Political Science – Discussion – Week 7

Yes, there are political prisoners in the world. Unfortunate men and women, certain classes, and political dissidents are still suffering in some areas of the world. Read the Wolman article, South Korea’s response to human rights abuses in North Korea: An analysis of policy options, in this week’s assigned readings, and watch this account of a North Korean prison camp:http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50136263n

Human rights advocates are aware of this situation. (See this Human Rights Watch World Report 2013 – North Korea, and this Amnesty International publication New satellite images show blurring of political prison camp and villages in North Korea). The U.S. government is aware of this situation. The Chinese government continues to support the North Korean regime. Some cracks have opened in North Korea, including some market activity (i.e., smuggling, black markets) since the famines of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Knowledge of the abuse of political prisoners in North Korea and other dictatorial regimes is widespread. What could or should major world powers such as the United States and China do to address the mistreatment and abuse of political prisoners in other countries? Specifically, how can the United States help to reform the political culture in those countries that arrest and abuse political prisoners?

SOC 499 Sociology Senior Project

PRESENTATION TIPS

1. Keep slides simple. For example, just put the research question on a slide, then explain the details orally.

2. The flip side of that is: You can read what the slide says to everyone, but make sure you go into more detail.

3. Suggestion: Make a separate slide for each of the following:

  • From chapter one, a slide for each of the following: Research question, hypothesis with independent variable being tested, and social problem.
  • From chapter two, a slide for each theory you will apply (Explain to the class the definition of the theory and how it applies to the problem.)
  • From chapter three: NOTHING
  • From chapter four: Was your hypothesis proved, disproved or partially proved? (Orally explain why you go that outcome/the research that supported it.)
  • Chapter five, a slide or two for conclusions, discussion, recommendations. Suggestion: List these in a few words each in bullet points so these slide(s) don’t get loaded with tiny text, then briefly orally explain each.

Stress Management: Write 8 pages of the following decryption bellow?

The goal of this project is for each student to develop a research paper to investigate and establish a plan to maintain effective personal stress management techniques. This paper will incorporate newly acquired stress management skills, and create a plan for stress management tools that have been effective for each individual.

Type a 8-paged (minimum) double-spaced research paper in 12 pt. Times New Roman font with SUBHEADINGS including the following:

  1. Assessments (retake and compare)
    1. Complete the 8 assessments from Chapter 2 again. >> Complete chapter 2’s lab (2.2) in the text. 1) Type the results from ALL 8 of the assessments throughout chapter 2 (section I–Figure 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, and Tombstone Test). 2) Analyze your results by completing section II of lab 2.2 and answering all the questions.
    2. Compare your results from all 8 assessments from the beginning of the semester (Self-Assessments and Reflection assignment) to the results from all 8 assessments from the end of the semester.
    3. How has your perception of stress changed or stayed the same?
    4. How has your perception of stress in your life changed or stayed the same?

* Please use resources and citations to support your statements.

2. SMART goals for your personal stress management plan:

    1. What THREE short-term changes (SMART goals) are you planning to make to help your overall stress levels (reduce or eliminate stressors)? (State specific examples to explain your goals and how you will implement them in your life to reduce your stress. Please use resources and citations to support your statements.)

* You practiced SMART goals with different topics, but for this paper, please focus on SMART goals to reduce your stress overall.

3. Stress management techniques

    1. Which THREE stress management techniques were most effective for you that you plan to maintain in your life?
    2. Please explain each technique in detail (e.g., what the techniques are and the method to practice it), and explain WHY these THREE? Please use resources and citations to support your statements.
    3. Explain when you have used these techniques (specific situations/stressors) and how they have reduced your stress and/or stress reactions.
    4. Did these three stress management techniques stay consistent throughout the semester, or change and vary depending on new techniques learned or different stressors?
    5. How will you continue to incorporate these THREE stress management techniques into your life and maintain them long-term?

Please cite in APA format WITHIN THE TEXT OF THE PAPER (author/organization, year of publication). A reference page needs to be attached to the end of the paper listing all of the references in APA format that you used to write the paper (not included in the 8 required pages). At least 5 different references need to be included in the research paper (one can be the text and the other 4 must be professional journal articles—if you are unsure about which resources to use, please ask (Wikipedia will NOT be accepted)).

B450_M1_SLP_US Healthcare-Delivery

Introduction to the U.S. Health Care Delivery System
The overall goal of the Session Long Project is to examine health care delivery in the United States from a strategic perspective.
Assignment for Module 1:
President Obama signed a new bill that changed the landscape of the health care industry. This new law has resulted in uncertainty for patients and health care organizations. In his article, “Three Brutal Facts That Provide Strategic Direction for Healthcare Delivery Systems: Preparing for the End of the Healthcare Bubble,” Nathan Kaufman discusses that the health care industry is heading for a fall and that organizations need to prepare now by focusing their strategies on new market realities. This will be the focus of this assignment. Please read the article by Kaufman and then respond to the following questions.
1. Why does he believe the health care bubble is going to burst? Do you agree or disagree with his views?
2. Discuss what he means by “Physician autonomy and the organized medical staff will become less relevant.” Do you believe this will improve patient care?
3. Discuss what a prepared organization is to Kaufman. Do you believe this is what it will take to effectively deal with the health care bubble? What are some suggestions that you have based upon this article and your own research?

Well when it comes to my kids I always want what’s best for them. So I have decide to open my home for family-based care. When doing family based care I want the children I have feel as if they are a part of the family and feel like they are at home. I will treat your kids as if they were my own and not treat them any differently. I will give then the same amount of love as I do my kids. Also when doing family based, I want your child to feel safe and wanting to come back to my house not be like, I don’t like her and never want to go back. For all of this you really can’t put a price on a child’s love, but I would charge $15 a day per kid if you bring your own food and snacks but if I provide all the food and stuff then I would charge $20 a day. Also I believe that when it comes to child care we as parents also struggle paying bills sometime, so I would not charge the parents if the child does not show up. I believe if you don’t show you shouldn’t pay this will be a day to day pay or pay by the week, it’s up to the parent on that. But if the parent pays for a week and misses a day I will credit that to the next week. I just want to be here and care for the children and give them the love and attention that they need. While your child is in my care they will always be doing something and staying busy. I want to make sure they have craft time, play time, nap time, centers, outside time, snack time, and many other fun things. Don’t worry your child will be in great hands when coming to my house. 

Nuclear Power Accident and Public Health 200 Words

Nuclear power plants operate worldwide with about 100 nuclear reactors operating in the U.S. The U.S. federal government maintains oversight of nuclear power plants through two agencies: NRC and FEMA. All nuclear power plants need to have an emergency response plan in the event of an accident prior to receiving a license to operate. There have been various nuclear incidents but one of the largest nuclear accidents occurred on 26 April 1986, at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine.

Please answer the following:

  1. Does the United States’ emergency response plan have a process for managing a major nuclear disaster?
  2. Discuss the medical response preparedness plans in communities co-located with nuclear plants.
  3. Is your community at risk of a nuclear disaster?

ALL FORUMS

Initial Response: Initial responses should be no less than 200 words in length not including your reference(s) and supported by at least two references (aside from the textbook). Initial responses are due no later than 11:55 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Day 3 of each week. This allows time for other students to respond to your initial response. Please be aware that just “cutting and pasting” sections of articles (in lieu of writing an original initial post) is not acceptable and will negatively impact your grade.

Peer Responses: Students are required to respond to at least two (2) other student’s initial postings (and the instructor) with significant comments that have substance. Peer responses are due no later than 11:55 p.m. ET on Sunday, Day 7 of each week. All peer responses must be substantial and significant and should be no less than 100 words in length not including your reference(s) and supported by at least one reference (aside from the textbook). If possible, one of the responses to another’s work should be from an opposing viewpoint. Your response to your peers work should be engaging and informative with good substance (just stating “I agree…” is not acceptable). Your responses should contribute in a meaningful way to helping advance our knowledge of the topics the class explores. Your responses to another’s work should be posted as a sub-thread to the student’s original posting of whom you are commenting.

For all Forum activity, students are encouraged to use the APUS Online Library to search for references that help support their argument (in addition to textbook material). All posts should contribute and advance the class knowledge of the course themes. The Forum provides an opportunity for everyone to analyze work from many different perspectives.

Subject Re: FORUMS GRADES
Label Normal

Hello Marc,

I have no reason to be unfair to any student in my class. It is a privilege to be a teacher. I take the responsibility with all humility, dedication and sense of fairness. I was once a student, I do not take the responsibility of grading papers lightly or for granted.

I have posted the question for forum 5 and your response below. The primary reason you are not scoring the highest points you aimed for is that your responses are usually non-specific, they are generic. For example, to question #1 you were to state the community you referred to in your response (is it a city, county, state, ship or military base that you referred to as your community?), which agency in your community is responsible for the function, and what does the plan entails; but not tangentially referring to it – to include “communication”. The task was aimed to make the student research and have a first hand knowledge of the capability of their communities. FEMA is a national resource for all communities. Each community tailors its plan according to its resources and risks, (as contained in the annex to the EOP) so just quoting FEMA plan does not do justice to the question in terms of specific and adequate response to the question asked. The same critiques apply to questions #2 and #3.
