Moral Development in School-Age Children

counselling

· Moral Development in School-Age Children
The readings in this unit expand upon the concepts related to school-age children, particularly in regard to moral development, with insights from the varied specializations within counseling.
Your text discusses moral development on pages 249–261 and provides some situations encountered by children in this age group that would create moral dilemmas within their lives. Based on this section of Chapter 7, develop a situation that would include a moral dilemma that is likely to be faced by an individual in early school age or middle childhood with whom you might be working in a counseling setting.
The moral dilemma can be fictional or nonfictional. In your post, describe how Kohlberg would describe the stage of moral development in the situation you have created. Additionally, discuss one other theorist or theory (learning theory, cognitive developmental theory, psychoanalytic theory, or object relations theory) and how the theorist or theory explains the stage of moral development in your situation.
According to these theorists, is the child at an age-appropriate stage? What factors would each theorist use to assess moral development in this situation?
Response Guidelines
Read the initial posts of your peers and respond substantively to at least one learner whose post resonates with you. Your response should be at least 100 words.
In your response, address the following:
· Is the moral dilemma appropriate for the age of the child?
· Has your fellow learner used Kohlberg theory appropriately?
· Do you agree with your peer that the child is or is not at an age-appropriate stage? Explain.

applying a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario

When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it? This assignment asks you to apply a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario. You will write a paper that presents a synthesis of your ideas about solving the problem using this systematic approach. As Voltaire said, “No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.”
Scenario 1: You have worked at your company for eleven (11) years. You have returned to college to earn a Bachelor’s degree in order to increase your chances for a promotion. You are nearly finished with your degree, when a supervisor’s position in a competing company becomes available in another state. The start date is in two (2) weeks, during your final exam period for your courses. The position offers a $15,000 per year salary increase, a car allowance, and relocation expenses. Your former supervisor works for the company and is recommending you for the position based on your outstanding job performance; if you want the job, it’s yours. All of the other supervisors at this level in the company have Master’s degrees, so you know that you would be expected to earn your Bachelor’s degree and continue on to a Master’s degree. Your present company offers tuition reimbursement, but the new company does not.
 
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Define the problem in the scenario that you have chosen.
2. Analyze the problem in the scenario.
3. Generate options for solving the problem in the scenario.
4. Evaluate the options for solving the problem.
5. Decide on the best option for solving the problem.
6. Explain how you will implement the decision made and reflect on whether this option was the most effective.
The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

  • Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
  • Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
  • Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

– BUSINESS M6, D1 RISK MANAGEMENT SCENARIO:
Read the following scenario and provide your thoughts on how the company should proceed:
“You are a project manager for ABC Company. The company wants to purchase new equipment, train employees on the equipment, and then fully integrate this equipment into the company’s day-to-day processes. You developed a plan that detailed how and when the equipment will be obtained, the timeframe for training employees, and how the equipment will be fully integrated. The equipment arrived on the scheduled date, but you soon realized you forgot to include a plan that outlines how employees will be trained on the equipment. Training is scheduled to start in three days, but without a plan you do not know what to teach the employees about the equipment. The plan has already been initiated and time and resources have already used.”
For this discussion, you will need to compose a substantive post that details a simple solution for the company’s problem. The goal of the company is not to completely abandon the project as they have already put in time and resources. After identifying the solution, consider how you plan to implement it. Since you are a manager you need to put your solution into action.
Reply to at least two of your peers’ initial threads. Debate the initial argument and evidence in a small group of three.

  1. Compose a response to either support or refute the initial entry. You don’t have to agree with the side you write about; you just need to demonstrate critical thinking.
  2. There should be only one response per thread to support and one response per thread to refute the initial solution. If a side has already been argued, choose another side or another thread.

Once there are at least two perspectives written about each initial thread, you can continue to explore other perspectives in each of your small groups.
Things to Remember!

  1. Post a 2 to 4 paragraph discussion post (300 words minimum). Justify your explanations by including in-text citations and references in APA format as applicable.

– M6, A1 PROCESS IMPROVEMENT PLAN: RISK MANAGEMENT:
At this point you have identified the organization and the deficient process, created a proposal for a new process, and determined the needed resources and your budget. You will now conduct a risk assessment based on this information. What can go wrong when integrating the process? You might consider conflicts between stakeholders. Not everyone will agree with new process. Does your organization have a change management policy or process? If not, what is the risk of proceeding with integrating the new process? Consider this and more as you perform your risk assessment.
After identifying the risks, you should provide some details on how you plan to manage that risk. For instance, if the risk is a lack of a change management system, then you could provide a strategy to effectively implement the new process without a formal system.
This paper should:

  • Be 3 to 4 pages in length.
  • Be supported by research.
  • Identify the risks associated with the new process.
  • Include a plan to overcome these risks.
  • Include an explanation as to how you plan to use your chosen management theories in order to manage the identified risks of implementing the new process.

Consider the results that different theories have and whether or not your chosen theory has the most effective approach.
Consider reviewing the Health and Safety Executive website as it provides various examples of risk assessments.
Things to Remember!

  • Your paper should be a minimum of 3 pages, not counting a cover page or reference page.
  • Justify your research by including in-text citations and references.
  • Format following APA guidelines.

Compare and contrast Paper

Compare and contrast Paper

A compare/contrast paper that looks at how our environment and our genes compete to create who we are.There are many speculations as to how nature and nurture affect the overall development of the child.  This assignment will require for you to research material specific to nature and nurture and respond to what the material states, your beliefs, and not only to identifying their meaning, but to include a minimum of 4 examples for each.
Prompt:
Developmental science’s biggest and most enduring debate concerns the nature—nurture issue—the controversy over the relative contribution of genes and experience to the development of psychological traits and behavior.  Developmental psychologists explore the issue by asking, for example, how differences in intelligence, personality, and psychological disorders are influenced by heredity and by environment.  As a simple way to think about current views regarding this issue, remember this brief statement: Nurture works on what nature endows.  Our species is biologically endowed with an enormous capacity to learn and to adapt.  Moreover, every psychological event is simultaneously a biological event.
