M4D2: Paraphernalia and Pot Legalization

Everyone knows that almost all rolling papers typically sold in convenience stores are used for smoking marijuana, as are most pipes, bongs, bowls, and bats that are sold in head-shops. Should marijuana paraphernalia be legal? What would happen in the short-term and the long-term if marijuana was suddenly legalized? Defend your position.

Re:Module 7 DQ 1

In your opinion, what is the single most significant aspect of humanistic motivation that differentiates it unambiguously from motives derived through Maslow’s hierarchy and through behaviorally learned motivation? How can motivation be augmented without relying on increased rewards or reduced discomforts? Why?

According to Reiss (2004), motives are the reasons people embrace for initiating and performing voluntary behavior. In the case of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the motives derived from his original model include: physiological (air, food, shelter); safety (order, law, stability); love (intimacy, friends); esteem (status, prestige, self-respect); and self-actualization (self-fulfillment); whilst his expanded version added the areas of cognition (meaning, knowledge); aesthetic (appreciation for beauty); and transcendence (helping others to self-actualize) (McLeod, 2014).

In the case of how these motives are learned behaviorally, we must consider the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation (Covington, 2011). Extrinsic motivation is when one is inspired by factors unrelated to the task that they are performing. In other words, the task is performed as a means to an end, and not as an end in itself (Covington, 2011). Intrinsic inspiration comes from within oneself and is inherent in the task (Covington, 2011). For instance, one might engage in an activity simply because it offers a sense of personal pleasure.

So, with all of that as a backdrop, the question asks what is the single most significant aspect of humanistic motivation that clearly differentiates it from simply satisfying basic needs, whether the motives are for extrinsic or intrinsic reasons, and without relying on increased rewards or a reduction of personal discomfort? Well, in my opinion, the most significant humanistic aspect involves a person’s ideals and values. In this case, the person I am speaking of would give up everything, including the satisfaction of their own basic needs, even in some cases, their own personal pleasure, for the sake of a particular ideal or value (Maslow, 1943). It is in my opinion that there is nothing more noteworthy then
being motivated purely by the principle of satisfying the needs of others, with no thought to satisfying the needs of oneself.

Re:Module 7 DQ 1- Alice Benningfield

In your opinion, what is the single most significant aspect of humanistic motivation that differentiates it unambiguously from motives derived through Maslow’s hierarchy and through behaviorally learned motivation? How can motivation be augmented without relying on increased rewards or reduced discomforts? Why?

It is my opinion that the single most significant aspect of humanistic motivation that differentiates it unambiguously for motives derived through Maslow’s hierarchy and through behaviorally learned motivation is the fact that humanistic motivation can derive from caring for others. This aspect of humanistic motivation essentially means that individuals can become highly motivated to kind and compassionate to others, which is a humanistic motivation and virtue that is at a higher level than the basic motivations described in Maslow’s hierarchy, and through behaviorally learned motivation (Lan, Ratchfor, & Botao, 2013). This type of motivation comes from the higher human aspects of an individual’s mind or brain. It is a uniquely humanistic characteristic to be motivated to sacrifice for others (Perry & Hondeghem, 2008). In some instances this willingness to self-sacrifice for other individuals involves actually given one’s life for those that they truly love. This is largely due to the fact that the vast majority of individuals have learned that dangerous situations can lead to discomfort in the form of injuries etc., but individuals forgo these learned motivations as they focus upon their higher-level motivation to show benevolence and kindness to other individuals despite the dangers involved (Perry & Hondeghem, 2008). Motivation can be augmented without relying on increased rewards or reduced comforts, by teaching an individual that there is an increased level of internal satisfaction and a feeling of well-being produced when an individual simply does the right or just thing (Perry & Hondeghem, 2008). This is due to the fact that the internal self-reward makes it unnecessary to utilize external rewards or discomforts in order to motivate an individual (Perry & Hondeghem, 2008).

Today we see the transition from the paper-based health record to the electronic health record. This historic transition has brought many new career opportunities for Health Information Management (HIM) professionals. Understanding the various elements that build the foundation for the electronic health record is key knowledge as we move towards electronic health information systems.

 

Create a report about electronic health information systems. Be sure to address the following:

 

Requirements

 

Part-1: Discuss the roles of HIM professionals in electronic health information systems

 

1. Identify 3 roles available to HIM professionals in electronic health information systems. List the roles and provide a brief description of each.
2. Which of the 3 roles identified above do you feel would be most valuable within the healthcare community? Explain your reasoning.

 

Part-2: Examine the elements of an Electronic Health Record (EHR)

 

3. Describe the difference between primary and secondary information sources.
4. Define data, character, field, record, file, and information. Give examples of each.
5. Examine the screenshot below of an EHR registration screen. Analyze the parts of the screen and give 3 examples from the screenshot of each of the following: data, a character, and a field. (For example: Show that the Patient Name area is a field.) You can do this as a list, a table, or graphically right on the screenshot (if you know how to do that!). You can be creative with this, and make it easier for someone new to understand the terminology.

 

1. Choose a water park or other vacation destination. 
2. Create a hypothetical marketing campaign that uses what you’ve learned about the CRM approach. 
3. Describe how you might apply insights about developing long-lasting relationships with customers to retain or reactivate past visitors. 

• You must use the text and at least one additional scholarly source. (Last week, many of you did not use an additional scholarly resource- Please use journal article, books, e-books, and other peer reviewed materials. These are resources that are considered “scholarly”)
