Paper 2 which revolves around another topic. mini paper #2. his feedback
from the last paper was this, “I appreciated the outline and effort
that went into your first mini paper. There are a few technical
components that can make your paper much stronger. Try to minimize your
use of quotes to no more than two sentences. Look at your outside quotes
and textbook quotes together and determine if they compliment each
other, at times I could not determine the connection. Finally, have a
look at your APA citations. Not all of your quotes were identified, and
the period belongs outside of the parentheses (Barker, 2020).
Nonetheless, this was a strong first mini paper. ” I got an 85%.

Competency

Analyze the evolution of social media standards and practices and how it relates to the potential need for regulation of social media, along with ethical concerns.

Instructions

Many people get all or most of their news from social media. For this project, we are going to be analyzing the content of several social media sites from major news sources, paying particular attention to social media standards, practices, and regulation.

Where do you get your news? Start by going to one major news site’s FACEBOOK page (CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc.) Try another different news site’s TWITTER feed, and third choose another social media site such as Reddit, Pinterest, or another (preferably one you use, if there is one).

Analyze the sites in a 3-5 page total paper. In your analysis, be sure to include the following:

• General introduction to your thoughts on the social media you studied
• Several social media practices you observed (e.g., what gets the most interaction?)
• Examples of regulation of social media and discussion of such regulation (Is it good, bad, or indifferent? How could circumstances change the situation?)
• Analysis of ethical concerns (e.g., can you see examples of bias?)
• What is the culture of each site – how do users seem to respond to questionable items? (Is racism or open mocking ignored or pursued?)
• Conclusion of your findings

The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and develop a health promotion that can be presented to caregivers.

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional slide for references at the end.

In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored.

Include the following in your presentation:

• Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants.
• Create a health promotion plan that can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
• Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants.
• Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At least three scholarly resources are required. Two of the three resources must be peer-reviewed and no more than 6 years old.
• Provide readers with two community resources, a national resource, and a Web-based resource. Include a brief description and contact information for each resource.

Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.

Refer to the resource, “Loom,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on recording your presentation.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide.

Topic: Case Study on Death and Dying

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and understanding of a diversity of faith expressions; for the purpose of this course, the focus will be on the Christian worldview.

Based on “Case Study: End of Life Decisions,” the Christian worldview, and the worldview questions presented in the required topic study materials you will complete an ethical analysis of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the Christian worldview.

Provide a 1,500-2,000-word ethical analysis while answering the following questions:

• How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the fallenness of the world?
• How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?
• As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform his view about the value of his life as a person?
• What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
• Given the above, what options would be morally justified in the Christian worldview for George and why?
• Based on your worldview, what decision would you make if you were in George’s situation?

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is required.

Understanding the Value of Qualitative Research

[WLOs: 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 9: Qualitative Methods, watch the Week 3 Assignment video,

and read the following resources on Dr. Loïc Wacquant’s research:

• “Habitus as Topic and Tool: Reflections on Becoming a Prizefighter”
• “A Fleshpeddler at Work: Power, Pain, and Profit in the Prizefighting Economy”

• A Professor Who Refuses To Pull His Punches (Links to an external site.)
• Boxing Proves a Hit for French Sociologist (Links to an external site.)

An important part of analyzing research approaches includes understanding the positive and negative aspects of varied forms of social research. Ethnography as an approach allows a researcher to immerse in a unique social world in order to experience the lives of those who live there. The most intriguing aspects of this type of qualitative research is how the researcher maintains an ethical and neutral stance, how the experience can impact them, and how they use the experience for positive social change.

In your paper, you will present the benefits of ethnographical research in terms of understanding a unique social world, as well as understanding the qualitative researcher’s role in performing and reporting on ethnographic research. You will do this through the resources provided, your own research of immersive ethnographical approaches, and also through critiquing Dr. Loïc Wacquant’s work.

In your paper, include the following sections/components:

Role of Researcher (One to two pages)

• Explain the researcher’s role in qualitative research in general and specifically in an ethnographic approach.

• Determine whether or not Wacquant maintained an ethical and neutral stance.
• Justify the research approach Wacquant chose to take.
• Explain whether or not this could have been possible with a quantitative research study.

Impact of Research (One page)

• Discuss how qualitative research and, in particular, ethnographic research, can inform our understanding of unique social worlds.
