Sociology-McDonaldization-of-Society-Discussion-Question

/in /by

1. Ritzer lists individual actions you can take against McDonaldization in your daily life (p. 179-180). What is your reaction to this list? How practical do you think it is? How do you think adopting it might improve or diminish the quality of your life?

2. First, think of an example of “nothing” that is quite present in your life. It can be an object, a place, or an activity.

Now, look for a “something” version of it.

  • How easy or difficult was it to find it?
  • Comparing the two versions, which one are you more satisfied with, and why?
  • What does that say about the place of McDonaldization in your life?

Cross Training Staff

The practice of cross training staff (learning another type of job) is an old and often successful practice at hospitals.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research cross training techniques. Based on your research and training, respond to the following:

  • What steps would you take in deciding whether or not to cross train lab technicians as x-ray technicians?
  • What are the negative and positive financial considerations in making this decision?
  • What steps will you take to deal with a weekend staffing crisis whereby your small hospital has no x-ray technicians in-house, yet the demand for their services is very high including 30 percent of the need emanating from critical care units?

Journal Entry #2: Apply what you learned about editing in the documentary, The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Making and analyze Hitchcock‘s movie Psycho. What editing techniques does Hitchcock use to heighten audience suspense?

Construct your Journals as Response Essays to the clips and films you watch and utilize these three strategies when writing: Reflection – Observation – Analysis.

You are required to apply technical film terms and reference mise en scène when writing. DO NOT go on-line when writing your journals. I am ONLY interested in your own Reflection/Observations/Analysis. If you plagiarize from the Internet, I will have no choice but to give you a zero for the assignment.

I tip well for great work! I am looking for someone to support this and other efforts in the subject of Biology/Human Ecology for the next seven weeks.


Discussion Question 1

How do we move from talking about sustainability to involving consumers? Is involving consumers even the answer? How do we get people moving in the right direction?


Discussion Question 2

Read the following scenario: Max tried a new fertilizer called SuperGro on his garden. He said, “I used it on all my tomato plants, and they grew much better than they did last year. SuperGro is fantastic!”

Answer the following questions, thinking in terms of scientific experiments:

Was Max’s test of SuperGro scientifically valid? Why or why not?

Crafting-a-Narrative-Problem-Scenario-

/in /by

This paper will be a creative effort. You may need to talk with others who have experience with the issue you’re writing about or do some reading to ensure that your description of the problem is accurate. Your personal experience with the problem is very important, but you want to make sure it is typical of the problem you are describing. What you want to produce in this section will be similar to the first act of a play or the first part of a short story. You don’t have to resolve the issues you raise in your description. Instead, you will leave the people you describe in the midst of a dilemma they can’t seem to solve. Your major characters will probably be unhappy, stressed, frightened, or anxious.

For example, you may describe the struggles between a young girl with eating disorders and the conflicts it creates in her family. You want your description to capture the essence of what it is like for both the young girl and her parents as they struggle with this problem. You may have personal experience with this situation or you might have observed other individuals and families who have struggled with this issue. If you need to go to other sources, you can find published case studies that will help you tell an accurate story of a family in this situation. 300 to 400 words. Use APA formatting

Problem Scenario

(10 pts) Believability: Does the scenario capture the essence of the problem?

(10 pts) Complexity: Does the scenario go beyond a superficial understanding?

Writing

(10 pts) APA professional appearance (margins, font, headings, etc.)

(10 pts) Structure, organization, and flow

Summit Elementary School is a new school that will open in the fall. Summit will serve approximately 500 low income students living in the inner city. The student body will consist mostly of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, and American Indians. Because of your extensive coursework and experience with diverse populations, you have been asked to create a small handbook for incoming teachers and mental health professionals with important information such family influences, religion, cultural characteristics, gender roles, socioeconomic status, language and communication, current issues, and best practices for working with these groups.

The text and the assigned articles are the primary sources for this project. Remember to review all course material as this is a comprehensive Assignment. Additionally, you should use at least 2 other research articles from peer-reviewed journals that you found in the Kaplan Library. This project should be between 6-8 pages in length not including the title page and the reference page. The project should be written in essay form. You are required to give credit to the sources you use, and use proper APA formatting.

This Assignment addresses this course outcome:

MN502-2: Explain how theoretical frameworks influence advance.

Purpose

The purpose of this Assignment is to explore how a theorist explicates his or her philosophy and thoughts behind a theoretical field. As in other fields of study, nursing has a plethora of theorists and theories. These theorists have developed their paradigm over time enriching it with research and dialogue with other theorists.

Directions

You are going to explore how a theorist of your choice created his or her theory. Did it develop as an acorn becoming a mighty oak over the decades? Did it arrive as a burst of light like the big bang as some believe created our universe? Was it developed from a blueprint like a spaceship where thousands of scholars worked together to create a rocket to the moon? In point of fact, how is a theory developed? This is what we are exploring.

You will pick a theorist who interests you, it does not have to be a nurse theorist. You may also choose from other disciplines such as: behavioral, leadership, business, education, technology.

You will become the theorist immersing yourself in the writings from the earliest mentioned to the most current.

As you read, look at how you (taking on the persona of the theorist) developed the theory.

In the first stage, theorizing occurs. This is where you, as the theorist, identify the concepts of what nursing is and is not. Perhaps you questioned what concepts were guiding those in nursing practice and then started to question your role. You started asking yourself, “Where am I in nursing, and where the profession is going? Is there some overarching concept that guides the professional in his or her practice?” This is where you recognize that a theory is needed.

In the second stage, syntax is developed. This is where you will define the terms. Look for changing definitions of terms. Consider, for example, Jean Watson. She starts by defining the word “caring.” Within the last ten years she has refined her terminology changing the term caring to caritas. This demonstrates a growth and maturation from decades of research she and other scholars did to produce the theory of caring.

The third stage is theory testing. Defined as the phenomena behind the theory that are exposed through research. The definitions of terms are refined. The theorists and other researchers consider whether this theory helps answer questions that arise in practice. This is where your theory is used in by a widening group of researchers. For example, graduate nursing students request the tool you developed while testing your theory.

The fourth and last stage is evaluation. This is where philosophical debate occurs as the concepts are applied through evidenced based practice in the act of providing nursing care.

Assignment Details

For this Assignment, you are going to write an article for a nursing journal explaining how you developed your theory through the four stages (theorizing, syntax, theory testing, and evaluation). Your paper must be 3 to 5 pages, not including the title and reference pages.
