In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
  • Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

Assignment 1: Issues with Criminal Justice

/in /by

Prior to beginning this assignment, consider that Messer, Patten, and Candela (2016) provides a helpful summary of life course theory on pages seven through eight. Also, note that Salvatore (2017) provides a helpful summary of life course theory on pages one through two. In addition, consider pages 697–698 in Zoutewelle-Terovan and Skardhamar’s (2016) ALL LISTED RESOURCES PROVIDED IN ATTACMENTS!!!!!!     article which provides helpful summaries of criminological theories. Review information in the Wright (2012) text on processes for law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections. Finally, review the web-based materials FBI: Uniform Crime Reporting (Links to an external site.) https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr and National Institute of Justice (Links to an external site.), https://nij.ojp.gov which support this assignment in for this week.

In this assignment, you will explore a criminal justice issue and an associated criminal justice process. You will also consider an application for criminology that is relevant to that criminal justice issue.

This assignment consists of two parts: researching a criminal justice issue using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library’s database of scholarly journal articles and exploring the issue through the appointed prompts.

Researching a Criminal Justice Issue

  • Choose one article from a scholarly or credible (see Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table for an explanation of each type of resource) source published within the past five years that addresses a criminal justice issue in law enforcement, the judiciary, or corrections, relevant to one of the following areas: poverty, unemployment, education, or illegal drug use.

To find an article from the University of Arizona Global Campus Library, please follow these steps:

*Note: To access the University of Arizona Global Campus Library directly, click on the Writing Center and Library links in your left navigation. Watch the Database Search Tips (Links to an external site.) video for more and see Searching the University of Arizona Global Campus Library

  • Click on the “advanced search” link located under the [email protected] search box
    • In the first search box, type social justice
    • In the second search box, type criminal justice
    • In the third search box type one of the following: poverty, unemployment, education, or drugs.
    • Scroll down to the “date published” limiter and adjust the search dates to include only the last 5 years
    • Click the “search” button .
    • Review your search results and select a library resource to analyze.

Summarizing the Issue and Processes. As you respond to the elements below, think about questions or issues addressed by the author(s) of the source that you select.

In your paper, drawing upon the article and/or other relevant scholarly or credible sources, address the following:

  • Explain a criminal justice issue in law enforcement, the judiciary, or corrections, relevant to one of the following areas: poverty, unemployment, education, or illegal drug use.
  • Describe at least one process for law enforcement, the judiciary, or corrections relevant to the criminal justice issue.
  • Describe an application for criminology that is relevant to the criminal justice issue.
    • To help you with this part, think about how a criminological theory could support a program or approach relevant to the criminal justice issue. For example, the article by Messer, Patten, and Candela (2016) relates life course theory to the use of drug courts.
    • If the article that you choose addresses a theory in criminology, you may use the article to help you address this part of the assignment. If the article does not address criminology, then please use one of the following resources: Messer et al. (2016), pages 7–8; Salvatore (2017), pages 1–2; or Zoutewelle-Terovan and Skardhamar (2016), pages 697–698.

Review

Evaluate a recorded speech using the Evaluation Rubric [DOWNLOAD], with which your own speech will be evaluated.

Before searching for a video to assess, please carefully review the rubric and the presentation Evaluating Presentations (opens in a new window). Once you are comfortable with the aspects of the rubric and what specifically is being assessed, begin searching for a speech online to evaluate.  YouTube is a popular source for speeches. Search for a speech whose entire length is 5–10 minutes, and for which you have both an audio and video source (audio-only speeches will not work).

Watch the speech from beginning to end, paying careful attention to the speaker’s message, the organization of the speech, sources for the information within the speech, and verbal and nonverbal cues. You may need to view the speech multiple times to get an accurate picture of the speaking event, or to observe different parts of the speech in detail.

Respond

Once you feel comfortable with the speech and can assess elements of the speech, please evaluate the speech using the rubric. 

1. Fill in a score for all aspects, and include notes indicating the evidence on which you based that score. Once you have evaluated the speech on the rubric, respond to the following prompt:

  • What kind of speech did you view? Persuasive or informative? 
  • What was the speaker’s main message or purpose for speaking?
  • What were the speaker’s main points? What support for those points did the speaker provide? Was this support warranted? Did the speaker use accurate (credible) and appropriate sources of information for this support?
  • What nonverbal communication did the speaker use to highlight his/her points? Please refer to hand gestures, facial expressions, posture, etc.
  • How effective was the speaker’s performance? How could it have been more effective?
  • As you consider your performance in your first speech, what did you learn or observe from this speech that you can use in your own speaking practice?

2. In your practice forum post:

  • Post a link to the speech that you used
  • Attach a copy of the completed rubric
  • Include your responses to these reflection questions.

Respond to the following questions:

/in /by
The parties involved in this critical thinking assignment’s social contract theory are predominantly: the United States government, the Fuyao Glass Industry Group, and the American workers and citizens of Dayton, Ohio, where the closed General Motors plant was reopened as the Fuyao Glass plant. As explained before the documentary was started, America’s role as a global superpower was established post-WWII and was maintained from an industrial standpoint until the practice of outsourcing began to dominate industrial corporate practices in the 1980s onward. The Chinese government is Communist and therefore takes a much different approach to promoting industry in its country than in America. While America purports to be a democracy with a free enterprise stance on businesses and markets, what role do you feel the American government should have with providing and / or securing employment for its citizens?
The production company behind the funding and distribution for this documentary is Higher Ground Productions. Higher Ground Productions is a production company established by Barack and Michelle Obama, after former president Obama left office. With the current political administration’s slogan of “Make American Great Again,” do you feel there is any bias being presented in this documentary? What is the overall issue (problem) this documentary is addressing? What is this documentary’s claim?
As noted in the two articles assigned for this critical thinking assignment (“Chinese Drones Made in America One Company’s Plan to Win Over Trump” and “Coming to America Chinese Textile Companies”), America (since the early 2010s) is beginning to experience something called reverse outsourcing. Because of the economic climate in many areas of the United States, and the industrial infrastructure many American cities have (for example, all the shuttered factories and desperate workforce), foreign companies are now bringing their manufacturing jobs back into the United States. However, as we saw in the documentary, workers are being paid roughly a third of what they used to make when they worked for American companies, and any discussion of unions is categorically discouraged. Where do you assess America’s role on the global stage today? Where do you see America’s position in the world twenty years from now? Can America compete on the same level with China, given each workforce’s practices?
Would you want to work at Fuyao Glass plant? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

My topic is child abuse

/in /by

 

In Week 1, you will select a topic that will sustain your interest for the next ten weeks. Once that first step is complete, it’s time to begin learning all that you can through the research process. In this first essay, you will inform your readers by providing a thorough examination of the issue you’ve selected.

Your Goal: The purpose of an expository essay is to inform and explain. Your essay is going to help your readers understand the issue you’ve chosen on the same level that you do.  Your job is to analyze various perspectives on the topic you’ve selected and to present them to readers, along with background on the topic.

Remember, you are not offering your opinion on the issue you’ve selected; your objective is to inform and explain that issue. You will have opportunities to express your views on your topic later in the class, but, for now, your paper should be informative, not persuasive.

This means that, as an author, you need to remain neutral on your topic at this point. Part of the goal of research is to allow ourselves to be open to discovering new points of view on a topic, even if we start the process by thinking our minds are made up. Often, students find that their original point of view on their issue does not hold up after they read expert opinions and studies. Being willing to be convinced by research and personal reflection is an important facet of being an educated and fair-minded person.  Once it is time to argue your position on your topic (in the second essay), you will be much better prepared to do so because you have put the work in now to really understand the topic.

Organization Tips: Begin with an introduction that builds readers’ interest in the topic and ends with a concise thesis statement that alerts your readers to the issue you’ll be discussing.

The body of your essay will discuss the important elements of the issue you’ve selected. Those body paragraphs should include topic sentences that encompass each paragraph’s content, the research you’ve gathered from your sources, and a smooth transition from point to point.  You’ll want to provide background information to “teach” your readers about your topic, and you’ll also want to present them with the various perspectives on your topic.  Do this by presenting the views of experts within the topic.  Avoid seeking similar views; instead, the goal is to offer the various different voices within the conversation. 

Don’t forget a conclusion that summarizes the main points you’ve discussed within the body of your essay.

Weekly Breakdown:

To guide you through this process, we’ll work through several steps these next few weeks.  Here’s how they will break down:

Step 1/Week 1 – Select your topic. Remember that you will keep this topic for the whole 10-week class, so give this lots of thought.

Step 2/Week 2 – Construct an annotated bibliography using two to three sources. This process asks you to find solid academic sources and summarize them; it’s extremely helpful in preparing you to draft your paper.

Step 3/Week 3 – Map the debate. Identify and summarize the various positions within your topic; this will lay out what each side of the debate brings to the table AND help you to firm up your own opinions on the issue.

Step 4/Week 4—Submit your Expository Research Essay.

IMPORTANT POINT: One last time, let us remind you that the topic you choose for this paper will be your topic for the entire class, meaning it will also be your topic for the argumentative research paper and the commentary article. 

Paper requirements:

  • Be a minimum of 1000 words, but no more than 1500 (not including the Reference page).
  • Use at least 3 reputable (Links to an external site.) sources.
  • Be in APA format (Title Page, Paper, References)
  • 1-inch margins
  • Double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font
  • Indented paragraphs
  • Third-person POV (no I, you, we, us, our)
  • No contractions
