A thesis statement is merely the main topic of the essay and the author’s opinion or position on that topic. Throughout your essay you set out to prove that opinion. An example from Week 3’s info: ‘Genghis Khan is not a leader who practiced true genocide.’ OR ‘Genghis Khan is an excellent example of a leader who practiced genocide.’ Three Points You must have three main points to prove your thesis. These are also known as the topic sentence on the template you will use. For the thesis – ‘Genghis Khan did not practice true genocide,’ one of your main points could be: 1) He killed everyone, everywhere and did not seem to discriminate. Three Points X 3 Pieces of Evidence With each of your three main points, you must back them up with three additional reason/detail/facts to support that main point. Confusing? Let me help. For example: The main point – ‘He killed everyone, everywhere and did not seem to discriminate,’ could then be backed up be three specific instances in which this was true. Help is Here! Both in the Week 3 Materials and in the content folder labelled ‘Rubrics and Assignment Materials’ is a handy template that you should definitely use to help organize your essay. You can add text to this pdf or simply use it to help you create a word document. Topics? You can choose any topic covered in this course from week 1-12 or any topic outside of it, related to genocide. You just need to clear your choice with me be.

Eng 101 e3 The Summary + Response” ESSAY Writing based on read.docx
Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

Stance Essay
Congratulations! You made it to your final assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.
In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong personal voice.
In the informative essay, you learned how to write objectively and support your points with credible sources to inform the audience.
Now in your final assignment, you will combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:
What possible positions/arguments are there?
What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
What are your main points?
What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to support your points with credible sources. You’re ready to take a position on the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
Does your personality carry over in your writing? Are your word choices personal and consistent? Is the tone formal?
Does it express your attitude about the topic?
Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
Does your introduction include solutions or approaches on the topic?
Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that clearly express your stance on the topic?
Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
Does your introduction provide a preview of the rest of your essay?

Eng 101 e3 The Summary + Response” ESSAY Writing based on read.docx
Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

In preparation for Essay 3 and by completing your textbook readings, you will be equipped to respond by objectively compiling information from a variety of sources to compose an essay that understands and practices reading, writing, and rhetoric within the context of a biblical worldview; applies methods of sound reasoning; produces well-structured essays; integrates sources accurately and effectively; writes with clarity; recognizes standard usage in English grammar, word choice (diction), phraseology, and sentence structure; and applies knowledge of sentence structure to basic sentence editing and revision (Syllabus MLOs: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and Module/Week 8 LOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
In Module/Week 7, you will write a thesis statement and outline for the cause and effect argument essay that you will write in the next module/week.
Develop an outline for your cause and effect argument essay that includes a clear thesis statement and a plan of support. Be sure to include all parts identified in “Structuring a Cause and Effect Argument” on pages 475–476 in your Practical Argument textbook. In addition, include at least 4 quotations, 1 summary,and 1 paraphrases into your essay from at least 3 outside sources to support your thesis statement and provide opposing argument(s). Be sure to document your sources correctly according to your documentation style (APA, MLA, or Turabian). Your outside sources can include scholarly sources and the Bible.

KATIES POST The crisis case I chose to discuss this week is th.docx
KATIE'S POST:
The crisis case I chose to discuss this week is the Tennessee Valley and the Kingston ash slide. On December 22, 2008, Tennessee Valley Authority who uses coal to generate electricity, had one of their containment pods that holds sludge from the ash wall begin to leak. The leak then caused the wall to eventually crumble. The leak then flowed into the Emory River that is located nearby. The river flowed into a nearby community, destroyed several houses, and forced families to evacuate the area.
Chapter 5 discusses the importance of organization members accepting that crisis can start quickly and unexpectedly. Two months before the leak, TVA was informed of a wet spot located on one retaining wall that suggested a leak was present. The moisture was eroding the structure's integrity, but TVA continued to add ash to the pond. TVA organization leaders ignored the warning signs of a potential crisis. TVA then accepted blame for the spill and began dredging the Emory River shortly after the incident. No other independent party was allowed to assess the dredging plan before it launched. If TVA's plan failed, the organization would have been at fault once again.
Upon further investigation of the crisis, lawyers were able to identify six primary failures in TVA's systems, controls, standards, and culture. “Lack of clarity and accountability for ultimate responsibility, lack of standardization, training, and metrics, siloed responsibilities and poor communication, lack of checks and balances, lack of prevention priority and resources, and being reactive instead of proactive” (Ulmer, Sellnow,& Seeger, 87).
Unfortunately, this unintentional crises could have been avoided had the proper crisis management, quality assurance, and procedures been put in place. TVA's negligence cost people their homes, polluted the river, and the uncertainty of long-term health conditions from being exposed to the ash's toxins. "The community was not able to locate reliable information about potential short- and long-term health effects, uncertainty about the extent of environmental damage, and feared plummeting property values" (Ritchie, Little, & Campbell, 179). TVA was at fault for several things, but the most significant fault they did not consider is the risk of storing large volumes of fly ash near the Emory River that flowed into a nearby community.

WEEK 3: LISTEN AND ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Listen and Ask the Right Questions
You come home from work after a long day only to discover that your significant other is upset. You ask
what’s wrong. As you hear the story unfold, you repeatedly offer suggestions as to how your significant other
might solve the problems described. You are caught completely off guard when you end up sleeping on the
couch. What you’ve just experienced is a frequent cause of failure where in-person communication is
concerned. Your spouse was angry because you didn’t listen. You instead assumed you knew what could
make the problem go away.
Effective communication is not just about imparting information. It is about receiving information, too. When
two people with a pair of radio walkie-talkies both hold down the button to talk, neither one of them can hear
the other. They are both too busy sending to receive. To communicate effectively, you must focus most of
your energy on listening when the other person talks. When someone feels heard, they are more receptive
to your own message, more likely to build rapport with you, and more likely to become your active ally in
solving the problems at hand. The result is that all parties to the communication exchange information
effectively, moving toward a collaborative solution.
When was the last time you felt heard? Do your colleagues listen? Do your direct reports listen? Does your
boss listen? Do you?
Listening – and only listening, with no reply needed, no action taken, and no solution suggested – can grow
a relationship. We often believe, incorrectly, that more is better. Attempting to multi-task when you should be
listening is not productive. Worse, it causes us to lose the human connection that we crave for real success
in our business relationships. Most importantly, however, we must not merely listen actively to build these
relationships; we must listen with empathy to achieve a connection with our colleagues.
Listen with Empathy
William Ury, an author and expert in negotiation, explains that there are three important reasons to listen:
1. Listening helps us understand the other side. Negotiation is an exercise in influence, and nothing
helps you influence another person better than understanding them.
2. Listening helps us connect because it builds rapport and trust. When we listen, we demonstrate
empathy because everyone wants to be heard.
3. Listening makes it more likely that the other person will listen to us, which helps us attain their buy-
in.

Just Walk on By by Brent Staples My firs.docx
Just Walk on By
by Brent Staples
My first victim was a woman—white, well dressed, probably in
her early twenties. I came upon her late one evening on a deserted street
in Hyde Park, a relatively affluent neighborhood in an otherwise mean,
impoverished section of Chicago. As I swung onto the avenue behind her,
there seemed to be a discreet, uninflammatory distance between us. Not so.
She cast back a worried glance. To her, the youngish black man—a broad
six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved
into the pockets of a bulky military jacket—seemed menacingly close.
After a few more quick glimpses, she picked up her pace and was soon
running in earnest. Within seconds she disappeared into a cross street.
That was more than a decade ago. I was 23 years old, a graduate
student newly arrived at the University of Chicago. It was in the echo of
that terrified woman’s footfalls that I first began to know the unwieldy
inheritance I’d come into—the ability to alter public space in ugly ways. It
was clear that she thought herself the quarry of a mugger, a rapist, or
worse. Suffering a bout of insomnia, however, I was stalking sleep, not
defenseless wayfarers. As a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife
to raw chicken—let alone hold it to a person’s throat—I was surprised,
embarrassed, and dismayed all at once. Her flight made me feel like an
accomplice in tyranny. It also made it clear that I was indistinguishable
from the muggers who occasionally seeped into the area from the
surrounding ghetto. That first encounter, and those that followed signified
that a vast unnerving gulf lay between nighttime pedestrians—particularly
women—and me. And I soon gathered that being perceived as dangerous
is a hazard in itself. I only needed to turn a corner into a dicey situation,
or crowd some frightened, armed person in a foyer somewhere, or make
an errant move after being pulled over by a policeman. Where fear and
weapons meet—and they often do in urban America—there is always the
possibility of death.
In that first year, my first away from my hometown, I was to
become thoroughly familiar with the language of fear. At dark, shadowy
intersections in Chicago, I could cross in front of a car stopped at a traffic
light and elicit the thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk of the driver—black, white,
male, or female—hammering down the door locks. On less traveled streets
after dark, I grew accustomed to but never comfortable with people who
crossed to the other side of the street rather than pass me. Then there were
the standard unpleasantries with police, doormen, bouncers, cab drivers,
and others whose business it is to screen out troublesome individuals
before there is any nastiness.
I moved to New York nearly two years ago and I have remained an
avid night walker. In central Manhattan, the near-constant crowd cover
minimizes tense one-on-one stre.

A Code of
Ethics for
Public Health
The mandate to ensure and pro-
tect the health of the public is an
inherently moral one. It carries
with it an obligation to care for
the well-being of communities,
and it implies the possession of an
element of power to carry out
that mandate. The need to exer-
cise power to ensure the health of
populations and, at the same time,
to avoid abuses of such power are
at the crux of public health ethics.
Until recently, the ethical na-
ture of public health has been im-
plicitly assumed rather than ex-
plicitly stated. Increasingly,
however, society is demanding ex-
plicit attention to ethics. This de-
mand arises from technological
advances that create new possibil-
ities and, with them, new ethical
dilemmas; new challenges to
health, such as the advent of HIV;
and abuses of power, such as the
Tuskegee study of syphilis.
Medical institutions have been
more explicit about the ethical
elements of their practice than
have public health institutions.
However, the concerns of public
health are not fully consonant
with those of medicine. Thus, we
cannot simply translate the princi-
ples of medical ethics to public
health. In contrast to medicine,
public health is concerned more
with populations than with indi-
viduals, and more with prevention
than with cure. The need to artic-
ulate a distinct ethic for public
health has been noted by a num-
ber of public health professionals
and ethicists.1–5
A code of ethics for public
health can clarify the distinctive
elements of public health and the
ethical principles that follow from
or respond to those elements. It
can make clear to populations and
communities the ideals of the pub-
lic health institutions that serve
them, ideals for which the institu-
tions can be held accountable.
THE PROCESS OF
WRITING THE CODE
The backgrounds and perspec-
tives of people who identify
themselves as public health pro-
fessionals are as diverse as the
multitude of factors affecting the
health of populations. Articulating
a common ethic for this diverse
group is a formidable challenge.
In the spring of 2000, the gradu-
ating class of the Public Health
Leadership Institute chose writing
a code of ethics for public health
as a group project. The institute
provides advanced leadership
training to people who are al-
ready in leadership roles in pub-
lic health. Because the fellows
bring a wealth of experience from
a wide variety of public health in-
stitutions, they are uniquely able
to represent diverse perspectives
and identify ethical issues com-
mon in public health.
At the 2000 meeting of the Na-
tional Association of City and
County Health Officers, the group
added a non-institute member
( J. C. Thomas) and charted a plan
for working toward a code. The
plan included receiving a formal
charge as the code of ethics work-
ing group at the annual meeting of
the American Public Health Asso-

Joyce is a 34-year-old woman who has been married 10 years. She .docx
Joyce is a 34-year-old woman who has been married 10 years. She has three children, all less than 10 years old: Sheena (age 9), Jack (age 6), and Beth (age 2). Her husband is a prominent attorney. They present an ideal picture of an upper-middle-class family. They live in a fashionable suburb. The husband has been successful to the extent that he has been made a full partner in a large law firm. The family is very active in church, the country club, and various other social organizations. Joyce is an active member of several charitable, civic, and social groups. Joyce’s initial call to the abuse center was vague and guarded. She expressed an interest in inquiring for “another woman” in regard to the purpose of the center. After she had received information and an invitation to call back, a number of weeks elapsed. Joyce’s second call occurred after receiving a severe beating from her husband.
Joyce tells the crisis worker in the phone:"Well, last night he beat me worse than ever. I thought he was really going to kill me this time. It had been building up for the past few weeks. His fuse was getting shorter and shorter, both with me and the kids. It’s his work, I guess. Finally he came home late last night. Dinner was cold. We were supposed to go out, and I guess it was my fault . . . I complained about his being late, and he blew up. Started yelling that he was gonna teach me a lesson. He started hitting me with his fists . . .knocked me down . . . and then started kicking me. I got up and ran into the bathroom. The kids were yelling for him to stop and he cuffed Sheena . . . God, it was horrible! (Wracked with sobs for more than a minute. CW waits.) I’m sorry, I just can’t seem to keep control."

Journal: Supervision and Management Style
When it comes to supervising and managing personnel in human services organizations, everyone has his or her own leadership style. Some styles are effective and supportive; others may be ineffectual and unhelpful. When supervising and managing staff, it is important for human services administrators to first identify their leadership style and examine personal strengths and weaknesses related to their leadership style. Understanding how to utilize strengths and address weaknesses in leadership style is important for administrators to be both effective and supportive when supervising and managing.
In order to complete the Application Assignment, you must first complete the "Types of Leadership and Patterns of Management" interactive graphic provided in the Learning Resources. Once you have done so, take note of your leadership style and think about your areas of strengths and weaknesses.

HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY AND THE ROLE OF ETHICS
IN THE DISCIPLINE
Ian Lawson
ABSTRACT
This paper discusses some of the moral and ethical issues associated with psychological
research throughout history. This is a very broad area which covers a vast array of topics.
However, it is not within the scope of this paper of focusing on absolutely every single aspect
of this area. Thus, not sacrificing depth of analysis, the present paper brings relevant issues
for discussion by examining some key areas including, schizophrenia, and gender and IQ
research, as well as hypothesis and significance testing, which normally constitutes the basis
for changes in ethics and research development. These areas have become paradigmatic for
much criticism concerning its moral and ethical implications for individuals who received
diagnostic labels as a consequence of such research. This paper takes the position that the very
practice of uncritically presenting such research as being ‘value free’ or as some form of
universal and absolute truth is in itself a cause for major ethical concerns.
Keywords: Critical Psychology, history of psychology, IQ, Schizophrenia

INTRODUCTION
One can trace the development of contemporary ethics back to the Vienna Circle
and its associated philosophers, researchers and theorists attempt to demarcate
science from pseudo-science (Wlash, Teo & Baydala, 2014). It was at this point that
theorists defined what aspects of reality were worthy of studying, and thus defining
the very course of alleged scientific progress (Wlash, Teo & Baydala, 2014). It
should also be noted that early research being carried out in human participants
involved deliberate violation of ethics conduct (Mandal, Acharya & Parija, 2011).
For instance, in 1946 the American tribunal brought leading German physicians to
justice due gross negligence of ethics and crimes against humanity. More
specifically, these physicians were being tried mainly due to conducting medical
experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent.
As a result of such experiments most prisoners would either be permanently disabled
or would die (Mandal, Acharya & Parija, 2011). It should be evident that much of
such atrocities were carried out in the name of scientific progress, which seems to
be the usual argument for changes and negligence in ethics.
When it comes to examining epistemological and ontological stand point of
scientific underpinnings of mainstream psychology it should be evident that many
constructs emerging through psyc.

KATIES POST The crisis case I chose to discuss this week is th.docx
KATIE'S POST:
The crisis case I chose to discuss this week is the Tennessee Valley and the Kingston ash slide. On December 22, 2008, Tennessee Valley Authority who uses coal to generate electricity, had one of their containment pods that holds sludge from the ash wall begin to leak. The leak then caused the wall to eventually crumble. The leak then flowed into the Emory River that is located nearby. The river flowed into a nearby community, destroyed several houses, and forced families to evacuate the area.
Chapter 5 discusses the importance of organization members accepting that crisis can start quickly and unexpectedly. Two months before the leak, TVA was informed of a wet spot located on one retaining wall that suggested a leak was present. The moisture was eroding the structure's integrity, but TVA continued to add ash to the pond. TVA organization leaders ignored the warning signs of a potential crisis. TVA then accepted blame for the spill and began dredging the Emory River shortly after the incident. No other independent party was allowed to assess the dredging plan before it launched. If TVA's plan failed, the organization would have been at fault once again.
Upon further investigation of the crisis, lawyers were able to identify six primary failures in TVA's systems, controls, standards, and culture. “Lack of clarity and accountability for ultimate responsibility, lack of standardization, training, and metrics, siloed responsibilities and poor communication, lack of checks and balances, lack of prevention priority and resources, and being reactive instead of proactive” (Ulmer, Sellnow,& Seeger, 87).
Unfortunately, this unintentional crises could have been avoided had the proper crisis management, quality assurance, and procedures been put in place. TVA's negligence cost people their homes, polluted the river, and the uncertainty of long-term health conditions from being exposed to the ash's toxins. "The community was not able to locate reliable information about potential short- and long-term health effects, uncertainty about the extent of environmental damage, and feared plummeting property values" (Ritchie, Little, & Campbell, 179). TVA was at fault for several things, but the most significant fault they did not consider is the risk of storing large volumes of fly ash near the Emory River that flowed into a nearby community.

WEEK 3: LISTEN AND ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Listen and Ask the Right Questions
You come home from work after a long day only to discover that your significant other is upset. You ask
what’s wrong. As you hear the story unfold, you repeatedly offer suggestions as to how your significant other
might solve the problems described. You are caught completely off guard when you end up sleeping on the
couch. What you’ve just experienced is a frequent cause of failure where in-person communication is
concerned. Your spouse was angry because you didn’t listen. You instead assumed you knew what could
make the problem go away.
Effective communication is not just about imparting information. It is about receiving information, too. When
two people with a pair of radio walkie-talkies both hold down the button to talk, neither one of them can hear
the other. They are both too busy sending to receive. To communicate effectively, you must focus most of
your energy on listening when the other person talks. When someone feels heard, they are more receptive
to your own message, more likely to build rapport with you, and more likely to become your active ally in
solving the problems at hand. The result is that all parties to the communication exchange information
effectively, moving toward a collaborative solution.
When was the last time you felt heard? Do your colleagues listen? Do your direct reports listen? Does your
boss listen? Do you?
Listening – and only listening, with no reply needed, no action taken, and no solution suggested – can grow
a relationship. We often believe, incorrectly, that more is better. Attempting to multi-task when you should be
listening is not productive. Worse, it causes us to lose the human connection that we crave for real success
in our business relationships. Most importantly, however, we must not merely listen actively to build these
relationships; we must listen with empathy to achieve a connection with our colleagues.
Listen with Empathy
William Ury, an author and expert in negotiation, explains that there are three important reasons to listen:
1. Listening helps us understand the other side. Negotiation is an exercise in influence, and nothing
helps you influence another person better than understanding them.
2. Listening helps us connect because it builds rapport and trust. When we listen, we demonstrate
empathy because everyone wants to be heard.
3. Listening makes it more likely that the other person will listen to us, which helps us attain their buy-
in.

Just Walk on By by Brent Staples My firs.docx
Just Walk on By
by Brent Staples
My first victim was a woman—white, well dressed, probably in
her early twenties. I came upon her late one evening on a deserted street
in Hyde Park, a relatively affluent neighborhood in an otherwise mean,
impoverished section of Chicago. As I swung onto the avenue behind her,
there seemed to be a discreet, uninflammatory distance between us. Not so.
She cast back a worried glance. To her, the youngish black man—a broad
six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved
into the pockets of a bulky military jacket—seemed menacingly close.
After a few more quick glimpses, she picked up her pace and was soon
running in earnest. Within seconds she disappeared into a cross street.
That was more than a decade ago. I was 23 years old, a graduate
student newly arrived at the University of Chicago. It was in the echo of
that terrified woman’s footfalls that I first began to know the unwieldy
inheritance I’d come into—the ability to alter public space in ugly ways. It
was clear that she thought herself the quarry of a mugger, a rapist, or
worse. Suffering a bout of insomnia, however, I was stalking sleep, not
defenseless wayfarers. As a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife
to raw chicken—let alone hold it to a person’s throat—I was surprised,
embarrassed, and dismayed all at once. Her flight made me feel like an
accomplice in tyranny. It also made it clear that I was indistinguishable
from the muggers who occasionally seeped into the area from the
surrounding ghetto. That first encounter, and those that followed signified
that a vast unnerving gulf lay between nighttime pedestrians—particularly
women—and me. And I soon gathered that being perceived as dangerous
is a hazard in itself. I only needed to turn a corner into a dicey situation,
or crowd some frightened, armed person in a foyer somewhere, or make
an errant move after being pulled over by a policeman. Where fear and
weapons meet—and they often do in urban America—there is always the
possibility of death.
In that first year, my first away from my hometown, I was to
become thoroughly familiar with the language of fear. At dark, shadowy
intersections in Chicago, I could cross in front of a car stopped at a traffic
light and elicit the thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk of the driver—black, white,
male, or female—hammering down the door locks. On less traveled streets
after dark, I grew accustomed to but never comfortable with people who
crossed to the other side of the street rather than pass me. Then there were
the standard unpleasantries with police, doormen, bouncers, cab drivers,
and others whose business it is to screen out troublesome individuals
before there is any nastiness.
I moved to New York nearly two years ago and I have remained an
avid night walker. In central Manhattan, the near-constant crowd cover
minimizes tense one-on-one stre.

A Code of
Ethics for
Public Health
The mandate to ensure and pro-
tect the health of the public is an
inherently moral one. It carries
with it an obligation to care for
the well-being of communities,
and it implies the possession of an
element of power to carry out
that mandate. The need to exer-
cise power to ensure the health of
populations and, at the same time,
to avoid abuses of such power are
at the crux of public health ethics.
Until recently, the ethical na-
ture of public health has been im-
plicitly assumed rather than ex-
plicitly stated. Increasingly,
however, society is demanding ex-
plicit attention to ethics. This de-
mand arises from technological
advances that create new possibil-
ities and, with them, new ethical
dilemmas; new challenges to
health, such as the advent of HIV;
and abuses of power, such as the
Tuskegee study of syphilis.
Medical institutions have been
more explicit about the ethical
elements of their practice than
have public health institutions.
However, the concerns of public
health are not fully consonant
with those of medicine. Thus, we
cannot simply translate the princi-
ples of medical ethics to public
health. In contrast to medicine,
public health is concerned more
with populations than with indi-
viduals, and more with prevention
than with cure. The need to artic-
ulate a distinct ethic for public
health has been noted by a num-
ber of public health professionals
and ethicists.1–5
A code of ethics for public
health can clarify the distinctive
elements of public health and the
ethical principles that follow from
or respond to those elements. It
can make clear to populations and
communities the ideals of the pub-
lic health institutions that serve
them, ideals for which the institu-
tions can be held accountable.
THE PROCESS OF
WRITING THE CODE
The backgrounds and perspec-
tives of people who identify
themselves as public health pro-
fessionals are as diverse as the
multitude of factors affecting the
health of populations. Articulating
a common ethic for this diverse
group is a formidable challenge.
In the spring of 2000, the gradu-
ating class of the Public Health
Leadership Institute chose writing
a code of ethics for public health
as a group project. The institute
provides advanced leadership
training to people who are al-
ready in leadership roles in pub-
lic health. Because the fellows
bring a wealth of experience from
a wide variety of public health in-
stitutions, they are uniquely able
to represent diverse perspectives
and identify ethical issues com-
mon in public health.
At the 2000 meeting of the Na-
tional Association of City and
County Health Officers, the group
added a non-institute member
( J. C. Thomas) and charted a plan
for working toward a code. The
plan included receiving a formal
charge as the code of ethics work-
ing group at the annual meeting of
the American Public Health Asso-

Joyce is a 34-year-old woman who has been married 10 years. She has three children, all less than 10 years old: Sheena (age 9), Jack (age 6), and Beth (age 2). Her husband is a prominent attorney. They present an ideal picture of an upper-middle-class family. They live in a fashionable suburb. The husband has been successful to the extent that he has been made a full partner in a large law firm. The family is very active in church, the country club, and various other social organizations. Joyce is an active member of several charitable, civic, and social groups. Joyce’s initial call to the abuse center was vague and guarded. She expressed an interest in inquiring for “another woman” in regard to the purpose of the center. After she had received information and an invitation to call back, a number of weeks elapsed. Joyce’s second call occurred after receiving a severe beating from her husband.
Joyce tells the crisis worker in the phone:"Well, last night he beat me worse than ever. I thought he was really going to kill me this time. It had been building up for the past few weeks. His fuse was getting shorter and shorter, both with me and the kids. It’s his work, I guess. Finally he came home late last night. Dinner was cold. We were supposed to go out, and I guess it was my fault . . . I complained about his being late, and he blew up. Started yelling that he was gonna teach me a lesson. He started hitting me with his fists . . .knocked me down . . . and then started kicking me. I got up and ran into the bathroom. The kids were yelling for him to stop and he cuffed Sheena . . . God, it was horrible! (Wracked with sobs for more than a minute. CW waits.) I’m sorry, I just can’t seem to keep control."

Journal: Supervision and Management Style
When it comes to supervising and managing personnel in human services organizations, everyone has his or her own leadership style. Some styles are effective and supportive; others may be ineffectual and unhelpful. When supervising and managing staff, it is important for human services administrators to first identify their leadership style and examine personal strengths and weaknesses related to their leadership style. Understanding how to utilize strengths and address weaknesses in leadership style is important for administrators to be both effective and supportive when supervising and managing.
In order to complete the Application Assignment, you must first complete the "Types of Leadership and Patterns of Management" interactive graphic provided in the Learning Resources. Once you have done so, take note of your leadership style and think about your areas of strengths and weaknesses.

HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY AND THE ROLE OF ETHICS
IN THE DISCIPLINE
Ian Lawson
ABSTRACT
This paper discusses some of the moral and ethical issues associated with psychological
research throughout history. This is a very broad area which covers a vast array of topics.
However, it is not within the scope of this paper of focusing on absolutely every single aspect
of this area. Thus, not sacrificing depth of analysis, the present paper brings relevant issues
for discussion by examining some key areas including, schizophrenia, and gender and IQ
research, as well as hypothesis and significance testing, which normally constitutes the basis
for changes in ethics and research development. These areas have become paradigmatic for
much criticism concerning its moral and ethical implications for individuals who received
diagnostic labels as a consequence of such research. This paper takes the position that the very
practice of uncritically presenting such research as being ‘value free’ or as some form of
universal and absolute truth is in itself a cause for major ethical concerns.
Keywords: Critical Psychology, history of psychology, IQ, Schizophrenia

INTRODUCTION
One can trace the development of contemporary ethics back to the Vienna Circle
and its associated philosophers, researchers and theorists attempt to demarcate
science from pseudo-science (Wlash, Teo & Baydala, 2014). It was at this point that
theorists defined what aspects of reality were worthy of studying, and thus defining
the very course of alleged scientific progress (Wlash, Teo & Baydala, 2014). It
should also be noted that early research being carried out in human participants
involved deliberate violation of ethics conduct (Mandal, Acharya & Parija, 2011).
For instance, in 1946 the American tribunal brought leading German physicians to
justice due gross negligence of ethics and crimes against humanity. More
specifically, these physicians were being tried mainly due to conducting medical
experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent.
As a result of such experiments most prisoners would either be permanently disabled
or would die (Mandal, Acharya & Parija, 2011). It should be evident that much of
such atrocities were carried out in the name of scientific progress, which seems to
be the usual argument for changes and negligence in ethics.
When it comes to examining epistemological and ontological stand point of
scientific underpinnings of mainstream psychology it should be evident that many
constructs emerging through psyc.

Abstract
This aspect of a broader study included 110 (68
White/European American and 42 Black/African
American) social service professionals. The primary
focus of this aspect of the study was to verify the
value orientation or core beliefs of the practitioners
who deliver services to clients through social service
agencies and programs. The conceptualization
of the core beliefs explored the values and value
conflicts in relation to professional practice. The
participants were employed in a Midwestern
metropolitan region. They responded to a survey
instrument that included vignettes, closed-ended
items, scaled responses, as well as either-or type
items. Major categories of the exploration included:
life and death issues, lifestyle, domestic and
social perspectives, value conflicts with the social
work profession, and personal responses to value
conflicts. Specific items measuring values related
to abortion, homosexuality, religiosity, euthanasia,
and corporal punishment were included. Study
results showed statistical significance on 26 issues
as African American participants were compared
with White participants.
Keywords: value conflicts, social work, ethical
dilemmas, ethnicity, professional relationship
Introduction
The complexity of American society (Jarrett,
2000), specifically due to its historic, economic,
social, and ethnic makeup, requires that social
work professionals take their clients’ ethnicity,
values, and professional-client value conflicts
into consideration. Historical dynamics, such as
unproductive treatment, have contributed to the
reluctance of various population groups to engage
with professional service providers. This history
(Barker, 2014) has influenced the adoption of
guidelines that require social workers to be culturally
aware during interventions and recognizing that
diversity-related characteristics have influence upon
an individual’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Barker (2014) further noted that the concept of
values is influenced by one’s perceptions of what
comprises appropriate principles, practices, and
behaviors. An individual’s personal values are often
considered as a representation of one’s core beliefs
and what an individual may perceive as right.
Therefore, these beliefs do not require supporting
evidence for those who embrace them and may
result in behavio.

Are Social Work Advocacy Groups Using Web 2.0 Effectively?
HEATHER R. EDWARDS and RICHARD HOEFER
University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas
PAGE 220
This article describes social work advocacy efforts, states what Web 2.0 technology has to offer social work advocacy, and presents original research on the current levels of Web 2.0 use on social work advocacy organization Web sites. This study employed a content analysis of a purposive sample of social work advocacy organization Web sites (N = 63). The researchers created a data collection instrument containing items related to communicating with policy makers, resource gathering, information, and use of specific Web 2.0 technologies. Findings reveal that social work organizations make good use of their Web sites for some advocacy activities, and grossly underutilize the Web forum for others. Furthermore, social work organizations do not use Web 2.0 often for advocacy. Barriers impeding Web 2.0 use and methods to overcome such barriers are also discussed. Implications for future social work education, practice, and research follow.
KEYWORDS advocacy, Web 2.0, Internet advocacy, social work advocacy, policy practice
The Code of Ethics for the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) states that social workers “pursue social change” and “challenge injustice” (NASW, 2008). Advocacy aimed at informing the policy process serves as a key method that social workers use to fulfill this mission (Hoefer, 2006; Jackson-Elmoore, 2005). Social work advocates must take advantage of every advocacy tactic available to the greatest extent possible to ensure timely policy change for vulnerable populations.
PAGE 221
Advocacy tactics have been divided into “inside” and “outside” (Hoefer, 2001, 2005; Walker, 1993). Inside tactics are those that groups use to work directly with decision makers, such as lobbying. Outside tactics are employed by interest group members or the public to put pressure on decision makers. The Internet, as originally designed (Web 1.0), has been effectively used as an outside tactic to disseminate information from interest group leaders to decision makers and members of the public. Thus, the Web is a tool advocates can use to keep their message available at all times. In recent years, the Internet has moved from being a one-way highway to a more interactive entity, called Web 2.0. This second generation of Web site tools expands human services organizations’ advocacy efforts well beyond information dissemination. Through social media applications such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, videocasts, social networking, etc., human service organizations can promote information sharing, participatory knowledge generation, and collaboration building (Fine, 2007; McNutt, 2008; McNutt & Menon, 2008; Sche.

Abstract
Objective: Personality traits are associated with well-being, but the precise correlates vary across well-being dimensions and
within each Big Five domain. This study is the first to examine the unique associations between the Big Five aspects (rather
than facets) and multiple well-being dimensions.
Method: Two samples of U.S. participants (total N 5 706; Mage 5 36.17; 54% female) recruited via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk
completed measures of the Big Five aspects and subjective, psychological, and PERMA well-being.
Results: One aspect within each domain was more strongly associated with well-being variables. Enthusiasm and Withdrawal
were strongly associated with a broad range of well-being variables, but other aspects of personality also had idiosyncratic
associations with distinct forms of positive functioning (e.g., Compassion with positive relationships, Industriousness with
accomplishment, and Intellect with personal growth).
Conclusions: An aspect-level analysis provides an optimal (i.e., parsimonious yet sufficiently comprehensive) framework for
describing the relation between personality traits and multiple ways of thriving in life.
Keywords: Personality, aspects, Big Five, subjective well-being, psychological well-being
When multiple positive end states are examined, it becomes
apparent that aspects of psychological well-being may be
achieved by more people than just the nonneurotic, extra-
verted members of society. (Schmutte & Ryff, 1997, p. 558)
The large literature describing the associations between person-
ality traits and well-being suggests that Extraversion (the tendency
to be bold, talkative, enthusiastic, and sociable) and Neuroticism
(the tendency to be emotionally unstable and prone to negative
emotions) are especially strong predictors of well-being (e.g.,
Steel, Schmidt, & Shultz, 2008). But is well-being only accessible
to the extraverted and non-neurotic? We propose that more
nuanced insights can be revealed by examining the relation
between narrower traits and a broader spectrum of well-being
dimensions. The goal of the current study is to comprehensively
describe the unique associations between personality aspects and
dimensions of well-being across three well-being taxonomies.
Personality Traits and Three Taxonomies
of Well-Being
Personality traits and well-being dimensions can each be
described at different levels of resolution. The Big Five domains
provide a relatively comprehensive framework for organizing
differential patterns of affect, behavior, and cognition (John,
Naumann, & Soto, 2008). These broad traits can be further bro-
ken dow.

Self-Reference and the Encoding of Personal Information
T. B. Rogers, N. A. Kuiper, and W. S. Kirker
University of Calgary, Canada
The degree to which the self is implicated in processing personal information
was investigated. Subjects rated adjectives on four tasks designed to force
varying kinds of encoding: structural, phonemic, semantic, and self-reference.
In two experiments, incidental recall of the rated words indicated that adjec-
tives rated under the self-reference task were recalled the best. These results
indicate that self-reference is a rich and powerful encoding process. As an
aspect of the human information-processing system, the self appears to func-
tion as a superordinate schema that is deeply involved in the processing, inter-
pretation, and memory of personal information.
Present research and theory in personality
appear to be placing more and more empha-
sis on how a person has organized his or her
psychological world. Starting with Kelly's
(1955) formulation of personal constructs,
we see a gradual emergence of a number of
avenues of inquiry that use this as their focal
point. In person perception, the concept of
lay personality theory stresses that the ob-
server's analytic network of expected trait
covariations is an integral part of how he
processes (and generates) interpersonal data
(Hastorf, Schneider, & Polefka, 1970). Bern
and Allen (1974), in their embellishment of
Allport's (1937) idiographic position, argue
that an important determinant of predictive
utility of trait measurement is the manner
in which the respondent has organized his or
her view of the trait being measured. These
authors see the overlap between the respond-
ent's and the experimenter's concept of the
trait as a necessary prerequisite of predic-
tion. Attribution theory (Jones et al., 1971)
is another example of this increased accent
on personal organization. Here the emphasis
is on how the subject explains past behavior

and how these explanations are organized in
an attributional network. The common
thread in all of these contemporary research
areas is the notion that the cognitions of a
person, particularly their manner of organ-
ization, should be an integral part of our
attempts to explain personality and behavior.
Of concern in the present article is the
construct of self and how it is implicated in
the organization of personal data. Our gen-
eral position is that the self is an extremely
active and powerful agent in the organizati.

Influence of Gender Constancy and Social Power
on Sex-Linked Modeling
Kay Bussey
Macquarie University
New South Wales, Australia
Albert Bandura
Stanford University
Competing predictions derived from cognitive-developmental theory and social
learning theory concerning sex-linked modeling were tested. In cognitive-develop-
mental theory, gender constancy is considered a necessary prerequisite for the
emulation of same-sex models, whereas according to social learning theory, sex-
role development is promoted through a vast system of social influences with
modeling serving as a major conveyor of sex role information. In accord with
social learning theory, even children at a lower level of gender conception emulated
same-sex models in preference to opposite-sex ones. Level of gender constancy
was associated with higher emulation of both male and female models rather
than operating as a selective determinant of modeling. This finding corroborates
modeling as a basic mechanism in the sex-typing process. In a second experiment
we explored the limits of same-sex modeling by pitting social power against the
force of collective modeling of different patterns of behavior by male and female
models. Social power over activities and rewarding resources produced cross-sex
modeling in boys, but not in girls. This unexpected pattern of cross-sex modeling
is explained by the differential sex-typing pressures that exist for boys and girls
and socialization experiences that heighten the attractiveness of social power
for boys.
Most theories of sex role development as-
sign a major role to modeling as a basic
mechanism of sex role learning (Bandura,
1969; Kagan, 1964; Mischel, 1970; Sears,
Rau & Alpert, 1965). Maccoby and Jacklin
(1974) have questioned whether social prac-
tices or modeling processes are influential in
the development of sex-linked roles. They
point to findings that in laboratory situations
children do not consistently pattern their

- 3. Your How to Guide (narrated by me)
- 5. An Essay A Thesis: You must PROVE something. A thesis statement is merely the main topic of the essay and the author’s opinion or position on that topic. Throughout your essay you set out to prove that opinion. An example from Week 3’s info: ‘Genghis Khan is not a leader who practiced true genocide.’ OR ‘Genghis Khan is an excellent example of a leader who practiced genocide.’
- 6. Three Points You must have three main points to prove your thesis. These are also known as the topic sentence on the template you will use. For the thesis – ‘Genghis Khan did not practice true genocide,’ one of your main points could be: 1) He killed everyone, everywhere and did not seem to discriminate.
- 8. Three Points X 3 Pieces of Evidence With each of your three main points, you must back them up with three additional reason/detail/facts to support that main point. Confusing? Let me help. For example: The main point – ‘He killed everyone, everywhere and did not seem to discriminate,’ could then be backed up be three specific instances in which this was true.
- 9. Help is Here! Both in the Week 3 Materials and in the content folder labelled ‘Rubrics and Assignment Materials’ is a handy template that you should definitely use to help organize your essay. You can add text to this pdf or simply use it to help you create a word document.
- 10. Topics? You can choose any topic covered in this course from week 1- 12 or any topic outside of it, related to genocide. You just need to clear your choice with me before you begin your essay. Please keep in mind that whatever topic you choose for topic essay, you cannot do again for the online group presentation.
- 11. Other Logistics
- 12. This paper is due on the Sunday evening (11:59PM) of Week 5 It must be formatted in APA style referencing. Please see the resources available in the ‘Rubrics and Assignment Materials’ folder to help you out with this. There is also an example APA Reference list at the end of this presentation. The essay must be between 1200-1500 words. And formatted in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font with an appropriate title page.
- 13. Final Questions Please direct any other questions to the online discussion forum that has been created for the Topic Essay. I will be monitoring questions from there and you may also find you get helpful answers from your brilliant classmates. Before emailing me, please ensure the answer to your question is not answered in this PowerPoint video or on the rubric that is attached to this assignment. I will not answer emails in which the answer is obvious – you must be responsible for your own learning. I’m mean like that ;)
- 14. APA Style APA Referencing is a MUST for everything in this course. You must use it in your essay, in your group presentation and your reflection journal. Therefore, it’s pretty important to know! APA Referencing must have an in-text and reference page
- 15. component. Within the text you must give me the last name of the author and the date of the publication in brackets after the information you used from your source. For example (Smith, 2010).
- 16. APA Style Reference List
- 17. APA Style Reference List Important things to remember: The APA reference page needs to be in alphabetical order Any source you use in your research, MUST be sourced in-text and in your reference page Not sourcing will make you lose major marks on all assignments Use this video to help you out: https://youtu.be/10eg_GB_A9E
