Describe the crisis-responding roles of national and international organizations for each type of crisis you discussed above.

Application: Types of Crises/Disasters
What is a crisis? Crisis definition is fundamental to understanding types of crises or disasters. The definitions of crises and types of disasters are numerous. Most definitions involve perception and the loss of resources for dealing with a situation. Types of disasters include natural, man-made, organizational, and personal crises. By understanding the definition of crisis you will broaden your understanding of the types of disasters.
To prepare for this assignment:

Review Chapter 1 in both of your course texts, Crisis Intervention Strategies and Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, to understand the interplay of crisis definition and types of crises.
Think about a crisis you have experienced and how this fits into a definition of crisis and a type(s) of crisis(es).
Think about a crisis of which you are aware and consider how crisis perception and loss of resources for dealing with a crisis impact psychological responses and/or reactions to the situation.
Think about various types of crises (e.g., natural disasters, school/workplace shootings, terrorism, military trauma, etc.) and their similarities and differences.
Review Dr. Baron’s video program, “On the Road to . . . Peace of Mind,” and focus on the importance of training the trainers about responding to crisis planning with an understanding of local culture and traditions in mind. Then note the types of crises and disasters the training group might respond to. (Note: When Dr. Baron is talking about counselors in this particular film, she is referencing local lay people and not fully-trained counselors such as you and your colleagues.)
Review Dr. Baggerly’s video program, “Disaster Mental Health and Crisis Stabilization for Children” and focus on the importance of training the trainers who work with children rather than adults. Then note the types of crises and disasters the training group might respond to.
Review the various crisis-responding roles of national and international organizations you wrote about in this week’s Discussion and how these roles might differ depending on the type of crisis.

The assignment: (4–6 pages)

Compare types of crises (e.g., natural disasters, school/workplace shootings, terrorism, military trauma, etc.), making sure to outline their similarities and differences.
Describe the crisis-responding roles of national and international organizations for each type of crisis you discussed above.
Then briefly describe any insights and/or conclusions you gained from completing this assignment.

What do you think happens to Milkman Dead? Is there justice in the way the story ends?

Type of paperEssay (Any Type)
SubjectEnglish
Number of pages3
Format of citationMLA
Number of cited resources3
Type of serviceWriting

(3-4 double-spaced typed pages, 900-1200 words)—Include 3-4 quotations from the text(s). Use evidence from the text to support your thesis. Choose one of the following topics: 1) Looking closely at pp. 322＝333 in Chapters 14-15, track Milkman’s changing feelings about his flying with Solomon. How does the story of Solomon empower Milkman? How does the story make him regretful about his own choices? 2)How have Macon Dead’s values prevented Milkman from understanding himself and others—and from taking flight? 3) How does Milkman make amends for the wrongs he has done? How does he give Pilate closure on her own story? See especially Chapter 15, p.333. 4) Milkman says of Pilate, “Without ever leaving the ground, she could fly” (336). What gives Pilate this transcendent ability? 5) Song of Solomon begins and ends with images of flight. The ending of the novel is purposely ambiguous and open-ended. Read the final passage at the end of Chapter 15. What do you think happens to Milkman Dead? Is there justice in the way the story ends? How would you characterize the mood of the conclusion: is it uplifting and/or tragic?

Describe how you think the research in the article is useful

All models are wrong. Some models are useful.—George E. P. Box (1919–2013)Statistician
Describing and explaining social phenomena is a complex task. Box’s quote speaks to the point that it is a near impossible undertaking to fully explain such systems—physical or social—using a set of models. Yet even though these models contain some error, the models nevertheless assist with illuminating how the world works and advancing social change.
The competent quantitative researcher understands the balance between making statements related to theoretical understanding of relationships and recognizing that our social systems are of such complexity that we will always have some error. The key, for the rigorous researcher, is recognizing and mitigating the error as much as possible.
As a graduate student and consumer of research, you must recognize the error that might be present within your research and the research of others.
To prepare for this Discussion:

Use the Walden Library Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources to search for and select a quantitative article that interests you and that has social change implications.
As you read the article, reflect on George Box’s quote in the introduction for this Discussion.
For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Independent and Dependent Variables, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.

Post a very brief description (1–3 sentences) of the article you found and address the following:

Describe how you think the research in the article is useful (e.g., what population is it helping? What problem is it solving?).
Using Y=f(X) +E notation, identify the independent and dependent variables.
How might the research models presented be wrong? What types of error might be present in the reported research?

Is the legal system we have in the United States fair for both parties? Consider both the civil and criminal system.

Assignment #1
Write an approximately 2 page essay (800 words) using at least 2 outside resources on the court/legal process in the United States. This assignment is to show your critical thinking skills. Some information you might want to include to earn points:• Is the legal system we have in the United States fair for both parties? Consider both the civil and criminal system.•Could you design a better system?•Give one example of a case in which you think the verdict was not representative of the facts presented? Why do you think that happened? Do you agree that it “should” happen in a working legal system? This should not be based on emotion. It should be based on process.You may not use a case older than 25 years, The OJ Simpson or Casey Anthony case. •Ensure you use terms of things that occur in the court process. For example “I think the legal system is inherently unfair because it requires parties to write extensive pleadings thus necessitating the need for attorneys. This effectively bars access to the courts for many indigent Plaintiffs. This is not what the Founders had in mind . . . “•Do not write a paper merely quoting a source’s opinion. You will be graded on content, support, organization, grammar, and cohesiveness. You must use APA formatting and citation.
