...Legal Process Paper All over America many Americans have been the victims of some form of discrimination. Even innocent children have fallen victim as students to bias teachers who prefer one personality to another. Still, an even more detrimental form of discrimination can be found hidden in the U.S. workplace. Discrimination in the workplace, or Employment discrimination, can “include bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, compensation, retaliation, and various types of harassment” (Cornell, 2009). Though unfortunate, there are only some types of discrimination that are currently punishable through the U.S. legal system. “Employment Discrimination laws seek to prevent discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, physical disability, and age by employers” (Cornell, 2009). John is an employee in the private sector, which means he has protection from discrimination for any of these reasons. Usually, discrimination laws protect minority populations or groups traditionally affected by discrimination in the past. For example, if John is a white male he will not likely be able to file with the EEOC for racial discrimination. On the other hand, if he is Native American or African American, he will find protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In the same way, if John is over the age of 40 “the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of age” (Cornell, 2009)...

...trained counselors that seek to aid couples in their area of need and even the professionals sometimes have to adjust in order to aid in their healing. Couple counseling just as any counseling takes hard work and dedication. The intake process is vital to the couple’s outcome and what’s even more important is how the counselor addresses the couple’s issues after the intake process (Ripley & Worthington, 2014). It is important for counselors to figure out the best treatment to fit the needs of the couple specifically. Ripley provides four questions to aid in those treatment decisions; they will be referred to as AFTR. AFTR stands for appropriate, fit, typical and relevant (Ripley& Worthington, 2014). After reading this week’s lesson the question that stood out most states: Is couple counseling appropriate for this couple? Of the four questions, the most important is the question of appropriateness because in order to begin any treatment one must first find the issue and provide the best resolution according to those issues. Couple therapy can be contraindicated as determined by research studies and discussions amongst clinicians (Ripley & Worthington, 2014). The text breaks down different circumstances in which a couple may need to seek a different form of treatment before couple therapy can be effective. It would not be in the best interest of the clients to start a counseling process that is counterproductive. It is the goal of the counselor to assist clients with methods to...

The Social Service Agency provides human welfare and social work. Our team researched The Department of Human Services role of social services and used of mediation. The Department of Human Services is a large agency that helps millions of individuals daily. The mission of the Department of Human Services is to assist low-income individuals and families to maximize their potential for economic security and self-sufficiency (Department of Human Services, 2012). Under the Department of Human Services, is Family Services? This department has numerous agencies that provide protection, intervention, and social services to meet individual needs (Department of Human Services, 2012). As a team, we will compare and contrast the roles of mediator and advocate by describing the power limitations of each role, discuss under what circumstances an advocate is used during mediation, and which role is most critical to problem solving. The team will discuss the mediator bias, limitations of the mediator, scope of power, conflict of interest, confidentiality, mediator neutrality and impartially. ~”The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”~(Mahatma Ghandi, 1869-1948).

...with the development of healthy eating habits. It is also the responsibility of the parents to continue to contribute to young people’s growing knowledge of nutrition, not only by providing nutritious meals in the home but also by periodically explaining the importance of vitamins, minerals and other essential vitamins. Too much or too little intake of vitamins can lead to serious illnesses. A person can become vitamin deficient if they are lacking the minimum amount of certain vitamins needed by the body to maintain regular good health. If long term vitamin deficiency occurs, a deficiency disease can develop, and this can also lead to probable death. Unlike some other food substances, such as protein and carbohydrates, of which the body needs to consume large regular quantities, vitamins are needed in small quantities. Hence, vitamins, minerals and supplements should be an important part of our daily diet in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle and to avoid vitamin deficiencies. According to researcher Meirner “a deficiency in either vitamin B12 or folate may due to inadequate dietary intake, malnutrition, chronic, significant alcohol intake, problems with gastrointestinal absorption, history of gastric surgery, sever Chrohns disease, pancreatic insufficiency, or the use of certain drugs. Vitamin B12 is synthesized from bacteria and is found in all animal sources. Strict vegetarians; those who do not consume any animal, fish or dairy products are at a higher risk for vitamin B12...

Associations, although autonomous and independent are all affiliated to the National Councils of YMCAs and do share a common mission and similar culture. By using the generic movement each of the students can draw on extensive and varied experience from their own settings. SECTION 1 The importance of working as a team and a discussion on how conflict can be resolved within teams The term ‘team’ is commonly used to describe many different groups both in a work setting and within wider society. Harvey Robbins and Michael Finley define a team simply ‘as people doing something together’ and Rob Yeung says a team is a ‘group of people with shared goal’. An element of inter dependency is also required before a group becomes a team and a more organisationally orientated statement from Rover Cars defines teams as 'a number of people with complementary skills who are committed...

Write a 350- to 700-word response to the following: Explain the communication process of neurons in the brain. List some common neurotransmitters and describe their effect on behavior. Through an electrochemical process, the communication of neurons takes place. Neurons processes all the information in the human body. Neurons are responsible for the transmission of communication in the brain and several parts of the nervous system. Sensory receptors interact with stimuli such as sound, light, pain and temperature which transform into a code that is then carried to the brain by a chain of neurons. When this takes place, systems of neurons within the brain interpret this information. Dendrites play the role for receiving impulses from other neurons and then transmit them to the neuron that they are in. Axons are the fiber that carries the impulses to other dendrites of other neurons.The information is carried along axons and dendrites because of changes in electrical properties which we call action potential. An action potential is initiated when a messenger attaches itself to a receptor. When that occurs, an electrical signal is triggered to be generated through the neuron. Once the signal reaches the end of an axon, which is at the end of a neuron, a neurotransmitter is released and the process repeats. Because of this communication...

...Cervical Cancer Melveyne Aquino Columbia Basin College Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer is a disease in which cells in the lining of the cervix becomes malignant (cancer). There are two parts of the cervix and are covered with two different types of cells. The two main types of cells are the glandular cells, which cover the endocervix, the part closest to the body of the uterus, and squamous cells, which cover the exocervix or ectocervix, the part next to the vagina. The cancer cells that form from the exocervix is called squamous cell carcinomas and the cancer cells that form from the endocervix is called adenocarcinomas. Cervical cancer develops slowly over time and does not occur overnight. Initially, cells in the cervix go through...

...Unit 1 Discussion Board Applying Learning Theories EDU622-1304C-02 Regina Dzwonar Most records acknowledged formal education as existing as least as far back as ancient Greece. The big three names universally known are Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Education at this time was concerned mainly with reason, logic and philosophy. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle differed in preferences of extremes. Socrates is infamous for pushing limits while Aristotle preached balance. Many historians consider Plato the most sophisticated of the three; Socrates taught on the streets of Athens. Sources, such as the American Psychological Association, credit Plato, with founding the first formal institution of education, “After returning to Athens, Plato set up his own school, which was called the Academy. Philosophy and other subjects were taught there, and the Academy continued to produce scholars for many centuries after Plato died.” (Downey, 2006, para. 6). Aristotle, according to legend, was the teacher of Alexander the Great. The most notable theory from this time the Socratic Method, which consists of posing probing questions to students rather than espousing a hierarchy of knowledge. Brief History of its Founding Modern theories such as behaviorism, founded in the early twentieth century, are associated with theorists including Watson, Skinner, Pavlov and Thorndike. Watson known as the father of behaviorism proposed an alternative to the views of Wilhelm Wundt the founder of...

...1. Describe nursing care of the post angioplasty patient. A coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open an area of the arterial blockage in the heart that has become narrowed. This allows better blood flow through the artery and to the heart muscle. It is often done with a catheter that has an inflatable small sausage-shaped balloon at its tip. Coronary angioplasty is being increasingly used as a treatment for coronary artery disease; the proper evaluation and management of patients after the procedure are important issues. Although coronary angioplasty is a complex technical procedure, the methods routinely used to evaluate its results have many limitations. The management of the patient during the first 24 hours after angioplasty should focus on the prevention, detection, and if necessary treatment of acute vessel closure. Assessment: When the patient returns from the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the stability of the patient should be established initially. This will include, but is not limited to, EKG, vital signs, oxygenation level, urine output, cardiac, respiratory, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and gentle urinary assessment. Particular attention must be paid to the peripheral vascular assessment of the lower extremities. Often the patient may return from the cardiac catheterization laboratory with a sheath in place. If this is the case, the institutional procedures for caring for sheaths should be applied. Some institutions, may allow the nurse to remove that...

...Tort Law in Health Care Administration: Examination of Negligence LaJuanda Williams LaTonya Reed John Hill Rita Ignatius Public Health Policy, Law & Ethics, PHS 512 Professor Green-Alexander April 11, 2007 Introduction to the Law of Torts A tort is a civil wrong, other than a breach of contract, committed against a person or property (real or personal) for which a court provides a remedy in the form of an action for damages. Tort includes both an individual personal and professional level which involves the healthcare field. A person who commits a tort is called a tortfeasor which can be held accountable for his or her actions in court (Pozgar 2004). Tort law is an important part of the common law and evolves on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, tort law is still predominately court-created law but legislatures are playing an increasingly active role. One example of this is legislators placing limits on the amount of damages that can be awarded in certain types of court cases (Lipthrott 2005). Although state and federal statutes define some aspects of tort law, contemporary tort law remains defined by judicial decisions. Tort can be an excellent vehicle for viewing the nature of the common law, and for observing how a given body of law evolves daily. The basic objectives of tort law are preservation of peace between individual by providing a substitute...

...Introduction: The first Part of this paper will review the literature to define Classification. Briefly Discuss DSM IV and ICD 10 and list the main categories of clinical disorders. The paper will discuss the main dangers of classification identified as labelling and Stigma which have lifelong implications for those diagnosed with a mental illness. The main advantages of classification such as most appropriate treatment and community education Definition of the Classification system used to Diagnosis Mental illness. As Social workers it important to try and grasp the concepts of how classification of mental illness is arrived at and to have a basic knowledge of the types of mental disorders people can be classified as having so we can understand the basis of a diagnosis. According Mendelson (2001) “Classification refers to ordering of objects into groups on the basis of their relationship. The result is a classificatory system. Nomenclature related to agreed names that have been assigned to disease or syndromes. Taxonomy covers principles and methods underlying the practice of classification. Finally, nosology denotes the conceptual system that supports the strategy of classifying.” ( Mendelson 2001 p. 63) Golightley (2004) text states that classification is an important step towards the diagnosis of a mental disorder. Mental disorder is broken down into various classifications that represent groups or syndromes of symptoms. Thus if a series of symptoms fits into...
