Exploring Personality Theories: From Freud to the Big Five
This group should be one paragraph for each prompt:
Prompt 1: Consider Psychoanalytic/Neo-Psychoanalytic theorists such as Freud, Jung, and Adler and their influence on how we understand people’s behaviors today. Do you think some of their ideas are still useful? Please explain. The use of examples is fine.
Prompt 2: What are the pros and cons of using traits (like being outgoing or organized) to describe people? Do you think these traits do a good job of explaining what people are really like?
Prompt 3: Nature vs. Nurture: How do you think our genes and the environment we grow up in shape our personality? Can the ideas from trait and psychoanalytic theories be linked to biological and evolutionary perspectives?
THIS ONE SHOULD BE THE REMAINING WORD COUNT: WITH DISCUSSING EACH BUBBLE AREA
1. Choose one of the personality theories discussed this week—either a psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Jung, Adler) or a trait theory (Eysenck, Allport, the Big Five).
2.Observe (or consider what you already know about) the behaviors and characteristics of someone you know well (a friend, family member, or even yourself). Based on your current or previous observations, describe how well the selected theory explains this person’s personality.
3.Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the theory based on your application. How effective do you think this theory is in explaining complex human behaviors?
Again, while formal citations within your paper are not required for this assignment, please refer back to the class materials and readings to support your arguments. -

Title: Managing Change and Preparing for EHR Implementation in a Healthcare System
As the manager of the CTU Health Care Information Systems Department, you recognize that change management is critical to the success of the implementation of the electronic health record (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR). You also recognize that change management requires cultivating and managing realistic expectations of all of the departments involved when evaluating health records, including federal, state, and ethical guidelines.
For this assignment, you must explain how you would guide the change process among team members and departments. Consider the following questions:
Who are the stakeholders?
Who are the users?
How will you handle resisters to change?
In evaluating ethical guidelines of health records, how will you achieve security and confidentiality of patient medical information?
How will you address low computer literacy levels among physicians and employees?
CTU Health Care Systems has five clinics that serve nearly 2 million residents in a large metropolitan area and that treat over 500,000 patients annually. Now that you have successfully implemented the electronic health record (EHR) at the main facility, it is time to integrate the clinic’s information technology (IT) with the main hospital’s EHR. In preparation for the implementation of an EHR system for the five clinics, the healthcare system implemented an electronic document (ED) and content management (CM) system to handle the imaging, indexing, and storage of selected hard-copy documents from active patient paper medical records so that in the future, to support continuity of care needs, key documents would be retrievable through the EHR system. However, the healthcare system lacked the level of internal IT and health information services that staff resources required to manage the implementation of hardware and software to handle the actual paper conversion process, so these aspects of the project were outsourced.
Discuss the following:
As the healthcare system prepares to select an outsource company as its vendor for this project, what types of information should you gather from each vendor under consideration?
What are the potential benefits that a healthcare system could gain from implementing a document imaging and management project prior to implementing an EHR system? -
“The Complications of Gun Control: Exploring the Controversy and Utilizing Research to Enhance the Argument”
Essay 5 is an opportunity to utilize research to enhance your argument. You may consider using the topic for Essay 3, the Op-Ed, as a place to start; however, this is not required. You may start with a brand new topic. Consider controversial issues you have learned about or are currently thinking about or living through. Select a controversial issue or problem you are passionate about, and compose a paper which fully explores the complications of this topic. This can be either informative or persuasive, but it must utilize three appropriate and credible sources. The research needs to enhance the argument you are making.
If you choose to start with your Essay 3, then please keep in mind that Essay 5 is more than just inserting research– you will need to integrate the research and then your analysis would need to consider how the research adds to your argument.
The three credible sources need to be properly integrated in your essay. Include a variety of summarized, paraphrased, and direct quotations. Remember to consider the counter argument as you develop a full essay. It is critical that you provide proper in-text citations as well as a properly formatted Works Cited page. Without properly citing your research, you will commit plagiarism which will result in a 0 for the essay.
The final draft should be 3 pages, the Works Cited page will be the fourth page, double spaced, size 12 font, MLA format. -
