...What is a Concept Map? Concept maps, developed by Joseph D. Novak [Novak & Gowin, 1984], are two-dimensional representations of a set of concepts and their relationships. In concept maps, concepts are depicted as labeled nodes, and relationships between concepts as labeled links. Concepts and links in sequence form simple propositions through the words in the nodes and links. Concept maps can be used to represent the knowledge of an individual. Concept maps follow the idea of assimilation theory. Assimilation theory suggests a distinction between meaningful learning and rote learning. Rote learning is often emphasized in educational settings, and consists of simple memorization of information, without concern for relationships among concepts. In contrast, meaningful learning results from linking new information to relevant, preexisting concepts or propositions in the cognitive structure of an individual. Ausubel believes that the most important factor for learning is what the learners already know. Concept maps are designed to tap into a person’s cognitive structure, and to externalize concepts and propositions. What are Concepts? We can define the concepts in concept maps to be patterns of ‘regularities’ in events or objects. Events can be ‘happenings’, while objects can be abstract or real ‘things’ in our environment. Typically, names, symbols or signs of our language denote concepts. We use these concepts when we observe or interpret events and objects....

...CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS: 2.2 What medications might be considered as treatment for this patient, and why? Lithium Lithium is used as a mood stabilize and prevent the highs and lows experienced with Bipolar Disorder. Lithium has been used for many years to treat Bipolar Disorder. If you are prescribed lithium, periodic blood tests are done to monitor thyroid and kidney. Some of the common side effects of lithium are restlessness, dry mouth, and GI upset. Anticonvulsants Anticonvulsants are a type of mood-stabilizing medication used in Bipolar Disorder treatment. Examples of anticonvulsants include valproic acid (Depakene or Stavzor), divalproex (Depakote), and lamotrigine (Lamictal). It is found that the anticonvulsant asenapine (Saphris) can be helpful when treating mixed episodes. Common side effects of anticonvulsants are weight gain, dizziness, and sleepiness. It is rare, but certain anticonvulsants can cause skin rashes, blood disorders, or liver dysfunction. Antipsychotics Antipsychotic medications may offer help for patient who don’t respond to an anticonvulsant. Examples of antipsychotics include aripiprazole (Abilify), olanzapine (Zyprexa), risperidone (Risperdal), and quetiapine (Seroquel). Only one antipsychotic medication is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat Bipolar Disorder: quetiapine. Side effects depend on the specific medication, but can include weight gain, sleepiness, tremors, blurred vision, and rapid heartbeat. Antipsychotic...

...Assignment The first week’s assignment focuses on developing a plan to gain knowledge about key course concepts and apply those concepts in an organization. Begin by reviewing the objectives for the first week of the course as well as the Week One mind map. Next, study the scenario and work briefly through the simulation assigned for Week One. During the process, identify the concepts in the objectives and mind map that the scenario and simulation reflect. Finally, read the assigned text materials to develop knowledge about the concepts. Additional reading of research on the concepts in the library will enhance knowledge further. An essential business skill is the ability to communicate concise information while providing a well-researched response. In this assignment, demonstrate that skill by completing the worksheet on the following page. The example below is from the MBA/500 course using the Global Communications scenario. Use this example to help understand the assignment’s requirements. The worksheet should not contain simple one-word or even one-sentence answers; it should adequately demonstrate, in short paragraphs, graduate-level thinking about the situations presented in the scenario, the simulation, and the reading materials.

When individuals look for employment opportunities with the Starbucks Corporation, they must go through a recruitment and hiring process that the company takes very seriously; which is why those that are hired to become part of the Starbucks team have certain standards and expectations that they must have personally as well as professionally. The concept mapping and the recruitment and selection process of hiring prospective employees is straight-forward that is similar to other organizations, but what makes the Starbucks Corporation’s process unique is their requirements of work ethics that are enforced and duly noted on their website – this lets applicants understand what is expected before even applying.

...We listed down words related emotion and selected four of them, which are aggression, passion, joy, sadness, love and contentment. Aggression was the word given to us and we started mind mapping about it. Then four words are selected which are psychedelic, challenging, competition. Psychedelic has chosen as key word and did mind map for that also and came up with few emotions like irritation, colorful, pattern, confusing. After all these process we were supposed to develop some concept on aggression. Aggression is the emotions that everyone has to face in the daily life. No one likes to be in that emotion and that was the biggest challenge for us. From this we started thinking that how it can be brought into a positive level. So we decided that this would be an aggression releasing treatment for the stressed ones. A space is designed which induce aggression in a normal person and take that aggression into a hyper level and breaks it suddenly and makes an art piece in the end of the treatment. Basically it’s a passage painted with psychedelic design and there are four levels for it. On the first level it’s with checker board, which generally do not make much irritation on normal people, because people generally have a tendency that if they get into a weird place or situation they tend avoid going there. So we don’t want that to happen with space and it’s been design in such a way that after you cross one level the door closes and you cannot go back. The second level includes...
