This essay must contain an introduction that engages the reader, with a thesis that is clear about both what is being compared and contrasted and what the goal of this comparison is. From there, you will craft a body that follows a point-by-point or similarities and differences structure, before creating a conclusion that restates your thesis and looks to the future.

Remember that both topics and each point of comparison must receive the same level of detail. Also, remember to fully support each of your claims with evidence that includes outside sources.

Persuasive Presentation

Think of a problem in your company, neighborhood, schools, or community, to which you would like to offer a solution. Develop a presentation in PowerPoint, that you might use to present your argument to the governing board of your chosen organization. Use what you know about persuasion, effective communication and message organization to sell your idea. In your PowerPoint, you will:

  • Create 8-10 slides that offer a presentation introduction, body and conclusion.
  • Focus your message on audience needs and motivations. Use reasoning, appeals to emotion and audience interests.
  • Cite at least three outside sources.
  • Include a coversheet slide, slide titles, bullets, charts (pie, bar, or line), clip art and creativity in terms of animation effects and word choice.
  • Use the NOTES feature to add the general text of what you will say in your presentation. Each slide will have two-three substantive paragraphs in its NOTES section. In most settings, you would do fine with using NOTES simply to place your keyword outline. However, since you will not be delivering this orally, more content is needed for your instructor to understand what it is that you intended to communicate.
  • Concentrate on formatting and the overall flow of your presentation. Be mindful of the rules of good visual design.

Submit your PowerPoint along with a paragraph providing some background, your goal, and a brief description of your audience.

PSY430 Ethics in Psychology Case Study

Joe, a 35-year-old, male mental-health counselor, received a client referral, 35-year-old Jill, from a community-counseling clinic. He began providing counseling services to her. Jill’s problem was that she was unsatisfied with her current job as a bank teller and was experiencing mild anxiety and depression. Joe had been providing services to Jill for three weeks when she disclosed that she was confused about her sexuality because she was sexually attracted toward women. Joe immediately responded to Jill with wide

eyes and a shocked look. He told Jill that he was a traditional Catholic, who felt that this type of feeling was immoral and wrong. He informed her that she should avoid thinking about this and pray for forgiveness. He also told her that he

felt uncomfortable talking about the issue any further. Jill continued to talk to Joe about dealing with her family issues. Joe had recently read about a new technique and immediately became excited about trying it in therapy. He explained to her that he read an article in a magazine about a new technique called rebirthing. The new technique was being used in Europe to help people change their views about their relationship with their family. “It is supposed to be really effective in almost wiping out your memory of your family; it is like hypnosis” Joe said. “I would really like to try it on you today, what do you think?” Jill declined his offer and continued to talk about her family. Joe thought to himself that even though Jill said no, he was still going to try to hypnotize her as they talked. He thought she could benefit from hypnosis. Jill disclosed that she was raised in a traditional Asian-American home with many cultural influences and culture-specific

rules and behavior. Jill was struggling with balancing her individualism and her cultural

heritage. Joe explained to her that because he was living and working in a rural

community, mostly consisting of people of East European descent, he could not

relate to Jill’s culture and the issues with which she was struggling. He apologized and explained that he was not required to study these cultural issues because of his geographical location. Jill moved on to talk about her depression. She began talking about feeling lonely and how it contributed to her depression. During a counseling session, she revealed that she was attracted to Joe and would like a closer, intimate

relationship with him. Joe, aware that he was also attracted to Jill, talked about

his feelings toward her but explained that engaging in a relationship outside the

established counseling relationship was unethical. He informed her that because

of the mutual feelings of attraction, the counseling relationship would be

ineffective and that he would refer her to another counselor for continued services. Jill agreed and they terminated the counseling relationship. Jill asked for time to think it over and left the office. Later, she contacted him to continue counseling and to discuss the referral. Joe agreed to meet her that evening at a restaurant and bring her the referral information. That night they began an intimate sexual relationship.

Joe never got around to providing the referral for Jill even though he was aware

of her ongoing state of depression and anxiety. Joe stopped seeing Jill after a month of intimate sexual encounters. Joe enjoyed the relationship but felt guilty due to the unethical nature of the relationship. Because of his continued concern

about Jill’s depression, Joe considered going to his current clinical supervisor to

discuss the case. However, he decided against it and never contacted her. This

was because he and his supervisor had recently started a sexual relationship,

and he knew it would hurt the supervisor’s feelings if she knew of his sexual relations with Jill. Joe decided to call Jill’s boss at the bank to check on her and see how she was doing. He called her boss and explained that he had been counseling her for anxiety and depression and wanted to check if she was feeling fine. Her boss informed Joe that Jill had quit her job and was in the county hospital undergoing treatment for severe depression. Joe quickly hung up and decided not to call or visit the bank again. After thinking it over, Joe decided that general counseling might not be for him. He decided to

begin marriage and family therapy. He ordered some business cards and advertised in the yellow pages. He thought, “after all, I am a health counselor and it

can’t be hard to counsel a couple. You don’t need anything special. I already have one degree, and that’s enough!”

Evaluate the necessary elements of a bona fide contract.

You have just been hired by T&G Consulting and given your first assignment. The nationally renowned performer Cyndy Singer, who is a client of the firm, has made arrangements to give a concert at a premier concert venue, Best Artists Theater. A tentative agreement related to the performance has been drafted and given to you for review. While final approval of the agreement will have to be obtained from T&G Consulting’s Legal Department, you have been asked to provide a preliminary review of the agreement to make sure that it properly reflects the intent of the parties, and to see if the basic elements of a contract are present. (You can assume, for purposes of this exercise, that the parties have the capacity to enter into a contract.)

Please review the agreement and give justification and explanation as to whether the agreement contains the necessary elements of a valid contract. For this review, you are to reflect on and address the following sets of questions:

  • There are certain requirements for the formation of a contact:
    • What is the first required element of contract formation?
    • The second element that must be present for the formation of a contract is consideration. Examine the contract and identify the element of consideration. Describe the details of the consideration that appear in the agreement.
  • Mutual agreement (sometimes referred to as “mutual assent”) is reflected in the agreement. Please answer the following questions:
    • How is mutual agreement reflected in the contract?
    • Why might it be more difficult to establish the existence of mutual agreement in an oral contract?
    • Can you think of other pros and cons of written versus oral contracts? Please explain.

    As it turns out, the other party has failed to perform its obligations under the contract, and your client now wishes to terminate the agreement.

    • How is a contract concluded or terminated? Please explain this to your client.
    • Explain to your client how each party can be discharged from their liabilities.
    • Explain the difference between a minor breach and a material breach to your client.
