Write a 3-4 page essay in which you explain how you would use the scientific method and steps of the sociological research process to study two issues.IntroductionIf you have ever tried to complete a jigsaw puzzle, you probably know that one of the most common techniques is to assemble all the edge pieces first. Framing the picture in this way helps you develop a strategy for finding the pieces you need to complete the puzzle. Similarly, when you’re trying to solve a problem in society or your personal or professional life, you first need to frame the problem, then develop a strategy, and finally gather the pieces of evidence you need to find a solution.One way sociologists do this is by using the scientific method, a step-by-step process for collecting evidence to test a hypothesis (or explanation) about the way the world works. Sociologists use this step-by-step approach to explore observations and answer questions about society, such as which social factors influence the choice of romantic partners or to what extent gender affects economic mobility. For this assessment, you will review two scenarios and explain how you would use the scientific method and steps of the sociological research process to study two issues.PreparationReview the suggested resources for this assessment. Note that Chapter 3 of the Sociology: The Essentials textbook provides useful background information, including details about the scientific method and the steps involved in sociological research.Read the scenarios below:Scenario 1: Jessica is a sociologist who studies culture in the workplace at Company Y. She is designing a research study to get a better understanding of differences in productivity between mixed-gender teams and teams whose members are of the same gender.Scenario 2: There is growing concern over the issue of bullying in the local school district. Julius, who works in the school administration office, has been asked to design a research study to identify if the strict school policies (that some students and parents view as unfair) may be contributing to the increase of bullying.InstructionsFor each scenario, address the following questions in essay form. Organize your paper with a heading for Scenario 1 and a heading for Scenario 2.Develop a research question for each research scenario.For each scenario, provide a clear research question that captures what the researchers (Jessica and Julius) are studying.Explain how each researcher should use the remaining steps of the sociological research process to answer the research question.For each step of the sociological research process, explain what the researcher should do to achieve the goal of that particular step. For example, during the data collection process, Julius might gather information about school policies; conduct interviews with students, parents, and teachers; and review data on school incidents reported to teachers or principals.Be sure to address all four steps that follow the development of a research question: (1) research design and literature review, (2) data collection, (3) data analysis, and (4) conclusion.Explain how each researcher can use the study results to inform decision making.Discuss how both researchers can use the results of their research to make decisions. For example, how might Jessica use the findings from her research to improve organizational culture, collaboration, and productivity in her workplace? Similarly, how might Julius use the findings from his study to propose and develop effective bullying policies?Be sure to write in a well-organized and concise manner that adheres to the rules of grammar, usage, and mechanics.Additional RequirementsYour Word document submission should meet the following requirements:Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.Citations: Include both in-text citations and a references list of your sources.

What principles of effective listening was Veronica violating?

Background:Here is a quote from Chapter 10 to ponder: “Listen at all levels. Some of the best ideas come from those on the front lines.” — Rosalind Brewer, president and CEO, Sam’s Club.To Read:Read Chapter 10: ListeningTo View:“5 Ways to Listen Better”5 ways to listen better | Julian TreasureTo Do:Veronica Sharpe, marketing manager for Diamond Communications, an outdoor advertising company, arrived in the boardroom for her teleconference with Brad Jones, a potential client. She was extremely busy today and brought her smart tablet with her, checking e-mail along the way. She also brought herdigital voice recorder so that she could record the conversation for reference later. She intentionally left the cameras off, opting to only use audio transmission. Brad called right on time, and they began to speak about Brad’s plan for utilizing advertising space on the variety of electronic billboards along Interstate 45, a north-south route through Houston, Texas.About two minutes into Brad’s exposition of his plans, Veronica’s smart tablet buzzed. It was an e-mail she had been waiting on for two hours, and time was of the essence—she had to reply quickly to settle a payment before the 4:00 p.m. deadline, 5:00 p.m. in the Eastern time zone from where the e-mail was being sent. She thought to herself, “I’m recording all this, so I can just review it later—I have to answer this e-mail now. Time to multitask.”About a minute later, in the middle of her e-mail response, she noticed a distinct pause in Brad’s speech. “Veronica?” Brad asked. “Still there?”“Oh, yes,” Veronica answered, embarrassed. “Can you repeat that last thing?”“I want to know if the plan is something that your firm can accomplish, or do I need to find another firm with electronic boards?” Brad asked.For this assignment, students will respond to the following prompts. Initial response, 400+ words (include properly formatted citations and corresponding references from the assigned readings/videos in support of your response); then, respond to two classmate posts, 100+ words each.1 What principles of effective listening was Veronica violating?2 What do you think her best alternative is at this moment in time, given her lack of attention to Brad’s proposal?

What would be your recommendations for overall system evaluation and revision?

You are the consultant for a long-term care facility that recently has undergone a long-term care survey in which the facility received several deficiency notations for noncompliance with federal requirements. The most significant deficiency involved a noted pattern (7 of 10examples reviewed in the surveyor sample) in which comprehensive assessments (MDSs) were not completed within the required timeframe (within 14 days of admission). In addition, the surveyors identified that no documentation supported the use of triggered care areas in the assessment and care-planning process. This resulted in related quality-of-care deficiencies for failure to adequately assess and manage urinary incontinence and psychosocial needs. In three additional examples, the surveyors identified that residents had experienced a significant change in condition without evidence of a new assessment being done. Within the statement of deficiencies, the surveyors noted that the director of nursing stated that she was unaware that assessments had not been done. And the nursing staff members stated that they did not under-stand what the care area triggers were, and that they were unaware of the federal criteria for determining when a significant change had occurred. The administrator of this facility has asked you to help develop a plan to correct these deficiencies. Here are the questions:1. What would be your recommendations for overall system evaluation and revision?2. What would be your recommendations for staff education?3. How could the facility medical records designee be utilized to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future?
