  Hypocrisies of Modernity: A Critical Discussion of Post Development Theory

  This paper provides a critical analysis on post-development theory- the Escobar’s use of NSM’s to define alternatives to development. It begins by outlining the major thrust of post-developmentalist thought in broad strokes and goes beyond superficiality to determine the complex relationship between many NSM’s and the global development project.

  Job Description for the UCCC Practice Manager Position

  $10.00

  Scenerio #1
  The majority of the class will be scenario driven:

  I am the Senior Administrator for a Community Based Family Physician’s Group called the UCF Community Care Center (UCCC). We are for-profit facility, Physician owned, complete with a board of trustees. The premise is that you have just been “hired” to be the Practice Manager. We are open Monday – Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. until noon. We have 4 Family Medicine Physicians, 2 Physicians Assistants (P.A’s) 1 Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP), 4 Registered Nurses, 1 Lab Technician, 1 Radiology Technician, 4 Medical Assistants and 2 Administrative personnel, 1 Medical Records Technician, 2 Business/Billing staff, one full time patient scheduler and one part time patient scheduler. We are located in a busy section of town and we operate in a 10,000 square foot facility. All full time employees are expected to work 40 hours per week and part time employees are required to work 24 hours per week.

  We are not doing well in many aspects of the business. Over the next 12 weeks, you will manage scenarios, derived from real work place events and incidents. You will be asked to draw from your knowledge base to provide solutions to problems, ideas for change management, financial analysis, HR management ethical issues and patient privacy issues to name a few.

  My personal experience in Healthcare Administration is quite extensive. I have:

  Managed a 24 hour MRI Center and was the hiring and firing authority for that center
  Been the Director of Human Resources
  Established a 60 bed hospital complete with Emergency Services and Operating Room Services for disaster relief efforts requiring the direct supervision of more than 200 staff members
  Been a Medical Logistics Professional
  Been a patient service representative
  Been a direct care provider
  Been a Practice Manager for the Director of Medical Services
  Been a Practice Manager for the Director of Surgical Services
  Written and reviewed more than 1500 performance appraisals
  Developed numerous business plans and strategic plans
  Worked as the Public Relations advisor and Community Liaison for an Ambulatory Care Center
  Been the COO of an Ambulatory Care center with 148 staff members and more than 9000 patients enrolled for care
  I list my professional credentials (these are real world, not derived for the scenario) as a foundation for my evaluation of your work. For many of the scenarios, you will find that there is no textbook answer. You will be evaluated by me (as your boss) based on my experiences, and your ability to provide logical insight to problem solving, putting your critical thinking skills to the test. For some issues, (Financial, IT, HIPAA) there will be “right” answers that I am looking for, and information to guide you to success will be included in the Modules as you progress through your 12 weeks of “employment”. You will need to approach each week as a “stand alone” event where these scenarios may be independent in nature and may or may not build on one another throughout the semester. You need to consider my feedback your performance appraisal.

  Assignment: Page 1
  To be clear on your roles and responsibilities, you asked to see a current Job Description.  Much to our surprise, there is not one in the files.  Based on what you know about the practice from the scenario, you need to create a Job Description for the UCCC Practice manager position.  Please remember to address ALL aspects of the position, as you will need to have an understanding of your authority as the next 3 months unfold.  No page limit and no prescribed format.  You may need to do some “looking around” to find a comprehensive Job Description for a Practice Manager.  Simply providing me with the information from the scenario will not be enough.  I need this by 11:59 on June 6th, 2015.

  Page 2
  In addition to knowing what your responsibilities are, you need to know what the rest of the professional (clinical) staff is capable of.

  Family Practice Physician
  Physician Assistant
  Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner
  Registered Nurse
  For the professional staff listed above, I need you to tell me:

  Minimum education Requirements
  Licensure
  Capabilities (what they are allowed to do)
  Restrictions (what they are not allowed to do)
  For this assignment, you can use a bullet format system.  For example—

  1. Family Practice Physician
  Education required:
  License Required:
  Allowed to:
  Not allowed to:
  2.  ARNP
  Education required:
  License Required:
  Allowed to:
  Not allowed to:
  Finally, for the Family Practice Physician, the ARNP and the PA, please tell me about the number of patients each of them should see.  This information can be derived from your understanding of patient enrollment or provider panels.
  Please make sure to include your resources for all of this information.

  Composite Personality Profile Summary

  $10.00

  For this exercise you will participate in three (3) personality assessments as outlined below.  Follow the links to each assessment.

  After you have completed each test, you will get a “score” from the website.  I want each of you to do all the tests, and then submit a summary of what you learned about yourself.  Based on your results, submit a written summary (no more than 2 pages)—Do you agree with the assessments? Why or why not? Discuss your strengths and weaknesses. I will be taking points for spelling, grammar, sentence structure and other writing errors.

  Emotional Intelligence  http://www.maetrix.com.au/meit/eitest.html (Links to an external site.)
  Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic.Since 1990, Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been the leading researchers on emotional intelligence. In their influential article “Emotional Intelligence,” they defined emotional intelligence as, “the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions”  At the end of this assessment you will see a score of 1-10 in the following areas, with 10 being the strongest indication.

  Self-Awareness.
  Description. The core of Emotional Intelligence is self-awareness. Self-awareness is comprised of three competencies; emotional self-awareness, where you are able to read and understand your emotions as well as recognize their impact on work performance and relationships; accurate self-assessment, where you are able to give a realistic evaluation of your strengths and limitations; and self-confidence, where you have a positive and strong sense of one’s self-worth. The starting point and key in these areas is the ability to be critically self-reflective.
  Self-Management
  Description. Self-management is comprised of five competencies; Self-control, which is keeping disruptive emotions and impulses under control; transparency, which is maintaining standards of honesty and integrity, managing yourself and responsibilities; and adaptability, which is the flexibility in adapting to changing situations and overcoming obstacles; achievement orientation, which is the guiding drive to meet an internal standard of excellence; and initiative, which is the readiness to seize opportunities and act.
  Social Awareness
  Description. Social Awareness is comprised of three competencies; empathy, which is understanding others and taking an active interest in their concerns; organizational awareness, which is the ability to read the currents of organizational life, build decision networks and navigate politics; and service orientation, which is recognizing and meeting customers needs.The adaptable, success-oriented type.
  Relationship Management
  Description. The Social cluster of Relationship Management is comprised of seven competencies; visionary leadership, which is inspiring and guiding groups and individuals; developing others, which is the propensity to strengthen and support the abilities of others through feedback and guidance; influence, which is the ability to exercise a wide range of persuasive strategies with integrity, and also includes listening and sending clear, convincing and well-tuned messages; change catalyst, which is the proficiency in initiating new ideas and leading people in a new direction; conflict management, which is resolving disagreements and collaboratively developing resolutions; building bonds, which is building and maintaining relationships with others; and teamwork and collaboration, which is the promotion of cooperation and building of teams.

  Hemisphere Dominance  http://www.web-us.com/brain/braindominance.htm (Links to an external site.)

  This personality assessment offers the test taker a suggestion for brain hemisphere dominance (right or left). Most professionals are aware there is a dominant side of the brain; however, these same professionals are unaware of the influence this hard wiring has on the day-to-day activities of professional performance. For example, right brained individuals tend to be more creative. Professionals with dominant right brains may be best suited for creating new product and service lines, developing long range strategic plans and forecasting threats on the environmental horizon. In contrast, left brained individuals are more detail oriented, methodical and calculating. Left brained individuals prefer implementing strategic plans over developing them. While it is difficult to change one’s predisposition for creativeness versus detail orientation, creative thinkers can make specific adjustments in their daily business of work to become more organized while others can exercise creative elements of their brain by engaging in more creative arts like writing, music or art.

  Jungian Assessments  http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp (Links to an external site.)[ii]

  (This assessment is 72 questions—do not be alarmed—they are all yes or no questions!)

  Scholars have suggested that all individuals are born with a personality archetype. Over the years, family, society and the environment exert influence on this archetype. Working professionals should be aware of their natural predispositions so that certain characteristics can be leveraged, or weaknesses avoided. The most popular assessment of this kind is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Most Jungian assessments of this type are very similar. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has been a reliable source of documenting personality since World War II. The MBTI focuses on four dimensions of personality with two preferences in each dimension. MBTI indicates your preferred style and remains fairly stable throughout your career. The dimensions are: extroversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling and judging or perceiving.

  To be a Genre: Doctorow’s For the Win

  $20.00

  To be a Genre

  Purpose
  To apply your awareness and understanding of a given text’s relationship to the conventions of its genre and to use that insight to produce an analysis of the rhetorical work the text is doing through genre.

  Assignment
  Identify the genre, genre features, and genre conventions applicable to Doctorow’s For the Win. (Pro Tip: Revisit the chapter on genre in AGWR, the readings on what YA is and does that we recently engaged with, and previous discussion posts to help you get started.) Then write an argument in which you explain the relationship of this text to its genre, and what implications can be drawn from that relationship and the rhetorical work Doctorow undertakes with this novel.
  Successfully engaging with genre analysis work like this will often require explaining how a rhetor acknowledges, uses, manipulates, and responds to genre conventions in the given text, and for what implied purpose and/or message.
  For example, consider whether the text follows genre conventions or if it only appears to follow genre expectations while in reality challenging them. If this is the case, what might the rhetor be implicitly trying to say or accomplish through the text? Consider what YA literature as a genre might aim to do and how it might aim to accomplish those goals; in what ways do we see FTW taking on those goals/strategies or not?
  While secondary sources beyond the text you are analyzing may not be required, you are still responsible for supporting your argument through careful selection and thorough analysis of textual evidence (specific excerpts from the text you are analyzing).

  Requirements
  A successful argument of this sort will often require 3-4 pages of recorded brain work, typed and double-spaced, and presented in MLA format. Multiple drafts of the essay will be required, and substantial revision is expected. We will talk more about revising/editing on your own and with your class community. Secondary sources are not required, but as the author, you may make the rhetorical choice to include them if they will strengthen your essay. The writing should be error-free and the language in the tone of formal academic discourse.

  Book Essay: The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down

  $15.00

  For the book essay for The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down please pick 1 question from Group 1 and one question from Group 2 to answer. Provide at least 1 page each answers. Be sure to cite the book and course materials.

  Group 1

  1. The only American who fully won the Lees’ trust was Jeanine Hilt, their social worker. Why did Jeanine succeed where so many others had failed?

  2. Neil Ernst says, “I felt it was important for these Hmongs to understand that there were certain elements of medicine that we understood better than they did and that there were certain rules they had to follow with their kids’ lives.” Why didn’t this message get through to the Lees? If you were Neil, would you feel this way too? Is this an ethnocentric attitude? Why or why not?

  3. In Chapter Eight, after describing Foua’s competence as a mother and farmer in Laos, Fadiman quotes her as saying, “I miss having something that really belongs to me.” What has Foua lost? Is there anything that still “really belongs” to her? Are there other groups we have discussed that have experience similar loss?

  4. In her preface, the author says that while she was working on this book, she often asked herself two questions: “What is a good doctor?” “What is a good parent?” How do you think she might have answered her own questions? How would you answer them? How is each identity constructed by each group. Which social construction is taken more seriously in the United States? Why?

  5. What was the “role loss” many adult Hmong faced when they came to the United States? What is the underlying root cause? How does this loss affect their adjustment to America?

  Group 2

  1. How do you think the issues raised by this book should affect your education at Purdue and/or your life as a citizen today?

  2. What relevance does this book have to your potential career (i.e., medicine, health, law, social work, politics, religion, communications, education, linguistics)? In the context of your future career, how do you think you would handle similar situations, if faced with them?

  Course Description
  This course serves as an introduction to the sociology of race and ethnicity in America. It examines racial and ethnic pluralism in America: ways groups have entered our society; their social and cultural characteristics; and their relationships with other groups. Groups include the English, Germans, Irish, Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans.

  Course Objectives
  After completing this course, students should be familiar with basic sociological terms, ideas, and theoretical perspectives surrounding race and ethnicity. Students should be able to appreciate both socially constructed patterns of difference as well as the diverse array of individual experience. Students should be able to understand the contemporary social and political discussions that shape our conceptions of race and ethnicity as well as how they affect the life experiences of specific groups. More specifically, students should be able to comment intellectually on questions such as: How are racial and ethnic identities constructed? How does race and ethnicity intersect with gender, class, sexuality, age, disability and other dimensions of identity? How are race and ethnicity shaped by family, education, the media, politics, religion and medical practice?

  Book Essay—At the end of the semester you will have the opportunity to write a short book essay on The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. You will be choosing the question that you answer from a list that will be provided to you. This essay will be submitted as a journal entry.
