Week 5: Roots of Revolution Consider the role of revolution in governmental structure and culture. Provide an example from the reading for the week or your experience visiting the National Archives to explain the relationship between philosophy and political action. _________________________ From student CA Dear Professor and class, When thinking about “revolutions”, and the true meaning of the word, I feel that it represents desire, and a driving force to achieve a goal. With this in mind, we can easily use the example of America battling for freedom against British rule. America was upset over the taxes that Britain was forcing on them, and many of the laws that benefited Britain and made life harder for Americans. In the reading, Peter Gay describes this period of revolution as “freedom from arbitrary power, freedom of speech, freedom of trade, freedom to realize one’s talents, freedom of aesthetic response, freedom, in a word, of moral man to make his way in the world.” (Sayre, 2013). What all revolutions have in common, contemporary ones and those in the past, is resistance to a perceived tyranny. It makes a big difference if the tyranny is seen as an imposition from outside, as it was in America in 1776, and in this century, in India and elsewhere, or if the tyranny is seen to reside in an internal structure, as in France in the 18th century and Russia and China in the 20th. The purpose of all revolutionaries, nevertheless, is to achieve power. According to Sayre., H. M. (2013). The American Declaration of Independence is one of the Enlightenment’s boldest assertions of freedom. In some instances, it may suffice simply to shift power to local hands and leave the social order essentially unchanged. This is what happened in the American Revolution. In others - as was the case in France and Russia - power is redistributed and the society is turned upside down. The more familiar kind of Latin American upheaval, the palace coup where a leader is removed from power by the people who have worked with him or her. Reference: Sayre, H. M. (2013).

Background
Given the importance of international business today, and the fact that more and more people work as expatriates in other countries, it’s vital we understand differences in management approaches and styles. Many of the topics you’ll read about and explore in our course (e.g., motivation, decision making, teams, etc.) become even more important when working with those from different cultures. For example, a common motivation technique in the U.S. might involve creating a competition among groups for the best process improvement ideas. And, the winners might get a cash award or some other perk for their efforts. If you’re an American reading this, you might say “of course….this can be a good technique and I’ve experienced it myself.” But, this may not be the case in other cultures. Plus, what if you’re an American who’s managing Indonesian employees at your firm’s plant in that country? If you use this competition approach to motivation it could fall flat on its face and end up being de-motivating instead.
What might explain this difference? Why might such a technique not ‘travel’ across borders and cultures all that well? Let’s pursue the brief example above to illustrate. Research seems to show that Americans are more likely to be “individualists” – they are taught from childhood to stand out, take chances, and to showcase their abilities/self. (As a result, some have said they don’t work well in groups – if you’re a U.S. student, have you ever had the experience of people freeloading on group projects???). Some Latin and Asian cultures, however, have different views on this issue. They may have been taught to have close ties with groups their whole life, to be highly respectful of them, and work hard to fit in. Contrast this traditional Japanese saying: “The nail that sticks out get hammered down” with a common U.S. saying that .

Literary Analysis Essay On Frederick Douglass
This document discusses using ultrasound imaging (USI) as a biofeedback tool to train abdominal muscles through abdominal hollowing exercises (AHE). Six studies on the topic were reviewed and found to be of moderate to good methodological quality. Some evidence indicates USI can increase the effectiveness of AHE training by helping to facilitate abdominal muscle activation compared to controls. However, factors like small sample sizes, varying protocols, and lack of blinding in some studies require caution in interpreting the results. More high-quality research is still needed to draw definitive conclusions.

Introduce material here… Remember, each case study must have the headings listed below and must be answered according to assignment instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade and this is how your work should be submitted. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. In this section, you will give a very brief overview of your company.
This section is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. If written properly, this section can actually serve as the abstract for the paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Remember that you obtained this information from the textbook. Consequently, you should cite Schwalbe (2016). You should NOT write “According to the textbook” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that.
If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative and not in the first person. Note: The required headings that must be in the paper are bolded and should be kept bolded. One other note: a business is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use pronouns describing a business.

YOUR LOT IN LIFE PROJECT
As we progress through the lifespan, none of us is absolutely certain as to what course our life might take. This assignment is designed to simulate challenges you may face in your own future life and to better prepare you for overcoming potential obstacles. Additionally, it will allow us, as a group, to provide information that others in the community may access when searching for help on their topic.
In the assignment, Your Lot in Life, each of you will be randomly assigned a unique life experience that may occur during childhood. Your assignment is to gather information about your topic (or "lot" in life) from both scholarly and community sources as well as the internet. You will compile this information into a report that will be put together with reports from other students to create the guide. The goals of the assignment are:
1. To give you an opportunity to become familiar with research that has been conducted on your life issue.
2. To give you practical experience in locating likely sources of information and support from the community.
3. To give you practical experience in locating likely sources of information and support from the internet.
4. To get you to evaluate the choices available to individuals who share your life circumstance.
5. To get you to think about how your issue relates to the period of the lifespan in which it occurs.
The research for this lot:
Today you will receive your "lot" in life by random assignment.
1. You will be required to find 3 articles on your topic:
One general article – This source should describe the disorder/condition that has been assigned as your lot. This can come from a book chapter or an article that reviews the literature. These articles do not have methods sections in them. You must include a copy of the book chapter/article that you use.
Two empirically based articles from two different scholarly journals (i.e., data has been collected, they contain a “methods” section, and there is a list of references at the end). Most articles can be found in the online databases, Psycinfo and Ebscohost. If you use Ebscohost, you must select “peer reviewed” articles. Try MEL.
You must attach copies of the articles to your term paper when you turn it in. YOU MUST INCLUDE ARTICLES FROM THREE DIFFERENT JOURNALS (THE JOURNALS DON’T HAVE THE SAME NAME). IF YOU USE A BOOK CHAPTER AS YOUR GENERAL ARTICLE THE REMAINING TWO ARTICLES MUST COME FROM DIFFERENT JOURNALS.
2. Find two agencies in the community and three internet websites that can help you in meeting the challenges of your life issue. You must turn in some written material from EACH agency and a print-out from each internet website when you turn in your term paper. You may not have an agency count for both an internet source and an agency – it must be one or the other.
3. Consider how the lot impacts three areas of development. For example, how are cognitive, physical and social deve.

+ is like an A (this translates to 20 points in our 200-point system)
is like a B (16 points)
- is like a C (12 points),
and so on. I’d like to assign as many and + grades as possible, and if you plan
ahead, follow this guidance, and so on I believe you can do fine work on both your mini-
papers.
In each paper you will show that you know how a given concept in social psychology is
defined, describe how it relates to other social psych ideas, give an example how it
applies in real life, and describe what impact this knowledge makes.
In addition to your name and the usual info at the top of the document, your paper will
include:
(Section 1) Use this caption:
Concept: _____________ [fill in the blank with the name of the concept]
Name an established concept or theory from our social psychology text and/or
from classroom lecture. Don’t use Wikipedia, etc., for your concept – use our
class text and/or lecture notes. You may use any chapter of the text even if we’re
not covering that chapter this quarter.
Provide the definition of the concept or theory. Use quote marks and provide
the page number for the definition by adding an in-text citation like this: (Myers &
Twenge, 13/e, page xx). If you use another recent edition of the book, that’s fine,
just cite it appropriately (11/e or 12/e). It's also okay to copy a definition directly
from your lecture notes, but I still expect you to use quote marks and tell the date
of your notes in which you wrote the definition.
(Section 2) Use this caption:
Related ideas: __________[fill in the blank by naming the 2-3 related ideas]
Using your own words, connect this concept to 2-3 related ideas from our social
psychology textbook. You’ll probably need 5-6 sentences to do this. Use more
sentences if necessary to meet your 900-1000 word target for the paper overall.
Make it easy for us to tell what the related concepts are. Besides naming them in
the caption for the section you might underline them in the paragraphs.
2
(Section 3) Use this caption:
Factual example.
In your own words, describe a factual situation in your own life, in which you saw this
concept or theory at work. You might be recalling something that happened before you
knew the concepts, and you only realize the concept applies in retrospect – that’s okay..

Sociological Imagination Paper assignment
Writing exercise 1
April 16th, 4 PM
100 points
Objective: Practice thinking sociologically about your own life and the community around you.
Background: Sociological imagination is a phrase from sociologist C. Wright (The Promise). Mills was interested in how an average American understood his or her everyday life. He found that people’s understandings of the world are limited by the social situations they find themselves in, particularly their family, friends, schools, and workplaces. It is hard to see the larger picture and how your life fits in. Sociological imagination is a quality of mind that can be developed with conscientious practice, and that helps you understand the larger meanings of experiences. In particular, it helps you connect private troubles or choices to public issues, and to understand the influence of culture, socialization, stratification on your life and lives of others. To use the sociological imagination, it is important to pay attention to the social and historical context in which we find ourselves. This does not mean that the social context determines what happens to us entirely. Rather, our choices are shaped by the society we live in and larger forces.
Writing Assignment 1
Write 3 pages in which you apply the sociological imagination to your own life, or to the life of someone close to you. First, write about the situation without sociological imagination. Then, relate the situation to one or more concept, theory, or fact that we have covered in class so far. For example, you might write about how you perform gender in everyday life, how gender shapes your choices and options, or your first experience with racism. Or you might analyze assumptions about sexuality in how you were raised. Or you might think through what it means to have grown up poor, working, or middle class, etc.
Details:
· Introduce the concept of sociological imagination in your own words, and provide an overview of how you will apply it to the situation in your paper
· Describe the situation Include an explanation of what led up to the situation, specifics of the situation, how it has been resolved or how you think it might get resolved, who are the players involved, how you feel about the situation and why. Describe any choices that have been made or not made and why.
· Provide psychological, moral, evolutionary, or personal explanation(s) for the situation. In other words, how would you explain the situation without sociological imagination? For example, you might talk about how your struggles with weight are due to lack of willpower
· Use sociological imagination to explain the situation sociologically, connecting the personal to larger forces. Review class notes and readings to connect the situation to concepts or theories (week 3) we learned in class. You do not need to do outside research, but if you do use other s ...

Tips for EditorialsTips on Content of Letter· If a publicatio.docx
Tips for Editorials
Tips on Content of Letter:
· If a publication receives multiple letters on the same subject, the editor will choose one that says something in a new way or takes a unique angle.
· Focus your letter on one point on one subject. If you are commenting on a specific story in the paper, mention the headline and date. Cite the specific reference and sum it up in a sentence to refresh readers’ memories. Then point out facts that were left out, or refute or support facts that were stated.
· Be clear and concise. Shorter is better. Most papers want letters of 250 words or less. Magazines such as Time want even less.
· State your point early in the letter and support your point with facts.
· Know the audience of the publication. Technical information and long, multi-syllable words are often inappropriate for a general audience.
· If appropriate, mention your motivation or expertise in writing. For example, “As an Ohio State University student, I believe… and therefore x,” or “I am a director of a non-profit agency that serves families in poverty. Here is what my experience has been….That is why I believe y.”
General Logistical Tips:
Know and follow the policies and specifications of the publication to which you are submitting your letter. Except as noted, it is OK to send the same or similar letters to more than one publication. But don’t submit the same or similar letters to multiple papers in the same media market.
Always include your name, address, and daytime telephone number.
Don’t send specifically local letters to other localities.
General Tips:
Avoid clichés, name-calling, slang, and repetition.
Check your letter for grammar and fluidity, read it out loud to make sure the thoughts flow well.
Give it a catchy title.
How do you write a letter to the editor?
1. Begin the letter with a simple salutation.
Don’t worry if you don’t know the editor’s name. A simple, “To the Editor of the Lantern” is sufficient. If you have the editor’s name, however, you should use it to increase the possibility of your letter being read.
2. Grab the reader’s attention.
Get attention right away; your opening sentence is very important. It should make the reader want to read more.
3. Explain what the letter is about at the start.
Throughout your letter, remember the rule:
Be quick,
Be concise, and then
Be quiet.
Don’t make the editor or the general public wait to find out what you want to say. Tell them your key point at the beginning.
4. Explain why the issue is important.
If you are motivated enough to write a letter to a newspaper or magazine, the importance of your topic may seem clear to you. Remember, though, that the general public probably doesn’t share your background or the interest. Explain the issue and its importance simply. Use plain language that most people will understand.
5. Give evidence for any praise or criticism.
If you are writing a letter discussing a past or pending action, be clear in showing why ...
Real World Negotiation Assignment Your task is to go out there (.docx
Real World Negotiation Assignment
Your task is to go out there (bravely) into the dreaded “real world,” negotiate for something, and then write a paper about it. You can choose or create an opportunity to negotiate something for which you might normally not negotiate or for which you did not intend to negotiate at this point in time. Completed negotiations from the recent or distant past are not eligible.
A wide variety of contexts and potential transactions are fair game, including but not limited to retail consumer encounters, landlord-tenant interactions, personal or family conflict situations, disputes with teachers, fellow students, law enforcement officials, university administrators, etc. A job negotiation is okay if it is going to start and conclude between the beginning of the semester and the due date for this assignment.
The key requirement is that the situation is real with actual costs and outcomes turning on the encounter (although the magnitude of costs and benefits can be relatively small).
Your essay about the experience should, at a minimum, address (also, see rubric chart below): • How you prepared for the negotiation;
• What happened (but don’t let narrative detail crowd out analysis);
•• What the outcome was and whose interests were served;
• Why things turned out as they did – what would you do differently; • Quantify what you gained by negotiating.
***The last paragraph should identify and explain how much value you claimed/created by negotiating as opposed to if you had not negotiated and claimed your BATNA. (This point will be moot if you did not come to a negotiated agreement and did claim your BATNA. That is OKAY and will not reflect poorly on your grade!).
Include in your essay a critique of your own performance in the encounter: What could you have done differently to produce a better outcome? In reading and evaluating these papers, I will emphasize analysis over narrative. Tell me what happened, yes, but probe the reasons why the encounter went as it did using ideas and concepts about the structure and process of negotiation from the course. Think about the type of negotiation you are discussing and how it differs from other situations considered in this course and elsewhere. Don’t just say what tactics were used; say why and analyze their appropriateness. I will also look for evidence that you prepared for your “adversary” deliberately and thoughtfully. You will be graded not on the outcome of the negotiation itself, but on the quality of your analytical insight (using concepts developed in the course) into the process that occurred.
Details:
• The paper should be 4-5 double-spaced pages.
• Paper must be formatted with 1” margins all around and Times New Roman 12-point font. Papers not adhering to this format will lose a letter grade. Papers will be graded based on analyses as well as on grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
• Submit papers via Canvas. You must submit the assignment as an attached file..
Essay #3 Social Media EssayHow does social media (and your use .docx
Essay #3: Social Media Essay
How does social media (and your use of devices which allow you to access social media) affect your life, your relationships with friends and family, your experience and performance at school?
Write an essay in which you describe your experience with social media (either direct experience or what you've observed in friends/family). Discuss the effects of social media, and try to arrive at some conclusions that sum up your thoughts and feelings on this subject.
In your discussion, refer briefly to one or two of the authors we have read on this topic, using a relevant quotation (or paraphrase or summary). Incorporating ideas from these experts lets the reader know that you are a serious person and are aware of what other people are saying about this topic. It's also to give you some points to agree or disagree with. However, the focus of the essay should be on your ideas. This one is about you. The quotations or references to other authors are just to lend you a little credibility. (For examples, look at how Shirky and Pinker refer briefly to other published works.)
This is a reflective essay, not an argumentative essay, so you do not have to try to convince your reader to agree with your point of view. Cruser's "Cropped Out of My Own Fantasy" is probably the best example of the kind of essay you are meant to write, though yours should be more of an academic essay rather than a newspaper article.
For this essay, "social media" can refer to such services as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on, which are used to communicate and share information, ideas, updates, and life events with friends.
(Not a social media user? If you do not use social media, or if you were previously a user and have given it up, write about that. What is behind your decision not to engage? Did something happen? What is your reasoning? How does your non-use of social media affect your relationships with other people who do use it? Do you feel more or less connected, or differently connected? Explain. What are your thoughts about social media?)
Do not try to say everything you can think of about every kind of social media.
Do not simply summarize your experiences with social media. Choose examples for specific reasons.
Do not simply make a catalogue of "positive effects" and "negative effects."
Think about your experiences and think about what they mean. Use a couple of illustrative examples that you can describe in some detail and explore and explain. You might even choose just one major experience you have had (the time my life was saved/ruined by something that happened on Twitter!) and use that experience as a way into a meaningful exploration and discussion. Again: Cruser's "Cropped Out of My Own Fantasy" is probably the best example of the kind of essay you are meant to write, though yours should be more of an academic essay rather than a newspaper article.
Your grade will be based largely on the quality of your thinking. If you stick wi ...
LEADING SOCIAL CHANGE PERSONAL PAPER - 15 POINTS The final .docx
LEADING SOCIAL CHANGE PERSONAL PAPER - 15 POINTS
The final paper will focus on YOU as a leader – your values and beliefs, your own present or future
power and authority, your vision of social change, and your role as a possible agent of change.
There are several ways in which this can be written and presented, such as:
1. Your Wildest Dream: Write the paper as a description of your “wildest dream.” If you
could have your dream job or dream position in a group of people or an organization,
that could affect social change, what would it be and how would you see your role?
2. Personal Reflection Now If you want to be more pragmatic, you can write this paper
as an analysis of your present circumstances. You can describe a current work or social
situation that exists now and what tools and concepts you can use to achieve a
particular goal.
3. Evaluate PSU: You can apply all of the concepts we have used in class on a particular
department or program at PSU. This only is helpful if you are involved in the
department. Your view of mission statements, organizational structures, drivers and
leadership characteristics need to be described in detail.
4. Community of Change: If you do not want to write just about yourself, you may write
the paper from the point of view of a community. For example you can write about you
as a group of students or as a religious or social community. How can you as students
lead in the field of education or politics? This is a little trickier, but it can be very powerful
and perhaps more useful for you at this stage in your lives.
5. Team Presentation Topic: If you like, you can take the topics and concepts from your
team presentation and adapt them to your future role in social change. If you do so,
please let me know by Week 8!
The paper should include the following requirements/concepts.
o At least SIX pages in length:
! Double-spaced, 12-point font, proper margins.
! This does NOT include any pages used for diagrams, or org charts, etc.
o Your latest definition of leadership:
• It is fine to use someone else’s definition as long as you say whose it is and explain
why you like it in your own words.
o A description for the social change with which you would like to be involved:
! This can be very specific, but keep in mind that the change should be broadly social
in nature. not just a personal issue.
o A description of the field in which you would like to be involved and the change you
would like to see happen:
! Try to be as specific as possible. For example, don’t just say “Business,” but
perhaps investment banking or the restaurant business. Obviously, you may not
have a complete picture of this, but try to choose the most likely.
! This is not limited to your professional life. You could choose your social or even
personal life, i.e. family, hobbies, religious organizations, etc.
o A description of your relationship with others in the organizati ...

Commodities andConsumptionCommodities are products of social rel.docx
Commodities andConsumption
Commodities are products of social relations. That is, human beings produce them and they derive their value from human labor. Yet, once commodities hit the market, they become simple objects to be bought and sold. We usually do not know about where, how, by whom and under what specific work conditions these commodities are produced and how they find their places in the fancy stores from where we buy them. In this sense, commodities are objects that have “mysterious origins.” We live in a society in which identity is often constructed through acts of consumption. To put it simply, we are what we buy. We all buy commodities, attach meanings to them and make them a part of our material and symbolic life. For example, we love our shoes or sweaters; some love diamond rings or a gold necklace, or many of us just cannot live without chocolate or coffee. Although we know little about their origins, these commodities link us to people around the world who produce for us.
I want you to choose a commodity (diamonds, coffee, bananas, shoes, etc.) produced outside of the US, conduct research and write an essay that addresses these questions:
1) Where is the commodity produced? What corporate entity controls the production and distribution of that commodity?
2) Who are the people producing this commodity? Under what kind of work and health conditions do they produce?
3) Are there any negative impacts of the production of this commodity on the environment? If yes, what are the impacts and how do they harm the environment?
4) How does the commodity enter our life in the US? What does the commodity mean to us?
Step 1: Decide which commodity you will write on and pick one company and one country that produce this commodity. For example, if you select bananas, you must select one brand name (e.g. Chiquita) and one country of origin (e.g. Ecuador). Or, if you select diamonds, you should select one company (e.g. De Beers) and one country (e.g. South Africa).
Step 2: Go to a place where this commodity is sold and try to learn about some basic information about the commodity. You are lucky, if you find a person who is willing or has knowledge to answer your questions. I suggest being direct and clear about your intentions when talking to people. You can simply say that you are a student researching the production of a commodity. Ask for basic information about production and distribution systems and transportation networks. For example, if you are researching coffee production, is it produced on a plantation owned by the same company that imports it to the US? Or, is it grown by small farmers and sold to a centralized buyer who then sells it, say, to Folgers? This information should only provide the basic frame of reference for your paper and should NOT make up a major portion of your paper content. Don’t get discouraged if they don’t want to answer your questions, but think why they don’t deliver that information!
Step 3: Find the a.

1. Summary
Overview
Since this class is centered on the practice of working with the ideas of others and synthesizing those ideas into our own writing, it stands to reason that we should spend some time practicing the art of summary. This summary exercise will help you to improve your academic writing in several ways: First, this excercise will help you to find meaning within a given text and provide you with a better way of interpreting what the author is trying to say; secondly, this exercise will give you further practice in summarizing, paraphrasing, using quotations, and condensing ideas—skills that are essential to academic writing.
Remember that the purpose of this summary is not to relate your reaction to the reading; your role in this process is to simply convey the information in the reading in condensed form. Do not include personal opinion, personal judgments of the material, or personal narrative. Be brief, be as accurate as you can, and try to capture the complete sense of the reading in your summary.
Read and Summarize
Go to the resources tab and use the Ebscohost link to search for the following articles:

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. H.docx
Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it.
Aggression Case Study
Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation.
1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers).
2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario?
3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door?
4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember?

Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after rep.docx
“Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery. They had moved out of town but returned to our institution, where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs. Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs. Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few weeks.
The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform the family of their mother’s status.
One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs. Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a family whose members were affluent, educated, and well informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions. A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs. Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family developed a close relationship with the three nurses who consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details about Mrs. Walsh and her life.
The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged that involving family members in direct patient care with a critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is involved when nurses learn to work with families.
She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay for family members to be in the room when care is provided. She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do not need to be done right away to give the family some.

An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nur.

Geely to build satellites for self-driving cars - Financial Times (US), 3/4... https://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/FTUS/PrintArticle.aspx?d...

CHRISTIAN SHEPHERD — BEIJING
Geely is aiming to be the first China carmaker to design and build satellites to support its autonomous driving programme, the latest step by founder Li Shufu in his bid to build an industry leader.
Geely, which owns Swedish brand Volvo Cars, Malaysia’s Proton, and a stake in Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler, will invest Rmb2.27bn ($325m) in a new development centre and factory to manufacture satellites this year, the company said yesterday.
The announcement makes Geely the first known Chinese carmaker with plans to build its own satellites. Mr Li’s move sparked comparisons in China media with Elon Musk, founder of electric carmaker Tesla and private space exploration company SpaceX.
Last month Geely drew comparisons with Volkswagen when Mr Li’s holding group announced plans to merge Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars, moving the company towards becoming the first global Chinese carmaker.
Che Jun, Communist party boss of China’s eastern Zhejiang province, where Geely is based, said that the complex would be built in Taizhou city and that construction had begun.
The centre will design, test and manufacture low-orbit communication satellites, purpose-built to improve geolocation of vehicles and to support their connected functions, Geely said.
Geely has been pouring money into new technologies from self-driving cars to flying taxis, spending Rmb20bn on research and development in the past year.
The investments are part of the group’s spend on global expansion, such as buying a $9bn stake in Daimler.
The announcement comes as the coronavirus outbre.

Guidance for your two mini-papers:
What difference does social psychology make?
Follow this guidance to write two mini-papers for our course. Each mini-paper counts for
10% (up to 20 points) of your course grade, so that’s 20% of the course grade
altogether.
You’ll use each paper to explore a specific social psychological concept. Each paper will
be 900 to 1000 words, single spaced, with one inch margins. Papers will be graded
using a framework:
+ is like an A (this translates to 20 points in our 200-point system)
is like a B (16 points)
- is like a C (12 points),
and so on. I’d like to assign as many and + grades as possible, and if you plan
ahead, follow this guidance, and so on I believe you can do fine work on both your mini-
papers.
In each paper you will show that you know how a given concept in social psychology is
defined, describe how it relates to other social psych ideas, give an example how it
applies in real life, and describe what impact this knowledge makes.
In addition to your name and the usual info at the top of the document, your paper will
include:
(Section 1) Use this caption:
Concept: _____________ [fill in the blank with the name of the concept]
Name an established concept or theory from our social psychology text and/or
from classroom lecture. Don’t use Wikipedia, etc., for your concept – use our
class text and/or lecture notes. You may use any chapter of the text even if we’re
not covering that chapter this quarter.
Provide the definition of the concept or theory. Use quote marks and provide
the page number for the definition by adding an in-text citation like this: (Myers &
Twenge, 13/e, page xx). If you use another recent edition of the book, that’s fine,
just cite it appropriately (11/e or 12/e). It's also okay to copy a definition directly
from your lecture notes, but I still expect you to use quote marks and tell the date
of your notes in which you wrote the definition.
(Section 2) Use this caption:
Related ideas: __________[fill in the blank by naming the 2-3 related ideas]
Using your own words, connect this concept to 2-3 related ideas from our social
psychology textbook. You’ll probably need 5-6 sentences to do this. Use more
sentences if necessary to meet your 900-1000 word target for the paper overall.
Make it easy for us to tell what the related concepts are. Besides naming them in
the caption for the section you might underline them in the paragraphs.
2
(Section 3) Use this caption:
Factual example.
In your own words, describe a factual situation in your own life, in which you saw this
concept or theory at work. You might be recalling something that happened before you
knew the concepts, and you only realize the concept applies in retrospect – that’s okay..

Sociological Imagination Paper assignment
Writing exercise 1
April 16th, 4 PM
100 points
Objective: Practice thinking sociologically about your own life and the community around you.
Background: Sociological imagination is a phrase from sociologist C. Wright (The Promise). Mills was interested in how an average American understood his or her everyday life. He found that people’s understandings of the world are limited by the social situations they find themselves in, particularly their family, friends, schools, and workplaces. It is hard to see the larger picture and how your life fits in. Sociological imagination is a quality of mind that can be developed with conscientious practice, and that helps you understand the larger meanings of experiences. In particular, it helps you connect private troubles or choices to public issues, and to understand the influence of culture, socialization, stratification on your life and lives of others. To use the sociological imagination, it is important to pay attention to the social and historical context in which we find ourselves. This does not mean that the social context determines what happens to us entirely. Rather, our choices are shaped by the society we live in and larger forces.
Writing Assignment 1
Write 3 pages in which you apply the sociological imagination to your own life, or to the life of someone close to you. First, write about the situation without sociological imagination. Then, relate the situation to one or more concept, theory, or fact that we have covered in class so far. For example, you might write about how you perform gender in everyday life, how gender shapes your choices and options, or your first experience with racism. Or you might analyze assumptions about sexuality in how you were raised. Or you might think through what it means to have grown up poor, working, or middle class, etc.
Details:
· Introduce the concept of sociological imagination in your own words, and provide an overview of how you will apply it to the situation in your paper
· Describe the situation Include an explanation of what led up to the situation, specifics of the situation, how it has been resolved or how you think it might get resolved, who are the players involved, how you feel about the situation and why. Describe any choices that have been made or not made and why.
· Provide psychological, moral, evolutionary, or personal explanation(s) for the situation. In other words, how would you explain the situation without sociological imagination? For example, you might talk about how your struggles with weight are due to lack of willpower
· Use sociological imagination to explain the situation sociologically, connecting the personal to larger forces. Review class notes and readings to connect the situation to concepts or theories (week 3) we learned in class. You do not need to do outside research, but if you do use other s ...

Tips for EditorialsTips on Content of Letter· If a publicatio.docx
Tips for Editorials
Tips on Content of Letter:
· If a publication receives multiple letters on the same subject, the editor will choose one that says something in a new way or takes a unique angle.
· Focus your letter on one point on one subject. If you are commenting on a specific story in the paper, mention the headline and date. Cite the specific reference and sum it up in a sentence to refresh readers’ memories. Then point out facts that were left out, or refute or support facts that were stated.
· Be clear and concise. Shorter is better. Most papers want letters of 250 words or less. Magazines such as Time want even less.
· State your point early in the letter and support your point with facts.
· Know the audience of the publication. Technical information and long, multi-syllable words are often inappropriate for a general audience.
· If appropriate, mention your motivation or expertise in writing. For example, “As an Ohio State University student, I believe… and therefore x,” or “I am a director of a non-profit agency that serves families in poverty. Here is what my experience has been….That is why I believe y.”
General Logistical Tips:
Know and follow the policies and specifications of the publication to which you are submitting your letter. Except as noted, it is OK to send the same or similar letters to more than one publication. But don’t submit the same or similar letters to multiple papers in the same media market.
Always include your name, address, and daytime telephone number.
Don’t send specifically local letters to other localities.
General Tips:
Avoid clichés, name-calling, slang, and repetition.
Check your letter for grammar and fluidity, read it out loud to make sure the thoughts flow well.
Give it a catchy title.
How do you write a letter to the editor?
1. Begin the letter with a simple salutation.
Don’t worry if you don’t know the editor’s name. A simple, “To the Editor of the Lantern” is sufficient. If you have the editor’s name, however, you should use it to increase the possibility of your letter being read.
2. Grab the reader’s attention.
Get attention right away; your opening sentence is very important. It should make the reader want to read more.
3. Explain what the letter is about at the start.
Throughout your letter, remember the rule:
Be quick,
Be concise, and then
Be quiet.
Don’t make the editor or the general public wait to find out what you want to say. Tell them your key point at the beginning.
4. Explain why the issue is important.
If you are motivated enough to write a letter to a newspaper or magazine, the importance of your topic may seem clear to you. Remember, though, that the general public probably doesn’t share your background or the interest. Explain the issue and its importance simply. Use plain language that most people will understand.
5. Give evidence for any praise or criticism.
If you are writing a letter discussing a past or pending action, be clear in showing why ...
Real World Negotiation Assignment Your task is to go out there (.docx
Real World Negotiation Assignment
Your task is to go out there (bravely) into the dreaded “real world,” negotiate for something, and then write a paper about it. You can choose or create an opportunity to negotiate something for which you might normally not negotiate or for which you did not intend to negotiate at this point in time. Completed negotiations from the recent or distant past are not eligible.
A wide variety of contexts and potential transactions are fair game, including but not limited to retail consumer encounters, landlord-tenant interactions, personal or family conflict situations, disputes with teachers, fellow students, law enforcement officials, university administrators, etc. A job negotiation is okay if it is going to start and conclude between the beginning of the semester and the due date for this assignment.
The key requirement is that the situation is real with actual costs and outcomes turning on the encounter (although the magnitude of costs and benefits can be relatively small).
Your essay about the experience should, at a minimum, address (also, see rubric chart below): • How you prepared for the negotiation;
• What happened (but don’t let narrative detail crowd out analysis);
•• What the outcome was and whose interests were served;
• Why things turned out as they did – what would you do differently; • Quantify what you gained by negotiating.
***The last paragraph should identify and explain how much value you claimed/created by negotiating as opposed to if you had not negotiated and claimed your BATNA. (This point will be moot if you did not come to a negotiated agreement and did claim your BATNA. That is OKAY and will not reflect poorly on your grade!).
Include in your essay a critique of your own performance in the encounter: What could you have done differently to produce a better outcome? In reading and evaluating these papers, I will emphasize analysis over narrative. Tell me what happened, yes, but probe the reasons why the encounter went as it did using ideas and concepts about the structure and process of negotiation from the course. Think about the type of negotiation you are discussing and how it differs from other situations considered in this course and elsewhere. Don’t just say what tactics were used; say why and analyze their appropriateness. I will also look for evidence that you prepared for your “adversary” deliberately and thoughtfully. You will be graded not on the outcome of the negotiation itself, but on the quality of your analytical insight (using concepts developed in the course) into the process that occurred.
Details:
• The paper should be 4-5 double-spaced pages.
• Paper must be formatted with 1” margins all around and Times New Roman 12-point font. Papers not adhering to this format will lose a letter grade. Papers will be graded based on analyses as well as on grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
• Submit papers via Canvas. You must submit the assignment as an attached file..
Essay #3 Social Media EssayHow does social media (and your use .docx
Essay #3: Social Media Essay
How does social media (and your use of devices which allow you to access social media) affect your life, your relationships with friends and family, your experience and performance at school?
Write an essay in which you describe your experience with social media (either direct experience or what you've observed in friends/family). Discuss the effects of social media, and try to arrive at some conclusions that sum up your thoughts and feelings on this subject.
In your discussion, refer briefly to one or two of the authors we have read on this topic, using a relevant quotation (or paraphrase or summary). Incorporating ideas from these experts lets the reader know that you are a serious person and are aware of what other people are saying about this topic. It's also to give you some points to agree or disagree with. However, the focus of the essay should be on your ideas. This one is about you. The quotations or references to other authors are just to lend you a little credibility. (For examples, look at how Shirky and Pinker refer briefly to other published works.)
This is a reflective essay, not an argumentative essay, so you do not have to try to convince your reader to agree with your point of view. Cruser's "Cropped Out of My Own Fantasy" is probably the best example of the kind of essay you are meant to write, though yours should be more of an academic essay rather than a newspaper article.
For this essay, "social media" can refer to such services as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on, which are used to communicate and share information, ideas, updates, and life events with friends.
(Not a social media user? If you do not use social media, or if you were previously a user and have given it up, write about that. What is behind your decision not to engage? Did something happen? What is your reasoning? How does your non-use of social media affect your relationships with other people who do use it? Do you feel more or less connected, or differently connected? Explain. What are your thoughts about social media?)
Do not try to say everything you can think of about every kind of social media.
Do not simply summarize your experiences with social media. Choose examples for specific reasons.
Do not simply make a catalogue of "positive effects" and "negative effects."
Think about your experiences and think about what they mean. Use a couple of illustrative examples that you can describe in some detail and explore and explain. You might even choose just one major experience you have had (the time my life was saved/ruined by something that happened on Twitter!) and use that experience as a way into a meaningful exploration and discussion. Again: Cruser's "Cropped Out of My Own Fantasy" is probably the best example of the kind of essay you are meant to write, though yours should be more of an academic essay rather than a newspaper article.
Your grade will be based largely on the quality of your thinking. If you stick wi ...
LEADING SOCIAL CHANGE PERSONAL PAPER - 15 POINTS The final .docx
LEADING SOCIAL CHANGE PERSONAL PAPER - 15 POINTS
The final paper will focus on YOU as a leader – your values and beliefs, your own present or future
power and authority, your vision of social change, and your role as a possible agent of change.
There are several ways in which this can be written and presented, such as:
1. Your Wildest Dream: Write the paper as a description of your “wildest dream.” If you
could have your dream job or dream position in a group of people or an organization,
that could affect social change, what would it be and how would you see your role?
2. Personal Reflection Now If you want to be more pragmatic, you can write this paper
as an analysis of your present circumstances. You can describe a current work or social
situation that exists now and what tools and concepts you can use to achieve a
particular goal.
3. Evaluate PSU: You can apply all of the concepts we have used in class on a particular
department or program at PSU. This only is helpful if you are involved in the
department. Your view of mission statements, organizational structures, drivers and
leadership characteristics need to be described in detail.
4. Community of Change: If you do not want to write just about yourself, you may write
the paper from the point of view of a community. For example you can write about you
as a group of students or as a religious or social community. How can you as students
lead in the field of education or politics? This is a little trickier, but it can be very powerful
and perhaps more useful for you at this stage in your lives.
5. Team Presentation Topic: If you like, you can take the topics and concepts from your
team presentation and adapt them to your future role in social change. If you do so,
please let me know by Week 8!
The paper should include the following requirements/concepts.
o At least SIX pages in length:
! Double-spaced, 12-point font, proper margins.
! This does NOT include any pages used for diagrams, or org charts, etc.
o Your latest definition of leadership:
• It is fine to use someone else’s definition as long as you say whose it is and explain
why you like it in your own words.
o A description for the social change with which you would like to be involved:
! This can be very specific, but keep in mind that the change should be broadly social
in nature. not just a personal issue.
o A description of the field in which you would like to be involved and the change you
would like to see happen:
! Try to be as specific as possible. For example, don’t just say “Business,” but
perhaps investment banking or the restaurant business. Obviously, you may not
have a complete picture of this, but try to choose the most likely.
! This is not limited to your professional life. You could choose your social or even
personal life, i.e. family, hobbies, religious organizations, etc.
o A description of your relationship with others in the organizati ...

Commodities andConsumptionCommodities are products of social rel.docx
Commodities andConsumption
Commodities are products of social relations. That is, human beings produce them and they derive their value from human labor. Yet, once commodities hit the market, they become simple objects to be bought and sold. We usually do not know about where, how, by whom and under what specific work conditions these commodities are produced and how they find their places in the fancy stores from where we buy them. In this sense, commodities are objects that have “mysterious origins.” We live in a society in which identity is often constructed through acts of consumption. To put it simply, we are what we buy. We all buy commodities, attach meanings to them and make them a part of our material and symbolic life. For example, we love our shoes or sweaters; some love diamond rings or a gold necklace, or many of us just cannot live without chocolate or coffee. Although we know little about their origins, these commodities link us to people around the world who produce for us.
I want you to choose a commodity (diamonds, coffee, bananas, shoes, etc.) produced outside of the US, conduct research and write an essay that addresses these questions:
1) Where is the commodity produced? What corporate entity controls the production and distribution of that commodity?
2) Who are the people producing this commodity? Under what kind of work and health conditions do they produce?
3) Are there any negative impacts of the production of this commodity on the environment? If yes, what are the impacts and how do they harm the environment?
4) How does the commodity enter our life in the US? What does the commodity mean to us?
Step 1: Decide which commodity you will write on and pick one company and one country that produce this commodity. For example, if you select bananas, you must select one brand name (e.g. Chiquita) and one country of origin (e.g. Ecuador). Or, if you select diamonds, you should select one company (e.g. De Beers) and one country (e.g. South Africa).
Step 2: Go to a place where this commodity is sold and try to learn about some basic information about the commodity. You are lucky, if you find a person who is willing or has knowledge to answer your questions. I suggest being direct and clear about your intentions when talking to people. You can simply say that you are a student researching the production of a commodity. Ask for basic information about production and distribution systems and transportation networks. For example, if you are researching coffee production, is it produced on a plantation owned by the same company that imports it to the US? Or, is it grown by small farmers and sold to a centralized buyer who then sells it, say, to Folgers? This information should only provide the basic frame of reference for your paper and should NOT make up a major portion of your paper content. Don’t get discouraged if they don’t want to answer your questions, but think why they don’t deliver that information!
Step 3: Find the a.

1. Summary
Overview
Since this class is centered on the practice of working with the ideas of others and synthesizing those ideas into our own writing, it stands to reason that we should spend some time practicing the art of summary. This summary exercise will help you to improve your academic writing in several ways: First, this excercise will help you to find meaning within a given text and provide you with a better way of interpreting what the author is trying to say; secondly, this exercise will give you further practice in summarizing, paraphrasing, using quotations, and condensing ideas—skills that are essential to academic writing.
Remember that the purpose of this summary is not to relate your reaction to the reading; your role in this process is to simply convey the information in the reading in condensed form. Do not include personal opinion, personal judgments of the material, or personal narrative. Be brief, be as accurate as you can, and try to capture the complete sense of the reading in your summary.
Read and Summarize
Go to the resources tab and use the Ebscohost link to search for the following articles:
· Friedman, T. L., & Mandelbaum, M. (2011). America really was that great (but that doesn't mean we are now). Foreign Policy, (189), 76-78. ‘ARTICLE IS BELOW ON PAGE 3 OF THIS WORD DOCUMENT’
Your summary should meet the following guidelines:
...
Doing a literature review
The document discusses undertaking literature reviews for research projects. It notes that literature reviews are often weak aspects of student work due to insufficient time and poor execution. It emphasizes the importance of literature reviews for situating a research topic within a field of existing knowledge and avoiding unintentional plagiarism. The document outlines the process of conducting a systematic literature review, including defining the research topic, identifying relevant search terms, searching academic databases, and collating sources. It stresses evaluating sources based on type and reviewing hierarchy to ensure the use of appropriate academic texts.

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. H.docx
Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it.
Aggression Case Study
Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation.
1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers).
2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario?
3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door?
4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember?

Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after rep.docx
“Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery. They had moved out of town but returned to our institution, where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs. Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs. Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few weeks.
The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform the family of their mother’s status.
One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs. Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a family whose members were affluent, educated, and well informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions. A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs. Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family developed a close relationship with the three nurses who consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details about Mrs. Walsh and her life.
The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged that involving family members in direct patient care with a critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is involved when nurses learn to work with families.
She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay for family members to be in the room when care is provided. She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do not need to be done right away to give the family some.

Please provide rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide a citation for your answers. Deadline: CASE STUDY:
An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nur.

Geely to build satellites for self-driving cars - Financial Times (US), 3/4... https://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/FTUS/PrintArticle.aspx?d...
Automobiles
CHRISTIAN SHEPHERD — BEIJING
Geely is aiming to be the first China carmaker to design and build satellites to support its autonomous driving programme, the latest step by founder Li Shufu in his bid to build an industry leader.
Geely, which owns Swedish brand Volvo Cars, Malaysia’s Proton, and a stake in Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler, will invest Rmb2.27bn ($325m) in a new development centre and factory to manufacture satellites this year, the company said yesterday.
The announcement makes Geely the first known Chinese carmaker with plans to build its own satellites. Mr Li’s move sparked comparisons in China media with Elon Musk, founder of electric carmaker Tesla and private space exploration company SpaceX.
Last month Geely drew comparisons with Volkswagen when Mr Li’s holding group announced plans to merge Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars, moving the company towards becoming the first global Chinese carmaker.
Che Jun, Communist party boss of China’s eastern Zhejiang province, where Geely is based, said that the complex would be built in Taizhou city and that construction had begun.
The centre will design, test and manufacture low-orbit communication satellites, purpose-built to improve geolocation of vehicles and to support their connected functions, Geely said.
Geely has been pouring money into new technologies from self-driving cars to flying taxis, spending Rmb20bn on research and development in the past year.
The investments are part of the group’s spend on global expansion, such as buying a $9bn stake in Daimler.
The announcement comes as the coronavirus outbre.

Motivations to Support Charity-Linked Events After Exposure to.docx
Motivations to Support Charity-Linked Events After Exposure to
Facebook Appeals: Emotional Cause Identification and Distinct
Self-Determined Regulations
Kaspar Schattke
Université du Québec à Montréal
Ronald Ferguson and Michèle Paulin
Concordia University
Nonprofit organizations are increasingly dependent on the involvement of Millennial
constituencies. Three studies investigated their motivations to support charity-linked
events: emotional identification with a cause, self-determination theory (SDT) regula-
tions, and context-related Facebook promotions. This article addresses the recent call to
expand SDT research from a simple analysis of autonomous versus controlled moti-
vation, to studying the effects of all the regulations in the SDT continuum, in particular,
the inclusion of the tripartite dimensions of intrinsic motivation and integrated moti-
vation. Results demonstrated that the greater the emotional identification with the
cause, the stronger was the tendency to support the charity-linked event. Also, the
results in these social media contexts revealed that specific intrinsic dimensions (e.g.,
experience stimulation) are motivators of online and offline support, as is the personal
value nature of integrated regulation. Whereas only autonomous motivational regula-
tions predicted support for the two events organized specifically a for charitable causes,
both autonomous and controlled regulations predicted support of a for-profit event
organized with a charitable cause as an adjunct. These findings can assist practitioners
in designing more effective social media communications in support of charity-linked
events.
Keywords: social media, self-determination theory, integrated regulation, tripartite
model of intrinsic motivation, charitable causes
Supplemental materials: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/mot0000085.supp
Social media is a new domain offering excit-
ing opportunities to investigate research ques-
tions in social psychology (Greitemeyer, 2011;
Kende, Ujhelyi, Joinson, & Greitemeyer, 2015).
Our research examined motivation to support
charity-linked events of nonprofit organizations
that are currently faced with increased compe-
tition for resources and declining government
support (Paulin, Ferguson, Jost, & Fallu, 2014;
Reed, Aquino, & Levy, 2007; White & Peloza,
2009). Presently, they depend on an ageing set
of traditional supporters (Urbain, Gonzalez, &
Le Gall-Ely, 2013). However, their future suc-
cess lies in ensuring the sustainable involve-
ment of the Millennial generation (Fine, 2009),
distinguished from other generations by their
intense exposure at an early age to interactive
technology and social media (Bolton et al.,
2013).
Facebook, the most detailed social media, is
used primarily to maintain or solidify existing
offline relationships allowing people to develop
a public or semipublic profile and to emotion-
ally participate with those whom they can share

Monica asked that we meet to see if I could help to reduce the d.docx
Monica asked that we meet to see if I could help to reduce the differences between them. When the time came, she started the conversation by saying that Richard wasn’t saving any money at all. They hadn’t started implementing. She said he spent a good deal of time buy- ing and selling stocks. He seemed to be influenced by the weekly ups and downs of the market. At least temporarily, however, he had raised the quality of the stocks he was buying.
Richard seemed a little annoyed and said that Monica never wanted to sell any securities. She almost always told him to wait. She said the shares would come back. When I asked what money meant to them, Richard said an opportunity to gamble and Monica replied a chance to lose what you’ve accumulated. As far as their long-term goals were concerned, Richard said he had no real long-term goals. The future was too fickle. He said who knew what fate had in store for them. Monica’s goal was to feel secure. I had the feeling that her remark was in response to Richard’s behavior. She wouldn’t allow herself to think of anything beyond security until Richard’s activities could be controlled.
Case Application Questions
1. What should be done about Richard’s spending?
2. What kind of investment behavior is Richard demonstrating?What can be done about it? 3. What is Monica’s investment behavior called? How can it be helped?
4. Contrast their two views of money. Do you have any recommendations?
5. How can Monica’s fears be dealt with?

Week 5 Roots of RevolutionConsider the role of revolution in go.docx
- 1. Week 5: Roots of Revolution Consider the role of revolution in governmental structure and culture. Provide an example from the reading for the week or your experience visiting the National Archives to explain the relationship between philosophy and political action. _________________________ From student CA Dear Professor and class, When thinking about “revolutions”, and the true meaning of the word, I feel that it represents desire, and a driving force to achieve a goal. With this in mind, we can easily use the example of America battling for freedom against British rule. America was upset over the taxes that Britain was forcing on them, and many of the laws that benefited Britain and made life harder for Americans. In the reading, Peter Gay describes this period of revolution as “freedom from arbitrary power, freedom of speech, freedom of trade, freedom to realize one’s talents, freedom of aesthetic response, freedom, in a word, of moral man to make his way in the world.” (Sayre, 2013). What all revolutions have in common, contemporary ones and those in the past, is resistance to a perceived tyranny. It makes a big difference if the tyranny is seen as an imposition from outside, as it was in America in 1776, and in this century, in India and elsewhere, or if the tyranny is seen to reside in an internal structure, as in France in the 18th century and Russia and China in the 20th. The purpose of all revolutionaries, nevertheless, is to achieve power. According to Sayre., H. M. (2013). The American Declaration of Independence is one of the Enlightenment’s boldest assertions of freedom. In some instances, it may suffice simply to shift power to local hands and leave the social order essentially unchanged. This is what happened in the American Revolution. In others - as was the case in France and Russia - power is redistributed and the society is turned upside down. The more familiar kind of Latin
- 2. American upheaval, the palace coup where a leader is removed from power by the people who have worked with him or her. Reference: Sayre, H. M. (2013). Discovering the humanities (2nd ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. Type of Assignment: Office Email (Informal) Length ... Three paragraph format Assignment Format ... Submit assignment as an attachment ... Word Document ____________________________________________ Helpful Hints ... Same Writing Approach ... One of my favorite books that I use here at Limestone. The author does a great job outlining an approach to effective writing. Systematic process that applies to most all type of letters. The approach of all writing is Pre-writing (goal of message and identify the audience), Writing (composing the message in a 3-paragraph format) and Editing (reviewing and making message brief and effective). For Emails Start with a attention-grabbing Subject Line ... create a reason for the reader to read the email (be professional) P1 ... include intro and specific reason or request. P2 ... details and facts of the first paragraph. P3 ... follow up with time, dates and resolution. Select one of the scenarios below and write an email. Hints above and many examples in MindTap * A new customer has requested product information. They are interested in doing business with our company. They have also requested quotations on two products. * American Red Cross Blood Drive is coming up in two weeks. Typically your department has had limited participation with this type of activity. * The company has implemented a no smoking policy for all
- 3. employees. Smoking is not permitted on company property. * The company is creating a special work team to improve customer complaints and improve response time to customer complaints. Your department is one of the primary departments that come in contact with our customers. * The information for new health care benefits is available for 2012. Human Resource department has requested that all employees attend the meeting. Employees have been skipping the meeting and then coming to HR department with many questions … very inefficient process. * One of your employees has been recognized in the community for outstanding charity work. The company has made a $1000 donation to recognize the job well done by your employee. * Monthly budgets are out. You need to review the results of your department and make corrections to the areas that are over budget. * You have just recently hired another employee for your department. The employee will work closely with customer service and customer complaints. Assignment: Research Current Events - Final Draft (Formal) Points: 30 Assignment Response / Format ... Attachment (Word Document) 4 pages min ... Formatted APA/MLA ____________________________________________ Now it is time to bring the final copy together ... using the feedback from your rough draft and tips from our book. This is also an opportunity to "enhance" your paper ... see comments below. Final Draft Tips * Address my feedback and comments from rough draft * Add an "attention-grabbing" title to your paper * APA / MLA formatting ... page numbers, title block, running
- 4. headers (APA), in-text citations, works cited / reference page. The templates in the research folder will show your the proper format. * Double check your grammar, spelling, punctuation, noun/verbs, margins, font, indentions, spacing, and get rid of the "things" * Use the feedback from the word processors ... the green and red squiggly lines are good at showing errors in your paper. Enhancements Here are examples how you can improve the readability and enhance your paper. 1) add bullets and number lists, where appropriate 2) add Level 1 and Level2 headers to break up the text ... for this paper you can probably add 3-5 headers. Follow the APA/MLA guidelines for headers, titles and sub-headers. Don't over do it. 3) add supporting graphs and charts where appropriate 4) Shorter paragraphs and shorter sentences to assist with readability Feedback from Roughdraft Thanks for your submission. Great topic, professionally written and organized. Title page and Reference page is correct following the APA style. Great job explaining your topic, outlining what the paper will be covering, and using examples. Just remember to proofread again before sending the final draft. Great job! Remember to list all authors' names when you first cite their work and then use the one author's name with et al. thereafter.
- 5. Due August 17th Two-part assignment ... Part 1 - Go to the job search sites ... Yahoo Jobs, Career Builder, LinkedIn, Monster, or your company's website and find a job that would be the next step in your career path. If you are currently not working, send the job you would like to pursue. Include the link of the position your are looking at. Part 2 - Write a cover letter for this open position. Follow the guidelines from the book ... 3-paragraph format. P1 - Request and Job info … where found. P2 - Details of position with emphasis of connecting your resume/skills to the open position P3 - Contact info and follow-up Tips ... Several great examples of cover letters in the MindTap area this week. · Remember the "you-view" ... NOT: I have skills and need a job ... YES: I can be an asset to your company, make contributions to your organization, etc. · Remember ... your contact info, preferably in P3 ... email address, phone number · Finally ... do not write: "possibly" "maybe" "hope" ... be confident and positive · Paragraph 2 needs to highlight your skills and connect it to the verbiage written in the job posting · FYI ... every cover letter must be customized; standard form letter will not get the job
