I. Reading: Why Set Goals?
Why set goals? Having a clear direction for your future and a picture of what you plan to do is
extremely important for maintaining a positive attitude. Having clear goals is a key to creating and
maintaining a positive mindset even when “things get tough.”
Qualities of Goals
In order for goals to be useful, they need to have the following qualities:
The goals that you set for yourself must be based on your values and beliefs.
No one else can choose goals for you. Others can make suggestions, but you must "own" your
goals for them to be useful.
You must decide what you want to achieve.

Goal Setting and Planning
In this unit, you will be focusing on goal setting and planning. In order to set realistic goals for yourself, you must first have a clear
understanding of what is important to you.
You will also begin planning ahead for your Unit 8 project by setting up an interview with a professional in your chosen field.
Goal Setting
In Unit 7 you investigate the power of setting goals. You seek to recognize the importance of goal setting and actually apply this
S.M.A.R.T. concept to your Unit 7 interview with completion and submission of your project in Unit 8. Goal setting will assist you and
motivate you to reach for success.
Why is Goal Setting Important?
Imagine you decide to build a house. You do not bother with setting any goals for its completion. Wow. What a mess. Imagine you want
to be a doctor when you grow up, but never thought you needed to take a science class in high school, or did not even plan on going to
college.
Goals motivate us.
Goals stimulate your creativity. You use one of the best creative words possible — you visualize. When you engage in visualization,
you are on the top step of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. You are fully engaged in critical thinking. Without goals, you will not achieve that
visualization.
Goals guide you.
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 3
Goals are set to lead you as you move from beginning to end. They carry you along your way.
Goals inspire you.
Goals help you to recognize that you are the creator of your own stories. You can achieve anything that you want to achieve with the
inspiration you will get from goal setting. You will take things one step at a time and with each step you feel the power of completion.
Goals challenge you.
If not for the challenge involved in accomplishing a goal, you would not get past the first step. Goals do not have to be extremely hard to
reach, and they should not be too simple either, as there is no challenge in that. You reach when you set goals. You want that object,
job, or future that.

Scenario:
You are an investigator for Child Protective Services in your community. One of the most difficult aspects of interviewing is the interview of a suspected victim of child sexual abuse. Often, the first interviewers are detectives or investigators from the police department with little or no training for interviewing child sexual abuse victims. The Commander of the Sex Crimes Unit would like to you to identify errors in interviewing by police investigators when questioning child sex crime victims about the circumstances during the alleged offense(s). The psychopathology of the suspect and the victim are very important, but the victim can be misled unintentionally by police resulting in false or inaccurate complaint information.
The Commander of the Sex Crimes Unit would like you to outline and explain the specific areas to be avoided when questioning a child as a sex crime victim.
Specifically, he is concerned with the following:
The use of suggestive questions
The implication of confirmation by other people
Use of positive and negative consequences
Repetitious questioning
Inviting speculation
In a 3–5-page paper, address the specific concerns, and explain why it is preferable to have the child interviewed by a person with the qualifications to potentially testify as an expert witness in subsequent criminal trials

Scenario:
You are a new patrol officer in a major metropolitan city in the center of the country. You have only been on patrol for about four weeks but notice that the officers with more time on the street have been making racially disparaging jokes about members of the poorer neighborhoods. What surprised you was the number of African-American and Hispanic officers who seemed to go along with the culture of racially biased comments. The community in which your precinct is located is crime-ridden and poor. It is largely African-American and Hispanic-American.
When you are on the street, you note that the tension between minority members of the community is very high and that it is even worse between minority officers and the minority community, who tend to view the minority officers as “race traitors.”
In addition, there are a number of combat veterans who have returned to the police department from Iraq and Afghanistan. These veterans have developed a prejudiced outlook towards the Muslim Community, which has a peaceful Mosque in the very center of the community.
Focus your discussion on the following:
Explain your viewpoint as to whether racism and religious bias are based on psychopathology of the officers or not.

Assignment DetailsScenario Generally, we have considered sexual.docxfaithxdunce63732
Assignment Details
Scenario: Generally, we have considered sexual harassment actions or verbal abuse of women to be done by men. Over the past several decades, the culture of society has evolved. The diversity of sex and gender has erupted from male abuses of females based on their biology. Now, there are gender reassignments which allow for persons with the psychological inclination to be the gender other than what they were born as being possible. Further, there are a number of transgender persons who, while retaining their biological configuration, adopt the psyche and outward appearance through dress and mannerisms of what is considered to be the traditional opposite gender of their physiology.
Recently, a newly assigned outwardly female officer was found out by her teammates in a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit to actually be a biological male. Several of the SWAT team members have come to you as the SWAT Command Leader and have voiced their concern because the transgender officer uses the ladies room, wears makeup, and dresses as a woman in her civilian attire at the end of the shift. The officers making the complaint are claiming that someone with a psychopathological problem should not be in the SWAT unit. You go to the Deputy Chief with their concerns and she tells you to prepare a briefing for the SWAT members concerning the requirements for SWAT team membership and that if an officer makes the grade, he or she has the opportunity to be a SWAT officer.
In a 3–5-page paper, you must explain to the officers, including those who complained as well as those who did not complain, that the department supports the assignment of the new officer and that according to law, she must be accepted as a valid member of the team so long as she is qualified. Further, explain that transphobia is not an acceptable attitude for members of the team and that any discriminatory action on the part of officers concerning the new officer would not be tolerated and would be met with appropriate disciplinary action.

Power’s on, Power’s Off!
How convenient is it to have electricity come right to your home? We use electricity for so many things: lighting, heating, cooling, entertainment, cleaning, food storage and preparation, and even for taking this class!
Generating electricity from any source creates varying levels of environmental damage, including ecosystem disruption, water contamination, or polluting gas emissions. If we reduce energy use, then we reduce these environmental impacts.
We make choices about our energy use based on how we feel about conservation, the environment, and convenience. Reflect on your energy use, and review the following resources:
Review the tips at this site for ideas to reduce energy use at home.
Review this site for power outage readiness.

When the power goes out, explain your biggest inconvenience. What do you manage to live without?
If the power is out for 3 days or more, what are your main concerns? What are the absolute essentials? How do you know food is safe?
Explain what the best back-up source for a power outage would be (for example, solar panels, a gas-powered generator, or even a power inverter for your car).
Include 1 benefit and 1 drawback. What is your back-up plan?

Develop cooperative relationships with clients when teaching concepts concerning pathological states to individuals and families
Select one of the case studies below, and include discussion of your strategy for winning the patients cooperation while teaching concepts concerning pathological states to them and their families.
Requirements
Make sure all of the topics in the case study have been addressed.
Cite at least three sources; journal articles, textbooks or evidenced-based websites to support the content.
All sources must be within five years.
Do not use .com, Wikipedia, or up-to-date, etc., for your sources.
Case Study 1
Concepts of Altered Health in Older Adults
Joseph P. is an 82-year-old male living at home. He is in overall good health and enjoys taking long walks as often as possible. During his walks, he likes to stop for a cold glass of fruit juice at the local cafeteria. On cold or rainy days, he rides a stationary bicycle at home for 30 minutes to “stay in good shape.”
What physiological factors would typically increase Joseph’s risk of falling while walking outdoors?
What are the common changes in blood pressure regulation that occurs with aging?
Joseph enjoys fruit juice when he walks. Considering the renal system in the older adult, why would dehydration be a particular concern?
Case Study 2
Structure and Function of the Kidney
Rivka is an active 21-year-old who decided to take a day off from her university classes. The weather was hot and the sun bright, so she decided to go down to the beach. When she arrived, she found a few people playing beach volleyball, and they asked if she wanted to join in. She put down her school bag and began to play. The others were well prepared for their day out and stopped throughout the game to have their power drinks and soda pop. Several hours after they began to play, however, Rivka was not feeling so good. She stopped sweating and was feeling dizzy. One player noted she had not taken a washroom break at all during the day. They found a shaded area for her, and one of the players shared his power drink with her. Rivka was thirstier than she realized and quickly finished the drink.
In pronounced dehydration, hypotension can occur. How would this affect the glomerular filtration rate of the kidney? What actions by the juxtaglomerular apparatus would occur to restore GFR?
What is the effect aldosterone has on the distal convoluted tubule? Why would the actions of aldosterone be useful to Rivka in her situation?
What does a specific gravity test measure? If someone tested the specific gravity of Rivka’s urine, what might it indicate?

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

I. Reading: Why Set Goals?
Why set goals? Having a clear direction for your future and a
picture of what you plan to do is
extremely important for maintaining a positive attitude. Having
clear goals is a key to creating and
maintaining a positive mindset even when “things get tough.”
Qualities of Goals
In order for goals to be useful, they need to have the following
2. qualities:
values and beliefs.
suggestions, but you must "own" your
goals for them to be useful.

Life Lesson: Chinese Proverb
Goal Setting and Planning
In this unit, you will be focusing on goal setting and planning.
In order to set realistic goals for yourself, you must first have a
clear
understanding of what is important to you.
You will also begin planning ahead for your Unit 8 project by
setting up an interview with a professional in your chosen field.
Goal Setting
In Unit 7 you investigate the power of setting goals. You seek
to recognize the importance of goal setting and actually apply
3. this
S.M.A.R.T. concept to your Unit 7 interview with completion
and submission of your project in Unit 8. Goal setting will
assist you and
motivate you to reach for success.
Why is Goal Setting Important?
Imagine you decide to build a house. You do not bother with
setting any goals for its completion. Wow. What a mess.
Imagine you want
to be a doctor when you grow up, but never thought you needed
to take a science class in high school, or did not even plan on
going to
college.
Goals motivate us.
Goals stimulate your creativity. You use one of the best creative
words possible — you visualize. When you engage in
visualization,
you are on the top step of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. You are
fully engaged in critical thinking. Without goals, you will not
achieve that
visualization.
Goals guide you.
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 3
Goals are set to lead you as you move from beginning to end.
They carry you along your way.
4. Goals inspire you.
Goals help you to recognize that you are the creator of your
own stories. You can achieve anything that you want to achieve
with the
inspiration you will get from goal setting. You will take things
one step at a time and with each step you feel the power of
completion.
Goals challenge you.
If not for the challenge involved in accomplishing a goal, you
would not get past the first step. Goals do not have to be
extremely hard to
reach, and they should not be too simple either, as there is no
challenge in that. You reach when you set goals. You want that
object,
job, or future that is just out of reach.
Goals empower you.
To empower others and yourself in positive ways is the greatest
accomplishment. To feel the inner strength and conviction of
empowerment as you achieve the goals that you set is a
rewarding experience — a truly intrinsic reward. Setting goals
brings you
closer and closer to your ultimate destination.
In this unit, you will focus on goal setting and planning.
Remember you want your goals to be realistic and achievable.
There are many
components of goal setting to consider as you begin to enhance
this process for your own growth and success.
What kind of goals can you set?
5. Let’s consider the different areas of life as suggested by
Mindtools.com in their Goal Setting Toolkit.
Artistic
Attitude
Career
Education
Family
Financial
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 4
Physical
Pleasure
Public Service
What are some of the questions you might ask yourself in
reference to these different areas? You might say you want to be
more
physically fit? You might say you want to go on vacation to
Disney World next summer? How about asking what you can do
to make the
world a better place? What do you want to be when you grow
up? How’s your attitude? Are you hungry for learning? Do you
want to
earn more money? You could go on and on setting goals in any
6. of these areas.
Therefore, you should choose to be goal setters. Why? How are
goal setters different than people who do not think about their
future
and their desires?
Goal Setters
Studies have shown that people who set goals for themselves are
more likely to:
• Suffer less stress and anxiety
• Concentrate and remember better
• Demonstrate greater self-confidence
• Perform better and achieve more
• Are happier and more satisfied
So now that you see a strong purpose for goal-setting with
results that help deliver balance, contentment and more desire
to “grow”
forward, take some time to write down, to brainstorm, what you
would like to see happen in the various compartments of your
life. Get
your thoughts flowing, what do you hope to accomplish in the
near future? How about in the distant future?
Relationship with Time
Most people have dreams and goals for various aspects of their
lives. You can have personal, educational, professional,
7. financial, and
community-service based goals.
The length of time you have to achieve your goals is important
in determining how you are able to approach them.
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 5
Short Term/Long Term Goals
Short-term goals are generally those that are attainable within a
short time (days, weeks, or months). Examples might be to lose
weight,
to get a new computer, or to ask for a promotion at your current
job. You need to plan how to attain these goals, but can see the
results
soon.
Long-term goals are those that may take years to complete.
Starting your own business or saving enough money for
retirement are
examples of long-term goals; to accomplish these, you need to
think and plan well ahead.
Your degree program is likely to fit in between those periods.
Although you are working on your degree now, you will be in
school for
several terms to learn the things you need for your career. Your
Kaplan University degree is an important stepping stone
towards your
long-term goals.
Being Realistic: Performance vs. Outcome
8. There are two basic kinds of goals, performance and outcome.
Outcome goals are those that concentrate on the end result: Did
you get
the job? Did you invent something new? Did you complete the
task?
Performance goals, on the other hand, concentrate on the path
leading you to the result. Even if you did not get the job, you
put your
resume together and practiced interviewing. Even if you did not
invent something new, you discovered small things that could
be put to
use later. Even if you did not complete the task, some of the
steps you took accomplished something of value. Performance
goals are
much more realistic than outcome goals and provide you with
more control.
Getting To Where You Want to Go
How can you get to where you want to go without knowing the
destination or how to get there? That would be like getting into
your car
and just driving without a purpose. If you do not know where
you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.
In order to learn, grow, and change, you need to set goals for
yourself. It is very important that your goals be realistic enough
for you to
achieve them.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals Help You Stay on Course
Every goal you plan, whether short, intermediate or long-term
should be S.M.A.R.T. It should be specific, measurable, action-
9. oriented,
realistic, and timed.
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 6
There are tips to setting goals that will enhance each goal you
set out to achieve. These Mindtools tips will surely help to
make your
S.M.A.R.T. goals come to fruition.
Set priorities
When you have several goals, give each a priority. This helps
you to avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many goals, and helps
to direct
your attention to the most important ones.
Write it down
When you write your goals down, it gives them more strength
and you more perseverance.
Keep operational goals small
Keep the low-level goals you are working toward small and
achievable. If a goal is too large, then it can seem that you are
not making
progress toward it. Keeping goals small and incremental gives
more opportunities for reward. Derive today’s goals from large
ones.
Set performance goals, not outcome goals
10. Take care to set goals over which you have as much control as
possible. There is nothing more disappointing than failing to
achieve a
goal for reasons beyond your control.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Click on a button below to learn more about S.M.A.R.T. goals.
S.M.A.R.T.
[S] Specific
What do you really want to accomplish? Your goal needs to be
specific enough to be able to determine what actions are
required to
achieve the desired result.
S.M.A.R.T.
[M] Measurable
How will you know you have reached your goal — what marker
or milestone will identify success? Remember that performance
goals
will provide better control than outcome goals, so it is best to
measure the steps along the route to your destination.
S.M.A.R.T.
[A] Action-oriented
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 7
What exactly will you do (what verbs can you use?) to reach
your goal? You will need to take a pro-active stance. Some
sources say
“A” stands for “Aggressive,” or working with purpose and
diligence towards your goal.
11. S.M.A.R.T.
[R] Realistic
A goal must be achievable. Have you researched it enough to
know that it is possible? Do you know someone else who has
accomplished this goal? Goals set too high may be
discouraging, but setting the bar too low will not provide
motivation.
S.M.A.R.T.
[T] Timed
Each goal must have some sort of deadline. Some flexibility
may be necessary, but deadlines help keep you motivated and
focused
towards completing your goals.
Five Principles of Goal Setting with help from Mindtools
Clarity — make your statements clear and easy to “see” and
understand.
Challenge — your goals should challenge you to succeed. They
are meant to be motivational. Are they important to you? How
badly
do you want to see that success?
Commitment — be committed to what you say you want and
what you want to achieve. Keep it in your mind’s eye. Move
consistently
toward its completion. Write down why this is a valuable goal
to you.
Feedback or Revision — it is important to monitor success
through all steps of
12. S.M.A.R.T. goals. There are points when changes to wording or
timing may be necessary. Understanding the value of revisiting
the
written word often helps to keep you on course.
Be sure to investigate and research further on goal setting and
especially on S.M.A.R.T. goals. You will find great information
on both
the Mindtools website and many others. Enjoy learning about
and practicing S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals as you continue with the
other
segments of Unit 7.

Networking
Networking is another stepping stone to taking control of your
goals for your future. Take a Web Fieldtrip to learn more about
building a
personal network.
Go to http://workbloom.com/networking-center.aspx and review
the home page as well as the links to Networking Basics and
Networking Tips.
Consider who the people are that you would want to have in
your own personal network. The person you chose for the
interview is very
likely to be someone who will join your network. Consider the
13. information you learn from this fieldtrip as you prepare to
interview with a
profession from your field.
II. Challenge Activity
S. M. A. R. T. goals are an excellent way to keep on track and
achieve success; however…
What happens when you actually one up the S. M. A. R. T.
goals and go for the even S. M. A. R. T. E. R. goals? This site
will enhance
your learning and application of creativity. Do not forget to
memorize the acronym and each of its letter meanings. Who can
you inspire
with your newfound knowledge?
http://www.achieve-goal-setting-success.com/smart-goal.html
Apply the learning tools and information to your goal setting.
The more frequently you use the strategy, the easier it will be to
use more
frequently. Continue to make connections as you move from
unit to unit. Search for the strategies that you find most helpful
to your
learning and thinking processes. Begin to use them over and
over because through repetition you establish habits of success.
Do not
forget, you may always share your thoughts in Virtual Office or
Discussion Board.
III. Powerful Words for a POWERFUL Vocabulary – 7 words in
7 Days
14. Effective communication is not only an essential academic
strategy; it is fast becoming one of the top skills employers are
looking for as
they screen potential employees. However, how do you become
an effective communicator? The answer to this question is
actually
quite simple, yet it involves some serious commitment on your
part. You have to practice and make a firm commitment to
equipping
yourself with the many different “tools” that you will need in
order to express your ideas clearly and effectively in both
written and
spoken communication. This is where a powerful vocabulary
can make a world of difference for you because words are the
building
blocks of communication. Therefore, the more words you are
able to use, the more creative, convincing and powerful you will
be as a
CS113 Unit 7 Reading page 9
communicator. What if you could add just one new word to your
vocabulary each day? Think about the progress you would make
in a
week, a month, or even an entire year.
