Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51, 541-554.

The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.

Module 04 Written Assignment – Compare and Contrast Two News Pieces

/in /by

 

Coverage by of the news is not carried out by any monolithic  organization that gets to decide what is, and is not, the correct way to  report the news. Today perhaps more than ever, the editorial or opinion  piece of the news is more apparent and widespread than it had been in  the decades before cable news, 24-hour-news cycles, and the rise of the  Internet as a news source. This does not necessarily mean that the news  has become any less impartial, simply that news organizations are more  conscious of markets and demographics, the people they are trying to  attract, than ever before.

For your assignment this week, find two articles that address the  same issue produced by two different news sources (this cannot be the  same AP story published by different sources). In 1-2 pages, provide a  summary of what message each writer is trying to get across, and provide  a brief compare and contrast analysis of the two pieces. Explain which  piece you feel is more effective and why. Be sure to include links for  each article in your assignment.

Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please  remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename.) The name of  the file should be your first initial and last name, followed by an  underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the  date. An example is shown below

What are your thoughts?

According to Beeler et al. (2019), despite the studies to show effectiveness in port disinfection in reducing CLASBI the consistent use of this practice is not being implemented. The article shows that when nurses were given proper education on the use and importance with consistent data to show decrease in numbers as they put into practice, the use of caps was increased and CLASBI decreased. This means that many units likely carry the product and tell nurses to use, but there is no follow-through plan to ensure it’s being used, which seems like a waste of resources all the way around.

Leadership

/in /by

Assignment: Personal Leadership Philosophies

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.

What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.

What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.

To Prepare: Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments. Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review. Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.

The Assignment (2-3 pages):

Personal Leadership Philosophies

Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following: A description of your core values A personal mission/vision statement An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples. Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.
