Environmental Change And Community Health

/in /by

Regardless of ideology, overwhelming scientific evidence suggests that the environment is changing and humans have played a large part in creating this change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], 2007). Climate changes are predicted to have an enormous impact on the environment and global health, both directly and indirectly.

 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) maintains a Web site that discusses the impacts of these changes.

 

  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). (2011). Climate change—Health and environmental effects: Health. Retrieved from
    http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/effects/health.html

 

Using the left navigation menu on the EPA Web site listed above, select what you think is the most important issue that your generation needs to address—for example, agriculture and food supply or forests.

 

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and in particular the above link, respond to the following:

 

  • Identify the generation that you are from, for example, baby boomer, generation X, or generation Y.
  • Examine how the issue that you selected affects public health directly or indirectly. How did your generation contribute to this issue?
  • Briefly summarize how this issue came about. Explain what is predicted to happen as climate change continues with respect to the issue you have chosen. If you chose climate change as your issue, then discuss the predicted impact on health.
  • Research how this issue is currently being addressed. Do you think this is a good strategy, or can this issue be addressed in a better way?

 

Support your statements with scholarly and credible references as well as appropriate examples.

 

Write your initial response in approximately 350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

 

By Saturday, March 9, 2013, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, March 13, 2013, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Consider commenting on the following:

 

  • How do your priorities differ from those of your peers’ priorities?
  • Do you feel your generation has impacted the environment differently than your peers’ generation? How so?
  • What do think about your peers’ choice as the most important issue to be addressed?
  • How do you think this issue will change with the changing climate?
  • What is your opinion on the current solution that people are using to solve this issue?

Reaction Paper On Group Home Intern

/in /by

Instructions for Paper

 

Include the PSYC 499 Reaction Paper Grading Rubric with the completed assignment.

 

Your Reaction Paper needs to include the following to receive maximum credit:

1. Behaviors observed during the internship.

2. Theoretical explanations to support the behaviors observed.

3. Benefits of the internship.

4. Suggestions for your internship, future interns, people in the setting.

 

This is a Reaction Paper, not a Research Paper, so you do not have to include sources within your paper.  However, if you choose to consult any sources (i.e., agency publication, theories), you must use APA format when properly citing the sources in the text, and you must list the publication information of the sources on a References page.

 

The following are some common mistakes that you will avoid.  Most are according to the standards of appropriate formal writing; some are especially applicable to scientific thought and writing in APA style.

 

Technical writing

  • Use third person references.   Avoid “you” or “I” since this is a formal writing assignment.
  • Use formal language–no contractions or informal terms (“a lot”,”thing”,”hyper”).
  • Use past tense verbs to describe all findings—the events have already happened.
  • Match nouns, pronouns, verbs for singular/plural form, even though it is sometimes awkward to avoid gender issues (he/she, themselves).  Try using all plurals or alternating the singular gender reference.
  • Edit carefully for punctuation and grammatical constructions.  Christians must be articulate in order to be influential and persuasive.

 

Style

  • Include a title page in APA format with the name of the paper and your name, and the agency name.
  • Put a References page at the end, using hanging indent, if any sources have been cited.
  • Cite sources in the form (author, year).  Every source cited in the Paper must be in the References; every entry in the References must be cited in the Paper.
  • The paper may be a chronological account of your experience, a focus on a particular area of interest from the experience, or an analysis of how the experience has affected your perception of these clients.  Be careful to cover all areas in the Paper Evaluation adequately by using each bold term as a Paper heading for a section.

E.     Benefits of the Internship: Here you should describe the various benefits you have received through completing your internship.

F.     Suggestions for the Internship Agency, Future Interns, and Those in the Internship Setting: After discussing the benefits of the internship experience, please provide suggestions for the internship agency, future interns, and/or individuals you encountered at the internship agency. You do not need to address all three of these areas but you must provide some suggestions based upon your experience. You may address all three areas if you would like.

Explain what role management should play in workplace psychology.

/in /by

Ayame Nakamura, a Japanese immigrant, works as a project manager for a pharmaceutical company in California. The management style for this pharmaceutical is confrontational, which interferes with Ayame’s cultural background. This style of management makes it difficult for Ayame to receive feedback, which affects her motivation.

 

Write a 700- to 1,050- word paper.

 

Include the following:

 

·      Explain what role management should play in workplace psychology.

·      Explain how Ayame’s cultural background might affect the way she receives feedback.

·      Describe motivation techniques that could be implemented by management to increase Ayame’s motivation.

 

Use a minimum of two sources (includes the course text).  Note: Wikipedia, E-How, ask.com, and Internet Blogs are not considered valid sources for written papers.

Explain how the products may fit into Piaget’s stages of child development

/in /by
Baumrind (1966) described a set of parenting styles. Briefly describe these parenting styles. On the basis of the different parenting styles, explain which one would be most effective in promoting success in later life. Parents purchase a number of items (until preschool) to help their children get a head start in education. Locate a few unique educational products on the market and probe their claims about helping children grow cognitively. Explain how the products may fit into Piaget’s stages of child development. Justify your answers with appropriate reasoning and research from your text and course readings. Comment on the postings of at least two peers, and provide an analysis of each peer’s postings while also suggesting specific additions or clarifications for improving the discussion question response.
