Your Practicum and Systems-Thinking Tools

You have been exposed to various systems-thinking and building tools used in public health delivery, prevention, evaluation, and measurement, including GIS mapping, statistical software systems such as SPSS, SWOT analysis, GAP analysis, and logic models. Think of a specific example in which your practicum site used a systems-thinking tool to address a public health issue and respond to the following:

• Describe how the tool allows the practicum site to address a public health issue in the community.
• Analyze, using the chosen systems-thinking tool, how the practicum site influences the community’s health behaviors to address health disparities or public health concerns.
• Discuss, based on your knowledge of the public health issues and systems-building tools, whether you would have chosen a different tool to address the issue or used the one selected. Substantiate your response with evidence from the literature.

Assignment 08: Term Paper: Legal Analysis and Conclusion

Assignment

 Task: Submit to complete this assignment

This week we continue the process of drafting your term paper. We have chosen a topic, built a reference list, and have begun writing the body by drafting an introduction and factual background for the topic. This week, we take the next step by thoughtfully analyzing the legal issues in the case or issue.

Directions

Write an analysis section for your paper that includes:

.an identification of pertinent legal issues and an explanation of those issues. 

.examination of all sides of the argument, giving voice to any opposing views. Be sure to even-handedly and dispassionately present both sides of any controversial issues. 

.examination of how any issues have been resolved by the courts, legislatures, or other decision-makers. Fully explain what decisions have been reached and the reasoning used to reach them.

Following the analysis, write a strong conclusion. What can we learn from examining your topic? What can we do better? How can we make the world a better place? Your entire paper should be building toward your thesis (conclusion), building a logical structure that will support your analysis and lead the reader inevitably toward your conclusion.

Your draft should be 2-4 pages long, and much more than just an outline. A draft should look very close to a complete version of your paper. Write in complete sentences and paragraphs, making the draft as thorough as you can. Your instructor will give you feedback on your paper to help you make it better before the final draft. The more you submit now, the more guidance you will receive, and the less work you will have to do before turning in the final paper.

Submit this assignment to the dropbox “Assignment 08: Term Paper: Legal Analysis and Conclusion.” This assignment is worth 40 points and will be graded according to the scoring guide below.

HELPFUL HINTS

.While you must dispassionately present all sides of an argument, analysis also presents you with the opportunity to begin forming your own opinions. Begin asking if the solutions to these issues that have been found are the best solutions. Is there a better way? What are the other options? Are they better or worse, and why?

.Remember that you are writing a formal academic paper.That means it is not a place for personal feelings or anecdotes. This essay is formal academic writing—the same style you would expect in a professional, peer-reviewed journal. You should never write in first-person—no use of I, me, my, etc. State the facts, cite a source, and keep writing.

.Cite sources in APA parenthetical format as you write. You must back up anything that isn’t common knowledge with a citation to a source. You should average about one source citation per paragraph of content.

.Make sure your margins, page number headings, line spacing, and so forth are in APA format. It is much easier to start out in APA format than try to fix it later. Use the LibGuide to help you if you are unfamiliar with APA.

Re: Topic 3 DQ 1

The fundamental principle of servant leadership is primarily founded on the concept of service to followers. Servant leaders “seek to build their followers” by providing support and guidance in order to achieve the mission of the organization. “The servant leader has initial and primary focus to serve, which is then followed by the desire to lead” (GCU, 2018). They think about the welfare and success of the community they lead. Gandolfi & Stone (2018) noted that the difference between servant leadership and other leader-centered styles of leadership is that servant leaders consider the success of their followers first and then followed by the mission whilst the others seek to achieve the mission before the welfare of followers are considered.

Servant leaders possess several qualities including active listening and foresight. According to GCU (2018), “communication begins with listening” and servant leaders are good listeners. They pay attention to what their followers say through their words or actions and carefully factor it in their decisions to ensure success for the group. Again, leaders who practice servant leadership also have foresight. They are able to anticipate future outcomes and plan accordingly. Foresight helps leaders to “make conscious ethical decisions” (GCU, 2018).

The qualities of active listening and foresight are needed by servant leaders in patient care delivery. These qualities allow for inter-professional communication and collective decision-making in patient care.

Nurse leaders are armed with the knowledge and power to influence the team around them. Leaders maintain a performance driven culture that includes a sense of purpose, open communication, trust and mutual respect, shared leadership, effective working procedures, building on differences, flexibility and adaptability, and continuous learning (Neumann, 2014).  To maintain this culture, servant nurse leaders employ several characteristics that develop and support high performance. They strive to foresee how they can best serve the community, build meaningful relationships, and optimize patient care and satisfaction. This is especially important in health care, where change is constant and a necessary part of continuous improvement.  The quality of services that nurses provide to the community and to clients in any institutional setting is often dependent on their own interpretation of how they feel valued. This said, the servant nurse leader has an opportunity to directly affect services provided by engaging and building relationships with the nurses they serve.

Empathy:

1. Understanding and sharing the feelings of followers allows servant leaders to be placed in a position at the level of those followers. Servant leaders are further able to identify the characteristics that make each individual unique and provide them with the ability to understand how best to support and lead their followers to achieve success in the mission. While the leaders may not always accept the performance or actions of followers, the leader always accepts each follower as an individual.
2. Listening: Communication begins with listening. Servant leaders have an innate ability to hear what others are saying through both verbal and nonverbal communication and reflect upon what they hear to lead a group to its full potential.

Instructions
As we learned in Week 1, there is a difference between being educated and simply trained. The purpose of education is not only to determine what someone can do, but also what kind of person they become as a result of their education. Studies in the humanities will advance the communication skills, empathy, self-awareness, judgment, and professionalism of students, and they help students with becoming skilled at the social and cultural context of working with people.

In addition, studying the humanities can help students in the following ways:

• Literature can introduce students to life situations with which they may not be familiar.
• Drama can teach oral communication.
• Philosophy can teach skills of analysis and argument.
• Art, literature, drama. and music are expressions of human creativity, and taking part in some form of artistic activity, either as reader or viewer, is part of what makes us human.

For this assignment, choose a work of art that made an impression on you during this course. Then, address the following:

• Include an image of or link to the work.
• Identify the artist, the title, date completed, and the medium.
• Explain how learning about the work will help you in your life and career. Consider the context in which the work was created and the meaning of the work.
• Explain how one or more specific disciplines (literature, drama, philosophy, art, music) influenced you.
• Examine the effect that you think this class could have on your career and personal life.

Writing Requirements (APA format)

• Length: 2-2.5 pages (not including title page or references page)
• 1-inch margins
• Double spaced
• 12-point Times New Roman font
• Title page
