Analysis of Social Movement

Analysis of Social Movement
1. Background.

The impetus for this project is to make you especially familiar with one particular movement such that you can be one of the class experts on the particularities of that movement as the quarter unfolds. This should be especially helpful as we work through social movement theories and seek evidence to support or refute those theories.

2. The book review.

In writing the review, students should demonstrate a careful reading of the text and consider how their specific case study might be used in order to generalize to the dynamics of social movements in general. The book review, therefore, should be not just an overview of the book, but should discuss, in as much detail as space permits, how this case study relates to the questions raised below. The paper should be written in a standard 12-pt. font with 1-inch margins all around. The review must be between 6-7 pages in length, or approximately 1500-1750 words. It goes without saying that copying or paraphrasing an existing review of the book will be considered plagiarism and treated accordingly; the same goes for collaboration between students in the course, as this is a solo (not collaborative) assignment.

3. Selecting a book.

Munson, Ziad W. 2008. The Making of Pro-Life Activists: How Social Movement Mobilization Works. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
4. Review content.

The review should begin with the bibliographic information and a brief (less than two pages) description of the content of the book. The dominant portion of the review should address the below issues. Since these are broad issues, and one could not possibly address all of these issues in a single review, I leave it up to you to choose the questions that are most relevant to the movement you are studying.

A. How did external factors influence the movement?
-For example, did the movement depend upon another group for support? What role did the state play in facilitating or repressing the movement? Did the movement arise in order to express specific grievances? Did other movements influence this movement? Were there any major historical events that shaped the movement?

B. How important were internal factors for this movement?
– For example, what types of organizational form(s) were most prevalent in the movement and what consequences did this have for the movement? How were leaders chosen in the movement and what power did they have compared to other participants? What significance did class, race, gender, sexual orientation, or other axes of difference have for this movement?

C. To what extent were culture and identity important for this movement?
– For example, were the goals of the movement challenging of the larger culture or supportive of it? What role did cultural or identity factors play in the movement?s attempts to recruit
participants? Did participants have a sense of larger purpose in their participation? Was the movement successful in framing its goals, ideals, and practices to other (outside) groups?

D. Other questions such as: What types of tactics did the movement employ (and were some more successful than others? If so, why)? What was the response of the state and/or other institutions that the movement targeted? Was the movement successful (both in terms of its self-defined goals and also in the opinion of the author)? What were the consequences of the movement?s success or failure for the internal structure of the movement?

All reviews should describe the methodology used by the author in studying this movement. What were their sources: interviews with participants? Participant observation? Newspaper records? Archival data?

Managing Healthcare Professionals: Mini-Case Studies

Respond to each of the scenarios below. Please label your mini-cases. Your response may be in a word document format or in a power point format. Cover all of the issues in each case you and use good writing and presentation techniques and address the issue(s) in detail. Answer in bullet format where possible

1. You are a new administrator at Jonestown Medical Center. You receive a telephone call from the nurse manager of the emergency room. Dr. Smith, an emergency room physician who is an employee of your hospital, has just reported for duty. The nurse manager suspects that Dr. Smith is intoxicated. What do you do? You are the practice manager of Docs R Us, Ltd., a large multi-specialty medical practice employing over 100 physicians. You are conducting a random review of billing for doctors in the practice and you discover that one of the internists in your group who treats mostly Medicare recipients has been checking off the wrong code for her procedures on the billing form. The procedures on the patient record do not match the billing form codes. You pull up her files for the past 3 months and find a pattern of upcoding. When you meet with her to review this miscoding, she becomes very defensive and angry. What do you do?
2.You are the assistant director of the hospital medical staff office at The Rural Outreach Community Hospital in a tiny town in Arkansas. It is your job to verify physician credentials for staff privileges. Your hospital receives an application from a physician for staff privileges. On his application it states that he graduated from medical school in El Salvador. When you call to verify this, you are told that the medical school burned down 2 years ago and all the records were destroyed. What do you do?
This is an exercise in your management abilities and knowledge.

Empirical Methods in Communication

Empirical Methods in Communication

Briefly answer five essay questions that require you to dissect an experiment by Palomares and Lee, that was published in a 2010 issues of the Journal of Language and Social Psychology. Your answers must be typed and double spaced. Provide a 1½ inch margin on all sides of the page for written comments. Your paper must absolutely not be longer than 1000 words; that is about 200 words per question. All word processors have a word count feature. Please provide the word count of your essay (excluding your name and other identifying information).
Questions
1. Palomares and Lee used a 2x2x2 between-subjects factorial design. (This kind of design
is referred to as “between-subjects” because each research participant was assigned to
only one experimental condition.) Explain why this design was necessitated by the
research hypothesis.
2. Experimental control is a critical feature of any experiment. If we wish to know the effects
of independent variables on dependent variables we must “hold constant” other variables
that would make causal inference challenging. What efforts were taken in this experiment
to achieve a high level of experimental control?
3. What efforts were made to determine if the manipulations of the independent variables
were valid?
4. Did this experiment measure any potential mediating variables? If so, what were these
variables? If no, why not?
5. The generalizeability of every experiment has limitations, and this study is no exception.
Briefly describe how our ability to generalize from the findings obtained are limited.
Evaluation
Your answers to these five questions will be equally weighted. Evaluation is based on the
thoughtfulness of your response and the quality of your writing..

TASK 1. Identify and describe a specific area of your practice in which you have a particular interest or where there is uncertainty/differing opinions about the way care should be provided. Access any existing organisational or health department policy/policies that govern/s the described area of practice. Briefly describe the policy. If there are no existing policies in this area, describe your search to find the policies and suggest reasons why a policy does not exist.

TASK 2. Develop a specific searchable question using the PICO format or similar based on the area of practice described in task 1 and covered by your identified policy (if applicable). Conduct a search for up to 3 examples of high level evidence to answer your question. Succinctly describe your search process and provide justification of the resources that you chose to search and the evidence selected. I have tried to done the research. You can have a look as start point

TASK 3. Compare and contrast the answer to your question in the high level evidence to the information contained in the policy selected from your area of practice or (if no policy was obtained) the current practices in this area. Your discussion should highlight the level of evidence or strength of the recommendations and any differences (any conflicts) that exist between the evidence based recommendations and your existing policy or practices.

TASK 4. Discuss the barriers that may exist in your specific clinical setting if there was a need to change practice based on the high level recommendations and how these barriers may be overcome and/or strategies that exist to promote EBP within your practice setting.
