Human beings are fundamentally social. In this discussion, we will consider connection—from attraction to dissolution, and liking to love—by providing advice regarding various relationship concerns.

 

To inform your thinking on this topic, begin by reading “Transmission of Aggressions through Imitation of Aggressive Models” (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1961), “”From Jerusalem to Jericho”: A Study of Situational and Dispositional Variables in Helping Behavior” (Darley & Batson, 1973), “Bystander Intervention in Emergencies: Diffusion of Responsibility” (Darley & Latane, 1968), “The General Aggression Model: Theoretical Extensions to Violence, (DeWall, Anderson, & Bushman, 2011), “Group Inhibition of Bystander Intervention in Emergencies” (Latane & Darley, 1968), and “Understanding the Psychology of Bullying: Moving Toward a Social-Ecological Diathesis-Stress Model” (Swearer & Hymel, 2015).

 

Then, imagine that you are an educator.  Describe a hypothetical incident of observed antisocial behavior (bullying, relational aggression (i.e., “mean girls”), etc.).  Interpret relevant social psychological theory and research to explain the case study you outlined, and assemble key insight from research on prosocial behavior to generate a plan for addressing this specific situation.

Healthcare Reform in Two States

 

Description

 

Part I: The world is becoming smaller and smaller and when companies look to expand they often look outside their original footprint. Rasmussen Healthcare Systems is looking to expand their system to another state. To help advise Rasmussen on this decision, you will write 4-5 pages that compare and contrast the healthcare reform policies of the state where you reside and another state of your choice. Please keep in mind the position and facility you selected. Make sure to include the following:

 

1. Discuss the purpose of each state’s reform.
2. Describe a minimum of three specific examples of similarities and differences in healthcare reform policies in the two states.
3. Discuss in detail some of the ethical issues and moral disputes in each state’s reform.
4. Discuss your recommendation on whether Rasmussen Healthcare Systems should expand to the second state.
5. This portion of your assignment will require you to research and examine information from various sources. Use a minimum of five credible sources for your paper, with three being an academic source from the Rasmussen College Online Library (don’t forget to include in-text citations throughout your paper with paraphrasing or quoting).
6. Make sure to include your APA formatted reference page.

Part II: PowerPoint is typically the application of choice when conducting a meeting. There are many philosophies on how to create an effective PowerPoint, so do some research on the dos and don’ts. Then create a professional PowerPoint that you would present to the management team at your location that highlights your research. SkillSurfer in the online tutoring platform offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced tutorials on Microsoft Office products. Make sure to include the following in your PowerPoint:

 

1. Length of PowerPoint is up to the student.
2. Highlight specific policy changes in each state’s reform.
3. Highlight each similarity and difference.
4. Highlight your final recommendation on whether Rasmussen Healthcare Systems should expand to the other state.
5. Use the Notes area on each slide as needed to expand on the key points.
6. You may use a free screen capture site such as Screencast-O-Matic to record a video of your presentation. Screencast-O-Matic is a site and program that can perform screen desk and audio capture up to 15 minutes for free, and can be utilized on a Windows or Mac computer. (Note: You can use a similar program if you prefer. Screencast-O-Matic is just one suggestion). Make sure that both your voice and the PowerPoint slides are captured on the video. Your presentation should be 10 minutes or less.
7. If you are utilizing the Screencast-O-Matic option, please watch this short instructional video on how to record, upload, and provide your instructor with the web link to your recorded presentation. If you would like to present your PowerPoint document within a live session, please reach out to your  instructor for more details.

 

Your presentation should include an introduction, a concise discussion of each slide, and a conclusion. Make sure to use audience specific language and tone in your PowerPoint. Remember, you would be presenting this to the management team at your location. The presentation will be assessed on your overall knowledge of the content, clarity of your voice, pronunciation of words, organization of your presentation, proper recording of your presentation, overall aesthetics and professionalism, and general clarity to your presentation.

 

Your presentation should be 10 minutes or less. Make sure to address the following:

 

• Include a link to the location of your live video on the last slide of your PowerPoint presentation.
• Make sure to use audience specific language and tone in your PowerPoint. Remember, you would be presenting this to the management team at your location.
•  Save both your paper and PowerPoint presentation to a folder on your computer. Then, zip or compress your folder. Upload the zipped folder (with both the paper and PowerPoint) to the assignment dropbox

Assignment #1: Statistics Data Analysis Plan

 

Assignment #1: Prepare Descriptive Statistics Data Analysis Plan

 

Before conducting any statistical analyses, researchers develop a plan for how they will analyze their data to answer their research questions. The purpose of this assignment is to provide experience developing and executing a descriptive statistics analysis plan using real world data to answer a practical question.

 

Note: This first assignment develops and executes a preliminary plan using a subset of the data to create tables and graphs to address the assigned task. The second assignment will involve carrying out the plan in greater detail, after receiving in class feedback from your instructor. 

 

 

 

Assignment Steps:

 

Step #1: Understanding the task to be addressed:

 

You are interviewing for a new job as a Financial Advisor and have been asked to perform the following task:

 

Using the provided real world data determine the budgetary expenditures for groceries (food) your client should anticipate, assuming your client has the following social/economical family profile.

 

In Assignment 2 you will have leeway in selecting your client’s social/economical family profile.

 

Profile: 

 

Family Income $97,000.00 

 

Marital Status Single

 

Family Size Three (3) 

 

Age Forty five (45) 

 

 

 

Step #2: Review the provided sample data set provided.

 

The data is a subsample from the US Department of Labor’s Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CE) and provides information about the composition of households and their annual expenditures (https://www.bls.gov/cex/). Detailed information on the sample and variables is included with the data set file; please carefully review this information to familiarize yourself with the data 

 

Note: This data set will be used for all three of this term’s written assignments.
