discussion

Choose a current health policy from your state that is being considered as a legislative act.

Write an essay of 500-750 words about the impact of regulation and policy.

 

1. Explain the pros and cons of the proposed health policy from the perspective of the patient, family, or community and its role in reducing costs for health care insurers.

 

2. Explain the government’s impact on the cost of health care.

 

3. Explain what regulatory authority will implement or enforce this health care policy.

A minimum of three scholarly sources must be cited, including your textbook.

You have been working for a municipal police department for the past six months. You are assigned to the afternoon shift and have successfully completed your field training period. It is your first day of solo patrol.

 

At 4:00 p.m., you are dispatched to a local bar off Main Street for a disturbance. The bartender, Cassandra Smith, reported there was an intoxicated male inside the bar who refused to pay his tab. The male also refused to leave the bar. Upon arrival, a police lieutenant, Lt. Thompson, with 31-years experience, also arrives to assist. Lt. Thompson is a military veteran with a short temper. Your body-worn camera (BWC) records the interaction.

 

Inside the bar, you encounter the intoxicated male and identify him as Scott Simpson. Scott, 23-years old, is clearly intoxicated, but you use effective communications skills to convince him to speak with you outside the bar. Cassandra follows you and Scott outside and Lt. Thompson is also present. All four of you are now in the alley standing alongside your squad cars.

 

While you attempt to speak with Cassandra and get her side of the story, Scott yells at Cassandra and use profane and insulting language about her. Lt. Thompson yells at Scott, “You will not talk to a woman that way!” At the same time, Lt. Thompson grabs Scott by the back of the head, slams his face onto a squad car hood, spins him 180-degrees, and then shoves him, face first, into the adjacent concrete wall. Blood begins to pour out of Scott’s nose and Lt. Thompson orders, “Arrest this man!”

 

Outside of Scott’s abusive and profane language, he was not violent or resistive. You recognize the force being used by Lt. Thompson is excessive.

 

Consider what you would do in this scenario.

 

The use-of-force incident outside the bar was investigated by the internal affairs division and referred to the district attorney for prosecution. The district attorney’s office drafts a criminal complaint against Lt. Thompson charging him with felony battery and misconduct in public office, also a felony. Like any criminal defendant, Lt. Thompson will be afforded due process as the case progresses through the criminal court system.

 

Task

 

This task requires you to create a Power Point (PPT) presentation that explores the following content:

 

List each step of the criminal court process that Lt. Thompson would be exposed to in your state.

 

Discuss what occurs at each step in the court process. For example, during a preliminary hearing the judge determines if probable cause exists to believe Lt. Thompson committed a felony. If a finding of probable cause is made the case proceeds to trial.

 

Identify the potential consequences of Lt. Thompson’s behavior.

 

Discuss what you would do if you were the officer in the scenario who witnessed Lt. Thompson’s behavior. What are your legal and ethical obligations?

We will study and explore the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and behavioral development of humans from puberty to maturity. In addition, an examination of the challenges experienced by adolescents and parents will be covered. Syllabus is subject to change! Course Objectives. 1) To gain a fundamental understanding of the major theories pertinent to the development of an adolescent. 2) To integrate theory and practice, and research and experience, when discussing various stages and concepts during adolescence 3) To obtain a higher sense of self-awareness of oneself during this time of rapid change and growth Required Textbook Santrock, J. W. (2022). Adolescence. McGraw-Hill Education, 18th edition. ISBN: 1260245837

 

Regarding your final paper, please review the requirements from the syllabus, which I am copying again here: 

 

“Final Paper: Your final paper will be broken down into two sections. 

 

 

 

Section One:

 

· Select an adolescent individual from past or present and introduce them by providing a full profile.  Include their psychological, social, and physical health as well as their demographic information in your description.  This individual can be yourself, someone you know, chosen from a case study, or a character from film, television or literature. 

 

· Explain why you have chosen to focus on this individual.

 

· Describe at least one   defining event or circumstance that influenced this individual and had (or will likely have) either a positive or negative effect on their future.  This should be related to the topic for Part II.  Explain.  

 

Section Two:  

 

1.  Select a  topic, concept, or theory of Adolescent Psychology and Development  that we covered this semester. Example: Adolescent Health and its future implications in adulthood, including individuals and information from the film, Fed Up.  (Select your chosen topic from our textbook, or a film, article or other publication that we have reviewed).  You must also include an additional outside source for your research.  

 

-This topic, concept or theory must be applicable to Part I.

 

-Your sources must include our textbook, as well as at least one other publication. (Book, textbook, article, study, paper etc.)

 

2.  Provide your own interpretations of what this concept entails.  Clearly explain and describe this concept as it pertains to Adolescent Psychology, and/or positive psychology in relation to adolescent psychology. 

 

3.  Explain why you have chosen to focus on this particular area. 

 

4.  Describe how this topic is relevant to the individual from part I.

 

5.   Include any other details or explanation that you find relevant to your point.” 

 

So to recap, you will 1) choose and adolescent individual (either real or from tv/movies/books), 2) you will discuss why you chose them, 3) you will relay a defining event or circumstance in their lives, 4) you will choose a theory or topic from this semester that pertains to your chosen person and discuss in detail the various aspects of the theory or topic you’ve chosen (like a literature review), 4) explain why you chose this area, 5) explain why this area you chose is relevant to your character, 5) include any other information that might be helpful. Further –  you will need to use APA citation guidelines . I will be deducting points for failing to adhere to these standards. For reference you can look here  https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html . I expect you all to reference your textbook  and at least one other scholarly work (a different textbook, a peer reviewed journal, or some other reputable source of information). 

 

This paper should be a minimum of five pages (not including cover page or reference sheet) double spaced, times new roman 12 font. This paper is 28 points of your final grade. If anyone has any questions please feel free to email me. If you’re uncertain about who to choose or focus on, you can get in touch with me via email. You can also reach out to confirm that who you’ve chosen will work. I am here to help if you need.  

 

If anyone has any questions about the final paper, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Some questions that I’ve answered over email that I will post here: 

 

-This assignment should be in the third person, like most academic papers, and in an academic/clinical tone.  I will deduct points for writing in an overly casual tone. 

 

-The crux of the paper is connecting a topic that we covered in class (and a developmental theory to connect with) to a character of your choosing. It is easier to do this with a fictional character than someone in real life. If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to ask me. 

 

-The main part of this paper is discussing the topic of interest from our weekly readings in detail, and then connecting it to your character of choice. 

 

-you are only to cite  peer-reviewed journalarticles. Not some random website about health, The NY Times, what your friend posted on Facebook, or anything else that wasn’t published in a peer-reviewed research oriented journal. You will lose significant points for citing an article from CNN or VeryWellMind on your final paper. Please let me know if you have any questions!

 

-I will be deducting points for each instance where you violate APA formatting. That includes the style, the citations, reference sheet, etc.  PLEASE MAKE SURE TO REVIEW WHEN AND WHERE TO PUT IN-TEXT CITATIONS.There are many websites and videos (in addition to the ones I’ve already uploaded on here) to help you learn this. If you have a specific question, please reach out to me (or ya know, Google it first?). This is a silly way for you to lose points on your final grade.  

 

-The use of ChatGPT will be heavily penalized.
