ASSIGNMENT

The goal of Juvenile Court is to balance the best interests of the child with the claim of parental rights. Parents have a right to direct the upbringing of their children, including the right to exclude others from that function. They also have procedural rights to contest custody, visitation, and adoption. But the assertion of any of these rights may conflict with the child’s best interests.

In 2-3 paragraphs, using your own words respond to the following:

  • Define the best interest of the child standard.
  • What are the legal categories considered by the course for abuse and neglect?
  • List three factors or standards the court may use to determine what is in the best interest of a child.
  • Which factors are more difficult than others for the course to determine?
  • When responding to peers, consider the factors they provided. Which of these factors are the most important to consider? Do you agree that those are difficult factors to identify? Post a response that suggests how that factor can be determined by providing an example.

$5-Assignment

Hi,

Please be sure to have turnitin to check for plagiarism. Turnitin score of 8% or lower. This paper should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced with more than one reference cited in APA format. I have also included references to help with writing the paper.

 

Application: Adoption of Electronic Health Records

EHRs are an important focus of the HITECH Act. To comply with this legislation and to make the best use of their organization’s resources, health care managers should develop a clear understanding of the nature of EHRs and of factors that promote or mitigate against their adoption.

Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows:

  • Select a particular functional area within a health care setting. This must be an area that makes use of the types of patient data found in EHRs. Examples include: a hospital’s admissions department, emergency room, pharmacy, or nursing unit; or the billing department or outpatient treatment department at a clinic or physicians’ office.
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and conduct a literature search to determine factors that promote and hinder adoption of an EHR system across this type of organization and within this area in particular. Look not only for technological, but also human factors that impact the adoption of EHRs.

Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  • What are key problems related to the adoption of EHRs in your selected functional area?
  • What factors promote the adoption of EHRs in this particular setting?
  • Describe solutions that have been found to promoting adoption of EHRs and to overcoming barriers. Include specific examples, and be sure to address technological as well as human factors.
  • What are specific steps management can take to facilitate the adoption of EHRs?

Using PivotTables to answer questions

Suppose we wanted to answer the question: “What is the amount sold by each salesperson?” for the sales data in the example below. Answering this question could be very time-consuming and difficult—each salesperson appears on multiple rows, and we would need to total all of their different orders individually. We could use the Subtotal command to help find the total for each salesperson, but we would still have a lot of data to work with.

Fortunately, a PivotTable can instantly calculate and summarize the data in a way that is both easy to read and manipulate. Perform the following.

  1. Use the PivotTable to calculate and summarize the data.
  2. Once you have created a PivotTable, change the order amount to currency.
  3. What is the amount sold by each salesperson?
  4. What is the total amount sold in each month?
  5. Take a screenshot or use the Snipping tool to copy the worksheet where the new pivot table and pivot table fields appear to show your work. Paste the screen images into a Word doc.

 

Submit your answers for this assignment by pasting the worksheet screenshots in 1- to 3-page Word document.

d.b. question 2 Racial Criminal Profiling

2-4 PARAGRAPHS   APA FORMAT

 

Part I

Libro University, a small, private university located near the town of Unitas, will be hosting a forum on affirmative action in the college admissions process. Libro University is a major employer in the area, has invited a representative from the Unitas Committee on Human Rights to participate in the forum. The university has an admissions process in which it does not have any particular quota for racial or ethnic categories, but instead it has the goal of creating a diverse student body as one of the factors in the admissions decision process. Even with this goal, the student body of Libro University is only 3% African-American and 2% Latino, which is lower than both the national and local percentages of these racial and ethnic groups. At the same time, some local conservative groups have criticized the university for having any affirmative action or diversity policy, calling it “reverse racism.” Put together some notes for yourself to prepare for the forum, covering the following issues:

  • What is diversity?
  • What are the reasons for encouraging diversity in a student body?
  • How would you describe the value of diversity in the context of education and business?
  • What are the social and economic injustices that affirmative action is meant to address (e.g., unequal access to education, past racism, or current economic disparities)? Give examples and use research to support your answers. Are these current issues or in the past?
  • Do you support the idea of encouraging diversity or affirmative action policies in this context? Explain.
Part II

Define the concept of affirmative action.

  • Do you support or oppose affirmative action in the employment of police officers? Explain.
  • Do you think affirmative action is more important in policing than in other areas of life? Explain.

I.P. Unit 2 Racial Criminal Profiling

Part I

The Uniform Crime Reports page on the FBI government Web site provides links for their annual Crime in the United States publications. Before you are able to view one of these reports, you are given the following disclaimer:

Caution Against Ranking

Each year when Crime in the United States is published, some entities use reported figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county, state, or region. Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents. Valid assessments are possible only with careful study and analysis of the range of unique conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction. The data user is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual reporting units from cities, metropolitan areas, states, or colleges or universities solely on the basis of their population coverage or student enrollment.

Why do you think this cautionary notice is given before users are directed to the FBI’s Crime in the United States publication? Expand on your viewpoint and find credible sources to support your rationale.

If you would like to visit the Web site, go to http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm#cius.

Part II

Go to http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm#cius, again. Scroll down to the section entitled, Hate Crime Statistics, and click on “Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and Training Manual.”

Using this training guide, complete the following:

  • Define and describe the following terms:
    • Prejudice
    • Stereotype
    • Discrimination
    • Racism
    • Sexism
    • In-group
    • Out-group
    • Conformity
    • Institutional supports
    • Social categorization
  • Point out the distinction between institutional prejudice and personal prejudice.
  • Explain ways in which stereotypes can influence memory for and perceptions of events.
  • What are common stereotypes of the specific minority groups explained in the training guide? How may one differentiate those stereotypes from accurate descriptions of the minority groups?
  • Identify the principal psychological motivations underlying prejudice.

Part III

Based on the information you obtained in Parts I and II, do you think there could be racial or ethnic discrimination in arrests? Does cultural diversity have an impact on law enforcement practice? Provide evidence to support your answer accompanied by proper citation in APA format
