Explain how and why cultures persist and know what the purpose of and why socialization is important.
Assignment Overview
As Americans we are born into a dominant cultural narrative that helps understand what it means to be an American. While that may sound simplistic there is an American way of doing and being that is taken for granted — especially when it is violated. CULTURES share social traditions that may include language, social norms, beliefs, art, literature, music, traditions, pastimes, values, knowledge, recreation, mythology, ritual and religion.
On the other hand, within the main culture, specific variants co-exist — drawing down some facets of the dominant culture, while changing or rejecting other facets. We call these variants SUB-CULTURES.
Sub-cultures are self-organized community of shared interests, lifestyles, beliefs, customs, norms, style or tastes. They may surround a hobby, art movement, music scene, fashion sense, philosophy or lifestyle. Culture surrounds pervasive social groups such as a nation, community, religion, ethnicity or social class. For example Hip-Hop, Hipsters, Bikers, Emos, Gamers, Queer, Skaters, Cosplayers, Evangelicals, Jocks and Anime are just some of the sub-cultures active with America today.

IHP 670 Module Eight Program Critique Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

You will complete ?ve program critique assignments in the course to support your work as you prepare for your ?nal project. These assignments ask that you critique a program described

within an identi?ed article located in the module’s resources. These articles were chosen because they relate to the module’s topics and demonstrate some common problems that programs

encounter. In each assignment, you will have the opportunity to critique certain program components, such as resources, activities, outcome measures, use of feedback loops, assumptions, and

external barriers. Once planners have identi?ed the details for each of the program components, they must step back and assess how those components can best operate within the program’s

environment. That involves considering concepts such as cultural competency, systems thinking, ethical practice, and others. You will focus on these different concepts, in turn, through the

program critiques. As you develop your program critique skills, you will be asked to identify areas that could be or need to be improved and offer recommendations.

In this assignment, you will critique a health or healthcare program using the program critique reading in the Resources section of this module. The reading portrays example program decision-

making relevant to module content. The selected program critique reading is the required reading for this assignment.

This assignment will help you predict the importance of a system-thinking approach in program planning. It will help you consider how to construct your program planning team. This activity

will also help you understand the role of adequate communication when developing a program plan, design, and evaluation.

Findings from this assignment will help you analyze and improve your program’s team development and communication aspects.

Prompt

Write a program critique that examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a speci?c health need.

Speci?cally, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Systems Thinking: Explain how the program considers a systems-thinking approach in program planning. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What role does systems thinking play in making program planning more adaptive, transparent, and evidence based?

How does systems thinking help with team development and communication?

2. Stakeholders’ and Team Members’ Roles: Analyze the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and team members in the program’s planning. Consider the following questions to guide

your response:

How did the inclusion of stakeholders help minimize the risks associated with the program?

What would you change in the given program’s team-building efforts to make it more collaborative?

??

3. Communication Tools and Techniques: Determine whether the program’s activities and resources use adequate communication tools and techniques to achieve the desired outcomes.

Consider the following questions to guide your response:

How did ineffective communication negatively impact the given program and its stakeholders?

What would you change to improve the communication with the stakeholders?

4. Summary and Recommendations: Summarize your ?ndings from the program analysis, and share at least two recommendations about the appropriate use of systems thinking and

inclusion of stakeholders in program planning. Consider the following question to guide your response:

How would you use systems thinking to plan the activities for the given program differently?

Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module

resources) of credible sources and be current within the last ?ve years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate

located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support. If you need writing support, access the Online Writing Center through the Academic Support module of your course.

Use the linear fit command from the menu to plot a best-fit line. Remember, the  equation for the slope of the line is, y = mx + b, where the slope is m.    F. What is the slope of the line? What does it represent? 

Objectives: To make basic distance, mass, density, and time measurements, 
To make calculations of volume and density, using proper units, and 
To use spreadsheet software to practice graphing the relationship 
between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. 
 
Materials: Student Provides: 3 Box-like objects (block, thick book, shoebox, etc.) 
 2 Pencils or pens 
 Chair or step stool 
 5 Circular objects of different size (cups, plates, etc.) 
 Computer and spreadsheet program 
 A lab partner (optional) 
 
 From LabPaq: Stopwatch Meter tape 
 Metric ruler String 
 Metal bolt 10-g Spring scale 
 500-g Scale (optional) Graduated cylinder 
 
 
Discussion and Review: Physics is a quantitative experimental science and is based 
on measurement. In the physics laboratory it is important to know how to measure 
fundamental quantities like length, mass, and time with precision and accuracy. 
 
In this experiment you will learn the techniques for using several pieces of laboratory 
equipment and become familiar with the units of measurements most frequently used in 
laboratory work. Scientific measurements are normally carried out using metric units: 
 
LENGTH: The meter (m) is the basic SI (Systeme International) unit of length. A meter is 
just a little longer than the American yard. 
 
 1 in = 2.54 cm 1000 m = 1 km 
 
 1 km = 0.621 mi 1 m = 100 cm 
 
 1 m = 1.09 yd 1 m = 1000 mm 
 
 1 m = 3.281 ft 1 cm = 10 mm 
 Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 
 
 37
VOLUME: The basic unit of volume used in the chemistry lab is the liter (L), which is 
slightly larger than an American quart. Related to the liter is the milliliter (mL), which is 
one-thousandth of a liter (0.001 L). A milliliter is equal to the volume of a cube that 
measures 1 cm on each side. Since the volume of a cube is equal to the length times 
the width times the height, the volume of a cube that measures 1 cm on each side is 
equal to 1 cm3

 
1 L = 1000 ml = 1000 cm3
 
1 mL = 1 cm3
 1 L = 1.06 qt 
 
MASS: The kilogram (kg) is the SI unit of mass and equals about 2.2 American pounds. 
In the laboratory we usually work with the gram (g), which represents one-thousandth of 
a kilogram and with the milligram (mg), which equals one-thousandth of a gram. 
1 kg = 1000 g 1 lb = 454 g 
1 g = 1000 mg 1 kg = 2.20 lb 
 
It is important to note that mass and weight are not the same thing! Mass is a quantity of 
matter while weight refers to the gravitational force of attraction exerted upon an object. 
In the laboratory we will only be concerned with mass measurement and the verb 
“weigh” is only used to instruct the student to determine the mass of an object. 
 
DENSITY: The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The densities of 
liquids are usually reported in grams per milliliter (g/mL) and the densities of solids are 
usually reported in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cc or g/cm3
). The density of water is 1 
g/ml; thus the mass of one liter of water is one kilogram. Substances with densities less 
than 1 g/ml will float on water. 
 
 d = m 
 V 
 
 Example Densities: Water = 1 g/ml Aluminum = 2.70 g/cc 
 Iron = 7.85 g/cc Lead = 11.35 g/cc Gold = 19.30 g/cc 
 
Density can be determined by the water displacement method or by using Archimedes’ 
Principle. In the water displacement method we place an object into a graduated 
cylinder with a known volume of water. The object in the graduated cylinder will displace 
an equal volume of water to its own volume. That means we simply subtract the original 
water level from the new water level and the difference represents the volume of the 
object. 
 
Archimedes’ Principle states that a floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its 
own weight, and the weight of a submerged object is diminished by the weight of the 
displaced fluid. That means if we weigh an object in air and water we can use the 
following relationship to determine its density: 
 
M obj = ? obj or d = M air/(M air – M water) 
M lost ? fluid Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 
 
 38
 
The density of an object is thus obtained by dividing its mass in air by the difference of 
its mass in air and its mass in water. 
 
The quality of your physics lab work depends mainly on how accurately you use 
measuring tools. In this experiment you will use your hand, a meter tape, and a metric 
ruler to make length measurements. You will use a graduated cylinder to measure 
volume via water displacement and a spring scale to determine mass. For basic time 
measurements you will use a stopwatch. 
 
All measurements have some degree of uncertainty. For example, your watch is 
seldom perfectly on time but runs a little fast or slow. A ruler is not perfectly accurate. It 
may be stamped imperfectly or humidity and temperature may affect it by expanding or 
contracting the wood or metal and distorting the scale. Since uncertainty is unavoidable, 
a physicist must understand how uncertainty affects the outcome of an experiment. 
 
No measurement is complete without the units of measurement. Measurements and 
calculations must always include the units! 
 
 
PROCEDURES: 
 
1. Estimation of Various Measurements: 
 
A. Length: 
 
1. Estimate the length of a meter by putting a pen or pencil at one end of a table 
and then placing a second pen or pencil about one meter away from the first. 
 
2. Using your meter tape measure the actual length of your meter estimate. 
 
3. Record the length of your meter estimate. 
 
4. Calculate the percent error of your estimated meter from the actual meter. 
B. Time: 
 
1. Estimate a 30 second time period while someone else times you using a 
stopwatch. (If you don’t have a partner, you can do this experiment by closing 
your eyes; start the stopwatch and stop it when you think 30 seconds have 
elapsed.) 
 
2. Record the actual time of your estimate. 
 
3. Calculate the percent error of the estimate to the actual time. 
 
 Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 
 
 39
C. Mass: 
 
1. Pick up a small paperback book or similar small object and estimate its mass. 
 
2. Determine the actual mass of the object using your 500-g spring balance. 
 
3. Record the estimated mass and the actual mass and calculate the percent 
error. 
Question: Why is it important for you to have a “feel” for length, time, and mass? 
 
2. Measurements Using Instruments of Various Degrees of Precision: For 
recording data set up data tables for each of the three items you will measure below. 
Description of Object Measured: Measurement of your hand span: ________ cm 
 Length Width Height Volume 
Hand (hand units) 
Hand (cm) 
Ruler 
Meter tape 
 
A. Your hand: 
 
1. Spread out your hand and measure the distance from the tip of your thumb to 
the tip of your little finger in centimeters. 
 
2. Record this measurement on your data sheet. 
 
3. Now use your hand to measure the length, width, and height of three 
rectangular items such as small books, shoeboxes, or similar. The objects 
should weigh less than 500 g, so you can also determine the mass if you 
wish. 
 
4. Record these measurements in hand units on your data sheet. 
 
B. Metric ruler and meter tape: 
 
1. Use the metric ruler to measure the length, width, and height of the same 
objects from Step A and record the measurements in centimeters. Be sure to 
place the markings on the ruler directly against the object to minimize the 
possibility for error. Since the ends of the rulers are often worn a bit, start your 
measurements at the one centimeter mark, then count the units rather than 
relying on the numbers marked on the ruler. 
 
2. Record your measurements to the nearest half millimeter. All your 
measurements should have two places to the right of the decimal point and 
thus end with either a 5 or a 0, i.e., 12.35 centimeters or 9.60 cm. 
 Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 
 
 40
3. Measure the length, width, and height of the box with the meter tape. 
 
4. Record all measurements on your data sheet. Units should be in centimeters 
and recorded to the nearest half millimeter as before. 
 
C. Calculations: 
 
1. Convert the hand units to centimeters and record. 
 
2. Find the volume of the object using the three different sets of measurements. 
Remember, the volume of a rectangular box is: v=length x width x height. You 
must show the units, cubic centimeters, when recording calculated volume. 
 
Questions: 
 
A. Can you think of an occasion when it would be adequate to use your “hand” 
measurement? 
 
B. What would happen to your volume calculations if the length, width and height 
measurements were off a little? 
 
3. Graphing data and the determination of ?: 
 
A. Select five circular objects of different sizes, such as an AAA battery, a crew cap 
from a soft drink bottle, the cardboard center of a paper towel roll, cups of various 
sizes, plates of various sizes, etc. 
 
B. Using the metric ruler or meter tape measure the diameter, d, in centimeters to 
two decimal points and record. 
 
C. Using the meter tape measure the circumference, C, in centimeters of each 
object to two decimal points and record. 
 
D. Graph C vs. d using a computer spreadsheet program. 
 
E. Use the linear fit command from the menu to plot a best-fit line. Remember, the 
equation for the slope of the line is, y = mx + b, where the slope is m. 
 
F. What is the slope of the line? What does it represent? 
 
G. Calculate the percent error of your value from the true value. 
 
4. Density Measurements: Determine the density of q metal bolt (or any irregular 
metal object) by the water-displacement method: 
 
A. Half-fill the graduated cylinder and record the volume of the water without the 
object. Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 
 
 41
 
B. Place the metal bolt into the graduated cylinder and record the new volume. The 
difference between the two volumes represents the volume of the bolt or object. 
 
C. Tie a string around the metal bolt and attach the string to the bottom of the 10-g 
spring scale so that the bolt hangs down about 5 cm. Record the bolt’s mass in 
air. 
 
5. Determine the density using Archimedes’ Principle: 
 
A. Partially fill a cup with water. 
 
B. While holding the top of the 10-g spring scale, suspend the metal bolt hanging 
from a string into the partially filled cup of water. Make sure that the bolt doesn’t 
touch the sides or bottom of the cup. 
 
C. Read the 10-g spring scale. This is the bolt’s mass in water. Record it. 
 
D. Subtract the bolt’s mass in water from the bolt’s mass in air (recorded in 4.C 
above). This is the apparent mass lost in water. 
 
E. To calculate density, divide the bolt’s mass in air by the bolt’s apparent mass 
lost. 
 
Question: Which of the two volume determinations will be more accurate? Why? 
 
6. Time measurements: 
 
A. Measure and mark a vertical distance of two meters from the floor up. 
 
B. Stand on a chair and hold a small box or similar object at the marked height in 
one hand and the stopwatch in the other hand. 
 
C. Start your stopwatch at the same instant you release the object and stop the 
watch when you hear the box hit the floor. Record the time to the nearest tenth 
second. Repeat three times. Units will be seconds. If you have an assistant, have 
the assistant time you while you drop the box – use verbal commands like “start” 
or “now” to synchronize the dropping and timing. 
 
D. Find the average drop time of the object and record it in seconds. 
 
 
 Drop time (seconds) 
Trial 1 
Trial 2 
Trial 3 Average = Hands-On Labs SM-1 Lab Manual 
 
 42
 
E. Repeat this experiment with your eyes closed. 
 
 Drop time (seconds) 
Trial 1 
Trial 2 
Trial 3 Average = 
 
 
Question: Do you think the average drop time is more accurate than any of the 
individual drop times? Sometimes many trials are run and recorded. Then the 
highest and lowest data points are disregarded when taking the average. Could this 
technique help in this experiment? How? 
 
 
NOTE: Do not discard your unused string. 
It will be used again in a later experiment.
