In two to three pages, complete the case study below by responding to the prompts. Robert Smith is a 40-year-old black male who is divorced, with no children or nearby family. Robert has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He recently retired from the military but refuses to talk about his experiences with anyone. He now lives in a small, rural town 30 miles from the nearest grocery store. Robert had a difficult childhood; his father committed suicide when Robert was only seven years old, and his mother was an alcoholic. His mother died last year from cancer. His father used to physically and verbally abuse him.

1. Identify some possible risk factors of Robert’s PTSD.
2. Provide an educated discussion of what social determinants of Robert’s mental illness most likely affect him.
3. Apply the diathesis-stress model to how Robert may have developed PTSD and still suffers from it to this day.

DO No More than 2 pages 1 and half is the best.

Discussion 1: Communicating Correctional Policy Implications

This week, you communicate the correctional policy implications put
forth in this class to another person. To do so, you will have to take
some time to summarize your thoughts about the course material and think
about ways to effectively communicate these concepts. Think carefully
about who you will approach and how to begin the conversation. It is
important to consider how the individual you choose may react. Also,
consider how to effectively deal with their questions and thoughts about
the complex reality of corrections and the proposed approach to
effectiveness.

For this Discussion, you complete this conversation and then share the experience in this week’s post.

• Find someone who is not familiar with the focus on this course: this person can be a family member, colleague, or friend.
• Explain the correctional policy implications in this week’s
  Learning Resources to them. Pay particular attention to their reaction
  and any clarifying questions they ask.
• Reflect on your experience, and think about what you learned from explaining these correctional policy implications to someone.
• Consider whether you would explain the concepts covered in this
  course differently next time. Could you emphasize different aspects of
  correctional policy instead of others? Do you think, based on the
  person’s reaction, that his or her community would implement the
  policies you have put forth to them?

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3: Post a brief
description of the explanation of correctional policy implications that
you used for this week’s discussion with the individual you selected.
Describe the person you selected and their reaction. Finally, describe
any communication difficulties you had in preparing for this final
discussion and any insights you gained.

Assignment 1: Developing a Compensation Plan

In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to apply concepts in a situation emphasizing alignment of external competitiveness with the organization’s ongoing recruitment efforts.

XYZ, a construction company, has recently obtained a large project that requires them to hire 15 experienced welders in Casper, Wyoming. Casper has very few welders locally so XYZ needs to recruit welders who will relocate to Wyoming for the duration of the project.

XYZ is not familiar with compensation methods for welders and is unsure how to design a compensation plan that will be attractive to welders.

Determine the problems XYZ might encounter in developing a competitive compensation plan that will attract welders to work for their company in Casper. Propose how XYZ should begin the process of establishing a competitive compensation plan for welders and the techniques and data collection methods they should use to develop an effective compensation plan for the welders.

Write your initial response in 3-4 paragraphs and by the due date assigned submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area.
