeeded at completing the mindfulness practices every day, with my headphones, in a
comfortable position, however, the time when I would do them would change. Some days I
would do it earlier in the evening, or later in the night, and once I tried doing it in the morning.
The second goal I set was: to complete the practice logs by setting aside a few minutes of
my time every day right after doing the activities to ensure I truly remembered how I was
feeling. I was able t ...

Time Management WorksheetIn this worksheet, you will examine hTakishaPeck109
Time Management Worksheet
In this worksheet, you will examine how you currently use your time so that you can identify ways to make time for your studies. You will complete this worksheet in three steps.
In Step 1, you will determine how you currently use your time by recording this information for a typical week. In Step 2, you will consider ways you might reserve time on given days of the week for your studies. In Step 3, you will develop a plan to ensure your academic studies are a priority.
As you complete this worksheet, be realistic in your self-assessment and in your plan. The more accurate this document is, the more helpful it will be for you to schedule your time and prepare for success in your personal, professional, and academic life.
Step 1: Map Your Time
Complete the following time map by accounting for each hour of your day. You can place more than one item in a time slot (e.g., in the morning you may still be sleeping, get ready, and eat breakfast within 1 hour). The chart is broken into 1/2-hour increments for typically busier times of the day, but if you feel the need to break up the chart further or make any other adjustments to the chart, simply add rows and adjust the time frames.
If you find a time slot is open, do not feel the need to fill it; the next step will be identifying times that you can devote to your studies, so an open time slot is ideal. You may even want to highlight these empty cells so that they are easier to identify for Step 2.
Consider the following items as you complete the table, as well as anything else to which you regularly devote your time.
· Sleeping
· Making meals/eating
· Getting ready/commuting
· Exercising
· Working
· Socializing
· Spending time with family
· Weekly commitments (e.g., religious services, volunteering)
· Running errands/shopping
· Working on your home or car/cleaning/lawncare/etc.
· Spending time on your hobbies
· Entertainment/watching television

7 Secrets to Work life Balance For Educators Module OnePatti Glasgow
Learn the 7 secrets to work/life balance for Educators. Easy to implements tips and tools so that you can create your version of work/life balance that works for you.
This document discusses time management techniques for students, including making to-do lists, prioritizing tasks, breaking large projects into smaller segments, and planning study time. It recommends studying in 1-2 hour blocks with breaks in between, using a weekly planner to schedule assignments and activities, and using the Eisenhower matrix to prioritize urgent vs important tasks. Managing one's energy through regular breaks every 90 minutes and getting sufficient sleep is important for maximizing productivity.
The document outlines a 6 step plan to repair mental health:
1) Acknowledge events that led to distress and identify obstacles.
2) Rely on inner strength rather than just medication. Explore potential helpful options.
3) Maintain a consistent daily routine with sufficient sleep, nutrition, and stress management.
4) Establish consistent daily schedules and use time productively with social activities.
5) Improve sleep by reducing screen time before bed and maintaining a comfortable bedroom.
6) Prioritize basic daily routines and quality time with supportive family/friends.
1. IntroversionScore 11 pts.4 - 22 pts.Feedback Some peopMartineMccracken314
1. Introversion
Score : 11 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Some people thrive in teleworking arrangements, whereas others discover that it is neither a satisfying nor productive work environment for them. This scale assesses three personal dispositions that are identified in the literature as characteristics of effective teleworkers: (a) high company alignment, (b) low social needs at work and (c) independent initiative.
Company alignment
Company alignment estimates the extent to which you follow company procedures and have values congruent with company values. The greater the alignment, the more likely that you can abide by company practices while working alone and with direct supervision. While some deviation from company practices may be appropriate, teleworkers need to agree with company values and provide work that is consistent with company expectations most of the time. Scores on this scale range from 4 to 20.
Extroversion
Score: 17 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Low individualism
Individualism refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self-sufficiency, control over their own lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others.
However, keep in mind that the average level of individualism is higher in some cultures (such as Australia) than in others.
2. Total score: 8 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
6-12 pts.
Feedback: Low work centrality
People with high work centrality define themselves mainly by their work roles and view non-work roles as much less significant. Consequently, people with a high work centrality score likely have lower complexity in their self-concept. This can be a concern because if something goes wrong with their work role, their non-work roles are not of sufficient value to maintain a positive self-evaluation. At the same time, work dominates our work lives, so those with very low scores would be more of the exception than the rule in most societies. Scores range from 6 to 36 with higher scores indicating higher work centrality. The norms in the following table are based on a large sample of Canadian employees (average score was 20.7). However, work centrality norms vary from one group to the next. For example, the average score in a sample of Canadian nurses was around 17 (translated to the scale range used here).
3. Total score: 32 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
28-32 pts.
Feedback: High need for social approval
The need for social approval scale estimates the extent to which you are motivated to seek favourable evaluation from others. Founded on the drive to bond, the need for social approval is a secondary need, because people vary in this need based on their self-concept, values, personality and possibly social norms. This scale ranges from 0 to 32. How high or low is your need for social approval? The ideal would be to compare your score with the collective results of other students in your class. Otherwi ...

1. Describe the actions you will take to increase your net cash flows in the near future.
The first step is to reduce living expenditures. It is critical to lessen the amount spent on living expenses and other variables and save for future use. I will have to prevent luxuries such as vacation costs or keep them in check to avoid spending a hefty amount on them. I should check the option to cook for myself and avoid buying food. Also, I will choose a destination I can drive myself to save on rental car expenditures and airfare. I will have a detailed budget indicating the amount required for savings, debt repayment, and investment that will assist only to spend the money on essential expenditures. Further, the savings can help to start a business and become self-employed in the distant future.
I would have to look for a job that pays well or engage in a robust salary negotiation. The right time to negotiate for salary is during a performance review, compensation meeting, or job promotion (Bellon, Cookson, Gilje, & Heimer, 2020). I will ensure that I expand my education and technic ...

Integrity of any organization regardless whether it is in healthcare or business or government is paramount. Because of integrity comes trust. Having trust in a healthcare organization is nonnegotiable. It is the foundation of a world-class organization. Executives who ignore ethics run the risk of personal and corporate liability in today’s increasingly tough legal environment (Lynn S. Paine, 1994, Managing for Organizational Integrity, pp. 2-21)
First, the healthcare organization. The healthcare organization is the head or the governing body. It is charged of day-to-day functions, establish policies, guidance, business process, safety, security and all the administrative duties. Integrity is and must be the cornerstone of any healthcare organization. Without it, no clinicians or workers that would knowingly work for an organization that they cannot trust or feel safe. And most importantly, if the patients do not have trust in the organization, they will avoid that facility at all cost.
Second, the clinicians. The clinicians are what makes the organization or facility function. Whether they are the providers, nurses or staff it is important that they have the integrity to always do what is right not only for the healthcare team or the organization, but most specially for the patient. It starts with the clinical leaders building trust to their subordinate staff by having the integrity and values of what a leader should be. Once that is established, then it permeates throughout the entire team. Thereby improving the healthcare delivery.
Lastly, and the most important is the patient. At the center of the entire system needs to be the patient. Once the patient recognizes the integrity or values of the healthcare organization and the clinicians delivering healthcare, patient trust is established. The patient satisfaction also increases. According to Cowing, Davino-Ramaya, Ramaya, Szmerekovsky, 2009, pp.72, “if patients are satisfied with clinician-patient interactions, they are likely to be more compliant with their treatment plan, to understand their role in the recovery process, and to follow through with the recommended treatment”. Having integrity or values in the healthcare delivery is the basic principle of healthcare leadership.

Case Study in-class Presentations Assignment
1): Moral Courage with a Dying Patient
Mr. T. is an 82-year-old widower who has been a patient on your unit several times over the past 5 years. His CHF, COPD, and diabetes have taken a toll on his body. He now needs oxygen 24 hours a day and still has dyspnea and tachycardia at rest. On admission, his ejection fraction is less than 20%, EKG shows a QRS interval of greater than 0.13 seconds, and his functional class is IV on NYHA assessment.
He has remained symptomatic despite maximum medical management with a vasodilator and diuretics. He tells you, "This is my last trip; I am glad I have made peace with my family and God. Nurse, I am ready to die." You ask about an advance directive and he tells you his son knows that he wants no heroics, but they just have never gotten around to filling out the form. When the son arrives, you suggest that he speak with the social worker to complete the advance directive and he agrees reluctantly. You page the physician to discuss DNR status with the son. Unfortunately, Mr. T. experiences cardiac arrest before the discussion occurs and you watch helplessly as members of the Code Blue Team perform resuscitation. Mr. T. is now on a ventilator and the son has dissolved into tears with cries of, "Do not let him die!"
2): Moral Courage to Confront Bullying
Melissa started on the unit as a new graduate 5 weeks ago. She is still in orientation and has a good relationship with her preceptor. The preceptor has been assigned consistently to Melissa for most of the last 4 weeks, but due to family emergency has not been available in the last week. Melissa has been told that she will be precepted by a different nurse for the remainder of her orientation. The new preceptor has not been welcoming, supportive, or focused on the educational goals of the orientation. In fact, this new preceptor has voiced to all who will listen her feelings about the incompetence of new BSN graduates. The crisis occurs when Melissa fails to recognize a patient's confusion as a result of an adverse medication effect. The preceptor berates Melissa in the nurses' station, makes sarcastic comments in shift report abou ...

Time Management Worksheet
In this worksheet, you will examine how you currently use your time so that you can identify ways to make time for your studies. You will complete this worksheet in three steps.
In Step 1, you will determine how you currently use your time by recording this information for a typical week. In Step 2, you will consider ways you might reserve time on given days of the week for your studies. In Step 3, you will develop a plan to ensure your academic studies are a priority.
As you complete this worksheet, be realistic in your self-assessment and in your plan. The more accurate this document is, the more helpful it will be for you to schedule your time and prepare for success in your personal, professional, and academic life.
Step 1: Map Your Time
Complete the following time map by accounting for each hour of your day. You can place more than one item in a time slot (e.g., in the morning you may still be sleeping, get ready, and eat breakfast within 1 hour). The chart is broken into 1/2-hour increments for typically busier times of the day, but if you feel the need to break up the chart further or make any other adjustments to the chart, simply add rows and adjust the time frames.
If you find a time slot is open, do not feel the need to fill it; the next step will be identifying times that you can devote to your studies, so an open time slot is ideal. You may even want to highlight these empty cells so that they are easier to identify for Step 2.
Consider the following items as you complete the table, as well as anything else to which you regularly devote your time.
· Sleeping
· Making meals/eating
· Getting ready/commuting
· Exercising
· Working
· Socializing
· Spending time with family
· Weekly commitments (e.g., religious services, volunteering)
· Running errands/shopping
· Working on your home or car/cleaning/lawncare/etc.
· Spending time on your hobbies
· Entertainment/watching television

7 Secrets to Work life Balance For Educators Module OnePatti Glasgow
Learn the 7 secrets to work/life balance for Educators. Easy to implements tips and tools so that you can create your version of work/life balance that works for you.
This document discusses time management techniques for students, including making to-do lists, prioritizing tasks, breaking large projects into smaller segments, and planning study time. It recommends studying in 1-2 hour blocks with breaks in between, using a weekly planner to schedule assignments and activities, and using the Eisenhower matrix to prioritize urgent vs important tasks. Managing one's energy through regular breaks every 90 minutes and getting sufficient sleep is important for maximizing productivity.
The document outlines a 6 step plan to repair mental health:
1) Acknowledge events that led to distress and identify obstacles.
2) Rely on inner strength rather than just medication. Explore potential helpful options.
3) Maintain a consistent daily routine with sufficient sleep, nutrition, and stress management.
4) Establish consistent daily schedules and use time productively with social activities.
5) Improve sleep by reducing screen time before bed and maintaining a comfortable bedroom.
6) Prioritize basic daily routines and quality time with supportive family/friends.

Feedback: Some people thrive in teleworking arrangements, whereas others discover that it is neither a satisfying nor productive work environment for them. This scale assesses three personal dispositions that are identified in the literature as characteristics of effective teleworkers: (a) high company alignment, (b) low social needs at work and (c) independent initiative.
Company alignment
Company alignment estimates the extent to which you follow company procedures and have values congruent with company values. The greater the alignment, the more likely that you can abide by company practices while working alone and with direct supervision. While some deviation from company practices may be appropriate, teleworkers need to agree with company values and provide work that is consistent with company expectations most of the time. Scores on this scale range from 4 to 20.
Extroversion
Score: 17 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Low individualism
Individualism refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self-sufficiency, control over their own lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others.
However, keep in mind that the average level of individualism is higher in some cultures (such as Australia) than in others.
2. Total score: 8 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
6-12 pts.
Feedback: Low work centrality
People with high work centrality define themselves mainly by their work roles and view non-work roles as much less significant. Consequently, people with a high work centrality score likely have lower complexity in their self-concept. This can be a concern because if something goes wrong with their work role, their non-work roles are not of sufficient value to maintain a positive self-evaluation. At the same time, work dominates our work lives, so those with very low scores would be more of the exception than the rule in most societies. Scores range from 6 to 36 with higher scores indicating higher work centrality. The norms in the following table are based on a large sample of Canadian employees (average score was 20.7). However, work centrality norms vary from one group to the next. For example, the average score in a sample of Canadian nurses was around 17 (translated to the scale range used here).
3. Total score: 32 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
28-32 pts.
Feedback: High need for social approval
The need for social approval scale estimates the extent to which you are motivated to seek favourable evaluation from others. Founded on the drive to bond, the need for social approval is a secondary need, because people vary in this need based on their self-concept, values, personality and possibly social norms. This scale ranges from 0 to 32. How high or low is your need for social approval? The ideal would be to compare your score with the collective results of other students in your class. Otherwi ...

1. Describe the actions you will take to increase your net cash flows in the near future.
The first step is to reduce living expenditures. It is critical to lessen the amount spent on living expenses and other variables and save for future use. I will have to prevent luxuries such as vacation costs or keep them in check to avoid spending a hefty amount on them. I should check the option to cook for myself and avoid buying food. Also, I will choose a destination I can drive myself to save on rental car expenditures and airfare. I will have a detailed budget indicating the amount required for savings, debt repayment, and investment that will assist only to spend the money on essential expenditures. Further, the savings can help to start a business and become self-employed in the distant future.
I would have to look for a job that pays well or engage in a robust salary negotiation. The right time to negotiate for salary is during a performance review, compensation meeting, or job promotion (Bellon, Cookson, Gilje, & Heimer, 2020). I will ensure that I expand my education and technic ...

Integrity of any organization regardless whether it is in healthcare or business or government is paramount. Because of integrity comes trust. Having trust in a healthcare organization is nonnegotiable. It is the foundation of a world-class organization. Executives who ignore ethics run the risk of personal and corporate liability in today’s increasingly tough legal environment (Lynn S. Paine, 1994, Managing for Organizational Integrity, pp. 2-21)
First, the healthcare organization. The healthcare organization is the head or the governing body. It is charged of day-to-day functions, establish policies, guidance, business process, safety, security and all the administrative duties. Integrity is and must be the cornerstone of any healthcare organization. Without it, no clinicians or workers that would knowingly work for an organization that they cannot trust or feel safe. And most importantly, if the patients do not have trust in the organization, they will avoid that facility at all cost.
Second, the clinicians. The clinicians are what makes the organization or facility function. Whether they are the providers, nurses or staff it is important that they have the integrity to always do what is right not only for the healthcare team or the organization, but most specially for the patient. It starts with the clinical leaders building trust to their subordinate staff by having the integrity and values of what a leader should be. Once that is established, then it permeates throughout the entire team. Thereby improving the healthcare delivery.
Lastly, and the most important is the patient. At the center of the entire system needs to be the patient. Once the patient recognizes the integrity or values of the healthcare organization and the clinicians delivering healthcare, patient trust is established. The patient satisfaction also increases. According to Cowing, Davino-Ramaya, Ramaya, Szmerekovsky, 2009, pp.72, “if patients are satisfied with clinician-patient interactions, they are likely to be more compliant with their treatment plan, to understand their role in the recovery process, and to follow through with the recommended treatment”. Having integrity or values in the healthcare delivery is the basic principle of healthcare leadership.

Case Study in-class Presentations Assignment
1): Moral Courage with a Dying Patient
Mr. T. is an 82-year-old widower who has been a patient on your unit several times over the past 5 years. His CHF, COPD, and diabetes have taken a toll on his body. He now needs oxygen 24 hours a day and still has dyspnea and tachycardia at rest. On admission, his ejection fraction is less than 20%, EKG shows a QRS interval of greater than 0.13 seconds, and his functional class is IV on NYHA assessment.
He has remained symptomatic despite maximum medical management with a vasodilator and diuretics. He tells you, "This is my last trip; I am glad I have made peace with my family and God. Nurse, I am ready to die." You ask about an advance directive and he tells you his son knows that he wants no heroics, but they just have never gotten around to filling out the form. When the son arrives, you suggest that he speak with the social worker to complete the advance directive and he agrees reluctantly. You page the physician to discuss DNR status with the son. Unfortunately, Mr. T. experiences cardiac arrest before the discussion occurs and you watch helplessly as members of the Code Blue Team perform resuscitation. Mr. T. is now on a ventilator and the son has dissolved into tears with cries of, "Do not let him die!"
2): Moral Courage to Confront Bullying
Melissa started on the unit as a new graduate 5 weeks ago. She is still in orientation and has a good relationship with her preceptor. The preceptor has been assigned consistently to Melissa for most of the last 4 weeks, but due to family emergency has not been available in the last week. Melissa has been told that she will be precepted by a different nurse for the remainder of her orientation. The new preceptor has not been welcoming, supportive, or focused on the educational goals of the orientation. In fact, this new preceptor has voiced to all who will listen her feelings about the incompetence of new BSN graduates. The crisis occurs when Melissa fails to recognize a patient's confusion as a result of an adverse medication effect. The preceptor berates Melissa in the nurses' station, makes sarcastic comments in shift report abou ...

1. I believe that the protagonist is Nel because she is the one thMartineMccracken314
1. I believe that the protagonist is Nel because she is the one that goes through different changes throughout the book. I also think she is the protagonist because most people can relate to her more. Nel was done wrong by Sula and her husband Jude Green. Sula did the one thing that a best friend should never do and, that is sleep with your best friend's husband. Even though Sula did a terrible thing Nel still cares about her best friend because she goes and visits her when she is sick even after all the pain she caused her. Nel is also deeply saddened when she visits Sulas grave. That is not the only thing that happened to Nel. Nel not only had to deal with the affair but also accepted her guilt in Chicken Little's drowning. But in the end, Nel realized she enjoyed watching him drown.
Everything changed when Sula came back to Nels life. Nel was happy before. She was happy with her family and her husband, but when Sula came back that all changed. After the affair and Sulas death, Nel was alone. Nel became a single mother and, she no longer has a good relationship with another man.
2. I believe that although the title of the story is Sula, the main protaginist of the story is Nel. Nel is kept until the end of the story and Sulay passes away and exit's the story. I think in this pivitol moment is when the author wanted to make Nel the main character. Nel contained her emotion until towards the end of the story when she has a conversation with Eva, Nel nervously comments "Who told you all these lies? Miss Peace? Who told you? Why are you telling lies on me?" I believe the author wanted us to feel the anxiousness and wonder that Nel found out that somebody finally knew about the little boy being thrown. I believe this admission of guilt to Eva brings closure to Nel. Nel was trying to hide her emotions the entire time and it wasn't after being confronted that she broke down about it and visited Sulay's grave. Nel even stated "I don't know. No." when asked whether somebody saw the boy being thrown into the river. This shows that Nel was not sure at all in the moment it happened whether somebody knew. Nel wanted to not think about what happen forever and try to mute the situation but Eva bringing it up, made Nel feel terrible about what happened which is why she ended up visting Sulay's grave. I think muting herself from knowing the little boy was thrown was still not a 'good' way to look at it, from her end. She wanted to believe a lie by just pretending it never happened. It wasn't after someone brought up the situation to her that her feelings change.
3. Although the novel is titled Sula, the real protagonist is Nel because she is the one who is transformed by the end. Sula and Nel were very great friends and were very dedicated to each other. But they were also very different. Nel was known as the more mature and "good person" while Sula is more impulsive. "Nel is the product of a family that believes deeply in social conventions, hers is a st ...

1. Team teaching
In team teaching, both teachers are in the room at the same time but take turns teaching the whole class. Team teaching is sometimes called “tag team teaching.” You and your co-teacher teacher are a bit like co-presenters at a conference or the Oscars. You don’t necessarily plan who takes which part of the lesson, and when one of you makes a point, the other can jump in and elaborate if needed.
Team teaching can make you feel vulnerable. It asks you to step outside of your comfort zone and allow another teacher to see how you approach a classroom full of students. However, it also gives you the opportunity to learn about and improve your teaching skills by having a partner who can provide feedback and — in some cases — mentorship.
In team teaching, as well as the five other co-teaching models below, a teacher team may be made up of two general education teachers, two special education teachers, or one of each. Or, in some cases, it may be a teacher and a paraprofessional working together. Some IEPs specify that a student’s teaching team needs to include a general education teacher and a special education teacher.
Here’s what you need to know about the team teaching method:
What it looks like in the classroom
Both teachers teach at the front of the room and move about to check in with students (as needed).
Benefits
· Provides both teachers with an active instructional role
· Introduces students to complementary teaching styles and personalities
· Allows for lessons to be presented by two different people with different teaching styles
· Models multiple ways of presenting and engaging with information
· Models for students what a successful collaborative working relationship can look like
· Provides more opportunities to pursue teachable moments that may arise
Challenges
· Takes time and trust for teachers to build a working relationship that values each teacher equally in the classroom

That sure sounds good to you, as you have many elderly patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes and many are already on aspirin. The brochure quotes the CAPRIE study, and you decide to investigate this further. A review of the 1996 article reveals that study patients on Plavix® experienced cardiovascular events 9.78% of the time compared to 10.64% of the time with aspirin.

1. Find something to negotiate in your personal or professional liMartineMccracken314
1. Find something to negotiate in your personal or professional life. Examples include: redistribution of household chores, a personal or professional purchase, a contract at work, asking for a raise, booking a vacation, hiring a contractor, etc. The deal does not have to be implemented for the purposes of this class (e.g. you can finalize the price for something you’re thinking of buying without following through on the purchase right now). The scenario you choose should be significant enough to allow you to do substantial research and detail for your paper. Submit a five page paper (minimum), double spaces, utilizing proper grammar and spelling, which summarizes the following:
1. Your Preparation – Describe the process you used and results of your preparation. You should also discuss your strategies, targets, and negotiating plan. Make sure you do your research, working on both your BATNA and the other party’s. (Consider newspapers, bookstores, libraries, the internet, and personal calls and visits as possible sources of information). This is the most important step, so being thorough is critical.
1. The Negotiating Process – Describe what happened in the negotiation itself. List he sequence of events and how you reacted/adjusted to the other party’s position. What was the negotiation style of the other party? What “tricks” did they try? How did you react? Were there any other influencing factors (e.g. cultural differences, misperceptions, emotion, etc.)?
1. The Outcome – What was the outcome and how did you feel about it? What worked well? What would you have done differently? Do you feel the result you arrived at was better than it would have been if you hadn’t taken the class? Why/Why not?
Your understanding of the appropriate preparation and process steps to take in negotiating this deal is more important than the final outcome.
Be sure to cite your sources, and include copies of necessary quotes/documentation.

1. FAMILYMy 57 year old mother died after a short illness MartineMccracken314
1. FAMILY
My 57 year old mother died after a short illness last June. She was a wonderful mother and my 66 year old father
adored her. They had been married for 38 years. He is finding it extremely difficult to cope without her. To make
matters worse, he retired just two months before she died and is at a loss to fill his days.
He is disorganized and has not established any pattern in his life. I invite him for meals and outings, but he is
detached and depressed. He doesn’t seem to be part of the world any more. I am terribly worried about him. How
long will he be like this? I am 34 and have small children. I thought being with the children would help him, but it’s
as though he doesn’t see or know them. He just sits and stares into space for much of the day. He seems locked
into his grief.
2. FAMILY
One of our 17 year old son’s best friends took his life several months ago. Our son didn’t say much at the time, but
he was very shaken. Since then he has gradually “retired” into himself. He stays in his room most of the time
listening to rock music.
He is unemployed and no longer sees his former schoolmates. We are very worried about him. How do we get him
out of himself? He has always been a quiet guy but his present behavior is beyond “quiet.” We have two other
children, girls aged 13 and 10, but our son now just ignores them.
3. FAMILY - rural
Ken is a 67 year old farmer who lives with his wife Margaret. Ken and Margaret had hoped to retire late in their 60s
and move to the west coast to be closer to their children, reluctantly selling the family property that has been
struggling financially. They have limited investment funds set aside to support their retirement and have been told
it is unlikely that they would be successful in selling their farm. Ken also suffers chronic back pain from a previous
farm injury. A neighbor has become concerned about Ken’s ability to cope with his property, and has visited Ken
and Margaret a number of times due to problems with his stock and pasture management. Margaret believes the
farm is “too much for them now,” but feels she can’t talk to Ken about this. Ken has become withdrawn and
refuses to discuss the issue. He talks about there being “no way out of this,” and that it “might as well be over.” He
sees his physician infrequently, having difficulty traveling the 60 miles to the nearby town.

farm, and they are struggling to manage financially.

Case 20 Restructuring
General Electric
The appointment of Larry Culp as the chairman and CEO of the General Electric
Company (GE) on October 1st, 2018 was a clear indication of the seriousness of the
problems that had engulfed the company. Culp, the former CEO of the highly-successful
conglomerate, Danaher Corporation, had been appointed a GE director only six months
previously and was the first outsider to lead GE—every one of GE’s previous CEOs had
been a career manager at the company. On the same day as Culp’s appointment, GE
abandoned its earning guidance for the year and announced a $23 billion accounting
charge arising from a write-down of goodwill at its troubled electrical power division.1
Culp’s predecessor, John Flannery had been CEO for a mere 14 months—a sharp
contrast to GE’s two previous CEOs: Jeff Immelt (16 years) and Jack Welch (20 years).
Flannery’s tenure at GE has coincided with of the company’s most difficult periods in its
entire 126-year history. In November 2017, amidst deteriorating financial performance,
Flannery announced a halving of GE’s quarterly dividend, the proposed sale of its
lighting and locomotive units—two of GE’s oldest businesses—and the elimination of
12,000 jobs in the power division.
In 2018, the situation worsened. In January, GE announced that it would be paying
$15 bn. to cover liabilities at insurance companies it had sold 12 years previously. In
February, GE confirmed suspicions over its dubious accounting practices by restating its
revenues and earnings for the previous two years, while also announcing the likelihood
of legal claims arising from its its subprime mortgage lending over a decade earlier.
The outcome was a precipitous fall in GE’s share price (see Figure 1) that culminated
in GE’s dismissal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Until June 2018, GE
was the sole surviving member of the DJIA when it was created in 1896.
The crisis at GE presented the board with two central questions. First, should GE
be broken up? Second, if GE was to continue as a widely-diversified company, how
should it be managed?
As a diversified corporation that extended from jet engines, to oil and gas equipment,
to healthcare products, to financial services, GE was an anomaly. For three decades, con-
glomerates—diversified companies comprising unrelated or loosely related businesses—
had been deeply unfashionable. CEOs, Jack Welch and Jeff Immelt, had claimed that,
by virtue of its integrated m ...

Body Ritual among the Nacirema
H O R A C E M I N E R
University of Michigan
HE anthropologist has become so familiar with the diversity of ways iq T which different peoples behave in similar situations that he is not a p t to.
be surprised by even the most exotic customs. I n fact, if all of thelogically
possible combinations of behavior have not been found somewhere in the
world, he is a p t to suspect that they must be present in some yet undescribed
tribe. This point has, in fact, been expressed with respect to clan organization
by Murdock (1949: 7 1 ) . I n this light, the magical beliefs and practices of the
Nacirema present such unusual aspects that i t seems desirable t o describe
them a s an example of the extremes to which human behavior can go.
Professor Linton first brought the ritual of the Nacirema to the attention
of anthropologists twenty years ago (1936:326), but the culture of this people
is still very poorly understood. They are a North American group living in the
territory between the Canadian Cree, the Yaqui and Tarahumare of Mexico,
and the Carib and Arawak of the Antilles. Little is known of their origin, al-
though tradition states that they came from the east. According to Nacirema
mythology, their nation was originated by a culture hero, Notgnihsaw, who is
otherwise known for two great feats of strength-the throwing of a piece of
wampum across the river Pa-To-Mac and the chopping down of a cherry tree
in which the Spirit of Truth resided.
Nacirema culture is characterized by a highly developed market economy
which has evolved in a rich natural habitat. While much of the people’s time
is devoted to economic pursuits, a large part of the fruits of these labors and a
considerable portion of the day are spent in ritual activity. The focus of this
activity is the human body, the appearance and health of which loom a s a
dominant concern in the ethos of the people. While such a concern is certainly
not unusual, its ceremonial aspects and associated philosophy are unique.
The fundamental belief underlying the whole system appears to be that the
human body is ugly and that its natural tendency is t o debility and disease.
Incarcerated in such a body, man’s only hope is to avert these characteristics
through the use of the powerful influences of ritual and ceremony. Every house-
hold has one or more shrines devoted to this purpose. The more powerful in-
dividuals in the society have several shrines in their houses and, in fact, the
opulence of a house is often referred to in terms of the num ...

Week Two Instructor’s Notes
PHIL 1103 Summer
This week you will be learning in detail about the four different moral perspectives that
we will use to analyze moral questions.
Notice two things right at the start. First, because normative ethics is our main focus this
term, we are not going to attempt to settle the question of whether any moral perspective at all
could be correct or known to be correct—that is a task for metaethics. Our task in this second
week is to learn in some detail about four different kinds of consideration or value that often
seem relevant when we try to decide what is morally right or wrong in particular cases, namely:
(1) Respect for the rights and autonomy of the persons involved
(2) Increasing the overall well-being of the most individuals possible
(3) Asking wha ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

Scholarly Reflection Paper
Up until recently, I knew that mindfulness had benefits, but I
never knew their extent. I
also believed I didn’t have time for mindfulness, and that it
wasn’t something I should make a
2. part of my daily routine. This class has taught me that in fact is
not true. Mindfulness has so
many positive benefits, and many reasons why mindfulness is a
great addition to daily routines.
Mindfulness has been suggested to improve mental health and
well-being, resiliency, as well as
cognition, executive control, and attention, which is highlighted
in a study by Yakobi et al.
(2020). It can also help cultivate feelings of happiness and joy
and lead to its pursuit, as well as
reduce stress. An 8-week mindfulness-based study was done by
Hjeltnes et al. (2015) which
evaluated university students, and one of the findings was that
during the practice period students
reported they were able to find inner calmness when dealing
with stress and anxiety. While I was
doing the practices, I noticed this feeling as well. Although I
was stressed, I was able to calm
myself and relax more than I had previously been able to. Also,
when I first started doing the
practices in this class or mindfulness practices in the past, I
believed that my brain always had to
be completely blank and I should not be focusing on anything
else, and I would get frustrated if I
3. started having other thoughts. However, I have since learned
that mindfulness is
“moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness...paying
attention in a specific way...as
non-reactively, as non-judgmentally, and as open-heartedly as
possible” (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 2015).
I learned it was okay to have other thoughts, and just let them
be and realize what I was thinking
and feeling instead of trying to control them.
Throughout this paper, I will include a reflection on my
experience, specifically my
initial goals for the practices, as well as highlighting what I
found went well for me and what did
not, also my overall motivation and dedication to the practices,
and a goal for the future.
3
Reflection on my goals
The first goal I set was: to do the mindfulness activities alone in
my room, in a
comfortable position, with my headphones, every day in the
4. evening around 9:00 pm before I go
to bed. I succeeded at completing the mindfulness practices
every day, with my headphones, in a
comfortable position, however, the time when I would do them
would change. Some days I
would do it earlier in the evening, or later in the night, and once
I tried doing it in the morning.
The second goal I set was: to complete the practice logs by
setting aside a few minutes of
my time every day right after doing the activities to ensure I
truly remembered how I was
feeling. I was able to complete the logs and accurately
document how I was feeling, although
some days I wouldn’t do them until later or even the next day,
so I was not successful with that
aspect of my goal.
The third goal I set was: to do the required readings every
Sunday afternoon, and ensure
my full focus is on them before the next week of learning for
the next eight weeks to be
successful and stay on top of the workload. I managed to stay
on top of the readings and the
workload so I was successful in that area, however, I did not do
the readings all in one Sunday
5. for each week. Instead, I spread them out across the week and
found a time when I was able to
instead of trying to cram them all into one Sunday plus my
other classes.
What went well, what didn't, what I might change
I found that what went well for me was being consistent with
the practices, and learning
to be more open-minded towards different types of practice.
What I found didn’t go so well was
remembering to log everything. Something I might change in
the future would be to try and do
mindfulness practices in the morning instead of the evening
since I found some evenings I would
forget and end up staying up late, or I was really tired. I also
want to try more different types of
4
practice. Hjeltnes et al. (2015) propose that formal mindfulness
practices (e.g. body scans or
pause practices) should be combined with informal mindfulness
practices (e.g. mindful walking,
6. cleaning, eating) in order to get the most out of mindfulness and
better incorporate mindfulness
into the daily routine. I plan to integrate more informal
mindfulness practices into my day, in
hopes of mindfulness becoming more of a normality since it
still feels like a separate part of my
day rather than happening naturally.
Motivation and dedication
Overall, my motivation and dedication to practice were well. I
struggled at the beginning
with dedication, some days I forgot to do the practices.
However, once I set reminders on my
phone and whiteboard and settled into a routine, the practices
came naturally and became a part
of my daily schedule. Some days when I was super busy though,
I found it difficult to find time,
but I would manage to always squeeze in a practice somewhere,
even if that meant opting for a
5-minute pause practice versus a 15-minute body scan. I noticed
at some points I lacked
motivation, such as in the beginning, during midterms, and
during reading week, but I would
remind myself of the benefits that mindfulness would bring me,
7. like stress reduction, calmness,
and pursuing/being happier, and that would bring me back on
track.
Future goal
A long term goal for my future joy and happiness includes
continuing with mindfulness
practices, whether formal or informal, such as getting an app for
formal practices as well as just
doing activities that make me happy and reduce my stress for
the next semester, and throughout
the rest of my years in university.

Question 1
Provide an example about how people specializing in their areas
of comparative advantage benefits you in your day-to-day life.
Classmate 1
In the automotive industry, they have an assembly line. Each
person or machine is specialized in making one piece of a car.
This makes the process of making a car quicker and easier to
mass-produce. This helps our day-to-day life because it makes
cars less expensive to buy because one person didn't have to
make a car all by themselves.
Classmate 2
A construction crew felt like a good example to me. If you are
9. having a house built, the person that is responsible for putting
the walls up is most likely not the same person who is putting
the roof on. Making sure that your construction crew has
someone who specializes in each area of a house build wi ll
make the process go faster and cause better profits for the
company.
Question2
Generally speaking, marginal utility decreases as the number of
units consumed increases. Can you think of a product where this
decline in marginal utility is particularly sharp? Why is this?
Classmate 1
Two products that have a sharp decline in marginal utility are
stoves and microwaves. This is because usually, families only
have one stove and one microwave in their homes. Having more
than one of either seems a bit too much. Mainly being because
they would only really use one stove and in the current time
sometimes getting food to go or delivered is more convenient,
so they might not use a stove as much. As for a microwave,
there would not really be a need for two unless they rather not
wait in between items to reheat. Though of course there might
be some places that can need more than one stove or microwave.
Classmate 2
I think of tvs as having a very sharp decline in marginal utility.
Many people put tvs in their homes for look and shows because
it can make the room pop and stand out. Having one or two tvs
is reasonable because tvs can be very expensive based on the
one you get, but having more than 3 or so can be very excessive
and costly since tv services are going up to based on how many
tvs a person has in the household.
Question 3
The textbook describes how, over some range of output,
economies of scale exist in the production of cars. Provide
10. another example of an industry that experiences economies of
scale? What factors lead to these economies of scale?
Classmate1
An example of an industry that experiences economies of scales
is supermarkets. For instance, think of Walmart. Walmart, as do
other big supermarkets, has a big purchasing power, meaning
that they can buy a large quantity of things at one time, or in
other words, they can buy things in bulk. And buying things in
bulk means that things can be purchased at a lower price. In
addition, because they are able to buy things in bulk, they are
also able to get delivery fees at a better price. As stated above,
the factor that leads to these economies of scale is that
supermarkets can purchase material in bulk and reduce the cost
of delivery/ transportation.
Classmate 2
When I think of economies of scale, I think of lawncare and
landscaping businesses. More like lawncare. In lawncare, they
work very hard for most of the year, but during the winter
months, these workers and businesses don't have any yards to
work on because of the weather brings low demand for lawn
care. So all of these workers in the business are hurt because
they have nothing to do for those months. As the more lawns
you work on, the more workers you need. When the season is
done, you have all the workers but no yards.
12. As an international student at the school, the learning content
and environment we are exposed to are very different from our
actual experiences. So when we integrated into the life of all
English, it made me feel very stressed, and it was challenging to
find a way to release the stress, especially during the epidemic.
Due to the epidemic outbreak, no one could go out at will, and
the method of communication between my friends and I became
constrained. Such inability to meet and go out often led to an
estrangement between friends. During this period, I often felt
lonely, the pressure became great, and I could not release my
emotions properly. Therefore, I want to learn how to manage
and control myself and learn skills to improve my happiness and
happiness through this course.
When I finished the first activity in the project map, I was a
little lost, and I could not concentrate well; because I had never
tried these activities, such as meditation, it took me a lot of
time to relax. I often give up when I am doing my work; others
easily influence me, so doing exercises And activities is a big
challenge. My first plan is to set an alarm clock at 10 in the
morning and make a schedule to remind me to do exercises in a
place without any disturbance after class every day; I will
record it until it becomes my habit of life. The second plan is
based on my major of "drawing and Design" because I need to
finish my work in my studio at six o 'clock every night. After I
finish my career, I can let myself do the activities in the project
map because these activities can be very effective for me to
relax, and it is easy to let me insist. The third plan is to record
my daily activities by video at 10 pm and put them on social
software such as Tik Tok; this plan is the most interesting. It
can supervise me and also let me see the changes in the process.
13. Even after the course, I can continue to record my life on social
software.
How to communicate effectively with my partner,I have
reached an agreement with my partner this week. We made
adequate planning and reasonable time allocation. In standard
times,
we use WeChat every weekend around 7 am, but it
depends on when we finish dinner; If something happens over
the weekend that prevents us from meeting online, we move it
up to 7 pm Friday. It is also an excellent way to supervise and
encourage each other.
Regarding the "Authentic Happiness Inventory," my score is
1.96 out of 5, which is indeed a bit low for me. On the "Via
character'' website, I measured results that I didn't expect. On
“Via charter“, The results I measured were unexpected; In terms
of the proportion of my personality, my seven advantages are
Honesty, Airness, Kindness, Humor, Appreciation of Beauty
& Excellence, and Gratitude. The last one is Teamwork; When
the test result came out, I was a little happy and saw that I
needed to improve my love and learning. This website is
beneficial for me because it enables me to understand my
personality better. In the end, I hope that the grades I can
achieve in this course are as high as possible. "A+" is my ideal,
and I will also try my best to match my ideals.

What was the most challenging parts of your practices this
week?
What might you do differently next time?
The most challenging things is to use my character strength,
that part is easy but also difficult, because I am not sure when
and where can use my character strength, and how to express
my thought. There is a different between daily life and hand-
write things. Also, the language is a big challenging for me,
English is not my first language, so there are many problems
when I am doing my work.
The next time, I will try to touch different area and friends;
maybe I can use same character strength to do different things, I
believe it will produce different thought and emotion.
