Data analytics is a hot topic these days, not just in business but with employers in all fields. Part of the reason that you are required to take statistics, regardless of your field, is that it aids in critical thinking and assists you in analyzing data. Not convinced you will ever need or use Microsoft Excel or data analytics? Not sure why the spreadsheet was even invented or why you’d want to use it beyond this class? First of all, it is important for jobs. The job you may have now, or for jobs you may want in your future.

Read the following articles which explain how many positions, regardless of field, now require Microsoft Excel skills and about the growing gap between the skills job-seekers possess and what is needed in today’s increasingly data-drive world:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/06/you-cant-… (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

http://burning-glass.com/research/digital-skills-g… (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Okay, so you may need to know Excel for jobs. What is the big deal about spreadsheets anyway? Listen to this short, but fun NPR podcast:

http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/25/38902… (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Still not convinced? Try a google search using keywords such as data analytics in _______ and fill in the blanks with your major (e.g., business, marketing, finance, accounting, nursing, sports management, hospitality management). Stick to good sources such as business or professional magazines, organizations, or quality newspaper articles. I’ve included a few in the initial post of the forum for particular majors, but please look further before you try to answer the questions below.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Please answer the questions below in ESSAY format. Do not just write one-sentence or partial sentence responses. Your responses should clearly show that you read the articles and listened to the podcast, so please write enough to demonstrate this and the fact that you thought about the material presented.

  1. Did you use Excel in this class? If so, how and for what specifically? If not, why? Be specific.
  2. After listening to the articles and podcast, do you understand the importance of analytics and how it is changing the jobs available? Write a paragraph outlining the what new things you learned and how they could be valuable in your present or future career.
  3. Find 2-3 quality articles about data analytics in your major or the field in which you plan to work. After reading them, please write another short paragraph explaining how analytics is used in your field and what new things you learned. Based on the articles you read, do you plan to pursue additional training in these areas? Why or why not? Provide citations to the articles you used.

Don’t forget that you must make your initial post by SATURDAY so that other students have time to read and respond to it. You must also make at least two substantive replies to other students by Sunday. Posts should show that you read and thought about what they have said and should add to the discussion. I hope that you enjoy this week’s discussion board. Give it some time and thought and have fun!

NOTE You must post your essay before you can read anyone else’s posts. You should refresh the page after you have posted it in order to see the other posts and replies. Posts and replies made after the due date will not be graded unless the instructor has granted you an extension in advance. Please review the grading rubric for discussion posted in Modules > Start Here to be sure you earn the maximum points.

Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.

October 14, 2017 – Taylor Comments are off for this post.
Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.
Field: Psychology
The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice in current events. Despite great advances towards equality between the races and genders, racial and gender discrimination, as well as class stratification remain serious social problems. To conclude this course, you will use the news media to discover current social issues with regards to race and gender.

To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks:

Using newspapers, news websites, or news magazines, select three current events (within the last six months) that reflect our studies on stratification. One event should represent racial issues, one gender issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination and/or stratification in American society.

Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.

Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles. What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be applied to these current events?

In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to the current events.

How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources.
Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper should include a title page and reference. Your paper should be at least five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.

Examples of ethical dilemmas in nursing essays

/in /by

Examples of ethical dilemmas in nursing essays

Scenario 1: Medical coding in a physician’s practice

Imagine you work in a high-pressure cardiology physician’s office and you are one of two medical coders. Your supervisor is very focused on the greatest reimbursement to satisfy revenue projections for the practice. As a result, you are asked to “up-code” billing. How can the pressure of acquiring the maximum repayment for services lead to manipulating or falsifying documentation?

Scenario 2: Administration of patient medications in the hospital setting

Imagine you are a new graduate nurse working nights on a busy medical unit. You just received a new patient who needs to be admitted to your unit and you just finished medicating a patient with a narcotic injection with a dose greater than ordered. Clearly understanding medication errors may lead to patient injury and even death, explain why a clinician may choose not to report the incident.

Scenario 3: Not hiring a qualified individual because of discrimination

Imagine you are a new human resources director in a nonprofit organization and have been pressured not to hire Middle Eastern candidates by the organization’s CEO. In the United States, discrimination against people based on their ethnicity, race, or cultural orientation is strictly forbidden under federal and state laws. Ethical discrimination may result in the breeding of ill feelings at work, as well as reduced productivity. To eliminate these ramifications, organizations need to put forth increased effort in curbing ethical discrimination in the employment sector. What are some interventions organizations can put in place to prevent discrimination?

Write a 150- to 350-word response for each ethical scenario. Include a title page with your name and your responses.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. Include a title page, an introduction, headings, in text citations, a conclusion and a separate reference page.

What is the history of victimology, and how has it developed?

/in /by

PART 2

Deliverable Length:  3-5 pages

 

You graduated from the AIU Criminal Justice Bachelor Program only 1 year ago, and you are now the victim rights advocate for your county prosecutor’s office. When you entered the criminal justice program, you never dreamed that you would have a career helping victims of crimes to navigate the criminal justice system. Your duties include everything from comforting a victim of a sexual assault to helping the families of murder victims. Already, you have had opportunities to help so many people, and this type of work makes you feel proud of what you do. You are so proud, that it is all you speak about to your families and friends. So when Grace, the chief attorney, asks you to do something, you try to do your absolute best. The following assignment is no different.

Grace, the chief attorney (CA), asks you to draft a report that she will use in her presentation to the county commission. Her goal is to keep the victim witness assistant positions that currently exist and increase the number of these positions in the future. She knows that providing victim advocacy is a relatively new concept to the criminal justice system and that the commissioners are not familiar with the concept that the criminal justice system should take a more active role with victims.

Grace needs you to provide information from 8 of the following 12 areas of discussion:

  • Give a definition of victimology.
  • What is the history of victimology, and how has it developed?
  • Explain how it is different from criminology, sociology, or psychology.
  • Who established the first safe houses for battered women? Where and when were these safe houses established?
  • Who established the first rape crisis centers? Where and when were these centers established?
  • How has the Civil Rights movement contributed to antidiscrimination efforts and the establishment of hate crime legislation and policy?
  • What role have children’s rights groups played in highlighting the problems that child victims face in the criminal justice system?
  • Which organizations might she contact that provide specific advocacy for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and homicide?
  • What services are not provided by government crime compensation programs?
  • Explain the need for all states to require mandatory reporting by religious organizations of child abuse by clergy.
  • How can the media be used to affect change in states that do not yet require mandatory reporting?
  • Research the clergy abuse in a state of your choice, and answer the following:
    • If mandatory reporting exists, how long has this been a requirement? What organizations are involved in tracking and helping the victims with this type of abuse?
    • If mandatory reporting does not exist, what alternative processes exist for reporting clergy abuse?
