Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review the following Week 1 and Week 2 required resources that focus on globalization, ethics, and moral reasoning. This will assist you in examining your own development of ethical and moral responsibilities as they relate to your Final Paper and its topic.

Read these articles from Week 1:

• From Globalism to Globalization: The Politics of Resistance
• Globalization, Globalism, and Cosmopolitanism as an Educational Ideal
• Transnationalism and Anti-globalism

Read these articles from Week 2:

• Introduction to Global Issues
• A Global Ethics for a Globalized World
• Virtue Ethics and Modern Society
• Classical Stoicism and the Birth of a Global Ethics: Cosmopolitan Duties in a World of Local Loyalties

Reflect: The change of our world from a local economy to a national economy to a global, international economy means that increasingly diverse populations will have to work together to achieve common goals. However, as the economy becomes increasingly global, local economies and people may suffer economic disadvantage or may find themselves marginalized from the rest of the world. Globalization creates ethical dilemmas for which we will need to find solutions.

Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts:

• Explain the implications of globalization.
• Identify at least two ethical issues that go along with the global societal topic you have chosen for your final essay.
• Explain how globalization contributes to or affects these ethical dilemmas.
• Propose solutions to these ethical dilemmas that are feasible financially, socially, and culturally.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough response to each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable required reading materials and/or any other outside sources you use to support your claims. Provide full reference entries of all sources cited at the end of your response.

3. Evaluate the primary ethical standards of the accounting organization’s leadership and values which contributed to approval of the accounting issues and thus created the litigation or fines in question.

Global and Multicultural Perspectives  Please respond to the following:

• Review Table 2.1 in your textbook titled “What Is Distinctive Between Global Education and Multicultural Education.” Select two of the six parameters, e.g., origin, justification, etc., and discuss how the differences in parameters could affect leadership skills.
• Select one of the approaches in shared discourse, Table 2.2, i.e., monoculturism, particularism, etc., about global education, and formulate your own version of how leaders of this approach would implement diversity practices

Peer Response:

Justification

Many of the topics that embody multicultural education deal with race, racism, various socioeconomic issues and human rights. Communication, fairness, and open-mindedness are essential to be a good leader and creating a positive environment. However, the justification distinction can make it tough to implement these leadership skills, more so when talking about culture, race or other human rights issues, especially in multicultural education. Also, because many of the concepts discussed in multicultural education are supported by law it strengthens the concept. Global education is a little harder because even though many of the topics are vastly important and factually supported they do not seem to hold as much weight as the material in multicultural education. So, often when teachers talk about global education it is from the perspective of the U.S. and does not treat each country independently.  

Beneficiary

The beneficiary parameter for multicultural education can make leadership difficult because it can be difficult to convey how the curriculum is tailored towards students of color. White students may feel left out and even those who are minorities may have an issue because they feel that the lecture is incorrect. This distinction for global education affects leadership because depending upon the environment people may not want to hear about different countries or cultures, making it difficult to illustrate its importance.

Discussion 2:

Higher Education Policy Development  Please respond to the following:

• Discuss how policy development can be considered broad based, and provide examples of how this is implemented.
• Debate whether the practice of internationalization has improved schools in the countries described as “host” countries for this practice.

Peer Response:

•    Discuss how policy development can be considered broad-based and provide examples of how this is implemented.

Global education policy barely scratches the surface because it does not deal with the more significant issues and because it lacks legal standing like multicultural education it is harder for it to be as concrete as multicultural education. Global education policy would be broader by including more of a focus on social responsibility, human rights issues, global warming, immigration issues, and race. I am unsure if it is less about implementing and more about people changing the way they think about global education.

Debate whether the practice of internationalization has improved schools in the countries described as “host” countries for this practice.

Herman E. Daly (1999) describes internationalization as the increasing importance of international trade, international relations, treaties and alliances” (Introduction section, para. 1). An example of how internationalization has worked is the unofficial relationship between Taiwan and the United States allowing Taiwanese students to take advantage of our educational resources and universities. Besides the usual benefits of sharing cultures and new ideas, but also helps students to see the U.S and the host nations in a different light, because they are able to learn firsthand.

Assignment: Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff Development Meeting

Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.( Use Indiana State Board of Nursing).

To Prepare:

• Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.
• Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.

The Assignment: (8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation)

Develop a 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:

• Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
• Describe the board for your specific region/area.
  • Who is on the board?
  • How does one become a member of the board?
• Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.
  • How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
  • How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?
• Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).
