SOURCES THAT ARE INCLUDED MUST BE USED, NO OUTSIDE SOURCES! A. Justification At the time of their founding, Latin American countries drew inspiration from the United States and its system of government based on democratically elected presidents subject to checks and balances from independent and co-equal branches of government. Yet democracy proved to be little more than an aspiration during most of the region’s independent history with countries fluctuating repeatedly, often in quick succession, from popularly elected leaders to dictatorships. Democracy failed to take root in even the wealthiest and most industrialized countries in the region as exemplified by repressive military dictatorships that ruled the Southern Cone during the 1970s. However, starting in the late 1970s and gathering momentum during the 1980s, Latin American dictatorships were replaced by popularly elected governments. This time really did prove different. Despite setbacks and persistent (and often well-justified) concerns about tangible results of democracy (its deliverables), today all but two Latin American countries qualify as functioning (if somewhat flawed) democracies. Democracy is, for now, to quote Linz and Stepan (1996, 15), “the only game in town” in Latin America. With that problem resolved, social scientists have turned their attention to a new problem: the quality of said democracies:  How far are today’s democratically elected governments from what was promised to the electorate prior to transition?  Specifically, what are the main strengths and weaknesses of each of the region’s democracies? You will tackle these questions by conducting an audit of the quality of democracy in a Latin American country of your choosing. This assignment combined with class lectures on the larger political trends in the region’s recent history, will provide you with a more detailed and nuanced picture of Latin American Politics. B. Assignment 1) You are to research and write a policy memo evaluating the state of democracy Argentina. The memo should be about 2,500 words or 10 pages long (double-spaced). 2) Begin by understanding the concept of democratic quality and the ways in which it can assessed. Quality of democracy in the country you select should be assessed following the framework developed by Levine and Molina (2011). Said framework evaluates the quality of a country’s democracy based on five criteria:  1) Electoral Decision; 2) Participation; 3) Responsiveness; 4.) Accountability; and 5) Sovereignty.  Read: o Daniel M. Levine, and Jose Molina, editors. 2011. The Quality of Democracy in Latin America. Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner Publishers, Chapters 1. 3) Get acquainted with the history of and the main political issues in your country. For that, you are required to read your country’s chapter in:  Skidmore, Thomas E., Peter H. Smith, and James N. Green. 2010. Modern Latin America, 7th Edition. New York: Oxford Unive.

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

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

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

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