You are not allowed to yell “fire!” in a movie theater

You are not allowed to yell “Fire!” in a movie theater—it is not protected speech—and yet people can hurl insults at you with almost no fear of prosecution. They are stating their opinion, protected by the First Amendment and free speech. This dilemma raises the critical question: Where do we draw the line?

In this Discussion, you will consider how “free” speech is today, how social media has played a role, and what we should be doing to promote, or protect, our speech.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Read the Communication Program Discussion Guidelines.
• Watch Freedom of Speech: Crash Course Government and Politics #25.
• Watch Freedom of Speech.
• Read “6 Surprising Exceptions to Freedom of Speech.”  

By Day 4

Post a response that addresses the following questions:

• How “free” do you believe your speech is today? 
• How has social media changed the conversation surrounding free speech? What problems does this bring? 
• Should we be doing more, less or the same to regulate speech? Why?

Develop an email to the CEO of CommonGood Health Care asking for the funding you desire for your department/facility.

Healthcare Administration

In this scenario, everyone in class works for CommonGood Health Care, a community-based health care campus comprised of a health care clinic, hospital, skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility, Alzheimer’s House, and an inpatient chemical dependency facility.

As you can imagine, the CEO receives numerous requests, oftentimes financial, from facility directors and department managers. Some of the most common requests include:

• The nursing department always wants the latest and greatest equipment
• The dietary department keeps asking money for new utensils
• The maintenance department is always running out of tools
• The business office wants money to update the billing system
• The chemical dependency facility wants its own exercise facility
• The quality assurance department keeps asking money for training
• The Alzheimer’s House keeps requesting money for games and activities

In this scenario, you are a facility director (Clinic Director, Hospital Administrator, Nursing Home Administrator, Assisted Living Executive Director, Alzheimer’s House Manager, or Licensed Alcohol and Dependency Counselor) or a department manager (Maintenance Director, Social Service Director, Activities Director, Nursing Director, etc.) asking for money from your CEO for a legitimate expense within your department.

You can either use one of the examples above or create one of your own. The request should be a legitimate expense for a proposed purchase or initiative that you believe will benefit the department and the organization.

In your initial reply, develop an email to the CEO of CommonGood Health Care asking for the funding you desire for your department/facility. Be sure to substantiate your expenses and the legitimate reasoning for the request. This is your opportunity to persuade your executive leader to support your initiative.

Create a 350- to 525-word, guide that explains the use of backward design in lesson planning.

One popular approach to lesson planning for all levels of education is backward design or the backward planning approach. The idea behind backward design/backward planning is that you teach and plan toward the end goal, or what you want the students to be able to know or do. This typically ensures that the content being taught stays focused and more organized, thus promoting better understanding for the students.

*If you are not familiar with the Backward Design or Backward Mapping, I encourage you to go to YouTube and look up videos on these concepts. 

reinforces the learning of backward design and provides an opportunity to develop a planning template for future use.

Part 1: Backward Design Guide

• Explanation
• Interpretation
• Application
• Perspective

One of your jobs in working as a Victims’ Witness Assistant is to help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors involved in domestic violence and child abuse.

Assignment Details

The prosecutor is getting feedback from local law enforcement officers explaining that they are discouraged from making arrests in cases of domestic violence and child abuse. They claim that they have been neither making arrests in domestic violence situations nor arresting both parties when they go out on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the abusers, and children who get removed from the homes where they have been abused often return after removal. These occurrences have been especially demoralizing to law enforcement.

One of your jobs in working as a Victims’ Witness Assistant is to help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors involved in domestic violence and child abuse. The prosecutor’s office has decided that you should present each of the following topics for the next training session:

  • How to best help a victim
  • What laws protect victims, including the use of protection orders
  • Why victims return to abusers
  • Length of time it may take to stay away from their abusers
• Arrests
  • The legal standard that is needed to make an arrest in a domestic violence case
  • What evidence should be collected at the arrest
  • Whether dual arrests are effective law enforcement
  • How to assist domestic violence victims
    • Reluctant victims
    • Help for victims

Topic 2 Child Abuse: Your goal will be to educate law enforcement about the dynamics of abuse and neglect cases. Include the following topics:

• Signs of child abuse and categories (e.g., physical, sexual, and emotional)
• Difference between the terms abuse and neglect
  • Legal description of neglect
• Use of guardian ad litem
