Read my classmate post. Think and write your thoughts and feelings about his post. (1 page)

                                                   Classmate’s Post

I remember the first lesson/talk I gave in church. I was eight years old, and I was giving a short address on the Holy Spirit. I remember standing in front of my peers and speaking into the microphone while I gripped the podium with all my energy. I made it around one minute into my talk, and then I remember everything going dark.

As the legend goes, I began to slur my words as I stepped back away from the podium. Teachers and my peers thought I was too shy and was stepping back to sit in my chair. Instead, I slumped over and landed flat on the ground. The room was filled with screams, the heavens fell, and my teacher panicked and ran out of the room to fetch my parents.

After thirty seconds or so, the room fell silent as they watched me start to move and then give a huge smile on my face. Inside my head, I did not know that I had passed out. I remember feeling warmth wrap my entire body. I remember feeling the most overwhelming love as the warmth enveloped my whole body. Then I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the ground in front of the entire class.

My story has been at the forefront of my mind each time I preach or teach the gospel to investigators. In a way, my experience is an example of the learning cycle many of us go through. As I read the assigned chapters of this story, again, the story kept entering my mind. This is especially true for chapter 4 when the author wrote, “Not once in Scripture do we find Jesus saying, “Our lesson for today is Leviticus, scroll 3.” His teaching flowed out of the needs of the people He taught. It flowed out of the problem situations they presented. It flowed out of the real crises of life.”

As investigators approach the church, I know they are nervous and doing the best they can. However, often their desire to learn is met with unforeseen difficulties. As a teacher, I do everything I can to bring the spirit into the lessons to feel the overwhelming love from our Lord Jesus Christ. I know that if I can facilitate and guide the investigator to allow the spirit to reside. Then the Holy Spirit will do the teaching.

That is why I enjoyed chapter four so much. It renewed my feelings of respect and love for the way Jesus Christ taught. I especially appreciated the idea that “Jesus taught people more than lessons.” In my faith tradition, our missionaries traditionally memorized several lesson plans before entering the mission field. When they found an investigator, they would go to lesson 1-10, making sure they did not skip any class. Each lesson had flip charts, assigned scriptures, and scripted parts.

Even though this approach found success, it became evident that it did not allow for personalized lessons. It also left the missionaries at a loss when they were approached with questions outside the lesson plans. In the words of chapter four, we discovered that “the prime emphasis of disciplers is the people in the chairs, not the lines in the lesson. God’s Word is Truth. But it becomes “truth that matters to me” for learners as it intersects learners where they live.”

Jesus Christ taught this way because He is more interested in our character’s content than the content of the mind. As the author puts it, “The Pharisees knew their content,” but “[t]heir religion was a superficial, technical, external show of rote actions and memorized rules, a tedious rule book that led them to become sanctimonious faultfinders.” However, “Jesus was more interested in internal character than external show. Character focuses on the head: knowing what God has said and understanding what He expects.”

The assigned reading has helped me reaffirm the need to focus on the learner as Jesus did. Likewise, I know the learner must be led to the Holy Spirit to be truly converted to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He will teach, enlighten, and confirm. Then the true change will occur.

final paper

/in /by

Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review the Narrowing a Topic and Developing a Research Question (Links to an external site.) web page and Integrating Research (Links to an external site.) tutorial. These resources will help you in developing a topic.

It is also recommended that you review these tutorials from the Ashford University Library:

You may also want to review the Sample Final Paper GEN499, so that you can start preparing your rough draft that is due in Week 4.

Reflect: When considering a research topic, consider an interesting topic that is worth further research. For instance, having a strong opinion on a specific topic may deter you from thinking more critically, and therefore the research might end up being one-sided. It is a good idea to pick a topic in which you can provide a good argument for both sides of the societal issue.

Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts:

  • Identify a global societal issue from the following list that you would consider researching further for your Week 5 Final Paper:
    • Climate change
    • Pollution
    • Religious conflict and violence
    • Rise of artificial intelligence
    • Lack of education
    • Unemployment and lack of economic opportunity
    • Government accountability and corruption
    • Food and water security
    • International drug trafficking
    • Poverty and income inequality
  • Describe effective methods you used in identifying and narrowing down to just one of the topics to further research for your Final Paper.
  • Explain three ways you can critically analyze sources to determine if they are scholarly.
  • Summarize information from at least two scholarly journal articles from the Ashford University Library that will support your claims for your chosen topic.
  • Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.
  • Download and attach a PDF copy of one of the peer-reviewed scholarly articles that you found from the Ashford University Library to your answer using the “Attach” function located below your response.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough response to each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable required reading materials and/or any other outside sources you use to support your claims. Provide full reference entries of all sources cited at the end of your response. Please use correct APA format when writing in-text citations (see In-Text Citation Helper (Links to an external site.)) and references (see Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.)).

case study-public safety field

/in /by

Find a example of a high profile incident in which the actions and/or decisions of one or more individuals in the public safety field left citizens questioning the ethics of the action/decision and write a case study about that incident.

  • Your study should address at least the following:
    • Who were the stakeholders potentially impacted by the actions/decisions.
    • What arguments might those involved have made that their actions were ethical
      • Be sure to consider various ethical frameworks when considering this question–for example:
        • From a utilitarian perspective he or she might have argues that…
        • From a deontological perspective he or she might argue…
        • Considering virtue ethics, he or she might argue…
    • Explain why the actions made were or were not ethical.  Be sure to explain the academic definition you’re using as a baseline for this part of the discussion
    • How different actions by public safety administrators may have shaped the outcome of the incident or the perception of the public concerning either the ethics of the decision and/or the appropriateness of the organization’s reaction to it. For example (not all inclusive), might better hiring standards or increased ethical training have impacted the situation–might more swift action to support or condemn the individual(s) had a positive impact on the public’s perception of the individual(s) or organization.

The body of the Case Study shall be 8-10 pages, excluding other material such as the cover page, abstract, table of contents, graphics and tables, and references.

The Case Study Paper shall contain:

  • Cover Page
  • Abstract
  • Body of Paper (8-to-10 pages)

  • 12 point font, either New Times Roman or Arial font style
  • Double spaced, making sure there are no “extra” spaces in between paragraphs
  • Properly formatted Section headings as appropriate

In the following descending order of preference, information sources must be either peer-reviewed articles, government reports, or other sources approved by your instructor. Internet information sources from other than authoritative sources are discouraged. The Case Study is worth 100 points and is 20% of your final grade. See the General Assignment grading rubric for more information.

Discussion question-Consent, Confidentiality, and Privileged Communication

/in /by

Consent, Confidentiality, and Privileged Communication can be tricky concepts in the profession of counseling particularly when working with minors. FIRST, define each term. SECOND, review the two vignettes below address points A and B below. I expect you all to have healthy debate around these issues.

You may need to review laws in the state where you hope to practice as the “age of consent” may vary by state based on the chronological age of the child and/or the reason why they are seeking treatment.

1. Susie (16-years-old) and Susie’s parents came in to discuss treatment with LMFT Mark. LMFT Mark reviewed his standard informed consent with both Susie and her parents, including a section on confidentiality which briefly mentioned reasons for a breach of confidentiality including “harm to self.” After the third session, Susie admitted to LMFT Mark that she was sexually active with a few different people in her high school, and that she smoked marijuana on weekends. LMFT Mark determined that this did not rise to the level of “harm to self” worthy of a breach of confidentiality but instead he would work with her clinically. After the fifth session, she told LMFT Mark that she had been “cutting” but never near an artery. LMFT Mark again determined not to breach confidentiality. After the seventh session, Susie told LMFT Mark that she had been drinking heavily, and had started blacking out at parties, waking up in strange beds (clearly having had sexual intercourse). LMFT Mark decided to tell Susie’s parents about the drinking and blackouts.
2.  LMFT Mable has been seeing Davey (5-years-old) for almost a year. Throughout the treatment, Davey has talked about his relationship with his parents and how their divorce makes him sad. Davey has indicated that while he loves his Mom, he likes spending time with his Dad more because his Dad doesn’t yell at him as much and Mom seems to always “be out.” Recently, Mom has called LMFT Mable and asked for a copy of Davey’s file so she can “use it in the custody battle.” LMFT Mable is not sure whether she is legally mandated to turn over the file to Mom. Also, she recently received a subpoena from Dad’s attorney for Davey’s file. LMFT Mable is not sure if she can legally or clinically should turn over the files.

A. Discuss whether or not, in your opinion, the therapist’s conduct is appropriate in the context of any and all laws, regulations, and ethical standards that may apply.

B. Explore any other options that are available to the therapist and any potential consequences of those options. Indicate what you believe to be the best course of action, in light of the applicable laws, regulations, and ethical standards.

Selecting And Organizing A Project

/in /by

[WLO: 2] [CLOs: 1, 2]

The senior management team has solicited your input on a project decision. They are trying to decide between two different projects that will need completed at the same time. The projects are discussed below:

Project 1: Kansas Data Center
MOTU INC. needs a new data center constructed and has selected some land they already own in Kansas.  The land had previously been used as a chemical manufacturing facility. It is estimated that you have a 30% chance of winning the bid on this project, however, before you can submit a bid you have to survey the land and propose system architecture for the facility. You anticipate that these activities will cost about $70,000. If the project goes well, your company will make a $250,000 profit.

Project 2: Florida Data Center
Remle and Company wants to build a data center in Florida on previously undeveloped land near the Everglades. You anticipate a 20% chance of winning this project and realizing a $175,000 profit.  A land survey and system design plan will cost about $60,000.

Either project would use the same personnel from your company:

  • Brad Jones: Architect in charge of facility design
  • Jason King: Enterprise architect who will design the IT systems
  • George Clipper: Network specialist who will design the networks for either facility
  • Lisa Carson and Dennis Albert: Project sponsors who sit on your company’s corporate board

It is rumored that Lisa wants the Florida project (Project 2) to move forward and that she owns some of the proposed land the project will use. Dennis, on the other hand, plays golf with the owner of MOTU INC. on occasion and thinks the Kansas project (Project 1) should move forward.

  • Select which project should move forward based on the EMV results and details above. Explain your rationale and methodology for the selection, showing your work to support your decision.
    • Support your explanation with at least 2 scholarly sources, in addition to the text.
    • Your explanation should be 250-500 words.
  • Build a communications plan for the selected project, addressing each of the following (refer to Table 10-1 for an example):
    • Stakeholders: Stakeholders who should be included in project communications
    • Document Name: Information to be communicated (e.g., content, and level of detail)
    • Document Format: How information will be delivered (e.g., meetings, hard copy, email)
    • Contact Person: The individual or individuals who should be contacted in escalation procedures.
    • Due: Frequency (e.g., Every Monday) and/or deadline of communication (e.g., June 1).
  • Create a risk register for the selected project containing at least 5 risks and mitigation strategies (refer to Table 11-5 for an example)
  • Create a stakeholder register for the selected project and power interest grid

Executive Summary: George Orwell, “Politics And The English Language”

/in /by

An executive summary, like an abstract, summarizes the content of a paper but in more detail. Whereas abstracts target readers who research, executive summaries targets readers who need some or all the information in the paper in order to make a decision. Many people will also read the executive summary in order to clearly understand the organization and results of a paper prior to reading the paper itself.

For the Executive Summary, you must pretend you are my Graduate Assistant, and I have asked you to read Orwell’s essay. You will write an Executive Summary that will indicate to me whether or not I should use the essay in a Political Science Graduate Seminar on the relationship between Politics and Language.

Requirements on Format:
1-2 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 font only (I will deduct points if your Summary exceeds 2 pages), and 1 inch margins.
2- Follow The Political Science Student Writer’s Manual for instructions on title pages (page 65); the summary begins after the title page, and your name should only be included on title page. No heading on the actual summary. For a sample executive summary, please consult page 67.

Tips for writing a strong, effective Executive Summary:
Be Brief: Since an Executive Summary is often intended for a policy maker, decision maker, or evaluator who may not have time to read the original, you must be brief but precise and detailed. Make sure to objectively include an accurate summary of the essay’s intent, approach to supporting its claim and reasons, evidence, and conclusion (do not offer an opinion on the argument itself!).

Be Clear: An Executive Summary should clearly describe the conclusions of the paper at the beginning (BLUF—Bottom Line Up Front) and offer (in one-two sentences) a recommendation at the end of its summary. The Executive Summary must never leave a reader confused as to the paper’s conclusions, significance, or implications for the future. Keep the structure simple and the language easily digestible; your prose needs to be accessible to the needs of the reader. Also remember to write properly and correctly (grammar and syntax) and only include that which is relevant to your task.
