Hypothetical Case Study
Taking School Seriously

As a social worker, it is never easy to remove a child from their home. This is especially true when the child is going to be placed into a group home setting. In a group home, children are left to operate as a unit, but for the most part are on their own. hile there is always an adult on call to supervise, that adult is simply that, a supervisor. Any parental role such as education advocate or assistant with homework are easily forgotten and not followed (Aldgate, 1993). This becomes a problem when the children begin thinking that school is less important than day-to-day life and for some reason stop learning. This problem becomes even more serious as these children approach adulthood where they are unable to transition from their financially supported world into the real working world (Reilly, 2003). It is a solution to….

Hypothetical Case Study Dieting
This report provides insight into a hypothetical case study regarding dieting. The case involves a patient from this point forward called; X. She tends to consider herself as an individual that has been a life long 'on again' then 'off again' dieter. She informs a counselor that she has shown minor success with dieting where she may have lost a few pounds however; she feels that dieting has lead to more failures than successes. "On occasion she has lost between two and three stone -- only to regain it again within a matter of months." It is not clear as of yet what her true cognitive motivation is. From the brief description there are more than a few possibilities such as there may be an undiagnosed mental disorder such as ADHD or OCD, she may be driven by an internal desire for perfection through weight control or….

This is significant, because it shows how such a policy, could help to refocus the industry and improve the amount of information that consumers have available to them. (McDonald's Second Quarter Rises 2010)
Clearly, the proposal to increase fast food restaurant disclosure on calorie and other health information to consumers; can help to prevent the sharp increases in the obesity rate. This is because such polices have shown to: cause restaurant to offer larger choices of healthy foods and they allow consumers to see what they are eating. Once this occurs, it could mean that obesity rates will begin to slow and possibly reverse, because of the increased amounts of information available.

This methodology enables researchers to determine if a cell or a gene is vital for some developmental biological process since it requires them extracting whatever cell or gene might be in question, and then seeing if the process is still able to take place. For instance, a group of researchers was able to find that the tiny mitochondrial genome that exists in plants is essential for the replication of cells by removing the genome and seeing the lack of adequate functioning that was enabled with the mitochondrial genome present (Binder, Brinnicke, 2003, p. 181).
Lastly, the most reliable way of testing hypotheses in developmental biology is known as gain of functional evidence. This method involves seeing if a particular cell or gene is needed for a particular developmental biology process by adding it to an environment and seeing if that addition allows for such a process to take place. An….

Hypothetical Case Involving the 4th Amendment
Criminal Justice

I am not sure how I would rule in this case. I would need to know more about the case such as if there was other evidence besides what was obtained with the heat sensor. I am not also familiar with the rules regarding police officers and the technology they can use on public property. Don't police officers position themselves on public property and aim speed guns at traffic in order to make arrests on public streets or highways? If it is permissible for that kind of evidence to lead to a ticket or arrest, why should the heat sensor evidence be thrown out? This is why I would need to know more about the case. Have the police been monitoring this person's activities before the heat sensor was used? Did the person participate in activities that gave the police a valid reason to….

Hypothetical Scenario
Did Lennie cause the first officer's death? Distinguish between proximate cause and cause in fact. Are there any intervening causes? If so, are they superseding? Explain in detail every argument that could help Lennie and every argument that the prosecution is likely to use against him using only the concepts you learned in class.

"Cause in fact requires that the defendant's negligent conduct was the actual cause of the plaintiff's injuries ... Proximate cause refers to the 'foreseeability' of the injuries. That is, the plaintiff's injuries must be a foreseeable result of the defendant's conduct" (Clarke 2015). Although it could be argued that Lennie acted in a negligent manner regarding his conduct with the girl -- allowing her to play a dart game while drunk -- Lennie's defense attorney would argue there is no way he could have anticipated that she would react in such an extreme manner. The girl….

hypothetical situation with a toothpaste company where the job at hand is to encourage the advertising and production groups to promote and manufacture the toothpaste more effectively. The rub is that none of the people involved are direct reports to the person answering this hypothetical question and the sources of power that do exist despite this are to be defined and clarified.

hypothetical project of Amazon.com from the capital budgeting perspective. The first step is to estimate the capital structure of Amazon using both the book value and market value methods, and then use this information to calculate the weighted-average cost of capital. A number of different methods are used to calculate the cost of equity. .Once the WACC has been established, a discounted cash flow analysis can be done to evaluate the project, based on the cash flows given in the case. In this situation, the analysis reveals that the project would be undertaken.
Estimate Capital Structure

The capital structure of a firm refers to "the percentage of capital at work in a business type" (Kennon, 2013). Every firm has to raise capital from somewhere in order to finance its business. The main forms are debt and equity, but sometimes hybrid forms like preferred shares are also used. In general the capital….

In fact, Taylor did not only address abnormal psychology on an individual scale, but also discussed how it informs cultural ideals and norms. Taylor spoke about terrorism and how a culture of terrorism impacts the people in the culture. In many ways, what he described about those who join terrorist organizations mirrors what I already know about people in bad neighborhoods who join gangs. They are not necessarily bad people, but people whose choices are so limited and whose fear is so great that a violent choice seems to become the most rational choice available. Taylor did not seem to suggest that this type of abnormal psychology running throughout an entire culture can be fixed by an outsider approaching the culture. However, he did seem to think that how the United States responds to those innocent people who live in the countries where terrorism thrives can help shape cultural attitudes….

While elements of matrix structure will be used in the newly organised company, it will also use some elements of the divisional structure as well. In a divisional structure:
there is a centralized corporate office and under it, are various divisions each of which is dedicated to producing and/or selling a certain type of business or product, e.g., product 1, product 2, etc.. Each division that is dedicated to a certain business or product is, in turn, is organized as its own functional structure. So, for example, the division dedicated to making product 1 has its own sales department, human resources, etc. Basically, the divisional structure is a bunch of functional structures each of which reports to one central office (http://www.mapnp.org).

We can see in the company's reliance on some regional responsibilities an incorporation of some traditional divisional structural ideas (http://web.mit.edu).

In the matrix structure that Megabyte Global is contemplating, the new….

Hypothetical Counseling Plan
Substance Use Disorder Counseling

Maria is married and has an addiction to alcohol that is damaging their family's chances at reuniting with their daughters, as well as many marital problems in general. It seems as if she does not work, nor does she adhere to many of the household tasks. Her relationship with her husband seems on the brink of failure and without making some changes in her life she will likely continue to fall deeper into problematic situations. Changing her attitudes, belief, and values could be a difficult proposition and will mostly likely time a significant amount of time in counseling to make progress. It seems reasonable to suspect that Maria's basic human needs are not being met and her addiction is damaging her quality of life. It is recommended that counseling should initially focus on understand Maria's situation as well as treating the substance abuse issues that….


To ensure that all employees have some experience dealing with common types of customer calls and complaints, a simulation session of these calls might be included along with the formal, instructional procedures of how calls should be handled, followed with information about employee benefits. This would prepare employees for dealing with some of the stressful scenarios at the call center and also allow for some 'quality assurance.' The company could feel more confident that a new, confused employee had a kind of emotional fall-back script to rely upon when a customer grows difficult, and had some experience dealing with common types of calls and complaints. Finally, an 'action oriented' training simulation scenario of calls would make the informational sessions more engaging, and increase employee attention and information retention.

Bio-Terrorism
Hypothetical scenario

Patients who were admitted in medical facilities complained of muscle paralysis. This was suspected to be the reason behind the blockage of the release of the acetylcholine. The patients also suffered from diplopia, blurred vision, dysphasia, and had dry mouths. Symmetrical descending muscle weakness was also registered in a number of patients who were admitted in different hospital facilities.

This eventually led to loss of diaphragmatic functions and respiratory failure. General body paralysis ensued. The patients were nevertheless sensational and had intact mental status. Symmetric descending flaccid paralysis, lack of fever, and clear sensorium made the physician believe that the patients were in deed suffering from botulism attack. The outbreak of botulism was traced back to a city suburb. The outbreak exposed over a 100, 000 people to Clostridium botulinum for an estimated 2 hours.

A half of this population was diagnosed with the infectious dose of botulism. Such a….

The fact that the Florida market (and, in fact, the overall market, since market designers can be hired over the Internet and this is, in fact, the type of activity that can pertain to online collaboration) has a reasonable number of marketing designers makes their power sensibly negligible in the equation.
The web hosting companies will be in charge with hosting the company's online website and, similar to the market designers, have a negligible power, since there is a sufficient number of web hosting companies to guarantee a certain level of competition between them that can eliminate pressure in the form of high prices or low quality services.

On the other hand, the staff that the company is going to have, in the form of individual providers (workforce can be identified as such), can exercise a certain amount of pressure. The first reason for this is that training and integrating an….
