2 -Dominant and Subordinate Group Membership
This week you are exploring what it means to have privilege in all aspects of life, whether it be that you are able to enroll in school and take this course, or that you are able to walk, type, see, taste, or purchase/have access to groceries. Having privilege also means that you have power of some sort. Even having access to goods and services can be seen as a privilege. Discrimination can accompany power and privilege as those who have power and privilege may not be consciously aware of how they benefit from it.
Instructions:
First, Chapter 4 of The Ecology of Diversity (Kahn, 2015) has a “Reflections on Diversity” section near the end entitled, “Membership in Dominant and Subordinate Groups.” Follow the instructions provided in the chapter and complete the chart considering who are you are and what relationships you have with each type of group.
Second, write at least three paragraphs (300 words) addressing the following questions:
1. How has privilege, in any/all forms, shaped your life? Consider race, socioeconomic status, education, and other associations identified in Week 1.
2. Have you been aware of the privileges in your life as you were growing up? Why or why not?
3. As you learn more about privilege, and as you examine your life, what do you find most interesting or surprising?
4. How has privilege shaped your life opportunities, life chances, experiences, etc.?
Post your discussion by Day 3 of the week.

Boards 1-2-3
Create a response to each thread of at least 400 words, and support your assertions with a minimum of 2 citations in current APA format.
Thread #1:
Christianity was a key driving force in the development of universities in Colonial America. The British settlers placed a high value on education, and are credited with the creation of institutions for higher education in America. Many of today’s public universities were started by religious denominations. Harvard, Yale, and Princeton were founded by Congregationalists and Puritans between 1636 – 1702. Yale was started by a clergyman and Princeton’s first year of class was taught by Reverend Jonathan Dickinson. Princeton’s crest still says, ‘Del sub numine viget’ which is Latin for ‘Under God she flourishes’ which presents a present day conundrum – “How did our oldest and most prestigious universities become so far removed from their religious and biblical heritage?”
Regarding religious freedom on college and university campuses today, educational leaders across the academic continuum are best served by learning to think critically when addressing issues such as; Do Institutions of higher learning have a part to play in supporting students' religion and spirituality? If so, how can campuses nourish these aspects of students’ lives without undermining such core values as diversity and religious freedom? Please share your views regarding the current state of religious tolerance on campuses today, and more specifically, weather institutions should even be taking a position on this topic.
Thread #2:
Governance in higher education has been defined as the structure and processes of complex decision-making. In today’s business environment, many institutions of higher learning are attempting to redefine and update their approaches to governance. Describe today’s university or college’s governance culture and some of the organizational constraints they typically operate under.
Thread #3:
Effectively leading an organization is the daily challenge of every administrator. When questioned about the differences between leadership and management, many in the field of academia will shy away from separating the two. This is because organizational effectiveness is dependent upon both capabilities in its administrators. Discuss your concept of a successful leader/administrator.

Individual Rights and the Obligations of GovernmentPrepare Prio.docx
Individual Rights and the Obligations of Government
Prepare:
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 8, 9, and 10 in
American Government
and watch the video,
Episode II - It’s a Free Country
.
Reflect:
Our political system is characterized by certain fundamental features to include a system of laws, rights, and liberties. The laws, created and supported by the Constitutional framework, are designed to protect and secure the rights and liberties of individuals and groups throughout the U.S. However, the government also has an obligation to provide for the security of its citizens from serious internal and external threats that could cause grave or severe damage to our country. The need for homeland and national security can create a dilemma where conflicts emerge between these security needs and the demands for civil rights and liberties.
Write:
In your initial post, explain what obligations the U.S. government has towards its citizens and how can these obligations impact individual and group rights? Provide real-world examples to support your explanation. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial response must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations to two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.
Respond to Peers:
By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer responses should be 75 to 100 words each. As your reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to analyze things in as much detail as you can. For instance, you might consider if your classmate’s arguments are well supported with valid sources and logically argued.
Week Four Reflection
Prepare:
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 8, 9, and 10 in
American Government
, watch the video,
Episode II - It’s a Free Country
, and review your results from the Political Typology Quiz.
Reflect:
Political parties mobilize voters to win elections and implement policy goals. Parties use their stated policy goals (i.e., their platforms) as a way to mobilize voter support. Generally, in order to be successful in a two-party system, parties must have policy goals across a broad range of issue areas to appeal to a broad range of voters.
Write:

What Can One Person Do Secondary Research Project Y.docx
What Can One Person Do?
Secondary Research Project
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a shareable educational
resource about a particular structural inequality. In it, you will 1) describe the structural
inequality and 2) recommend at least 1 specific action people can take to help disrupt,
dismantle, or otherwise work against that structure. There are 3 major components to this
project: the resource itself, a 2-3 page reflection piece, and a Works Cited. Instructions
for each can be found below.
In doing this assignment, you’ll get the chance to:
• Synthesize information and ideas you’ve come across in the
readings, conversations, and assignments.
• Reflect on how education can be a crucial component of being an
active, engaged member of your community and of society as a
whole.
• Produce a concrete resource that you can put out into the world
about your topic.
Educational Resource Instructions
For the resource itself, I’m giving you a fair amount of freedom. You have to create an
educational resource, but the exact form it takes is really up to you. Some options people
have done in the past:
• Write an editorial/article about your topic that could be submitted
to a newspaper or other periodical. (You don’t have to actually
submit it.)
• Create a brochure about your topic that can be printed and
distributed.
• Create a short zine about your topic that can be printed and
distributed.
• Produce a short podcast or video about your topic.
• Create a blog post (with links for more info) about your topic.
• Create a website about your topic.
• Create an educational board game or video game about your topic.
• Something else that you come up with (and get approved by me)
While you have a lot of freedom for the form of the project, there are certain criteria that
all projects must meet. To get full credit your resource must:
• Be targeted towards a particular audience (likely a particular
group of stakeholders for the issue)—Think about whom you want
to reach. Who is likely to care about the issue if they learned about
it? Who might be willing and able to take action?
o Your target audience should influence the form and
language of the project. For example, you probably
wouldn’t create a video game if your target audience is
Idaho congresspeople (or maybe you would?).
• Contain the following components
1. A short background on the situation. Explain what is going
on, how it’s unequal, and why we should care about it.
2. A description of the communities that are most impacted by
the issue and how they are impacted. This is related to the
previous component; one way to make people care about an
issue is to show them the harm it is causing to a particular
group of people.
3. A description of at least 1 important cultural story or belief
that helps sustain the conditions of inequality. As Schwalbe
argues in Ch. 4—Arresting the Imagination, cul.

Assignment 2: Course Reflection
During the past few modules, you completed various assignments that were designed to enhance your overall knowledge about the business of organized crime. In
Module 1
, you applied different theories to explain the criminal behavior of organized crime groups.
Subsequent assignments afforded you an opportunity to discuss the business interests of organized crime groups and also identify the types of domestic groups that exist in the United States. You learned how organized crime groups affect both political and law enforcement groups. Moreover, you were placed in situations in which you had to apply what you were learning about organized crime.
Now that you have taken an in-depth look at organized crime, by
Week 5, Day 4
, in a minimum of 250 words, post to the
Discussion Area
how your views of organized crime may have changed. Include responses to the following:
Discuss your thoughts prior to completing the assignments in the course.
Discuss at least three specific points of knowledge you have gained and explain why these are important to you. Also, ponder these questions:
Why does the media influence the way people view organized crime?
Why are people unaware of the existence of organized crime groups in the United States?
Is the use of theory useful in explaining the behaviors of members of organized crime groups? Explain.
What are your views on whether domestic organized crime groups present a bigger threat to society than groups operating outside the United States?
Discuss at least two specific ideas or points of view you gained from your classmates, via the discussion postings that you had not previously considered.

Some organizations treat multicultural communications as an aftertho.docx
Some organizations treat multicultural communications as an afterthought, while many more see it as an essential component of all their efforts. For example, a bilingual product guide may provide less information in the secondary language. A candidate for public office may publish a Latino voter's guide several weeks after the English one. Public school systems, on the other hand, are proactive in identifying the various languages students and their families speak. Schools make all communications multilingual and provide special teaching materials for students who may not be proficient in the dominant language. Organizations and governments in the United States are adapting holiday schedules, and adding flexibility to leave policies and work hours to accommodate cultural and religious holidays other than the traditional Christian ones celebrated for many years. This Discussion focuses on the actions and choices the subject organizations made.
To prepare:
From your Weekly News Review, select a situation or product that required multicultural communications.
Discuss:
In a Discussion post, write a response to the following questions:
What special considerations do you believe the organization had to take into account in this situation?
How would you make sure to avoid stereotyping or personal prejudices in this or a similar situation?
What would you change if you had to deal with this situation or product in a culture different from your own? Be as specific as possible.

The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another.docx
The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another. This passage speaks to the design God has for relationships here on earth. Specifically, the journey to achieve a doctoral degree should not be conducted alone (Lehna, Hermanns, Monsivias, & Engebretson, 2016). Doctoral work stretches learning and experiences to their breaking point. The break is intended for the boxes and walls built in the current knowledge and beliefs one holds to give way to new ideas and expressions. These ideas and expressions aid in new solutions, or reframing established solutions for modern audiences to complex social problems. As such, the journey to dive deep into a field requiring command and application of the vast knowledge contained will need partnerships such as mentors (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
Finding a mentor and having a solid match
Empirical studies conclude mentor relationships improve a student’s ability to learn and retain knowledge and skill in many environments (Asgari & Carter, 2016). Mentor/mentee studies of minority scholars find increases in academic and career-related achievements for more than 97% of participants. These participants moved two letter grades and increased career positions over those without mentor relationships (Ooms, Werker, & Hopp, 2018; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016).
The critical characteristic of successful mentor/mentee relationships is correlated to the compatibility of the pair or group (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016). The focus of study and career should be considered as a parallel point in a choice of mentor. Mentee's would lose time, trust, and loyalty to their mentor if they chose someone that does not have a specific strength in the field of focus. Nurses experience higher rates of job satisfaction based on matching higher skilled nurses with novice staff (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
It appears an application of iron sharpening iron can be applied from what the above empirical data shows. The Bible does not say that iron sharpens copper. As such, experienced and knowledgeable nurses will hone novice nurses. Leaders with more years and experiences will instill the organizational knowledge to mentees. Iron is compatible with iron. Strategic leader students should then find mentors that are established and knowledgeable leaders to learn from.
The right mentor
In social work practices, it is necessary to find a mentor that has an expanse of knowledge and experience. This need for relevant education and experience is especially real in child/adult protection leadership. It is ever changing and evolving. A mentor that has twenty to thirty years of experience is difficult to find in North Carolina. I am blessed to have a mentor with more than th.
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back al.docx
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back almost 100,000 years, and the idea of ancestor veneration has persisted for millennia. The way that a living community responds to death reveals much about their sense of identity and particularly the group’s religious and spiritual traditions. Choose a culture/region from the list below and include in your paper responses to both of the following questions:
Mesopotamians keeping ancestral skulls on display in the home
Indians burning the funeral pyre on the River Ganges
Asians modifying the bones of the dead during “secondary burials”
Romans arranging the deceased in visible underground catacombs
Medieval Eastern Europeans preventing vampires or other revenants
How do burial rituals build identity and strengthen the sense of community for the living?
What factors have shaped these customs and values—religious, political, geographical, etc.?
Fully develop your findings in a 2-3 page paper, and be sure to format your paper and cite your research sources as per APA guidelines.

. I wanted to use more than one site to highlight how his symptoms affected him. When I went to the Beyond Madness site and looked at OCD I was surprised at how many people were suspected of having OCD like Charles Darwin and Ludwig Van Beethoven. When you think of the systematic way in which Darwin organized his notes for the
Origin of Species
one can see that the skills needed for such specific a book would require a person who would be able to give a systematic outline for what they were observing. What I knew about Justin Timberlake prior to this assignment was limited to his work as a performer. He says that his OCD affects many parts of his daily life. OCD is made up of compulsions and obsessions. Both need not be present for a diagnosis to be reached. A person can have obsessions without compulsions. His obsessions include that everything around him be lined up. He also can only have specific foods in his fridge and of course, they must be in a specific place. This did cause problems with his girlfriend Jessica Alba when she moved in and had to work with Justin on this issue. Justin cites that he loves to perform and that in spite of his OCD and ADD he is still able to perform. There is something very stimulating about being on stage so that stimulation may be the boost he needs.It's helpful for persons with ADD not to be distracted by details but rather able to concentrate on their own activities. Justin's description does mirror muc.

The

serve to reinforce a view that such ethical codes are all that are necessary to protect vulnerable research participants. However, these codes also require thoughtful moral interpretation. In the context of time (1932) and place (Macon County, Alabama), do you believe that moral interpretation of the ethical principles of both of these documents would have influenced Nurse Rivers’ role in the Tuskegee

THE BENEDICTINES
Benedictine order: intro
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
About 70 years after the fall of Rome, one finds Benedict of Nursia .
He was born around 480 ce and died about 547.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
You know that the Desert Fathers and Mothers have been around since the 200’s…
… so the idea of Christian men and women living in prayer and solitude is already centuries old
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
A monk named Pachomius is credited with the idea of those Desert Hermits…
…forming into groups and living in community.
So by the time of St Benedict, the idea was a familiar one.
Benedict really made it work, though. He had a lot of common sense, so his ideas about how to live in communities lasted!
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
His first abbey was founded in Italy in 529.
By 708, there were also Benedictine monasteries in France!
The following slide shows the monastery of Mont Saint Michel.

One of the main “purposes” or “gifts” or “charisms” of the Benedictine Monastery was HOSPITALITY.
Sometimes Benedictine monasteries even served as hospitals or medical centers (“such as they were”) in medieval times.
Imagine wandering on foot, cold and hungry, and exhausted, with no Motels in existence…and then seeing ahead of you..
…all lit up of course with candles and fire-places, instead of gas….
Mont Saint Michel at night from land bridge; 20 09 2006 Benh LIEU SONG Wikipedia
What a comfort that would be!
They would take you in…and you could spend the night (HOSPITALITY) and feed you…
..and they had herbs and salves to give you, if you were feeling ill or had blisters.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
In the 900’’s, another French abbey, at Cluny, was founded.
In the 1100’s, it was consecrated by the Pope and had become very powerful.

The Southeast Planning Group (SPG) is an organization that was created in 2000 to facilitate the Office of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Continuum of Care planning process (Laufer, 2011). The change that took place was Stakeholders were split in their views of the changes—some agreed that they were necessary in order to advance the goals of the organization, while others felt the new leadership was “taking over” with a hidden agenda to promote its own self-interest (Laufer, 2011). It seemed at first the Southeast Planning group was effective at the beginning. What lacked was the lack of confidence in growing the organization. A strategy that might improve the organizational climate return the organization to optimal functioning is for the director to have more confidence in the program. In addition having a leadership style that is more open to change and be able to communicate without feeling afraid of what is to come next. A leader must also pay attention to recruiting and retaining employees (Northouse,2021).

THE BELMONT REPORT
Office of the Secretary
Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human
Subjects of Research
The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of
Biomedical and Behavioral Research
April 18, 1979
AGENCY: Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
ACTION: Notice of Report for Public Comment.
SUMMARY: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, there-by creating the
National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the
charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical
and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that
such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. In carrying out the above, the Commission was
directed to consider: (i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine
practice of medicine, (ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of
research involving human subjects, (iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in
such research and (iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings.
The Belmont Report attempts to summarize the basic ethical principles identified by the Commission in the course of
its deliberations. It is the outgrowth of an intensive four-day period of discussions that were held in February 1976 at
the Smithsonian Institution's Belmont Conference Center supplemented by the monthly deliberations of the
Commission that were held over a period of nearly four years. It is a statement of basic ethical principles and
guidelines that should assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround the conduct of research with human
subjects. By publishing the Report in the Federal Register, and providing reprints upon request, the Secretary intends
that it may be made readily available to scientists, members of Institutional Review Boards, and Federal employees.
The two-volume Appendix, containing the lengthy reports of experts and specialists who assisted the Commission in
fulfilling this part of its charge, is available as DHEW Publication No. (OS) 78-0013 and No. (OS) 78-0014, for sale by
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Unlike most other reports of the Commission, the Belmont Report does not make specific recommendations for
administrative action by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Rather, the Commission recommended that
the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety, as a statement of the Department's policy. The Department requests
public comment on this recommendation.

The Benefits and Risks of Using Skype at Darcy’s .docx
The Benefits and Risks of
Using Skype at Darcy’s:
A Short Report
September 20, 2013
Prepared for:
Darcy’s Department Store
Prepared by:
Student Name
BUS105
2
Background
The East Coast buyers for Darcy’s Department Store are looking for an economical and
efficient way to share information about the deals buyers are getting from various
suppliers and use real-time transmission of that information between one another to
help save money.
There are a number of tools to do this, but Skype has been mentioned as a leading
contender. Skype claims to be an easy to use, online tool that allows users to connect
with any other Skype user around the world for free. A user can make video and voice
calls to other Skype users at no charge. Users can even share files among themselves,
which provides a great asset during a business meeting. However, when there are group
video calls, then Skype begins to charge a fee.
Also, for buyers throughout the East Coast, this tool can be useful if they need to talk
with one another. However, for meetings that require more than two attendees, Skype
is not a useful tool and is not intended to work that way for business.
Benefits
Among the most attractive benefits of Skype is that it is free and you can see the person
you are talking with. To purchase a software license for 20 buyers that is compatible to
what Skype can do will cost Darcy’s roughly $1,500 per month. There are no hidden
charges with Skype. According to Skype’s web page, users get video and voice calls to
other Skype users and “instant messaging and file sharing” all at no charge.
The video sharing feature of Skype will allow the buyers to see products in real time.
For example, if two buyers are looking at similar merchandise from two different
suppliers who are offering different pricing, then they can quickly Skype one another
and compare the product to see if it is the same and to then get the best pricing for it.
Two business writers for the Auburn Citizen in NY, state that there are business users
“who can save time and money in scheduling and holding conferences or training
sessions, demonstrate products or services for potential customers, and extend
customer service by showing customers how to get the most from your product” (Leon
and Leon).
Downsides
Despite the benefits mentioned above, there are clear downsides to this product. I
tested Skype over a one-week period by calling various Skype users throughout the East
Coast and tried to simulate a conversation that a buyer might have.
First, using Skype takes getting used to. During my five-day test, I never mastered the
connection stage. This is when one Skype user “calls” another Skype user. Skype makes
3
a distinctive sound that lets the user know it is making a call. However, once you
connect to whom you are calling, the picture shows, but it takes abo.

The Process of Infection
Disease-causing agents called pathogens are found in air and food and on nearly every object or person.
An epidemic is a disease outbreak that affects many people in a community or region at the same time.
A pandemic is a global epidemic of a disease.
When a pathogen is virulent, it is strong enough to overcome host resistance and cause disease.
One becomes immunocompromised when the immune system is impaired.
Copyright © 2019, 2017, 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
2
Routes of Transmission
Direct contact: kissing or touching an infected person
Indirect contact: touching something that the infected person has touched
You may also autoinoculate yourself by transmitting a pathogen from one part of your body to another.
Animal-borne (zoonotic) infections are spread by domestic and wild animals.
Interspecies transmission is rare but does occur.

Habit versus Addiction
Addiction involves elements of habit – which is a repeated behavior in which the repetition may be unconscious.
A habit can be broken.
Addiction involves repetition of a behavior that occurs with compulsion, and considerable discomfort occurs if the behavior is not performed.

Addiction Affects Family and Friends
Codependence: a condition in which a person is controlled by an addict's addictive behavior
Defined by lack of ability to set boundaries
Living in a chaotic, crisis-oriented mode
Assuming responsibility for meeting others' needs to the point of subordinating own needs or even being unaware of personal needs
Enablers: people who knowingly or unknowingly protect addicts from the consequences of their behavior

Addictive Behaviors
Drug chemicals are not the only source of addiction. People can become addicted to certain behaviors.
Process addictions are behaviors known to be addictive because they are mood altering.
Gambling, compulsive buying, compulsive exercise, and compulsive Internet or technology use are all process addictions.

The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another.docx
The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another. This passage speaks to the design God has for relationships here on earth. Specifically, the journey to achieve a doctoral degree should not be conducted alone (Lehna, Hermanns, Monsivias, & Engebretson, 2016). Doctoral work stretches learning and experiences to their breaking point. The break is intended for the boxes and walls built in the current knowledge and beliefs one holds to give way to new ideas and expressions. These ideas and expressions aid in new solutions, or reframing established solutions for modern audiences to complex social problems. As such, the journey to dive deep into a field requiring command and application of the vast knowledge contained will need partnerships such as mentors (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
Finding a mentor and having a solid match
Empirical studies conclude mentor relationships improve a student’s ability to learn and retain knowledge and skill in many environments (Asgari & Carter, 2016). Mentor/mentee studies of minority scholars find increases in academic and career-related achievements for more than 97% of participants. These participants moved two letter grades and increased career positions over those without mentor relationships (Ooms, Werker, & Hopp, 2018; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016).
The critical characteristic of successful mentor/mentee relationships is correlated to the compatibility of the pair or group (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016). The focus of study and career should be considered as a parallel point in a choice of mentor. Mentee's would lose time, trust, and loyalty to their mentor if they chose someone that does not have a specific strength in the field of focus. Nurses experience higher rates of job satisfaction based on matching higher skilled nurses with novice staff (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
It appears an application of iron sharpening iron can be applied from what the above empirical data shows. The Bible does not say that iron sharpens copper. As such, experienced and knowledgeable nurses will hone novice nurses. Leaders with more years and experiences will instill the organizational knowledge to mentees. Iron is compatible with iron. Strategic leader students should then find mentors that are established and knowledgeable leaders to learn from.
The right mentor
In social work practices, it is necessary to find a mentor that has an expanse of knowledge and experience. This need for relevant education and experience is especially real in child/adult protection leadership. It is ever changing and evolving. A mentor that has twenty to thirty years of experience is difficult to find in North Carolina. I am blessed to have a mentor with more than th.

The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back almost 100,000 years, and the idea of ancestor veneration has persisted for millennia. The way that a living community responds to death reveals much about their sense of identity and particularly the group’s religious and spiritual traditions. Choose a culture/region from the list below and include in your paper responses to both of the following questions:
Mesopotamians keeping ancestral skulls on display in the home
Indians burning the funeral pyre on the River Ganges
Asians modifying the bones of the dead during “secondary burials”

. I wanted to use more than one site to highlight how his symptoms affected him. When I went to the Beyond Madness site and looked at OCD I was surprised at how many people were suspected of having OCD like Charles Darwin and Ludwig Van Beethoven. When you think of the systematic way in which Darwin organized his notes for the
Origin of Species
one can see that the skills needed for such specific a book would require a person who would be able to give a systematic outline for what they were observing. What I knew about Justin Timberlake prior to this assignment was limited to his work as a performer. He says that his OCD affects many parts of his daily life. OCD is made up of compulsions and obsessions. Both need not be present for a diagnosis to be reached. A person can have obsessions without compulsions. His obsessions include that everything around him be lined up. He also can only have specific foods in his fridge and of course, they must be in a specific place. This did cause problems with his girlfriend Jessica Alba when she moved in and had to work with Justin on this issue. Justin cites that he loves to perform and that in spite of his OCD and ADD he is still able to perform. There is something very stimulating about being on stage so that stimulation may be the boost he needs.It's helpful for persons with ADD not to be distracted by details but rather able to concentrate on their own activities. Justin's description does mirror muc.

About 70 years after the fall of Rome, one finds Benedict of Nursia .
He was born around 480 ce and died about 547.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
You know that the Desert Fathers and Mothers have been around since the 200’s…
… so the idea of Christian men and women living in prayer and solitude is already centuries old
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
A monk named Pachomius is credited with the idea of those Desert Hermits…
…forming into groups and living in community.
So by the time of St Benedict, the idea was a familiar one.
Benedict really made it work, though. He had a lot of common sense, so his ideas about how to live in communities lasted!
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
His first abbey was founded in Italy in 529.
By 708, there were also Benedictine monasteries in France!

One of the main “purposes” or “gifts” or “charisms” of the Benedictine Monastery was HOSPITALITY.
Sometimes Benedictine monasteries even served as hospitals or medical centers (“such as they were”) in medieval times.
Imagine wandering on foot, cold and hungry, and exhausted, with no Motels in existence…and then seeing ahead of you..
…all lit up of course with candles and fire-places, instead of gas….

What a comfort that would be!
They would take you in…and you could spend the night (HOSPITALITY) and feed you…
..and they had herbs and salves to give you, if you were feeling ill or had blisters.

In the 900’’s, another French abbey, at Cluny, was founded.

The change that took place was Stakeholders were split in their views of the changes—some agreed that they were necessary in order to advance the goals of the organization, while others felt the new leadership was “taking over” with a hidden agenda to promote its own self-interest (Laufer, 2011). It seemed at first the Southeast Planning group was effective at the beginning. What lacked was the lack of confidence in growing the organization. A strategy that might improve the organizational climate return the organization to optimal functioning is for the director to have more confidence in the program. In addition having a leadership style that is more open to change and be able to communicate without feeling afraid of what is to come next. A leader must also pay attention to recruiting and retaining employees (Northouse,2021).

THE BELMONT REPORT
Office of the Secretary
Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human
Subjects of Research
The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of
Biomedical and Behavioral Research
April 18, 1979
AGENCY: Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
ACTION: Notice of Report for Public Comment.
SUMMARY: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, there-by creating the
National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the
charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical
and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that
such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. In carrying out the above, the Commission was
directed to consider: (i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine
practice of medicine, (ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of
research involving human subjects, (iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in
such research and (iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings.
The Belmont Report attempts to summarize the basic ethical principles identified by the Commission in the course of
its deliberations. It is the outgrowth of an intensive four-day period of discussions that were held in February 1976 at
the Smithsonian Institution's Belmont Conference Center supplemented by the monthly deliberations of the
Commission that were held over a period of nearly four years. It is a statement of basic ethical principles and
guidelines that should assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround the conduct of research with human
subjects. By publishing the Report in the Federal Register, and providing reprints upon request, the Secretary intends
that it may be made readily available to scientists, members of Institutional Review Boards, and Federal employees.
The two-volume Appendix, containing the lengthy reports of experts and specialists who assisted the Commission in
fulfilling this part of its charge, is available as DHEW Publication No. (OS) 78-0013 and No. (OS) 78-0014, for sale by
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Unlike most other reports of the Commission, the Belmont Report does not make specific recommendations for
administrative action by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Rather, the Commission recommended that
the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety, as a statement of the Department's policy. The Department requests
public comment on this recommendation.

The Benefits and Risks of Using Skype at Darcy’s .docx
The Benefits and Risks of
Using Skype at Darcy’s:
A Short Report
September 20, 2013
Prepared for:
Darcy’s Department Store
Prepared by:
Student Name
BUS105
2
Background
The East Coast buyers for Darcy’s Department Store are looking for an economical and
efficient way to share information about the deals buyers are getting from various
suppliers and use real-time transmission of that information between one another to
help save money.
There are a number of tools to do this, but Skype has been mentioned as a leading
contender. Skype claims to be an easy to use, online tool that allows users to connect
with any other Skype user around the world for free. A user can make video and voice
calls to other Skype users at no charge. Users can even share files among themselves,
which provides a great asset during a business meeting. However, when there are group
video calls, then Skype begins to charge a fee.
Also, for buyers throughout the East Coast, this tool can be useful if they need to talk
with one another. However, for meetings that require more than two attendees, Skype
is not a useful tool and is not intended to work that way for business.
Benefits
Among the most attractive benefits of Skype is that it is free and you can see the person
you are talking with. To purchase a software license for 20 buyers that is compatible to
what Skype can do will cost Darcy’s roughly $1,500 per month. There are no hidden
charges with Skype. According to Skype’s web page, users get video and voice calls to
other Skype users and “instant messaging and file sharing” all at no charge.
The video sharing feature of Skype will allow the buyers to see products in real time.
For example, if two buyers are looking at similar merchandise from two different
suppliers who are offering different pricing, then they can quickly Skype one another
and compare the product to see if it is the same and to then get the best pricing for it.
Two business writers for the Auburn Citizen in NY, state that there are business users
“who can save time and money in scheduling and holding conferences or training
sessions, demonstrate products or services for potential customers, and extend
customer service by showing customers how to get the most from your product” (Leon
and Leon).
Downsides
Despite the benefits mentioned above, there are clear downsides to this product. I
tested Skype over a one-week period by calling various Skype users throughout the East
Coast and tried to simulate a conversation that a buyer might have.
First, using Skype takes getting used to. During my five-day test, I never mastered the
connection stage. This is when one Skype user “calls” another Skype user. Skype makes
3
a distinctive sound that lets the user know it is making a call. However, once you
connect to whom you are calling, the picture shows, but it takes abo.

The Process of Infection
Disease-causing agents called pathogens are found in air and food and on nearly every object or person.
An epidemic is a disease outbreak that affects many people in a community or region at the same time.
A pandemic is a global epidemic of a disease.
When a pathogen is virulent, it is strong enough to overcome host resistance and cause disease.
One becomes immunocompromised when the immune system is impaired.

Routes of Transmission
Direct contact: kissing or touching an infected person
Indirect contact: touching something that the infected person has touched
You may also autoinoculate yourself by transmitting a pathogen from one part of your body to another.
Animal-borne (zoonotic) infections are spread by domestic and wild animals.
Interspecies transmission is rare but does occur.
