Social Media and Depression

Foundations: Social Media and Depression

Scholarly Sources and the Walden Library

Scholarly information comes from a wide variety of sources including academic books, encyclopedias, handbooks, and journals. “Scholarly” is a broad term for publications written by and for researchers and scholars. These publications are typically not found in your local bookstore or public library because they are written for a very specific audience. They are mostly available in university and specialized libraries, not freely available online. This is why it is essential to learn to navigate the Walden Library and use it often! Social Media and Depression

During your time at Walden, you will be focusing on peer reviewed journal articles, a specific type of scholarly publication that goes through a specialized review process. These types of articles may report on original research or review the work of other researchers. Social Media and Depression,

As you use the Walden Library to search the peer reviewed literature to support your discussion posts and assignments it is important to understand how the Library is organized., Most modern libraries make their materials available electronically through searchable databases., Here in the Walden Library you have access to specialized academic databases many of which are specific to psychology and the social and behavioral sciences. Social Media and Depression,

As part of this week’s Discussion you will explore the databases in the Walden Library and compare and contrast peer reviewed articles found in these databases to those found online. Social Media and Depression,

PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

By Academic Wizard Blog

PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

This assignment will be very similar to the Research Paper Assignments completed in this course. However, it is our desire that not only do you become a great researcher, but you also become an “expert of the presentation.” When you earn your PhD, you may find yourself in a teaching role. In fact, maybe you will be teaching Transnational Organized Crime! This series of PowerPoint presentations will be a great start in your class preparation. In this assignment you analyze organized crime in various countries and reduce your analysis to a PowerPoint with speaker notes. You will truly be an international criminal. The “crime” committed can be of your choosing as long as it is illegal in the country we are studying. You will find that this very deep dive into the criminal justice systems of each country we study will help you become a world criminal justice system expert. PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

Instructions

These are minimum guidelines – you may expand the topics covered in your PowerPoint – keep the quality at a doctoral level.

1. Analyze the nature of organized crime in the assigned area (you may narrow the scope of your analysis through your introduction if needed),

1. Analyze the impact of organized crime in the assigned area on the government,

1. Briefly propose policies that may be helpful in mitigating organized crime in the assigned area,

1. A Holy Bible comparison/analysis of the nature of the organized crime system the impact on the country or your proposed policy to mitigate the system PowerPoint Presentation Assignment ,

Prepare a 10 slide PowerPoint presentation. Title slide(s) and reference slide(s) do not count toward the slide count., The vast slide count difference is because organized crime in some countries is quite easy to study and organized crime in some countries have very limited information. In some instances, there will be a plethora of information and you must use skilled writing to maintain proper slide count. Please keep in mind that this is a doctoral level presentation. Your research must go beyond the mere textbook and have a minimum of 8 scholarly sources. The Holy Bible should be used at least once in the PowerPoint presentation. Each slide (of the 10 slides) must have 200 to 350 words of bulleted or paragraph speakers notes (in speaker notes section of the slide build). The slides should be professional and not cluttered with too many words. The sources should be reflected in the speaker notes, slides, and “reference section slide.” Additionally, you, the student, should use animations, transitions, and graphics to reflect PhD level research. Please review the grading rubric when forming your presentation. Sources should reflect scholarly work but may include .gov information is there is an author or if the information comes from a valid government research database (think CIA, State Department, United Nations, etc.).z

Leadership in Diverse Organizations

By Academic Wizard Blog

Leadership in Diverse Organizations

Each student will complete a term-long action project that will culminate with an original 7- to 10-page paper.

Observe organizational behavior: During this course, take the opportunity to observe organizational behavior firsthand for at least 10 hours during the term. The setting of your observation experience may be your workplace, a small business, a local organization (e.g., a volunteer site, a house of worship group), a St. Francis student club, or a virtual organization (e.g., a professional networking community). Leadership in Diverse Organizations

Background and action (1-2 pages)

Take action. Contribute a minimum of 10 hours during the term to a specific organizational situation (engaging in a project, activity, task, or routine operations of the organization).

Present an overview of your organizational experience. What is the setting? What is your role? How do you fit within the organization? Is this a new or ongoing experience for you? Leadership in Diverse Organizations

Action component and analysis (5-8 pages) Leadership in Diverse Organizations

Identify two specific organizational behavior topics from the list below that were explored this term: Leadership in Diverse Organizations

Individual (Micro-Level)

Group (Meso-Level)

Organization (Macro-Level)

· Diversity*

· Perception, attitudes, and beliefs

· Motivation

· 21st century challenges (rapid technology diffusion, globalization, changing definition of work, changing gender roles)

· Communication

· Teams

· Conflict negotiation

· Decision-making

· Power and politics

· Leadership

· Equity and inclusion*

· Organizational structure

· Organizational culture

· Strategy

* Historically, diversity is considered an individual-level issue in organizational behavior because focus has been on the responses of individual employees to diversity (their perception, attitudes, and beliefs). However, diversity, inclusion, and equity are issues at the macro-level because they require institutional commitment and are embedded into the organizational culture.

Reflect on your experience within the organization as it applies to the topics you identified.,

Based on your action and your research into your topics answer the following questions in your paper.,

What strengths does this organization offer to its employees volunteers or members?,

How would you describe the organization’s ethical climate?,

How can this organization improve to better engage and motivate its employees volunteers or members?,

What specific recommendations do you have do you have for this organization?, What actions should they continue, start, or stop based on your analysis of the two topics and your experience within the organization? Remember to support your recommendations with your observations and/or with references.

The paper must include in-text citations and a reference list in APA format. In addition to course readings, you must include at least 5 recent references to credible and reliable sources published in the last 5 years. These references can include to the organization’s website; news media or business publications; and/or academic journals. Please note your reference list is not included in the page length.

Prepare the paper using APA formatting guidelines.

This paper is the culminating written report of your term-long exploration into organizational behavior. Since it includes both a research and an action component, it cannot be completed in a rush at the end of the course. Late submissions will not be accepted.

The paper will be graded based on the MS in Management Writing Rubric.pdf
