Advance healthcare Management How can consumers become more involved in their own health care? What products and resources are available to people you if you ever wish to take control of your health or monitor chronic diseases from home Information system management Recall the data integration scenario around the Internet of Things (IoT) medical devices at the beginning of the chapter. As the manager of this project, would you approve the decision to use an offshore contractor to outsource the development of this? Why, or why not? Business law Have you ever had an opportunity to appoint an agent? A power of attorney is a legal document that forms an agency relationship. The principal appoints an agent and grants specific or broad powers to act on his/her behalf. What things should a principal take into consideration when appointing an agent? Critical issues in healthcare In health care, there are many different ethical problems that arise on a daily basis. Of all the departments and positions, what do you believe is a top ethical issue that arises every day? Why do you feel this is such a big issue? Do you have any proposed solutions? What ethical theories and principles apply in the decision to limit the use of reproductive technologies? Do you agree with these theories/principles in this case? Explain your thoughts. Contemporary ethics  What is the “right” and “wrong” that Timmons refers to in your readings, and do these definitions align with your ideas of ethics or morality before you started this class? Discuss your response. Why study ethics? Let’s say organ donation has been perfected, and by sacrificing your life to donate your organs, you can save upward of eight family members of your choosing (Harris, 1975). Is sacrificing yourself to save eight people an example of deontology, consequentialism, or a different ethical approach (e.g., virtue ethics, care ethics, etc.)? Explain. Do you find this hypothetical scenario convincing enough to consider sacrificing your own life? Why, or why not? Explain. General Psychology Researchers try to use a sample of the population that is truly representative of the people in whom they are interested—one of the main reasons for using random selection. Even so, the sample is usually selected from within a particular segment of the social world in which the researchers themselves live and work. For example, in the United States there are some fairly distinct differences between people from the Northeast and people from the Southeast, and the same can be true in many other countries. There are also differences between large city populations and populations living in the countryside. Coaches and medical experts have known for a while that the severe hits that football players take on the field can lead to concussions, blackouts, and even permanent damage. More recently, however, there has been increasing concern that the effects of repeated hits to the head may not manifest themselves until decades later. Early studies suggest that former National Football League (NFL) players suffer high rates of memory and other cognitive problems years after retiring and that they also may develop these problems earlier than non-football players do. Do you think that football playing should be stopped? Should the rules of the game be changed to eliminate hard hitting? Is the risk of permanent cognitive disability different than the risk of permanent physical disability? Wrestlers, soccer players, boxers, and other types of athletes are also at risk for long-term brain damage. Should these sports be changed or banned? How did the information in this unit influence your opinions? If a psychologist is conducting a study in a particular geographical area of a country, how might regional differences impact the study’s results? What measures could or should the psychologist take to minimize the impact? Critical thinking Chapter 1 of our textbook explains the difference between an argument and an assertion. Give your own example of an assertion. Our textbook author states that assertions do “…little other than impart information.” Why do you think assertions should be true? In other words, why does truth matter? As critical thinkers, we greatly benefit by determining what people assume. What people assume is not always said out loud. Briefly summarize a conversation that you recently had or have had in the past (note that this could also be a conversation that you heard). List at least two assumptions that were made during the conversations but were not said out loud. How did you know that these were assumptions (that they were taken for granted)? Were these assumptions true, or were they questionable? When do you think it is appropriate to point out that someone’s assumptions are false? English I In Lesson 1, we discussed audience awareness. As you move forward in our course, think about audience. Think about audience in all things that you do. If your coffee is not right at Starbucks, then think about the barista as your audience before you air your grievances. If you need to bring something up to your superior, consider how you are automatically aware of audience as you plan your strategy. In Lesson 2, in the 2.1 Introduction section, we discussed that there is a process to writing, but that there is no one, specific, start-to-finish process. Instead, the process is cyclical as we learned throughout the lesson. Additionally, you learned that it is important to understand yourself as a writer and that you have your own process. Please respond to this prompt by reflecting upon your own writing process. You may choose to use the guiding questions/prompts below as a way to begin your reflection; however, you do not have to address all of the questions. The objective of this reflection is to become better acquainted with the process that you go through when writing. Recalling the last correspondence that you wrote, what was your process? For example, if the last correspondence you wrote was an email, what was your process in writing that email? Do you approach each academic writing assignment in the same way? What are your feelings about writing? Have you always had these feelings? Do you have the same feelings about all writing or just writing for which you will receive a grade? Do you begin by gathering your thoughts or by writing down everything you know? Do you always follow the same process every time you write, or does your process seem to change depending upon what you are writing? How does your process change (if at all) between writing prepared for work versus writing prepared for your academics? What is your best outline of your process for an essay? Did you find any of the materials in Unit II about process particularly helpful or inspirational? Why? Did you find the notion of “invention” as a canon of rhetoric to be interesting or productive? Why? What was your process for writing this reflection? Remember that this is a piece of reflective writing, and while we tend to consider reflective writing to be about “how far we have come,” it is not necessary for that to be the case. Looking in the mirror at our reflection is not an act about the passage of time or about growth; it is about being able to see ourselves where before we could not. So remember to be kind to yourself. You are a beginning writer, and this is an exercise about discovering who you are as a writer so that we can work together to build who you will be. Critical thinking Different response than #7  Chapter 1 of our textbook explains the difference between an argument and an assertion. Give your own example of an assertion. Our textbook author states that assertions do “…little other than impart information.” Why do you think assertions should be true? In other words, why does truth matter? As critical thinkers, we greatly benefit by determining what people assume. What people assume is not always said out loud. Briefly summarize a conversation that you recently had or have had in the past (note that this could also be a conversation that you heard). List at least two assumptions that were made during the conversations but were not said out loud. How did you know that these were assumptions (that they were taken for granted)? Were these assumptions true, or were they questionable? When do you think it is appropriate to point out that someone’s assumptions are false? Economics for Managers There is growing concern about poverty and income inequality. These two concepts, however, are not the same. Income inequality deals with the percentage of income earned by the different income groups, while poverty is concerned with how difficult it is for the poor to meet basic needs. In Section 1.4, you read about deontological and consequential approaches to ethics. Using those approaches, evaluate how well free market systems versus government intervention in markets address poverty and income inequality. Include in your discussion an explanation of how people in a free market economy, acting in their own self-interest, can better those around them. This unit’s readings included information on pricing. You are introduced to the shutdown price, using elasticity to determine the effects of price changes, and cost-based pricing. Discuss the importance of considering elasticity in pricing decisions and the danger of relying solely on costs. College algebra Throughout this course, there are many different learning aids available to assist you with understanding the material. Watch the MyMathLab Learning Tools, and practice using the tools within your Unit I Homework Assignment. Closed captioning and a transcript is available once you access the video. Which learning tools do think will be the most beneficial? Why? Watch the following video Do You Have a Growth Mindset?, and describe how you perceive your current ability to do math. What steps can you take to grow your mindset as it relates to mathematics? Worker’s Comp Take a moment and introduce yourself to the other students in this course.  Who, what, where, etc.  And if you feel comfortable, a photo so we can know who we are talking with.  Not required.  Purely voluntary.  In the readings for this unit, there are several gray areas that add complexity to determining the course and scope of incidents in the workplace. Use a scenario that you have experienced during your career or provide an example of one of these gray areas, and identify the different factors within the incident that made it complex. One of the topics that consistently gets discussed under the realm of workers’ compensation is the topic of reducing costs. How do you think workers’ compensation costs could be reduced in your place of work? If you are not currently working, use your last job, or use an industry that you are familiar with as an example.
