Week 8 Discussion 1

I have attached the discussion I completed the first time. No Plagiarism please.

Discussion 1: Healthy Couples

Every relationship, to varying degrees of frequency and seriousness, faces a range of common issues. As you encounter various relationships in your counseling practice, you will discover that, while they may share common issues, the issues still need to be addressed or the impact could be profound. Fortunately, as a marriage, couple, and family counselor, there are evidence-based approaches that can help you address these issues.

In this Discussion, you examine healthy and functional marriages or partnerships. Next, you explain the impact of your conceptual framework on your approach to working with couples.

Post by Day 3 a brief description of a healthy and functional marriage or partnership. Explain how your synopsis relates to the resources: Gottman’s work as discussed in the Learning Resources and Family Relationships of Lesbians and Gay Men (Patterson, 2000). Then, explain how your conceptual framework of a healthy and functional marriage or partnership impacts your approach to working with couples.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

Respond by Day 5 to at least one of your colleagues’ postings. Respond in one or more of the following ways:

  • Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting
  • Offer and support an opinion
  • Validate an idea with your own experience
  • Expand on your colleague’s posting

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Toto can you help me?

Utilizing the introduction to this unit and text readings, describe a research problem that you are considering as the focus for your Pre-proposal Assignment. While it is too early to have necessarily identified a true gap in the literature, the two journal articles you located will stimulate your thinking about a possible research problem related to your topic of interest. While you may decide to modify your research problem later, this discussion assignment is the first step toward developing your course pre-proposal assignment. In the description of your research problem, be sure to:

  • Explain why this is an important problem that deserves study.
  • Cite two empirical journal articles to demonstrate that you have begun exploring the literature related to your topic.
  • Cite the course text to demonstrate that you have incorporated an authoritative source on research methods.
  • Describe how it might benefit you as a counselor if studies addressing this research problem were conducted.

All discussion posts are expected to be written at a graduate level, be free from writing errors, follow Standard English grammar, and incorporate correct APA format for citations and references. The suggested length for this posting is 350â450 words.

Thesis Statement for the First Draft: Women are being objectified by a University that has a responsibility to treat women with equality and not as second-class citizens.

Thesis Statement for the Final Draft: The University has a responsibility to treat women with equality and dignity and not as second-class citizens.

Summarization for the Final Draft: Santi DeRosa shares his disgust as to how women are being objectified and used to recruit football players. He is able to identify the women in his life and uses supporting ideas about how coaches use women to help recruit because it is âWhat other schools do.â He also in comparison to his original draft uses numbers and percentages as illustrations to support his argument. DeRosa also outlines the issues caused by using women as recruiting tools such as improper conduct, illegal recruiting practices, and allegations of sexual assault at the University of Colorado. Unlike the first draft, DeRosa then outlines the evolution of womenâs equality by the struggle women had to face to get basic rights and uses this to indicate the strength of women in general. DeRosa also includes his own family members and is able to identify the importance of women in society and the roles they had to play to help support their family. He uses examples about his grandmother as well as his mother working as a seamstress in the 1950âs and 1960âs and how women fought for equal pay. He also describes examples of objectifying women in popular culture and sports such as the âDallas Cheerleadersâ, and âTV Advertisementsâ due to their appearance which is something that was not included in the first draft. He is also able to empathize with how women are treated and also questions the staff as to how they would allow this treatment being as they are women themselves.

Thesis Statement Changes: The thesis statement itself remains the same between both drafts but rather the word placement in the final draft is positioned in such a way that the reader understands from the beginning the biggest issue comes from the University.

My Opinions on DeRosaâs Views: I am in complete agreement with his views and in actuality based on his writing, his supporting documentation, and word choice it makes me quite disgusted with the topic in general. I do feel as if women will continue to be objectified in our society because it has been an accepted way of thinking for such a long time that most people do not have a realization of the issue. It is a known fact that history tends to repeat itself and I think unless each and every single person can identify the issue then objectifying women will continue.

Three Changes between first and final draft and why: The first change that was made between the first and final draft was word placement. The first draft didnât have powerful word choices to help support the topic. For example, Women have made impressive gains in their professional lives, but they have also come to be seen, more and more, as objects. This clearly indicates the struggle women have had to endure as well as some of the celebrated accomplishments women have had as well. DeRosa made this change to sound more convincing and to support his claim through better word choices to ensure the reader would support his view. The second change that was made was to provide an example of the dangers that could happen by objectifying women. For example Improper conduct, illegal recruiting practices, and allegations of sexual assault at the University of Colorado due to these recruiting practices. He did this so that the reader is able to see real life issues with using these recruiting processes and the detrimental outcome of objectifying women and its impact on others. The third change that DeRosa made was to include the evolution of womenâs equality and how objectifying women sets us back in all of the progress that has been made. For example: Over the last hundred years, women have traveled a rocky road to greater equality. At the turn of the twentieth-century women didnât have many of the rights we take for granted today, such as the right to own property and the right to vote. He did this to illustrate how important womenâs rights are and how women in the past have fought to ensure that women are treated equally and an example of this recruiting process hinders the progress that has been made.

project 1

Topic: Curbing Bullying in Adolescents with ADHD

The following sections should be included:

1. Introduction/Problem – This should describe the problem (which may be a research problem or an applied problem), the purpose of the research, and the significance of the research. If your research topic is related to a gap in knowledge, you should clarify what is known and where the conflict or gap in knowledge exists. If you choose an applied problem, identify the issue to be addressed and include an accurate and detailed overview of the issue. In general, include all information that you think is necessary to establish a comprehensive analysis and foundation for understanding your chosen research topic, including a theoretical framework or the theory that is guiding your proposal. This section should address your research question(s).

      Consider the following questions: What is the purpose of the proposed research? How does the purpose reasonably fit within the research problem? Further, what are the assumptions and potential limitations associated with the identified problem or gap in knowledge or applied problem? This section should also discuss your target audience, such as academics, mental health professionals, organizations, and so on. (This may be a broad audience for research that is oriented toward contributing to theory or a specific organization or community for research that is focused on addressing applied problems and interventions.) Discuss your target audience in relation to this proposal and why your research would be relevant for this audience.

     For example, in what way would your research help address how we understand a phenomenon or help an organization address a critical problem? Your target audience will depend on your area of study. For example, for students on a general track in this degree program, your research concept paper might center on researching a general issue in the area of psychology. If you have a concentration in child and developmental psychology, your proposed research must focus on a specific psychological need or issue surrounding children, adolescents, and/or teens. If you have a concentration in industrial and organizational psychology, your proposed research must focus on factors contributing to the advancement of an organization’s performance through application of psychology.

2. Literature Review. This section is an analysis of the scholarly debate on the theory and research related to your research question. The literature review should not be a collection of summaries. Rather, it should be organized according to the message you want to convey and appropriately synthesize the literature into your message. This suggests that you will draw from multiple sources in order to best communicate your points. Organize your review so that it provides a logical argument for the background of your proposed research and how your research fits into the big picture.

3. Research Design. This should include a detailed plan to collect and analyze data, as well as highlight the types of sources you would use. You may choose a qualitative or quantitative approach. However, your choice of method, design, sampling, data collection, analysis, and overall process should be justified and logically fit with your research question(s). Proposals that involve implementation of interventions will have a program evaluation component that must include research design. This section will also require you to discuss the reliability and validity of your measurements. Finally, you should consider how you will operationalize or measure the main concepts/variables you are researching and include a description of your data sources.

4. Ethical Considerations. This should include a thorough explanation of the ethical considerations related to the topic and to your proposed study. Your explanation should address the ethical ramifications of the problem, the population under study, the data-collection instruments and their analysis, and so on. This section should incorporate peer-reviewed literature as well as relevant codes of conduct (i.e., the American Psychological Association).

5. Conclusion. In this final section of the text, you will summarize your study and explain why your proposed research is significant, highlighting the practical implications of your potential findings for your target audience(s). This section should also include an analysis of your research’s potential contribution to the field of psychology.

Psychology

Josh was sitting in his newly renovated office and reminiscing how Kokomo, the mobile apps

company he founded, had grown from a small band with a head count of 5 to a large group

with a head count of 30. His employees, mostly Millennials in their early twenties who were

experts in software design & programming, played a key role in the success of the company.

Specifically, under Josh’s leadership, they had been churning out one popular mobile app

after another via intensive workgroup collaboration.

One challenge currently in Josh’s mind concerns the type of organizational structure that is

appropriate for his company.

Discuss the following organizational structures: bureaucracy vs

team organization vs matrix organization. Examine which of these three organizational

structures is appropriate for Josh’s company and justify your answer.
