REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS or MORE)

                                                            CLASSMATE’S POST 

The relationship between the leader and followers of Boyne USA resorts was designed to be a team project. The structure he started was the vertical structure which involved the leader-follower. Everett Kircher was an effective leader who had the knowledge and skills to lead the family business. He trained his followers to be leaders by delegating responsibilities.  This way they were able to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to help the company become successful. Kirshner had a vision that he made a reality with the support of his team. He learned early in the business that he could not do everything by himself so he delegated duties to various people and had to trust that they would execute them successfully. For any business to grow and have longevity, you must learn to delegate and give your employees an opportunity to prove that they can make the right decisions that will keep the company going for years to come. After his death, his sons took over the business and divided it into two divisions, Boyne East and Boyne West. They are following their fathers’ vision and the business continues to grow.

The decentralization and delegation were necessary because of the steady and rapid growth of the business. The company’s longevity depended on its ability to adapt and grow.  Because of the company’s rapid growth, it divided into two divisions. This turned out to be a good and positive move for the company as this made them one of the best in their area. The company grew from 40 million dollars in 1990 to over 200 million in 2005. This came from Everett Kircher’s dreams of having a ski hill that grew into the largest private four-season resort in North America.

Analyze whether developmental disabilities are a cause of criminal behavior

For this assignment, you will be presented with five issues. Please respond to all five issues in one cohesive essay. Please include a brief introduction and use Level I headings to differentiate between the five issues.

 

Issues

 

  1. You were introduced to philosopher Jeremy Bentham and his idea of utilitarianism in this unit’s readings. Analyze his ideas that a nation should do whatever is necessary to lead to the greatest possible happiness for the largest possible number of people in society and that man was a “calculating animal” who would balance pain and suffering versus gain when deciding to commit a criminal act. Do you agree with this? Argue your point using research to support your answer.

     

  2. Based on the pure communist social model, how does capitalism lead to crime? Analyze and argue both sides of this issue.

     

  3. Analyze whether developmental disabilities are a cause of criminal behavior. Take a stance on this issue and argue your point using research as support.

     

  4. Describe, in your opinion, how a criminal personality is developed. No sources are required for this section.

     

  5. Assume class division in society causes crime. What is a viable alternative to this system? Analyze and argue both sides of your proposed solution. In your answer, you should identify five major theoretical approaches of identifying criminal causes of behavior and describe which of these would support your proposed solution.

 

Your essay must be a minimum of two full pages, and it should be formatted in APA style. At least three academic resources must be used. Any information from these sources should be cited and referenced in APA format. You only need one reference page for all sections; include the references for all sections on that page.

Bob Heart Attack

Bob is a 50 year old man who just had a heart attack. He has smoked for 30 years, and typically drinks 3 beers per night after work. He works as a truck driver, so he does not get much physical activity during the day and admits he does not work out or engage in any physical activity. 

 

As a health psychologist working with Bob, you need to help him develop a lifestyle change. Using the information provided, and any additional information you would like to add (i.e. family support, ethnicity, family history), discuss Bob’s risk factors leading to the heart attack. Create a plan for Bob to follow (remember week 4-barriers to adherence) to prevent future heart attacks. 

 

Use at least two additional sources and be sure to include a reference page.

Personal crises and increased vulnerability to addictive chemicals and behaviors can stem from any event or situation that a person perceives as intolerable, the key word being perceives.

In your role as a helping professional, remember that events that seem benign to you may constitute a crisis in a client’s life. If a client perceives himself or herself to be in a crisis, whether you agree or not, the client is probably in a crisis and needs your professional assistance. There are a number of crisis intervention models available, and you should choose the model that seems to be most effective.

 

Post a description of at least two factors outside an individual’s control that could result in a perceived crisis and explain how that perception may affect propensity toward addiction. Then describe a model of crisis intervention that might be most effective in addressing these factors and explain why. Support your response using the Resources and the current literature.
