Culture Journal

Culture Journal. In this assignment you are asked to author a self-reflexive journal about how the culture you are immersed in affects you. This requires you to examine your daily routines in a new light, adopting the point of view of a foreigner for whom many of your actions and words would be puzzling.

As you live your normal everyday life, try to make notes (mental or otherwise) of any normal actions, expressions, and habits that would be strange, maybe even inappropriate to someone not familiar with your culture. This may include also reflecting on your cultural heritage or context and how it influences you. As a goal, try to make one of these notes a day.

Periodically (I recommend weekly but the minimum frequency due will be approximately every other week), write your notes and reflections down on a Google doc or word document. The syllabus has detailed rubrics, but plan for approximately 2 (double spaced) pages of content per submission. The journal entries are the periodic summary of your normal life experience, and thus should not be hard to create. The difficult part is the switch in mindset!
That’s it! Your cultural journal has two separate submissions due throughout the course. As your submission, upload your same Google doc link each time, or upload a new word document each time.

The format of this assignment can be very informal and relatively unstructured (like a real journal), but you will be graded on your ability to recognize your own culture’s influence over your life. Bullet points format is acceptable, but full sentences and some depth of explanation is required.

I live in Indian culture in vegetarian family. I am Hindu.

I have attached the rubrics and culture entry 1 below. Culture entry should be used in order.

Chief Johnson – Discussion Post

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Chief Johnson – Discussion Post

Bay Harbor has a midsized police department of around 70 officers, including two captains, four lieutenants, and a number of sergeants. It is among the most well-known police departments in the state, mainly due to its progressive chief, Bill Murray. He is so popular that when he took early retirement three months ago, he successfully ran for the position of mayor.

When Murray was chief, the department had a friendly and accessible image among the citizens. He encouraged informal interaction between department employees and the public, and he streamlined department procedures to cut down on bureaucracy and empower employees. All officers, especially his favorite ones, enjoyed considerable professional latitude under him. Murray, in return, was assured of their loyalty and commitment to the team. The department appeared to be well run, with high levels of employee satisfaction, but it was only moderately successful in controlling crime.

Murray’s designated successor, Chief Tim Johnson, came from nearby Meadow Pines, where there was a much smaller department of only 13 officers. Yet, under him, Meadow Pines had the lowest crime rate ever. He is known as a strong authority figure in Meadow Pines. He reinforces that image by involving himself in every departmental decision and implementing rules with an iron hand. He monitors his officers closely, and they have to seek his clearance for almost all actions, except those that arise in an emergency.

Like Murray, Johnson drove considerable policy changes as the chief of Meadow Pines; however, he rarely requested any employee feedback on the revisions. Generally, these policy changes were designed to increase supervisory control and formalize the department’s procedural guidelines. This resulted in a more bureaucratic structure. Although Johnson does not appear to be as popular as Murray was, he is respected by his subordinates and by the public for lowering his community’s crime rate.

Chief Johnson – Discussion Post. Many members of the hiring committee believe that Chief Johnson’s stern nature will make Bay Harbor more efficient. Other members disagree and feel that his style of functioning might not work in a larger department. They also fear that citizen satisfaction with the department will decrease and that some of the more experienced officers may leave the Bay Harbor department because they do not like Johnson’s leadership style.

Can the leader-member exchange (LMX) theory be used to describe the relationship that Murray and Johnson shared with their subordinates? Why or why not?
What are the potential benefits and pitfalls of hiring someone with Chief Johnson’s style for the position at Bay Harbor? Why?
What could be reasons for Chief Johnson’s lack of delegation? Which approach should he use to delegate and empower officers at Bay Harbor?
Is participative leadership more effective depending on the size of the department? Why? How does Murray’s delegation and empowerment of his subordinates benefit a police department?
What principles of relationships should Johnson use for correcting performance deficiencies at Bay Harbor? Why? Use APA referencing style.

Clinical Personality Assessment.

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Clinical Personality Assessment.

Clinical personality assessments can only be completed and interpreted by a licensed psychologist who is trained in testing and assessments. Personality testing is usually done as a part of a larger battery of psychological assessment. An individual or even several personality tests would not be administered in isolation without the supporting evidence from other testing and interviews. This week you will become familiar with some of the main personality testing instruments.

Philosophy

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Philosophy

Book IX, Chapter 8 of Nicomachean Ethics Page (146- In 148), Aristotle discusses two conceptions of self-love or selfishness. There is a common view of self-love or selfishness which he initially considers to be somewhat plausible, but after further analysis rejects as mistaken. He then describes another, more fundamental view of self-love or selfishness which he thinks is the correct one.

Describe the two conceptions of self-love or selfishness that Aristotle discusses. What role do reason and virtue play in each conception? What is Aristotle’s ethical evaluation of each conception? Do Aristotle’s views on what he considers to be the fundamental, properly understood nature self-love and selfishness challenge modern notions about this subject.
