Juvenile Delinquency

 

The juvenile justice system oversees adjudications for juvenile offenders in juvenile courts. A juvenile offender is a youth under the age of 18 or the age of majority, depending on state statute. A juvenile, or delinquent, is said to commit delinquent acts rather than crimes. This language is consistent with the primary goal of the juvenile system, which is rehabilitation, treatment, and successful reintegration into the community.

For the last 40 years, the United States Supreme Court has rendered several important cases affecting the constitutional rights, treatment, and adjudication of delinquents in the juvenile justice system.

Instructions

Per the chapter reading, write a one-page summary that includes the history of landmark cases that grant due process rights and procedures to juveniles and your understanding of the following Supreme Court decisions, especially as they pertain to the death penalty and requirements for life imprisonment without parole.

Cultural Orientation Paper

 

Compose a Cultural Orientation Paper. Using concepts from Schein (Chapters 12) and Bolman and Deal (Chapter 1), write a five- to six-page paper that describes the culture of your current organization (or an organization which you have been a part of in the past).

While this paper should be academic in nature (using properly-cited quotations and paraphrases throughout), assume that your instructor is about to join the organization! With that in mind, write it as a “cultural orientation letter” to him or her that addresses, at very least, the following:

a.    Explain the organizational culture in detail using Scheins three levels of culture (approximately two pages).

b.    Which of Bolman and Deals four frames (see page 20) best describe your culture? Why? Which culture is primary and why is it primary? Which is secondary and why is it secondary? (This should be approximately one page.)

c.    What aspects of the organizational culture do you appreciate and why (approximately half a page)?

d.    What aspects of the organizational culture do you not appreciate and why (approximately half a page)?

e.    If a new manager (whether mid- or senior-level) were to survive and thrive within your organizational culture, list a variety of dos and donts that he or she should follow (approximately one page).

Include a title page, an abstract, section titles, a title page, and a references pageall in APA format.

8310 Dis 1 week 1

As you make your way through the readings and resources for this weeks Discussion, you begin to realize that social and political forces as well as scientific curiosity shaped the development of modern qualitative research. These readings also make it clear that qualitative research is not a single, homogenous endeavor. Rather, qualitative researchers:

come from a variety of disciplines,
engage their objects of study from multiple perspectives,
present their results in numerous formats,
extend scientific knowledge beyond the confines of the experiment or survey,
engage the audience to be self-reflective, and
potentially illuminate opportunities for social change.
This weeks course of study provides you with a contextual understanding of qualitative research, which will form the foundation for understanding the methods and rationale. These will also help you begin a thoughtful process for considering the choice of qualitative research as your methodology for your doctoral research.
For this Discussion, you will explore the foundations and history of qualitative research methods. You also will consider the unique characteristics that distinguish qualitative research from other forms of inquiry.
To prepare for this Discussion:
 Review the Learning Resources related to qualitative research and consider the reasons researchers choose qualitative research methods for exploring a phenomenon of interest.
 Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help in the Learning Resources to help you search for other books, encyclopedias, or articles that introduce and describe qualitative research.

The Great Gatsby book/movie comparison

Upon release of the 2013 film remake of The Great Gatsby, several critics argued that the modern depiction of the classic text by F. Scott Fitzgerald simply did not do the novel justice. In film: symbols, themes, characters, setting, and conflicts are depicted in a much different way than in a full length text. Now that you have completed your own analysis, it is your responsibility to argue, as a critic, whether the modern depiction of the film maintains the integrity of the classic novel The Great Gatsby.

In your essay be sure to
Identify whether you believe the film maintains the integrity of the text
Analyze how the film and text are different, and how these differences either maintain or destroy the integrity of the text
Include specific examples from the text (pg) and the film to support your argument
Address symbolism, theme, setting, character, and/or conflict in your analysis
Maintain a formal style of writing
MLA Format (Times New Roman, 12pt font, Double Spaced)
3-4 full pages

NRNP 6635 Discussion 1

Discussion: Factors That Influence the Development of Psychopathology 

In many realms of medicine, objective diagnoses can be made: A clavicula is broken.  An infection is present. TSH levels meet the diagnostic criteria for hypothyroidism. Psychiatry, on the other hand, deals with psychological phenomena and behaviors. Can these, too, be defined objectively and by scientific criteria (Gergen, 1985), or are they social constructions? (Sadock et al., 2015).

Thanks to myriad advances during recent decades, we know that psychopathology is caused by many interacting factors. Theoretical and clinical contributions to the field have come from the neural sciences, genetics, psychology, and social-cultural sciences. How do these factors impact the expression, classification, diagnosis, and prevalence of psychopathology, and why might it be important for a nurse practitioner to take a multidimensional, integrative approach?

  • Review this weeks Learning Resources, considering the many interacting factors that contribute to the development of psychopathology.
  • Consider how theoretical perspective on psychopathology impacts the work of the PMHNP.

Explain the biological (genetic and neuroscientific); psychological (behavioral and cognitive processes, emotional, developmental); and social, cultural, and interpersonal factors that influence the development of psychopathology.
