Scenario: Culture, Psychology, and Community

Imagine an international organization has approached you to help resolve an inter-group conflict. You are an authority in cross-cultural psychology and have been asked to serve as a consultant based on a recent violent conflict involving a refugee community in your town and a local community organization. In the days, weeks, and months leading up to the violent conflict, there were incidents of discrimination and debates regarding the different views and practices people held about work, family, schools, and religious practice. Among the controversies has been the role of women’s participation in political, educational, and community groups.

 

Part 1: Developing an Understanding (2 pages)

  • Based on the scenario, explain how you can help integrate the two diverse communities so that there is increased understanding and appreciation of each group by the other group. (Note: Make sure to include in your explanation the different views and practices of cultural groups as well as the role of women.)
  • Based on your knowledge of culture and psychology, provide three possible suggestions/solutions that will help the community as a whole. In your suggestions make sure to include an explanation regarding group think and individualism vs. collectivism.

Part 2: Socio-Emotional, Cognitive, and Behavioral Aspects (2 pages)

  • Based on your explanations in Part 1, how do your suggestions/solutions impact the socio-emotional, cognitive, and behavior aspects of the scenario and why?

Part 3: Gender, Cultural Values and Dimensions, and Group Dynamics (2 pages)

  • Explain the impact of gender, cultural values and dimensions, and group dynamics in the scenario.
  • Further, explain any implications that may arise from when working between and within groups.

Instructions for Your Research Paper

1.   Your paper should be no longer than 10 full pages, including footnotes. It is harder to write a 10-page paper than it is to write a 15- or 20-page paper. You must be clear and avoid the filler that is often in longer papers. What is filler? Filler is extra “stuff” that just fills pages but adds little or no value to your paper.

2.   Introduction 

3.   Thesis Statement: Immediately after your introduction, you should present a clear thesis statement. In simplistic terms, a thesis statement is the main point of your paper that tells the reader what you intend to argue later in your paper. Your thesis should take a position on a debatable topic. The thesis statement should not be longer than two sentences, and normally one is sufficient.

4.   Road Map: Immediately after your thesis statement, provide a clear road-map to let the reader know where you are going with your paper. For example:  “My paper will first briefly explore . . . , followed by . . . .  Finally, I will defend my thesis by . . . .“   (And please be sure that your paper has a logical structure. The best way to do this is to outline it before you start to write it.)

5.   Background: Next, provide a brief but clear background of your topic. 

6.   Argument/Defending Your Thesis: Defending your thesis should be the meat of your paper. It is where you should focus your time and energy. Conclusory statements must be supported with research or analysis. I also suggest that you explain the arguments that proponents of the majority’s position or status quo use to support their position and then explain why it is wrong and your position is right. (Did they miss something? Misinterpret something? Overlook critical results or statistics?)

7.  Conclusion:  Pull your points together to draw a conclusion for your reader. 

Finally, a few other points:

Formatting:  Double-space your paper and use a 12 point font of your choice. Do not include a title page, abstract, endnotes, or bibliography/reference page.

 

 

Here is my attached Thesis please use this to to help with the paper.

describe two factors that might have contributed to the ethics or justice violation. Choose which of these you believe the primary factor is and explain why.

The news is rife with stories of corporations and other organizations breaching contracts, both written and unwritten, with employees. Business leaders may behave unethically but expect absolute honesty and high performance from subordinates. Companies may limit work hours or vacation days and other benefits while increasing workloads. Despite clearly defined ethical codes, guidelines, and mission statements that promote ethical and fair treatment of employees, many organizational leaders commit ethics violations that, in turn, affect employee motivation.

In general, perceptions of fairness and justice can have a powerful impact on employee work motivation. According to Colquitt, Wesson, Porter, Conlon, and Ng (2001), employees’ subjective perceptions of justice in organizational settings are classified into the following four types:

  • Distributive justice relates to the fairness of outcome distributions.
  • Procedural justice relates to employee perceptions of the fairness behind the processes of distribution.
  • Informational justice describes the extent to which decisions that affect employees are accurately communicated.
  • Interactional justice relates to whether employees perceive that they have been given a fair voice in decision making.

To prepare:

  • Using the Walden Library, the Internet, and other news sources, research and select an organization that has been cited for either an ethics or a justice violation (Wells Fargo– articles attached)

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the (Wells Fargo)organization that you selected and the ethics or justice violation associated with the organization. Then, describe two factors that might have contributed to the ethics or justice violation. Choose which of these you believe the primary factor is and explain why. Then, explain how this primary factor might have influenced employee motivation.

Compare and contrast three different types of evaluations the forensic psychology professional is asked to perform in juvenile courts.

/in /by

In this assignment, you will focus on evaluations typically conducted for juvenile courts. Some specific purposes of these evaluations include informing the courts of the juvenile’s competency and treatment needs and aiding the courts in adjudication decisions. These evaluations also might help the courts determine appropriate sentences for juveniles charged with crimes. The evaluator has the challenging responsibility of presenting the evaluation results for these intended purposes.

Tasks:

Write a 3- to 4-page paper, including the following points:

  • A forensic psychology professional may be asked to conduct different types of juvenile court evaluations. Using the library resources and the Internet, research professional literature available on these evaluations. Professional literature may include relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov).
  • Identify and discuss the forensic psychology professional’s role in juvenile courts.
  • Compare and contrast three different types of evaluations the forensic psychology professional is asked to perform in juvenile courts.

Your paper should rely upon at least three sources from additional professional literature; the sources must be cited in APA format. Professional literature may include relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov).
