...Comm 301 May 8, 2014 A Pentadic Analysis of Hillary Clinton Interview The artifact we are analyzing for our study is a live television interview that Hillary Clinton was giving to San Francisco’s KTVU-TV in late February of 2008. This interview was broadcasted via television and is also available on YouTube and other video media sources. The interview was being hosted by a man named Ross McGowan of KTVU-TV to senator Hillary Clinton, and that within itself makes it a significant artifact. The live interview about healthcare that Hillary Clinton was giving had to be cut short when the New York senator began having a coughing fit. Prior to the cough attack, the interview was directed but not limited to the subject of health care. Senator Clinton was speaking of issues such as the pulling troops from the Iraq war, California’s mortgage crisis, Americas current health care system, and the idea of a universal health care system. In the end of the interview Clinton fails to answer the question regarding her husbands role in her campaign by coughing for the remainder of the interview abruptly ending it. Whether or not the actions by Clinton were intended, speculation of this interview arose. In 2000, Hillary Clinton became the first women to be elected a seat in the United States Senate. At first glance, Clinton’s aggrandizement to such a respectable political position seemed like a victory for herself and the ongoing women’s movement effort. However, the continual reminder of...

...Clinical Interview Author Institution Purpose of the clinical Interview Typically, an initial clinical interview is the first step towards developing the initial DSM-IV-TR diagnosis and treatment plan for a mentally troubled person. This interview follows an unstructured format of clinical interviews. The unstructured interview format has often been criticized for its shortcoming but researchers (Craig, 2003; Miller, 2003) assert the importance of the initial interviews to psychiatrists as a critical tool in diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses. The interview is a typical assessment procedure which involves collection and integration of a patient’s data. It remains the single most used tool among clinicians and practitioners due to its flexibility (Miller, 2003). The unstructured clinical interview is considered flexible because it does not follow any standardized format. This interview will therefore follow an unstructured format to recognize diagnostic clues. The interview will also use diagnostic questioning throughout the clinical assessment for purposes of making a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis. How will the purpose be achieved? The underlying challenge for every clinician is to interview for diagnosis is to sound more conversant with all possible symptoms and to avoid being sidetracked by unnecessary information. To achieve that purpose the clinician must be able to listen for diagnostic clues as well as watch out for symptoms and signs of DSM-IV-TR (APA,...

Judd tried to rationalize the fact that Jim was basically a good guy and he would certainly realize his wrong doings and would surely become honest. Judd became depressed (the next reaction) when he thought that his good friend Jim had actually committed the fraud. Jim also started to reconcile and was in rationalized state thinking that Judd did only the work that he was assigned to by his supervisors. Jim felt remorse because of committing the crime. Jim accepted the fact that he was guilty and let his supervisors know about the fraud that he committed so that further trouble could be avoided. 2. The interview should progress in the following order – introductory, informative, assessment, closing and admission seeking. At first generalized questions would be better to ask Damon pertaining to fraud activities. Then gradually specific, informative. Appropriate questions should be asked to Damon to elicit information regarding the wrong doings. In case Damon’s answers are misleading or he is making an effort to lie in each and every answer then assessment and admission seeking types of questions need be asked. It should always be taken care that questions are asked to...

...INTERVIEW Interview is a conversation led, which involved at least two people, the interviewer and the respondent. This is not a conversation, but the conversation through which the investigator wants to obtain from the respondent data set to study. Therefore, sociologists rightly point to the fact that it is a specific method of testing, which is assumed to work closely with each investigator and the respondent. The interview is a process in which the investigator is trying to influence the study posed questions and get him to give a speech on the subject of research. It is one of the methods, which allows parallel use of another-namely observation. TYPES OF INTERVIEW: Due to the form of expression of the respondents and the way the interview, and also because of the behavior of the investigator and the number of participants, which are used in the social sciences. We can therefore distinguish the following interviews: oral and written, categorized and Uncategorized, overt and covert, individual and collective, and panels. WRITTEN AND ORAL INTERVIEW: In addition to the interviews conducted in a classical sense, ie, by speaking to the investigator of one or more speakers, there are also interviews in which questions are asked in writing (eg, survey) and the answers are given in writing, directly to the questions listed in the questionnaire, or in another manner, for example, for any given researching cards.

...information to solve a specific problem. Primary data research is done by the organization for a specific objective and customized to meet that need. Aakar, Kumar, &ump; Day (2007) define primary data as being collected for a specific purpose. If, for example, an organization is trying to figure out the customer satisfaction rate of it shoppers for a particular product by use of an online survey, the information gathered is considered primary data research. Secondary data research is data information that has already been gathered by a separate entity for a different purpose. They further describe this secondary data as being already available, as it was gathered for a different purpose rather than the solving the present specific problem (Aakar, Kumar, &ump; Day, 2007). An example of this would be population information taken from the Census to be applied as supportive and enhanced data in a marketing plan. Research Tool: Interviews Interviews are a form of primary data gathered for a specific and focused purpose. They are implemented by the interviewer asking the interviewee predetermined questions and noting the responses verbatim. There are several different interview methods including in-depth interviews, online, and over-the-phone interviews, to name a few. Survey Surveys provide an overwhelming amount of...

...INTERVIEW Wikipedia defines a job interview as the “the process in which a potential employee is evaluated by an employer for the prospective employment in their company, organization or firm”. AICPA says “An interview can be best be described as a professional conversation conducted with a specific purpose or goal in mind. The trust of an effective interview is to gain knowledge and information that is pertinent to the enquiries. An interview should generally strive to answer basic questions: who, what, where, when, how and why”. Redelman G.F says “the purpose of an interview is to gather information about the application’s competence and work experience so that you can select the best qualified candidate”. Interview Guiding Principles Your goal is to have a fair and effective process for conducting interviews. Statutes governing fair employment cover the interview process as well as the selection of the candidate. To ensure fairness, you should: * Conduct structured interviews in which each candidate is asked a predetermined set of questions and all candidates are measured against the same criteria * Treat all candidates in a fair, equal, and consistent manner * Eliminate cultural or other forms of bias in the interview process * Evaluate candidates effectively by developing and asking a variety of questions, including direct, open-ended, and situational questions * Keep your top candidates interested by completing the interview process quickly...

Kartik had already type-casted Priya and formed his judgements about her. He was not willing to understand her better even when he had the chance. * Cross-gender conversation – Kartik was not comfortable in conversing with Priya as he was not very open, and had drawn boundaries around him so he did not deal very well with the whole process and that was a barrier in their communication.

Michael Kirby AC CMG THE MAIN TASK OF MODERN LAWYERS Although we still describe ours as a common law system (to distinguish it from the countries of the civil law tradition), the label is now looking somewhat dubious. The distinctive feature of contemporary Australian law derives from the overwhelming importance of the laws made by or under parliament. I refer to statutes, regulations, by-laws, executive instruments, rules of court and all the other ways in which the written law now manifests itself. In my youth, the statutory law of the State of New South Wales was collected in twelve manageable volumes, supplemented by a threevolume index1.
