Emotions And Goal Oriented Motivation

Write a paper comparing and contrasting the research methodologies and results of at least two different studies on motivation and performance associated with a specific emotion.
Preparation
This assessment requires you to identify a topic to research and then to examine the results and methods of two studies on the selected topic. The topic must be an emotion and its effect on goal-directed motivation.
An important skill in conducting research is to narrow the focus of your topic to keep the content manageable and to facilitate finding supportive evidence. To identify a topic:
Select a positive or negative emotion that has an effect on goal-directed motivation, and then begin to narrow the focus of the topic.
Continue to narrow the focus of your topic with consideration for other relevant factors, such as age of the research subjects (adults versus children), their gender, their educational level, or other demographic or topical factors. Your goal is to identify a research topic that is appropriately narrow and can be sharply defined, and for which research is available.
Do some preliminary research to ensure that you have sufficient sources for your topic. You must locate at least two peer-reviewed research journal articles on your chosen topic from the Capella library. To find sources, select key words and enter them into the Summon search engine in the Capella University Library. If you do not find sufficient resources, revise the focus of your topic and try again.
Finally, develop a working title for your paper (for example, \"The Benefits of Hope in Peak Work Performance\" or \"Effects of Depression on Adolescent Academic Performance\") that addresses the narrowed and manageable research topic.
After you identify a topic, select two studies to use as the focus for your paper.
Instructions
For this assessment, write a paper in which you complete the following:
Describe, based upon current research, the effect of a selected negative or positive emotion on goal-directed motivation.
Describe how the negative or positive emotion addressed by current research affects the biological, learned, and cognitive components of goal-directed motivation.
Compare and contrast the research methods used in the two selected studies. What is the purpose of these studies? What are the research questions to be answered by these studies? Do the research results address the research questions?
Identify the tools (interviews, surveys, questionnaires) and technologies (telephone, audio/videotapes, Internet) that were used in the selected studies.
Conclude with what you learned from this research and how it may inform or describe your personal or professional behavior in similar circumstances.
Additional Requirements
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA sixth edition style and formatting.
Number of resources: At least 3 scholarly academic resources are included.
Length of paper: The length is a minimum of 5 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page and reference list.

CONFLITING VIEWPOINT 1

CONFLITING VIEWPOINT 1

Conflicting Viewpoint Essay Part 1

The following paper based on the certain issue of the believing game which resists the biases to provide reasons for opposing view from an own point of view (Elbow,2006).The issue of concern is “Should animal used for scientific testing.” By the believing game that animal can use for the testing purpose. The paper based on the study of believing and opposing arguments on the topic.

Approximately 26 million animals across the world are used for the scientific test. Animal testing is generally to ensure the safety of the animal product for human, develop the medical treatment. And other healthcare used. The fact of a scientific test of animal for life-saving which should be supported as no alternative method and may ways and some of animal s are very similar to human.

A scientific test of animal has a different opponents view. The first reason is testing animal only the cruelty of the animals. Cording to the view of opponents, other alternatives are available to research.Thirdly, It is an opposing reason that animals are different from human.

According to biomedical research association, since past 100 years, the animal testing very helpful to save human life.For example, a test of hepatitis C in chimpanzees was succeeded to save a more human life.If the test is happening to save human life, there shouldn’t be any offense.

Firstly, it should ensure animal life will be saved after testing and less harm after the test.If there is an alternative source for testing, scientists will not use an animal.

The scientific test is base on purpose to save our lives, not for any commercial benefits.If animal testing is a purpose for commercial benefit, then it is ethically and morally wrong as a human being.

Ethics

Ethics

Due to crumbling infrastructure, sewage plants in Zimbabwe begin leaking raw sewage into rivers. Within weeks, thousands of people who rely on the rivers contract cholera. The Zimbabwean government denies that the country is experiencing a cholera pandemic, despite thousands of deaths and sick refugees presenting in bordering countries, and refuses to act on the emergency. Can the international community legally intervene in instances when a state is unwilling or unable to control an epidemic?

The above scenario mirrors what occurred in Zimbabwe in 2008, and raises the question of what recourse populations have in the event of a disaster if their host state is incapable or unwilling to provide basic aid and is reluctant to request international assistance. Currently there is no general convention that governs all aspects of disaster relief, in stark contrast to international humanitarian law, which protects civilians during armed conflicts (Davies 2010). On the question of humanitarian access, international law tends to favour the protection of sovereignty and territorial integrity over the protection of populations (United Nations 2007). However, while international law does not currently govern humanitarian disasters, the WHO's revised IHR (2005) lists cholera as one of the diseases about which states are required to notify WHO, due to its potential serious public health impact and its ability to spread internationally. The IHR requires that states request international assistance if they have insufficient antidotes, drugs, vaccine, protection equipment and financial, human and material resources to contain the disease. The breakdown of the public health system in Zimbabwe, the case fatality rate of cholera victims, and the speed at which the disease spread in 2008 all pointed to the state being unable to effectively contain the disease outbreak (Davies 2010). In terms of the IHR 2005, Zimbabwe's 2008 cholera outbreak constituted an emergency and the Zimbabwean government had a duty to accept the assistance offered by WHO and various NGOs. In instances where a state still refuses to accept international intervention in the face of a major disease outbreak, the UN Security Council could become involved. The UN High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change (United Nations 2004) noted that in certain instances:

[T]he Security Council should be prepared to support the work of WHO investigators or to deploy experts reporting directly to the Council, and if existing International Health Regulations do not provide adequate access for WHO investigations and response coordination, the Security Council should be prepared to mandate greater compliance. In the event that a State is unable to adequately quarantine large numbers of potential carriers, the Security Council should be prepared to support international action to assist in cordon operations. The Security Council should consult with the WHO Director- General to establish the necessary procedures for working together in the event.

Due to the possibility of being classified as a failed state (which would have opened the door to possible UN Security Council intervention), the Zimbabwe government eventually declared the cholera outbreak a national emergency in December 2008, and invited WHO to coordinate a Health Cluster response effort with the cooperation of the Zimbabwe health ministry and other nongovernmental agencies.

 

 

n this assignment, you will examine the international legal entities dealing with global health law incidents. Read “Cholera Outbreak in Zimbabwe” (5.2) on pages 68-69 in An Introduction to Global Health Ethics. In this case study, you explore options available for dealing with this health crisis. Write a four- to five-page paper evaluating the steps Zimbabwe should take in dealing with this situation and provide your recommendation on how to remedy a future situation.

Your report should address the following substantive requirements:

  • Examine the purpose of laws.
  • Describe and assess each agency that would be involved in the situation. Include pros and cons for international involvement in state affairs.
  • Develop a law that would prevent such a breakdown from occurring in the future and use reasoning to illustrate why such a law would not be considered intrusive.

Your well-written report should meet the following requirements:

  • Be four to five pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages.
  • Formatted according to Saudi Electronic University and APA writing guidelines.
  • Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of four scholarly articles. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but two must be external.  
  • Utilize the following headings to organize the content in your work:
