Over the past few weeks, we have studied the role of the judiciary in the separation of powers. In Federalist no. 78, youll recall, Publius argued that the judiciary would be the least dangerous branch of government because it would be institutionally weakest. Write a short essay answering the following question: Is the judiciary the least dangerous branch of government?
Long-term care (LTC) has often been thought of as the place where people go to die. Thankfully, this is one area of health care that has experienced significant reform over the years. Although there are still many improvements needed, the system has evolved into two basic delivery models: community and institutional.
How will you change your behavior on this new understanding of Servant Leadership? What strategies did you learn that if implemented would allow you to actualize the Servant Leadership Principles in a leadership role?
Planning for the Practicum
Consider what approach you would use (including specific steps of the process) to plan for and implement an aggregate-level change that facilitates the translation of evidence into practice. Begin with the analytical process required to identify the change that needs to be made.*
Think about learning objectives that would guide your practicum hours, as well as the activities you will undertake to achieve those objectives. Draft two or three learning objectives that are related to the AACN DNP Essentials, your practice area specialty competencies, and the focus of this courseplanning for and implementing a sustainable change related to the translation of evidence into practice, as well as the development of leadership competencies to facilitate this.
Directly reflect on the following from this week’s readings. A short link is provided with helpful details.

“The overthrow of the shah of Iran in 1979 resulted in the loss of an important Western ally in the region, though the ensuing militant Islamic government was hostile to both superpowers.”
Describe the impact of this event to international relations, how you think it affects the world order to this day and what should be done with the current Iranian regime – take a British, Russian or Chinese perspective and not American when responding. Identify drivers from your country and what type of relationship you want with Iran. Would this antagonize the West? How would you mitigate? Are your ideas currently found in the world right now?
Remember the goal is not to create form papers but insightful, personally observant and creative ponderings about world events, how the world works or some other angle you found in your journey that week.
Each paper is to be 3-4 pages long with a minimum of 3 outside sources.

Assignment: Therapeutic Relationships
A childs or adolescents disruptive behaviors can be challenging for a clinician. Disruptive behaviors can interrupt the counseling process, and they often signify the existence of emotions a child or adolescent is unable to express verbally. Some prospective child and adolescent clinicians may be ill-equipped to manage disruptive behaviors or recognize that the behaviors are symptomatic of an issue or disorder. This lack of knowledge may elicit a nontherapeutic response from a clinician, which can damage the development of a therapeutic relationship. A therapeutic relationship is vital in order to counsel children and adolescents effectively.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the Disruptive Behaviors Part Two media and select a particular child or adolescent with a disruptive behavior. Consider one strength and one weakness of the therapeutic relationship with the child or adolescent during the counseling sessions.
The Assignment (35 pages) is in two parts:
Part One: Ineffective Interventions
Identify the less effective counseling session you selected, and explain why it was less effective.
Identify and explain the intent of the target goal in the counseling session.
Explain one ineffective aspect of the counseling approach and why.
Explain one misstep the counselor made that inhibited the development of a therapeutic relationship and why.
Part Two: Effective Interventions
Identify the more effective counseling session you selected, and explain why it was more effective.
Explain one intended goal the counselor was attempting to accomplish in the counseling approach and why.
Explain one ineffective aspect of the counseling approach and why.
Explain two critical skills the counselor demonstrated that promoted the development of a therapeutic relationship and how those critical skills were used.
A qualitative article provides insights into feelings, points of view, or opinions about a particular situation or event. Although descriptions are provided they are not quantifiably measured by an instrument containing numbers such as a Likert scale. Participants’ responses can be obtained from surveys, interviews, focus groups, or observations and are categorized into themes by the researcher. The article will describe and interpret the information obtained from the participants. Please submit both articles used for this assignment in the dropbox labeled for the articles. One article should be the qualitative article and the second article is the article you used for comparison in the assignment.
Article has to be submitted along with paper.

sources within 5 years
Directions:
Select an artwork from the chapter. Describe in vivid descriptive specifics of the appearance of the artwork. 650 word length, approx. 1 – 2 pages; Required File Type/Document: Microsoft Word
Before attempting this assignment, read the Moodle Book titled Module 1 Resources for Analyzing Artworks and read the textbook Introduction What is Art History pg. 1.
Step One: Select an Artwork From Chapter One or Two
Take a bit of time in selecting. Be certain it is something that you would like to think about. Seriously, picking something you haven’t thought about will make things bad. Don’t try to be lazy and pick something you think is easy, because it usually is harder than picking something you can actually say something about or have a connection to.Step 4 Organize your lists into a cogent narrative description of the artwork
Not much more to say here, work at putting your lists into a narrative description of the work. Define the terms and statements in your list to improve the description of your work.
Step 5 Use facts and research to support your ideas
This may not require research. If you do research, make sure your research fits Craap standards to determine whether you are using high quality academic scholarly references. Provide citation (link 1) in Chicago or Turabian (link 2) when applying research information to your statement. You need a works cited list at the end of your journal entry. Citations 20%
Citations follow Chicago or Turabian Format (10%)
Sources follow CRAAP standards (10%)
