One of topics we discussed is Social Psychology was how we form and maintain meaningful and healthy relationships with others. Gottman is one of the leading researchers in this area and he has defined four characteristics (“horsemen”) that predict the demise of relationships in the long-run. The purpose of this discussion post is to reflect on your own and others’ relationships with others and to help us identify patterns that are more health-promoting in our life course.  A variety of research suggests that social support is a key factor in life satisfaction and longevity.  How do we know what is “good” social support? Let’s talk about it!
NOTE: Social support can refer to platonic (e.g., friendships) or romantic relationships.

Please answer both of the following for this discussion post: 
1.  Please watch this video by Gottman, which explains his four horsemen:
Gottman’s Four Horsemen  (Links to an external site.)

Reflect on the video and answer one or both of the following questions:

Is there one or more particular characteristic that you feel is more personally damaging? 
What are some of the things in a relationship (either friendship or romantic) that you feel can be destructive that future research may or may not be picking up on?

2. What do you personally most value in relationships with others (e.g., trust, active listening, loyalty, friendship, equity, etc.)? For example, what positive characteristics would/do you seek out in others or that you find personally appealing and enriching?
**We focused on the Big Five personality traits in the previous chapter. Thus, for this complimentary discussion post, I’d like you to focus on the social aspects of relationships.**

Using the ethical dilemma in discussion question one, discuss a role nurses could play in creating an ethical practice environment. How can you promote a quality ethical practice that supports the wellbeing of all humans?
Discussion Question 1 
One of the significant historical dilemmas in public healthcare services was an ethical dilemma in advanced directive implementation in multidisciplinary patient care. The advanced directives required that the patient’s concern be adhered to by the medics of the public health. The dilemma occurred when patients who underwent surgery refused to be subjected to aggressive treatments in cardiac arrest. The internal medical staff who had just been given the mandate to take care of the patient had to decide between withholding the treatment and attempting any possible life-saving method that would not go against the ethics (Tompkins et al., 2017). The situation was faced with an ethical dilemma. Physicians who had no more profound understanding of the patients’ underlying conditions had to find a balance in upholding patients’ concerns and reacting to strange clinical events that needed to be taken. The situation presented a dilemma to the physiologist. It was hard to decide whether to withhold any aggressive resuscitation effort as demanded by the patient, make a call to the primary emergency surgery consultant, or make an effort to get in touch with the patient’s family member to complete a surrogate decision.
The dilemma may relate to current ethical dilemmasbecause the current nurses must ensure that patients’ refusal tospecific treatment due to their cultural and societal beliefs is considered and protected. The lesson learned from this dilemma is that healthcare institutions should create an ethical committee that will facilitate good decision-making, which will not alter the concerns of patients, families, and those nurses involved (Lasota et al., 2020). Secondly, the medics that have been assigned to a particular patient should not abandon the patient to new nurses or healthcare workers who lack the necessary knowledge of the underlying patient condition.

Choose one of the following groups to analyze:

People of Color and or immigrants
Women
The Working Class
Ethnic Minorities and or immigrants

Content and Expectations. Describe their experience in the U.S. from the late 19th century through the 1950s. Your opening paragraph should summarize the essay and have a strong underlined one sentence thesis. The opening paragraph should provide a road map of what you are arguing and how you will prove it. Students will be graded on how well they explain the course text and videos’ thesis, argue their point of view, and use college level writing (grammar, spelling, style, word diversity, etc).
Your essay should have SIX of the following eras. You should dedicate one paragraph to each of those six eras:

Reconstruction
Gilded Age
Progressive era
WWI era
1920s/Great Depression era
New Deal Era
World War II era
1950s

For each of the eras you choose, note the ways in which the U.S. through specific policy, rhetoric, and actions has treated, dismissed, empowered, and or marginalized these communities AND the ways in which people from these communities have engaged in action and activism. 
Citations and Sources. You are only allowed to use the sources assigned in the course thus far (Any other sources will result in an automatic 0 on the assignment). In your response, make sure to cite assigned at least two course videos twice each (that is four citations total minimum) and the course text (Give Me Liberty) at least 6 times (for a total of 10 citations minimum in the essay). Students who do not have in-text citations, not a reference list – there is a difference – will receive a Zero. You can use Chicago or APA formats only.
Formatting: In college there is a very specific to write an essay. Anything short of these basic expectations will not be considered an essay. They include:

An opening Paragraph.

Your opening paragraph should summarize the essay and have a strong underlined one sentence thesis.
The opening paragraph should provide a road map of what you are arguing and how you will prove it.

Body paragraphs.

Topic sentences that tie your evidence to the thesis
Make sure the language of each topic sentence is taken directly from the thesis
The topic sentence explains how the evidence supports a part of the thesis, thus, the topic sentence should never be something that is or can be cited.

Conclusion

Summarizes main arguments of the essay

Topic – Coexistence of federal law and state law.
research and write papers summarizing in own words what you have found on current topics from the weekly readings. Research is a theoretical review of relevant literature and application of findings in the literature to a topic related to a specific industry, field, or business problem.
The research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade or academic journals. While Blogs, Wikipedia, encyclopedias, course textbooks, popular magazines, newspaper articles, online websites, etc. are helpful for providing background information, these resources
are NOT suitable resources for this research assignment.
Assignment Requirements:
i. Research/find a minimum at least four (4), preferably five (5) or more, different peer- reviewed articles on your topic from the University of the Cumberlands Library online business database. The article(s) must be relevant and from a peer-reviewed source. While you may use relevant articles from any time frame, current/published within the last five (5) years are preferred. Using literature that is irrelevant or unrelated to the chosen topic will result in a point reduction.
ii. Write a four (4) to five (5) page double spaced paper in APA format discussing the findings on your specific topic in your own words. Note – paper length does not include cover page, abstract, or references page(s).
iii. Structure your paper as follows:
a. Cover page
b. Overview describing the importance of the research topic to current business and professional practice in your own words.
c. Purpose of Research should reflect the potential benefit of the topic to the current business and professional practice and the larger body of research.
d. Review of the Literature summarized in your own words. Note that this should not be a “copy and paste” of literature content, nor should this section be substantially filled with direct quotes from the article. A literature review is a summary of the major points and findings of each of the selected articles (with appropriate citations). Direct quotations should be used sparingly. Normally, this will be the largest section of your paper (this is not a requirement; just a general observation).
e. Practical Application of the literature. Describe how your findings from the relevant research literature can shape, inform, and improve current business and professional practice related to your chosen topic.
