Assessment of current PAY policies – Let’s have a very brief analysis of current pay practices based on a news article or two. This could give us a good opportunity to highlight the unethical practices in terms of driver employees from a pay perspective (no health benefits, no salary and often achieve sub federal min-wage, etc) and try to put together a compensation package that addresses those in some way.

PROMPTS

Review the personality disorders discussed on pages 326 and 327 of the text at the end of chapter 12: Psychological Disorders. Using your imagination, create a fictional character who has one of the personality disorders discussed in chapter 12.

Identify and define the personality disorder you chose.
Write a paragraph describing what your character’s life is like living with the disorder. Use character examples to demonstrate understanding of the personality disorder and associated behaviors.

Define a vocabulary word or topic in Chapter 9: The Voyage Through the Lifespan related to one of the four major life stages: infancy, childhood, adolescence, or adulthood.
Write a paragraph using examples describing a time in your character’s life they experienced something associated with the topic you chose. Your character examples may be based in the past, present, or future.

3

Two parts:

Name and describe each level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs discussed in Chapter 8: Motivation and Emotion.
Describe what your character does to meet (or not meet) their needs at each level of Maslow’s Hierarchy. If any of their needs are not being met, what is inhibiting your character from getting their needs met / what do they need in order to meet their needs at each level?

4

Review the big five traits / five-factor model discussed on pages 269 and 270 in Chapter 10: Personality Theory and Measurement. Mental health experts use this model to understand a client’s personality and assess abnormal behavior for clinical purposes. Where do you think your character falls on each of the five scales? Describe example behaviors your character might demonstrate as it relates to the personality disorder and your interpretation of each scale (it is important to note that being high or low on any of the scales does not mean someone has a disorder nor does it mean being high is better than being low and vice versa):

5

Identify and describe a particular mental health issue your fictional character struggles with. How would a counselor or social worker work with your character? Choose a counseling theory from Chapter 13: Methods of Therapy, or from your APA paper, and write a paragraph describing counseling theory-specific techniques the counselor might use to help your character.

Mount Everest was formed about 60 million years ago. It is considered to be the world’s highest elevation at 8,850 metres or 29,035 feet (and increasing between 1 and 3 centimetres per year). The first ascent of Mount Everest was on May 29, 1953 by Sir Edmond Hillary of New Zealand and his sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, of Nepal. The highest cause of death on Mount Everest is avalanches, and many corpses remain on the mountain. In 1996 there was a major climbing disaster on Mount Everest. Eight climbers died. In 2014, an avalanche killed 16 people, most of whom were sherpas. On average five people die each year on this mountain.

Climbing Mount Everest in a sustainable manner means meeting the needs of existing climbers and the host region while protecting the environment and enhancing opportunities for the future. For this assignment:
Familiarize yourself with Mount Everest. Some resources you may wish to consult include but are not limited to the following:
National Geographic website at: http://www.nationalgeographic.com. Search for videos and / or articles about Mount Everest.
A TED talks lecture by Dr. Ken Kamler about the 1996 Mount Everest climbing disaster at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgqc2m7aBzs (22 minutes)
There are many views about climbing Mount Everest. One is that Mount Everest expeditions have become too commercialized, the negative impacts too great, and untrained individuals have no business climbing this mountain by paying their way up the mountain. Another view is that the mountain is there and anyone who has the financial and physical resources to attempt the climb should be able to do so. Clearly state your side of the argument and justify your position. Consider motivations for hard adventure activities, and positive and negative tourism benefits including financial, cultural and social aspects.
