Discussion #1
Hi Angelica, I agree with your view of the asset-based approach and its significance in healthcare. I think it means focusing on community resources that could promote health and well-being. Cassetti et al. (2019) explain that health assets are resources such as skills that improve people’s ability to maintain health. I have also thought that resources are a primary strength in communities that empower individuals and help in overcoming health promotion obstacles. Your example of using written or visual communication to overcome language barriers demonstrates the significance of utilizing community resources. In this scenario, some community members could have the ability to translate health promotion materials using local language. Nurses should build healthy relationships with such individuals to effectively advance individual well-being. I agree with your suggestions for nursing practice—practitioners should understand and respect communities’ communication styles. Do you think cultural competence is a vital element in an asset-based approach?

Discussion #2
Asset-based approaches to health promotion have become increasingly popular to tackle health inequalities by empowering people in more disadvantaged communities to use local resources and increase control over health and its determinants (Cassetti et al, 2019).  This approach focuses on resources available in the community and using those resources to address healthcare disparities facing the underserved communities.
I moved to Salt Lake City, UT from another country about 15 years ago; one of the resources I got connected early on and found very successful across the immigrants’ communities is a community gardening program run by local nonprofit, county, and city government. It is called ‘New Roots’ program (New roots in Salt Lake City, n.d.). It provides garden plots, technical support, seeds and other resources for local refugee and immigrants community to grow seasonal vegetables and help them sell those in local farmers’ markets. Fresh produces are sold weekly; individuals who have Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) will be able to use it to buy double the produce than in local markets through match from grants. This asset-based approach provides immigrants with sense of ownership of gardens, sense of community, physical and mental exercises, fresh produces, and an ability to earn some money through selling produces.
Mental health, social work, and nursing embrace an asset-based approach to assessment within the health promotion context (Edelman & Kudzma, 2021, p. 146). Nurses can use asset-based approach in identifying gaps in services for the patients/families we are caring for and connect them to available resources to address their needs. Nurses are members of the community, and it is very crucial for us as nurses to be aware of the health care context, service gaps and resources in our community, especially when we are working with individuals from underserved communities.

What are the differences of Zurich, Madrid, and Tokyo’s work culture?

The purpose of this assignment is to understand the planning involved for selecting and recruiting expatriates. It can cost a company up to $400,000 for one expatriate who fails a foreign assignment. Selecting the right person to work and live in another country is critical to the success of the organization.
IBM is planning on sending three managers to its Zurich office, two to Madrid, and two to Tokyo. None of these individuals has any international experience. Using the readings, lecture, and your own scholarly research, complete an expatriate recruitment and selection plan for IBM. Address the following in your paper:

What criteria would you use to select the seven managers expected to be assigned to Zurich, Madrid, and Tokyo?
What are the differences of Zurich, Madrid, and Tokyo’s work culture?
How do those work cultures differ from the United States?
What incentives would you offer these managers as expatriates?

Use critical thinking to apply depth and breadth. Be concise and address recruiting and selecting expatriates with respect to the chosen locations. Go beyond description and restating the facts. This writing assignment is required to be completed in the standard APA format. Minimum 2 pages (not including title and reference pages). Abstract not required.

What do you think is the primary motive for helping behavior: egoism or altruism? Why? Are there any professions in which people are being “pure” altruists, or are some egoistic motivations always playing a role?

Choose 1 question; 
In addition to those mentioned in the module, what other costs and rewards might affect a potential helper’s decision of whether to help? Receiving help to solve some problem is an obvious benefit for someone in need; are there any costs that a person might have to bear as a result of receiving help from someone?
What do you think is the primary motive for helping behavior: egoism or altruism? Why? Are there any professions in which people are being “pure” altruists, or are some egoistic motivations always playing a role?
There are other prosocial behaviors in addition to the kind of helping discussed here. People volunteer to serve many different causes and organizations. People come together to cooperate with one another to achieve goals that no one individual could reach alone. How do you think the factors that affect helping might affect prosocial actions such as volunteering and cooperating? Do you think that there might be other factors that make people more or less likely to volunteer their time and energy or to cooperate in a group

Describe What potential challenges are identified when allocating funds for each provision in a policy?

 
You have researched needs, rationale, and budgetary features of the policy you are analyzing. 
After talking with your supervisor, you realize that your stakeholders need a comparison of the costs and consequences for maintaining the policy and for amending or replacing it to make the most informed decision. 
Add an additional 15 to 20 slides to your presentation that outline the challenges and costs of the justice and security issues the policy you are analyzing poses. 
For the status quo (existing policy):

-How are funds allocated for each provision in the policy?
-What potential challenges are identified when allocating funds for each provision in a policy?
-What contingencies are identified to address these challenges?
-What limitations do you find in the policy?
What are the social implications of the policy as it stands?

For an alternative or changed policy:

-How would you recommend the policy be altered or changed to address social consequences?
-What financial and human resources are required for change?
-What are the potential challenges to changing the policy?
-What contingencies can be put in place to address these challenges?
-What financial and human resources are required for the contingencies?

Format your PowerPoint® presentation to ensure that the slides only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide made up of long bullet points. Your speaker notes convey the details you would give if you were presenting.
Include comprehensive speaker notes.

You may have seen dramatic “worst-case” scenarios for global climate change presented in movies such as Geostorm (2017), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), or Waterworld (1995). These depictions typically portray total social collapse as the inevitable result of global climate change, but is this reasonable?
