this is the work I done so far. please follow suit.
My Integrative Project will be a brochure and a webpage will target Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. This will include all races, religions, both male and female, and the age group 18 thought 65 years of age. The webpage will also help those veterans Post Vietnam War and after words. The brochure will be writing in simple English that a avenge person can understand. The brochure is to help those understand what PTSD is and what they can do to get over it or have at least a better quality of life with PTSD. I will be showing the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans that are active and deactivate the brochure to see if they can understand it and if it is any help to them.
I will also show the Military Psychiatrists and Psychologists the brochure to see if everything in the brochure is proper and written right on PTSD for the veterans. I will include in the brochure where to find help for PTSD for themselves and their family. What they can do to help themselves when they are under stressful time. Like they can listen to peaceful music, meditation, exercise, or even sit by them self in peace and quiet.
My research in the area of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has the capacity to be particularly valuable to the field of educational psychology today in light of the new generation of at-risk individuals returning from combat. Individuals returning from military combat are among the most vulnerable demographics to PTSD and its related consequences of emotional instability, psychological despair, substance abuse and a host of other war-related dissonances. In the wake of the protracted conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, it has become increasingly apparent that there is a need to prepare through better understanding for a new generation of individuals that are highly vulnerable to the PTSD and its related consequences. The research that I have conducted therefore considers PTSD in light of several different qualitative research approaches with the intent of verifying its pertinence in the field of educational psychology.
These will lend insight into the various ways that PTSD might be better understood, especially with a focus on the way that this effects family and children of combat veterans. For practitioners of educational psychology, it is important to understand parental PTSD as a predicator of the emotional, educational and social orientation of the child. This discussion is preempted by the understanding that many veterans are almost inevitably prone to some degree of the condition known as PTSD. This may be characterized as an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat. (NIMH, 1) In the particular case of this discussion, military combat is a cause of PTSD that can have devastating long-term outcomes for soldiers, their families and especially their children. In the case of the current War in Iraq for example, where the United States has experienced heavy combat losses, where civilian casualties have been massive and where soldiers are under a constant threat of ambush or attack from an unwavering local opponent, the occurrences of PTSD have been extremely high.
For the generation of children now in their early education, many will have experienced direct exposure to a parent who is a combat veteran. And as findings demonstrate, it is very common for such veterans to return home with continued difficulty coping with the inherent trauma that is exposure to wartime conditions. Indeed, studies estimate that as many as 500,000 troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan will suffer from some form of psychological injury, with PTSD being the most common. (Eliscu, 58) The outcomes of this condition will run a wide range of symptoms that impact the ability of individuals to cope with the pressures of everyday life, to relate to those who have not experienced the traumas of war, and heightened propensities toward violence, toward crime, toward alcoholism, toward substance abuse and toward depression. Such is to say that the real and tangible outcomes of this condition suggest a detectable sociological problem potentially afflicting in some degree an entire class of Americans and rendering their children vulnerable to dysfunctional homes, physically abusive parents and irrational behavior in a primary caretaker or role model. These conditions can also be compounded by the financial strains of unemployment which also are often associated with PTSD.
This denotes that comprehensive research on the subject should help to improve the understanding within the field of psychology of the dangers and risks facing the children of combat veterans. This may help such practitioners to identify signs of this risk in children and take measures to mitigate said risk.
An Intervention Approach to Children of Combat Veterans with PTSD
As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have plodded on, the consequences to our servicemen and women have only grown greater. Those who have served the United States in these particularly protracted and violent conflicts are experiencing a range of physical and psychological consequences that account for a generation of individuals suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Moreover, the consequences of PTSD are taking a toll on the families to which these military personnel are returning, with the symptoms of depression, mood swings, substance abuse, severe panic attacks and violent or abusive behavior impacting the children of combat veterans. The research conducted here under the umbrella of educational psychology is intended to produce the groundwork for effective intervention methods where these at-risk children are concerned. The discussion below will drive the nature of such intervention by helping to characterize and produce features for identifying children who are at a high-risk of the consequences of parental PTSD related to combat experiences.

First and foremost, this requires a fuller understanding of the experiences of combat veterans returning home from places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Even as our study focuses on the impact of PTSD on the children of returning combat veterans, we are able to predict certain tendencies in response to combat situations also using the field of educational psychology as our lens. This is because for many combat veterans, a predisposition to post-combat disturbances can be predicted according to childhood experiences. According to the text by Ford (2009), one group of researchers assessed high-risk childrens exposure to maltreatment, abuse and other traumatic stressors beginning the in first year of life and have re-assessed their participants several times over the course of between a decade and more than two decades. Morgan and colleagues (2008), and Vasterling and colleagues (in press) have applied this proactive approach to military personnel, measuring their bodily and psychological stress reactivity while they were still in training prior to deployment to hazardous war-zones such as in Iraq. (p. 52)
This denotes that there may be a cyclical connectio between traumatic childhood experiences, combat-related trauma and the eventuality of traumatic childhood experiences for children of combat veterans. This imposes an interesting set of questions upon our research, primarily as these relate to the experiences of the children of combat veterans. It is often the case that involvement in the military is familial in nature. Many who enlist for service are the children of former servicemen and women, often encouraged by familial commitment to American military service or by an upbringing within the context of a military community. This means those as we draw connections between childhood traumas and susceptibility to PTSD following later combat, we can begin predicts and preemptively treat the emotional and psychological consequences for the child growing up in a military community or a service-oriented family. Certainly, such children can be characterized as being in a high-risk group both for such consequences of parental PTSD as family dysfunction, physical abuse and emotional tumult and as being high-risk for PTSD resulting from their own eventual service experiences.
One feature that only magnifies this risk is the tendency on the part of servicemen and women to avoid treatment. Many choose to grapple with the emotional trauma privately, with the repercussions to this approach often being felt by the family. According to the research conducted by Gould et al (2007), this is because there is a tendency on the part of military personnel to view psychological illness as being stigmatized. Social, cultural and personal factors prevent many from seeking the necessary treatment. As a result, it is often so that children of returning combat veterans are at high-risk but without the necessary attention or intervention on the part of educational institutions or psychological support systems. According to Gould et al, Within both the military and civilian populations, stigma is a serious issue preventing help-seeking and reducing quality of life. The results suggest that TRiM [Trauma Risk Management] is a promising antistigma program within organizational settings (p. 505)
This may help to inform the intervention strategy to which our research inclines the field. By executing a form of Trauma Risk Management that is geared toward identifying and treating veterans and their families, it is possible to engage at-risk children who might otherwise slip through the cracks of the system without detection. As the discussion above shows, it is up to the military and educational institutions to identify at-risk children preemptively and to subsequently engage they and their families in Trauma Risk Management strategies.
Ultimately, the research encountered in this area denotes that PTSD can create a negative environment for a family and its children. It is rare that the consequences of this combat-related disorder do not extend beyond the impacted individual to disrupt the functionality of the family unit. The research that has been conducted here throughout is intended to inform the steps necessary for conducting a meaningful intervention. As the research shows here, a failure to do so could result in a perpetual cycle of psychological instability and combat-related disorder from parent to child. By identifying these risks early and engaging in meaningful treatment strategies, we have an opportunity to improve the mental health prospects for the children of combat veterans, many of whom will themselves be exposed to the psychological risks inherent to military service.
The present research project is intended to provide guidance for an intervention program relating to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In particular, because this project is initiated from an Educational Psychology perspective, the emphasis will be on the impact that PTSD may have on the families of those impacted and particular on children. With a generation of soldiers returning from combat situations in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are countless new cases of PTSD emerging every day in the United States. This impacts families and children directly. Therefore, the research conducted here is driven by the need to better understand PTSD, the impact it has on combat-veterans and the toll that this levies on families and children. The sources consulted and annotated here are intended to provide a comprehensive basis for the research conducted thereafter.
The National Institute of Mental Health (2007) provides our research with the most basic and grounded definition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Here, one of the leading organizations in the mental health community provides our research with a concise overview on the nature of the condition, its usual causes, the leading identifying symptoms and some courses of treatment. Of particular value as we delve further into the interest of promoting an intervention are the various links from the website in question that lead to various organizations or support groups centered on PTSD. These denote that there are group therapy, family therapy, child support and other such intervention groups, many of which are likely to present as valuable advocacy as we move toward a more pronounced intervention strategy.
This condition is further elaborated by the article in Rolling Stone chronicling the experiences of Blake Miller, a solider made iconic by a photograph taken of him during the war in Iraq. Though the photograph would be used to represent U.S. troops as bold, gritty and heroic, the article describes Miller as one of countless soldiers returning from the war with a bevy of symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Nicknamed the Marlboro Marine, the article tells of Millers traumatic experiences during the war and, most importantly to our studies, tells of the Millers vain effort to return to some state of normalcy. As the article reports, Miller's nightmares, insomnia, heightened alertness, self-imposed isolation and persistent recollections of his seven months in Iraq are all classic symptoms of PTSD, an anxiety disorder that results from exposure to an event so psychically frightening that the aftershocks continue for months or even years. Studies estimate that as many as 500,000 troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan will suffer from some form of psychological injury, with PTSD being the most common. Miller hasn't been to a doctor in over a year, and, like so many vets, he seems to have fallen off the government's radar.
This is an important point of consideration because for far too many soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, it is common to lose contact with the government for which they have sacrificed so much. In the case of the subject of the article here, we find a strong impetus from some mode of intervention, particularly given the subjects proclivity toward substance abuse and violent thought patterns. Where our study is concerned, this article denotes the need for more effective contact and better mental health treatment plans between the government and its discharged soldiers.
The Ford (2009) text is a valuable and comprehensive overview of the condition known as PTSD as well as its various causes, symptoms, incarnations and courses of treatment. This serves as an ongoing reference text with particular relevance to understanding the impact that PTSD may bear on the individuals afflicted as well as on the friends, families and support systems surrounding them. The text addresses PTSD with a detailed consideration of its characteristics as a mental disorder, with specific assessment of its epidemiology, etiology and neurobiology that can lead to this condition. This helps us to recognize in the course of this research path that there are a bevy of characteristics that might predispose one to a PTSD response to traumatic events, that there are biological as well as emotional reasons for the impact levied by PTSD and that those who suffer from the condition may exhibit a wide variance of symptoms that many not always immediately point to PTSD.
The text helps us to recognize that oftenPTSD symptoms will emerge gradually and intensify without treatment. This means that a condition which may appear to the afflicted as manageable may yet spiral out of this individuals control. Accordingly, the Ford text offers a wide range of treatment avenues which are intended to respond to the individual needs exhibited by individuals suffering with PTSD. The text even enters into a discussion on how best to prevent PTSD, indicating that while it may not be possible to avoid traumatic events, it is possible to respond to said events by working toward immediate counseling, coping and confrontation of a trauma. The disorder can often be produced in the eventuality that one fails to confront initially traumatic events.
Likewise, the article by Gould et al (2007) is constructive in building toward research that is based in the notion of intervention. The primary foci of this article are both the management of effective intervention strategies and the reduction of the influence that social stigma plays on preventing sufferers of PTSD from seeking treatment. This is particularly so where, as in our study, military service is concerned. That is because the military carries with it a distinct set of cultural tendencies which defy the rational pursuit of treatment. There is, the article explores, a certain stigma related to admitting emotional or mental disorders among military servicemen that prevents many from seeking or receiving treatment. This helps us to understand in our research that intervention may come up against the obstacle of individual subject resistance. This denotes a second level of interest in the article in question related directly to its assessment of Trauma Risk Management. This offers are particular mode of intervention designed to arm those vulnerable to the condition, such as combat or military veterans, with the mental instruments to cope with its consequences.
This denotes that there do exist myriad treatment options and approaches. According to the text by Hersen & Biaggio (2000), there are arrays of treatment modes which may be relevant to the present condition. In this discussion, a focus on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) contributes to the selection of the Brief Therapy approach, a method of cognitive behavior therapy which is particularly suited to the notion of examining fears and removing the irrational schema through which these fears are maintained and magnified. To this end, the text by Hersen & Biaggio stresses this idea that less nuanced approaches to therapeutic treatment have tended to cast too broad a net when attempting to treat disorders. Accordingly, the text reports that clinicians must consider interventions that address the clients full range of symptoms and advocates a symptom-focused, rather than disorder-based approach to treatment planning. (Hersen & Biaggio, 6) This points to the chief identifying features of brief therapy, which though it encapsulates an array of differing treatment approaches, refers to a host of approaches which pay a focus to the specific nature of a problem and the application of direct intervention. This is to say that brief therapy persists with an emphasis on drawing on current experiences in order to make immediate changes in the clients perception and interpretation of events. This will be closely considered in the design of an effective intervention strategy.
Where the Hersen & Biaggio text focuses on a behavioral treatment mode, the text by Lipsey & Wilson (1993) focuses on the implications of treatment strategies relating to mental or emotional disorder. The article makes the argument that through meta-analysis, it is possible to accurately evaluate the usefulness or effectiveness of selected treatment strategies. The text does not focus directly on PTSD but instead considers this as one of many possible mental health maladies for which treatment options must be evaluated. Accordingly, the study would find that meta-analysis confirms the value and at least partial effectiveness of behavioral therapy as a way to reduce or reverse the effects of certain emotional illnesses. According to the article in question, Lipsey and Wilson found that well-developed psychological, educational and behavioral treatments generally have meaningful positive effects. The authors conclude that the first 15 years in which the meta-analysis techniques were used yielded not only dozens of well-executed, systematic meta-analytic reviews demonstrating the usefulness of this technique, but also evidence of the effectiveness of a wide variety of psychological, educational, and behavioral treatments. (p. 1181) At the very least, this should stand as a way to examine and verify modes of intervention or treatment selected by the present study.
The research by Spinazzola et al (2005) points to the problem of PTSD treatment which tends to largely overlook those suffering from a severity of overlapping symptoms. The primary argument made by the article in question is that the comorbidity between PTSD and certain conditions that are viewed as excluding factors for the isolation of the PTSD condition is sufficiently high to reconsider this approach. Indeed, one might support the argument from the research endeavor reported in the article that many of the severe psychological conditions that might prevent direct treatment of PTSD constitute, in combination with PTSD, their own unique syndromes.
According to the article, severe comorbid psychopathology, a common feature of treatment-seeking individuals with PTSD, emerged as the predominant reason for exclusion across studies. (p. 425) Given that this is a common feature among many of the combat-veterans considered in our intervention, it is clear that treatment methodologies concerning PTSD should also be trained toward the treatment of psychopathology and the correlating condition produced by the overlapping of this and PTSD. This will be essential to our consideration when designed a suitable intervention program that accounts for an array of overlapping symptoms. Where our study is concerned, this should dispel the notion that intervention should only focus on the PTSD and should instead contribute the perspective that such treatment is likely to require a comprehensive knowledge of related or overlapping conditions as well.
The article by Van der Kolk et al (2007) indicates that there is a need to promote treatment approaches that are not strictly drug-based. Quite frequently in todays psychological treatment discipline, the article argues, the knee-jerk reaction is for therapists to match subjects with pharmacological treatment strategies in order to achieve rapidly detectable results. There is cause to consider that this strategy is not an effective way to approach PTSD. This is primarily because PTSD, in and of itself, is not inherently a chemical, biological or inborn disorder. Frequently traceable to specific events and therefore to specific cognitive processing disorders, the article by Van der Kolk et al (2007) proceeds from the position that it may not be most optimal to treat PTSD with drug course strategies.
The study in question would include 88 participants, all of whom had been previously diagnosed with PTSD and related symptoms denoting a stress-related disorder. The study would use the DSM-IV-approved Clinician Administered PTSD Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory-II in order to measure subjects both before and after treatment intervention. Subsequently, individuals were divided into pharmacological and therapeutic treatment groups. The former were given a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) called fluoxetine while the latter will be given a placebo and engaged in an eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
The major impetus for the research is quite a compelling one. According to van der Kolk et al (2007), comparing the relative effectiveness of pharmacotherapy versus exposure therapy is particularly relevant in the treatment of PTSD, since the SSRIs are widely used to treat PTSD, particulary in primary care and health maintenance organization (HMO) settings, where little attention may be paid to helping patients process their traumas. (p. 2) The research ultimately supports this assumption, revealing that roughly 75% of adult-onset participants receiving therapeutic treatment would show end-state functioning according to the aforementioned measurement tools. This would compare to a stunning 0% achievement of end-state functioning for those just receiving the SSRI. This is a particularly eye-opening to our study as we consider possible intervention strategies, with the proper caution being taken where drug-based treatments are concerned.
In support of the claims expressed in the article by Van der Kolk (2007), this article goes further to suggest modes of treatment for PTSD which are highly cognitive in nature. This helps to serve as a counterpoint to the tendency toward the use of pharmaceutical treatment in virtually all mental health circumstances. Here, the authors support the use of a strategy called mindfulness, which promotes an intensive probing of a condition so as to get to it roots. By promoting this strategy of greater intellectual investigation of a condition, treating therapists can help to uncover some of the more complex individual roots to ones pathos. According to Vujanovic et al (2011), in recent years, clinicians and researchers have observed the increasing presence of mindfulness in Western mental health treatment programs. Mindfulness is about bringing an attitude of curiosity and compassion to present experience. (p. 24) This suggests a degree of ideological progress in the field of Western mental health treatment that diverges from a collective dependency on pharmaceutical-based treatments. We are inclined to view this as more relevant to the construction of a meaningful intervention strategy for the subjects of the present study.
The text by Weiner et al (2003) is intended to provide an umbrella reference to the field of educational psychology. This apprises us of the relevance of childhood development, family circumstances and individual needs to the psychological growth of the individual. Ultimately, our study will focus on the impact levied by PTSD on individuals and their families. The impact levied on children in particular is of importance. The text by Weiner et al offers a synthesis of idea on how mental health properties and contexts can effect children, helping us to draw a direct connection to the likely consequences of untreated PTSD in a parent returning from military combat.

Engagement Phase: Examination of Self and Others

Focus on examining similarities and differences in engagement strategies with clients. Each student will first conduct self-examination of how he or she would prefer to be engaged in a professional social work relationship as a client, determining what personal and cultural values, beliefs and preferences are held. This will then be contrasted by selecting a hypothetical ?client? who will differ in diversity profile from the student (e.g., racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation or other characteristics)

A similar analysis of the engagement phase with this hypothetical client will be conducted, focusing on cultural values, beliefs, and behaviors that are described in the literature as related to the chosen diversity profile.

Concepts must be supported by the professional literature.

Scenario
***Student is a middle class African American young adult woman from a large city. She is a Democrat Liberal, educated and from a 2 parent household.

***Hypothetical ?client? is middle/low class older white male from rural South Carolina. He is a Republican Conservative, married and retired from a factory job.

I need (20) twenty-page essay on the World Literature course.
There are sixteen separate questions that need to be answered thoroughly.
You will need to use about 1 to 2 pages depending on question.
I'll include the literature textbook materials.


1) Addressing Love and Loss (Read p. 305)
Donne's poems deal with some of the great tragedies of life: losing someone you love and facing your own mortality. This journal assignment asks you to think about your response to these events.

Have you ever left someone without knowing exactly when you will see that person again? If you were to leave someone you loved very much, what would you say? If you were the one being left, what would you want to hear?
Write down a few thoughts about an appropriate way to say good-bye and things to say.
Think about these as you read "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning." Consider how your answers would change if you knew that you would never see that person again.



2) Responding to Literature
Answer the following questions in your essay. Please write your answers as complete sentences.

a) Metaphysical poets have plenty of critics. Many people find the images of metaphysical poetry contrived. Do you agree? Samuel Johnson, an 18th century writer, described metaphysical conceits as "the discovery of occult [hidden] resemblances in things apparently unlike . . . the most heterogeneous [dissimilar] ideas are yoked by violence together." Do you think that metaphysical conceits work-that is can you draw meaning from the connections they make between dissimilar things? Support your answer with specific examples from the poems. Your answer should be written in the form of a paragraph and should be at least five sentences long.

b) In "Death Be Not Proud" Donne personifies death. How does this poem make you feel about death? Does in make it seem more or less frightening? How does it change your perspective on death or dying? Write at least a one-paragraph response. (Read pages 307-309)

c) Writers convey their tone through their diction (word choice), images, figures of speech, and the details they choose to include. Rhetoric refers to the art of using words effectively to communicate. How does Donne's tone in "Meditation 17" support the point he is trying to make? Your answer should address what the tone of the passage is and the techniques (rhetoric) Donne uses to achieve this tone. Respond in paragraph form and use at least three specific details from the text to support your answer. (Read pages 312-313)



3) Prewriting a Modern Parable (Read p. 342)

After reading the introduction to parables on page 342, make a list of modern situations that would be subjects for a good parable.

Your situation can be an experience from your own life or something you've observed that has the potential to teach an important lesson about life.
Your list should include at least three possibilities and a brief explanation of the situation and what lesson it teaches.



4) King James Bible (Read pages 338-341)

Answer the following questions in your journal. Make sure that your answers are written in complete sentences.

a) Psalms 23 and 137 may or may not be familiar to you. Both of them contain extended metaphors and use parallelism to achieve their effects. I'd like you to list one example of parallelism from each psalm and explain why it is effective.

b) On page 341 of your text, you'll find another translation of Psalm 23. This version of the psalm was translated by the Massachusetts Puritans and published in the Bay Psalm Book (1640). In a brief essay, compare and contrast this version with the version in the King James Bible. Tell which version you prefer and why, using examples from each text. Include in your discussion a comparison of the images, main ideas, sound effects and syntax. Because this is an essay, you should begin with an introductory paragraph that contains your thesis and end with a concluding paragraph. Make sure your essay is well organized and you support all of your contentions with specific examples from the text. You should include references to both translations in your response.



5) The Best Advice Ive Ever Received

Take five minutes and complete the following thoughts in your essay.

"The best advice I ever received . . ."
"The wisest statement I've ever heard was . . ."

You should discuss the advice or statement and also explain why it was so important to you.



6) Worlds of Wisdom (Read pages 349-359)

Answer the following questions. Make sure to follow the directions for each question carefully.

a) Some of the didactic literature you have read may express attitudes toward life that you find surprising, baffling, or in conflict with your own beliefs. Other pieces may strike you as accurately reflecting your beliefs. Choose two pieces of wisdom literature, one that expresses your beliefs and one that expresses a view different from your personal beliefs. Then write a brief essay explaining the similarities and differences between the literature you've chosen and your own belief system. Your essay should be at least four paragraphs long and should include an introductory and a concluding paragraph.

b) The most memorable proverbs stand the test of time because they address general truths. Think of a general truth about modern life and write it in the form of a proverb. If you can't think of a new topic, update a well-known proverb.

c) Didactic literature often uses metaphor and conveys its moral message indirectly. Do you think using metaphor obscures or illuminates the message. Explain your answer using at least two examples from what you've read.



7) Persuasive Writing Techniques (Read pages 427-437)

As you are reading, I'd like you to keep track of the persuasive techniques used by Swift in "A Modest Proposal."

In a blank document or on a separate piece of paper, label three sections as: Logical Appeals, Emotional Appeals and Ethical Appeals.
As you read "A Modest Proposal," note examples of each kind of appeal that you find in the essay. Use the questions in margins of the text to guide your thinking.
You will need these notes to answer questions after you have finished reading.

Part 2: After reading, evaluate the effectiveness of the appeals on a literal level. Write a paragraph for each type of appeal discussing whether or not it would be effective if the essay were taken literally. Look again and evaluate whether or not the argument is effective satirically. Are the appeals effective in the satire? Support your answer with clear reasoning and specific examples from the text.



8) A Modern Proposal

Swift approached the problems of poverty and corruption from the point of view of a benevolent humanitarian and then proposed an outrageous solution to those problems. You are going to be writing your own ironic proposal. Follow the steps listed below and make sure label each part separately.

Part 1: Make a list of modern situations that you think desperately need to be addressed. Pretend you are a social worker, educator, environmentalist, or military advisor. Your list should include at least five problems that you think deserve immediate attention. After you've listed the problems, make a list of outrageous possible solutions.

Part 2: Following the model of "A Modest Proposal," draft your proposal outlining the solutions to the problem. Your proposal should be so outrageous that your readers will immediately see the severity of the problem. Remember that some readers may miss the irony and attack you for being insensitive. To lessen this possibility, make your moral outrage clear by the sheer outrageousness of your exaggerations.

Your essay should be between 300 and 500 words long and should be carefully crafted. You will be graded on the quality and correctness of your writing, as well as on how well you utilize the elements of satire (humor, irony, etc.)



9) Responding to "A Modest Proposal" (Rea pages 438-441)

Answer the following questions in your essay.

a) How is Boyle's satire in "Top of the Food Chain" similar to and different from Swift's proposal. Write a brief essay comparing these essays in terms of the content, purpose and language techniques used in each essay. Your response should be at least three paragraphs long.

b) Is Swift's irony effective in "A Modest Proposal," or does it risk being taken seriously by readers and arousing nothing more than disgust or outrage at the author? Explain your thinking in a brief paragraph of at least five sentences.

c) Vocabulary: Connotations, Diction or word choice is especially important in persuasive writing. Swift is particularly skillful in choosing words with strong connotations-that is, words loaded with strong feelings, associations, or even judgments. Some of Swift's loaded words include:
o Savages
o Male and female
o Popish infants
o Beggars
o Rags
o Breeders
o Filth
o Idolatrous
o Carcasses

In each instance where the above words appear, another word or term could have been chosen to create a different, less harsh effect. For example, man and woman are gentler terms for male and female. By using the terms male and female, Swift is equating people with animals. Answer the following questions for six of the nine words listed above:"

Find the places in the text where the words listed above are used. What is the emotional effect of the each word choice?
What tamer or more positive words could have been used to create a different effect?



10) Mock Versus Real Epic (Read pages 451-459)

"The Rape of the Lock" literally means "the violent theft of a lock of hair" and is based on a real incident. This mock epic examines the relationships between men and women in high society of the eighteenth century. A mock epic is a comic narrative poem, written in dignified language, which parodies the serious epic genre by treating a trivial subject in a lofty, grand manner.

As you're reading I'd like you to create and complete a chart similar to the one below, which directly compares mock and heroic epic poems.
If a counterpart to a convention of heroic epics is not immediately apparent in the mock epic, you can leave it blank.



11) Alexander Pope (Read pages 445-449)

Respond to the following questions in your essay. Be sure to follow the directions for each question carefully.

1. List five examples of antithesis found in Alexander Pope's "Heroic Couplets." Identify the parallelism in each example.
2. In almost every sentence in our excerpt from "An Essay on Man," Pope says something flattering about the human race, only to follow it with something critical. What characteristics does he think we should be proud of? What does he think we should be ashamed of?
3. Do you disagree with any of Pope's opinions or pronouncements in the Heroic Couplets or "An Essay on Man"?
4. Based on what you have read of "The Rape of the Lock," what do you think the poem's theme or central message is? What or who are the objects of his satire?
5. Does the epic, "The Rape of the Lock" apply in any way to society today? Identify two passages that could serve as satiric commentaries on people's behavior today. Your answer should discuss both the passage and the comment that applies to contemporary life.




12) Analyzing Humor (Read pages 462-470)

Satire relies on many techniques usually associated with comedy, including exaggeration, understatement, warped logic, improbable situations, and ridiculous names.

In your journal, make a chart like the following where you list each of the five techniques and as many examples you can find for each technique.
I'd like you to list at least four examples for each technique (exaggeration, understatement, warped logic, improbable situations, and ridiculous names).

Part 2: Looking back at the chart you made for Part 1, use the details you gathered on that chart to write a brief analysis of Voltaire's humor. When you analyze something, you take it apart and examine its elements to see how it works. The chart will show you many techniques used by Voltaire to ridicule his character and to make us laugh. At the end of your essay, describe the targets of Voltaire's satire.



13) Comparing Satires (Read pages 473-479)

Answer each of these questions in your essay. Make sure to follow the directions for each question.

1. Voltaire wrote Candide more that 230 years ago. In your opinion, how well has his satire held up? What value, if any, does Candide hold for someone growing up into today's world? Does Voltaire's underlying message against intolerance, cruelty, and smugness still apply? Write a brief paragraph addressing these questions.
Support your answer with specific examples from the text.
2. In his parody, Cervantes uses the techniques of exaggeration, verbal irony, incongruity, and humorous imitation. List one example of each technique used in this selection.
3. A foil is a character that is used as a contrast to another character. In what ways is Sancho Panza a foil to Don Quixote? Identify three behaviors of each of the two men that suggest they are opposites.
4. How do Don Quixote's optimism and idealism compare with Candide's? Do both of these characters "tilt at windmills," or do they manifest their philosophies in profoundly different ways? After you have addressed whether or not the main characters are similar or different, I'd like you to address the purpose of each satire, as well as the techniques each author uses to achieve his purpose. Your response should be three paragraphs long.



14) Your Views on Womens Rights

Are men and women truly equal? Do they, or should they, have equal rights in society? Why or why not? What institutions in modern society help to promote equality or keep it from being achieved? What do you think of feminism? Do you prefer the terms human rights or women's rights?

Spend 10 minutes writing in your journal about your own views on women's rights and roles. Include in your discussion what term you think is most effective in discussing women's quest for equality.





15) Patterns of Organizations (Read pages 484-491)

Part 1: Page 485 gives you a general idea of the most common pattern followed by authors who write persuasive essays. The pattern is:
State a position.
Clarify the position.
Offer supporting arguments or evidence.
Restate the position and make recommendations or judgments based upon it.
As you are reading "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," I'd like you to answer the questions posed in the margins on a separate piece of paper or in a blank document. Your answers will help you complete Part 2.

Part 2: After reading, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" I'd like you to outline the main points of the essay and show the details that the writer uses to support them. Your answers to the questions posed in the text will guide you in making your outline. Your outline should be written in outline form (see sample) and should include the main points covered by the author.

16) Responding to Literature (Read pages 322-326, 329-334)

1. "Of Studies" was written almost four hundred years ago. Do you think Bacon's views are still relevant today? Are any of his points outdated? Do you disagree with anything Bacon says? Write a paragraph answering these questions.
2. In the Tilbury Speech, Queen Elizabeth says that she has the body of "a weak and feeble woman" but "the heart and stomach of a king." What inference can you draw about implicit and explicit ideas and assumptions concerning women and men? (An implicit idea is one that is not stated directl and must be inferred from the details. An explicit idea is stated directly). Why do you think she finds it necessary to mention her gender?
3. Review the excerpts from Margaret Cavendish's Female Orations (332). Characterize the speaker in each section. What arguments does each speaker present? What assumptions about women may have been valid in the seventeenth century but are no longer valid today?
4. Each of these writings makes strong claims about the rights of women. Discuss the effectiveness of each text, not only for what it says, but for how it gets its message across. What rhetorical devices do these writers use? Which writer, in your opinion, creates the most powerful and memorable argument. Your response should be at least three paragraphs long and should list at least four examples of rhetorical devices for each text discussed.

Chen, C. & Huang, J. (2009). Strategic human resource practices and innovation performance ? The mediating role of knowledge management capacity. Journal of Business Research 62(1): 104-14.
These researchers used performance measures from a sample of nearly 150 different companies and regression analysis to determine the relationship between human resources management, innovation, and organizational success. Building strategy from a human resources perspective was shown to increase the amount of knowledge capacity in the organization and the efficiency of knowledge transfer and knowledge management, and this led to increased innovation and performance. The authors conclude that knowledge acts as an important bridge between human resources and innovation as well as firm success, and they suggest ways for managers to use this knowledge and provide an outline for further research to be conducted. This source is very valuable in terms of suggesting why organizational control is important, but though it provides some practical advice for how to achieve effective control this is not entirely relevant to the research at hand. Still, it does provide some insight into how to bring about firm success through organizational control.

Luse, D. (2009). An Examination of College Students? Awareness of Social Web Site Usage and Employability. Journal of Academic Administration in Higher Education 5(1): 21-26.
This study did not directly address workplace issues, but rather examined a human resource issue that is being faced by organizations and new employees alike. Many college students, according to the findings of this study, do not appreciate the fact that their use of social media websites such as MySpace and Facebook can reflect on their personalities and on their employers, and that this use can thus limit their future employment capabilities. It is now standard for employers to look for ?digital dirt? on prospective employees using a variety of means that are all legal and readily available to the public, and compromising information or images can be very influential in their decisions. High rates of usage of these social media sites combined with a lack of awareness about their influence on hiring decisions and other employment capabilities means individual workers are left with much harder prospects and organizations are faced with more difficulty finding suitable talent for their business image. This source provides very interesting insights into the many types of issues that must be taken into consideration when examining human resources issues, and though not initially seen as directly applicable, further examination shows that this source provides some useful background and commentary on the research area.

Mitsuhashi, H. & Greve, H. (2009). A Matching Theory of Alliance Formation and Organizational Success: Complementarity and Compatibility. The Academy of Management Journal 52(5): 975-95.
Examining the way in which different organizations can form alliances that work to their mutual benefit, these authors found that certain elements of organizational structure and the manner in which they facilitate interpersonal relationships have a major impact on the way relationships can be formed between organizations. Networked organizations rather than concentrated and isolated firms were better at forming inter-organizational relationships, and this led to more effective market strategies for both firms involved. Networked organizations also supported more active communication and smaller-scale networking within organizations, which meant the building of more interpersonal relationships that were more frequently enforced, perhaps having a direct effect on the ability to form inter-organizational relationships. This resource shows how deeply and intensely issues of human resource management and control an affect an organization in very far-reaching manners that affect and are affected by culture, structure, strategy, and more.

Becker, M. (2008). Handbook of Organizational Routines. Northampton, MA: Edward Elgar.
This book contains an abundance of material concerning many different aspects and operations typical of many organizations as well as a discussion and description of many theoretical frameworks and various explanations of organizational behavior and control. By organizing the book according to categories of ?routines,? Becker covers many of the points necessary in the running and maintenance of a typical business organization from both abstract/theoretical and a more concrete and practical perspective. The basic premise of the book is that organizations are controlled through an understanding of the different activities they perform and the way these activities are performed and the way they interact, and through this practical means of effecting organizational control and change can be developed. This resource is directly relevant to the research area, and provides comprehensive information on the topic.

This assignment is for a Life Coaching Class. I am a female and I plan to open a Counseling and Life Coaching Practice. The review is of the movie "Coach Carter"
The movie review requires you to interact with the content of the movie in a way that allows for an understanding of the impact that movies can have on the coaching process. Please use the following format in completing the movie review. (Three Sections).

(The Review)-give your impression of the movie with only the briefest description of the plot summary. Resist the urge to retail the whole plot of the movie, instead sharing the scenes that had the greatest impact on your thinking or the most potential for use within the coaching relationship. What aspects of the movie should the viewer look for if they haven't seen the movie and what aspects/scenes do you feel warrant further reflection and why?

(Therapeutic Implications)-Having noted the scenes that have value for use in your Life coaching practice, what is the specific value that you see for use in the coaching process? For example, if you observe emotional outbursts, angry tirades, attempts at connection, empathetic listening, etc. point out the scene and the way in which it could be used to enhance your client's understanding of the skill/technique you are attempting to teach. Are you using this scene to make an emotional, cognitive, or spiritual connection? What is your rationale for choosing this scene?

Chapter Outline and Lecture Notes
______________________________________________________________________________

Knowing about business ethics and social responsibility should help the student achieve good performance in these two important aspects of business life.

I. BUSINESS ETHICS
Ethics is the study of moral obligation, or separating right from wrong. Also, ethics can be regarded as the vehicle that converts values into action. Unethical acts can be legal or illegal. Customers and suppliers prefer to deal with ethical companies. Moral intensity is the magnitude of an unethical act. People are often unethical about small matters, such a making a photocopy for personal use.

A. Philosophical Principles Underlying Business Ethics
When attempting to decide what is right and wrong, managerial workers can focus on (1) consequences, (2) duties, obligations, and principles, or (3) integrity.
1. Focus on Consequences and Pragmatism. According to utilitarianism, if nobody
gets hurt, the decision is ethical. Closely related is pragmatism, the belief that there
are no absolute principles or standards, no objective truth, and no objective reality.
"Truth" is whatever works, or helps you attain the goals you want.
2. Focus on the Rights of Individuals (Deontology). According to deontological theory, people must examine their duties when making a decision. The deontological approach is based on universal principles such as honesty, fairness, justice, and respect for persons and property. Rights, such as the rights to privacy and safety, are also important.
3. Focus on Integrity (Virtue Ethics). If the person in question has good character, and genuine motivation and intentions, he or she is behaving ethically. The decision maker's environment helps define integrity. The virtue ethics of managers and professionals who belong to professional societies can be readily judged. All three philosophical approaches might be necessary when facing a complex ethical decision.

B. Values and Ethics
Values are clear statements of what is critically important. Ethics become the vehicle for converting values into action, or doing the right thing. A firm's moral standards and values help guide ethics in decision making. A person's values also influence which kind of behaviors he or she believes are ethical. Ethically centered management emphasizes that the high quality of an end product takes precedence over its scheduled completion. A product or service would therefore not be delivered until its bugs were eliminated. The concept of ethically-centered management is helpful in understanding what when wrong in the many serious accidents involving the Ford Explorer equipped with two different models of Firestone Tires. (Good material for class discussion.)

C. Contributing Factors to Ethical Problems
The results presented in Exhibit 3-2 illustrate that ethical problems remain a major concern in the workplace, such as 21% of employees having witnessed abusive or intimidating behavior toward employees. Major contributors to unethical behavior are an individual's greed and gluttony, or the desire to maximize self-gain at the expense of others. Sometimes an organizational atmosphere condones unethical behavior. In contrast, a management climate strongly opposed to theft leads to stronger anti-theft attitudes by employees.

A third cause of unethical behavior is moral laxity, a slippage in moral behavior because other issues seem more important at the time. Although corporate training programs in ethics gain in frequency, illegal and unethical behavior on the job continues to be a major problem. Self-interest continues to be a factor that influences ethics. The strength of relationships among people is a major factor in how ethically they behave toward each other. Another contributor to unethical behavior is unconscious biases that lead us to behave in unjust ways toward others, such as believing that members of a particular ethnic group have below-average intelligence Perhaps the most pervasive reason for unethical behavior is rationalization, or making up a good excuse for poor ethics.

D. Ethical Temptations and Violations
A list of commonly found ethical temptations and violations, including criminal acts, follows:
1. Stealing from employers and customers.
2. Illegally copying software.
3. Treating people unfairly (discrimination and prejudice).
4. Sexual harassment.
5. Conflict of interest. A conflict of interest occurs when judgment or objectivity is compromised.
6. Accepting kickbacks and bribes for doing business with another company.
7. Divulging confidential information (not violating trust).
8. Misuse of corporate resources.
9. Corporate espionage.
10. Poor cyberethics.

E. Business Scandals as Ethical Violations
The best-known scandals are associated with infamous executives, yet scandals are also
perpetuated by hundreds of players including Internet fraud such as work-at-home scams. Examples of well-publicized scandals include click fraud, Enron Corporation, Tyco International, and the spying on board members and others at Hewlett-Packard, and backdating of stock options at Silicon Valley companies. Click fraud occurs when people click on Internet advertising solely to generate illegitimate revenue for the Web site carrying those ads.

F. A Guide to Ethical Decision Making
Ethical decision making can be improved by running the contemplated decision through
an ethics test, such as that used at the Center for Business Ethics:
1. Is it right?
2. Is it fair?
3. Who gets hurt?
4. Would you be comfortable if your decision were exposed publicly?
5. Would you tell your child (or young relative) to do it?
6. How does it smell?

Another type of decision that often requires an ethical test is choosing between two rights (rather than right versus wrong). An example would be laying off a poorly-performing worker who is blind. Students might be challenged to find good examples of choosing between two rights.

II. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Many people argue that organizations have an obligation to respond to the needs of groups in society other than owners and stockholders. Corporate social responsibility is the idea that firms have an obligation to society beyond their economic obligations to owners or stockholder and beyond those prescribed by law or contract. Many socially responsible actions are the by-products of sensible business decisions. For instance, it is both socially responsible and profitable for a company to improve the language and math skills of entry-level workers, and invest in local schooling. A practical problem in practicing corporate social responsibility is that not all interested parties agree on what constitutes responsible behavior.

A. Stockholder versus Stakeholder Viewpoints
The traditional perspective is the stockholder viewpoint-that business organizations are responsible only to their owners and stockholders. The stakeholder viewpoint of social responsibility contends that organizations must hold themselves responsible for the quality of life of the many groups affected by the organization's actions. According to an iron law, in the long run those parties who do not use power in a manner that society considers acceptable will lose that power. Stakeholders differ in their power, legitimacy, and urgency (such as stakeholders chaining themselves to a factory fence).

B. Corporate Social Performance
Corporate social performance is the extent to which a firm responds to the demands of its stakeholders for behaving in a socially responsible manner. One way to measure social performance is to analyze the company's annual report in search of relevant statistical information. Another consequence of social performance is that a group of mutual funds purchase stocks of only of companies the fund manager believes to have good social performance. Industries excluded from the list of acceptable stocks are alcohol, tobacco, weapons, gambling, and nuclear power. Another approach to measuring corporate social performance is to observe how a company responds to social issues by examining programs in more detail.

C. Social Responsibility Initiatives
Some organizations are being socially responsible by creating more opportunities for diverse groups, as described in Chapter 2. Here we describe other social responsibility initiatives.
1. Environmental Protection. Many companies take the initiative to preserve the
natural environment in a way that pleases environmental groups. For example, the computer industry is making a giant initiative to slow down energy consumption when using computers.
2. Work-Life Programs A major social responsibility initiative is for organizations to establish programs that facilitate employees balancing the demands of work and personal life. The intent is to help employees lead a more balanced life, and be more satisfied and productive on the job.
3. Community-Redevelopment Projects Some business firms invest resources in
helping rebuild distressed communities. Investment can also mean offering job training for residents of the distressed community.
4. Acceptance of Whistle Blowers A whistle blower is an employee who discloses organizational wrongdoing to parties who can take action. More than half the time, whistle blowers are ignored.
5. Compassionate Downsizing. Downsizing is the slimming down of operations to
focus resources and boost profits or decrease expenses. An example of the ill effects of downsizing has been the substantial collateral damage from the cutbacks in the Michigan area automotive industry. Even charitable organizations suffer. Compassion includes pondering whether to downsize at all, and re-deploying workers. Providing financial and emotional support to the downsized worker is also important.

III. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Despite potential costs from being ethical and socially responsible, socially responsible behavior appears to be cost-effective. Edwin A. Locke argues that virtuous behavior can be successfully applied by a business, citing the example of the banking company, BB&T. Research shows that more profitable firms can better afford to invest in social responsibility initiatives, and these initiatives in turn lead to more profits (the virtuous cycle). Being ethical also helps avoid the costs of paying huge fines for being unethical. Socially responsible acts can often attract and retain socially responsible employees.

A. Creating an Ethical and Socially Responsible Workplace
Managers can develop strategies and programs to enhance ethical and socially responsible attitudes.

1. Formal Mechanisms for Monitoring Ethic. The majority of companies with 500 or more employees have ethics programs of various types. Large organizations
frequently set up ethics committees to help ensure ethical and socially responsible behavior. The Lockheed Martin Corporation's ethics and compliance program has received much favorable publicity. It includes multiple channels for raising questions and voicing concerns, such as an ethics hotline.
2. Written Organizational Codes of Conduct. About 75 percent of large organizations use written codes of conduct to serve as guidelines for ethical and socially responsible behavior. Some aspects of these codes are general, such as requiring people to conduct themselves with integrity and candor. Other aspects are specific, such as rules on accepting gifts from vendors.
3. Widespread Communication about Ethics and Social Responsibility
Extensive communication about the topic reinforces ethical and socially responsible behavior. Discussing ethics and social responsibility in small groups is helpful.
4. Leadership by Example and Ethical Role Models. A high-powered approach to enhancing ethics and social responsibility is for members of top management to behave in such a manner themselves. Leading by example is particularly useful in encouraging ethical behavior because it provides useful role models. Employees are influenced by the people they work with every day. In contrast, top executives are distant figures who the worker rarely observes directly.
5. Encourage Confrontation about Ethical Deviations Unethical behavior may be minimized if every employee confronts anybody seen behaving unethically.
6. Training Programs in Ethics and Social Responsibility Forms of training include
messages about ethics from executives, classes on ethics at colleges, and exercises in ethics. For ethics training to work, top management must take it seriously.

1)Describe socially responsible initiatives organizations can take.

2)Describe how managers can create an environment that encourages ethical and socially responsible behavior.
