Performing a SWOT analysis and an Appreciative Inquiry analysis is a
strategic method for measuring organizational progress and success. It
is also a way for organizations to identify strategic issues and develop
a plan to address these issues. As a current or future leader and
manager of an organization, it is essential to understand the purpose
and components of these analysis methods, as well as the benefits and
limitations of each. In this Group Wiki, you compare these two analysis
methods and explain your preference for one of the methods.

This week’s discussion touched on changes in perception regarding psychopathology in response to shifts in societal attitudes toward specific behaviors. Now, let us look critically at treatments in general. A number of treatments for currently diagnosable disorders have been discontinued, such as trepanning and lobotomies, because they were discredited and are now considered crude and/or barbaric. A number of disorders have been completely removed from diagnostic manuals and their corresponding treatments have been discredited and discontinued. For example, the treatment known as conversion therapy or reparative therapy for lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals is known to be ineffective and even harmful.

In this 250- to 500-word journal entry, you will consider current treatment methods (e.g., electroconvulsive therapy, exposure, and response prevention). Choose a current treatment method and comment on what ways future researchers might consider this current treatment barbaric or crude. Explain why you chose to comment on this treatment. What would need to happen for current acceptance of this treatment procedure to change? What are the ethical implications involved in using a questionable treatment option?

Consider any other questions that came up for you over the course of this week’s assignments. You may share as much or as little as you wish, as long as it is evident in your journal that you have taken the time to reflect.

Your journal will be graded based on whether or not you provided a substantial and thoughtful entry.

I have started a a comparative essay on these two articles. First one is on the origins of southern food and the other is where “Tex-mex” food came from. My request is for you to complete this assignment into an A+ comparative essay, you may find the initial draft below. Thank you in advance and once again the required format is MLA.

3 more pages (including the reference page) will be more than sufficient.

Articles:

Prompt – https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/06/11/532086897/grappling-with-race-class-and-southern-foods-great-debt-of-pleasure

To Compare – https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/tex-mex-cooking-its-not-mexican-and-maybe-thats-the-point/2014/01/27/577c515c-850a-11e3-9dd4-e7278db80d86_story.html?utm_term=.17218016be43

Questions to keep in mind when you are writing the Comparison paper:

• What are they (the 2 texts) about?
• Did they originate at some particular time?
• Who created them? Who uses or defends them? Or, more broadly, who does it appeal to?
• What is the central focus, claim, or goal of each? What conclusions do they offer? What are the points of comparisons you can draw from them?
• How are they applied to situations/people/things/etc.?
• Which seems more plausible to you, and why? How broad is their scope?
• What kind of evidence is offered from each of them?

According to the “Doctrine of the Mean,” to be virtuous requires to seek the middle path. This is, of course, a difficult path to find. There is no special formula for determining when you have found the mean. Nor is there a way to guarantee that you stay on it when you’ve found it.

In a short essay, discuss whether you agree with the Doctrine of the Mean. How do you correct yourself when you begin to slip towards one of the two extremes?

Your essay should be no more than 1 page, double spaced (roughly 275 words). You will be graded on content, organization, development, conventions, and APA format.
