I’m stuck on a Psychology question and need an explanation.

Do you have free will? Or does your brain chemistry make decisions for you?

This week you’re learning about the electrochemical reactions that happen every time you think, feel, sense, or act. So does that mean you are not in charge? Does body chemistry direct your choices and eliminate your control?

1. Watch the TED-Ed video How Does Caffeine Keep Us Awake? that explains the specific ways caffeine affects your mood, alertness, and performance, all through your nervous system.
2. Then, write a post offering your opinion: Free will, or brain chemistry? Or is there some way to reconcile the two?

Support your post with information from the video or the weekly Webtext. To receive full credit, remember to write 2 posts in the discussion: one original and a response to another student. Your original should be at least 7 sentences, and your reply should be 4 sentences.

Note – please write more than your preferences about caffeine. Be sure to answer the question about free will or brain chemistry. Thanks!

anitha -Can a PMO accelerate the implementation process?

Project Management Office or PMO can speed up the implementation process of a project or an EPM system without any doubt. The purpose for this PMO performs following projects management administration direction to extend managers in the business units, develop and implement a consistent and standardized process, conduct training programs or collect requirements for an outside organization. An individual will hold the specialist and outcome in clear commands and progress. This of course holds true when PMO has access to all the relevant internal and external information as well as resources. PMO holds accountability for timely and proper implementation of the project and follows well-defined set of in order to assure that the acceptable and best practices are followed in timely fashion. Frequently the measure of the interest in a PMO is significant. Furthermore, it can be attacked to work sub ideally or come up short if the Organization Change Management (OCM) viewpoints are disregarded or ignored. Tending to the OCM issues from the beginning of any PMO usage or change improves the probability of its prosperity. Ordinary OCM Challenges When Implementing a PMO Discovering “stovepipes” in the association that restrain or keep the improvement of data expected to decide. Executing a PMO out of the blue – and not knowing how much the association can or will be influenced. Not understanding the pace and retention rate of progress the association can take. Protection from the possibility of a PMO or reinforcing the PMO by senior pioneers, mid-level administrators and additionally staff to the progressions and responsibility that originates from an undertaking based association.

Project Management Office ensures that resources are properly allocated as per best of their ability to right processes and various stages of development processes are planned and executed in appropriate manner while meeting project deliverables. PMO department of any organization defines standards and other associated approaches towards planning and execution to satisfy the service level agreements. This derives the baseline of quality assurance and other standards that project has to meet for successful implementation. Furthermore, with its resource allocation practices, PMO exercises increased efficiency throughout different stages of a product development life cycle. No doubt, with this responsibility, PMO department also enjoys the authorization powers and decision-making commands. PMO office is responsible for maintaining necessary documentation in standard format within guidelines, coordination between resources and stakeholders to achieve project deliverables, decision making and conflict resolution, workflow management, best practices, and progress tracking as well as systematic task prioritization and completion while supporting the mission and objectives of the company.

PMO serves as a catalyst for project processes and influences the strategic execution of the tasks at various stages to fasten up the processes. With use of pre-designed tools and pre-defined processes, it becomes easier to keep focus on overall objective of the project and hence achieve it fast and in an efficient manner. Not to forget that PMO department also serves as an agent to diversify the responsibilities of people in charge and avoiding any bottle necks in terms of task management.

CAN A PMO ACCELERATE THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS?

If implemented correctly, PMO has a good chance to accelerate the project implementation process. The basic aim of PMO is to make a standardized process for all projects within the organization. When PMO is appropriately supported by the leadership, it can efficiently analyze the collected relevant data and disseminate throughout the organization. This in turn will help the project management process.

PMO improves the decision-making process by projecting a united vision of the project management team and the leadership. The PMO must create a blueprint for the projects at departmental level which creates a recurring process. This ensures that best practices are incorporated in the project. It optimizes the resources of the project, reducing the cost and fast-tracking the implementation. PMO defines a set of rules to follow for the project management team of every project. To achieve the strategic goals of the company, that are in sync with the corporate management, all the standardized information is communicated effectively with transparency.

The integrated process shown by the PMO will serve as a model for accountability and implementation process to achieve the strategic goals set by the leadership. According to an improvement methodology called Theory of Constraints by Eli Goldratt – a project in place is initiated to have a positive effect on the organization will reap its benefits the quicker the project is completed.

PMO can fail if the there isn’t a feasible business case and choose ineffective personnel for implementing the PMO. PMO should not have a model which loans project managers to departments. Such model will sabotage PMO as each department will work on their own projects which not necessary align with the vision of the leadership.

   • How is sound transmitted from the environment outside the body to the inner ear? What structures are involved, and how do they transmit sound?
   • What happens in the inner ear (cochlea) when sound waves are converted to neural signals? How is sound frequency (pitch) processed?
2. Next, summarize the causes of presbycusis and explain how they will interfere with the normal processing of sound as outlined above.
   • Discuss one source of presbycusis involving a problem with the outer/middle ear.
   • Discuss one source of presbycusis involving a problem with the inner ear.
3. Finally, describe what it might be like to have presbycusis. Include the following points:
   • If you have normal hearing now, how would your ability to converse with others be affected?
   • What activities that you now enjoy would be limited by this condition?
   • How would such a condition affect your work life?

Student paper down below:

Human services have developed throughout the course of human existences, from pre-civilized societies of hunters and gathers, to modern social programs that currently work to serve the needs of today’s population. By analyzing the changing demographics and the development of the social programs to serve the most groups, the political influence on the scope and potential of social programs, and the increasing need for highly knowledgeable human service professionals human services as an industry can impact the results of their efforts by creating efficiencies and effectiveness. This is essential as the resources that human service programs depend on can be volatile due to changing of societal values and the political affiliation of those who are in charge of allocating resources.

Organizations and advocacy groups that are lobbying and working to serve people need to understand the past and current climate of human service organizations to ensure support and funding of the future needs of a changing society. While there are many ideas about what the scope of human services should be, it is idea that human services as an industry serve a wide range of needs. By serving the different types of needs as described on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs human services can help the widest groups of individuals in our communities, making society more productive and abled. (Burger, 2018) Some of the changes in the demographic of our communities are the rate of poverty, racial and ethnic profiles, and age groups. 2018 was the fourth consecutive year that the United States saw a reduction of the total number of individuals in poverty. The total decline was 3 percentage points. (Semega, Kollar, Creamer, & Mohanty 2018) As poverty is declining the basic needs, which Maslow deems the physiological needs, will shift to other needs higher up on the hieracrchy. In the next couple decades trends will show the ethnic minorities become majorities. We will also realize and steadily increasing aging society. (Burger, 2018) These changes warrant us looking at the effectiveness of service to these groups as resources and effort should shift along with societies’ demographics to have the most effective human service mix. Groups who advocate and lobby for the resources should explore and understand the impact of current services and the need for expansion into the programs who serve these groups in our population. By understanding the challenges in providing services, the impact on the political climate on resources, they can be better prepared and organized to meet the challenges and changes of our population with dynamic and well-planned solutions.

An analysis into the future of human services will also bring to light that the role of the human services worker needs to change to reflect the needs of society. We have seen this with the scope of the generalized human services worker widening to include mental health services, crisis intervention, and preventative programs. With the growing need for more proficiently trained individuals we have seen society respond by universities and colleges creating a variety of training courses and degree programs designed to educate the next generation of human service providers. Advances in many technologies have allowed for the creation of software and tools for the human services worker to expand their efficiencies and better serve clients and communities. (Burger, 2018) By exploring the effectiveness of different approaches to preparing our human services workforce to meet needs of society managers and planners in human services, along with those planning to enter the field can properly implement the correct actions and tools to strengthen the capabilities of their workforce.
