Parents demonstrate varying levels of warmth, expectations for adherence to rules, and openness of communication with children. Understanding the characteristics and outcomes associated with parenting styles can guide you in helping parents develop the most effective skills for raising their children.

Tasks:

Use your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet to review the following parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive (Baumrind, 1971), and disengaged (Novak & Pelaez, 2004). After reviewing the styles, answer the following questions:

Which parenting style or styles did your parents use? Describe the impact on your development.
If you are a parent, which style have you seen to be most or least effective?
If you are not a parent, which style do you imagine you would use? Discuss the impact of various aspects of culture on parenting styles. Are there some cultural groups that would benefit from one style of parenting more than others?

Support your answers with research and developmental theory. Consider outcomes to Erikson’s stages for each parenting style. For example, which style is most likely to produce a positive outcome during the stage of trust versus mistrust? How would each parenting style impact psychosocial development according to Erikson?

Submission Details:

By Week 2, Day 3, post your responses to this Discussion Area in a minimum of 200 words. Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

You were recently asked to attend a meeting to discuss the hiring process in your workplace. The human resources director attended and made the following statement: “We obviously want intelligent people, but we also want them to have emotional intelligence.”

What did the HR director mean by that? To learn more about emotional intelligence, explore the sites listed below. Please take one of the emotional intelligence (EI) tests. Reflect on your results, and explore ways that you might develop an enhanced emotional IQ.

The following sites has an informal self-administered survey that introduces the concept of EI in an interesting and personal way. There are also links at these sites to follow-up on emotional quotient (EQ) assessment and enhancement approaches.

Click http://www.ihhp.com/free-eq-quiz/ for the self-administered survey site

After taking the test, write a paper of 2–3 pages that covers the following:

Define and discuss emotional intelligence and its dimensions.
Provide examples of emotional intelligence.
Describe your experience in taking the test.

Bob lives in the State of Idaho. Mary lives in the State of Maryland. Bob was on a trip and having fun with his son, Bob Jr. and his wife Gail. The Bobs were driving in the State of Nevada, when they came upon Mary driving her car. Mary appeared to be having trouble driving her car . There was an accident and all parties were injured. Bob wants to sue Mary for damages. Where can suit be brought and why? Cite your authority from the text with page numbers. Does Mary have any control over where suit can be filed. Just prior to trial, the witness officer, was killed in the line of duty so the Bobs lost the suit. The officer was to be a witness for Bobs. The suit was in the media, and after the Bobs appealed the case, a witness, Maybe Ann, came forward and stated that Mary was texting at the time the accident occurred. Should Maybe’s testimony be heard and allowed? Two months after the trial it was determined that the accident had caused injury to Mary’s brain which will cause Mary to loose her sight. Mary wishes to file suit against Bob. Where can she file suit? Are there any reasons why she can or cannot file suit?

Is it reasonable for appellate courts to not hear new evidence in an appeal? Should new available evidence be grounds for appeal? In many cases additional evidence is available by the time of the appeal. If this is the case, wouldn’t justice be best served by allowing the appellate court to consider it? And even if there is no new evidence available, should the appellate court be able to reconsider the trial evidence and impose a different verdict from that of the jury?

If new evidence could support an appeal, no case would ever be final. The parties would always have to worry that the other side might find new evidence. The appellate court cannot hear new evidence because there are no juries at the appellate court level, and the evidence would likely involve factual matters. Lastly, if the appellate court could replace jury verdicts with its own fact finding, it would be usurping the role of the jury. Would it be different if the trial was by a Judge. Does Mary have a right to a trial by jury?

State what your views are on the purpose of the appellate courts. Where do courts get their power? Do the states have the same court structure and rules? Is there a right to an appeal? Is this a constitutional right?

Separate your answers under the heading that applies. Issue Rule Application Conclusion

Learning Activity #2

In response to escalating school violence, the Cool County School Board is considering adopting a multifaceted policy to address school safety. The draft policy contains the following provisions:

1. Elementary schools shall provide instruction in moral values, including, but not limited to, the study of famous moral leaders such as Buddha, Ghandi, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohammed, and Moses.

2. Students deemed by administrators to be at-risk for violent behavior shall be referred to counseling. Such student’s desk and computer may thereby be searched and such information may be used in such evaluation, or for any other purpose. At the discretion of the parent or guardian, counseling will be provided either within the public school system, or vouchers will be provided to pay up to $2,000 per annum for private counseling with a licensed social worker, psychiatrist, psychologist, pastoral counselor, or ordained clergy person.

3. Local school administrators shall conduct periodic unannounced searches in middle and high schools. Such searches shall involve lockers, backpacks, and purses selected on a random basis. In addition, hand-held metal detectors may also be used to check students for weapons. In an addition teachers and employees are subject to the same searches along with all computers on the premises. DUI or DWI check stops will be conducted at all school events. In addition, The state highway administration will have said traffic stops on the state highway in front of the school, at times deemed necessary.

Assume you are the attorney for the County School Board and the State Highway administration. Discuss the advice that you would give them as to the potential State and Federal constitutional challenges to these provisions and the likely outcomes of such challenges. Discuss all possible legal concepts and how and why they should be applied to the facts. Remember to cite the text with page numbers and any other legal resources. Is there anything wrong with the statute? If so what part and why?

In 1803, the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, decides the landmark case of William Marbury versus James Madison, Secretary of State of the United States and confirms the legal principle of judicial review–the ability of the Supreme Court to limit Congressional power by declaring legislation unconstitutional–in the new nation.

Analyze the following case in preparation to answer the questions that follow a systematic approach to your synthesis of law and fact. The final work product is a legal memorandum that articulates whether judicial review is still vital to the power of the Supreme Court which is to be presented to members of a judicial tribunal.
