Explain parenting style of collectivist-individualist parent

Imagine that you are watching a new reality television show in which parents trade places and take one another’s role in the family. In the program, parents interact with the grandparents in addition to parenting one another’s children. One family is characterized as coming from a collectivist culture, and the other family is characterized as coming from an individualist culture. Each family has one 1-year-old, one 8-year-old, one 14-year-old, and two grandparents living in the household.

To complete this Assignment, 3-page paper that includes the following:

Explain the differences in parenting style of “collectivist” and “individualist” parents. Describe how each couple would differ in their expectations of each of the children.

In light of the differing styles and expectations, analyze the points of conflict that would arise when the parents were swapped. Be sure to identify how the collectivist parents would respond to the individualist children as well as how the individualist parents would react to the collectivist children.

Compare the grandparents’ role in the collectivist family to the grandparents’ role in the individualist family. Identify the conflicts that these roles would cause when the parents were swapped. Then speculate about how the “new” mother and father may wish to change the existing roles?

Offer your conclusion about how you anticipate the show will end. Will any of the family members adjust their beliefs or behaviors?
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation.

Design a evaluation plan to measure efficacy of the proposed

Overview/Description:

The purpose of this assignment is to provide the student an opportunity to design a health promotion proposal specific to your role specialization.

Each student will write a scholarly paper that demonstrates graduate school level writing and critical analysis of existing nursing knowledge.

The paper will be a minimum of 12 pages and maximum of 15 pages, using APA style.

There are multiple sections to the project. These include:

Identification of a specific health promotion topic, along with a well-defined target population.

Critically analyze the current literature related to this topic, .

Create an intervention plan for the identified problem.

Create an evaluation plan for the intervention, which is due in Week 5, along with all other project sections.

The final project is due in Week 5 and will be composed of the above sections which you will adjust weekly based upon the feedback from your facilitator. All sections will be submitted in one document. Additional explanation for each section is provided in the relevant week’s directions.

Project-Specific Criteria:

Clearly describe the health promotion/disease prevention problem specific to the target population.

Explain how the selected problem applies to advanced practice in the student’s role option.

Critically analyze the current literature related to interventions that address the problem related to communities from nursing, the sciences, and humanities.

Select an appropriate health promotion/disease prevention theoretical framework that applies to the problem.

Design an intervention to address the problem in the selected population/setting using appropriate epidemiological, social, and environmental assessments.

Design an evaluation plan to measure efficacy of the proposed intervention.

Choosing Your Topic

The frist step in the project is to identify a topic appropriate for a health promotion project. There are multiple areas to look for acceptable projects, such as the Health People 2020 site, The Institute of Medicine, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ), and current literature in the South University library. You may also want to look at the websites for professional nursing organizations who may also have listings of health promotion priorities.

If you have any difficulty in identifying the topic, please talk to your instructor. Once you are clear on the area of interest, narrow the topic to something that is specific and measureable. For example, if you are interested in the care of the elderly, you may want to focus on a project to lessen the fall rate for the elderly.

Develop a conceptual data model diagram

Assignment

Objectives

– To develop a conceptual data model diagram
– To perform logical design

Assignment Specification

In this assignment, youneed to perform the followingtasks for the given case study:
– Draw an Entity Relationship (ER) diagram
– Perform logical design
– Create3NF Relations

Case Study

Many medical specialists offer their medical consultations and perform special medical procedures to the patients at CQ Specialist Medical Center (hereafter called as CQMC). Patients generally book their appointments through a telephone call or by personal visits to the center. Sometimes, the General Medical Practitioners (GPs) contactCQMC directly on behalf of their patients for the specialist appointments.

The patient details, such as name, gender, etc., are collected and stored at CQMC. Since the name of the patient is not going to be unique, each patient is identified by a unique patient ID. The details of patient’s medical history (past surgeries undertaken), details of current medications (medicines and dosages) and other medication-allergies, if any, have to be maintained by CQMC. The referral letter from a GP is not a requirement at the time of booking for an appointment with the specialist but it is compulsory at the time of actual patient’s consultation. Just prior to the consultation, CQMC collects the referral letter from the patient and notes down the details of date of referral and the GP (identified by unique Medical Provider Number) who issued that referral letter. Based on the necessity, the same GP may refer the same patient to the same specialist many times over a period of time. During the consultation, a specialist may conduct various medical tests and procedures on the patient; may prescribe multiple prescriptions to the patient. After each appointment, the name of the standard tests and procedures performed along with the medical prescription details are stored and maintained by CQMC.

The following table provides the details of consultation and other charges applicable for the specialist’s appointments. The charges can be assumed to be constant values.

Type	Fees/Charges
Consultation	$120
Biopsy	$75
Excision	$175
Laser	$250

Type Fees/Charges

After each appointment, the patient pays the entire appointment charges to CQMC. Each appointment charges include the consultation fees and additionally may include multiple other charges from the above table. Sometimes, some specialists offer discount amount to some appointments on special grounds such as Pensioner, Veteran etc.,

Some GPs and patients often would like to know the details of qualifications and number of years of experience of the specialists. Hence, CQMC maintains and updates those details periodically. You may note that a medical specialist may have multiple qualifications.
The attributes of the possible entities have not been mentioned clearly. Hence, you need to assume at least three and at most seven relevant attributes for each of the entities that you will identify for your ER diagram.

Assignment Requirements

In this assignment,you need to create an Entity Relationship (ER) diagram relevant to the above case study and perform logical design to produce appropriate3NF Relations.

The attributes for various entities have not been purposely described in the case study so that the students are encouraged to further research and list the pertinent attributes in addition to the required identifier for each and every entity in their ERD.

Draw an appropriate ER diagram

Use the symbols as prescribed in your unit-textbook to draw the ER diagram (ERD) for the above case study.

Your ERD must
– show all necessary entities, attributes andrelationships
– show identifiers/identifying attributes as necessary
– show multi-valued attributes, ifany
– show participation andcardinality
– show associative entities, ifappropriate
– show weak entities, if any
– use the notation described in the settext
– use consistent and appropriate naming for entities and attributes as specified in the unit text book

Explain the serial killer criminal behavior

Assignment: Serial Killers

Serial killers attract a lot of attention because of their motives and brutal methods of committing heinous crimes. At the heart of studies of serial killers is the nature versus nurture argument. This argument can be expanded by asking whether serial killers commit crimes because of genetic dispositions or whether a person can be taught to be a serial killer. A lot can be learned from the in depth study and profiling of serial killers. As a victimologist, it is important that you understand that the serial killers don’t necessarily fit nicely into a little box with a theory label attached. Therefore, you know how and why a particular theory is used in these cases. This will help you predict and possibly prevent future victimization.

Victimology is important in the overall investigative process because it not only provides information about the victims (their health, personal history, social habits, and personalities) but also explains why they became victims.

To understand victimology, it is important to understand the method of approach, the method of attack, and the risk assessment by the offender. If we know the victim’s personality, then we may be able to determine, in conjunction with an analysis of the crime scene, how the offender initially approached the victim. The same will apply to the way the victim was attacked and overpowered.

If this information cannot be obtained by studying the crime scene, then an analysis of the victim’s overall risk, that is, the chances of his or her becoming a victim, may help. If we examine this along with the risks the offender was willing to take to acquire a certain victim, then we will get an overall picture of who the victim was and what drove the offender to choose a particular person as a victim.
Learning about the victims of serial killers is not less important than learning about carjacking, robbery, or theft victims. Learning about serial killers’ victims is as important as studying the victims of carjacking, robberies, or thefts. In the criminal justice system, the community and the government place a higher priority on homicides-including serial killings-than on other crimes. Police officers, detectives, and victim services workers are expected to prioritize cases involving homicides and serial killings even if they happen rarely.

Task:

Select a serial killer you find interesting. the Internet and textbook readings, write a 3-page full report that includes the following:

• Any relevant information that was used or that you feel could have been used in profiling the serial killer.
• Theories of criminology you feel might help explain the serial killer’s criminal behavior.
• The theory of victimization you think best explains the selection of the victim.
• For each theory selected:

o Discuss the key points.
o Apply the key points to explain the serial killer’s specific criminal behavior (method of operation).
o Identify the characteristics (for example: ethnicity, gender, age, profession, and socioeconomic status) of his or her victims and discuss how the characteristics seem to be associated with the type of serial killer you chose.
