On October 26, a Diamond Country Life Insurance agent went to the house of Dedee and Bob Hooper. He persuaded the Hoopers to buy a life insurance policy and accepted a check for $1,600. On his way out the door, he gave the Hoopers a “conditional receipt for medical policy,” dated that day. The form stated that the Hoopers would have a valid life insurance policy with Diamond Country Life, effective October 26, but only when all conditions were met. The most important of these conditions was that the Diamond Country Life home office accept the Hoopers as medical risks after the company scheduled a medical examination. The Hoopers were pleased with the new policy and glad that it was effective that same day.Does the clause making the policy effective only after a medical examination violate public policy? Explain What other basis for a lawsuit might Dedee have against the insurance company? Explain

The Case of the Customer Who Died to Soon
Facts:
On October 26, a Diamond Country Life Insurance agent went to the house of Dedee and Bob Hooper. He persuaded the Hoopers to buy a life insurance policy and accepted a check for $1,600. On his way out the door, he gave the Hoopers a “conditional receipt for medical policy,” dated that day. The form stated that the Hoopers would have a valid life insurance policy with Diamond Country Life, effective October 26, but only when all conditions were met. The most important of these conditions was that the Diamond Country Life home office accept the Hoopers as medical risks after the company scheduled a medical examination.

What other basis for a lawsuit might Dedee have against the insurance company? Explain
Bob died in a car accident three weeks later. Diamond Country Life declined the Hoopers as medical risks and refused to issue a policy. Dedee Hooper sued. Diamond Country Life pointed out that medical approval was a condition to being covered. In other words, the company argued that the policy would be effective as of October 26, but only if it later decided to make the policy effective. It had not made that decision as of the date of Bob’s death.
At Trial
Plaintiff argued that the policy was a scam. The so called “conditional receipt for medical policy” is designed to trick customers and then steal their money. The company leads people to believe they are covered as of the day they write the check. But they aren’t covered until much later, when the insurer gets around to deciding the applicant’s medical status.
The company gets the customer’s money right away and gives nothing in exchange. If the company, after taking its time, decides the applicant is not medically fit, it returns the money, having used it for weeks or even months to earn interest. If, on the other hand, the insurance company decides the applicant is a good bet, it then issues the policy effective for weeks or months in the past, when coverage is of no use. No one can die retroactively. The company is being paid for a period during which it had no risk.
Defendant, Diamond Country Life, argued that it would be impracticable for Diamond Country Life to issue life insurance policies without doing a medical check. That is the road to bankruptcy and would mean that no one could obtain this valuable coverage. They further argued that they do a medical inquiry as quickly as possible as it is in their interest to get the policy decided one way or the other.
The policy clearly stated that coverage was effective only when approved by the home office, after all inquiries were made. The Hoopers knew that as well as the agent. If they were covered immediately, why would the company do a medical check?

After reading Chapter 11 and reviewing the Case of the Drew Family, thoroughly answer the questions posed below regarding the Case of the Drew Family. Provide headers for each section. BOOK LINK https://plus.pearson.com/home What is the difference between solution-focused therapy and providing solutions to clients’ problems? What solution-focused strategies did the consultant use to elicit the strengths in the Drew Family?

Chapter 11 provides information related to Solution-Focused Therapy and how to transition clients from feeling hopeless to hopeful. A big part of the process includes exception-finding questions, miracle questions, and scaling questions. These can be used to not only gather information but to create and identify goals. Goals must be specific and achievable.
For this assignment, we will review this therapeutic intervention from a family perspective using the Case of the Drew Family. While therapy appointments being with a problem(s) related to a specific individual, we do not exist in a vacuum. As we have learned from Family/Systems Theory, our environment and family systems play an important role in shaping who we are and how we conduct ourselves.
As you can see from the Case of the Drew Family, Donald might be the “reason” for the visit, but the entire family plays a role that is important to be examined. This assignment will require you to (1) answer questions about the Drew Family and (2) practice scaling questions skill sets with someone.

As a student of cyberpsychology, identify at least one but no more than 3 of these rules that seem most pertinent to you as a developing researcher; ? Discuss why these are most important, above and beyond the other points mentioned; ? How practical is it for you—as a student of psychology and not computer science—to incorporate big data analysis into your own research

The need for direction in big data research is an exigency that becomes more complex as time moves forward. The granular information in big data research requires an interdisciplinary approach for the social and computer scientist as both must familiarize themselves with courses of study not provided in many curriculums. Any researcher engaging with human subjects has an ethical responsibility to minimize potential harm while pursuing scientific goals. Read Ten Simple Rules for Big Data Research – Zook et al – 10 simple rules for responsible big data research (2017) and write a 2-3 page paper that reflects the following questions: ? As a student of cyberpsychology, identify at least one but no more than 3 of these rules that seem most pertinent to you as a developing researcher; ? Discuss why these are most important, above and beyond the other points mentioned; ?
