Question

COMM 462: Field Notes

Identify a site of study for participant observation. Practice thick Question and self-reflexivity in your field notes. Include your research question at the top of the page.

Include the following three sections in your field notes: (Chiseri-Strater & Sunstein, 1997):

1. Thick Question of everything you can remember about the occasion you are writing about – a meal, a ritual, a meeting, a sequence of events, etc. While it is useful to focus primarily on things you did or observed which relate to the guiding research question, some amount of general information is also helpful. This information might help in writing a general Question of the site later, but it may also help to link related phenomena to one another or to point our useful research directions later.

Self-Reflection on what you learned of a personal nature. What was it like for you to be doing this research? What felt comfortable for you about being in this site and what felt uncomfortable? In what ways did you connect with informants, and in what ways didn’t you? While this is extremely important information, be especially careful to separate it from analysis.

Analysis of what you learned in the setting regarding your guiding question and other related points. This is how you will make links between the details described in section 2 above and the larger things you are learning about how culture works in this context. What themes can you begin to identify regarding your guiding question? What questions do you have to help focus your observation on subsequent visits? Can you begin to draw preliminary connections or potential conclusions based on what you learned?

QUESTION

Reflection

This reflection activity is comprised of two sections collectively totaling a minimum of 500 words. Complete your reflections by responding to all prompts. 

Exchange Across International Borders

The success of an economy in effectively employing the four factors of production determines how well that economy performs relative to its potential and relative to other economies. 

Address the following:

Evaluate non-monetary benefits that open trade has contributed to the world since the end of World War II. 

Provide at least 2 examples of the above benefits and explain why you believe each is important.

  • Analyze how changes to U.S. trade and tariff policies affected U.S. trade with other nations. 
  • Support your responses with recent (less than 2 years old) credible news sources. 
  • The Global Role of the US Economy

Consider that some politicians, labor unions, and special interest groups argue that U.S. trade deficits are harmful to the economy, and nations that run large trade surpluses with the United States are benefiting from unfair trade practices and agreements. These parties support increasing tariffs on imports and eliminating or rewriting trade agreements. 

Analyze 2 credible economists’ opinions on the effects of the 2 of following factors with respect to the total U.S. trade balance. Find 1 economist who is less concerned about trade deficits, who thinks they are less important or that they mean something else is good (U.S. consumers have more disposable income for example). Then find another economist who is more concerned, (he or she may see a trade deficit as having adverse employment effects, for example). Weigh in their different perspectives and state whether you agree or disagree with their assertions, providing the logic behind your thinking. The factors to analyze include:

WU Correlations Questions

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

A correlation coefficient numerically reflects the relationship between two variables. For example, imagine that you conduct a study on college students and find an inverse correlation between marijuana smoking (variable a) and grade point average (variable b), meaning that those who smoke marijuana tend to have lower GPAs than those who do not and the more marijuana one smokes, the lower the GPA. You might conclude that smoking more marijuana lowers students’ grades.

However, with a correlation, you do not know cause and effect. For example, in this scenario did getting poor grades lead to marijuana use—or did marijuana use lead to poor grades? Identifying a relationship between variables is not the same as understanding the cause and effect.

For this Discussion, you explain the function of correlations and how understanding correlations may help you better understand a population.

THE ROLE OF MENTORING AND TRUSTED ADVISORS IN PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

INTRODUCTION:

In a world where continuous growth is not just valued but essential for success, the role of mentors and trusted advisors becomes increasingly significant. This chapter highlights the indispensable value of mentorship and trusted advisory relationships in facilitating personal, career, spiritual, and intellectual growth. It underscores the importance of both seeking guidance and providing it, illustrating how these relationships fulfill our basic human needs for connection, growth, and mutual success.

DISCUSSION QUESTION:

Reflect on a time when a mentor or trusted advisor had a profound impact on your personal or professional development. How did this relationship help you overcome challenges, clarify your vision, or achieve your goals? Contrast this with a time when you had to navigate your growth path alone. Based on your experiences and insights from the chapter, discuss the importance of mentorship and advisory relationships in achieving personal and professional success.

Post #1 Lisbeth.  For this reason, the statistical data it provides serves as feedback to design better health interventions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also helps improve information on health disparities. This fact has been demonstrated through developing clinical trials to approve new medications and devices (Darrow et al., 2020). In this sense, I am a sub-investigator at a medical center in Florida. We are conducting many clinical trials in different chronic diseases. These clinical trials also allow the collection of demographic and social information to more adequately describe the characteristics of individuals with acute and chronic diseases. This information would be helpful to engage in policy discussions with our legislators. Nurses and health professionals must be more involved in political decisions. Our contribution to developing better health policies is crucial to increasing the quality of life in our communities. 

Post #2 Steven, The Department of Health and Human Services created the Office of Minority Health (OMH) in 2010 and consists of AHRQ, CDC, CMS, FDA, HRSA, and SAMHSA. The goal of this alliance is to reduce or eliminate healthcare disparities amongst racial and ethnic minorities (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health [OMH], 2023). Health disparities are well documented in the United States, and it is critical to examine not only different groups but also subgroups within the groups (Field & Reingle Gonzalez, 2022). The organizations included in the Office of Minority Health provide needed research and statistics that could be used during correspondence with legislatures. There is no doubt that there is a lot of work that still needs to be done in this country.
