I have an assignment due on Sunday. The assignment is to write about an article. The teacher provided us with 6 articles and we have to chose one and write about it. I will provide you with all the articles and the sample letter with the instructions.

Teacher’s instructions:

I’ve attached an article from the San Francisco Gate. If I was using this article to write an article assignment, here is an outline of what the assignment would look like:

The first paragraph would be a summary of the article. I’d talk about the way Apple is trying to keep the term iPad from becoming genericized. I’d explain what that means and what are the consequences of a trademark becoming genericized. My next sentence(s) would talk about a couple of examples, such as aspirin and how other companies such as Xerox fought against genericization.

My next paragraph would hold the analysis for this assignment. I’d be focusing on the chapter about Intellectual Property and would cite that chapter. I’d define a trademark (citing the page) and what it means if a company holds a trademark. Next, I would take the facts of aspirin and show how there can be no lawsuit if another company uses the word aspirin and would contrast that with what Xerox and Apple are doing to protect their trademarks. My concluding sentence would definitely indicate that this is about millions of dollars and whatever else seems appropriate.

I hope this helps, MS

P.S. No, you may not use this article in your assignment 🙂

I have included a 4 articles to chose one and I also added a sample article too.

everything has been explained in the attachment,

LAB OUTLINE FOR ASSIGNMENTS

Afternoon, Each Lab assignment should follow the basic outline below. Be sure to type your assignment and have it stapled and in order, upon arrival to the following class. If you have purchased the Lab Manual, you do not have to type your data if you are turning in pages from your manual along with the other typed sections of your assignment. Remember for Lab 1 (Excel), you are copying/pasting your spreadsheets into your word document under Data instead of using a chart/table as in the other labs that follow. (Another reminder, for Lab 1, Data will consist of Exercise 1 and 2 spreadsheets, while Analysis will only consist of Homework Exercise 1 questions a-d.)

Outline is as follows:

Cover sheet (front page)

– title of Lab

– class/ section

– Your Name

– Professor’s Name

Introduction (next page)

– Summary in your own words of the Theory/Introduction of Lab

Data (If you have the Lab manual, you may hand-write answers as long as they are legible)

– chart/ table/ excel spreadsheet

– calculations (if any)

Analysis

– Questions (either type the answers in complete sentences or type the Question with the answer below it)

Assignment: Application: Systems Theory

As noted in the Learning Resources, systems theory provides a meaningful and beneficial means of examining challenges in health care organizations. To do this effectively, however, it is essential to assess all system components, as some may be relatively healthy while others are problematic.

For this Assignment, you apply systems theory to the examination of a problem in a department or a unit within a health care organization. (Note: You may use the same problem you identified for the Discussion as long as it meets the criteria for this assignment.)

To prepare:

• Review the Meyer article, “Nursing Services Delivery Theory: An Open System Approach,” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus especially on the information presented in Table 1 (p. 2831) and Figure 2 (p. 2833).
• Reflect on your organization or one with which you are familiar. Within a particular department or unit in this organization, identify a problem the staff is encountering.
• Using Table 1 in the Meyer article as a guide, analyze the department or unit, identifying inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback. Consider whether the problem you have selected relates to input, throughput, output, cycles of events, and/or negative feedback.
• Think about how you could address the problem: Consider what a desired outcome would be, then formulate related goals and objectives, and translate those goals into policies and procedures.
• Research professional standards that are pertinent to your identified problem.
• Reflect on the organization’s mission statement and values. In addition, consider how addressing this problem would uphold the mission and values, while improving the organizational culture and climate. (Depending on the organization you have selected, you may have explored these in the Week 1 Discussion.)

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

• Describe a department or unit within a health care organization using systems theory terminology. Include a description of inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback.
• Describe the problem you identified within the department or unit using an open- systems approach, and state where the problem exists using the systems theory model (input, throughput, output, cycles of events, or negative feedback).
• Based on this information, explain how you would address the problem as follows:
  • Formulate a desired outcome.
  • Identify goals and objectives that would facilitate that outcome.
  • Translate those goals and objectives into policies and procedures for the department or unit.
  • Describe relevant professional standards.
• Explain how your proposed resolution to the problem would uphold the organization’s mission and values and improve the culture and climate.

In the field of human services, it’s not uncommon to work with clients who are encountering a range of challenges that arouse feelings of sadness, anger, and frustration. Would you know how to engage appropriately with a client under such conditions? In this second discussion, you will identify and reflect on various elements related to conveying effective messages to clients.

Read Chapters 7 and Chapter 8 of The Interpersonal Communication Book and review the following five human service career paths from the Human Service Careers (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. video:

• Early Child Development & Services (03:01)
• Counseling and Mental Health Services (04:17)
• Family & Community Services (07:00)
• Personal Care Services (03:54)
• Consumer Services (04:11)

Initial Post: Imagine that you are a human service professional working in a career path that is different from the one you selected in the first discussion forum and prepare a reply that sufficiently addresses each of the items below,. Don’t forget that it is critical to cite your sources of information, including the textbook, using APA formatting.

• What are some ways in which effective means of emotional expression is used to engage with a client experiencing a problem (e.g., loss of job, homelessness, health concerns, etc.)?
• Identify empathy skills in interpersonal and group settings (e.g., one-on-one client interaction, facilitating a group session, etc.) that you might use as a human services professional.
• Describe one communication theory (i.e., constructivist, attachment, communication accommodation, attribution) that can apply to this situation as it relates to communicating messages (e.g., how messages are communicated, processes related to communicating messages, etc..). See Week One’s required website readings.
• Under what conditions might you, as a human service professional, use self-disclosure as a means of interacting with clients? Would it be appropriate or inappropriate in this specific situation? Why or why not?
