Follow the steps below to write a letter advocating for change, go to for an example:

  1. Select a current health problem that is being debated at the national and/or state level (e.g., the proliferation of “pill mills”, pain clinics, etc) and state why it is of interest. Be sure to research your problem.
  2. Identify a legislator (state or federal) and state why that person is the appropriate one to contact, you will show why this is right person to contact based on the supporting data you provided in your letter. (state of OHIO)
  3. Draft a letter to the legislator in business block format including the proper salutation.

  5. Introduce yourself and your reason for writing. (NURSE)

  10. Include a reference page beginning on the page following the end of the letter, also include citations in the body of your letter. At least three references are required.

Objectives

  • Explain how values and politics shape health policy.
  • Identify the components of political skill and the implications for nurses.

References

Minimum of three (3) total references: one (1) reference from required course materials and two (2) peer-reviewed references. All references must be no older than five years (unless making a specific point using a seminal piece of information)

Peer-reviewed references include references from professional data bases such as PubMed or CINHAL applicable to population and practice area, along with evidence based clinical practice guidelines. Examples of unacceptable references are Wikipedia, UpToDate, Epocrates, Medscape, WebMD, hospital organizations, insurance recommendations, & secondary clinical databases.

You will also be writing a letter to your legislator regarding a current health problem. Research the selected legislator to ascertain their influence/involvement in the topic you selected. The letter should be in block format for a business letter. You do need to support with evidence. Cite your sources and include a reference page following your letter. Follow the assignment directions and review the rubric. You can view samples for formatting a business letter on the following link. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/653/2/ . Always refer to your legislator as “The Honorable (Name)” in addressing the envelope and the letter. In the salutation, write: “Dear Senator,” “Dear Congressman,” “Dear Congresswoman,” “Dear Representative,” “Dear Assemblyman,” or “Dear Assemblywoman, so your message doesn’t look like junk mail.

Always use the doi for journal articles instead of a URL as those can change. Most recent articles will have a doi. However, some do not. If necessary, use Google Schalar or crossref.org to search for a doi. The URL for the library search does not take us directly to the article and should not be used as a retrieval statement. Again, if a doi is not found use the journal homepage URL.

practice paper 1

by

The Practice Paper is intended to give you a trial run through the paper-writing and

grading process, with some of the decision-making and work already done for you.

It will allow me to get a look at the mechanics of your writing (the easiest thing to

fix, yet often the biggest factor in bringing down a grade), as well as your

comprehension (of a topic that has given many students difficulty in past

semesters), ability to glean good information from sources and express it in your

own “voice”.

You must use at least five of the sources from our first five folders of readings (there

are over a dozen sources in total there, so there is still quite a bit of choice

available), and you may feel free to add sources of your own (from other classes,

other reading you have done, or a quick search—there is no need to do a thorough

and lengthy search, because many good sources are already provided for you, and

besides, that is not the purpose of this paper).

As well as a selection of sources, your topic has already been chosen for you.

You

will examine Skinner’s (and Radical Behaviorism as a whole’s) views on what

the rest of psychology calls your “mind”. In these readings, and in class, you

will see that we (behaviorists) do not simply translate mentalistic concepts

into our own vocabulary, nor do we simply deny that people think, feel,

remember, and the like. We have a completely different analysis; your job is

to evaluate that different worldview.

You may agree or disagree with it, but you

must present it accurately, and not simply knock down a strawman version.

I’ve even chosen a nice, pithy title for you, so you won’t have to waste time agonizing

over that. Your paper (yes, for all of you) will be titled “Private Behavior,

Explanatory Fictions, and Mental Entities: Has B. F. Skinner Lost His Mind?”

Five pages (not including references, and no need for a title page), double spaced,

APA format citations and references. Due February 15th (Friday, by midnight, via

Blackboard). Blackboard only accepts Word format (.doc or .docx), so save your file

in that format, as <lastname>PP.doc. So, for me, HennPP.doc.

I will be looking at how well you choose and use your sources (even in these pre-

selected sources, some are better than others for this particular topic), at mechanics

(APA format, spelling, grammar, etc.), at demonstrated understanding (do you

misrepresent the authors you use? Do you appropriately use our behaviorist

vocabulary? Do you actually address the assigned topic, and not some unrelated

tangent? Do you properly support claims of fact with solid citations to source?), and

at quality of writing (do you present a flowing narrative, or a series of unrelated

claims, for instance. Do you write in an engaging manner, or a choppy collection of

5-word sentences?).

chapter 5 summary and feminist activism

by

submit a brief weekly CA paper in two parts: (A) in about 250 words, summarize the weekly chapter and the required supplemental media (e.g., a reading, a video); upon synthesizing these, what essential substance did you take from the readings? (B) in about 250 words, consider a problem of social and personal responsibility with respect to the substance of the readings and describe your own feminist activist approach to solving it; these solutions should be as specific and action oriented as possible (e.g., don’t be afraid to use the word “I”) but grounded in understanding that oppression is a structural problem. These CA papers (10 overall) should be carefully considered, but they can be as informal in voice as you prefer. Please type and double space all CA papers.
