Government Power & Constitutional Limits

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

Government Power & Constitutional Limits

Throughout this course, you will be reading and learning about the various limitations that the U.S. Constitution places upon the power of the government (i.e., law enforcement) to investigate crimes.  Before you truly begin to study these rules it would be interesting to start discussing some of your opinions and reactions to different investigatory practices.  Consider and respond to the following questions.

Government Power & Constitutional Limits

  1. Do you think that the police should be entitled to search through a citizen’s trash for evidence of a crime?  If so, why?  If not, why not?  What limitations do you think the law does or should impose upon the power of the police to use such an investigative practice?
  2. In most instances, the government may be entitled to x-ray the contents of your bags at locations such as airports, schools, courts, train depots, and bus terminals.  However, suppose for a moment that such x-ray technology had become available to police officers on the street in a hand-held device.  Should officers on the street be entitled to x-ray the backpacks, briefcases, purses and other items of citizens on the street?  If so, why?  If not, why not?  What limitations do you think the law does or should impose upon the power of the government (the police) to use such technologies?
  3. If you were responsible for drafting the Constitution of a new country what three limitations do you feel would be the most important to place upon the power of the government to investigate and prosecute crimes or in the punishing of offenders?
  4. \

  • Do you think police should search trash for evidence and why?,

  • What limitations should law impose on trash searches?,

  • Should police use handheld x-ray devices to search citizen belongings and why?,

  • What limitations should exist on handheld x-ray technology?,

  • What three constitutional limitations would you include in a new country?,

Leaders must understand the importance of the brand to business success and sustainability. It is important for you to reflect on the last nine weeks and the relevance of marketing to optimizing a brand. The theme park scenario you have worked on will, someday, not be a purely hypothetical situation to you. You will be faced with real-world crises and challenges. There will be critical roles for marketing and other functional departments to play when they arise.

One of the important factors in your personal success will be how you brand yourself. What do you represent? Why should you be the “go-to” future leader of an organization? Why should you be the first choice as that leader? You are being asked to self-reflect on what you want your personal brand to be.

Personal Brand & Identity

In your initial post, you should address the following questions based on what you learned in this course:

  • What are at least three key course takeaways that resonate with you and that you may use in your current or future workplace? Explain how they resonate with you.
  • When thinking of attributes of an effective leader, what personal brand traits do they appear to possess?
  • Describe your desired personal brand. How can being a lifelong learner help with reaching your desired personal brand image?

QUESTION 2

  • What are the various levels of your social ecosystem? In what ways have they changed in the past 5 or 10 years?
  • If something has changed within your social ecosystem, was it intentional? Or did your social ecosystem change you?
  • How have your relationships with specific aspects of your social ecosystem helped to shape your identity?
  • Do you think people act more based on who they are or based on their group’s behavior? Please provide a specific example to support your position.
  • How does the concept of identity and the group apply to any of the following programmatic course themes:
    • Self-care
    • Social justice
    • Emotional intelligence
    • Career connections
    • Ethics

  • What are at least three key course takeaways that resonate with you and that you may use in your current or future workplace? Explain how they resonate with you,

  • When thinking of attributes of an effective leader, what personal brand traits do they appear to possess?,

  • Describe your desired personal brand. How can being a lifelong learner help with reaching your desired personal brand image?,

  • What are the various levels of your social ecosystem? In what ways have they changed in the past 5 or 10 years?,

WISC-V Stability Study

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

WISC-V Stability Study

Find and read a peer-reviewed research journal article using intelligence or achievement testing in research and share what you learned from this article with your classmates. Specifically (and in your own words):

1. Why was the study conducted?  What hypotheses were being tested?

2. What test(s) were used?

3. What findings were reported, and what conclusions were drawn

WISC-V Stability Study

  • Why was the study conducted? What hypotheses were being tested?,

  • What test(s) were used?,

  • What findings were reported and what conclusions were drawn?

Response (concise, in my own words)

1) Purpose & hypotheses. Watkins et al. (2021) examined the long-term temporal stability of WISC-V scores in a clinical outpatient sample because most published reliability evidence for the WISC-V focuses on short retest intervals or normative samples. The study tested whether WISC-V composite scores (e.g., Full-Scale IQ, index scores) and subtest scores remain sufficiently stable over a multi-year interval (mean ≈ 2.6 years) to support clinical decisions. Implicitly, the authors expected omnibus and broad indices to be more stable than individual subtests or within-person difference (profile/ipsative) measures.

2) Tests used. The researchers administered the ten primary WISC-V subtests on two occasions to 225 children/adolescents seen in an outpatient neuropsychology clinic. From those subtests they derived the five primary index scores and the Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ). Analyses included mean comparisons, test-retest correlations (stability coefficients), and measures of replication for intraindividual (idiographic) score patterns.

3) Findings & conclusions. Mean composite scores were relatively constant, but subtest stability was modest (average r ≈ .66). Only the Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), Visual Spatial Index (VSI), and the FSIQ exceeded the commonly cited 0.80 threshold for long-term stability. Intraindividual difference scores and “profile scatter” showed poor replication across administrations (low kappa), indicating that observed strengths/weaknesses on subtests often did not recur at retest. The authors conclude that while FSIQ and some broad indices may be defensible for nomothetic (between-person) comparisons over years, ipsative/person-relative interpretations (e.g., treating a single subtest peak as a stable strength) are not reliable enough for confident clinical decision-making. Practically, clinicians should rely more on composite scores for long-term high-stakes decisions and be cautious when using subtest/profile differences to guide eligibility or intervention without corroborating evidence or repeat assessment.

Better Listening Skills

  • What do you find most interesting about the skill of listening?
  • Do you agree with Treasure’s warning about the dangers of losing the ability to listen?
  • What listening strategy presented by Treasure, would you like to try?
  • Finally, in light of the assessment, share any personal listening goals you may have to improve your listening skills.

Better Listening Skills

Be sure to respond to at least 2 others as well.

As a reminder, always connect to a scholarly source.

As a note, integrating a scholarly source for this post should go beyond mentioning the TED Talk. Aim for full credit and connect to a scholarly source beyond the TED Talk to show how the discussion ties to your studies in the course.

Incorporate material found in the unit presentations, the textbook, or other professional academic resources. Remember to cite sources appropriately.

  • What do you find most interesting about the skill of listening?,

  • Do you agree with Treasure’s warning about the dangers of losing the ability to listen?,

  • What listening strategy presented by Treasure, would you like to try?,

  • Finally, in light of the assessment share any personal listening goals you may have to improve your listening skills.

Comprehensive Response (APA-7 cited | ~250 words)

The most interesting aspect of listening is that it is an active skill rather than a passive one. Julian Treasure (TEDGlobal, 2011) emphasizes that intentional listening shapes our understanding of the world and strengthens human connection. Listening requires cognitive engagement, empathy, and presence—making it a fundamental component of effective communication in both personal and professional settings.

I strongly agree with Treasure’s warning about the dangers of losing our ability to listen. With digital distractions, constant noise, and fast communication platforms, our capacity to focus and process meaningfully is diminishing. Poor listening can negatively affect relationships, workplace collaboration, and even safety in fields such as healthcare and education. Research shows that effective listening improves relational satisfaction and reduces miscommunication (Weger et al., 2014), highlighting why Treasure’s concern is valid.

One listening strategy presented by Treasure that I would like to try is the “RASA” technique: Receive, Appreciate, Summarize, Ask. This approach encourages being fully present, providing acknowledgment, and confirming understanding—skills that support active and empathetic listening.

After completing the listening assessment, I recognized the need to improve my patience and attentiveness, especially when conversations are long or complex. My goal is to reduce distractions—like phones—and practice summarizing what I hear to strengthen retention and demonstrate engagement. By applying these strategies, I can become a more mindful, respectful, and effective communicator.

Unbanked/Underbanked Report

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

Unbanked/Underbanked Report

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) conducts frequent surveys to understand the unbanked and underbanked situation in the U.S. In this assignment, we will use the 2023 FDIC National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households. It is the most recent survey conducted by the FDIC focusing on the unbanked and underbanked situation in the U.S. The data has been cleaned and prepared in Excel format for our analysis. Each row in the spreadsheet contains information collected from one household. There are a total of 29,483 households included in the dataset. It is important to note that not all households carry the same weight in our analysis. Due to the sampling design, each household has a weight, and the weight (as opposed to count) will be used to calculate the proportions and statistics. To keep the scope of the assignment manageable, not all data from the FDIC survey have been included. The original data, dictionary, and survey questions can be found on the FDIC official website. Survey data from earlier years are also available.

Unbanked/Underbanked Report

Assignment Questions

What is the proportion of unbanked and underbanked households in the U.S.? (6 points)

How do the unbanked and underbanked situations compare across different states? To answer this question, please create two separate visualizations for: (20 points) a. The proportion of the unbanked population in different states b. The proportion of the underbanked population in different states

What proportion of the unbanked individuals were previously banked? (6 points)

What are the main reasons people become or choose to be unbanked? (6 points)

How does the unbanked and underbanked proportion differ for different: (6 points each, total 42 points) a. Household type b. Employment status c. Education d. Citizenship and place of birth e. Disability status f. Income g. Race/Ethnicity

How do the unbanked, underbanked, and banked differ in their use of the following alternative financial services (AFS)? (6 points each, total 48 points) a. Nonbank check cashing b. Nonbank money order c. Payday loan d. Pawnshop loan e. Refund anticipation loan f. Rent-to-own service g. Auto title loan h. Prepaid card

7. How do the unbanked, underbanked, and banked differ in their home ownership? (6 points)

8. In question 6 above, we looked at how each AFS is used. In this question, let’s explore what proportion of unbanked, banked, and underbanked households used at least one of the AFS services. (10 points)

9. What are the takeaway messages from your analyses above? Please describe the current landscape of unbanked and underbanked. (6 points)

Deliverables

There are two deliverables for this assignment: 1. The completed Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (based on the template with finished calculations) – For each question and sub-question except for questions 2 and 9, please include a pivot table. – For question 5, you will need one pivot table for each category (e.g., household type, employment status, etc.). – For question 2, creating one pivot table is sufficient, but you must include two separate visualizations for unbanked and underbanked proportions across different states. – Question 9 asks for your takeaway messages and does not need to be reflected in your spreadsheet. 2. A professionally organized 3–6 page report that answers the questions above. – Organize your report as responses to each of the questions. – Focus on findings and insights; do not include technical details or calculation steps. – For questions 1–8, include: • The calculation results (percentages, tables, or visualizations). • Your interpretation of the results (e.g., whether it is high/low, implications for households, organizations, and governments). – For question 9, you’ll be graded on the quality of your summary. Please adhere to the page limit and refrain from including unnecessary details. For example, referencing the percentage value is sufficient — there’s no need to paste entire pivot tables since your Excel file will include them. File Naming: • Excel: [FirstName] [LastName] Assignment 1 Analysis.xlsx • Report (PDF): [FirstName] [LastName] Assignment 1 Report.pdf Please note that you are required to use Microsoft Excel to complete this assignment. Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, or other spreadsheet applications are not acceptable.

Download the Template

Download the Excel Template: “Assignment 1 FDIC2023 Clean Unbanked Underbanked Banked Template.xlsx” as the basis for your assignment. Each row in the sheet represents one household. The columns describe household information, including unbanked status, state, family income, etc. Some columns have empty cells. Empty cells represent missing or non-applicable values (e.g., the “main reason unbanked” field for fully banked participants). Consider and exclude these when appropriate during your analysis.

Instruction and Demonstration Video

Please visit the course website for the Assignment 1 demonstration video. The analysis will primarily use Pivot Tables. IMPORTANT: Dummy data is used in the demonstration video. Your actual analysis will produce different numbers. The data provided to you is the real, official FDIC dataset — your conclusions will reflect the most up-to-date understanding of the unbanked and underbanked landscape in the U.S.

Career & Mental Health

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

Career & Mental Health

Explore the intersections between career counseling and mental health counseling. The goal is to articulate why career development is not just a “vocational issue,” but also a central component of emotional well-being, identity, and life satisfaction. In your assignment, you must answer the following:

Career & Mental Health

  • Explain why career counseling is an essential component of mental health counseling.
  • Provide at least two examples of how career issues can manifest as or exacerbate mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, low self-esteem).
  • Integrate at least one theory (e.g., Super’s Life-Span Life-Space, Holland’s Theory, Cognitive Information Processing) to support your explanation.
  • Conclude with how you plan to incorporate career counseling into your future practice, regardless of your primary clinical setting.

You must include at least 3 resources, one of which can be your textbook, but does not have to be. You also must write in in APA format (times new roman font, 12 inch font, double spaced, 1 inch margins, title page, references page). 3-4 pages written in list format will not be accepted. This assignment must be written in narrative format.Career & Mental Health

• Why is career counseling an essential component of mental health counseling?,
• How can career issues manifest as or exacerbate mental health concerns?,
• What are at least two examples of career issues affecting mental health?,
• What theory supports the connection between career development and well-being?,
• How will you incorporate career counseling into future practice?

Career Counseling and Mental Health Counseling: An Integrated Perspective

Career counseling is a vital component of mental health counseling because an individual’s career is closely tied to identity, self-worth, and life satisfaction. Work affects financial security, social connection, purpose, and daily functioning. When a person struggles with career uncertainty or workplace dissatisfaction, emotional well-being is significantly impacted. Mental health counselors must therefore address career-related concerns as part of the whole person, recognizing that career development is not simply vocational guidance but a core factor shaping psychological health.

Career issues can directly contribute to mental health symptoms. For example, unemployment or job insecurity often leads to anxiety, financial stress, and diminished self-esteem. Likewise, working in a role that does not align with personal strengths or values can produce depression, burnout, and a sense of identity conflict. Students and emerging professionals commonly experience pressure to choose a “correct” career path, leading to fear of failure and chronic stress. These examples illustrate how career challenges are interwoven with emotional functioning and require therapeutic attention.

Super’s Life-Span, Life-Space Theory provides a valuable framework for understanding this connection. Super emphasizes that career development unfolds across life stages and is influenced by self-concept, roles, and life circumstances (Super, 1990). When developmental tasks such as career exploration or role transitions are disrupted, psychological distress may surface. His model reinforces the need for counselors to support clients’ evolving identities in both work and personal life domains.

As a future practitioner, I intend to incorporate career counseling regardless of my clinical setting by routinely assessing clients’ work satisfaction, career goals, strengths, and environmental barriers. I will utilize evidence-based career assessments, provide guidance on occupational decision-making, and collaborate with clients on realistic career action plans. Integrating career and mental health services allows for more holistic care and better outcomes, supporting clients in achieving both emotional well-being and meaningful life direction.
