Cuyamaca College Crime and Punishment Essay
Crime and Punishment: Read the following story then answer the questions that follow and submit for grading. In 1974, at the age of 19, Doris Drugdealer was arrested for selling $200 worth of heroin to an undercover police officer in Michigan. She received a 10-20 year prison sentence for this crime. After serving about 8 months of her sentence, she decided that she could not tolerate prison and with the help of her grandfather, plotted an escape. She used a work pass to walk away from prison. In May, 2008, after 34 years, Doris was captured again by detectives who matched fingerprints from her driver’s license to her prison records.Doris said that in 1974 she was a “stupid little …hippie-ish girl…a pothead.” During the 34 years that Doris evaded prison, she worried every day that she would be caught. While looking at a sunset, she would marvel at her freedom and wonder if the past would catch up with her. She was very careful to lead the life of a model citizen and even volunteered for Common Cause, an organization that promotes government ethics and accountability. She married an executive and had three children and lived a comfortablelife in an upper middle class neighborhood in California. She never told her family about her past. Her husband of 23 years stated that he loved his wife as much as the day they were married and that she was a “person of the highest integrity and compassion” and had dedicated her life to raising her children. She taught her children to be responsible citizens and to avoid drugs. Her husband said that the arrest “was the next worst thing to having a death in the family.” Doris worried about the effect of her arrest on her son who had just graduated from high school and her older daughters. A neighbor commented that it would not be useful to society to send Doris back to prison.Undercover drug officers believed that Doris had connections to “higher ups” in the drug world and was a teenage leader in a 1970’s drug ring. They found $600 in herapartment, paraphernalia for cutting heroin and pictures of her with other drug dealers.Doris described herself as a recent high school graduate who was strapped for cash,working at a minimum wage job and driving a $400 car. She said that every day of her life she regretted getting herself into this situation. She was extradited back to Michigan to serve her original prison term. Her family and friends submitted a plea for clemency to the governor of Michigan. Should the governor grant her clemency?Use your critical thinking to analyze this situation. Your professor may use this exercise as a group discussion. Use the Critical Thinking Worksheet that follows for your analysis.Use the summary of the news article on crime and punishment toanswer the questions below.1. State the problem as simply and clearly as you can.A sample answer could be: Doris sold heroin to an undercover a police officeShe received at 10-20 year prison sentence for the crime.2.

EC225 Rasmussen College Module 03 Cost vs Risk Discussion Paper
Families encounter risks of varying degrees every day. For some, every day is a matter of survival and making ends meet. These families may deal with various types of types of risks often. For example, "Family X" experienced a house fire that made their house uninhabitable. When they purchased their home, they choose not to take advantage of homeowner's insurance as they felt it was too expensive.In a 1-2 page reflection paper, discuss what you think about this. In your paper be sure to include your thoughts to these questions:1. What type of risk this family is taking2. What are some possible reasons this family can have for believe that paying the cost of insurance is a greater risk than going through a catastrophe without insurance?3. how would you assist this family to work through the risk to create a plan to prevent the problem of not having homeowners insurance?4. What would you do to motivate the family to research and purchase homeowner's insurance?

SOCW 8205 Walden Wk 1 Impact of Disease on Family Members Response
Respond to at least two different colleagues’ postings in one or more of the following ways: Expand on your colleague’s post regarding the impact of psychosocial and psychological aspects of illness on patients and families. Analyze your colleague’s post and expand on the challenges and strategies with additional suggestions and recommendations. Explain any insights you gained from the psychosocial and psychological impact of illness on patients and families your colleague described. Be sure to use references. DB1 Kim— According to Chiang, factors such as readmissions to the ICU, recurrent hospital acquired infections, failure to wean from mechanical ventilation, and anticipation of the patient’s death often have detrimental effects on patients and their families, as well as affecting their psychological well-being (Chiang et al., 2019). The uncertainty and life-threatening conditions set by the nature of chronic illnesses creates a state of crisis for patients and their families. Patient’s physical conditions has a impact on families indirectly. It is normal for a family to be vulnerable to psychological stress associated with the severity of a patient’s condition. With time, families with patients in critical condition are exposed to situations that affect their ability to make sound decisions and cope with the stressful nature of the situation. The family is an important support system that helps patients manage their conditions and feel relieved in a time of uncertainty. However, when exposed to recurrent episodes of the patient’s illness, stress factors inhibit effective coping strategies, initiating numerous concerns such as financial issues, role changes, and disruption of daily work activities. In most cases, the family structure is affected and accelerated by preexisting stressors that amplify difficulty in adapting and coping to the patient’s illness and progress. With this, psychological factors such as depression, anxiety and PTSD may affect the patient as well as their families. One of the factors that a medical social worker may face difficulty while addressing is the anxiety associated with the patient’s illness or condition. For instance, in a circumstance where a patient may be dying, the patient and the families often face challenges in making sound decisions, especially if the patient is on life support but is not showing any improvement. Medical social workers are deployed to explore different options such as organ donation, end of life care, and grief sessions, which may be received with increased rebellion. However, for the social worker to mitigate the challenge, they would have to identify the proxy decision maker in the family and engage them in an open conversation that would in turn instigate a family discussion. Doing a cultural assessment would also be ideal since the patient and families may have reservations against options such as organ donation (Karelina & DeVries, 2011). Assessing different perceptions of the illness would also be necessary, especially if the condition is hereditary such that other family members may be educated on how to manage or prevent the illness from occurring. References Chiang, J. J., Turiano, N. A., Mroczek, D. K., & Miller, G. E. (2019). Correction: Affective reactivity to daily stress and 20-year mortality risk in adults with chronic illness: Findings from the national study of daily experiences (Health Psychology (2018) 37: 2 (170-178. Health Psychology, 38(8 Karelina, K., & DeVries, A. C. (2011). Modeling social influences on human health. Psychosomatic medicine, 73(1), 67. DB 2 Erika— The chronically ill person may feel guilty about the demands his or her illness makes on the family (Lawrence, 2012). The three major emotions may be anger, resentment, and anxiety.Anger and resentment are like twins; they cannot exist without the other.It normally occurs in that order. The person is angry because of the illness; then resentment may occur toward the ill person. A persons' anxiety can grow thinking of the unknown. Support groups and family counseling sessions can help the family set goals for the new normal. There are many illnesses, but cancer is the one I have experience with. The illness does not care if you have children but especially minor ones. Cancer does not care if you are a single parent. It could be a married person left to raise their minor children. One factor that may be challenging for a medical social worker working with chronically ill patients is establishing boundaries. It may become physically draining and emotionally taxing on the social worker if there are no boundaries set with each case. Some patients do not have the support of their families. One example of this was presented in the required reading for the class. Hospital Social Work: The Interface of Medicine and Caring is the title. There was a 25-year-old black lady diagnosed with rare cancer. The family members were not very supportive. The staff grew to love her so much, but cancer became aggressive, and she died suddenly. The social worker may provide information on resources that may be available to the patient and family. The young lady did not have health insurance, so the social worker was able to get Medicaid approved. The young lady had been in and out of the hospital for the last five months. One strategy the social worker may suggest is palliative care. The goal of palliative care is similar to hospice. It treats the whole person for medical, emotional, spiritual, and other physical needs but is not necessarily for terminally ill patients (Beder, 2006). When responding to challenging situations such as the one just described, the practitioner should first examine his or her own values as they relate to the wishes of the patient (Gehlert & Browne, 2006). If their values differ it may become difficult to communicate with the patient about her care. References: Beder, J. (2006). Hospital social work: The interface of medicine and caring.
