...Writing a paper either individually or in a group, there are many things to consider other than just the writing itself. Selecting a topic to write about is different by yourself as opposed to a group. When writing alone, you don't have anyone else to contend with, so the choices are easier to make. However, you may not have as many options as you would working in a group, many people working together will come up with a much larger range of topics. Either way has its benefits as well as its problems. Having more topics to pick from will give any paper a much richer material base to pool from, but at the same time having to deal with many people means that things may not always go smoothly, as some members of the group may not see eye to eye on every topic. On the other side of that, one person writing a paper will have fewer problems picking a topic, but at the same time will not have as many to choose from as someone working in a group. One thing both ways of writing a paper have in common is that you still have to pick one subject to work with, regardless of how many people are working on the paper. And depending on the subject that you have to work with, a group or individual may come to the same conclusion in a short amount of time. When writing in a group, it can be more difficult to edit work as more than one person is writing it. When you write by yourself, the revisions can be a bit easier as you can have a better vision of the finished product as well as the fact that...

Be sure to include examples of teams where communication breakdowns occurred, identify where, when and how the breakdown happened, and why. List possible ways the communication breakdown could have been prevented or fixed. If the solution is given in your example, evaluate the solution. Would your communication plan need to change if you were working with a culturally diverse team? Why or why not? Also, share your experiences about two different work groups--one effective and one ineffective in the areas noted below. If you don’t have any or much experience with groups at work, you can instead analyze other types of groups in which you’ve been a member, such as a club, church group, sports team, etc. a.

Organizational psychology is described as a field that utilizes scientific methodology to better understand individuals working in organizational settings (University of Phoenix 2008). The use of organizational psychologist is designed to help the organization function more effectively. There are several benefits from an effective organization.

Organizational Psychology Organizational psychology is the scientific study of individual and group behavior in formal organizational settings (University of Phoenix 2008).To further this definition, psychology alone focuses on individual behavior. Organizations will fall apart if they would allow its employees to do their own thing and not have structure. Organizational psychology is a must in all organizations.

Organizational psychology is mostly focused on group-type settings, most commonly in offices and workplace...

According to Kids Matter Incorporated, child neglect is the most common form of child mistreatment. It is important for all people to be able to recognize when a child is in the troubled path of neglect.

Recognizing physical abuse can be done by noticing a child’s poor hygiene, seeing a child inappropriately dressed for certain weather occasions, unmet medical or dental needs, malnutrition, or staying late at events such as school or extracurricular activities to avoid home.

It will include a description of the populations’ demographic based on research of professional literature. It will also include the description of my personal awareness of population before studying the demographics. It will state the effect of research on personal attitudes after gathering knowledge. It will then describe how knowledge might affect health care delivery. Finally, I will use self-reflection to evaluate my perception before and after learning about the population (University of Phoenix, 2013). Description of the Population’s Demographic The population’s demographic affected by the child abuse by parents, are both the parents and the children. Children affected by parental child abuse are a vulnerable population because often time children do not know who to seek help from.

...Lessons Learned Paper Francisco E Guzman University of Phoenix Dr. Nancy Arduengo Lessons Learned Paper * Connecting with a group of doctoral students for the first residency is very challenging. Most of the students admitted to having feelings of misperception, worry, or uncertainty. Meeting someone new is certainly not comfortable, however the anticipations and nervousness of a doctoral program is adequate for someone to ask why one would choose to embark on a titanic venture. This residency has encouraged me to withstand in my program. There were more than a few eye-openers that revealed progress and improvement as a doctoral student. In the last five days, various lessons and experiences were imparted and learned but the most important lessons for me include the learning team experiences, scholarly writing, and reflective journaling on the lessons learned. Learning Teams During this residency experience, I acquired a lot about learning teams. In my academic and professional experience, I have been a part of numerous teams. I have had some bad encounters with teams during my period with the University of Phoenix and acknowledged that the team experiences at residency would be similar. I definitely applied my situatedness but I understand now a cohort of different personalities can form a successful team where all opinions are heard, all ideas count, all contribute and all appear to demonstrate an authentic interest for one another.

...for poor physical, psychological, or social health. Anyone can be vulnerable at any given point in time as a result of life circumstances or response to illness or events” (p. 3). In order to render good healthcare, healthcare providers need to be aware of their own vulnerability. This paper will discuss the vulnerable population of the elderly; demographics of the elderly; personal awareness of the elderly including attitudes, biases, and stereotyping prior to studying the elderly; the impact of research on personal attitudes after gathering information, and how knowledge might affect the delivery of healthcare to the elderly.

...Statistical Information Paper HCS 438 July 17, 2011 Monica Vargas Statistical Information Paper Statistics are used in many different ways in my workplace. The use of statistics is for the improvement of quality care and safety. Statistics are also used to measure employee compliance in regards to hand washing and proper use of policies and procedures. We also use charts and graphs to show infection rates, skin integrity, falls within the facility, budget concerns, and many more. These graphs help hospital personal improve care and safety to provide quality care to all patients. Graphs can also be used to measure patient and employee satisfaction. Descriptive statistics are used to describe the basic features of the data in a study and do not involve generalizing the data that has been collected. They provide simple summaries about the sample and the measures. Together with simple graphics analysis, they form the basis of virtually every quantitative analysis of data (Trochim, 2006). An example of descriptive statistics used at my workplace can be the number of patients that are admitted into the hospital on a Monday versus a patient admitted on any other day of the week. This information can also be broken down into more descriptive categories such as how many patient were men, women , children, what is their diagnosis, why were they admitted, and so on and so forth.

...achieve academic success. * * Different Learning Styles * In order to fully achieve academic Success, one must know and understand their unique learning style in order to be Academic Successful. There are many ways individuals learn to perceive and interpret information. As a visual learner myself; I do not retain information just by reading alone. I have to color code the main points in my reading, I also have to read two or 3 times before grasping the concept of any reading materials. With color coding it aids me in rewriting and organizing my notes, I seem to retain the information better that way. Unlike the auditory learner, they use the sense of hearing to learn and tend to like live lectures than reading them. Auditory learning would probably be hindrance in me achieving Academic Success because; it would require a lot of my time and energy to learn. I would require much help and possibly a tutor to achieve Academic Success with this type of learning style. I also learn by hands on experiences known as bodily kinesthic learning, this learning style allows me to learn much faster than listening and reading alone. According to Blevins and Sonya (2014) they researched this type of learner learn by “Simulation, hands-on demonstration and...
