Acknowledging social class

Identify ways in which you as a leader could address social class differences in an organization or community.

Based on the research described by Kraus, Piff, Mendoza-Denton, Rheinschmidt, and Keltner (2012), what might organizations and communities risk by pretending to ignore social class?

Case Study: Healing and Autonomy

Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical twins born 8 years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a strep throat infection. The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent kidney failure. James’s condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment. Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on their own or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve.
The attending physician suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with Joanne, Mike informs the physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God. Mike and Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had witnessed a close friend regain mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after a serious stroke. They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis. Yet, Mike and Joanne agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week, and in hopes that James would be healed by then.
Two days later the family returned and was forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier. Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James? To make matters worse, James’s kidneys had deteriorated such that his dialysis was now not a temporary matter and was in need of a kidney transplant. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors. Over the next few weeks, amidst daily rounds of dialysis, some of their close friends and church members also offered to donate a kidney to James. However, none of them were tissue matches.
James’s nephrologist called to schedule a private appointment with Mike and Joanne. James was stable, given the regular dialysis, but would require a kidney transplant within the year. Given the desperate situation, the nephrologist informed Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue match, but as of yet had not been considered—James’s brother Samuel.
Mike vacillates and struggles to decide whether he should have his other son Samuel lose a kidney or perhaps wait for God to do a miracle this time around. Perhaps this is where the real testing of his faith will come in? Mike reasons, “This time around it is a matter of life and death. What could require greater faith than that?”

What distinguishes the person who engages in health enhancing behaviors from those who do not? Who will perform health protective behavior and who will not and who is at risk of engaging in health harming behaviors?

Why Are We Interested In Health Behaviors


As psychologists, we are interested in health behavior for a number of reasons, the main one being that we believe that behavior patterns are modifiable and thus there is potential to intervene to change behavior and thus modify health outcomes. As such, we are interested in all sorts of health behaviors. What distinguishes the person who engages in
health enhancing behaviors from those who do not? Who will perform health protective behavior and who will not and who is at risk of engaging in health harming behaviors? Once we have identified the health behaviors we can start to address such questions, but before we can do that we need to identify the factors that influence the engagement in or
avoidance of specific behaviors – these we refer to as the ‘antecedents of behavior’ (this will be explored in the next unit)

Understanding Of Risk


What Is Risk?
How do individuals understand risk?
This largely depends on the question that is asked. If we ask: ‘what are the risks of smoking?’ we are equating risk with potential negative consequences, such as developing cancer or heart disease. However, if we ask: ‘what is the risk that a non-smoker will develop heart disease?’ we are equating risk with the probability or likelihood of an outcome. Probability is difficult enough to understand, as a student of statistics: how many of you are really confident you understand the probability calculations that lie behind the 0.05 alpha level? However, when we ask ‘how risky is smoking?’ we are asking about both the negative consequences and the probability of those consequences occurring. Someone may understand the consequences of an action in relation to their health. They may not, however, understand the probability of those consequences occurring in general or on their own individual risk levels.  As such, risk perceptions consist of beliefs about the potential consequences of behaviour, beliefs about the probability of occurrence and beliefs about personal risk in the knowledge of any factors that might modify that risk. These beliefs, as with any other set of beliefs, can be influenced by a multitude of factors – consider the influences on health beliefs we covered during Unit 1.

The Five-Layer Network Model

Overview:

As an IT Support Specialist, it’s important that you fully grasp how networks work. You may need to troubleshoot different aspects of a network, so it’s important that you know how everything fits together. This assignment will help you demonstrate this knowledge by describing how networks function.

What You’ll Do:

In your own words, describe what happens at every step of our network model, when a node on one network establishes a TCP connection with a node on another network. You can assume that the two networks are both connected to the same router.

How to overcome resistance to change

Unit 9 Assignment involves a review of how resistance to change can be effectively managed within an organization. A company’s competitive advantage relies on its ability to quickly adapt to changes in both the internal and external environments. Managers that are adept at guiding the change process will have the ability to shape the organizational strategy overall. However, change is often difficult for individuals, so a keen understanding of techniques available to manage resistance is necessary for any manager.
Your friends at PG Industries need your help again. In the Unit 6 Discussion, you made recommendations to them about ways to introduce teams to help draft a new training program in the manufacturing department. The program has been rolled out, but senior management is struggling to get buy-in from many long-term employees. This resistance to acceptance and adoption of the new training program is causing division within the department.
Based on the information provided in this scenario, draft an essay that identifies what you believe will be the four most effective ways one might manage resistance to change in implementing the new training program.
Justify your choice of tactics by explaining how it is most appropriate in this circumstance.
