For this assignment, you will be the president or CEO of the behavioral health organization you described in your Week 3 Addressing Access and Equity Challenges for Medicare and Medicaid Participants journal. As the senior administrator, you were asked to prepare a comprehensive report. The purpose of the report was to determine your organization’s preparedness for a JCAHO or NCQA accreditation site visit. Assume you and your administrative team have already prepared the comprehensive report. For this assignment, you will create an excerpt from the executive summary and an annotated bibliography that will be written to accompany the report. Executive summaries are prepared to summarize the key points of a comprehensive report. Since, in practice, executive summaries are written after the comprehensive report is completed, to prepare for your executive summary, you should create an outline and notes for yourself with the information you would include if writing a comprehensive report.
Minimally, assume that your board has eight members, each with one of the following academic degrees: bachelor’s in finance, bachelor’s in marketing and communication, master’s in business administration, master’s in organizational leadership, master’s in strategic fundraising and philanthropy, master’s in social work, doctorate in psychology, and a doctorate (MD or DO) with a specialization in psychiatry. Therefore, be careful that the terminology you use is clear and does not assume the reader has a background in mental health jargon.
In addition, research at least 10 peer-reviewed journal articles or chapters in a scholarly book published in the last 10 years to include in your annotated bibliography. Resources assigned in any week in this course may be utilized along with new resources that you locate. Blogs and sources listed as “credible” in the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible table but are not peer-reviewed journal articles or scholarly books may not be used.

REVISED INSTRUCTIONS FOR Ethics Reflection Assignment – 2 parts Part A. We have studied a variety of research projects that contain ethical violations in several different disciplines (bio-medical studies, anthropology, psychology and sociology). The CITI Ethics Training spoke of both Laud Humphreys, Tearoom Trade and the infamous Tuskeegee Study. The Video, “5 Psychology Experiments You Couldn’t Do Today,” reported on the Milgram study on obedience and the Zimbardo Prison Experiment. Using Humphreys’, Milgram’s or Zimbardo’s research as your example, explain how the study violated or carried out each of the three basic principles of research ethics: beneficence, justice and respect for persons, using materials from your CITI training, the ASA Code of Ethics and the Belmont Report and anything else that you may choose to watch or read. BEFORE you use each concept, find its definition of the concept then quote and cite it adding clarification and/or explanation in your own words if needed. If you care to learn more about – these studies, there is quite a bit of high-level information on the web. If you use any of it, you must cite it properly. Summarize your main points (Part A = 3-4 pages) Part B. For the study you have chosen, can you think of a way to get similar data in a more ethical way? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why.

The Use of Rosary

The Use of Rosary
We currently live in a society that has different ways of expressing themselves and using a particular way of dressing or some jewelry that identifies you in society with a particular thought. Catholics use the rosary as a tool to pray and a symbol that identifies them with their religion. The rosary is used to connect with God through prayer to feel inner peace or to help a loved one connect with God. Other religions such as the Muslim, use the veil or hijab as a symbol of their religion, the use of it has changed over the years. In the past, the Muslim veil was associated with the repression of women, now, many women use it voluntarily to express their religion(Ahmed, 2011). From my perspective, the rosary is a symbol that identifies Catholics and is a tool that helps maintain faith.
One reason  think the rosary symbolizes identification for Catholics is that they use it to show society that they are connected to God through the rosary.

Perhaps that is why we see Catholic leaders like the pope, priests or nuns who always have a rosary on their neck as a symbol of their faith. The use of the rosary as a necklace is a very common practice among Catholics, but especially among those who are more committed to religion (Lima, n.d.). Although, some types of Catholics, which  included, use the rosary only for particular cases, such as to pray for a sick family member or when a loved one dies. However,  believe that the rosary is an accessory that Catholics often use as a reminder that they have a religion that guides them to live a life with values to keep themselves and their family on the right track.

Another reason why Catholics use the rosary as a symbol of their faith because this religious accessory allows them to stay focused on their faith. The rosary is a religious instrument where beads with a pattern are used and where different prayers are carried out, such as the Hail Mary and the Our Father. I see this type of prayer as a kind of mantra or prayer that helps the person doing it feel a sense of inner peace. This feeling of tranquility and serenity makes people feel connected with a spiritual power that is difficult to explain and that we sometimes call faith. This is why the rosary is a religious accessory that keeps the Catholic clinging to his faith.

Some people believe that the rosary is not a symbol that Catholics should use to identify their religion because other religions also use it to pray like protestants (Heipel, 2022). Other people could also allege that the rosary does not appear in the Bible; however, some articles show that the Our Father and the Hail Mary do appear in the Bible (Heipel, 2022). In my opinion,

disagree with these thoughts, because for me the rosary is an unequivocal symbol of the catholic faith. In addition, believe that each religion can adapt their interpretation of the Bible to the way they like best if that helps with a better connection with their religion.

Therefore, the rosary has a strong identification meaning of the Catholic faith.

In conclusion, people usually use some form of clothing or some accessory to identify with some culture or religion. For example, Muslims wear the hijab or headscarf, Jews wear the kippah, and Catholics wear the rosary. The rosary is a religious accessory for Catholics that helps them feel more connected to their faith and stay focused in their religion. It provides peace and serenity during difficult times and can help calm anxiety. Every culture or religion has a symbol to express their thoughts and must be respected for everybody and not be judged.

You are a manager, and your boss—who is also a friend—has reprimanded a fellow employee (also a friend) in ways that are demonstrably unfair and unethical but not illegal. That employee has confided in you with the facts, and you agree. The employee asks you not to mention anything to the boss but to go with her to human resources for support while she reports him for those actions. What would you do, if anything, and why? Explain.

One of your direct reports thinks that you are not acting responsibly or in the best interests of the company with him or the department in which you work. The direct report has informed you that your communication and work style are lacking and that this is also causing problems with others in the department. You are upset over this news and realize it could cause you problems with your boss and those above. What would you do, when, why, and how?

You learn that a woman in your department has complained about sexually improper advances toward her by your boss and another more senior person above that boss. You know the woman but not well.

She may be right in this instance. You have heard rumors that she often exaggerates and sometimes can’t be trusted. You don’t particularly like her and are concerned about your own reputation if she’s wrong. What would you do and why?
