1. Individual and sociological explanations for select family issues

 

 

 

The was an article that ran on Monday, July 30th in the New York Times regarding the father in New York who unfortunately forgot his children in the car while he went to work. The article was not specifically about the story and all its details, it was about the wife’s response to the tragedy. She plead for her husbands to be spared for the awful event. Marissa A. Rodriguez stated, “I need him by my side to go through this together.” (Fitzsimmons and Hard 2019) The two have other children to raise and I think I understand her perspective.

 

The article was written individual explanations intended because it was providing information of how the mother felt. The author did relate some statistical data from the New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services on children and locked cars. I feel that there may be an underlying issue in the article if you look further, as a mother would you be able to forgive your husband for such a tragedy. Should he be charged with a crime even though, it implied that it was unintentional? I feel that this will be a tough situation for this family to get through, but the media will not make things any better.

 

 

 

2. Briefly describe a news story regarding a current family issue (provide link).  Do they use individual explanations or sociological/historical explanations to explain the issue?

 

In an article by CNN reporter Brenna Williams, a brief accumulation of historical information on interracial marriage, the Racial Integrity Act, 14th Amendment, and Mildred and Richard Loving is provided. To start, the author writes of Mildred and Richard Loving’s Supreme Court case—which ruled that miscegenation laws are unconstitutional. In fact, the justices went as far as ruling that the purpose of such laws were rooted in racism. It is also noted that it wasn’t until the year 2000, that the final state, Alabama, banned its miscegenation laws. The author also wrote that as a result Mr. and Mrs. Loving’s marriage, they were to be sentenced to either a year in prison or face a 25-year banishment from Virginia. Brenna also noted that that the Racial Integrity Act defined anyone who wasn’t entirely white as “colored”, and was put in place to prevent any form of “interracial mixing”. Overall, the article touches on several historical explanations in discussing interracial marriage.

 

As we learned in our reading, acceptance of interracial marriage is increasing in the United States—but still represents only a small portion of total marriages (Desmond and Emirbayer, 2010, p. 462). The stress and obstacles interracial couples face continue today, and understanding the historical context is crucial in helping ensure they are no longer discriminated against.

 

 

Reply to these two discussion question due Saturday 8-3-19 thank you

Write a paper describing the pathophysiology of hypertension. Discuss the following in your paper:

 

• As      nurse educators how is patient education adapted for various developmental      stages and ages. This paper focus on adults  and older adults 
• Considering      your Healthy People 2020 health determinant, the Evidence-based guidelines      you reviewed and your original assessment, what issue do you feel is most      important for health education for your population?

 

 The Heart Disease and Stroke objective twelve (HDS12) is to increase the proportion of adults with hypertension whose blood pressure is under control. Its purpose is to improve public health and prevent premature deaths. The 2020 goal is the proposed, and the HP2020 target is 61.2 percent (healthypeople.gov). For this initiative Adults are defined as having high blood pressure/hypertension if they either: (a) have a measurement of mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mm Hg or (b) mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mm Hg or (c) report they are taking high blood pressure medicine (healthypeople.gov).

 

• Using a selected developmental theory, identify the developmental stage or phase of your population.
• What type of theoretical approach would you use with your population?  
• What types of media, tools, etc. would you use in this population? Explain.
• Support  your ideas and suppositions with current evidence-based literature from  peer reviewed journals not older than 3-5 years (please do not use websites).

Create 5 annotations for 5 different sources.  You must use at least 3  different formats (books, articles, newspapers, websites, interviews, etc.)

 

 

 

STEPS:

 

 

 

– Write a Thesis.

 

– Research your topic.

 

– Create your citations.

 

– Write your annotations. 

 

 

 

·    Use either MLA, (Modern Language Association, APA (American Psychological Association) for your citations. 

 

 

 

·    Follow each citation with a paragraph or two of concise description, summary, and evaluation of each source.

The Process to Follow While Writing your Annotated Bibliography

 

 

 

Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. 

 

– What are the main arguments? 

 

– What is the point of this book or article? 

 

– What topics are covered? 

 

– If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? 

 

The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is. (PARAPHRASING)

 

 

 

Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it.

 

– Is it a useful source? 

 

How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? 

 

– Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? 

 

– What is the goal of this source? (EVALUATING RESOURCES)

 

 

 

Reflect: Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. 

 

– Was this source helpful to you? 

 

– How does it help you shape your argument? 

 

– How can you use this source in your research project? 

 

– Has it changed how you think about your topic?

 

 

 

Your annotated bibliography may include some of these, all of these, or even others. If you’re doing this for a class, you should get specific guidelines from your instructor (Purdue).

Assignment Content

 

1. This week you will continue your work on the project to evaluate higher education student aid data. You will evaluate your data warehouse data to ensure it can provide consistent, accurate query data, and provide an update to the project sponsors.

   Define and execute a process to evaluate your data warehouse data for incompleteness, nulls, and the ability to provide consistent query data.

   • Summary of findings
   • Document your summary as either:
   • A 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes
   • A 2- to 3-page Microsoft® Word document

Peer Feedback:

 

1. Respond to the introduction. We have discussed and applied many possibilities for beginning a piece of writing – evaluate the effectiveness of the one the author has chosen.
2. Underline the topic sentence in each paragraph. Are the paragraphs connected and do they evolve the author’s argument?
3. Evaluate the integration of textual evidence. Is each source fully introduced and analyzed? Are the sources cited correctly in the text?
4. Respond to the organization of the essay (either in the text or at the end, depending on which will be most helpful to the writer).
5. Does the author have a clearly stated position in relation to the social issue being conveyed? (ie. Does the essay do more than provide an overview of the situation?)
6. Locate and respond to the alternative perspective included. Is it fully explained and evaluated in relation to the primary perspective and position being conveyed?
7. Respond to the conclusion. Does the essay end in a way that is satisfying? For example, does it respond to the content in the essay or offer a plan for action?
8. Check the works cited page for correctness.
9. Comment on the clarity of the sentences. Locate two sentences that could be made more clear and give specific suggestions.
10. Respond to the concern the writer expressed (#1 above)
