Hyperactive condition

Charlie is an 8-year-old boy who is having difficulty making friends and sitting still in class. When he goes to school, his teacher complains that he can’t sit still. He will sit for 3 minutes but soon after he starts bouncing his leg, and then he begins tapping his pencil. Shortly thereafter, he starts rapping lyrics under his breath. He is performing well in school, but his behavior is distracting others.

Charlie isn’t hyperactive like this at home, but his mother is concerned. His mother wants you to prescribe him Xanax for anxiety and Adderall for ADHD. After you do an extensive interview with Charlie, you realize that he is just bored in his U.S History class and would rather be playing basketball in P.E.

However, Charlie’s mother insists that you write a few prescriptions. Research suggests that medical professionals (Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistant’s, etc.) are often pressured to write prescriptions even when they don’t believe that it is the best thing to do for the patient.

Blogs

Your task is to produce two 500 word blog entries (overall word count 1000 words +/- 10%). One of these relates to the knowledge of the topic and one relates to reflection. Both blogs must be completed for this task. The blogs are designed for you to demonstrate your understanding of the topic, demonstrating analysis of critical issues and reflection on what you have learned and the implications for your own practice. This artifact is designed to achieve and assess learning outcomes 1, 3 and 4.

Blog 1

You should produce a 500 word blog entry, choosing one topic from the list below:

Issues in prison (such as overcrowding, drug use, culture etc.)

Effectiveness of community sentences

Use of the third (voluntary) sector in prison and/or probation services

Blog 2

You should produce a 500 word reflective blog based upon your learning from blog 1. You should consider what you have learned and how this might impact your practice. If you are not currently working with cases you might consider how this might inform future practice. You might consider the extent that exploration of the topic has challenged your own understanding and values. You may refer to a case in this reflection if you feel this illustrates your point (please use a pseudonym or initials) but this should be as concise as possible.

Additional Guidance:

Your blogs do not require an overall introduction and conclusion. Your blogs must be underpinned by the academic literature. Your blogs should include a single reference list at the end to cover both blogs. The references for this artifact must be in APA 7th edition. Include an overall title for the piece and clearly identify your blogs with sub-headings. You are encouraged to use a model of reflection to aid your reflective blog (for example, Kolb, Gibbs, Driscoll etc.).

How does the problem manifest in this situation. What are the events/facts in the case that stem from the problem. In other words: what are the symptoms of the problem?

Leadership Case

Clearly articulate the problem (one key problem). For example, if you go to a doctor and say: I have a runny nose, I have a sore throat, and my head hurts – the MD will, based on their expertise in the field, state that the overreaching problem is the flu (and not that your nose is runny which is only a symptom of the problem). Similarly here, once you identify all the issues/symptoms – based on the expertise you have from this class – identity the overreaching problem.

o State the problem (Support your statement with class material – why is this a problem? Emotional control/maturity, culture, leadership, organizational change, bureaucracy, perceptions, power dynamics/powerlessness etc.)

o How does the problem manifest in this situation (Facts from the case) – what are the events/facts in the case (i.e. runny nose) that stem from the problem. In other words: what are the symptoms of the problem?

o What are the consequences (i.e. How may this problem influence others, the organization, teams etc.). (Conclusions based on identified facts)

Sociology of Culture

Essay Assignment #3 . Discussions may go beyond this date and will be posted in the discussion board.

Material culture embodies the non-material, and a deeper understanding of cultural content, images, ideas, and representations from the various interpretive readings in your text, MEDIA AND CULTURAL STUDIES, as well as the additional readings on the “Evolving Monument” and the social construct of the “Statue of Liberty”, building, placement, and generational viewing are preparations for doing an observational analysis of culture, materially and non-materially.

The cultural production process and culture consumption processes are open to interpretations through the encoding/decoding process. Sociologically, we can use significant categories like age, gender, class, race/ethnicity, nationality, religion/sprituality to establish dominating patterns of representation. The Essay requires observations, documentation, and analysis of cultural embodiment in this project on monuments.

STEPS:

Identify and select a monument in your community (your LI town, city borough, what you consider to be your physical community. You will make at least 2 on-site visits to the monument, photodocumenting the monument, any textual signage, the setting of the monument, any observations of other people (socially distancing) who visit to the monument to see the monument or to use the space for other purposes. What is “private” about this space? What is “public” about this space? Is the setting meant to foster community engagement in the public sphere or is it designed o foster private reflection…or both?

You will photodocument and you will need to write notes of your observations to use in your essay.

Format:

5 typed pages in the following order: (plus attachments)

Page 1: Name (the official name and location) of your monument. Include 2 of your photoimages.

Page 2, 3, 4: In sentences & paragraphs, describe the material aspects of the monument and describe the non-material (symbolic) representations and meaning of the monument. Start with what is “officially” designated. You can add interpretations of multiple meanings based on age, race/ethnicity, gender,,, class, and other sociological categories that imply differential perspectives.

Use your photos as a springboard, and write your descriptions of the monument, the setting, and the “interaction” of others in the space of the monument. What is said? Did you engage anyone in a conversation about the monument.

Does your monument have any history or current responses (like the wave of anti-confederate protests and alterations of confederate statues)? If so, what? If not, do you think there should be some type of “alteration” removing, defacing, relocating….”?

Page 5: Discuss your views on these representations. Are there images that you identify with? Are the images/representations those that you believe should be changed? If so, in what form?

Attachments: Attach more of your photos; you can use thumbnails for multiple images, limit yourself to 4 pages.
