HUM 105 Discussion Forum 3 Do we really need gender roles?

HUM 105 Great Ideas of World Civilizations

This week, I’ll be following up on last
week’s discussions about sex and gender roles, by asking you to read and talk
about one of the most powerful and influential gender assumptions in Western
culture – the concept we call “romance”. What is it? Where did it
come from? Why did it become so powerful?

To participate in this week’s discussion
forum, first please view the PowerPoint on “Romance and the Courtly Love
Tradition”. Then read the excerpt from Andreas Capellanus’s The Art of
Courtly Love, and the short story, “Editha” by William Dean Howells.
You can and should also browse through some of the other materials I’ve posted
in the Unit 1 folder, such as “Jealousy and Western Tradition”,
Lavinia Fontana’s painting, “Portrait of a Noblewoman”, the
“Guides To Being a Good Woman”, etc. After you’ve had a chance to
consider what you’ve found, come into this discussion forum, click on
“Reply”, and, in a first post of about 150 to 200 words, answer the
following questions:

Do you see evidence of the continuing
influence of the Courtly Love Tradition in your life, your and other people’s
relationships, and your or other people’s expectations for those
relationships? Do these factors affect
people’s choices and behavior? How important do you think the Courtly Love
concept of “romance” is to you or to our culture in general?

As before, make sure that you use at least
one quotation from the assigned readings and make at least one reference to any
other material you chose to look at. Remember to click on “Submit”
when you’re ready to post. Your first post should be submitted by Thursday,
February 7th, at 11:59 pm.

Then, between Friday morning and Sunday
night, post your second response. Your second response can be shorter, but it
should be a full response to a post of one of your classmates: at least three
sentences. That one needs to be completed by 11:59 pm, Sunday, February 10th.
Please use at least one direct quotation from the assigned readings (use
quotation marks and cite properly), and one reference to on-line materials in
your first post, and make sure you do at least one of the following for each of
your two posts:

Be the first to post an answer to the
question.

Agree, but then add to what someone else
has already said.

Disagree with something already said, but
explain why you disagree.

Add a new element or new idea to the
discussion.

Do not just agree, disagree, go off on an
unrelated tangent, or base your argument on “It’s just my opinion”.
Give reasons. And because you want everyone to understand what you’re trying to
say, be clear and grammatical.

The definition of evidence-based practice is “a problem-solving approach to health care delivery that integrates the best evidence from patient care data with clinical expertise and patient preferences and values.” Every procedure and policy in healthcare is based on evidence-based practice. PICOT is an acronym that stands for patients/problems, intervention(s), comparison, outcome, and time. This is used in nursing practice to make a change in practice to improve patient outcomes. The distinction between a medical practice problem and a nursing practice problem is in the manner in which care is delivered and the treatment options available. A diagnosis and treatment options, including medications, are also common in medical practice. PICOT in nursing practice would be in depression in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit after open heart surgery. P = patients who have had open heart surgery. Music therapy, ambulation, and therapeutic communication are examples of interventions. In comparison, no intervention is used. Reduced signs of post-operative depression as a result. Observations were made over a three-month period. PICOT in medical practice would be used to reduce blood clots in immobile hospitalized patients. P = immobile, bedridden patients VTE prophylaxis (enoxaparin, heparin, Plavix, etc.), compression stockings, or wrap compression devices are examples of interventions. In comparison, no intervention is used. Outcome = less blood clot formation or risk in situations involving a bedridden patient. Time = chart review and outcome review over three months. It is critical to select a nursing practice problem because it ensures that the problem can be fixed or improved with nursing interventions. Choosing to reduce pressure ulcer incidence in intensive care, for example, would be a nursing practice problem. To reduce the risk of injury while in that one position, the nurse could implement an increased turning schedule (2 hours in one position) and ensure that the patient’s sheets remain as smooth as possible. She could also make sure that no tubing around the patient is touching their skin or causing pressure injuries.
The healthcare industry is constantly changing. There are always new techniques, medicines, and ways to care for people. Evidence-based practice is one way we can help ensure that these new discoveries are reliable and safe for people. EBP is the objective, balanced, and responsible use of current research and the best available data to guide policy and practice decisions in order to improve consumer outcomes. (NIC, n.d.) There is a distinction between nursing practice problems and medical practice problems. According to Milner (2017), “a nursing practice problem is one that is identified during a nursing assessment of a patient’s condition, whereas a medical practice problem is one that is focused on the pathology of the patient.” A holistic approach is taken by a nurse when performing the nursing process, which includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When a nurse encounters a nursing practice problem, PICOT assists in addressing various aspects of nursing care. PICOT is an acronym that stands for Patient population, Intervention of interest, Comparison intervention, Outcomes, and Time. While collecting data for the nursing assessment and data collection. The nursing process and the PICOT work together to collect a variety of data about the patient and the condition.

Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.

As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.

It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

Lopes Write Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.

Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.

Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?

Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.

Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.

If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.

I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.

As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:

Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.

Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
