Project description
This assignment will allow you to evaluate your competency in conducting, assessing, and applying a counseling theory and specific communication techniques in a simulated therapy environment. Understanding the applications of client-centered therapy in the therapeutic environment helps you narrow the gap between concept and practice, and it also provides a foundation upon which you will build when completing the assignments found in Units 6 and 10.

Instructions
For this assignment, find a friend, relative, or fellow learner who is willing to help you practice four basic counseling skills:

Paraphrasing (restating and exploring thoughts).
Reflecting (restating and exploring feelings).
Empathic statements that show your understanding of their situation and/or their emotions.
Summarizing the conversation to review what has been discussed.
You will only reflect, paraphrase, summarize, and make empathic statements to move the client toward a greater understanding of their presenting concern.

DO NOT ask any open or closed-ended questions.
DO NOT give any advice or tell the mock client how to solve their problems.
DO be curious to learn more about your client, to understand your client more deeply, and to see how well they can move towards solving their own problems when you provide a warm, caring, understanding environment.
Have your helper make up a problem they want to talk with you about in the context of receiving psychotherapy. Explicitly clarify with your mock client that this activity is not an actual therapy session. Conduct the mock session with them for about 30 to 40 minutes, playing the role of a client-centered therapist. Consider how you will convey the therapist’s three core conditions Rogers believed were critical for client success: empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard.

Submit a 46-page paper to your instructor in which you:

State in the introduction of the paper that you played the role of a therapist and that your helper played the role of a client.
Next, explain in your paper the problem that the person playing the role of the client made up to discuss in the role play. This disclosure statement must be included to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply some elements of the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and to earn any credit for this assignment.
Describe in general the mock therapy session you conducted and evaluate how well you employed the four basic micro-counseling skills required in the assignment. Discuss what seemed to work well in this session. Share any difficulties or challenges you noticed while conducting the session.
Finally, summarize in one paragraph the key point(s) that you will remember about this exercise.
To successfully complete this assignment, your paper must meet the following requirements:Written communication: Written communication that is grammatically correct and is free of errors that detract from the overall message. Writing should be consistent with graduate level scholarship.

My company is one of several organizations that try to develop a new helmet for military personnel to meet the new stringent standards of the US Department of Defense. If we are able to develop a unique new process for manufacturing this helmet, we are likely to reap a significant economic benefit.Three other companies work on the same problem and they employ some of the best scientists and engineers in the field (as do we).  There is a high likelihood that the company that gets the solution first would have its solution reverse-engineered by the other two corporations.On 1 September 2015 my chief engineer announced that the latest round of testing has demonstrated that our new process works; in several additional months we would have a complete new process ready for manufacturing of helmets that would meet the new DoD standard and make us millions of dollars.A big debate started among my managers. wants to rush to the patent office and file for a patent on the new process right away, even before we have completed all the testing and before all the preparations of the new process for manufacturing. He believes we have enough evidence to convince the patent office in the validity of our invention right now. He does not want to wait. believes we should not rush. “We were the first to invent the new manufacturing process and we can prove that we were the first,” she says. Hence we will be granted the patent eventually even if others try to claim that they should be granted the patent because they filed before us. “It is better,” says Harriett, “to make sure we completed all the work and provided the patent office with complete and unassailable patent application when we finally file.” thinks that we should not file for a patent at all but start manufacturing the helmets based on our new invention as soon as possible. Our new process should be considered a TRADE SECRET.  Explain the PROs and CONs of each one of the three approaches, and provide your substantiated advice on what needs to be done based on the facts of the case. Whose advice should my company follow and why?Manager TomPros: No one else would be able to copy the invention since there are other companies trying to invent a similar product as them. The three family restaurants that my mother manages and owns are known for a special dessert,

Thank you. Assignment 1: LASA 2: History of Environmental Issues for an AreaIn this assignment, you will select one region of the world with known environmental issues and create a timeline of the events in this area, going back no more than 200 years. For example, you could choose to focus on the Gulf Coast in the United States and its history of hurricanes, floods, and the recent oil spill; the Love Canal disaster in New York; the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown in Ukraine; or Canada’s tar-sands in Alberta. Each of these areas has a history of environmental problems that have impacted populations, and their health, drastically.To help identify a region with known environmental events for this assignment, consult your textbook, the WHO Public Health and Environment Program’s Web site, and the UNEP’s Web site. Please be sure to support your public health analysis of these environmental issues with evidence-based research.Using this timeline of events, create a presentation analyzing the environmental issues in this region, including the following topics/issues:History—A brief timeline: Describe the environmental history for the area(s)/region(s) impacted, including the environmental disasters that have taken place and their immediate- and long-term impacts on the population’s health in this region. Wherever appropriate, include a description of the population(s) in the region, along with demographics and population sizes. This should take approximately 4–5 slides.The factors that caused these disasters and public health outcomes in this area. Be sure to list all known causative factors at play and whether they are caused by humans and/or are natural. This should take approximately 2–3 slides.An analysis of how these events have impacted or will impact the health and/or disease risk of this region of the world. Be sure to address other determinants of health—social, economic, cultural, and other environmental factors—in your analysis that influence or will influence the magnitude of environmental events on health outcomes in this region. Examine whether you are focusing on a region with primarily developed or developing countries and explain how this influences current and future health outcomes. This should take approximately 4–5 slides.A summary of past, current, and proposed efforts that aim to help combat the effects of these environmental issues/threats on health (local and/or global), including emergency response planning and prevention efforts. This should take approximately 3–4 slides.Three recommendations for strategies to protect populations in this region from poor health outcomes due to these environmental issues. Be sure that your three recommendations are supported with evidence-based research. These could include long-term policies, emergency response plans, or public health programs that would protect public health in the region. This should take approximately 3–4 slides.References used for the project in APA format. This should take approximately 2–3 slides.Be sure to include detailed speaker notes for each slide to elaborate on what you would say while presenting your material.Develop a 20–25-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format.

Project description
Use the attached proposal as a reference to guide you through the topic of this paper. You need to incorporate three modes of argument: to inquire, to convince and to persuade. The paper must show proper use of MLA citations, synthesizing outside material, and making a cogent defense of your position. This paper is an extension to the proposal that is attached. Please stay on the topic of knock-off fashion and the child labor used to create those knock-offs. Do not go on tangents and please try to stay as focused on the topic as possible.

Follow these instructions and make sure there is a separate annotated citation page with 8 resources at least. You may use the sources that were mentioned in the proposal as part of the 8.

You should include short, concise quotations from the sources. This could mean that the quotation introduces, helps develop, or serves as proof of a claim made in the paper. The quotations should be well-integrated into the papers narratives, which is to say, the quotation should be introduced in some way and then explained/deepened in relation to what it is used to support/introduced/explain (note that this is different than merely re-stating what the quotation says).

The paper should include four sections:

1. A thorough introduction: this section will demonstrate the ability to present the context/exposition more concisely and compellingly (read the attached proposal). You MUST round off introduction with a position (THESIS) to defend. (100-250 words) An example of a thesis that could be used is “While knock-offs can be cheap and tempting to buy, they do not make any one more stylish, they just make the consumer a contributor in making the world we live in a worse place.”

2. Two primary reasons: these paragraphs will declare two reasons to support the thesis. You must demonstrate the ability to incorporate two to four sources within your evidence. (400-600 words) Clearly, the reasoning will expand as will the research and defense.

3. A short paragraph explaining opposing reasoning and counter to it (175-250 words). Incorporate one to two sources.

4. The Reference page needs to have at least EIGHT sources with Annotations in MLA format. TWO must be deemed not useful to the research. At least FIVE sources must be scholarly articles. The annotation part for each source should include: Type of source, the audience the work is intended for, summary of the work, if the work has any bias, and it needs to be assessed and reflected on weather it was useful or not. The annotations must be written in full sentences.

There is NO conclusion for this paper!!
DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!

Read the attached article;’ In the end,there’s no such things as free lunch’
Question: Comment on the statement by the author of the article that;
‘….it’s actually the interest rate on 10years US government bonds that holds the biggest sway in financial markets’.
BRIGHTDAY
INVESTORS are between a
rock and a hard place. Those with fortunes tied to the Big Four banks would no doubt be
feeling a little worse for wear if they care about share prices.
It appears the share market
is readjusting to the expecta- tions interest rates are likely to have stopped falling and will at
some point start rising – led by
As a result many stock mar- ket darlings – not to mention
bond prices – have been sold off sharply. Investors have been left
feeling more unsettled than usual, even in these times of heightened uncertainty. Since April I, a $200,000 portfolio invested evenly
among the Big Four would be $22,000 worse off. In the space
of a few weeks, more than 10
per cent of your investment value has been wiped out. With many self-funded retirees holding the Big Four directly or indirectly (via man- aged funds and other prod- ucts), it’s hard to avoid the nightmare streak of the banks. The rapid-fire sell-off of banks is the symptom of a rise
in long-term interest rates in
the US, mirrored locally. It’s like the US has caught a cold
and Australian investors have
sneezed, repeatedly. While we often focus on the
cash rate set by the RBA be- cause it affects our mortgage repayments and term deposit savings, it’s actually the inter- est rate on 10-year US govern- ment bonds that holds the
biggest sway in financial mar- kets. For the boffins who tell us
what the financial markets are
expected to do, this a bell- wether. When it moves, it tells
you whether economists and market analysts are expecting the economy to strengthen or weaken.
It influences the market’s
expectation for future short- term rates – and therefore
what you pay on your mort- gage. And if the 10-year bond rate moves sharply, you can be
sure that share prices – and other bonds – will move too.
For bonds, higher interest
rates mean lower prices, and vice versa. High-yielding shares, such as the banks and
property trusts, behave in a similar fashion when interest
rates rise – higher rates mean share price declines.These types of shares are extremely sensitive to what happens to long-term interest rates, meaning more uneasy times could lie ahead.
Shares are generally consid- ered more risky than cash and bonds, so investors tend to de- mand a much higher return. When share prices move lower, it means the return you receive considers all of the
risks that you are exposed to, including higher interest rates. Changing interest rates is
part of the normal business cycle and affects asset classes differently at any one point in time. But the problem self- funded retirees now face lies in
the fact they have always pre- ferred investments that pro- vide healthy dividends. (COUNTINUES.. COULDNT TYPE HERE)

Added on 01.05.2016 18:51
It means there is a vast
number of shares they avoid,
and they all cluster around the
same high dividend-paying shares, without balancing out their investments with other
less interest rate-sensitive in- vestments.
They”re after an easy in- come. But, as they say, there”s
no such thing as a free lunch.

Final Exam – Paper
Due: 5/4/16 1:30 pm

Topic: Dig deeper into one of the topics we have discussed in class this semester. This needs to be an intellectual exercise constructing an argument (statement of your position and support for that position). In other words, if you want to investigate an individual or an event we have covered, it cannot be a chronological re-telling of the event or biography of the person. You must move beyond re-telling the story to arguing why it is significant.

You will present your ideas to the class during the Final Exam period.

Paper Directions:

The paper must be an original work, no less than 4 and no more than 5 pages, typed, double-spaced, MLA Formatting (standard margins and 12 pt. Times New Roman or Cambria Font) with a works cited attached. The works cited does not count toward your page limits.

The paper must include no less than four credible outside sources to support your ideas. These must be primary source works by the author or scholarly journal articles or books. You must have at least one primary source. Wikipedia, Dictionaries and encyclopedias are not acceptable as sources here (you may use the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). Avoid typing your topic into a search engine and randomly selecting websites for sources. You will be marked down for this. Evaluate your sources.

You MUST cite your sources in your paper.

Be sure to proofread and spell-check your paper. Academic tone is expected – no first person, eliminate contractions, organization of ideas. Remember, elevate your writing from your speaking.

The Paper will be run through Turnitin.com so you must provide an electronic copy of the paper to adam.sonstroem@arizonachristian.edu on or before 1:30 pm on Wednesday, May 4th. You must also bring a hard copy of the paper to class on the 4th. Failure to attend class on the 4th with a hard copy of the paper will result in a reduced grade for the paper. No late work will be accepted no excuses.

Presentation Directions:
In a 2-3 minute summary, provide an overview of your ideas to the class. This presentation should be prepared ahead of time and not read. You may not just read your paper, but must summarize the main ideas in the allotted time. No visuals (Power Point, Prezi, Keynote) are required due to time constraints, but be prepared to present your ideas.

Failure to attend class during the final exam period will result in a zero for the presentation grade no exceptions. Finals are scheduled Tuesday-Friday this year so be prepared to stay the entire week of finals. Also, late arrival at the final exam period or technology distraction will impact your grade as well.

Point Breakdown: 125 Points Total
