...research method provide social workers with a better understanding of issues and situations. Qualitative research inform social workers about the best way to help people who are in need of assistance. Qualitative research is useful for social workers to obtain knowledge in complex or sensitive situations for example workplace bullying. Many issues in the social working profession fall within the area of sexuality and mental health issues, qualitative research is one of the best ways for social workers to find the help for individuals with these types of problems (Rubin, 2014). This paper will discuss a article about issues of workplace bullying of social workers, and coping responses. The article was a cross-sectional, non-experimental case study of social worker's perceptions of bullies at the workplace and the social worker's ability to create coping responses to workplace bullying. To collect quantitative information a mail questionnaire was gathered, and individual semi-structured interviews were assessed. The qualitative sample included 111 male and female social workers from Washington D.C. The final outcome results were three to five social workers reported that he or she were recipients of rude, unpleasant, and unfavorable workplace environmental interactions within a year. The bullies targets generally worked in military and mental health outpatient organizations or government agencies. 35 percent of the targets held a direct service role, and 29 percent held a...

...discovered that the defendant, Winnie Tsige, had repeatedly looked into Jones’ banking records. Justice Kevin M.V. Whitaker of the Superior Court of Justice, dated March 23, 2011, was considered to have erred in granting summary judgment and dismissing Jones’ claim for damages. An appeal was granted and heard on September 29, 2011, to address the issue of Ontario law not recognizing the tort of breach of property. The following is a briefing of the court report released January 18, 2012, summarizing the primary facts, issues, and conclusions as detailed by Robert J. Sharpe J.A. FACTS Jones and Tsige were both employees of BMO, with Tsige in a position to access the personal account information of clients. Tsige and Jones were not known to each other, although Tsige was involved in a financial dispute with Jones’ former husband. Over the course of four years, Tsige accessed Jones’ account records at least 174 times, with the intention of determining whether Jones’ former husband was paying child support. Tsige admitted that this was not a legitimate reason for invading Jones’ privacy, apologized, and was subsequently disciplined by BMO. No action was made to directly compensate Jones, who asserted that her privacy protection in financial matters had been “irreversibly destroyed,” and claimed damages totalling $90,000. Justice Kevin M.V. Whitaker dismissed Jones’ claims, holding that Ontario law does not recognize a cause of action for invasion of privacy. ...

In 1791, these amendments were ratified for the rights of the government, citizens and our nation. “The first ten amendments is none as the Bill of rights and still stand as both the symbol and foundation of American ideals of individual liberty, limited government, and the rule of law,” says Ushistory.com. Many people have different viewpoints on the amendments and weather they are wrong, right, important, pointless, and for some it just doesn’t matter. To me, all the amendments are important but the very first amendment stands out to me. The first amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” This was a great way to start of the Bill of rights. So let’s break it down to show why it’s an important...

...featuring a brief summary of Penfield’s life. According to these students (Brookes, Chaney, Wu and Zack), Doctor Penfield was born on January 26, 1891 in Spokane, Washington into a family that was “rich with medical tradition” (2000, p. 237). However rich they were in medical tradition, their lack of financial abilities led him and his brother to go live with their grandparents in Hudson, Wisconsin (2000, p. 237). His father, Dr. Charles Samuel Penfield was Spokane’s first physician after “settling there to find a search for a fresh air cure” (2000, p. 237). According to Snyder and Whitaker (2013), writers for the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences, after having attended Princeton University and coached the varsity football team, he then attended Oxford University in England on a Rhodes Scholarship (2013, p. 278). Kumar and Yeragani write in their article in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry that Sir William Osler and Sir Charles Sherrington were the influences on Penfield, and Sherrington made Penfield realize that “the nervous system was the great unexplored field” (2011, p. 276). Twenty years later, in 1934, Penfield received a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation of New York of $1,232,000.00. With this money and additional help from the Province of Quebec (Ruelland, 2005, p. 65), Penfield “realized his dream” of building the Montreal Neurological Institute for the “investigation of the brain and mind as a way to human betterment” (Snyder and Whitaker, 2013, p. 280)...

...Case Study on Negligence - Stella v Christine Stella can take an action of Negligence against Christine for her careless conduct regarding the slippery floor as well as the heating urn and steamer. She will be the plaintiff, and Christine, the defendant. Stella bears the burden of proof that Christine owed her a duty of care, but omitted to perform it, which caused her personal injuries and economic loss. The elements, including duty of care, breach of duty of care, and damage, must be proven on the balance of probabilities. If proven, Stella will probably be able to claim monetary compensation for her medical costs, loss of earnings, and suffering and pain. At the meanwhile, however, Christine can defend herself by alleging Stella’s Contributory Negligence so that the amount of her compensation might be reduced. DUTY OF CARE The law states that the duty of care is established upon the reasonable foreseeability test, which means a defendant will owe a duty of care to a plaintiff where it is reasonably foreseeable that their act or omission of act might harm the plaintiff. Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] created the modern concept of negligence. Since then, the test of 'reasonable foreseeability' has been discussed in many cases. Take Wyong Shire Council v Shirt [1980] as an example, in that case the court held that it was a foreseeable risk that the ambiguity of the deep water sign might induce people to believe that the water was deep and therefore safe for water skiing;...

...Addiction Movie Analysis Rosario Scarzone SCI/100 3/13/2016 Deborah Mattheus The Addiction movie I chose to do is the movie Flight. Here is a very brief summary of the movie; Commercial airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) has a problem with drugs and alcohol, though so far he's managed to complete his flights safely. His luck runs out when a disastrous mechanical malfunction sends his plane hurtling toward the ground. Whip pulls off a miraculous crash-landing that results in only six lives lost. Shaken to the core, Whip vows to get sober -- but when the crash investigation exposes his addiction, he finds himself in an even worse situation. There were two types of drugs addressed in this movie alcohol and drugs, cocaine to be more specific, in which the pilot was addicted to both. His addiction to alcohol came on at an early age due to the stress of his career. Then later on in life alcoholism is what lead him to cocaine, claiming it helps him focus and be alert. These two addiction greatly affected those around him friends and families. Just about all his close friends including the ones he worked with knew about his drinking, but either didn’t think it was a big deal or didn’t speak to him about it and just ignored it. When they started doing the investigation he was worried about what anyone of them would say, so he went around to the ones who knew he was drinking the day of the crash to plead with them not to say anything and even using blackmail...

...in a lower class, physically disabled, or homeless, this essay provides an in-depth psychoanalysis of one the wealthiest people in the world during the early 1900’s. Howard Hughes has now emerged as one of the 20th century’s most iconic business and aviation figures spawning a wide range of cultural references. To date, Hughes’s persona has been used in over fourteen different films. The most popular of which, The Aviator, accurately depicts the progression of his chronic Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. In the first section of the text, the author introduces the concept of the film and how his disorder played a role in his life. The introduction consists of a short biography of the protagonist, mentions other important characters, and a summary of the film. Afterwards, the author attempts a comprehensive description of psychopathology and particular psychopathological dynamics depicted in the film. A formal DSM/ICD diagnosis of the protagonist follows as the author determines what Howard’s symptoms would ultimately be classified as. Three separate scenes are selected and discussed to analyze detailed examples of how the diagnosis was made. Lastly, the author will reflect on the positive and negative messages that the film portrayed regarding the particular disorder and its psychological dynamics. Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E. The opening scene shows a nine-year-old Howard Hughes spelling “quarantine” while being told by his mother that she is afraid that he might contract a disease...

Do you think there is a large chance of cannibalization? If so, how can CUTCO avoid that? Pampered Chef offered its products for sale at Target in the past, but since the independent sales people build their own businesses and their incomes from sales of the same products, most of them were extremely upset with Pampered Chef, because they were essentially taking money right out of their sales' people's pockets. Pampered Chef ended up pulling its products and reverting to direct sales. Do you think the risk of upsetting and/or cannibalizing the direct sales force is worth the increase in revenues that would be realized by selling through other channels?

...Running Head: CASE ANALYSIS Case Analysis of Theresa Jimmie Cross Glenda J. Chandler Northcentral University Case History Theresa Cross was born in Sacramento, California on March 12, 1946. She was the youngest child in her family. Bill and Clara Tapp are from their mother’s previous marriage. Rosemary and Theresa were the daughters of Jim and Swannie Cross. Both Jim and Swannie gave preference to boys and Jim was rather disappointed that he only had daughters. Jim wanted a son to carry on his name. He charged Clara $60.00 a month for room and board in their home. Clara was also made to care for her two younger half-sisters while their mother worked. “Sometimes she was forced to stay home from school for weeks at a time” (McDougal, 1995, p. 14). Theresa was her mother’s favorite and Theresa fought Rosemary for the attention of their mother. Swannie was a strict mother and made her daughters do all the housekeeping. She never allowed her daughters to leave their own yard. Swannie let her son do pretty much whatever he wanted. She often made excuses for Bill when he was caught stealing. He did not see this as a second chance, but as permission to continue. He eventually ended up divorced and in prison for the remainder of his life. The preference to boys was apparent in this family due to the fact that the oldest daughter, Clara, never received a legal name until she was 20. She demanded that her mother sign the paperwork to grant her a full name on her birth certificate...

...How Campaign Finance Affects Electoral Outcomes (Name) (Subject) (Nature of Work) I. Introduction An electoral candidate can win an election if he has plenty of campaign finances. This seems to be the common wisdom that people believe in when it comes to the electoral success of candidates. However, such a statement is not easily verifiable. In fact, there are several factors involved in the determination of whether or not there is a correlation between the campaign finances used by candidates and the probability of winning due to these funds. It has been the contention of majority that for a candidate to get a seat or win the presidency, it is important that he spend lavishly. If this is the case, then incumbents, who are generally the ones equipped with the biggest campaign funds, have edge over challengers. It is also an assurance to potential challengers that if they manage to put up campaign funds, whether from contributors or from their own pockets, they are already assured of a win in the elections. With the government structure the United States have, generalizing for all sectors of the government, particularly during the electoral races, will be quite complex. Moreover, though it is very easy to make assumptions, such arguments could start crumbling once empirical studies of various experts on the subject of political science come to light. Factors such as policy decisions, party affiliations, popularity, etc. play a role in the...

...Health Promotion is the provision of information and/or education to individuals, families, and communities that-encourage family unity, community commitment, and traditional spirituality that make positive contributions to their health status. Health Promotion is also the promotion of healthy ideas and concepts to motivate individuals to adopt healthy behaviors. According to the World Health Organization, Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve their health. Health promotion represents a comprehensive social and political process, it not only embraces actions directed at strengthening the skills and capabilities of individuals, but also action directed towards changing social, environmental and economic conditions so as to alleviate their impact on public and individual health. Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over the determinants of health and thereby improve their health. Participation is essential to sustain health promotion action. The Ottawa Charter identifies three basic strategies for health promotion. These are advocacy for health to create the essential conditions for health indicated above; enabling all people to achieve their full health potential; and mediating between the different interests in society in the pursuit of health. These strategies are supported by five priority action areas as outlined in the Ottawa Charter for health promotion: * Build healthy public...

...Evidence-Informed Practice: An Evaluation of the David Bennett Inquiry Report In this essay I will evaluate the David Bennett Inquiry Report, which was set up by the North, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire Strategic Health Authority (NSCSHA) to investigate the death of Mr David Bennett. I will define evidence-informed practice (EIP) and summarise the inquiry report. I shall highlight and critically analyse some of the key issues raised in the report in relation to ethnic minority issues. Finally, I will discuss the implications of evidence-informed practice for social work as well as my own future practice. EIP in social work began in the early 1990s when contemporary writers Geraldine MacDonald and her colleagues wrote articles very much in contrast to earlier reviews; they looked at results from studies such as quasi-experimental studies and client opinion studies about the effectiveness of social work practice. This led to good outcomes for social work practice (Webber, 2011) [Online]. Evidence-informed practice in social work has been described as: ‘Evidence based social care is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions regarding the welfare of those in need of social services.’ (Sheldon and Chilvers, 2000, p.5, adapted from Sackett et al., 1996 cited in Webber, 2011, p.3) Webber (2011) and Sheldon and Chilvers (2000, p.5, adapted from Sackett et al., 1996 cited in Webber, 2011, p.3) both define EIP as using effective interventions...
