1. Main Entry: Post a brief analysis of what you have learned from this week’s readings and activities. Clearly identify each segment of the required response in order to facilitate discussion development.
New Hit Miniseries: You are a scriptwriter and are creating a new character around which a new TV miniseries will be created. As you develop your character you think,
“Hmmm… their presence in the program should be rather “extreme” (i.e., their actions, behaviors, cognitions) in order to capture and hold the audience’s interest. In fact, the character should appear to qualify for diagnoses of a personality disorder – but hey, most folks don’t know what to look for so, this will give the character depth and intrigue.”
As you think this you receive a phone call. The director wants a 150 word or less character summary in one hour….
Share with us what you will present to the director: Include in your caricature:
1. Name of your character, gender, age, occupation, other relevant demographic or physical qualities.
2. A description of your character’s personality. Weave into the description specific affective, behavioral, and cognitive examples that point to the personality disorder you have selected for expression.
3. Offer relevant background information (family, history, favorite activities, habits).
4. Instant message your instructor the personality disorder you have selected. Your classmates are going to respond with what they think the character would be diagnosed with.

The path to reopening the country and the world during the COVID-19 pandemic has not been an easy one. One suggestion by lawmakers is utilizing a vaccine passport to prove one’s COVID vaccination status in order to travel, attend school, and enjoy entertainment. In a well-developed five-paragraph essay, offer reasons for why utilizing a vaccine passport to prove one’s COVID vaccination status in order to travel, attend school, and enjoy entertainment is or is not a good idea. Read the New York Times article Should people be required to show proof of vaccination? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/14/learning/should-people-be-required-to-show-proof-of-vaccination.html Refer to the opinion piece you read from the New York Times and find at least one quote to integrate into your essay as support to an idea you are asserting. Adhere to all MLA rules for quote formatting.

Look through popular news and other non-scholarly media sources to find articles related to psychology. Generally, these would end in a .com. Examples are Psychology Today, Good Housekeeping, etc.

The non-scholarly article must make an argument about a topic in psychology (NOT a synopsis of a study or news report of an incident).

In 1-2 pages, briefly
Identify the main points of the article ,
Describe the evidence used to support those points (not just the source of the evidence but the evidence itself) , and
Evaluate the article based on the overall quality of the evidence and how well the evidence supported the claims.
Explain whether you convinced by it. Why or why not?
Ensure academic-level writing (structure, organization, clarity, grammar, etc.). There is a 0.1 deduction for every error in grammar, punctuation, word choice, etc.
Utilize proper APA7 format for the submission (title page, abstract, headers, page numbers, in-text citations, reference page, etc.) for your assignment. Remember that for the reference page, you must use APA 7 format for electronic sources. There is a 0.1 deduction for every APA error.
Add a link to the article and properly formatted within-text APA7 citations and an APA7 reference page at end of the assignment.

We discussed the case, “PGA Tour, Inc. v. Martin” (page 406). Justice Stevens delivered the opinion of the majority. Justice Scalia had issues with the majority’s decision and wrote the dissent.

I would like you to address Justice Scalia’s issues with the majority’s decision, specifically:

The majority’s application of Title III and places of public accommodation for customers.
The majority’s “reasonable accommodation” argument.
How does Justice Scalia think the decision will impact those who may be disabled and those who manage sports properties/events
Requirements: 2-3 pages in length (11 pt font, Times New Roman, 1.5 line spacing, 1” margins).

I have attached the document to review the case. If you have any other questions please message me.

EXERCISE: FROM INTENT TO ACTION: THE PLANNING PATH
Select a specific healthcare organization that you know something about. If you are or have been employed in health care, use your employing organization. (Whether the example consists of your organization or another, there is no need to specifically identify it.) You may use a hospital, nursing home, health center, rehabilitation service, surgicenter, urgent care center, or any of a number of other health settings. Assume you are a department manager within your chosen setting.
For your chosen organization:
1. Write a mission statement for the organization—a concise yet appropriately descriptive of why the organization exists.
2. Consistent with the organization’s mission as expressed in this mission statement, develop a statement of philosophy for your department.
3. Write one major policy that supports this philosophy.
4. Write two or three specific procedures that express aspects of the policy from Question 3 as instructions for action (keeping in mind that a policy is ordinarily a statement of what is to be done, and a procedure consists of how it should be done).

Answer the questions: What is the difference between first order and second order ethics? How does metaphysics differ from epistemology? Why is intentional action and free will of such importance to ethics? Cite from the book to back up your answer.
Reading: Chapter, 2 (Talbot)

You have been tasked with displaying Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital quality measures data for a 5-year period on four quality measures at your site. After examining the data, identify trends and determine the best way to present the actionable information to stakeholders.
Assignment
Create a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presenting the data to the stakeholders. Address the following in your PowerPoint:
What conclusions can be drawn for each quality measure over the 5-year period?
What trends do you see for each quality measure over the 5-year period?
When comparing each quality measure, is the quality measure better than, worse than, or no different from the national benchmark over time?
Based on your examination of the data, which of the quality measures should you prioritize and why?
Develop a quality improvement metric and related measures to improve care processes, outcomes, and the patient experience relating to the identified area of opportunity.
Explain how you would monitor the metric and use collected data for improvement.

This course has three written assignments that build upon one another and are designed to take you step-by-step through a process of writing a paper that identifies an ethical question, examines the context, issues, and arguments surrounding the question, and attempts to defend an answer to that question using strong moral reasoning.
In the Week 1 assignment, “Ethical Question,” you chose an ethical question, provided an introduction, a position statement and supporting reason, and an opposing position statement and supporting reason.
In the Week 3 assignment, “Applying an Ethical Theory,” you explained utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics, including its core moral principle or ideal, and applied that theory to the topic by demonstrating how its principles would support a particular position on your ethical question.
In this final written assignment, you will combine what you have done in these two exercises by examining an ethical issue and defending your own position on an ethical question regarding that issue.
This final written assignment should be written in essay form with the following clearly labeled sections:
Introduction
Ethical Argument
Explanation and Defense
Objection and Response
Conclusion
The paper should be between 1,300 and 1,500 words, utilize three scholarly resources, and include a title page and reference page.
Part 1: Introduction
In this section of the paper, you will begin with your ethical question, introduce the topic and paper, and close with a thesis statement.
The ethical question may be the same as your Week 3 written assignment (“Applying an Ethical Theory”) or a revised version of it.
The introduction should be revised in a way that reflects your additional thinking on the issue and question.
End this section with a thesis statement that states your position on the issue (the answer to the ethical question you believe is strongest) and provides a brief summary of the main ideas you will be presenting in the paper. Please see the assignment guidance for examples of thesis statements.
Place the introduction under the Part 1: Introduction heading.
Part 2: Ethical Argument
In this section of the paper, you will present the strongest argument you can in support of the position you have stated in your introduction.
This will be similar to the “supporting reasons” you offered in the first assignment; however, this argument should reflect your research into the key ethical issues that need to be identified and addressed, the arguments on different sides of this problem, and the theories of moral reasoning we have studied in the class (you will discuss the specific details and implications of the moral theories in the next two sections).
You can think of this as a summary of the main argument you would give if you were an attorney trying to convince a jury of your position.
Place this information under the Part 2: Ethical Argument heading.
Part 3: Explanation and Defense
In this section, you will explain and defend your argument by drawing on the moral theory that aligns most closely with the argument you presented in Part 2. This may be the same theory you discussed in your second assignment, but it may also be a different theory.
You must first explain the theory in general terms similar to how you explained a theory in your second assignment, including a brief account of the historical background of the theory and the philosopher(s) associated with it and general overview of the core moral ideal or principle of the theory, including the way it guides and constrains moral reasoning.
You should then clearly show how your argument represents an application of that form of moral reasoning.
In other words, if the argument you present in Part 2 is utilitarian, deontological, or virtue-based (teleological), you will want to explain utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics in general terms, then explain how your argument from Part 2 reflects or draws upon the core principles and values of that theory. Please refer to the Week 3 assignment instructions for directions on how to explain and apply the moral theory.
Place this section under the Part 3: Explanation and Defense heading.
Part 4: Objection and Response
In this section of the paper, you will present the strongest objection you can to your argument, and briefly defend that objection by appealing to a different ethical theory than the one you focused on in Part 3.
Briefly explain the core moral ideal or principle of the theory and how that could be the basis of an objection to your argument. For instance, if you explained and defended your own argument by applying the principles of virtue ethics, you could raise an objection from the perspective of utilitarianism by briefly explaining the core utilitarian principle and how applying that principle could lead someone to a different conclusion than the one you are defending.
Next, you should respond to the objection by explaining why it is not strong enough to undermine the main argument in defense of your position.
See the assignment guidance for suggestions on how to effectively respond to the objection.
Place this section under the Part 4: Objection and Response heading.
Part 5: Conclusion
In this section of the paper, provide a summary of what you have done in the paper by briefly describing what you accomplished in each of the above sections.
Place this section under the Part 5: Conclusion heading.
