diversity and relationships

Chapter 9 in POWER Learning and Your Life focuses on diversity and relationships as well as how to compare different experiences to your own. One way in which diversity can be observed globally is through different approaches to higher education. Choose one country other than the U.S. and research higher education in that country. Compare that country’s approach to college to that of the U.S. and note similarities and differences.

Reading Response to Nicomachean Ethics I.8-13, (pp. 12-21)

This assignment is to read Nicomachean Ethics I.8-13, (pages 12-21 that are attached) and answer questions with a strong focus on explaining why it matters or is significant to us. In other words, every question is actually asking “What is Aristotle trying to tell us?”

Please see the document labeled “Sample” so you understand what the assignment calls for and the level of writing I need it to be at. My instructor is a difficult grader so please do not bid on the assignment unless you can deliver the same level of quality.

Aside from the last question, each of your answers should be supported by a quote that is 120 characters or less. After stating the quote, it needs to be explained. So the response to each questions should be in the form of:

Response (answer but much more focus on why it matters to us)
Short quote (to back up your response)
Explanation of the quote

Here are the questions. I have also attached them as a word document.

Reading NE1-3 Response: Nicomachean Ethics I.8-13, (pp. 12-21)

Part I:

Why does Aristotle say that, “even if the actively maintained condition is present it is possible for it to accomplish no good”? What point is he trying to make?

Why does Aristotle maintain that “actions in accordance with virtue would be pleasant in themselves”?

Why does Aristotle maintain that “what is greatest and most beautiful to be left to chance would be too discordant”?

Explain what Aristotle means when he says that “happiness” is “a certain sort of being-at-work of the soul in accordance with virtue”?

Why does Aristotle say that the person “who will be happy throughout life” will always “be acting and contemplating the things that go along with virtue…”?

Why does Aristotle maintain that “happiness” is among the things that are “honored” rather than among the things that are “praised”?

What is the relationship between “virtue” and “happiness” according to Aristotle?

Part II

(a) Select a passage from the reading that you find significant or interesting (i.e. one that you think merits further in-class discussion) and list the page number(s).

(b) Explain why you think the passage is significant, meriting further in-class discussion

(c) State and clarify at least one question which the passage raises

The following are guidelines on how to answer the questions in “Part I” of the Reading Response:

You should view these questions not as questions being asked by an instructor who already has the “correct” answer in mind but rather as questions being asked by someone who has read the texts and is still trying to figure out what is being said and WHY IT MATTERS—this means, for instance, that it will generally not be helpful to simply say in response to the question something on the order of what was literally said in the text since the person raising the question will have already encountered that and yet the question remains.

In one way or another then every question (REGARDLESS of how it is phrased) is attempting to get you to provide the questioner with some assistance in figuring out what is being said at that point, how it relates to other things in the text, WHY ANY OF IT IS SIGNIFICANT TO US, what it really means, etc. Put another way, and perhaps more simply, you should view each question as my attempt to ask you for your views concerning what so-and-so (the author, character, etc.) is really trying to tell us. THINK: “WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO US?” NOT “why does this matter to the story.” The point of asking what the author is trying to communicate is meant to highlight the presumption that the author is trying to say something that he deems to be significant.

It will not be satisfactory if you simply state our view. Rather, you should be prepared to say WHY you think that is what is being said or WHY we think its significance is thus and such. Absent any capacity on our part to say why we think that is the right thing to say about the text our conversation cannot progress beyond the mere stating of our opinions. Consequently, you should explain why you think your view of the text is justified.

Ways to Achieve Sustainable Building(improve+writing)

Requirements:
In terms of improvement:
the basis of the current article to improve chapter 2. Chapter 2 describes 6 technologies(2.2.1 to 2.2.6) that can achieve sustainable architecture.
1. Now you need to provide quantitative data for these six technologies based on other literature to support their arguments. You can add text in a paragraph or use a new paragraph to add text. (For example, according to ABC research, the construction of a waste management system can reduce 20% of construction waste, 10% of materials can be reused, and 30% of materials can be recycled. Therefore, ……….)

In terms of writing:
1. Write chapter 2.2.7 Case studies (Using sustainable building cases, cases must use some of the techniques in Chapter 2 to demonstrate the difference between using these techniques and not using them. For example, the use of these technologies could significantly reduce x% of energy, thereby reducing emissions, avoiding aggravating the greenhouse effect and achieving sustainable development.) <300 words approx.>

2. Write Chapter 4 Results and Discussion (including Introduction, Results, Discussion, Summary) <3190 words approx.>
– I don’t have a fixed idea, if you have any idea, you can discuss with me. The following is my idea of a temporary. If you find it inappropriate or there are other better methods, you can discuss with me.

4.1 Introduction
– In this research paper, we discuss what approaches are used to achieve sustainable development
– Analysis of the results of those sustainable building technologies

4.2 Results
– Summarize the benefits and disadvantages of each technology
– Summarize the environmental and earth impacts of various technologies
– Whether these technologies can address the challenges of contractors to sustainable construction(Chapter 1.4 or other)

4.4 Summary
– Summarize and reflect on the research

Precautions:
1. The text you write is in red font, so I know which content you are writing.

Existential and Gestalt Theories

For this Discussion, you will write a case conceptualization as though you were an existential or Gestalt counselor. Be sure to incorporate the feedback from your Instructor on your previous conceptualizations into this week’s.
As you review this week’s Learning Resources and media file, note techniques and interventions, and consider the role of an existential or Gestalt counselor in planning treatment. Further, reflect on existential and Gestalt therapy with respect to developing your own theoretical orientation. In what ways do you find that these approaches may resonate with your own point of view?
To Prepare:
Review this week’s required readings about existential and Gestalt theories.
Review the existential-humanistic psychotherapy video from this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of language and techniques used by the counselor that are specific to this theory.
Review the Freudian Case Presentation document found in this week’s Learning Resources, and use this document to prepare your initial Discussion post.
Select one of the case studies presented in this week’s Learning Resources, and answer the following points as if you were an existential OR Gestalt counselor. Use your Learning Resources and the notes you took on language and technique from the existential-humanistic psychotherapy video to support your conceptualization, and integrate examples from the case to support your post. Include the following:
Presenting Problem
Treatment Goals
Identify your chosen theory (i.e., existential or Gestalt) and explain at least two techniques and interventions from that theory.
Expected Outcome
By Day 3
Post your existential OR Gestalt conceptualization.
Be sure to support your main post with specific references to the Learning Resources using proper APA format and citations. Your response posts may be more conversational and less formal.
Your responses may be more informal than your main post.
Read your colleagues’ postings.
By Day 5
Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ posts and explain whether you believe the proposed case conceptualization is the most beneficial for the case selected and why.

Ethical Foundations

Clinical mental health counselors often encounter situations that require ethical decision making. How would you handle a family member who asks you for therapy? What would you do if a client pursued a romantic relationship with you? The ACA and AMHCA have codes of ethics that help clinical mental health counselors make these decisions. The codes are revised regularly based on changes in the counseling field or current trends in the world. An example of this would be new technologies that may blur the line between personal and professional identity or bring confidentiality into question.
Clinical mental health counselors must be aware of, and be up to date on, the professional codes of ethics and apply them to their practice. For this Discussion, you will review a set of ethical scenarios, and you will evaluate the ethical behavior exhibited based on the ACA Code of Ethics. Ethical scenarios aren’t always easy to resolve. Counselors may interpret situations and ethical codes differently. This Discussion offers you an opportunity to engage in well-informed, open-minded discourse with your colleagues, just as you will do as a counseling professional.
To Prepare:
Review examples of how to provide appropriate citations for the ACA Code of Ethics from this week’s Learning Resources.
Review the scenarios in Case Study 3.2 (pp. 86–89) from Chapter 3 of the Erford course text. Select three scenarios to respond to for this Discussion.

Using the nutritional assessment previously completed from SparkPeople, and using the report “Daily Nutrition Feedback” – answer the following: (remember I want 3-day average intake, not intake for each day, so you’ll have to do some math to average the 3 days together – kindly show your math for full credit).

Using the nutritional assessment previously completed from SparkPeople, and using the report “Daily Nutrition Feedback” – answer the following: (remember I want 3-day average intake, not intake for each day, so you’ll have to do some math to average the 3 days together – kindly show your math for full credit).
What is your average intake of calcium, in milligrams? (compared to recommended) (note Sparkpeople reports in percentages — based on requirement of 1,000 mg/day. So, if your Sparkpeople 3 day average of calcium is 30, that means you met 30% of your goal (and you can calculate mg of calcium by taking 1000 * 0.3 = 300). This means your average mg/day of calcium is 300.
What is your average intake of vitamin D, in micrograms? (Compared to recommended) Vitamin D is reported as a percentage. So if your vitamin D 3-day average is 4, that means 4% (which is lower than 100-150% recommended)
What is your average intake of vitamin C? (compared to recommended) Vitamin C is reported as a percentage. So if your vitamin C 3-day average is 400, that means 400% (which is higher than 100-150% recommended)
What changes can you make in your diet or lifestyle to more closely meet the recommendations? Remember to be specific here – this answer should take up the majority of this assignment — go through each nutrient in which you were low/high and address how you’d improve your intake. Please don’t suggest that you will ‘take a supplement to improve your intake, rather give me food sources for your nutrients. Remember too that I want detail – so tell me more than “I need to eat more vitamin C” or “I need to eat more fruit” – I want to hear what fruit you’d eat, what the portion of that fruit is, when you’d eat it, and what amount of ___ nutrient it has in each portion. This section should take up the MAJORITY of your assignment – as this is where you show me that you’ve critically thought about how you’d add these nutrients (through food) to your diet) Thanks!
