Here is the PAPER #1 prompt:

In The Apu Trilogy, the main character Apu has an incredible enthusiasm for curiosity. In the spirit of Apu I invite you to select something from the films or from the supporting readings that sparked your curiosity and that you would like to know more about..

Perhaps it is one of the creators of the films (maybe Ray himself!); one of the actors; the music; a place; a culture – a person, place or thing from one of the films that you want to know more about…

Once you have selected that something which sparked your curiosity, please write a paper sharing your discovery. Write about: 1) the history of it/her/him/etc. ; 2) what struck you, surprised you and moved you about it/her/him/etc.; 3) plus most importantly why did you choose it/her/him/etc. and how do you now personally connect to it/her/him/etc….

Be inspired by Apu’s deep desire and thirst to know more about the world…

And as always, be deeply personal…

Ethical And Cultural Considerations In Groups

January 28, 2020 5 Comments Psychology

Ethical considerations are important to planning the structure of any group and will be a key component of the group proposal that will come together in our course assignments. The ethical issues that guide group formation and structure apply broadly to all groups in general, but may have more specific application depending upon the topic and population for the group. Use the example below to explore how ethical and cultural issues can be considered in the planning stages of a group.

Imagine you are a supervisor in a county mental health clinic serving a culturally diverse community. A supervisee proposes an outpatient group for children of parents going through divorce.

  • What cultural issues would be critical for the supervisee to consider when recruiting, screening, and planning interventions for the group?
  • What specific ethical standards take on heightened importance for this group?
  • What may happen to the group if your supervisee fails to take the issues you identified into consideration?

1. Your analysis of injuries at the CSU Widget Factory has revealed that 98 employees were required to take time off last year due to issues related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), mostly back and shoulder injuries. Discuss a variety of strategies that can be used to identify operations or processes with the potential to create or aggravate MSDs. Keep in mind that employees do not always recognize MSD symptoms as work-related, and may also be reluctant to report symptoms. There is no need to propose solutionswe are just trying to identify the sources of the problems.

2. Based on your recent analysis of injuries related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at the CSU Widget Factory, your boss wants to try to reduce the amount of manual material handling, especially in the warehouse. Using the hierarchy of controls, propose at least five control measures that would help reduce the amount of manual lifting and/or reduce the likelihood of injuries caused by manual lifting. Explain clearly how each of these proposed controls would reduce the risk of injury, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and what new hazards, if any, might be created if the control is implemented.
