NUR 508 Grand Canyon Week 1 Assignment – Collaborative Learning Community: CLC Agreement

Resource 1: CLC Health Issue Analysis Overview

Details:

Group work has benefits and liabilities. EVERYONE assigned to a CLC is expected to equally participate in the work in terms of time and quality of effort. Each participant has strengths and it is reasonable to apportion the work to make best use of this. Some are natural leaders. Our strengths can be our greatest liabilities: No one wants to be bossed around no matter how skilled the boss is. Honest communication is critical to effective group work. The best way to avoid conflict is to set very clear expectations up front. Then, if someone does not do what is expected him/her, he/she can be referred to the original agreement rather than have the confrontation become personal.

Course instructors are able to observe the group process in the CLC forum. If the work takes place outside the forum, this information will be absent. Be certain (even if communicating via e-mail, phone, or face-to-face) to record the communication in the CLC forum.

CLC Project Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to critically analyze a health care issue through the focus of major concepts from each Topic. There are six components to this assignment after the CLC agreement is signed and the topic is identified. It is not expected that every member of the CLC group will contribute to each assignment, but that assignments will be divided fairly and equally among the group. Each of the written components of the CLC project will be 500-1,000 words. These papers should be in APA format with a title and a reference page. An abstract is not required. An introduction is required ONLY for Part 1 and is not required in any parts thereafter. It is the intention that if one were to take the six parts of this assignment and put them together, a comprehensive and cohesive analysis would be produced. Part 1 is worth 3 points and each of the subsequent parts (2-6) are worth 4 points each.

Topic 1 (10 points)

Check into the CLC group and provide contact information and describe prior experience, if any, with health policy. Locate and read the CLC Agreement provided by the instructor, located within the Additional Resources Folder in Canyon Connect. Choose one member to transfer the document to the CLC forum. Decide upon the process needed to fill out the contract. Everyone should participate. Before filling out the agreement, it may be helpful for each student to describe the most difficult, frustrating, helpful, or beneficial apects of working on a collaborative project. Getting this type of information out in the open ahead of time may help to prevent conflict later on. Since no one is angry yet, you can comfortably list what is likely to make you angry and also what would make you satisfied.

Complete the CLC Agreement (except for the final block, which is used at the end). Select someone to submit the CLC Agreement by the end of Topic 1.

Role of a religious ethic in public policy today

Introduction

Religious ethics and secular ethics are two different ways of looking at the world. They both have a place in public policy, but each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Religious ethics in public policy

Religion is a common source of public policy. Religious ethics are based on the values of the religious community and its teachings, beliefs, and principles. This is why religious ethics can be a good source for public policy: they represent what most people believe in their hearts.

Religious ethics can help us make better decisions because they give us an idea of what’s right or wrong by asking simple questions like “What would Jesus do?”

Secular ethic in public policy

The secular ethic is based on the belief that there is no God, or that God does not have a role in public policy. This view was developed by philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The secular ethic is also called “materialistic” because it rejects any spiritual or religious aspects of life. It stresses human reason and science over religion as the source of morality; it sees rights as being derived from nature rather than from God; and it believes that humans should make decisions for themselves without relying on divine guidance (e.g., through religion).

Religious ethic in public policy today

The religious ethic is the source of many of our laws. The Ten Commandments are a powerful influence on public policy and one of the most important sources for religious ethics in general. These commandments were given by God to Moses when he was leading Israel out of slavery in Egypt, and they serve as a guide for how we should live our lives as Christians today. They teach us about how we should treat others, what kind of behavior is right or wrong according to God’s standards, what kinds of things are good or bad for us (like drinking alcohol), and even what kind of government should exist (one that protects life). Because these laws are based on the teachings found in both Jewish scripture and Christian scripture (the New Testament), they provide guidance for all people who practice any religion regardless whether they adhere to one specific faith or not; however if you’re not familiar with them already then this article will help you learn more about them!

There are many ethical concerns that need to be addressed when deciding what policies to make.

A religious ethic is an ethical system that has been developed by religions. It is a set of rules and principles that guide people in their daily lives, including their interactions with other people, the environment and God or gods.

The role of religion in public policy today is important because it helps to create a sense of community and belonging for many people who may not have much else going for them besides faith in God. Religious beliefs can also help guide decisions about what policies should be put into place when dealing with issues such as healthcare reform or education reform; there are many ethical concerns involved with such policy changes which must be considered carefully before making any changes at all!

Conclusion

In conclusion, I think it’s clear that religion and ethics need to be used in public policy today. It’s also clear that there are many different types of ethics involved with this topic, but they all have one thing in common: they’re based on the belief that you should do what’s right by doing what God or your conscience tells you is right.
