Comparing Points of View
A point of view is a person’s opinion about a subject. A point of view can be influenced by various factors, including age, sex, experiences, or beliefs.
To compare points of view, first identify the main issues being addressed and the factors that influence the points of view concerning those issues.
Second, list the arguments that are offered to support the points of view. Evaluate the arguments according to these criteria:
The excerpts below summarize the points of view of two psychologists.
Psychologist A
Just as in the medical sciences, research with animals has resulted in major achievements in psychology. This research has contributed to important benefits for human beings. For example, the biofeedback technique, which I and many other people use to control high blood pressure, had its origins in studies using rats and other animals.
Accusations of cruelty toward research animals are unsupported. A study that investigated 600 of these alleged accusations did not support the charge of cruelty. This is not to say that some instances of cruelty do not occur. However, these instances are infrequent and not typical of psychological experiments. Researchers must follow rigid guidelines to ensure the humane and sensitive treatment of research animals.
Most people do not think that animals share the characteristics that allow them the same rights as humans. Even advocates of animals’ rights condone pet sterilization, disregarding the animals’ right to breed.
Psychologist B
As a graduate student, I witnessed many instances of cruelty to animals in various research projects. Yet, of the many experiments done on animals, only a few contribute to important medical or psychological research. A vast number of experiments are used for commercial purposes: to test new shampoos, cosmetics, food additives, or detergents.
People have to realize that species vary, and tests performed on one species do not necessarily yield the same results on another. For example, the use of thalidomide by pregnant women resulted in deformities in many of their babies. Yet giving thalidomide to pregnant laboratory cats, rats, monkeys, hamsters, and chickens failed to result in deformities in the baby animals. Similarly, if the results of the effects of penicillin on guinea pigs had been applied to humans, penicillin would never have been used on people.
There can be no doubt that animals involved in psychological research suffer. The suffering research animals endure should encourage researchers to find alternative methods for studying various psychological issues. One cannot say that animal research can never be justified. If a single experiment involving animals could cure a major disease, then such use could possibly be justified. However, this situation is rare and almost nonexistent.
Thinking Skills:
Treating violent behavior with pharmacological treatments can be a complicated task. The importance of patient assessment and making differential diagnosis were discussed as being vital to treatment.
Why are patient assessment and differentiating a diagnosis essential to treating a violent episode?
What are the symptoms of mental illness that can be attributed to violent behavior?
Is all violent behavior treated the same?

1. The first part of your paper should contain information on the topic. You need to write down the main ideas and highlight the main points of the film. You can use direct quotations if needed. Avoid your personal opinion in this section. You should write at least three-four sentences about the original film and close the introduction section with your thesis, which will be discussed later in the paper. Make sure your statement is brief and straight to the point, because you will need to get back to it over and over again throughout your paper.
2. The second part should contain your personal thoughts on the subject and where the real work begins. Focus on a main problem or address all of them and describe your opinion. Explain how the material can relate to the modern world, to society or separate individuals. Back your statements with sources (references. Minimum 4) and make conclusions whether you support the author/thesis of the film or not. You need to write down your thoughts on the main ideas of the film backed with appropriate quotes and sources. Remember to stick to the original film and always get back to it, while providing your personal thoughts. However, you are free to add theoretical information to support your ideas. This section is crucial and should contain a thorough analysis of the obtained data.
3. Conclusions should be brief and contain information on your thesis and main ideas, which were shaped throughout the work. You can also refer to the target audience and the impact these conclusions may have on the society. The list of citations should contain a brief but structured information on the sources, used in your work.
Purpose: Stress can have a negative impact upon one’s health. Students will incorporate knowledge of MI techniques to engage a specific population in an evidence-based activity that reduces stress levels. Through creating a stress management plan, the APRN gains experiential knowledge to utilize in their clinical practice.
For this assignment, students will explore a mindfulness technique of interest and apply it to a specific population. Develop a scholarly paper that addresses the following criteria:
1. Identify an intervention useful for stress management: journal, exercise (be specific i.e. running, walking, swimming), meditation, music therapy, equine therapy etc.
2. Research the intervention selected and cite evidence of effectiveness providing cultural considerations that may impact success of the intervention.
3.Outline motivational techniques used to develop an effective stress management plan.
4. Develop two SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time bound) that will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the management plan
5.0Write the paper in third person, not first person (meaning do not use ‘we’ or ‘I’) and in a scholarly manner. To clarify: I, we, you, me, our may not be used. In addition, describing yourself as the researcher or the author should not be used.
6.Include a minimum of 3 professional peer-reviewed scholarly journal references to support the paper (review in Ulrich Periodical Directory) and be less than five (5) years old.
To be effective, a company must learn to motivate its employees to efficiently and effectively meet the goals of the organization. Prior to starting this case study, read Chapter 6 in your text, the article Person-organization Fit, Family Supportive Organization Perceptions, and Self-efficacy Affect Work-life Balance (Links to an external site.), watch the required videos, The puzzle of motivation (Links to an external site.)and What makes us feel good about our work? (Links to an external site.), review the Writing a Case Study Analysis (Links to an external site.) resource from the Writing Center, and review the weekly Instructor Guidance and any supporting information in the announcements.
The Motivation Case Study:
Identify a company that struggles with employee motivation. Make your choice based on evidence from resources you find. Be sure to document these resources so you can include as citations and references in your paper. The company may be currently active or no longer operating.
Not sure how to start? Try googling “Worst companies to work for” or “companies with poor motivation.” Numerous sites list companies that are struggling in differing areas. Once you identify the company you want to research, google news articles or other sites that include information about the company and the situations affecting motivation/challenges.
Research the company and the associated motivational challenges.
As you research, consider this week’s activity about bias to try and rule out commentary that may not be credible. Seek professional sites, rather than just opinions. Check out the What is CRAAP? A Guide To Evaluating Web Sources (Links to an external site.) and this Four Moves & a Habit: A Guide for Web Literacy and Fact Checking (Links to an external site.) resources for support.
Include a short summary about the company.
Note that enough information should be included to inform the reader (your instructor) about the company and the noted challenges/issues.
Identify three to five motivational challenges within the company that you discovered through your research. Support this information with citations for the sources that provided you the information about the organization.
Discuss potential rationales for why the company is experiencing these issues. Support your assertions with credible sources.
Identify at least three content theories and/or process theories of motivation, discussed in this week’s text chapters that could be applicable to determining strategies/solutions. (You are to identify the theories that you think could be applied to improve the organization’s situation.) Consider using headings in your paper to organize this information.
Note that extrinsic and intrinsic motivation are types of motivation and should not be presented as theories, but as variables within a theory.
Discuss Possible Solutions/Changes Needed
Identify at least two strategies that could be applied to improve motivation, based on your reading and research.
Our text suggests that objective reality is often significantly different from our perceived reality and is an important variable to consider when making decisions within an organization. In addition, attribution theory describes how people create the explanations for their own and others’ actions, as well as for the outcomes of applied behaviors. Based on these two premises, formulate an analysis about how the development of our realities explain human behaviors within organizations and industry that can essentially affect rational decision making.
Your paper should include the following:
Summarize the differences between perceived and objective realities and how our perceptions negotiate what we believe to be true.
Discuss how the following affect one’s perception of reality and rational decision making.
Consider using headings in your paper to organize these elements.
Explain why, as a leader or manager of an organization, one should be aware of the bias that our perceptions may have on day to day rationale decision making.
Identify strategies to increase awareness of potential effectors of our ability to make rational decisions based on our developed realities.
