-Come up with a suitably catchy headline, identifying your interview subject

In this assignment, you’ll submit a 3-4 page paper in which you present a case study of a fictional character.You may choose any fictional character from a book, movie, TV show, or another source. Make sure your character exhibits symptoms of a psychological disorder, as that will be the focus of this paper. (See attachments for OpenStax sources.)
As you write your paper, please refer to these steps:
1) Introduce your character with some identifying information (name, age, and so on). Make sure to include the origin of your character (what book, movie, or TV show is s/he from?).
2) Provide a brief history of your character’s case. What do you know about his or her childhood? When did s/he first develop symptoms of mental illness? What might have contributed to this onset (nature, nurture, or both)?
3) Provide a diagnosis and description of symptoms. Which psychological disorder(s) do you feel best fits your character’s symptoms? Include several examples of situations in which he or she exhibited signs of this disorder, being specific about which symptoms were present in these cases. Please include at least three detailed examples; this should be the longest section of your paper.
4) Include treatment recommendations. Given your character’s symptoms, would you recommend therapy (which type?), medication (which class?), or some other intervention? Explain your reasoning. You might have to consult OpenStax Chapter 16 for this.
5) Briefly conclude your paper. You can tie your conclusion into the above section on treatment, or you can add a short concluding paragraph afterward.
Internet Resource Project
Using the internet, conduct a web search and provide the following information. You may need to visit more than one website to obtain all the information.
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE INFORMATION. You must explain in your own words what each organization does as well as answer the questions in ‘your own words’.
1. List three (3) organizations with offices in Onondaga County (or your home County)
that provide supports for persons with a disability. Make sure they are agencies or organizations,
not programs.
Choose three (3) different disability areas. For example, Mental Health, Developmental
Disabilities, Mobility, Intellectual Disabilities, Visual or Auditory etc.
2. For each organization, identify the target population. (e.g.) Who do they provide
services for? (hint: There may be more than one. “All disabilities” is not an
acceptable response.)
3. What are the types of services provided?
4. List at least three programs or services they provide and explain how the services help the
consumer/participant/client.
(Using general terms such as “service coordination” or “advocacy and referral” are
not specific tasks and are not acceptable responses.)
5. Identify whether those organizations are Non-Profit, Private or Government and how
they are funded.
6. List three (3) organizations that provide supports for children and/or families without a
disability. (The agency provides no direct services for disabling conditions.)
7. For each organization, identify the target population. (e.g.) Who do they provide
services for? (hint: There may be more than one.)
8. What are the types of services provided?
9. List at least three services/programs they provide and explain how the services help the

(Using general terms such as “service coordination” or “advocacy and referral” are
not specific tasks and are not acceptable responses.)

The Social Network is a biographical drama adapted from the 2009 Ben Mezrich book, The Accidental Billionaire. The movie portrays the founding of the social networking website Facebook and the resulting lawsuits. It should be noted that some of the key figures in the story call the movie a dramatization of history and Mark Zuckerberg has noted that the much of the films plot was not factual. However, Eduardo Saverin was a consultant for the book.
With that said, write a 1-2 page essay describing THREE issues that arose in the early years of Facebook, specifically about relationships, roles, and rewards. I am not looking for a critique of the movie. Think about the following:
Rewards: How was the initial founding equity split determined? Was it done properly? Would you have done it differently?
Roles: What role did Sean parker play in the venture? Did that conflict with Eduardo Saverins role in the venture?
Relationships: Based upon the movie, how did Zuckerberg, as the main founder, handle the various relationships that he had?
There may be other themes that arise from the movie as well. You may explore any of those instead of the above issues as long as they relate to the concepts in the course.
In your readings this week, focus on the discussion of leadership in health care as a relational act that really is acting on our own sense of identity, self-esteem, and abilities. Considering these characteristics of yourself, how can you as a leader use these traits to improve and engage in communications within your interprofessional teams?

After a Hard Days Work at ACME
In this Module 2 SLP, you have the opportunity to delve further into the talent management function and HRs role in it. As you may recall from the video on talent management– performance management, learning and motivating, compensation, career development, and succession planning all are contributors to building a strong talent pool.
You will learn more about two employees who have been with ACME, Inc. for two years. Andy is working as a quality assurance specialist in the plant and Ismal is an IT robotics specialist. These employees are friends and often meet outside of work with a few other ACME employees, including Henry, a new employee recently hired as an HR Staffing Specialist.
Ismal caught some movement out of the corner of his eye. It was a video on the overhead TV screen:
(People Squad Solutions, 2018)
People Squad Solutions, 2018. HR Basics: Employee Retention. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIk3SYTDBSY
Quiet.Listen to this, pleaded Ismal. The table of acquaintances turned to the screen. Thats it–I make good money at ACME, but lately I feel something is missing.
Something is missing? Ismal, you are lucky. Many things are missing for me, said Andy.
Yep, more than one thing for me too, said Ismal, thinking about his lousy boss.
Your Role: You are Henry, the HR staffing specialist. Henry wants to impress his boss and thought what an opportunity.Im going to prepare a plan to save ACME from losing these and other ACME star employees as well.
Assignment
Prepare a 3-page actionable plan addressing HRs role (ACME-wide) for one of the three areas of your choice related to employee retention noted in the video. Pull in as many good HR practices as possible.
Choose one of the following:
Purpose for Employees
Pathways for Employees

In addition to the background readings, find two sources from the Online Library to augment your plan.
Submit your SLP 2 paper by the Module 2 due date.
Please provide a statement of approximately 500 words describing your worldview and the resulting implications for education, teaching and learning.A worldview is a person’s fundamental perspective on life and living. It answers the deeper questions of life such as: Why is there a universe and what is the meaning of life? A person’s worldview is a basic framework, which guides one’s thoughts day by day and guides one’s actions in all areas of life. It can be thought of as a life philosophy. As such, one’s worldview will influence what one considers to be the purpose of education, the approach to teaching and learning and therefore, the reason why one may choose to attend a Christian university.
