According to James Surowiecki in the book “The Wisdom of Crowds:” When “Groups” are involved in making a decision they normally have better than “house odds,” which is 70% of getting it right without having 100% of the facts. What techniques have worked for you in forming groups to solve problems?

According to James Surowiecki in the book “The Wisdom of Crowds:” When “Groups” are involved in making a decision they normally have better than “house odds,” which is 70% of getting it right without having 100% of the facts. When groups make decisions they normally, and consistently hit at about 85 to 90% of the time getting the right answer. However, without the facts being available to any human it lowers the odds to a little over the 50-50 point.When considering working in groups, remember there is strength in harmony and like-mindedness: however, diversity facilitates “thinking outside the box.” “Groupthink” is an example of what occurs when conformity is attributed too much emphasis.

Enhanced interogation and ethics – Did Zero Dark Thirty change your perceptions about “enhanced interrogation techniques”? If so, how did they change?Regardless of the semantic question of whether waterboarding is a form of torture, the fact remains that its use presents us with serious ethical dilemmas. Is it ever morally acceptable to subject a prisoner to pain, duress, or humiliation? If so, what circumstances call for such drastic means?

Several recent American films have dealt with ethical issues in international situations and raise thorny questions for students of leadership ethics. One such film is Zero Dark Thirty. If you have not seen the film, you will probably want to watch it, but you can also get a synopsis of the plot on IMDb if you don’t mind spoilers. http://www.imdb.com/There is only one thread for both weeks in this discussion, but be sure you participate at least twice, once to post your own thoughts and once to respond to other students. Of course, if someone engages with you, you should also post a return response. Remember that ethical issues can raise conflicting points of view. It is fine to disagree with a post—we want to generate discussion—but always be respectful.Zero Dark ThirtyZero Dark Thirty is a fictional account of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and presents us with important ethical questions regarding the morality of torture (“enhanced interrogation techniques”) and the responsibilities of filmmakers to represent the truth.Please post your thoughts on the ethical issues raised by this film by responding to one or more of these questions:Ethical Issues and Discussion Questions1. Did Zero Dark Thirty change your perceptions about “enhanced interrogation techniques”? If so, how did they change? 2. Regardless of the semantic question of whether waterboarding is a form of torture, the fact remains that its use presents us with serious ethical dilemmas. Is it ever morally acceptable to subject a prisoner to pain, duress, or humiliation? If so, what circumstances call for such drastic means? 3. Moreover, if coercive modes of interrogation are ever permissible, where should we draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable interrogation methods, and what criteria should we use to establish that line? Who should have final say? 4. Do filmmakers have a moral responsibility not to misinform their audiences about important issues, or do their artistic licenses trump such concerns? 5. The film’s conflict is resolved by the assassination of Osama bin Laden. Should the U.S. government have done more to capture him alive? If avoidable, was this killing—and indeed, the creation of a “Kill List” of terrorists—ethical?Source: Ethics on Film: Discussion of “Zero Dark Thirty.” (2013) Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/education/002/film/reviews/0007.html

Data collection tool: reliability – Under the heading method and design in your research proposal regardless of the method/approach used qualitative, quantitative, or mix methods, you will need to discuss the data collection instrument (tool) you propose to use to gather data. Instrument is the general term that researchers use for a measurement device (survey, questionnaire, test, interview, observation, etc.). Discuss the instrument you intend to use in your research proposal and how you intend to address the instrument’s validity and reliability noting the different types of each.

Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.

Before the digital revolution, health information technology supplied very limited support for evidence-based practice. If nurses wanted to be informed about cutting-edge research, their best bet was to either subscribe to leading journals or make periodic trips to the library. With the establishment of research databases, however, nurses became empowered to learn about and facilitate interdisciplinary and translational research. Databases are just one example of how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.To prepare:· Read the following scenario from the text (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 506):Twelve-hour shifts are problematic for patient and nurse safety, and yet hospitals continue to keep the 12-hour shift schedule. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (Board on Health Care Services & Institute of Medicine, 2004) published a report that referred to studies as early as 1988 that discussed the negative effects of rotating shifts on intervention accuracy. Workers with 12-hour shifts realized more fatigue than workers on 8-hour shifts. In another study done in Turkey by Ilhan, Durukan, Aras, Turkcuoglu, and Aygun (2006), factors relating to increased risk for injury were age of 24 or less, less than 4 years of nursing experience, working in the surgical intensive care units, and working for more than 8 hours.· Consider how the resources identified in the scenario above could influence an organization’s practice.· Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.Post a description of your practice concern. Outline how you used health information technology to locate evidence-based practices that address this concern. Cite and include insights from the resources. Analyze how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.

ARGUMENTATIVE papers about a topic inspired by Pollan’s chapters we’ve read. You shouldn’t try to recreate his argument; instead, you are writing about an idea he mentions or a topic related to his work

This semester, you will write three related, ARGUMENTATIVE papers about a topic inspired by Pollan’s chapters we’ve read. You shouldn’t try to recreate his argument; instead, you are writing about an idea he mentions or a topic related to his work. Begin brainstorming such an idea.Your topic should span two shorter papers and a final which combines your first two essays.Generally, students will find themselves in one of two groups. 1) You may choose to write two shorter essays on different, but related, ideas. For the final, you will revise your thesis so it is comprehensive and combines both. 2) Another option is to write both essays with the same essential argument. In that case, you would combine everything into your final.In either case, you will write three independent, stand-alone essays with their own introductions, bodies, and conclusions. (No, you needn’t strictly follow a five paragraph essay format drilled into your mind during high school.) Along the way, you will revise your work and make it stronger in order to avoid copying for the final. While you are allowed to use the same material, you’ll find you need revision to make everything work.You MUST include Pollan in each paper. (You are also encouraged to read chapters not assigned for class readings.) The rest of your sources should be a well-diversified group of materials. That includes journals, full-length researched books, reference materials, quality Web sites, etc.PAPERS MUST BE NEW, ORIGINAL WORK. If you have a paper you’ve used in the past – even one that is closely related – you need to pick a new topic! All students should be starting at the same point (and, yes, it is technically possible to plagiarize yourself when using older work).– You have already written the first essay and now this week we are writing the second paper out of 3 and I have added an sample paper from the professor for a little help. There are paper checklist that you have to follow which is also been added. There are some lists of topics you have to avoid. I have also added the first essay and the sample one as well for you to look. 137793-137793-influencers-of-food-choices-final-docx.docx is the one you wrote earlier for the first paper.Topics to AvoidDo not write about the following topics:Fast foodObesityAnimal testingDiet and exerciseAnimals in captivityEnergy drinksSmoking or vapingAgricultural diversity (as argued in our sample paper)The following topics are, in general, too vague. If you have more specific environmental concerns, we can discuss more focused papers about environmental issues:Climate changeGenetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)*Your paper must be directly connected to Pollan. If your connection is not obvious, missing, or weak, I will not accept your paper.

The essay should have at least three sources of reference. The main source is the book Jonny Mad Dog
