Ehrlich gives us some interesting things to think about this week in terms of how people from different ethnic groups are dehumanized, and how that is often the first step towards ethnoviolence. When you read Chapter 1, you see information that children learn their prejudices as early as age three or four. When you read Chapter 3, you see that it can be quite common even in the workplace to treat people who are different as if they are not even there, that they are objects or resources, but not people. 

My question for you this week is: when we see a group of people being dehumanized, is that act one of choice? Or is it something that has become so ingrained in the minds of those who do it that it is second-nature to them? Or is it some combination of both? Can you provide a specific example to illustrate your point?

Produce a definition of data visualization. Explain how it caters to the perceptual abilities of humans.  (2) Describe three challenges data visualization researchers face when trying to use visualization tools to reinforce the policy-making process. Suggest solutions to conquer these three challenges.

Instruction: Why did you select the business form that you did for your organization? Explain a little about your business concept. Did you consider taxes and income taxation when you selected your business form? Did you think about life events such as divorce or death of a partner? Did you think about your liability to your customers? Did you think about how you will sell or get capital investment? What effect did your research on taxes have on you and your business plans?

Part 3-Based on the business plan from last week. (OHIO)

Assignment 1: Practicum – Week 8 Journal Entry

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Develop effective documentation skills for group therapy sessions *

· Develop diagnoses for clients receiving group psychotherapy *

· Evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for groups *

· Analyze legal and ethical implications of counseling clients with psychiatric disorders *

* 

Select two clients you observed or counseled this week during a group therapy session. Note: The two clients you select must have attended the same group session.

Then, in your Practicum Journal, address the following:

· Using the Group Therapy Progress Note in this week’s Learning Resources, document the group session (see attachment).

· Describe each client (without violating HIPAA regulations), and identify any pertinent history or medical information, including prescribed medications.

· Using the DSM-5, explain and justify your diagnosis for each client. (very important to use 

· Explain whether cognitive behavioral therapy would be effective with this group. Include expected outcomes based on this therapeutic approach.

· Explain any legal and/or ethical implications related to counseling each client.

· Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

To extend your learning beyond the readings, you will identify and analyze an academic article relative to this week’s topics. The need for you to select your own articles for analysis was introduced in the Module 3 assignment. For the article you select, you will complete an analysis that will provide your assessment of the article relative to this week’s topics. I encourage you to utilize the resources available in the LSUS library, from credible trade organizations, and other scholarly sources available such as Google Scholar. You are expected to use these resources to identify FREE articles. You are neither expected nor required to pay for articles for this assignment or course.

Please ensure that your article is scholarly in nature, from a credible source, written for either an academic or practitioner audience, and written within the past 10 years (5 years is preferred). Please upload a copy of the article. Please note that the actual article must be uploaded; a link will not be sufficient.

In your analysis, please follow the outline provided, making the bolded topics major headings in your submission to ensure proper organization. 

A.     Key Issues.

• Key Issues: This is where you identify the broad and/or specific findings that the author is presenting, and/or the position that he/she is taking.  In this section, the goal is not to complete the full analysis, but to identify what you consider to be the major issues/findings/messages that the author is trying to convey, describe the issues, and briefly describe why they are issues given the context provided. Be sure to make sure that the issues that you identify do not just repeat what the author says, but rather put the author’s perspective in the context of the course material.

B.    Analysis 

• Analysis: This is where you should assess, in a substantive way, the topic and critical issues the author(s) has presented.  Be sure to connect your analysis to the week’s topics and cite appropriately. Here is where you can state your position regarding whether you agree or disagree with what the author is saying. An analysis does not simply provide support for what the author says. It takes a critical look at the author’s words relative to your understanding of the material, the nature of work, and employment experiences. The best analyses evaluate the author’s position from all perspectives, articulate support and disagreement, and utilize external sources to support your position/perspective. Your position is not an opinion; it is a careful analysis that results in a conclusion for which you have provided additional support.

C.  Relevance to the week’s topic, the field of employment law, and organization management in general

• Restate the key issues identified in A above. Explain why these issues are important to the week’s topics, the field of employment law, and the practice of organization management.   Be sure to make the linkages clear and relevant to what you have learned and are learning in class and in your readings.  Feel free to cite the course readings and other articles or materials.  
• Expand on your analysis in B above by putting the analysis into practical terms. Explain why organizational leaders should pay attention to this topic, how the results of your analysis impact the field, how organizations operate, and how leaders manage. This is not an exhaustive list of what should be included but rather provides context and suggestions for the type of analysis to be conducted. The goal is to produce information the managers can use.

The last two sections, “Analysis” and “Relevance,” are the most important parts of this assignment. It is expected that these sections will be substantive and reflect a significant understanding of the material, analysis relative to the fields above, and impact/relevance to organizations. Students are expected to include the topic headings above in the summary and develop the analysis accordingly.   Give significant attention to linking specific concepts from the articles to specific concepts in the week’s readings and materials. This summary must reference a minimum of two reputable and reliable outside sources, in APA format, utilizing in-text citations and a full reference list at the end.

Make sure that your submission does not exceed the 20% Turnitin threshold in order to be eligible for grading.

Read chapter 13 and 28 of the class textbook and review the attached PowerPoint presentations.  Read chapter 28 in Davis Plus Online Website.  Once done, write an essay discussing the health beliefs of both heritages and if there is any similarity in both culture beliefs.  Also, discuss how their beliefs influence the delivery of evidence-based healthcare focusing on the nursing care.
