For this week’s discussion you will consider the scenario below and respond in detail to each of the questions below. Here is the scenario you will use:Roberta has come to counseling because she is contemplating a divorce from her husband of 12 years. She has been unhappy in her marriage for several years and doesn’t think that she and her husband can rekindle the interest necessary in their relationship to make it work. To complicate the situation, she has been seeing a married co-worker for several months on the sly and is sexually involved. Roberta thinks she loves the man she is having an affair with and would like to marry him. Though he wants to continue seeing her he has made it clear that he is unwilling to end his marriage or break up his family to be with her. Roberta and her husband have three young children and she knows a divorce would be crushing to the children. She’s come to you for counseling to sort through these issues.1. In your opinion, which of the following counseling theories would you prefer to use to try and help her: Person-centered, Gestalt or Reality? Choose only one and explain your reasoning in detail.2. Using your chosen theory from question 1, would you go about helping her sort through her confusion? Be sure to bring in concepts from your chosen counseling theory to show how you would specifically work with her.3. Roberta is looking for answers to questions she feels unable to answer herself because she is so emotionally involved. After she tells you her story she asks you to give your perspective and advice on what she should do. How would you respond to this request? What potential problems might arise if you do give her direct advice? What potential problems might arise if you don’t give your perspective? Be specific and detailed in your response.  What would your chosen counseling theory have to say about giving direct advice?4. At the end of the session, Roberta is very distraught and asks if you would be available to meet her for coffee later that day to continue the conversation in a more casual environment. Under what circumstances might this be appropriate, if at all? What potential conflicts might this create? Be specific and draw upon information from your text and lecture materials to support your points.

Although some states and cities have passed laws to ban texting and using handheld phones while driving, there is no current law to ban all cell phone use while driving. However, according to the National Safety Council (2009), 28 percent of all crashes—1.6 million per year—are caused by cell phone use and texting by drivers. The mission of a new national nonprofit organization called FocusDriven, patterned after Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is to make phone use while driving as illegal and socially unacceptable as drunk driving. US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood supports FocusDriven and its efforts: According to the  LaHood said this movement will become \”an army of people traveling the countryside\” to push for bans on cell phone use and tough enforcement (Schmit, 2010).As a political advocate interested in this issue, you will be writing a policy proposal that utilizes the current research to propose a solution to the issue and submit it in this assignment.Please note that your proposal is  an opinion/position paper, and your conclusions need to be based on the scientific research you reviewed earlier. Please follow the typical steps in proper academic writing (planning, outlining, drafting, revising, proofing, and editing) to generate the following proposal structure:In the introduction, you should set up the purpose for the proposal, provide a bit of background on the topic, and present your thesis.Now that you have researched a variety of studies (in kimwoods 4g), compile that information together to create a recommendation for policy makers regarding cell phone use while driving.1: In a one-page summary, compare and contrast the results of the various studies regarding the cognitive abilities that are affected during cell phone use while driving.2: Using that research, develop and explain particular recommendations for policy makers. For instance, restrict texting, or regulate the use of hand-held phones. All your recommendations must be supported by your research findings.3: Based on the gaps in current research, describe the variables, populations, and situations which you would like to see future research address.Review the important current research, your conclusions from that research, and how the future could look in both policy and research. Keep your goal in mind: To convince the reader to support your current policy proposal and future research to examine this issue more closely.Your proposal should be written in APA style (which includes a title page with running header and a reference page), and free of typographical and grammatical errors. The body of your proposal should be 4–5 pages long.

 I selected Canada, because the core responsibility of the Government of Canada, is to promote safety and security of Canada and Canadians, disruptions and or other threats or emergencies, because they all have the capacity to endanger life, personal health, safety, property, and delivery services to Canadians (Canada, 2015). Like us here in America, Canadians have adopted an all-hazards approach to emergency management, that encompasses interdependent and integrated functions, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery (Canada, 2015). Canadas mission statement declares on authority of the federal government, institutions senior management, and members of the planning team, to develop and issue a mission statement, defining the purpose of the plan, that indicates how it will involve the entire organization, defining authority and structure of the planning group (Canada, 2015).  One cultural factor Canada might contribute that increases risks associated with a disaster, would be the cross-cultural roundtable on security, it was created by the Canadian government with the purpose of engaging Canadians alongside with their local governments in a long-term dialogue, on matters related to national security (Canada, 2015).The goal was to bring together citizens who are community leaders, that have extensive experience in social and cultural matters, to help with emerging developments in national security, or matters that could impact Canada’s diverse and pluralistic society (Canada, 2015). The members of the Cross-Cultural Roundtable on Security group, provides advice and perspectives to the Minister of Public Safety, and the Minister of Justice, on matters of national security, because there is no greater role or obligation for a government then protecting and securing its citizens from disasters (Canada, 2015). All Canadians know, they live in an increasingly interconnected, dangerous and complex world, with an increase in terrorist acts, rapid, globalized spread of infectious diseases, and challenges to their society, it is critical to their quality of life to understand this new reality (Canada, 2015).  How I might integrate information into a mitigation and preparedness system for Canada. Canadians, unlike some Americans, know the threat to security and public safety exist worldwide, and realize that securing an open society; their National Security Policy must be a strategic framework consisting of an action plan designed to ensure Canada’s preparedness and response to current and future threats (Canada, 2015). I would focus on events and circumstances that would require our national response, be prepared beyond the capacity of individuals, communities or provinces, by implementing an integrated approach to security issues across government interagency organizations (Canada, 2015). Being an American, I know firsthand the realization of a divided government, and its people. I would employ a model so emergency responders can adapt to changing circumstances over time, crafted to balance the needs for national security with protecting Canada’s citizens, values, and respect for civil liberties (Canada, 2015). My National Security Policy should focus on three core interests, Protecting Canada and Canadians at home and abroad, to ensure Canada and her allies are free from threats, and provide stakeholders with information about contributing to international security measures (Canada, 2015). It should contain several measures that would help Canada build a more integrated security system, comprised of goals, that are consistent with their national security policy, I would establish an integrated threat assessment center, that would ensure all threat-related information is brought together in a timely manner to all who need it (Canada, 2015). My National Security Advisory Council would be comprised of security experts external to government, someone from the Cross-Cultural Roundtable on Security, and the Department of Public Safety composed of members of Canada’s ethno-cultural and religious communities, would be responsible for testing and auditing federal departments, and provide key security responsibilities and activities (Canada, 2015).  Canada, G. o.

You are an AIU Online Campus graduate and have started a career with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which is a part of the Department of Justice. You are a juvenile justice expert, which fits perfectly with your criminal justice degree. You have been assigned to write a paper of 3–4 pages on the following two families and the questions listed below: The Jukes family and the Kallikak family have been subjects of studies pertaining to the nature versus nurture issue and crime. Current studies have been collected that show that juveniles who are raised in families where family members have been incarcerated have an increased likelihood of following the same path.You can find information on these 2 families at the following Web sites, but be sure to look at more than just these 2 Web sites: Are the characteristics of offenders, about which you have read in your textbook and the professor has lectured, carried down through families? These characteristics may include a propensity for violence, a dishonest nature, and so on. Is it nature or nurture? Look at these studies, and describe the characteristics. Try to explain both sides of the issue (both nature and nurture) that bring out the characteristics of people who are more likely to go to jail.
