Consultation Dialogue in Action Research Discussion Writing Assignment Help

1. In this week’s Task you will explore prejudice and discrimination.

Read the chapter on Prejudice, Discrimination and Stereotyping in Together: The Science of Social Psychology.

Conduct a search, (e.g., YouTube or Ted Talk) to find at least four videos on the topic of prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination.

Using the videos you chose, develop working definitions of prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination.

Remember the The Implicit Association Test (IAT) from Week 7? This week we’re going to revisit the site but choose a different set of tests to explore! Choose three different biases you might want to take a look at and take the test associated with them.

1. Write one paragraph for each term defining prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination. Describe how these may have shown up for you during your implicit bias tests! PLEASE BE SPECIFIC!

2. Write a 300-500 word paper discussing:

a. the etiology of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination

b. how bias has changed over the years

c. what you might recommend for how prejudice and biases can be improved

2. In this week’s Lesson you will further explore prejudice and discrimination.

Review the PowerPoint on Prejudice and Discrimination

Reflect on your choices of IAT tests and your scores. Discuss them with a friend, family member, or colleague.

Watch the videos:

A – 500 Words

• Define the whole system approach and why it is so important to organizations.
• Explain your rationale and support with literature by citing 3 scholarly references in APA style.
• How might you use this approach in the discovery phase with your client?

B – 5 pages

You have either started collecting data with the client organization or you will start collecting it soon. Respond to the following questions:

• What ways have you started to collect data? Discuss your initial analysis.
• Why was this approach selected?
• What is the presenting problem, and what are the underlying problems that you are uncovering?

1. In 500 words or more (no less), explain how one might apply the meta-ethics of Divine Command Theory to an egoist theory, a consequentialist theory, and a deontological theory.

You may use examples, but you will still need to include a full scholarly definition of each, with commentary. You may use any scholarly source other than a dictionary, to include online video lectures. You may use Wikipedia as a starting point, but be aware that Wikipedia is not a scholarly source and therefore can never be quoted in your paper. You will need to include inline citations in your essay (last name, date, pg#) and must cite any sources in the reference list of your essay. If you include an inline citation, there must be a corresponding entry in the reference list and vice versa. You can find tools and examples of APA citation formats at the Purdue University Online Writing Lab.

2. For this assignment, you must only cite scholarly philosophical works***

The American Psychological Association (APA) created a formal guide for exactly how to format your bibliography so that it is useful to a reader who wants to follow your line of reasoning. This is extremely important in academic work because it shows that you performed your due diligence and proper research before setting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard as the case may be). Annotations to a bibliography are short summaries of the content of the work. For this assignment, you are specifically showing me that you actually read the article, book chapter, or whatever else by doing these summaries. Each annotation needs to be long enough to convey confidence that you know what’s going on; about 100 words or so should do it.

Your bibliography must include 5 citations and their associated annotations. Each combined citation/annotation entry is worth 20 points. These points are based on your proper formatting of the citation, inclusion of all necessary elements, proper selection of a scholarly work, and reasonable and understandable annotation write-up.

There are strictly four parts to every bibliographic entry, though each of these can be broken down further. Still, if you remember these four elements, you won’t have much trouble and you will always be pretty close.

Author (formatted as last name, first initial, middle initial). Date (formatted as the year of publication set in parenthesis). Title (for title formatting rule, visit this site). Retrieval Information (usually the publishing house or website)

If you include all four of these elements, then your citation will almost certainly be close enough the your reader can follow along. For the purpose of this class though, you need to adhere strictly to the APA format guidelines. Follow the link to the Purdue OWL for more information.

TURNITIN SCORE MUST BE AT OR BELOW 20%…as I will be checking

APA FORMAT PLEASE with use of Quotations…citeing accordingly

from the test publisher’s website used. The notes section of each slide
must include the text for oral comments you would make while presenting
the materials to a live audience.

• Qualifications of the test user
• Common professional uses of the test
• Explain
  what the test is purported to measure along with any reliability and
  validity evidence that supports the author’s or publisher’s claims.
• Describe
  the appropriate applications of the test in terms of the population(s)
  on which the test is validated (including age ranges) and any
  information regarding populations for which the test’s use is not
  recommended.
• Subtest names and brief descriptions
• Administration and scoring procedures
• Cost and administration time
• Your
  critique of the instrument, including an evaluation of the test’s
  strengths and weaknesses as a measure of the theoretical constructs of
  intelligence and/or achievement

  from at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article published in
  the last 10 years that provides an appraisal of basic measurement issues
  related to the tests you selected.
