Assignment 1: Discussion Question: Comparing Three Theories

For this week’s discussion you will consider the scenario below and respond in detail to each of the questions below. Here is the scenario you will use:Roberta has come to counseling because she is contemplating a divorce from her husband of 12 years. She has been unhappy in her marriage for several years and doesn’t think that she and her husband can rekindle the interest necessary in their relationship to make it work. To complicate the situation, she has been seeing a married co-worker for several months on the sly and is sexually involved. Roberta thinks she loves the man she is having an affair with and would like to marry him. Though he wants to continue seeing her he has made it clear that he is unwilling to end his marriage or break up his family to be with her. Roberta and her husband have three young children and she knows a divorce would be crushing to the children. She’s come to you for counseling to sort through these issues.1. In your opinion, which of the following counseling theories would you prefer to use to try and help her: Person-centered, Gestalt or Reality? Choose only one and explain your reasoning in detail.2. Using your chosen theory from question 1, would you go about helping her sort through her confusion? Be sure to bring in concepts from your chosen counseling theory to show how you would specifically work with her.3. Roberta is looking for answers to questions she feels unable to answer herself because she is so emotionally involved. After she tells you her story she asks you to give your perspective and advice on what she should do. How would you respond to this request? What potential problems might arise if you do give her direct advice? What potential problems might arise if you don’t give your perspective? Be specific and detailed in your response.  What would your chosen counseling theory have to say about giving direct advice?4. At the end of the session, Roberta is very distraught and asks if you would be available to meet her for coffee later that day to continue the conversation in a more casual environment. Under what circumstances might this be appropriate, if at all? What potential conflicts might this create? Be specific and draw upon information from your text and lecture materials to support your points.

1. Title of the porposed project – I have provided an overall idea above – please feel free to edit as needed to clarify the idea.

2. Background – rationale and justification. I will attach a document outlining what Qatar Tourism Authority is and the problems within it. The majority of these problems can be solved by employing best communication practices.

3. Literature review (this should be an indication of the literature to be explored in support of an analysis of the ‘problem’ (above) and a brief justification)

4. Research questions and objectives (to be explore with appropriate explanation and justification)

5. Method (suitably justified)

6. Timeline and resource plan for the project (this should be on a monthly basis starting June 2016 and ending November 2017)

The following are the expected sections:

Section 1: Background – this should indicate knowledge of the organization context and some understanding of the problem to be investigated and why it is appropriate to investigate it.

Section 2: The research questions and objectives section should also provide a clear indication of the question to be investigated and why.

Section 3: The literature review should provide some indication of the theories and models that will be used to inform the research questions and also the subsequent analysis of the research undertaken. *The purpose of the literature review is to locate the research within models and theory that already exist and which can be used to understand both the approach to the ‘problem’ and the recommendations that you make. The method used to undertake the research also needs to be justified through established theories and models.

*Harvard referencing systems must be used fully adopted.

N.B. Please ensure the following:
The background section should critically explore the organizational context and the ‘problem’ in order to establish that there is a real need to undertake the research – and a benefit in doing so. I CAN HELP WITH THIS – PLEASE CONTACT ME TO CONTEXT.

Also, the literature review should offer some critical evaluation of the established literature in order to effectively develop appropriate research questions and to be able to assess the research finding of the research in relation to the established literature.

The method of research adopted must be justified through relevant literature.

The timescale and resource plan must be credible and realistic.

The paper contains an excessive number of direct quotations (over 25%). In academic writing, verbatim (direct) quotes should be used very sparingly, if at all. Instead, you should paraphrase the content of your source materials. Besides, you must provide a reference for any information, whether paraphrased or quoted, taken from a source that is not your own. Otherwise, it would be considered as plagiarism.

Hi .. 1- We are talking about energy solutions, which mean oil , solar , wind etc. Basically we cannot wrote a system. You was describing a system , which is not the case. We are discussing how can sustainable solutions can be implemented in Saudi Arabia in terms of resiliency. http://www.urban-futures.org/ ( we are not using the tool in this website, but this website have some ideas) This website can show you the idea , but it is related to water. 2- There is should a main aim. 3- Your objectives should more critical and direct not in general, 4- This should focuses in the local context and conditions. Because the teacher will expect the proposal about Saudi Arabia and the United-kingdom , this is way I put those; http://www.kaust.edu.sa/assets/downloads/kicp-annual-strategic-study-appraisal-and-evaluation-of-energy-utilization-and-efficiency-in-the-ksa%202014-volume1.pdf http://www.kaust.edu.sa/assets/downloads/kicp-annual-strategic-study-appraisal-and-evaluation-of-energy-utilization-and-efficiency-in-the-ksa%202014-volume2.pdf You should use them to build up the proposal. And other references related to Saudi And the UK, 5- Methodology: Should explain that there is will be a primary ( data collection) and secondary studies (literature review)

order_id_1454350_revised.2.doc(33,00 KiB)
Dear writer – I still don’t want use word “System” – The main objective is not clear – The questions should be developed, especially no.3 – You have to use articles which discussed Saudi Arabia, and the UK , as you are using general references. -You have to speak about the oil and solar energy.

order_id_1454350_final_revision.3.doc(33,00 KiB)
Hi.. I am still not seeing the solar energy as the Saudi Arabia have a great future with this option. Plus you still not useing any references talking about Saudi Arabia or The UK. I already attach things about Saudi Arabia for you. Check the links in the order.
