Intro to Humanties

/in /by

Over the course of the last 40 years, American education has changed.

Whether we are discussing K-12 or high education, emphasis used to be placed upon:

– ethics

– critical thinking

– literacy

– being a good citizen and informed voter

– understanding of American culture and world cultures

– cultivating the complete person.

This is no longer the case.

In modern America, education is primarily designed to provide narrowly defined job training.

Courses like Intro to the Humanities survive from the previous form of education in the modern system, and are clear outliers. This is why opinion is surprisingly – almost artificially – uniform in opposition to its existence.

Teachers still attached to the notion of educating the complete person – not merely the future employee – see courses such as this as essential to maintaining a society of thinking people capable of self-awareness and empathy. They see the rise in cyberbullying, ideological radicalization, rage, fear, and chronic depression as symptomatic of a society that does not value the humanities – or even know what the humanities are.

In a few years, this course may not exist.

If this course goes, what is lost?

What did you learn this term?

Draw upon specific moments from the course (touching upon work we did throughout) to inform your answer.

You may write using the pronoun “I” and offer subjective opinions that still cite specific cultural artifacts from the class, or you might discuss “students” broadly and leave yourself out of the equation if you are not comfortable using “I.”

Write in 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1 inch margins. Essays less than a page long will be considered too short to adequately answer this question. 3-4 pages seems in the right range.

Developmental Disorders

You have learned that the conceptualization of autism spectrum disorders as diagnoses has evolved, with the current DSM conceptualizing one neurological disorder with common characteristics, which are presented on a wide continuum, rather than separate disorders such as Asperger’s disorder or autistic disorder.

Watch the video It’s a Different World. You may use the link provided or locate the video in the AUO library.

  • Describe the symptoms or characteristics of autism spectrum disorder you saw illustrated in the video that you learned about in your readings.
  • You have learned that autism is a spectrum disorder, with some children functioning at the lower end, requiring a lot of support, and others at the higher end, needing minimal support.

Describe strengths and challenges that were noted for the children in the video?

  • Explain why it is important for a clinician to evaluate strengths and challenges in order to work with children, families, and educators.
  • Drawing on your readings, the video, and any other peer-reviewed sources you find relevant, explain whether research supports separate disorders (e.g., Asperger’s disorder, autistic disorder) or one disorder with a continuum of severity.

Write a paper that is a minimum of 3 pages, not including a cover page and reference list. Format your paper using APA standards, to citation of sources, including in-text citations and full references. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

EEOC Discussion

There are various federal and state employment and labor laws protecting both employees and employers. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the federal agency responsible for interpreting, investigating, and enforcing federal employment laws against workplace discrimination. In Week 2, you considered the legal components in a job description. In Week 4, you analyzed forms of discrimination when conducting a performance appraisal. For this discussion, you will look at protected classes identified by the EEOC. Protected classes are groups of people with common characteristics that are legally protected from employment discrimination.

In your initial post,

  • Describe three protected classes and the laws that exist to protect them.
  • Explain how the EEOC investigates complaints of discrimination against a protected individual.
  • Discuss how employers can prevent and respond to allegations of employment discrimination.

Case Scenario

Mrs. J. is a 63-year-old woman who has a history of hypertension, chronic heart failure, and sleep apnea. She has been smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years and has refused to quit. Three days ago, she had an onset of flu with fever, pharyngitis, and malaise. She has not taken her antihypertensive medications or her medications to control her heart failure for 4 days. Today, she has been admitted to the hospital ICU with acute decompensated heart failure.

Subjective Data

  4. Reports that she is so exhausted she cannot eat or drink by herself.

Objective Data

  1. Height 175 cm; Weight 95.5 kg
  2. Vital signs: T 37.6 C, HR 118 and irregular, RR 34, BP 90/58
  3. Cardiovascular: Distant S1, S2, S3 present; PMI at sixth ICS and faint; all peripheral pulses are 1+; bilateral jugular vein distention; initial cardiac monitoring indicates a ventricular rate of 132 and atrial fibrillation
  4. Respiratory: Pulmonary crackles; decreased breath sounds right lower lobe; coughing frothy blood-tinged sputum; SpO2 82%
  5. Gastrointestinal: BS present: hepatomegaly 4 cm below costal margin

Critical Thinking Questions

What nursing interventions are appropriate for Mrs. J. at the time of her admission? Drug therapy is started for Mrs. J. to control her symptoms. What is the rationale for the administration of each of the following medications?

  1. IV furosemide (Lasix)
  2. Enalapril (Vasotec)
  3. Metoprolol (Lopressor)
  4. IV morphine sulphate (Morphine)

Describe four cardiovascular conditions that may lead to heart failure and what can be done in the form of medical/nursing interventions to prevent the development of heart failure in each condition.

Taking into consideration the fact that most mature adults take at least six prescription medications, discuss four nursing interventions that can help prevent problems caused by multiple drug interactions in older patients. Provide rationale for each of the interventions you recommend.

Select a topic and identify ethical considerations

/in /by

All evaluations are conducted, and ultimately exist, in a social environment and have the potential to be affected by a variety of social, cultural, political, and economic forces. Based upon what you have learned through working on your Final Paper, put your selected topic in its appropriate social context, and identify important ethical considerations inherent in the evaluation. Identify and explain the impact of political issues associated with the proposed evaluation. The discussion should focus both on political factors such as socio-economics, race, or gender, as well as political nuances that might include issues pertaining to city or state government. In addition, identify and discuss the most surprising thing you found in your research that caused you to reevaluate a previously held opinion.

obtained a search warrant for the home, law homework help

/in /by

Scenario

Consider the following case:

Los Angeles County sheriffs obtained a search warrant for the home of four black suspects in an identity-theft fraud scheme. When police went to the home, a white teenager answered the door and was ordered to lie face down on the floor, while police went into the bedroom and ordered the two naked white people in it to stand naked next to the bed, while police searched the home.

It turned out that the black suspects had moved 3 months earlier. The white couple sued the police, contending that the search was an unreasonable invasion of privacy, as the color of their skin should have immediately tipped police that they were not the suspects and that the premise for the search (the warrant) was flawed.

Answer the following critical thinking questions in a 1-2 page Essay:

  • If the police searching the home found drugs or other unrelated incriminating evidence during the search, would it be morally permissible to use the evidence against them?
  • Who, if anyone, would be considered negligent in this situation?

Be sure to address all prompts and cite your sources in APA format.
