...Colleen’s family, being from Mississippi, could trace their lineage back to the Civil War and were proud of their heritage. As a result, her family was excited when anyone showed an interested in the family history. This lead to generalized conditioned reinforcers or praise and affection that has the power to reinforce a vast number of different behaviors (Engler, p. 202). This concept can be introduced in several ways; either from an outside individual giving praise or rewards (i.e. food, allowance) or it can be self-given through positive self-talk. Our text indicates that eventually a child will work primarily for the reinforcement of praise. In Colleen’s case, the reinforcers came from family members in response to her expressed interest in her family’s history. When Colleen would indicate she wanted to know more about the family heritage she would be rewarded with smiles, hugs, and kisses. In this instance, the smiles and physical affection were the conditioned reinforcers that reinforced her interest in her family history. This same concept could be applied to how Colleen attracted boys while in high school. She was frequently asked out and desired, which reinforced her behavior of acting as if she was dumb, dressing in expensive clothes, and doing her...

...1. A case study focuses on one or more person and when scientists put all their attention to a small group they can get tremendous feedback for those cases. There is no other research method where so much information can be collected. This allows a deep understanding of the people being studied. Although being so beneficial it also has weaknesses. This approach is only used when people are interesting to scientists because they have a rare characteristic. That means the people that are the focus of the study are not like other people. Since scientists want to explain all behavior focusing on a special group of people make it hard to generalize the observations to a larger group. Generalizing is the ability to apply findings of a certain project to a large portion of society. 2....

...1. Peck’s developmental tasks: • Redefinition of self-versus preoccupation with work role, “the theory that those in old age must redefine themselves in ways that do not relate to their work roles of occupations.” • Body transcendence-versus body preoccupation, “a period in which people must learn to cope with and move beyond changes in physical capabilities as a result of aging.” • Ego transcendence-versus ego preoccupation, “the period in which elderly people must come to grips with their coming death. (pg. 569, 7th ed.) 2. • In my own words redefinition of self-versus preoccupation with work role is the idea that people must find their new place in life separate from career or other types of jobs. • Body transcendence-versus body preoccupation is when people must find a new way to deal with the physical changes that are effecting their bodies because of old age. • Ego transcendence-versus ego preoccupation is when the elderly must accept the fact that death is inevitable. 3. • Redefinition of self-versus preoccupation is not relevant to Grandma because, she was happy to be done working and did not have a difficult time adjusting. She could spend more time with her husband, and devote herself to her church. • Body transcendence-versus body preoccupation is relevant to Grandma because, she could cope with her changing body and except that it was a part of life and move on. • Ego transcendence-versus ego preoccupation is relevant to Grandma because, she is...

...CASE STUDY I: A real estate company owns 800 acres of undeveloped land on a scenic lake in the heart of the Aravalli mountains. In the past, little or no regulation was applied to new developments around the lake. The lake shores are now dotted with vacation homes and hotels. Because the lack of sewage service, septic tanks are in extensive use, most of which are not properly constructed. Seepage from the tanks has resulted in a severe water pollution problem. To curb the degradation in the quality of water, the municipal authorities have approved stringent ordinances applicable to future developments. The new regulations are: • Only single, double and triple family homes can be constructed, with single family homes accounting for at least 50% of the total. • To limit the number of septic tanks, minimum lot sizes of 2, 3 and 4 acres are required for single, double and triple family homes respectively. • Recreation areas of 1 acre each must be established at the rate of 1 area per 200 families. • To preserve the ecology of the lake, underground water may not be pumped for house or garden use. The company is studying the possibility of developing the 800 acres it owns. The new development will include single, double and triple family homes. It is estimated that 15% of the acreage will be used up as utilities and streets. The company estimates the returns from the different housing units as: Housing unit Single family Double...

...In this essay I am going to look at the case study which was discussed within my group in class. The one which I have chosen to do and develop I will also go onto explain what I feel the cause of the persons symptoms are and then go onto construct a hypnoanalysis treatment plan for this person. I will also go on to discuss what I feel would be the required outcome of this case. I will also take into account any ethical issues that may arise. The case study I have chosen is Mr X. He is a 32 year old male client. Mr X’s symptoms are sleeping difficulties, low self esteem and problems sustaining a long term relationship. Mr X has never had a very good relationship with his father and he never seemed to receive any sense of approval from him in whatever he did with his life. He qualified as an accountant on leaving school but has now qualified as a nurse which is something he really enjoys doing. Mr X has felt that his father always thought that he could do better, never encouraged him and when he announced he was training to be a nurse, his father said “Why didn’t you train to be a doctor then?”. What ever he does isn’t good enough for him. Mr X believes his childhood feelings of being undervalued have affected him deeply and these feelings have carried on into his adult life. H knows there is a connection between these emotions and his low self esteem and sustaining a long term relationship. We talk through the notification form and discover this relationship that...

...Case Study #1 Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistant married to Antonio, an Italian engineer, whom Jennifer met four years earlier while on a business trip for her marketing company. The couple now lives in Nebraska, where Antonio works for the county's transportation department and Jennifer commutes an hour each way to her marketing office. They have been trying to start a family for over a year. Eight months ago, Jennifer miscarried in her second month of pregnancy. Antonio's parents love Jennifer and often ask her if she is expecting again, hoping to encourage her to focus on her next baby. Jennifer's mother passed away two years ago and her father's health is rapidly deteriorating. Jennifer faces the probability of placing her father in a skilled nursing care facility within the next few months, against his wishes. At work, Jennifer runs a tight ship. She is organized and prepares lists to assure that everything is done according to schedule. Everyone counts on Jennifer and she takes pride in never letting people down. Jennifer has visited her physician numerous times in the last six months, complaining of headaches, backaches, and indigestion.

Her pains seem to be increasing...

...essay, I will discuss several issues that seem to bind nursing practice with questions of ethics, sociology and management. Reflective practice is an important aspect of nursing management and in this essay we discuss implications of discrimination in nursing care and examine the importance of anti-discriminatory perspectives in nursing. In this paper, the case study I will elaborate is of an elderly woman who was of a non-British ethnic origin and spoke little English. A junior nurse visited her home to provide care but her attitude towards the patient has been discriminatory and abrupt, a situation that calls for serious reflection on the issues of racial discrimination at the clinical setting. The patient was apparently treated with leg ulcer. The questions that have to be considered here are: Where in the observation did discrimination occur and how this could have affected the delivery of care given? And how has discrimination influenced the lady’s care? The concept of anti-discriminatory practice as a contemporary issue within adult nursing is discussed here considering observational evidence and similar case studies. Reflection in Nursing: Reflective practice in nursing is guided by models of reflection. Reflective practice model serves as a framework within which nursing or other management professions can work. Reflective practice model is also a structural framework or learning model that serves the purposes of a profession and is particularly applicable to health...

...Case Study 1: The Union’s Demand for Recognition and Bargaining Rights Sean Kail Columbia Southern University This case study is from 1975 and regards a union trying to recruits new members from an apartment building and townhouse complex. There are 11 employees that work for the Thomas Hall the property manager, in which he did not want involved in any union matters so he passed the burden onto the vice president Carl Alton. The maintenance supervisor got wind of the union trying to recruit the employees and started asking questions. Melton called and confronts multiple employees about the alleged union meetings. Melton was released by the company 15 days after the alleged phone calls and questionings. The union alleged the company violated Section 8(a)(1) of the LMRA, in which they repeatedly interrogated employees. Melton did call and question multiple employees when he got wind of the union; he was definitely in violation of the LMRA, if such were true. The company claimed that they were unaware of Melton questioning the employees and since he was let go the union can not use his actions against them. Also with the election not being held for another 36 days after Melton was let go his actions had no influence on the employee’s decisions. Melton did state “You are either on my side of the fence or your side of the fence… You always had is good. I have given you… you got a nice job, you got an apartment… this is your last chance.” (Ivancevich J. p503). That...

Kenneth Schiff BUS 600: Management Communication with Technology Tools Professor Sherrie Lewis 12/ 12/2011 Case Study Analysis: Case 10-2 La Jolla Software, Inc LaJolla Software recently received a fax from Masahiro Fudaba, a senior Vice President of Ichi Ban Heavy Industries in Japan. For several months LaJolla Software Inc. executives were targeting several Japanese firms for a joint venture that would permit the company to distribute its famous "S-4" supply chain management software in Japan and, perhaps, throughout much of Asia (O'Rourke, 2010, p. 293). The fax explained that the multiple stakeholders of Ichi Ban have an interest in a joint venture with La Jolla Software Inc. However, before proceeding, Ichi Ban will send Kazushi Yakura and a team of eight managers from Ichi Ban to visit LaJolla. While Yakura will leave in a few days, the team of eight managers will remain in the United States until we have reached an agreement. We have limited information regarding our visitors; age, education, prior work experience, and job titles is all we know. We do not know how long the transition team will be in the United States, because we do not know how long it will take to reach an agreement. We do not know how much English, if any, they know, or if they will have a translator. Since we don't have access to this information our ability to maintain cultural sensitivity (O'Rourke...

...Jesse Dove CCJS 100 Research Paper Case Study 1 – Murder 13December2013 Case Study One, Murder It’s sad to think about but each and every day someone in this country gets murdered. Violence seems to flood our streets and pollute our society. It doesn’t matt why either, it could be over drugs, money, or disputes. This is something I find unacceptable but see no end in sight to. As we will see in the case study I will present on one particular murder I will explain my views of the case and what I believe to be the proper punishment. I chose the murder of a man and a women named Rodney Hill and Lucy Wolf. From what little details I have it seems that the incident occurred due to a jealous husband acting on his anger with the use of deadly force. It documented how a restraining order was already placed on Ms. Lane’s former husband due to previous problems with physical and mental abuse. In my opinion I believe this might have been what triggered James T. Lane, a bartender and her former husband to lash out in rage. Both Ms. Lane and her new intimate relationship partner Mr. Hill were found dead due to multiple stabbings after her neighbor called police when he heard loud commotion and yelling that ended in screaming. Once police arrived on scene they found both Ms. Lane and Mr. Hill dead at her residence, the death appeared to be caused due to multiple stab wounds on both individuals. Mr. Wolf also reported to police a description of a vehicle that matched Mr. Lanes automobile...

...Cranston Supply Budget Mike A. Howard INF 336 Project Procurement Management Dr. Arman Kanooni June 1, 2014 Granston Supply Budget This week’s assignment consists of a case study of the city of Graston. From the case study I am to create a project supply and materials budget based on the information in the case study using the ‘Current Year Q-3’ data found in Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3. Also included in this assignment will be an explanation on the importance of a materials supply budget and the impact of the budget on the supply organization. For any successfully business or organization there is an emphases placed on the supply budget which a lot of times will determine the success or failure of a company. Robert Simons of Harvard University published an article in which he gave a brief explanation of a budget it stated “A budget is an ex ante formal statement, generally determined by negotiation and approved by management, of the resource inflows and outflows expected during the budget period. Thus, it is an explicit contract outlining expectations between superior and ^subordinate” (Simons, R. 1988). Every organization needs to have a vision, goals and a plan without those three elements they risk certain failure. So for the material supply budget of any business it has to start with a vision of what they (the company) is trying to achieve. Secondly there needs to be a plan or steps on how they will (the company) reach their goals. For all business the need...
