Journal Assignment: Can you sustain or maintain any emotion for more than one hour? Tell me whether and how you succeeded. Did you find it natural or unnatural to try to sustain your feelings? Or, were emotions meant to be time-limited and therefore something you did not invest much in keeping but, rather, something you learn from, or are sources of information? Does the hedonic treadmill make people look like fools, our culture look like a bankrupt capitalistic nightmare, or both? Lastly, does this research suggest that happiness is best viewed as a destination or as a lifelong process? Length of the journal can vary between 1/2 and 2 pages but in no case should be more than 2 pages (should be typed in12 pt. font, double spaced and with 1 inch margins)

After reading the text, I do not agree with the ideology Regan was attempting to establish. I do not think that Regan realized how times were changes before him as well as the family dynamic. Regan did not change the formula once he saw that the old one was not working any more. During this time there were increases in single parent households as well a rise in the divorce rate. There were even increases in the unemployment rate. So, what exactly makes a person worthy or unworthy of receiving assistance if there is something that they need and cannot provide or do not have access to? America has never been able to fit into one single box and I believe that this is what they were trying to do here. I believe that the wording should have changed. Or maybe some guidelines be established and if you qualify for said assistance then you will be eligible to receive it. Axinn, June & Stern, Mark. (2018).

The “Worthy” and “Unworthy” Poor The recurrent push under President Reagan for distinguishing between the worthy and the unworthy and for the voluntary and private sector to take on more responsibility for social welfare seems to reflect a turn back to the 1800s and the Charity Organization Societies. Do you agree or disagree with this ideology? What similarities and differences do you see between the Reagan era policies and the Charity Organization Societies? Do you agree or disagree with their claims of worthiness, based on NASW’s Policy Statement on Economic Justice? Explain why.
The Progression and Regression of Civil Rights The 1960s marked a period of civil rights that were expanded in the 1970s. However, in the late 1980s, these efforts seemed to take a different direction, with a more conservative Supreme Court. Given the current composition of the Supreme Court: Do you think civil rights continue to be reversed or expanded for certain groups? Support your claim with evidence from the scholarly or research literature. Which groups may benefit from the current Supreme Court, and which groups may suffer? You may have to review current events to answer this part of the question. Identify two different groups whose civil rights are suffering current infringement but may not be receiving public attention. How does the NASW Policy Statement on Civil Liberties and Social Justice address these discrimination and equity
The new 2018 Code of Conduct for Nurses, published by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA), sets out legal requirements, professional behaviour and conduct expectations for all nurses. The principles apply to all areas of practice, with an understanding that nurses will exercise professional judgement in applying them, with the goal of delivering the best possible outcomes. The Code contains four domains, within which are contained seven principles and their respective values. Select two principles from the new Code. With reference to your own area of practice, analyse how (and to what extent) you consider that compliance with each of your selected principles and respective values will impact firstly on safety and secondly on quality in your working environment. Provide evidence from peer-reviewed literature to support all your arguments.

Case Study – Imperialism and Genocide Textbook: Duiker, W. J. (2015). Contemporary world history (6th ed.). Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning. Chapter 2, 4 Lesson Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook) The Armenian Genocide Ethnic hatred is not new to the human race and ethnic hatred also goes hand in hand with some of the causes of World War 1 that we have discussed this week, namely nationalism and imperialism. In nationalism, the people not only believe their countrymen (those who look, talk, sound, and believe like them) are not only “better” than people of certain other countries but they also have the right and possibly even the responsibility to conquer areas with those inferior to them and take whatever resources they feel they need. Add to this the need for the leader of a country to be able to blame a certain ethnic group within that country for their problems. Such was the case in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks launched a winter offensive into the mountains of southern Russia early in the war and suffered a severe defeat, both at the hands of the Russian army and the terrible weather they encountered. The Sultan needed a scapegoat to blame the loss on, so he picked an unpopular ethnic minority, the Armenians. Since the people seemed to believe the story, the Ottoman military rounded up as many Armenians as they could and marched them away to their fate. Watch the following videos on the Armenian genocide: Link (video): Armenian Diaspora (Links to an external site.) (32: 43) Link (video): Battle over History (Links to an external site.) (12:04) After viewing the videos, conduct research on the topic and develop a case study based on the following questions: How did the Armenian genocide play on the root causes of World War I, including nationalism, imperialism, social Darwinism, ethnic hatred, and the gullibility of the Turkish people who allowed this to happen and often even supported it. What were the main motivations of the Ottoman rulers who decided to try and eliminate an entire ethnic minority within their country? What was the process the Ottomans went through to round up the Armenians and march them to their deaths? Describe the process of the march and eventual genocide of the Armenians. Why do terrible crimes against humanity always seem to happen during a war? How do foreign governments recognize and deal with this event in their relationship with Turkey?
