Note: You will access this article from the Walden Library databases.

This article discusses the important influence of research on the social health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities and on the improved performance of relevant services. It also proposes that social impact should be considered from the beginning of a research project. Nursing research should be useful and should have a positive effect on practice. Focusing on social impact can increase the chances that this desirable outcome will occur.

Although social justice and action for change are among the nursing profession's core values, curricular content on social entrepreneurship for nurses is not well developed. This article describes an undergraduate honors elective course in social entrepreneurship offered at New York University College of Nursing. The goal of the course is to promote participants' understanding of the sources of inequality in the United States and providing the requisite skills to promote effective nursing action for social change.

Observation/Journal

Part 1: Naturalistic observation or interview 

Students will be expected to engage in a naturalistic observation of one of the stages of the lifespan to gain a first-hand view of the developmental issues and milestones encountered during this stage. You have the following two options for this assignment:

Option 1:

Observe infants, toddlers, school-aged children, or adolescents. This could be done in a daycare setting, in school, in church, or even in a public place such as at the playground. Note the child’s biological, cognitive, and psychological development using the theories and information outlined in your text. If possible, also pay attention to how the child interacts with other children and any interaction between the child and caregivers. Consider what social and cultural factors appear to be impacting the child’s development. Identify challenges in development for your observed age group. You need to spend enough time in your observations to be able to understand the points outlined above. 

Option 2:

Interview someone currently in late adulthood about their life; allow him or her to share the story of their family, faith, career and memories with you. Note information about this person’s physical, cognitive, and psychological health. What major events seemed to shape his or her development? Does this person seem to express Ego Integrity or Despair according to Erikson? In what ways has this person coped with loss? What role has religion played in his or her life?

Part 2: Reflective Journal

The paper for this assignment will be a written description of your observations. Although the journal should report your personal experiences, impressions, and emotional reactions to your experience, it should also clearly integrate specific concepts from the text and from research, and should be written in an academic style of language, rather than a conversational or informal style. You are expected to reference a minimum of 2 scholarly sources in your journal. 

The journal should be 3-5 pages (in addition to a cover and reference page), should be in proper APA format

1. Compare and contrast the information that one receives from a Gantt chart, versus that of a PERT diagram.

Group Interaction Response

Create a conversation with your group by answering the questions below. If one of your group mates has a question or concern, be sure to address it. You will be graded on your interaction with each other. Try to have a conversation about the course material.

my post:

1.What did you learn in this unit?

I learnt that all when we write or talk we apply language and tone and pay attention to the audience. Depending on the person we are speaking to, we usually adjust our behavior, speech, and the actions. This can be confirmed by looking at the way we address our parents and our friends. For instance, in the case we talk to our parents disrespectfully, they will always tell us not to use that tone again.

2. How did you learn it? What techniques or strategies did you find most helpful? Have those techniques changed from previous units?

I used to choose the words, create the tone and convey to the reader that we are being conversational to either, sarcastic, formal or even humorous. I usually do a lot of practice, at least in each day I have to do something. Learning with friends have also guided me a lot because whenever I feel like am not comfortable I can always consult my friends or they do the same to me. That strategy has been of great benefit to me and my group as a whole.

This has not had any change from the previous units. The words I choose, enable me to say what I want to say. This words can evoke a particular mood or to effectively express the ideas.

3. What else would you like to learn related to the topics covered in this unit?

One thing that I would like to learn in this particular unit is how to develop the rich and extensive vocabulary which will enable me to develop or create a variety in my writing. Additionally, I would like to understand the colloquial language that is usually used in situations involving informal writing and in conversational tone creation. I have come to realize that everyday language my writing an effect that is casual and also relaxed. I do not understand whether colloquial language is wrong or is trying to make a conversation and informality.

4. Do you have any questions or concerns about anything related to the course?

As far as am concerned, everything has been well covered in this unit and it remains my responsibility to polish my language.
