Discuss at two positive and two negative features of the interview method for gathering scientific data.
This assignment is designed to allow you to gain experience using the interview method and to allow you to explore the effects of differences between ages of individuals under study (cohort effects).
The assignment has three parts:
Part A involves developing interview questions and answering the interview questions yourself.
Part B involves interviewing another person at least 10 years older or younger than yourself.
Part C asks you to examine cohort effects and examine the interview method as a research tool.
To get started with this assignment, find someone to interview. There should be at least a 10-year difference (older or younger) between you and the interviewee. You may decide to do the interview face-to-face, but since this course offers you the ability to interact with classmates online, you could also ask one of your classmates to be your interviewee. (If you have any difficulty finding someone to interview, ask your instructor for help).
You will begin the assignment by developing interview questions and responding to those interview questions as if you were being interviewed. The information below and the marking guidelines for the assignment should help you as you develop the questions. (Part A). This will allow you to collect one part of the data and will also give you practice with the interview points and questions.
Next, you will collect more data on aging and development by interviewing the person who is at least 10 years older or younger than you and therefore in another age cohort. (Part B).
You will complete the assignment by summarizing the data from both interviews, and then answering three questions in Part C.
Part A – Answering the interview questions
Begin the assignment by answering the interview points from your perspective. The information that you need to gather is outlined in the next section. As you answer the questions, you may also want to write down any changes you want to make when asking the question to your interviewee.
Part B – The interview
The interview should take approximately 30 minutes to complete, but you may want to allow 45 to 60 minutes for completion. Why? It is important to establish rapport with the interviewee for a successful and comfortable interview, andyou must also be open to responding to any questions following the interview.
The interview should follow a semi-structured format with a combination of direct and open-ended questions. Here is the information that you need to gather for the assignment:
Demographic information
Include age, gender, marital status, family background, cultural background, and socioeconomic factors.
A brief history of the person’s life
You want to be able to summarize this into about 10 points of history of the person’s life, so you may want to ask about where the person was born, where they grew up, where they went to school, where they had their first job, where they work or study now, what recreational activities they enjoy, etc.
Everyday life
Ask what life was like at key times or ages in the person’s life, for example when they were 5 years old, when they were 10 years old, when they were 15 years old, 20 years old, 30 years old, 40 years old, and so on.
A Significant life event
Sometimes an event happens that appears to significantly alter the course of our life. Was there any one event (or a series or events) that had a significant impact on the interviewee’s life? What was the event? How old was the interviewee at the time? How did that event change his/her life?
Advice
What advice can the person give for the youth of today?
Part C – Summary and analysis
After the interview, complete the following questions:
Cohort effects
Given the age of your interviewee, what were the major world/societal events that happened during the person’s life that could have had an impact on their development, and at what age did the event occur? (Examples include WWII, the Great Depression, the Cold War, racism, sexism, the post-war family structure, the impact of television/media/computers/internet, social media, healthcare, the sexual revolution, the women’s movement, space exploration, nuclear power/bombs, residential schools for aboriginal peoples, 9/11, etc.)
How do you think these or any other events affected your interviewee’s life history? If you don’t think these events had any effect, why not?
The interview method
Discuss at two positive and two negative features of the interview method for gathering scientific data. You will have to reference your textbook and other sources that you consulted, at the end of the paper. What is your opinion of the usefulness of this method and why?
The questions
If you could have added one more question to the interview, what would it have been? Why would this have been an important question to ask?
Completing the assignment
The assignment should be separated and labelled as follows:
Part A: Questions 1 – 5 The summarized interview with you as the subject
Part B: Questions 1 – 5 The summarized interview from your interviewee
Part C: Questions 6 – 8 Your interpretation of the data
Assignment 2 must be typed and double-spaced, using 12-point font. All assignments must use APA style citations when referencing your sources, both within the text and at the end of the assignment or paper.
What is your opinion on Texas Senate Bill 7?
This doesn’t require any sources, just your opinion on the topic. The discussion post only needs to be 150 words single-spaced. I will attach articles that you can review to help with the topic.
What motivated Einstein to create General Relativity?
Question 4. How is modern cosmology linked with General Relativity?
What motivated Einstein to create General Relativity? What classic principles did he invoke to begin his thinking? What does GR say about the relationship between spacetime and gravity? What important property of the universe could Einstein have predicted, and what did he do instead? What observational results led to the conception, and acceptance, of the Big Bang model? What is Inflation, and how does it modify the Big Bang model? How does Inflationary Cosmology hint at the possible integration of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity?
Explain how how the capstone topic reflects the National Academy of Medicine’s Core.

My Assignment Topic
Description: Opioid abuse is a
worsening problem in the United States, and is present all around us. It is
vital that nurses take a stand and lead in a movement to lessen opioid abuse,
which will in turn decrease the number of unintentional deaths every year. Not
only will deaths decrease, but associated comorbidities, psychological
problems, and social problems will also somewhat resolve. Adequate plans, such
as day programs or inpatient programs, need to be closely managed by nurses in
order to promote adequate treatment for opioid addiction and abuse.
Assignment
Fill out the attached 1-page TEMPLATE for
each of the 5 different articles that may be used in the literature
review on for research paper. This is a QUALITATIVE paper when all is said and done down the road. The
primary research studies much be from peer reviewed nursing
journals and/or related professional journals which should be included in the literature
overview, each with a publication date within the past five years. These
studies should be original research, and not literature reviews, meta-analyses,
or systematic reviews.
Responses for each article should be typed directly on to the template
(4 templates completed once done). Please note that responses provided on the
template should summarize and paraphrase the information you are gathering from
each source. It is not appropriate to
copy and paste information from your research articles on to the template. The
only exceptions to this would be research questions and/or hypotheses that are
germane to a study. In the selection of your studies for the literature
overview, you will want to consider those resources that will assist in addressing
the key topical areas that will be required as part of the capstone essay in
future weeks and namely:
·Leadership, Management and Followership
·Effective Communication and Information
Technology
·Nursing Resource Management
·Evidence Based Practice, Quality and Safety
·Nursing Finance
·Inter and Intra Professional Collaboration
Please note that this section will contain only a sample of the
literature and evidence that may be used in preparation of the capstone essay
in later weeks!! At this point, just the templates for each article, not a true
literature view paper.

Discussion Prompt(s)
Two relatively new interventions in OD are aimed at enabling organizations to pursue “sustainable effectiveness.” The first intervention—sustainable management organizations (SMOs)—proposes that the central purpose of human systems should be sustainable effectiveness. These organizations are built to change and adapt in the service of positive economic, social, and environmental results. This intervention describes the elements of a sustainable strategy and provides design and implementation guidelines for building these capabilities into the structures, processes, and behaviors of the organization. Global social change organizations engage in activities that increase the social and environmental outcomes of predominantly economically-oriented organizations. OD practitioners are using this intervention to facilitate the development of evolving countries, to change the practices of for-profit entities, to provide a voice to underrepresented social classes, and to bridge the gap between cultures facing similar social issues.
There are five primary areas of opportunity for OD practitioners. These include:
developing leaders and teams’ strategic and emotional intelligence;
shifting organizational systems to a new paradigm;
designing aligned cultures;
delivering comprehensive learning programs;
creating engaged employees.
Discuss by comparing and contrasting 2 of the 5 areas fully.
