The message of any medium or technology is the change of scale or pace or pattern that it introduces into human affairs. The railway did not introduce movement or transpotatio or wheel or road into human society, but it accelerated and enlarged the scale of previous han functions, creating totally new kinds of cities and new kinds of work and leisure.” (McLuhan, 1964, p. 8) McLuhan’s insight suggests that we need to look beyond the simple message to the social influence of the medium. As your textbook states, “…the manner in which people communicate shapes not only the society in which they live but how they interact within it (p. 461). Discuss how the ways that we communicate through social media, texting, blogging (both locally and globally) influence the ways that we perceive the world. Find a video (some interesting ones on TED .com) or a news article that provides support for your discussion. Your submission should be approximately 500 words and include sociological concepts from your text as well as some of your own ideas as well as information from your selected video or article.

Three Historical Narratives:
Oral to Electronic Culture
Oral Culture – all interactions take place in face-to-face discussions.
Written Culture – a shared system of inscription in a literate society exists so that communication can take place outside of face-to-face discussions across time and space.
Print Culture – an expansion of Written Culture that encompasses the consequent social and cultural changes that result from the proliferation of printer material.
Electronic Culture – communication transcends time and space.
There is a different sense of time in Oral Culture, according to Ong.
Since there are no records, memory cannot be recorded. History
can only reside in the present, in the telling of the story. Memory
is thematic and formulaic. The story may vary very little from telling to
telling over time, but the words and phrases used may differ.
Performance is the key to authorship. Every time a story is told or a work is
performed, it is shaped by the performer and provides a new model for future performances.
Oral cultures are relatively homogeneous with respect to knowledge and social norms but public and shared across generations.
Written Culture, according to McLuhan , has been the means of creating
‘civilized man.’
According to Innis, written communication allowed societies to persevere through time by creating durable texts which could be handed down and referred to. This allowed for control of knowledge by certain hierarchies and also allowed for centralized control to expand over a wider area.
Audiences could be remote in time and space, and the communicator could guarantee that the message received is identical to the one sent without having to rely on the memory of the messenger. The communicator could reach a wider and more disparate audience.
Print Culture – the ability to mechanically reproduce text freed writing
from its reliance on an elite group of individuals and guaranteed that
each copy of the text would be identical to every other copy.
Printing was instrumental in the development of a secular society and in the establishment of a democracy among the upper classes in early
modern Europe, according to historian, Elizabeth Eisenstein.
Printing reinforced the sense of individuality and privacy and makes
Introspection possible.
Printing enabled the emergence of the newspaper and the novel, and
altered the very structure of human consciousness and thought.
Electronic Culture – the telegraph reorganized people’s perception of space and time; it enabled the transmission of messages across space, and it fostered a rational reorganization of time. The telegraph also separated transportation from communication.

Building Transcultural Teams
Research Question: How can hermeneutic methodology and
narrative
storytelling identify and enrich cultural differences and
enhance communication, deepen understanding and create
synergy in multicultural organizations?
As the global economy continues expanding, managers and
organizations will be faced with issues that may have gone
unaddressed in the past. While opportunities for synergy
and creative emergence have increased, so has the potential
for conflict. The Interpretive Storytelling Method was
birthed from an observation of the growing multicultural
climate and the predominantly quantitative nature of
multicultural management literature. The purpose of the
present research is to develop a model utilizing hermeneutic
methodology and narrative storytelling as a protocol for
teambuilding in multicultural settings. The project begins
with an overview of the global cultural climate and
multicultural literature. Hermeneutics and narrative
storytelling then provide a backdrop from which the ITSM
unfolds. In working with multicultural teams from several
organizations, the case studies provide insight into the
contributions the Interpretive Transcultural Storytelling
Method can make, as well as areas in which further research
is warranted.

ABSTRACT
This paper explores the role of metaphors in the production of redescriptions of the world within the framework of technological design
processes. Drawing on a collaborative ethnography with the Economic
Space Agency (ECSA), a start-up developing post-blockchain technology,
this paper illustrates how metaphors mimic the toponymy of
decentralized material infrastructures, while simultaneously pushing
forward ‘posthuman’ values that are expected to become fixated
through software. Through an analysis of a ‘collection’ of metaphors
produced by ECSA, this paper sheds light on the work performed by
specific vocabularies, within technological communities, in shaping a symbiotic relationship between futuristic politics and material culture.Comparative literature in the age of digital humanities on possible futures...

The Internet has centralised economic power.” Essay - 40 .docx
“The Internet has centralised economic power.”
Essay - 40% Address one of the following topics. Make it clear what your argument is, and don’t forget to define key terms. Your argument must reference the role of 'free' online labour, and draw on material from Module 1 and Module 2. The goal of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your ability to analyse broad shifts in the economy linked to the Internet. Choose one of the following topics:
1. “The Internet has centralised economic power.”
This assignment is worth 40% of your marks for the unit.
Undergraduate students should approximately 2,000 words, postgraduate students should write approximately 3,000 words. Postgraduates will need to do more to connect their analysis to specific case studies in order to demonstrate a deeper analysis than that provided by undergraduates. You can write up to 10% more than the word count without being penalised. If you're more than 10% under the word count, it's a sign that you're not providing enough depth in your argument.
The essay topics are deliberately worded to allow a range of responses (including disagreeing with any of the statements), and you are encouraged to develop a response that integrates some of the more complex arguments and positions addressed in the curriculum materials as well as through the seminars/Discussion Board. Your learning in Module 2 will be most effective if you develop your ideas through discussion.
Criteria for Assessment You will be marked according to how well you:
1. Demonstrate understanding of the relationship between capitalism and the Internet; 2. Draw effectively on relevant academic research, including theoretical concepts and empirical data; 3. Present a developed and well-structured argument; 4. Effectively communicate in the essay format; 5. Support and connect your statements with appropriate examples, the role of free online labour, and relevant concepts from Modules 1 and 2.
All your work needs to indicate clearly, using APA-format referencing, whenever another source is being used. This includes: using the wording of another person, paraphrasing or drawing on information and ideas from another source (even if reworded).
READINGS
Digital Capitalism
By now, you probably have an emerging (or better!) idea of how powerful economic interests are on the Internet, and the ways in which businesses are creating revenue from online activities and communication. In the second module, we start looking more deeply at how the Internet has affected our economic systems. We want you to get some sense of the fundamental forces underpinning the economy, of how they have changed over time, and of what the future might look like. This requires understanding a bit more about how capitalism works, including the role of of the state, production processes, and changing patterns of consumption.
The readings below mostly assume that you understand the terms 'capitalism' and 'neoliberalism'. Depending on your.
Auto-ethnography” is a form of anthropological writing where th
“Auto-ethnography” is a form of anthropological writing where the author explores their own life and personal experiences, analytically connecting these experiences to wider cultural practices and meanings. You must use your anthropological
imagination and analysis
to frame and explain to your reader how your personal experience fits into broader material and social infrastructures, cultural processes, identity communities, and symbolic meanings. The goal of auto-ethnography is both
to
communicate
in writing something of
what the experience feels like
from the “native point of view,”
and
to
interpret and explain
the significance of this experience and its connection to broader social dynamics
using anthropological analysis
.
Both of these components must be well-developed in your short paper.
PROMPT: After watching Amber Case’s short TED talk about cyborg anthropology (shown in class on March 6, but easily searchable online), think about the ways you interact with your primary digital device or devices (phone, tablet, laptop, etc.). In a short paper (2-3 pages, double spaced, standard font) explore the entanglement of technological extensions with your identity and personhood.
You are
not
required
to incorporate answers to all the questions below (that would be impossible in a short paper)—they are offered here just to spur your ideas.
How is the device part of your everyday practice?
In what ways does it connect you to your social communities?
How does it help you construct a sense of self?
What factors help to expand your capacity and reach as a human being?
Are there any ways you feel trapped or hindered by your technology?
Overall, how is it being a cyborg-human in the early 21st century?
How do you imagine tech saturation has made your experience as a human different from past generations?
In what ways are you doing just what earlier humans did, but on different platforms?”

PS355 – Winter 2019
Civic Engagement Project
Assignment
The core of this assignment is for you to practice "engaging yourself and engaging your civic community." Your goal should be multi-layered - to bring change in one social issue that is of concern to you in your community, to develop your knowledge and skills related to civics, and to challenge yourself to reach outside of the classroom to learn and then bring your knowledge back to the classroom to share with your classmates.
You will need to (1) choose and research one substantial social issue at Western Oregon University or in your surrounding community, (2) define a problem found within the issue, and (3) devise and implement a local solution to that problem. If the type of project you choose does not allow for implementation during this quarter, you must submit a detailed proposal of how your project would be implemented with additional time.
You will present your project to the class (a) briefly in Week 4 to gain feedback (January 28th), and (b) the complete project at the end of the quarter (classes during Week 9 and 10 of the quarter, plus on final exam day if needed). In addition, you will need to turn in progress reports and hold brief meetings with me to discuss your efforts. You may work alone or in a group (if you work in a group, you will receive a group score). You will have a great deal of latitude in the project you choose. However, you will work closely with me in planning your actions, and determining what is sufficient progress based on the project and problem you choose.
As you begin work on the project keep the following questions in mind:
· What may prevent progress or help you succeed, and how can you plan for these challenges?
· Who will you need to work with (who are the stakeholders and what are their interests)?
· What will be most effective to change behavior?
Grading
Grades will be determined by the amount and quality of work you complete, not necessarily completing the project, as there is a time limitation of just one quarter. However, the average amount of time that should be spent on the project should be at least 40 hours (4 hours a week) as the assignment is 50% of the class grade. The 40 hours includes the time needed to write the Design, Project Reports, and Project Summary. In addition, you will be assessed on how well your project changes behavior. Therefore, you need to es.

Digital Capitalism
By now, you probably have an emerging (or better!) idea of how powerful economic interests are on the Internet, and the ways in which businesses are creating revenue from online activities and communication. In the second module, we start looking more deeply at how the Internet has affected our economic systems. We want you to get some sense of the fundamental forces underpinning the economy, of how they have changed over time, and of what the future might look like. This requires understanding a bit more about how capitalism works, including the role of of the state, production processes, and changing patterns of consumption.
The readings below mostly assume that you understand the terms 'capitalism' and 'neoliberalism'. Depending on your.

“Auto-ethnography” is a form of anthropological writing where the author explores their own life and personal experiences, analytically connecting these experiences to wider cultural practices and meanings. You must use your anthropological
imagination and analysis
to frame and explain to your reader how your personal experience fits into broader material and social infrastructures, cultural processes, identity communities, and symbolic meanings. The goal of auto-ethnography is both
to
communicate
in writing something of
what the experience feels like
from the “native point of view,”
and
to
interpret and explain
the significance of this experience and its connection to broader social dynamics

Both of these components must be well-developed in your short paper.
PROMPT: After watching Amber Case’s short TED talk about cyborg anthropology (shown in class on March 6, but easily searchable online), think about the ways you interact with your primary digital device or devices (phone, tablet, laptop, etc.). In a short paper (2-3 pages, double spaced, standard font) explore the entanglement of technological extensions with your identity and personhood.

How is the device part of your everyday practice?
In what ways does it connect you to your social communities?
How does it help you construct a sense of self?
What factors help to expand your capacity and reach as a human being?
Are there any ways you feel trapped or hindered by your technology?
Overall, how is it being a cyborg-human in the early 21st century?
How do you imagine tech saturation has made your experience as a human different from past generations?
In what ways are you doing just what earlier humans did, but on different platforms?”

Civic Engagement Project
Assignment
The core of this assignment is for you to practice "engaging yourself and engaging your civic community." Your goal should be multi-layered - to bring change in one social issue that is of concern to you in your community, to develop your knowledge and skills related to civics, and to challenge yourself to reach outside of the classroom to learn and then bring your knowledge back to the classroom to share with your classmates.
You will need to (1) choose and research one substantial social issue at Western Oregon University or in your surrounding community, (2) define a problem found within the issue, and (3) devise and implement a local solution to that problem. If the type of project you choose does not allow for implementation during this quarter, you must submit a detailed proposal of how your project would be implemented with additional time.
You will present your project to the class (a) briefly in Week 4 to gain feedback (January 28th), and (b) the complete project at the end of the quarter (classes during Week 9 and 10 of the quarter, plus on final exam day if needed). In addition, you will need to turn in progress reports and hold brief meetings with me to discuss your efforts. You may work alone or in a group (if you work in a group, you will receive a group score). You will have a great deal of latitude in the project you choose. However, you will work closely with me in planning your actions, and determining what is sufficient progress based on the project and problem you choose.
As you begin work on the project keep the following questions in mind:
· What may prevent progress or help you succeed, and how can you plan for these challenges?
· Who will you need to work with (who are the stakeholders and what are their interests)?
· What will be most effective to change behavior?
Grading
Grades will be determined by the amount and quality of work you complete, not necessarily completing the project, as there is a time limitation of just one quarter. However, the average amount of time that should be spent on the project should be at least 40 hours (4 hours a week) as the assignment is 50% of the class grade. The 40 hours includes the time needed to write the Design, Project Reports, and Project Summary. In addition, you will be assessed on how well your project changes behavior. Therefore, you need to es.

Applied Social Psychology
Applied social psychology is a field unto itself and provides researchers with a direct connection between academic social psychology and their desire to have an impact on social change. Social psychology is a highly applicable field, and social psychological research influences such areas as: consumer behavior, immigration, cultural diversity, education, the environment, organizational functioning, health/mental health, and politics, to name a few (Steg, Buunk, & Rothengatter, 2008).
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how you might use applied social psychology in your field of interest and ways in which to have an impact on social change.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a brief definition of applied social psychology. Then explain how you might apply one element of applied social psychology in your field of interest. Finally, explain one way using applied social psychology in your field of interest may affect social change.

Applied LearningPsychology is an interesting field of study be.docx
Applied Learning
Psychology is an interesting field of study because the theories and concepts that you learn can often be observed in the world around you. This assignment allows you to consider material you have covered in the content of this module and apply those concepts to your own life.
In Section 1, you will identify and define ideas. In this module, as you reviewed your course materials, you likely discovered many interesting new ideas in psychology.
· Identify three different concepts, ideas, or research findings that were interesting or useful to you.
· Explain or describe each concept, theory or research finding in detail, in your own words.
· A good response here would be at least 150 words. Be sure to use proper spelling and grammar in your response. Write your response in the space below.
Response:
The three concepts or theories that I am most interested in are the Psychodynamic Theory, the Cognitive Perspective, and the Gestalt Theory. My first interest, the psychodynamic theory, was developed by neurologist Sigman Freud. Freud believed that unconscious and conscious forces drive human behavior to try and solve conflicts with personal needs and society's demands. His theory views a person as being pushed or pulled, and emphasizes early childhood as a time in which a persons personality is formed. The theory goes on to explain that a persons personality is formed by the events that motivate behavior in early childhood, therefore proving that all behavior is motivated. Freud proposed this theory by studying which parts of the personality consisted of the Id (instincts and pleasure), the superego (obedience to parents and society), and the ego (mediates between Id and superego according to it's demands). Freud felt that if he could help people understand how their personalities were developed and to understand the unconscious and conscious mind, they could actually experience an emotional release, therefore finding relief from psychological disturbances and distress. Behaviorist and Humanist also support Freud's psychodynamic theory of personalities.
My second interest, Gestalt psychology, was developed by psychologist Max Wertheimer et al., and is a theory of visual perception. Gestalt psychology has also been referred to as gestalt theory and the Max Wertheimer theory. The idea of the gestalt theory is that the mind can understand experiences as a whole and not just as a collection of different experiences. It has also been explained as the whole of anything is greater than its parts. This is why the theory is appropriately named gestalt, because gestalt is a German word that means unified whole. Wertheimer believes that the human mind has the capability to accumulate and maintain many different perceptions in a chaotic world. Wertheimer's theory has been become known as “ The laws of Max Wertheimer" and also as “ Gestalt laws of grouping.” Gestalt psyc.

Abstract: Research on nanotechnology application in the oil and gas industry has been growing
rapidly in the past decade, as evidenced by the number of scientific articles published in
the field. With oil and gas reserves harder to find, access, and produce, the pursuit of more
game-changing technologies that can address the challenges of the industry has stimulated this
growth. Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the petroleum industry both upstream
and downstream, including exploration, drilling, production, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR),
as well as refinery processes. It provides a wide range of alternatives for technologies and materials to
be utilized in the petroleum industry. Nanoscale materials in various forms such as solid composites,
complex fluids, and functional nanoparticle-fluid combinations are key to the new technological
advances. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the application of nanoparticles and
technology in the petroleum industry, and focuses on enhanced oil recovery. We briefly summarize
nanotechnology application in exploration and reservoir characterization, drilling and completion,
production and stimulation, and refinery. Thereafter, this paper focuses on the application of
nanoparticles in EOR. The different types of nanomaterials, e.g., silica, aluminum oxides, iron oxide,
nickel oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, polymers, and carbon nanotubes that have
been studied in EOR are discussed with respect to their properties, their performance, advantages,
and disadvantages. We then elaborate upon the parameters that will affect the performance of
nanoparticles in EOR, and guidelines for promising recovery factors are emphasized. The mechanisms
of the nanoparticles in the EOR processes are then underlined, such as wettability alteration, interfacial
tension reduction, disjoining pressure, and viscosity control. The objective of this review is to present
a wide range of knowledge and expertise related to the nanotechnology application in the petroleum
industry in general, and the EOR process in particular. The challenges and future research directions
for nano-EOR are pinpointed.
Keywords: nanotechnology; nanoparticle; petroleum; enhanced oil recovery; recovery mechanism;

The situation at Good Health Hospital has become a bit overwhelming ever since the outbreak of E. coli in Ward 10 on the second floor. It appears that there are six (6) cases of the disease. To better understand the situation, communication with the CDC has revealed that this particular bacterium can be found in many everyday items. The CDC recommends that investigation begins in the hospital kitchens, since E. coli can be transmitted via contaminated vegetables, as well as delicatessen meats such as salami and other cold cuts. The following table shows the number of cases identified so far: Case

After meeting yesterday with chief administrator Joe Wellborn, it has been decided that the litigation issues with one (1) of the patients may need further information to determine if the patient was already symptomatic with the bacteria prior to admission.
Research has indicated that hospitals operating in the Tampa Bay area have been known to have cases of E. coli contamination. This substantiates the need for further investigations by the County Health Department.
Due to the severity of the cases, and the potential for further spread, it is recommended that the hospital seek alternate vending services since the present suppliers cannot verify sanitation protocols for their products.
In conclusion, the study done at Good Health Hospital has indicated that the E. coli outbreak was in fact caused by spoil food from the cafeteria.
As a social science researcher working for a regional hospital, you are placed in charge of contacting the DOH from your home state, as well as the CDC for statistical data on nosocomial diseases that frequently cause illness at your health care facility. Using information from both agencies, evaluate the data on common nosocomial diseases and compile a treatment contingency plan for dealing with the hospital infections.
Write a five to six (5-6) page evaluation report in which you:
Analyze Good Health Hospital’s records and itemize recent nosocomial infections that occurred within the past year. In your report, categorize the different parameters (i.e., person, time, place, ethnicity, and gender) used in the compilation of data into the information summative.
Propose at least six (6) questions for the health care administrator at Good Health Hospital, regarding potential litigation issues with infections from the nosocomial diseases. Rationalize, in your report, the logic behind your six (6) questions.
Identify a targeted audience within Good Health Hospital, and prepare an implementation plan based on your hypothetical meeting with the hospital health care administrator. Propose four (4) steps that will be useful in the final implementation plan.
Suggest at least five (5) recommendations to your department head based on the steps taken in the implementation plan. Provide rationale for your suggestions.

Federal Statutes and the Impact of Legislative Bills
A statute provides the written process that transforms a bill from a static piece of legislation to action. Enacting a statute is more complicated than simply having the legislature vote on and approve it. Once a member of Congress introduces a bill, it is sent to various House and Senate committees and subcommittees, any of which may edit, add to, amend, or “kill” the bill at any point. Therefore, only a small fraction of the bills submitted for consideration are passed into law. If a bill passes through the committees, it will be presented for a floor debate and full vote of both houses of Congress. Then, it must be signed into law by the President. After they are voted on and signed into law, bills are then subject to interpretation and analysis by the judicial system regarding how they apply to specific legal problems and cases.

Application Social ClassIn the Discussion, you addressed how .docx
Application: Social Class
In the Discussion, you addressed how constructionism influenced your racial and ethnic identities. The concept of social class is also based on or influenced by constructionism. Social class categorizes people according to their level of importance in society. According to the constructionist approach, social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences help to categorize you as one class or another. Since outside influences change over time, designations of social class may change over time as well.
When you think of social class, you may think of wealth or power. These attributes do influence social class and will be addressed further in Week 3. Characteristics of race, such as skin color, also can influence social class. In some cultures, people may be assigned to a social class based on their skin, hair, or eye color. For example, in a culture in which white people are considered to be in a higher social class than dark people, the class of people in between may be based on the darkness of their skin, with light-skinned black people being considered in a higher class than dark-skinned black people. In a Native American society, a dark-haired person may be considered to be in a higher social class than a light-haired person. Dark hair matches expectations of appearance for members of a particular tribe. Categorizing individuals by social class can lead to conflicts in defining racial and ethnic identities. In Reading 4, June grapples with such a conflict and must revisit the definition of what it means to be Indian.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the Readings 1, 4, and 6 in the course text, The Meaning of Difference. Pay particular attention to social class and the biological definitions of race and ethnicity.
Think of an historical example of how social class has changed over time.
Identify the major conflict in June's scenario in Reading 4.
Think about the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Consider the impact of social class on June's logic.
The assignment (1–2 pages):
Describe an historical example of how social class has changed over time. Then explain how social class changed in the example, and what caused it to change.
Describe the major conflict in June's scenario.
Explain the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Analyze the impact of social class on June's logic.

Application Role and Value of EvaluationThe United Nations, the.docx
Application: Role and Value of Evaluation
The United Nations, the American Red Cross, and other international disaster response organizations worked together to care for the trauma survivors after a series of four devastating hurricanes smashed into Haiti one after another, before communities had time to regroup from the previous ones. Then the 2010 massive earthquake struck the island. The poverty in Haiti complicated responder effectiveness and may have compounded survivor trauma because residents had few resources. While back to back disasters may make it difficult to evaluate crisis management plans, they point to the importance of learning what worked and what went wrong.
Once a disaster has occurred, the evaluation process includes a review of what was effective in the response as well as what was not effective. Learning and improved insights from a disaster can require making strategic changes in an organization or community. Last week you encountered new procedures for disaster transportation recovery, such as design-build, that can change the manner in which communities recover from disasters. Organizations can take a lesson from this change in thinking and creativity and look at innovative practices for strategic planning and recovery. Therefore, evaluation is a key element in crisis management planning and recovery.
To prepare for this assignment
:
Review Chapter 17 in your course text,
Crisis Intervention Strategies
, focusing on systems overviews and the Principles of a Crisis Intervention Ecosystem. Consider the value of ongoing plan evaluation.
Review the Appendix and Chapters 5 and 9 in your course text,
Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape
, focusing on organizational learning and evaluation of crisis management plans.
Review the article, "Program Evaluation: The Accountability Bridge Model for Counselors." Consider how counselors can use program evaluation to enhance accountability to stakeholders.
Review recent crises and/or disasters online and think about what can be learned about crisis management from them.
The assignment: (2-3 pages)
Provide an analysis of the role and value of evaluation as part of a crisis management plan. Provide specific examples to illustrate your arguments.

Application of Nursing Theory to Practice
What would _(Place any nurse theorist or theory here)_ do?
Case Study:
Abigail Goldberg is a 46-year-old female who has recently been admitted to the hospital
after falling down the stairs and breaking her ankle. Her ankle has been repaired with an
open reduction and fixation device. Currently she has unable to bear weight on that
extremity. Physical Therapy is working with Mrs. Goldberg to assist her in advancing
her mobility.
While talking to Mrs. Goldberg the nurse finds out that she has been experiencing muscle
weakness in her legs for the last two months. She has a history of scoliosis and believed
the weakness was due to an “alignment” problem. Upon admission Mrs. Goldberg has
bilateral weakness in her lower legs. You are unable to assess her gait due to the fractured
ankle, but she states she has been “unsteady on her feet for the last few weeks”. Upon
further history taking you find out her appetite has diminished over the last three weeks,
she states she is hungry but when she tries to eat she fatigues easily then quickly losses
her appetite. She has lost 10 pounds in the “few” months and now weighs 120lbs. Her
CBC and CMP are within normal limits with the exception of mild anemia with an H&H
of 11.5 and 32.9.
Testing is currently being undertaken for a definitive diagnosis of the weakness that lead
to Mrs. Goldberg’s fall. Her physician strongly believes she experiencing symptoms
common for multiple sclerosis. The physician has shared this with Mrs. Goldberg. The
physician has ordered further blood work to evaluate any elevation in antibodies. The
physician has also ordered a CT scan and a spinal tap to assist with making the final
diagnosis.
Mrs. Goldberg has no other significant medical history. She takes only a multi-vitamin
daily. She has never had surgery. She has three children, all girls, ages 18, 15, and 11.
The girls are very active and rely on Mrs. Goldberg to take them to most of their
extracurricular events. The oldest has just started college and this is the first time any of
her children will live away from home. She has been looking forward to traveling to her
daughter’s college for visits. Her religious preference is Judaism. Her family of origin
practices Conservative Judaism. While Mrs. Goldberg participates in religious holiday
celebrations she does not actively practice Judaism nor does she attend temple regularly.
Mrs. Goldberg has been married 5 years to her second husband and states they have a
“good relationship” but that they “have not been intimate for 2 months” because she has
not been feeling well. Mrs. Goldberg was married to her first husband for 15 years. That
marriage ended in divorce after she discovered her first husband was gay.
When the nurse enters Mrs. Goldberg’s room to discuss the plan for the shift and day the
nurse observes Mrs. Goldberg’s affect to be sad. She sta.

· Musical Intelligence = Skills in tasks involved in music.
· Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence = Skills in tasks involved in using whole or parts of body
such as dancers ,athletes, actors, surgeons.
· Logical-Mathematical Intelligence = Skills in problem-solving and scientific thinking.
· Linguistic Intelligence= Skills in production and use of language.
· Spatial Intelligence = skills re: spatial configurations for instance artists and architect
· Interpersonal Intelligence =Skills interacting with others, understanding sensitivity to moods, temperaments, motivations, and intentions of others.
· Interpersonal Intelligence = Knowledge about internal aspects of oneself; access to one's feelings and emotions.
· Naturalistic Intelligence = Ability to identify and classify patterns in nature
2. Enclosed is information about intelligence. Please read the following scenario.
Practical and Emotional Intelligence:
Practical Intelligence produces overall success in living and is used through observation of others' behavior. Emotional Intelligence shows skills that underlie accurate assessment, evaluation, expression of emotions, and regulation of emotions. It is the basis of empathy for others, self-awareness, and social skills. It shows understanding of others' feelings and so can assist others.
Scenario
"An employee who reports to a supervisor that you supervise, has asked to talk with you about waste, poor management practices, and possible violations of company policy and the law on the part of your supervisor. You have been in your position for only a year, but in that time you have had no indications of trouble with that supervisor.
Neither you nor your company has an " open door" policy. It is expected employees take their concerns to their immediate supervisor before bringing the information to others. The employee who wished to meet with you has not discussed the issues with her supervisors because of its delicate nature."
What would you do?
What are your reasons?
Explain the form of intelligence ( practical and/or emotional) you used and how you used it.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The message of any medium or technology is the change of scale or pa.docx
- 1. The message of any medium or technology is the change of scale or pace or pattern that it introduces into human affairs. The railway did not introduce movement or transpotatio or wheel or road into human society, but it accelerated and enlarged the scale of previous han functions, creating totally new kinds of cities and new kinds of work and leisure.” (McLuhan, 1964, p. 8) McLuhan’s insight suggests that we need to look beyond the simple message to the social influence of the medium. As your textbook states, “…the manner in which people communicate shapes not only the society in which they live but how they interact within it (p. 461). Discuss how the ways that we communicate through social media, texting, blogging (both locally and globally) influence the ways that we perceive the world. Find a video (some interesting ones on TED .com) or a news article that provides support for your discussion. Your submission should be approximately 500 words and include sociological concepts from your text as well as some of your own ideas as well as information from your selected video or article. (please include the link to your article or video.)
