Final Research Paper
Research the responsibility of a critical thinker in a
contemporary society. You may choose any topic that deals with
a contemporary social concern. Examine the principles of
critical thought in relation to the chosen societal concern, and
consider the importance of ethics, moral reasoning, a research-
based process to search for truth, and the advantages of
information technology in gathering data.
Potential social concerns include, but are not limited to health
(e.g., obesity, smoking, or underage drinking), poverty (e.g.,
homelessness, basic needs, or transportation issues), family
relations and dynamics (e.g., teen violence, physical abuse,
depression, or suicide), social media (e.g., privacy),
immigration (e.g., illegal), and education (e.g., plagiarism
and/or cheating).

1. What are the various theories that we use to explain why people commit crimes? How are they broadly categorized? Solution In criminology, examining why people commit crime is very important in the ongoing debate of how crime should be handled and prevented. Many theories have emerged over the years, and they continue to be explored, individually and in combination, as criminologists seek the best solutions in ultimately reducing types and levels of crime. Here is a broad overview of some key theories: Rational choice theory: People generally act in their self-interest and make decisions to commit crime after weighing the potential risks (including getting caught and punished) against the rewards. Social disorganization theory: A personâ€™s physical and social environments are primarily responsible for the behavioral choices that person makes. In particular, a neighborhood that has fraying social structures is more likely to have high crime rates. Such a neighborhood may have poor schools, vacant and vandalized buildings, high unemployment, and a mix of commercial and residential property. Strain theory: Most people have similar aspirations, but they donâ€™t all have the same opportunities or abilities. When people fail to achieve societyâ€™s expectations through approved means such as hard work and delayed gratification, they may attempt to achieve success through crime. Social learning theory: People develop motivation to commit crime and the skills to commit crime through the people they associate with. Social control theory: Most people would commit crime if not for the controls that society places on individuals through institutions such as schools, workplaces, churches, and families. Labeling theory: People in power decide what acts are crimes, and the act of labeling someone a criminal is what makes him a criminal. Once a person is labeled a criminal, society takes away his opportunities, which may ultimately lead to more criminal behavior. Biology, genetics, and evolution: Poor diet, mental illness, bad brain chemistry, and even evolutionary rewards for aggressive criminal conduct have been proposed as explanations for crime. .

Top of Form Presentation Research in the Social Sciences Social science, including academic subjects such as criminal justice and homeland security, focuses on studying human interaction between individuals, groups, or societies. Social science is about questioning the world around you by examining cultures, societies, economies, politics, behaviors, and any assortment of social interaction. This range in scope is emphasized by a number of academic disciplines such as anthropology, political science, and sociology. Researchers within social science fields consider how individual or group actions impact their society. Compare, for a moment, social sciences to the physical sciences such as physics or biology. In studying physics, one can grasp how an aircraft can stay in the air. A physicist recognizes the physical forces that impact the aircraft’s flight and can predict what impact these elements will have on the aircraft's continued operation. In understanding the science behind flight, physicists can also estimate or predict what conditions will negatively impact a journey. The aircraft’s design, improvements, and success are all founded on proven mathematical principles. There are also mechanical principles that determine how it must be maintained, fueled, and operated. There are engineering designs with elements that can be measured, tested, and proven reliable. With the knowledge and information these hard sciences provide, practitioners and researchers alike can make better predictions about what designs, models, or activities will be successful. Meanwhile, society has no rules to explain why things may or may not happen. All who are a part of a society represent living, dynamic organisms. There is form and function in a society to a degree, yet the whole can theoretically be impacted by any single element. Societies and social relationships maintain customs, accepted norms, traditions, economic exchanges, and communications within various social constructs. Social sciences examine countless activities occurring in an ever-changing environment. By extension, factors that impact an individual’s response to phenomena may be infinite. For example, in studying homeland security, you might consider the elements of prevention, preparation, mitigation, and response in regard to natural disasters. Researchers consider why individuals choose not to evacuate in advance of a known and deadly hurricane. In asking people about their reasons, researchers select individuals who refused to evacuate before a hurricane arrived. In doing so, they might find that there are dozens of possible answers or combinations of answers. Potential answers such as the following are among the answers a survey might reveal: · Having no transportation · Fearing their homes will be looted · Believing the storm’s intensity was exaggerated · Not comprehending what a hurricane can potentially do to them · Dealing with many storms in the past · Unwilling to leave pets or li ...

Final Written Art Project (500 words) carefully and creatively written words and sentences. Artist Statement (250 words) WRITTEN ART PROJECT Create a disjunctive or non-narrative piece that engages all three aspects of reality that we have been discussing throughout the quarter: 1) larger political, social, and economic realities 2) personal or human dramatic situation and 3) detritus of existence. Make sure each of these are well represented and that they do not merely serve as a backdrop or props for other parts of your piece. In other words, make sure each of these aspects of reality is given its due as determining of your or others reality. Possible Strategies and Advice: Switch between first and third person perspectives. Make use of actual seeings—what you see. Describe and only occasionally explain or meditate. Meditate a great deal but be sure you are specific . Enact and don’t preach. Create a concept (a title for your piece) that gives the reader a sense of the intent of your work. This concept should serve to suggest complementary or conflictual relations between the different parts of your piece. Ultimately in placing all your parts together, in proximity to one another, you want the “whole” to be greater than the sum of the parts. ARTIST STATEMENT Please describe the intent of your piece and how you think its disjunctive form allows you to create a sense of reality that you wish to create. Please consider key words and concepts from the module syllabus as well as the ideas that have emerged from course discussions and thought challenges. You might also find these artist’s statements of use: Chekov Remove everything that has no relevance to the story.

Final Project The Final Project should demonstrate an understanding of the reading assignments, class discussions, your own research and the application of new knowledge. It should utilize previous skills developed in foundational health care courses and apply them within the context and viewpoint of a health care administrator and their role in managing health and human services. For the Final Project, select one of the following topics and conduct scholarly and professional research while integrating the course’s learning outcomes to address a selected topic: Research specific leadership and management traits and theories necessary for managing a multidisciplinary and multicultural health care organization to promote organizational effectiveness. Present how strategic planning, performance improvement, and information systems are interrelated and fundamental to the delivery of quality health care. Examine the financial characteristics of health care delivery along with managing costs, revenues, and human resources. Analyze ethical and legal concepts, including specific federal regulations, required of health care organizations to ensure the delivery of high quality health care that protects patient safety. Research Requirements Academic research and papers must meet certain standards of quality that are recognized by the academic community. What constitutes quality academic research? The use of primary (original), credible sources written by experts in the field of study. Ensuring secondary sources are supported by research in primary sources. Making sure all research is relevant and that material used is pertinent to the area of study. In graduate work, the use of peer-reviewed journal articles (journal articles reviewed by recognized experts in the relevant field of study) is required. Keep in mind that educational websites may be appropriate, in some cases, but should be evaluated carefully. The Ashford University Library offers many excellent databases and other resources to assist you in conducting scholarly research. What sources are not acceptable for academic research and referencing? Encyclopedias Dictionaries Wikipedia, other wikis, or blogs Websites and other sources that do not provide quality researched materials (e.g., they do not use credible sources to support the information in the document). All research must reflect professional academic protocol and must be documented according to APA standards as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Creating the Final Project You may choose to present your research is the form of an eight- to ten-page research paper (excluding title and reference pages) or a comprehensive 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation (excluding title and reference slides) with detailed speaker notes. In either case, the content of the assignment must include each of the elements listed below: Introduction Describe the issue. Include why it was selected, the perspective of your appr.

Final Project Now it's your turn! Below is all the information given on a training program needed, called Effective Communication. You are a trainer in the given situation. Please submit the following: Training Needs Assessment (refer to previous assignment DST Systems for assessment template) Powerpoint covering information provided and your own research, no less than 10 slides 2-page paper summarizing how this training will be effective and how it should be evaluated. Situation: Tim Smith the IT manager comes to you and says "My project coordinators are in a slump; they just are not producing their usual caliber of work. I need to find out what the problem is. No one on the project team knows what is going on. The communcation my project coordinators are giving is coming across as rude, which in turn keeps moral low and the teams are not doing the work. I was hoping you would be able to put together an Effective Communication training for them to help get everyone back on the right track." There are 10 project coordinators in the IT department. Two of the project coordinator's are in the organization's Bangkok office. Tim wants the training to last no longer than 4 hours and wants it to be face to face in a class room with you, the trainer. He does not want to fly the Bangkok assoicates in and would like you to set up a Skype session with them during your training. He also wants you to set up weekly coaching sessions with each project manager and himself for a month after the training is completed. Training Purchased from USA Training: Effective Communication You are to use this information, but are not limited to it. Tim wants to make sure this information is covered in the training as he went online and bought it from USA Training, however he is open to what research you find. He wants the training to be interactive and requested that you included at least 1 activity around communication in the training. Effective Communcation: Introduction People in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communications. Effective communication is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, inter-group, intra-group, organizational, or external levels. In this chapter we will cover the basic process of communication and then we will cover some of the most difficult communication issues managers’ face-providing constructive and effective feedback and performance appraisal. The Communication Process Although all of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual (or group) to another is a very complex process with many sources of potential error. In any communication at least some of the "meaning" lost in simple transmission of a message from the sender to the receiver. In many situations a lot of the .
