Why/why not?What are your thoughts about counseling via the Internet?What are some advantages of online counseling?What are some disadvantages of online counseling?What specific ethical issues do you think need to be raised?Ethical issue here that could be a problem is trust. If one could not trust a system the person should not use the system because there are reasons why the person could not trust the system. Most people prefer face-to-face counseling because they could receive more friendly talks than using internet. Another ethical issue that could be a problem is being able to resolve a problem using the online system of chatting. Problem resolution is always very important and should be a priority because it is the reason why the person actually go for counseling online. There is also a problem of normatively involved. There are simple norms that people should put in practice during working. This norms suppose to help them do their work better but when the counselor is not on their best attitude it could be a problem. Would you use this form of technology in your counseling practice? Why/why not?Forum post response #2Despite the fact that many services are available in the convenience of our own homes, including therapy. But my thoughts about counseling via the internet is so much concerned about the ethical aspect of the client’s privacy and confidentiality. Although it is seen as a very flexible ways of providing services in such a way that is beneficiary to both clients and clinicians whereby information is sent and respond to easy, but my concerned is more about leakage and hackers risk of client’s personal electronic records. Based on the nature of insecurity when it comes to internet counseling, especially due to technological fluctuation or issues during treatment has been my other concerned about internet counseling especially in case of an emergency situation. Despite the fact that internet counseling might be seen as less expensive and more beneficial to clients especially those in rural areas who could not afford the cost of transportation compared to the traditional face-to-face counseling settings which required driving to a professionals office to schedule an appointment. But the areas of privacy and confidentiality was still my major areas of concern about internet counseling.Despite the beneficial aspects of online counseling, there are some disadvantages which is associated with online counseling as well which includes security issues with clients such as confidentiality, privacy, effective understanding of client’s informed consent, unreliable technological issues, and also clinicians professional competency might pose as a major issues during the counseling process. Also, this might be very disadvantageous for clients who have an intention of committing suicide. It might as well pose as a threat for clinicians to intervene during a critical time of crisis situation and also due to lack of information, might pose as a challenging factor for insurance companies to pay for counseling services of client as well.There are a lot of ethical concerns when it comes to online counseling that needs to be put into consideration. First and foremost, due to the fact that hackers are constantly online doing their business, the client’s privacy and confidential information might raise a serious ethical issues that needs to be put into consideration. Secondly, client’s informed consent might pose as a challenging factor especially for client’s with an intention of self harm or others, as well as clients with suicide thoughts or behaviors. It is also very important for clinicians to develop a professional cultural competency especially when dealing with clients from different diversity during intervention as well which might pose an ethical issues especially when there is lack of communication or language barrier. All of these might pose an ethical concern especially when such counseling is not in line with state and federal counseling regulation.Forum post response #3This week we are discussing the internet, psychology, and online counseling. We live in an era where everything is done online. People don’t typically buy a recipe book anymore, they “Google” a recipe for their desired meal at the click of a button. People don’t send out photos of their newborn babies to their closest friends and family, they just post their “Fresh 48” baby photos to social media. These are just some examples of how our lives have moved to the online world of digital connections. Personally, it scares me! I am so unsure where things are going, but I also am not the most tech savvy person so I struggle to print/scan something. I recognize that no matter how I feel about this change, it is happening and it is happening fast.  I was just having a conversation with my family about “Maybe it’s time to get rid of most of these DVD’s”. I prefer to use the actual DVD to watch my favorite movies, but in the age of smart TV’s, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, they don’t have much use anymore. I think when it comes to social interaction it cannot be viewed the same as some of our information resources being switched to the online world. People need to be able to communicate with all the facets of communication such as haptics, proxemics, tone of voice, etc. This is especially important if someone is coming into counseling for anxiety of depression, they are likely to misinterpret a therapist’s chat box in writing.The ethical concerns about online counseling are significant. It has less monitoring or ways to report, unless it is done through a strictly online servicing company. The therapist can potentially be out shopping, while their client is suicidal and need their full attention. Perhaps even could be driving. The other question of ethics is the billing process for online counseling. How would one bill for text therapy?  I do believe there are some instances where online counseling could be beneficial, but believe them to be short term solutions. Perhaps those who are traveling, or deployed, or those who are crippled by social anxiety, or with an illness unable to travel to a session.

Juvenile delinquency unit 4 – ip | CJUS285 Juvenile Delinquency | Colorado Technical University

 
Navigating the juvenile court process from intake to re-entry care can be confusing to youth. It differs greatly from the adult system, with a focus on doing what is in the youth’s best interest throughout the nine different steps of the process.
For this assignment, we will take a journey through the juvenile court process through the eyes of Destiny, our youth from Week 3. We will enter each door of the process to gain a better understanding of what a youth may experience and how they may feel as they move through the system.
Complete the following activity to learn about the nine steps of the juvenile court process and see how Destiny experiences it from her own perspective:
 CJUS285_U4-IP_Adjudication-Process_IconRevealer (careered.com) 
 Then, answer the following questions using the template provided:

During the intake process, youth may be asked questions around their background, their first time experimenting with illicit substances, family life, and so on. Why are these questions important during intake?
During the detention process, a decision will be made on where a youth will be placed until they have an adjudication hearing. Do you believe it was in Destiny’s best interest to be temporarily placed in a detention facility? Why or why not?
What are some of the reasons that youth are waived to the adult system? Do you believe Destiny’s actions were severe enough to be waived to the adult system? Why or why not?
Why is aftercare important for a juvenile?
If you had to explain the adjudication process to Destiny, what do you believe would be the most difficult piece to explain to her and why?
Based on everything you have learned about the adjudication process, do you believe the decisions made for Destiny were the right decisions, and were they in her best interest? Why or why not?

Assignment 1.1: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part I
Prewriting
 
When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking by playing the “Believing Game.” The Believing Game is about making the effort to “believe” – or at least consider – the reasons for an opposing view on an issue.
 
The assignment is divided into two (2) parts.
In Part I of the assignment (due Week 2), you will first read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes: “The Believing Game and How to Make Conflicting Opinions More Fruitful” at http://www.procon.org/sourcefiles/believinggame.pdf. Next, you will review the Procon.org Website in order to gather information. Then, you will engage in prewriting to examine your thoughts.
Note: In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will write an essay geared towards synthesizing your ideas.
 
 
Part I – Prewriting: Follow the instructions below for this prewriting activity.  Use complete sentences and adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
1. Select one (1) of the approved topics from the www.procon.org Website and state your position on the issue.
2. From the Procon.org Website, identify three (3) premises (reasons) listed under either the Pro or Con section – whichever section opposes your position.
3.For each of the three (3) premises (reasons) that oppose your position on the issue, answer these “believing” questions suggested by Elbow:
 
What’s interesting or helpful about this view?
What would I notice if I believed this view?
In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?”
The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:
 
Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
 
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
 
Identify the informal fallacies, assumptions, and biases involved in manipulative appeals and abuses of language.
Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in critical thinking skills and informal logic.

Week 4 Discussion 1COLLAPSE”Pricing Policies and Buyers” Please respond to the following:AND RESPOND TO THESE POSTS: Miller RE: Week 4 Discussion 1COLLAPSEValued driven buyer focuses primarily, though not exclusively, on the value. It’s beneficial to the organization since when successfully used, it improves the profitability due to the higher prices charged. The buyer has driven emotions regarding fashion. It triggers value-based pricing whereby pricing is as per the benefit perceived from the product. It’s predicated upon the understanding of the customer value.Pricing strategies, as well as pricing of the products, constitutes one of the crucial aspects affecting decision making as well as building the company’s image.Promotional pricing could be applied. It involves reduction of prices of the products or services to indefensibly low levels. The strategy is used to penetrate a given market which is highly competitive.To value-driven buyer changes in prices would not be an important factor to consider. It may not affect their consumption. Instead failure to the commodity or service not meeting their expectation or needs, it will highly and negatively affect their purchasing trends.Jackson RE: Week 4 Discussion 1COLLAPSEI pick the car industry. When customers are shopping they are mostly looking at the price of the car and not the features. One important decision companies face is setting prices. The three major pricing strategies are cost-based pricing, competition-based pricing, and customer driver or customer value-based pricing. Customer-driven pricing is the practice of setting prices according to customers’ perceived value of a company’s goods or services. I believe automakers and dealers must focus on transforming the overall customer experience and ultimately develop into a trusted organization. An integrated customer experience strategy is key to building loyalty, retention, and consequently higher profit margins in sales and after sales. In order to transform a customer from a buyer to a brand advocate, trusted relationships need to be built by injecting trust-building attributes into every customer interaction. For automakers and dealers to continue to be relevant, it will be critical to create value propositions that help customers tailor their mobility packages. This could involve offering choices ranging from buying vehicles to designing a package involving access to multiple vehicles and modes of transport. Thus, the focus shifts from the experience of driving the vehicle, to experiencing the brand. In addition, with regulations pushing for greater competition from independent repair market, an integrated aftersales value proposition may be the only way to create repeat customers.

TALK DIRECTLY TO CLASSMATES IN PEER REVIEWS!!! YOU MUST COMPLETE BOTH PEER REVIEWS AND DISCUSSION QUESTION!! THANK YOU1) DISCUSSION QUESTIONPart 1: Post a ResponseThis week is all about our DNA and gene expression. The complete set of all DNA in a cell is called the genome. The complete set of all the mRNA in a cell is called the transcriptome. Read the following article about the transcriptome found at: 2) PEER REVIEW #1 (CYNTHIA)Hello Class, Explain how the transcriptome helps us to better understand the differences between cells from different types of tissues that are specialized for different functions. The transcriptome can tell you all the information that is being transcribed. This allows you to know what the cells gene expression looks like at a given time. What do you think is the most interesting or significant thing about the transcriptome? While your genome stays the same, the transcriptome (what mRNA is being copied) can change. This shows what activity a cell may be doing. Different cells transcribe different genes for different purposes even though they may all have the same genetic material. This is important to understand a cell’s function or differentiation. 3) PEER REVIEW #2 (NATAUSHA)DNA is copied to type of RNA called mRNA by a process called transcriptome Transcriptome is the collection of all genes that are present in a cell. Transcriptome is very beneficial to research. Researchers can search a transcriptome database and find a list of all tissues in which a gene is expressed as well as find clues about its possible function. Also, they can compare different gene types to gain deeper understanding of what constitutes a specific gene. Depending on the technique, they can count the number of transcriptome to determine the amount of gene activity which is also known as gene expression. Lastly, By analyzing the entire collection of RNA sequences, researchers can determine when and where each gene is turned off in cells and tissues of an organism.The most interesting thing to me about transcriptome is how beneficial it could be to research when it comes to diseases such as cancer. By researching the effects of diseases on cells, their ccould be major breakthroughs.

 If I had a non-performing team member, I would use Maslow’s hierarchy theory to give the employee a sense of belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. I would set up a one-on-one with the team member and go over their current performance and give a briefing on the expected performance metrics. I’d ask questions to understand why they’re having difficulties in meeting the performance metrics. Sometimes people go through things in their life, and it spills over into their work. If that’s the case, I would show compassion but advise that not performing to company standards is not acceptable. Based on what the reasoning is I’d give remedial training to help solidify their weaknesses in their performance. I would listen to the team members’ viewpoints and then come to some type of consensus. I would then set up a plan of action and give clear expectations and consequences if the performance is below company expectations. Depending on what’s needed from the team member Id give weekly coaching or counseling if needed. After reviewing their progress over some time, I would reward them for their improvement or take the next steps if no improvements are made. If I don’t see any improvement, then we would go back to the drawing table or punish according to the performance.

 The motivation theory and approach I would use to get team member on tracks, would be to establish clear and manageable instructions. Within our text and the information that was provided in this module. Being able to motivate someone takes a lot of work, if you understand the individual needs and how they see the situation or what they are trying to accomplish it will work in a positive way for the team. The Maslow’s theory is one of the known motivation theories. Which includes five human needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. As you read these needs, do you agree with the theory of work motivation. We as people need to see that someone care for what we do in our company/organization, human behavior. Try to understand what the reason for non-performance. Have a one-on-one talk with the individual, is there some significant reason why or why not the individual is not performed. Maybe separate that person from the group and give them small tasks on their own within the same time frame to be done. Lifting someone spirits and telling them how much you appreciate them and what they do for the company goes a long way. Being a listening ear is powerful then we think. Be a leader who cares and encourage team members to their full potential. 

Discussion cyber law

DiscussionWhat are the legal consequences of the Erin Andrews’ invasion of privacy case? Is this case relevant to the recent allegations that some Hilton hotel rooms have hidden cameras that videotape unsuspecting guest? (See Reply 1The recent technological innovations and changes in the world have their own merits and demerits (Shoshitaishvili, Kruegel and Vigna, 2015). The increased use of the internet and social media platforms have made life easy and comfortable hence making people enjoy the best from all these improvements. However, several cases about hacking, data breaches, network intrusions, and privacy invasion have been on the rise and a lot of people, organizations and governments have been vastly affected negatively. In the year 2008 Erin Andrews a reporter working with ESPN was secretly filmed while staying at Marriott Hotel in Nashville. The person who was secretly filmed Mrs. Andrews was Michael David Barret pleaded guilty of the crime and was  sentenced to serve 2.5 years in prison. Mrs. Andrews was later awarded $55 million for the case. The jury stated that Mr. Michael David Barrett was to be blamed 51% and the hotel owner, management and Windsor Capital Group was to be blamed for the remaining 49%. The hotel management was blamed for the stalker’s actions due to three reasons, and these were: First is that the stalker called the hotel to confirm if Mrs. Andrews was to stay in the hotel and they proved it. Secondly, is that the stalker requested the hotel to book the room next to Ms. Andrews room and they booked the room for the stalker. Thirdly is that the hotel management failed to call Ms. Andrews and inquire if she was expecting anyone to be confirmed about his stay in the hotel, but they never did. Hotel management should have robust security measures to protect their customers from stalkers and other deviant people that could wish harm to any of their clients. Reply 2For the situation, Erin Andrews got $55 million in the Hotel Peephole Lawsuit. The Jury in Nashville found the Hotel Marriot proprietor and stalker blameworthy In 2008, Andrews was remaining at a Nashville, Tennessee Marriott when Barrett utilized a peephole in the entryway of the lodging Andrews was in to record naked recordings of Andrews. As indicated by Andrews’ declaration, Barrett mentioned to be close to Andrews’ lodging and inn staff respected that demand. “Nobody at any point called me or revealed to me when I checked in that he requested to be put alongside me. Barret confessed to doing as such in lodgings in Columbus, Ohio, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, notwithstanding one in Nashville. Barrett served 20 months in the wake of confessing to stalking Andrews in 2009. Erin Andrews was granted $55 million in her claim against previous insurance agency official Michael David Barrett and the proprietor and previous administrator of the Nashville Marriott for a situation that prompted a naked video of Andrews surfacing on the Internet. Legal hearers said Barrett was in charge of 51 percent of the decision and the proprietor and previous administrator of the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt is in charge of 49 percent. The $55 million decision will be part between Michael Barrett and the proprietors/administrators of the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University. Taking everything into account, I am cheerful the case finished the manner in which it did. Nobody has the right to get their security abused and no measure of cash could make up for such a disreputable demonstration. Note:-Its a Discussion and two replies each of 150 words for above questioni need everything in separate documents as 1st document should be discussion of 250words. , 2nd document should be reply 1 and 3rd document should be reply 2.make sure no turnitin and no plagiarism please dont copy it from any source write in your own words.make sure you write everything in own wordsPlease dont copy from any source we have a turnitin.need referencesAnd send me three documents in different folder.
