I’m working on a Science exercise and need support.

In this learning block, you will consider different sources of scientific information. Which sources are the most trustworthy? Where does the information presented in articles and news stories come from in the first place? Sources of information are an important part of scientific discovery. The readings and activities in this learning block will help you learn how to recognize the differences in sources of information. After participating in this learning block, you will be able to:

• Recognize the differences among a variety of sources of scientific information

In this activity, you will evaluate the results of your library research and some websites for credibility using the techniques and tools covered in the Shapiro Library tutorial.

First, review the Website Evaluation Template document. Follow the instructions in that document and complete the table using two of the six sites in the Shapiro Library tutorial. Note that your completed table will not need to be submitted, but you will need to fill it out to complete this activity.

Then use the information from your completed table to address the following:

1. Report your scores for your two chosen sites from the Shapiro Library website tutorial. Be sure to include hyperlinks to the specific articles and sub-pages you examined in your work.
2. Which of your two chosen resources would you consider to be more valid? Explain your choice.

Next, use the news story you selected and the results of your Shapiro Library research and respond to the following:

1. Briefly summarize (in 1 to 2 sentences) the natural science topic featured in your chosen news story.
2. How would you go about finding more information on the topic that you chose? List at least two different sources that you would consider reliable.
3. Briefly explain why you think these are reliable sources of information to help you find out more about your topic.

As you complete this assignment, keep in mind that your answers to these questions or closely related questions will be part of your Project 1: Topic Exploration Graphic Organizer submission at the end of this theme. It is recommended that, in addition to entering the answers to the questions below, you save your answers in a Word document that you can refer to later when completing Project 1.

I’m studying for my Psychology class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is one of the most recently developed approaches under the CBT umbrella. Stephen Hayes, who developed ACT in the 1980s, was trained in traditional CBT. On the surface, ACT would appear to agree with the basic premise of the “it is what it is” statement from this week’s introduction. This approach is not only about acceptance, however, but also commitment, which in this context refers to the commitment to change behavior.

ACT focuses on values and psychological flexibility. It uses mindfulness to bring clients into the present moment in order to nonjudgmentally examine thoughts and emotions. Rather than looking at what happened in the past or might happen in the future, ACT focuses on the present. After this acceptance, an ACT therapist would attempt to move clients in the direction of their values through a series of questions, such as: “What are the things that you really value? What would you like to see written on your tombstone?” By examining what clients would like to be different in their lives, they can begin to change behaviors that do not fit into their value system or worldview.

Steven Hayes believes that social change can come from a person who is acting from his or her value system, and that in this way, ACT is related to social change. For this Discussion, you examine the basic tenets and strategies of ACT and take a position on Hayes’s social change argument. Can a therapeutic approach based on acceptance of thoughts—rather than changing them—be a catalyst for behaviors and actions that lead to social change?

To prepare:

• Review the Big Think Interview with Steven Hayes media program found in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Consider the basic approaches within ACT and reflect on Hayes’ premise that his approach is related to social change.

With these thoughts in mind:

Write a 1-2 page critique of Hayes’s contention that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be related to positive social change. Do you agree or disagree with his opinion, and why? What tenets of ACT support your position? Be specific and provide examples to support your argument.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.

I need support with this Management question so I can learn better.

#1 From Chapter 1 in the book type a two page paper regarding what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding.

1. Based in topic study materials, discuss how servant leadership contributes to competitive advantage in contemporary organizations. Provide specific industry examples of companies that have thrived as servant leaders. Strengthen your claims with supporting citations from topic study materials. Provide in-text citations and corresponding references.

2. One of the challenges often faced by nonprofit organizations is financial viability. Consider how the servant leadership model can make a nonprofit organization competitive in ways that are not profit driven. In your post, discuss whether the value the nonprofit provides to the community and the greater good is professionally appealing enough for you to explore as a career option. Strengthen your claims with supporting citations from the topic study materials. Provide in-text citations and corresponding references.

Week 7: Path-Goal Theory

In 1993, Russia experienced turmoil with stringent, governmental restrictions and an increase in public health issues. In the midst of chaos, some public health leaders acted to offer clear goals and objectives in order to create solutions for the health problems facing the Russian society. Among such leaders in public health, Dr. Julie Stachowiak exhibited a path-goal theory of leadership to prompt healthcare awareness and reform for HIV and AIDS policies. At first, Stachowiak’s initiative seemed blocked by the rampant AIDS epidemic, no strategic plan, and no funding agencies of support. By establishing clear directives for members and connections with appropriate agencies, Stachowiak was able to create networks of support to bolster her organization (Stachowiak, 2010).

Stachowiak’s leadership portrays another leadership perspective—Path-Goal Theory. With review of the current literature, this week you examine ways in which effective leaders encourage and support their subordinates to reach benchmarks and goals. As a future leader in public health faced with environmental challenges, diverse group dynamics, and constant threats from situations, it is important to understand how a leader may “clear paths” toward goals.

Discussion: Path-Goal and Situational Theories of Leadership

There is no guarantee for success for any person in a leadership role. It is not uncommon for a leader who has met success in one leadership role and environment to encounter an experience where his or her leadership is now ineffective. As a result of various factors within situations, success may not be tied to the style of the leader. Various factors might include the situational context in which leadership is applied or the level of member motivation. For example, in Situational Theory, a leader may be effective because his or her style of leadership fits the situation. A leader may also be effective because of his or her ability to motivate subordinates. As outlined in Path-Goal Theory, a leader removes obstacles and provides support to subordinates to achieve goals.

For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources to consider the strengths and limitations of using the Path-Goal Theory of leadership in public health situations. Path-Goal Theory is a widely-debated issue in terms of its validity in leadership practices. As a result, for this Discussion, you must determine if you think Path-Goal is a valid theory of leadership. Then, think about how Path-Goal Theory compares (similarities and differences) to Situational Approach and consider an example of this comparison.

By Day

Post a brief description of two strengths and two limitations of Path-Goal Theory as applied in the field of public health. Then, compare (similarities and differences) Path-Goal Theory to Situational Theory of leadership. Be specific. Finally, explain whether Path-Goal Theory is a valid theory of leadership. Justify your response.
