Assignment Analysis and Application: Explain the Steps a Criminal Defendant May Go Through in the American Criminal Justice System
The following case study presents issues related to the steps a criminal defendant may go through in the American criminal justice system from arrest through sentencing.
Case Study:
You have just been hired as a lawyer at a small criminal defense firm. On your first day, Louis Steele enters the office and asks to speak to an attorney. All of the other lawyers are at lunch so you speak to Mr. Steele. Mr. Steele states that he is worried about being arrested for an armed robbery of a gas station that occurred the night before. Mr. Steele explains the following to you after you assure him that anything he tells you will be protected under the attorney-client privilege.
Mr. Steele states that he has been out of work and owes money for gambling debts; that he was desperate for money and robbed a gas station last night located a couple of blocks from his house. Mr. Steele states that he used a BB gun but admits that it looks like a real gun. Mr. Steele took a total of $130.00 during the robbery. Mr. Steele states that he was not wearing a mask and that the attendant got a good look at his face. This morning, Mr. Steele heard that officers had stopped by his apartment looking for him. Mr. Steele tells you that the only person at the apartment this morning was his 13-year-old nephew. Mr. Steele did not know whether the 13-year-old let the police in or if the police forced themselves in, but states that the police found the BB gun he used under Mr. Steele’s bed. Mr. Steele wants to know what is going to happen to him should he be arrested — from arrest to sentencing. Mr. Steele has no experience with the criminal justice system and has never been arrested before.
Please prepare a PowerPoint presentation as follows:
Include 10 substantive slides and a maximum of 15 substantive slides, not including cover slide, legal term slide(s) or reference slide(s).
As Mr. Steele’s lawyer, explain the advice you will give him both pre-arrest and post-arrest.
Identify all major steps you will take to prepare a defense for Mr. Steele, including investigation of evidence and witnesses, should Mr. Steele be arrested for a felony such as armed robbery.
Explain to Mr. Steele the pre-trial process and any motions you would file on his behalf (including your reasoning for filing these motions).
Describe to Mr. Steele his trial options.
If this case goes to trial, discuss with Mr. Steele the possible sentence he could face based upon a review of your own state’s criminal laws.
Define key legal terms to Mr. Steele so he has an understanding of the legal principles involved.
Cite all legal authority used in giving advice to Mr. Steele.
Note: This Assignment will require outside research. Use at least two credible sources beyond the text material, and discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) Paper

Write a paper that summarizes Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). Briefly describe the two components of adult attachment, as well as the most common couple cycle (demon dialogue) and its two variations. Also, briefly address the goal for couples of creating a secure bond through the acronym, ARE. Explain the differences between primary and secondary emotions and how they fit the attachment framework using an original example in either the infinity loop or the negative-Velcro loop (you do not need to draw it, just explain the interaction). Finally, briefly describe the first two stages of EFT (Stage 1: tracking/reflecting cycle, dipping into primary emotion; Stage 2: withdrawer reengagement and pursuer softening), as well as at least three EFT strategies or techniques (validation, evocative questions/responding, heightening emotion, empathic conjecture, etc.). This paper should not exceed 10 pages.

Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.

Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.

Introduction
The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question.

It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.

Professional Context
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.

Scenario
For this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or safety issue or chosen diagnosis/health issue for researching and completing this assessment:

The specific diagnosis/health issue you identified in your previous assessment.
The simulation Vila Health: Determining the Credibility of Evidence.
A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.
Instructions
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.

Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:

Evidence-Based Practice Models
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
Ottawa Model
PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) Model
ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
John Hopkins Model
KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
For this assessment:

Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.
Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.
Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen scenario for this assessment. For example, if you choose to use the provided Vila Health scenario, your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented issue. However, if you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified. Any of the three scenario options are acceptable. So, pick the one that most interests you.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.

Describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, that could benefit from an evidence-based approach.
Explain criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites.
Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and resources within the context of a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis.
This is where you are selecting the specific resources to help address the issue in your chosen scenario.
Identify the Evidence-Based Practice model and explain the importance of incorporating credible evidence into the EBP model used to address a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis/health care issue. Review the literature below and choose the appropriate model for your diagnosis/health care issue.
Selecting a model for evidence-based practice changes. [PDF] and Evidence-Based Practice Models help explain the various evidence-based nursing models.
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.
Additional Requirements
Your assessment should meet the following requirements:

Length of submission: 2-4-page scholarly paper, this does not include the APA-formatted title page and reference list.
Number of references: Cite 3-5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than five years old.
APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
Portfolio Prompt: Remember to save the final assessment to your ePortfolio so that you may refer to it as you complete the final capstone course.

Critical Thinking, Media Literacy, and Historiography in a Post-Truth World

Instructions:

Please choose only ONE of the following Prompts to construct an essay around covering media literacy, censorship, propaganda, and construction of historical narratives.

The paper should be 4-6 pages (1,000 to 1,500 words), 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced, one-inch margins, properly cited in Chicago Style (Links to an external site.) (endnotes or footnotes- see the Censored book for examples). Please completely address all of the questions in whichever Prompt you choose. Again, this paper must be uploaded in Canvas (save in doc., .docx, .pdf, .rtf only).

When choosing the Prompt and writing the essay, remember to consider all of the readings/materials in the Discussion Area, including the Browne/Keeley, McIntrye, and Higdon texts, as well as all the Censored books, and films you watched (also linked online) for sources relating to this assignment. Once a Prompt is chosen, students can go back over relevant sources, as some of them will be more relevant than others for each respective Prompt. For example, for one of the Prompts, it will be useful to review information on the Propaganda Model; or for another, the work of Project Censored (see the Project films; any of Censored 2019 the foreword and intro, chapters 8 and 10; Censored 2020 the foreword, intro, chapters 1 through 4 as well as chapter 8 on Fake News (Links to an external site.); Censored 2021 foreword/intro, chapters 1-4). For yet another, McIntyre may be more useful (especially chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 7); along with the Higdon text and examples from the Censored books and other readings that you may incorporate into your essay (accessed under Files in the Canvas menu and online at Project Censored (Links to an external site.) and the Top 25 (Links to an external site.) archives). Also, updates on Herman and Chomsky’s Propaganda Model in the digital age can be found by Christian Fuchs here (Links to an external site.) and by Rob Williams here (Links to an external site.).

Again, remember to consult all the readings/materials Posted in the Discussion Area for previous weeks to determine which are most relevant to the Prompt you choose. *In fact, some of the Prompts for this midterm essay are based on Prompts/Posts you may have already done, which means you can choose one of those and expand on work you have already begun developing if you like, you would just need to extend and present it in essay format like the instructions above describe (hint, hint).

There are a couple more recent sources that apply to several of the Prompts below for this essay. One is a recent peer-reviewed journal article on the intersection of journalism and history, how the former may influence the recording of the latter, and how that may impact future generations’ understanding of our present, their past. See the historiographic analysis Nolan Higdon, Jen Lyons, and I did for the Secrecy in Society Journal- Today’s Fake News is Tomorrow’s Fake History: How US History Textbooks Mirror Corporate News Media Narratives (Links to an external site.). The other is from a past Project Censored Show, Anti-Social Media: Can Our Already Volatile Political Culture Transcend a Facebook World (Links to an external site.)? Here, I interview Nolan Higdon and author/journalist Alan MacLeod about current dilemma’s around social media and censorship, how that impacts narrative creation and sustainability, and ultimately influences the recording and political memory of history itself.

Please choose ONE of the following as a Prompt for this essay.

1. What is Project Censored and what do they mean by modern media censorship? What support do they offer regarding their definition and position on censorship and is it compelling? Are there really issues of censorship or rather “imperfections” where mistakes or news judgment are construed as obfuscation (also consider Junk Food News and News Abuse stories covered in lieu of relevant, factual reporting)? Be specific and include examples of modern media censorship, government or corporate, and follow possible societal ramifications of such up to the present. How does censorship in the present impact how we interpret the past? Do you see what some call censorship more anomalies within the system, or are these examples part of an overall structural problem with corporate media in the United States? What role does so-called Fake News play in all of this? In conclusion, do we have a truly free press? Why or why not? How or how not? How might this phenomenon impact not only our interpretations of present events but past ones as well? Be specific. Support all statements with facts and logical argumentation.

2. McIntrye builds on the concept of Post-Truth, of which he is most critical. What is Post-Truth and are McIntrye’s critiques valid (why or why not)? He goes on to warn of “spin” and propaganda in ch. 2 regarding the “Merchants of Doubt” (Oreskes, Conway p.22), which addressed deliberate, calculated, and deceptive communication practices by major industries (like Exxon, Tobacco Industry Research Council, or the American Petroleum Institute), as well as governments). Discuss these concepts and their applications with a couple of examples regarding the implications for a Post-Truth world (McIntrye, p.33) and explain how Browne/Keeley’s advice for critical thinking and constructing logical arguments may help one navigate the blizzard of misinformation in our society. As we discuss controversial matters where disagreements oft arise, what is the utility of “keeping the conversation going,” as Browne/Keeley put it, what are some ways we can do that, especially when faced with divergent views, or spin and propaganda? Cite examples. Finally, a broader point for the course, is why is it important to create a “friendly environment for communication?” Reminder- The talk (Links to an external site.) I linked the first week of class I gave for the Faculty Senate lecture last spring also addresses these ideas. Excerpts can be heard here (Links to an external site.).

3. In the conclusion of The Anatomy of Fake News (chapter 7), author Nolan Higdon prescribes what he calls a ten-point process to “save our democracy” (aka, The Fake News Detection Kit). Based on the contents of that work, and the history of fake news and disinformation (including even from the CIA, as noted by journalists Carl Bernstein (Links to an external site.) and Brian Covert (Links to an external site.)), what does Higdon mean by the statement “save our democracy?” From what and how? What does he outline as the core elements of news in the final step of the Detection Kit? How do you see the principles we’ve covered around critical thinking earlier in the course coming into play when considering the role of journalism around current events, or historical accounts of those in the past? Layout the tools for deconstructing the news and apply them to a current or historical event as an example. Feel free to note Higdon’s many examples from chapters 2 and 4. How do the solutions in the Fake News Detection Kit differ from the examples of fighting fake news from chapter 6? Which do you find more compelling and why?

4. Noted linguistics scholar and activist Noam Chomsky has said that propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a dictatorship. What are his and Edward Herman’s theories about “Engineering Opinion,” also known as “Manufacturing Consent,” in free societies (critiquing the ideas put forward by public relations guru, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, author of the book, Propaganda from 1928- see “The Century of the Self (Links to an external site.)” also linked below)? Explain Herman and Chomsky’s Propaganda Model with its filters and the role of mass media and government in democracies with regard to educating the public. How do you see the issues concerning private for-profit corporate ownership of the mass media affecting information dissemination in a democratic society? Propaganda can be a form of “fake news,” and can be weaponized ideologically against certain parts of our society. Give a couple of examples from the right or left, that illustrate this. What additional evidence may either support or debunk these ideas? How does this impact American democracy and specifically, the construction of history? Be specific and provide ample support for your views. Remember to think critically and logically.

Adam Curtis’ film on Edward Bernays
