Theory Application Paper- Erikson’s psychosocial stages
Detailed Instructions
|
escription
Theory Application Paper For this paper, choose one theory of development (ex: Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development theory). Then choose a specific life stage to focus on (ex: the preschool years). Clearly explain how this theory of development makes sense of this stage of life. What are the key ideas, concepts, terms, etc. that are central to how this theory explains this specific age? You can include a few sentences explaining the theory as a whole (ex: Erikson’s theory includes eight stages that cover the entire lifespan and each involves a crisis…), but please don’t spend time going into detail about other stages that you are not focusing on (ex: how Erikson views late adulthood does not tie into your story about being in preschool, so don’t talk about it).The next step is to apply this theory to ONE personal experience. You might want to ask your parents to share some stories of your childhood if you’re focusing on an early stage of development, or you may wish to focus on an event you clearly remember. (Make sure it is a specific experience and not a general/vague “when I was a child” kind of story. More specific details makes this easier to write and relate the theory to!) This must be a story about YOUR development – not your child, sibling, etc. Describe your personal experience and relate it to the theory of development you chose. How is this experience an example of this theory in action? How would this theorist explain what happened in this event and how you behaved/responded/interpreted it? Tie in the vocab terms and key concepts of this theory into your personal story.There are three parts to this paper:1. this theory’s view of this stage of life (Ex: the way Erikson would explain the preschool stage; though you can spend a few sentences describing the whole theory, please focus on this particular stage of development)2. your personal experience (Ex: something that happened to you during the preschool years)3. how the theory explains your event (Ex: the way Erikson would explain YOUR event/memory)The main focus of your paper should be how this theory specifically applies to your personal experience (step #3) – make sure to connect these dots very clearly if you want full credit. Theories to choose from:EriksonFreudPiagetVygotsky (if you go beyond just ZPD and scaffolding)Please use APA formatting: 12″ TNR font, 1″ margins, double-spaced (no title page or abstract necessary); 3 full pages; include reference page for sources. Please put your name, class, and “TAP: theory/stage” in upper left-hand corner, single-spaced (fill out which theory/stage you did).You may use other sources to help you write the theory section. Our textbook is chalk-full of info. You may use websites, but they must be legitimate sources (.org, .edu, .gov) and have an author to cite. If you use any info from the text or a website, you must have a parenthetical citation at the end of that sentence. This means you may have MANY sentences with parentheses at the end. There is no minimum or maximum for citations, but if you use information from a source and you do not cite it, that’s considered plagiarism!!!

concept of wage differentials- Student Loan Forgiveness
Detailed Instructions
|
Description
In class, we discussed the concept of wage differentials. Historically, a correlation has existed between educational attainment and income level. Acquiring more education (human capital) has always been promoted as a means of escaping poverty. Unfortunately, due to rising college costs, students have taken on unprecedented levels of student loan debt. For this paper, you will research (with a minimum of three additional resources) the “student loan bubble” and proposed solutions to assist the impacted economic actors.
The paper should address some of these main issues:
Rising college costs and the reason for them.
Is a college degree still worth the investment?
What has been the trend in student loan debt over time?
What are the individual and societal consequences of excessive student loan debt?
What are some current proposals or programs aimed at solving the problem?
What are some counter-arguments against student debt forgiveness?
What responsibility should be borne by the borrower for the problem?
Should college be reformed and if so what a reform look like?

Historiographical Paper on Women’s Rights – The seneca falls conference
Detailed Instructions
|
Description
Work on the clarity of ideas and of grammar. Some examples are the comments in the text.
Help in properly formatting your footnotes and Works Cited. (Chicago Style)
The main issue to work on is clarity. The expressions are rather general and vague. Be as specific as you can about actions and their meanings.
View all the comments posted they are on the bottom of the document.
***This is the original prompt and also will be the sources used***
You will be analyzing material from more than one author, and putting the sources into conversation with one another, as well as adding your own voice to that conversation.
Address the following in the paper:
-What were the factors leading to the Seneca Falls Conference on Women’s Rights?
-Who were the organizers behind it?
-What factors in their backgrounds influenced their actions and the form the movement took? *Think here about abolitionism and religion
This paper will draw on the following sources:
-The excerpts from Foner Chapter 12, especially 464-474 “The Origins of Feminism” and all subsections, including the two primary source document excerpts on pp. 470 & 471.
-The chapters from Wellman
-The Declaration of Sentiments
-Use the ideas from the readings in They Say / I Say about the “conversation” to connect, compare, and contrast these authors’ discussions of the women’s rights movement. How are they similar, and how are they different? Where do they complement one another? Foner gives a very brief introduction to the topic, while Wellman goes into more depth and detail about specific aspects of the early movement.

Transitions of Care Consensus Policy Statement 2009- Accountability Communication study
Detailed Instructions
|
Description
Please use the vignette attached and Identify all of the transitions of care (from home to the hospital; from surgery room to floor then discharge home then return to ED) . Please discuss how the patient’s transitions of care were not adequate with respect to the quality of care they should have received. Please discuss how could the patient, caretaker and medical team have worked together to improve the patient’s health care experience?
The Vignettes:
An older woman has back surgery and is sent home without instructions on how to care for herself without home health care services. She has great difficulty getting out of bed, cannot take care of the surgical wound on her back, and cannot prepare her meals. She is told that a visiting nurse will arrive along with dressing materials, but no one ever arrives. She returns to the emergency room by ambulance with a weeping, infected wound covered by unchanged dressings. She explains that she is frightened and that no one had told her whom to call for help.
Please use the attached resources, and Triple Aim concepts in addition to your own independent research as needed.
Point to address and cover in the paper:
# Transitions of Care Consensus Policy Statement: 2009
– Accountability
– Communication
– Timely information transfer
– Patient and family involvement
– National standards and metrics
• Patient and caregiver preparedness /self management support
• Medication and wound care management
• Post-discharge Follow-up and continuity of care
• Transfer of information
Strategies for Patient and caregiver preparedness:
interdisciplinary discharge planning that involves the patient/caregiver:
assessment of existent resources, preference assessment
anticipated place of discharge (home vs SAR vs LTC) and anticipated new needs
early inpatient education
standardized audiovisual instructions, written instructions, brochures focusing on self management
Strategies for medication management:
Clearly designated person inside the team or partner with clinical pharmacist, nurses.
awareness of the changes in patient medical condition and social aspects
Strategies for Follow-up:
Hospitalist-staffed follow-up clinic: follow-up appointment with the hospitalist lower combined rate of readmission and 30 day mortality
Follow-up phone calls: (caller can be: MD, APN, PA, RN, pharmacist, care manager) increase patient satisfaction, medication adherence, decrease preventable ADEs, decrease readmissions and post-discharge ER visits
Follow-up home visits
Coaching Models of Transitional Care
ANP Transitional Care Model: “Nurse discharge advocate”/clinical pharmacist post-discharge phone call intervention. Intervention starts in the hospital: education, individualized instruction booklet, medication reconciliation, arrange follow-up appointments
Strategies for transfer of information:
Improving timeliness: computer – generated DS and using patients as couriers shortened the delivery time of DS
Improving quality: discharge summary template, brief communication with post-discharge team

Decline of Thought in Ray Bradbury’s- Fahrenheit 451 by McGiveron
Detailed Instructions

Description
I have already written the essay but it is terrible and too short. All I want is for you to make the essay better and lengthen the word count. I have listed the sources on the document. I copied and pasted it onto here:
The big lesson of Fahrenheit 451 is that a lot of pain in this world happens because we as a human race let it happen. In the case of Fahrenheit 451, this pain comes in the form of a large government that heavily censors everything to the point it pervades the culture. Is this a book giving yet another warning about totalitarianism like Animal Farm or 1984- it isn’t. It focuses more on how we as a people are capable of readily allowing and welcoming our own destruction.
As Rafeeq McGiveron has described the moral of Fahrenheit 451, “Technology allows for the existence of a mass culture in the novel and minority pressure helps enforce conformity, but the mass exploitation of easy gratification is a fundamental threat to thought.” Now that is a statement Bradbury would have agreed with. In the 1950’s, when Fahrenheit 451 first came out, televisions were becoming more readily and commercially available and thing about television is that to enjoy the stories, tv shows, or movies that come out of it- not as much thought is required to seize the message as is required to read a book. At the time, the world had only left WW2 behind for not even a decade and so the damage of a totalitarian society and its ability to control the citizen’s minds and souls was painfully understood. What Bradbury feared when writing Fahrenheit 451 is that the same type of totalitarian world that had just existed could happen again but not by brute force…. by the consent of the citizens. The reason he feared this is that in a world where televisions, a medium that allows for less thinking, become a more prominent way of receiving information than reading, where more brain power is required, the culture could drastically change for the worse and people willingly become slaves of ignorance. By Bradbury’s own admission, he stated that his fear was “ about the moronic influence of popular culture through local TV news, the proliferation of giant screens and the bombardment of factoids (Source 2).”
If and when a society falls into totalitarianism, a lack of freedom, or a lack of free thought, Bradbury warns, it is very possible for you, the citizen, to be the villain- not just the government.
