Feminist & Empowerment Theories Feminist theory can be applied with Peter and Fernando to promote self-determination and problem-solving skills for their current and future challenges. Feminist theory states that patriarchal culture is concerned with power and oppression over minority populations (Adams et al., 2013). Specific feminist techniques include: an analysis of oppression and power, exploring client self-esteem and interdependence, and empowering clients (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014). Patriarchy is damaging to males in society (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014) and teaches ‘manhood’ where the dominant heterosexual culture views homosexual men and women as ‘others’ (Adams et al., 2013). This can be seen with Fernando’s father who has disapproval of his son’s sexual identity. In addition, Peter has taken on the responsibility of head of household while Fernando has taken on the role of stay-at-home caretaker to Jose. Feminist theory brings together personal and political thinking to increase the client’s power (Turner, 2017). When applying feminist theory within a relationship there is an emphasis on the concept of mutuality wherein there is a sense of respect, interest, empathy, and responsiveness experienced by both parties (Turner & Maschi, 2015). This fosters resilience through a two-way relational dynamic (Turner & Maschi, 2015). The use of this approach within the case of Peter and Fernando would help to foster resilience in the family dynamic through this emphasis on mutuality. By fostering empathy, respect, and responsiveness within the relationship dynamic will help Peter and Fernando improve communication through empathy and respect for each other’s perspective. Empowerment is a concept that is strongly supported by evidence in social work practice (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory and feminist theory both provide social workers with the expertise to validate client experiences, support client strengths, and promote collectivism through mutual aid and support (Turner, 2017). Three dimensions of empowerment theory include: (1) a development of a more positive identity and sense of self, (2) build knowledge and critical thinking to connect personal and political realities, and (3) build resources and strategies to achieve personal and collective goals (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory assumes that the client(s) are the expert on the issue at hand and have within them the strengths to overcome the given problem (Turner & Maschi, 2015). It is then the job of the social worker to connect the client to resources within their community and assist them in utilizing those resources in keeping with their identified strengths (Turner & Maschi, 2015). .

Felicia makes fabulous fried foods that she sells to family and friends. Felicia’s friend, Fergus, is interested in selling her fried foods using the name “Felicia’s Fabulous Food Company.” Felicia is flattered but does not have enough time to fry any more foods; so Felicia charges Fergus $125,000 to allow Fergus to use her recipes and market the food using her name. On March 10, 2001, Fergus and Felicia enter into a written agreement that provides: 1. Felicia will market and advertise the fried foods. 2. All food is to be prepared with no deviation from Felicia’s recipes. 3. Fergus will manage sales and accounts receivables. 4. Felicia and Fergus will each pay 50 percent of the expenses of the business, such as electricity, water, telephone, heat, insurance and advertising. 5. Felicia will keep two-thirds of the gross receipts and Fergus one-third. Ten years later, Fergus and Felicia had a number of disagreements and Fergus decides to leave the business. At the time, the business’s net worth was $857,000. Felicia argues that she owns the business and that Fergus, if not an employee, was no more than a franchisee. Fergus argues that he is Felicia’s partner. Were Felicia and Fergus partners? Explain and discuss the factors that lead to your conclusion. .

Federalism: Comparing Government Response in Hurricane Katrina vs. Coronavirus You will be watching two 50 minute documentaries: The Strom and Coronavirus Pandemic in order to complete this essay. Topic Overview : Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both produced policy disasters in the United States that were both unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges produced by nature raise the question of whether certain disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local government. Objective : While watching these films, the central theme to take away from these videos is a better and more comprehensive understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and consequences of each different national disaster, based on different level of government’s responses, actions. Leadership, communication processes, and decision-making. Despite, both Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly different responses by each level of government’s leadership (across all levels: federal, state and local). Introduction to Federalism: State and Local governments are the first line responders to crisis. The institutions encompass not only the national government and the American states, each with their own distinctive histories, but extend down to the local level of counties, cities, smaller communities, and special-purpose entities such as school districts. Support and opposition for Federalism rests on government leadership, power, decision-making, and response to national disasters. Response is a geographic and constitutional matter of design. The principles underlying federalism create a power system where multiple levels of government (local, state, and federal) coexist in an organization of power that is both exclusive and shared, depending on the event at hand. Though the federal government has a vital role to play in advancing national priorities through the powers enumerated to it by the U.S. Constitution, our founders recognized long ago that many of the challenges our citizens face can best be addressed at the state level. The Constitution set forth means for strengthening national government’s power, intended to establish a more perfect union (Preamble). Federalism would be the new organization of power, between local, state and federal U.S. government, in order to the remedy weaknesses caused by the Articles of Confederation. Principles of Federalism Limited government States’ rights (10th amendment) Goals of Federalism: Foster cooperation Prevent Federal Intrusion into State Protect State’s utility as “laboratories” of democracy Central Themes to Focus on and Think About comparisons and discussion of struggles between local, state and federal levels of government according to how federalism has manifested into a power tug-of-war in authority division of power division .

Feedback for 4 Milestone Two: Research and Support Please address Milestone two’s feedback and include these changes when working on your Milestone 3 assignment. 1)Proposal Care Support The data you cite in this section supports that there is a nursing shortage. However, I would have liked to see you add more insight into what research shows on the impact this shortage has on patient safety and quality care. What does the research say about the nursing shortage and its connection with quality care, thus leading you to believe a change was necessary? 2) Value-Based Support While you discussed financial impacts of your proposal, you did not touch on value based reimbursement. How does short staffing effect patient care and then ultimately reimbursement rates received by your institution?Top of Form Bottom of Form 3) Data Evidence You listed an example of a quality indicator that MAY be effected by the nrusing shortage. However, you need to include data that the nursing shortage itself is an issue. How many nurses is your facility short? What is the nurse to patient ratio? How many openings are there? etc. 4) Strategies While you gave great examples of strategies that could be used to help improve the nursing shortage, are there any interprofessional strategies currently in use that would also be helpful? 5) Strategy Defense So what nursing indicators will be affected with the implementation of your proposal? See http://ojin.nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/ANAMarketplace/ANAPeriodicals/OJIN/TableofContents/Volume122007/No3Sept07/NursingQualityIndicators.html for a list of the Nursing Sensitive Indicators Additionally, while you wrote your own professional insight, I would have liked to see you utilize research to add support to these views and ideas. 6) Articulation of Response Submission has errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, or syntax Running head: RESEARCH & SUPPORT 1 Research and support 2 Nursing Shortage and the Need for More Nurses Research and Support Proposal Care Support Nurses are a very critical part of a health care facility. Nursing shortage is not just a problem experienced in the United States but globally. The shortage is as a result of high turnover, unavailability of potential educators and unfair distribution of the workforce. Healthcare organizations are therefore competing to acquire the scarce nurses in order to improve their delivery of quality care. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 1.1 million additional nurses are required to address the shortage problem (Haddad, 2019). For an organization to effectively compete for the scarce nurses, acquire top talent and reduce employee turnover, it must offer an enticing compensation and benefits package. Organizations that offer great wages and benefits easily attract applicant and maintain the nurses they already have. My proposal to offer a better compensation and benefits package would therefore lead to an i.

Federal Budget Speech " Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you ." - Thomas Jefferson The federal budget spends close to four trillion dollars a year and is split between mandatory spending (what the federal government has to spend due to congressional legislation) and discretionary spending (what the federal government spends as a result of congressional allotment). Roughly speaking, mandatory spending accounts for two-thirds of the federal budget and discretionary spending accounts for one-third of the federal budget. Every year the executive and legislative branches debate budgetary priorities for the federal bureaucracies such as the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education, and others. Many of these debates occur within congressional committee meetings as members of Congress, federal employees, outside interests, and individual citizens articulate funding requests. For the Unit 9 Assignment you will compose a speech advocating why your chosen department, administration, or agency within the federal bureaucracy should receive additional funding. Because the “world is a stage,” let us establish the setting, plot, and the ensuing action for your speech. Setting: Exterior: Washington D.C. State Capitol Building. Interior: Room 221B. Congressional Hearing Room. Plot: Imagine that you are in a cavernous room. You sit before a large table facing twenty one senators from the Budget Committee. Photographers, more than you can imagine, squeeze between the space that separates you from the members of Congress. Behind you in the gallery, public policy wonks and regular citizens sit, awaiting your presentation. You are a featured speaker from a citizen group that advocates a particular public policy funding concern for your federal department, administration, or agency. Prior to the meeting you have already read the president’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming year from the Office of Management and Budget and you have some budgetary concerns. You read in alarm how the upcoming federal budget request from the White House reduces funding for your federal department, administration, or agency. But, as you know, it is up to Congress to fund the executive bureaucracy. The executive branch requests funding and the legislative branch allocates funding. This is your chance to request more funding for your federal department, administration, or agency of choice. Action: Equally eager and nervous you stand in front of a lectern. “Now,” you think, “now I am ready…” You click on the microphone, examine your prepared speech about your funding request, and you begin to speak with eloquence and passion! Directions : Compose a 400 word transcript of your public policy speech. Select a specific example of public policy from one of the following fields: Economic policy – for example, U.S. budget deficit spending. .

Feedback developed by Estee Beck, PhD General strategies for peer response attribution to an unknown author The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Peer Feedback Research in writing studies show evidence that undergraduate student writers are not familiar with providing adequate peer feedback, and instead rely upon mildly pleasant comments as a way to not offend a fellow student. At the same time, getting feedback is a crucial step in writing. Feedback provides insight from a detached reader, who may provide overall direction for the works-in-progress. Learning how to give feedback requires practice, patience, good reading skills, and sensitivity toward relations. But, students need training with how to give good peer feedback. How to give not-so-great feedback: Here’s a sample paragraph from a friend who has asked for some feedback on the scope of the paragraph. He’s concerned that the summary paragraph does not provide enough detail to conclude a section of the paper. for working within electronic computer Although computers & writing and digital rhetoric employ different methodologies benefits apply to classroom based writing practices along with research and scholarship, the ultimate quest provides insight into a knowledge and information exchange economy through and with digital technologies.

These sources can include books, academic journal articles, and published expert reports. Whatever the exact form, academic sources all have in common the fact that they are peer-reviewed. Peer reviewed sources are written by an expert in the field and have passed review by other experts who judged the source for quality and accuracy. If a source is peer-reviewed, you know it is a good choice for high-quality, accurate information about your topic. Not all sources show whether they are scholarly relevant or peer-reviewed, but there are some clues you should check. · Look at the author's credentials. They should have an advanced degree and/or an affiliation with a scholarly organization like a university or a science foundation. · Look as well for a list of references or a bibliography. Most high-quality research is based on other research, so a good source will have a list of works the author studied as he or she was writing it. Check this list to make sure. · Finally, you can tell a lot about a source by looking at the publisher who publishes it. Scholarly sources should be published by a professional association like the American Medical Association; by a university, for example the Oxford Unive.

FATHERING, CLASS, AND GENDER A Comparison of Physicians and Emergency Medical Technicians CARLA SHOWS Daytona State College NAOMI GERSTEL University of Massachusetts Using a multimethod approach (including a survey, interviews, and observations), this article examines the link between class and masculinities by comparing the way two groups—professional men (physicians) and working-class men (emergency medical technicians, or EMTs)—practice fatherhood. First, the authors show that these two groups practice different types of masculinity as they engage in different kinds of fatherhood. Physicians emphasize “public fatherhood,” which entails attendance at public events but little involvement in the daily care of their children. In contrast, EMTs are not only involved in their children’s public events but also emphasize “private fatherhood,” which entails involvement in their daily care. Second, the authors suggest that these differing types of involvement can be explained by the contrasting employment conditions of each group as well the gender order of their families, especially the divergent labor market positions of spouses and the division of parenting. The authors conclude by arguing that these working-class fathers are “undoing gender” while professional fathers reproduce the conventional gender order. Keywords: class; gender; masculinities; work; family; parenting; fathers AUTHORS’ NOTE: We gratefully acknowledge support from NSF (No. SES-0549817), the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), and the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI); we would like to thank Irene Boeckmann, Dana Britton, Michelle Budig, Dan Clawson, Jill Crocker, Dustin Avent-Holt, Donald Tomaskovic- Devey, Robert Zussman, and the anonymous reviewers at Gender & Society.

Although most of this research focuses on the range of women’s experiences, some suggests that most men still emphasize employment as central to their practice of fatherhood (Lamb 1995; Orloff and Monson 2002; Townsend 2002), leaving far more of the parenting and daily caregiving to mothers (Casper and Bianchi 2002; Craig 2006). Few studies, however, focus on the varied experiences of men to examine how employment shapes fatherhood (Astone et al. forthcoming), fewer explore how parenting shapes men’s employment (Lundberg and Rose 2000), and almost none compare fathers in different class positions. This article examines the relationship between.

Fan 2 Weiding Fan DISC 1312 Prof. Treat 9 May 2019 Coming of Age in the Sixteen Candles "Understand that one day you will have the power to make a difference to use it well" the words of Mindy Kaling are a true reflection of the concept of coming of age as seen in most teenage films. Most of these film focus on the growth of an individual from the growth of the person to the maturity where the individual can make proper decisions. Most parts of the film resonate around the regions where an individual is developing challenging behavior as the person reaches young age. In the movie, sixteen Candles, for instance, the protagonist is visibly experiencing a coming of age, and this can be noticed in most parts of the film. These parts of the film focus on the transition in terms of the psychological and moral growth of a character in the movie. The director of the film, John Hughes, artistically integrates the aspects of the plot, themes and literary elements that constitute the character build of the protagonist to reinforce her role. Typically, coming of age looks into the issues physiological as well as emotional transitioning of an individual from one period to another. The protagonist Samantha is portrayed as coming of age as can be seen in the film. Samantha has to go to school on her birthday after her whole family forgets that she is turning sixteen on this day (Hughes 0:22). The audience of this film notice that an instance of coming to age can be seen through the character Sam, who makes a note that if she is given a chance to make love to someone, she will prefer Jake Ryan, who, the audience learns is her crash. In the reading A&P, her day is spoilt by a customer who picks a quarrel with her while she sells. From this incident, it is evident that she is easily irritable. In this instance, the protagonist as depicted in this film is at the puberty stage. She has made familiar friends, whom she can share with some intimate conversations such as the person she desires to be with sexually. Ariantzi informs that they experience a “gradual integration into society and social identity formation of adolescents." In this case, the character Sam wants to identify with some of her classmates who are having mutual feelings about sex. At the teenage, most adolescents find attraction in members of the opposite sex that they might have grown up with as friends. During this time, the perception of the adolescent towards the other individual is different since he or she begins to feel sexual attraction towards the partner. Moreover, at the age of sixteen, Samantha feels that she has acquired a legally significant period. In the united states, the legal age for one to become an adult is the age of sixteen. Following this, many people value their sixteenth birthday, and Sam is not an option. Through this, the viewers of the film get to learn that on this day of her birthday, she is transitioning from childhood to adulthood. With this in her mind, s.

FAMILY ASSESSMENT 1 FAMILY ASSESSMENT Institution Affiliation Student Name Date Family-Focused Functional Assessment The questions asked in the interview with the family that agreed to participate were based on the eleven functional health patterns. The family that participated in the family health assessment program was a single parent structure, a mother with two children. The questions were directed towards the personal life of the respondent; therefore, their names will not be mentioned. It was an African American parent who is single, middle class income. The family is religious, Christians and live in the Chicago neighbourhood. It is a mother who is always there for her daughters and works hard to meet their needs. The overall health behaviour of the family include eating healthy meals, drink plenty of fluids, and children are given junk once in a while. The children snore and the mother works two jobs and gets time to sleep for only 5hours in a day because she works in the afternoon and evening. The family’s bowel movements are normal and temporary changes are experienced but it’s nothing to worry about. The mother creates time to engage in physical activities, twice a week and the types of exercises she does are morning runs and home work-out just to keep fit. She makes all the decisions that involve her children’s schooling and future plans, and she reported that she doesn’t get confused. She has healthy eyesight. She feels that the future will be great because she has done several investments that will yield positive outcomes. Children are disciplined using praise positive behaviour because she wants her children to grow into a functional family that does not instil fear and reflect negative behaviour when they become adults. She has started seeing someone recently and has never experienced any sexual dysfunction. The most recent stressful event she experienced is increased pressure from work and creating time to spend with her children. Unfortunately, coping strategies were not well defined. The current health of the family is moderate considering the constraints that the single parent has to undergo to ensure that the children are happy and safe. The family eats a healthy diet that includes vegetables and fruits with less junk food. Based on the findings of the role relationship, I saw this as strength because the parent disciplines her daughters through praise positive behaviour. Descriptive praise is what she mentioned that works best for her children. Descriptive praise means that a parent takes the initiative to tell their children exactly what they like. Praise helps change a child’ negative behaviour and based on what I observed her children are disciplined, they have confidence and self-esteem, (Campbell-Salome, et.al, 2019). At times, she has to use rewards to encourage her two daughters to perform well in academics and at home. The healthy diet and drinking more fluids habit is another strength t.

Fall prevention: Applying the evidence By Kathleen Fowier, MSN, RN, CMSRN Quality Improvement Manager UPMC St. Margaret, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania As told to Janet Boivin, BSN, RN S u c c e s s f u l fall pre vention program s use m u lti m odal interventions, such as detailed fall risk assessments, fre q u e n t m o n ito rin g by staff, and a p p ro p ria te use o f equipm en t. Healthcare facilities typically im p le m e n t best practices in b un dles, m aking it often d iffic u lt to determ ine which in terventions are the m ost effective. UPMC St. M argaret Hospital in Pittsburgh, Penn sylvania jo in e d the Pennsylvania Hospital Engage m ent N etw ork (PA HEN) in A pril 2012 to reduce falls w ith injury. This set us on a path th a t resulted in a 75% reduction in falls w ith serious injuries. (See graph.) Here is how we accom plished this reduction. Analysis: Role of data and best practices A fte r jo in in g PA HEN, we fo rm e d a m ultidisciplinary team tasked w ith review ing and investigating all fall events, extracting and analyzing data, and evaluat ing best practices im p le m e n te d as a result o f root cause analysis. Case study This case study illustrates our fall team in action An 80-year-old fem ale p a tie n t w ith im paired cognitive function and m u ltip le risk factors— including an unsteady gait, im paired vision, and m u ltiple m edications— was assessed as a high fall risk when a d m itte d to our facility. The nursing staff im plem ented a bed alarm to alert them when the p a tie n t was g e ttin g up w ith o u t using the call light. They also m oved her closer to the nurse's station and used purposeful rounding to anticipate and attend to her needs. The average response tim e fo r alerts w ith this p a tie n t was a rapid 10 seconds. D espite these steps, the patient's bed alarm sounded several tim es to alert staff, who fou n d her standing beside the bed. The nurses reached o u t to the fall team fo r support. The team reviewed th e bed-alarm settings (three sensitivity settings— low, m edium , and high) and sim ulated alarm tim e studies w ith the nursing staff. Their efforts revealed m isperceptions in em ployee understanding o f bed-alarm settings. For example, the staff th o u g h t the bed alarm w ould alert them th a t the p a tie n t was o ff the p e rim e te r o f the mattress no m atter what the sensitivity setting. The fall team used sim ulated bed-alarm scenarios to educate the staff and help to change practice. The nursing staff learned it's not enough to sim ply engage the alarm; the alarm also needs to be at the a p p ropriate setting. The staff began using more sensitive settings fo r patients w ith im pulsive behaviors. We learned an im p o rta n t lesson: How well em ployees understand facility equipm ent, its variations, and how to use it are im p o rta n t considerations when analyzing p a tie .

What we are going to be looking at between now and the end of the semester is the whole question of human rights. This is about the push for universal human rights as embraced by a secular civil society vs. a more conditional religious approach which would see human rights from the perspective that people who belong to a certain faith have different rights. In Judaism, in Christianity, and in Islam there are groups of people pulling in opposite directions. Some advocate for the ideals of a secular, humanistic civil society where everyone is treated equally. Others advocate for a more specifically religious social narrative where a person's status, and thus their rights, are determined more by the narrative of faith. The more religious social narrative inclines more toward religious fundamentalism. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all possess narratives of salvation and damnation. That is to say, they all have doctrines which deal with salvation, with who exactly gets to live with God in the after-life. They also have doctrines of damnation, or who gets excluded from the heavenly fellowship after death. We might see these as narratives of divine inclusion and divine exclusion. These competing narratives merge into considerations of human rights because, if we really believe a certain person is going to hell, why should we work to assure their rights while they are here on earth? This has led to tremendous religious persecution in the past. The problem all three religions have is that there are people in each faith who strongly believe that their own personal doctrine of salvation is the only one that works. Likewise, all three faiths have scriptures which call for respect and hospitality to be shown to those who are “sojourners”, or people of a different, or outsider faith. Unfortunately, in many situations these are not the scriptures which get promoted. Instead, people tend to gravitate toward doctrines which promote a more limited and specific idea of exactly who enjoys the favor of the Almighty.
