ARTICLE REVIEW: ERADICATION OF DISCRIMINATION ASSIGNMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
A mantra of modern society is to eradicate all forms of discrimination. However, virtually every
law or policy can be argued to discriminate against someone whose conduct falls within the
ambit of that law or policy. As a result, an important question is what kinds of discrimination are
impermissible. This assignment will require you to critically analyze claims that something
constitutes discrimination. In particular, you need to understand the issue both from the secular
point of view espoused by courts, legal tribunals, and legal professionals in our time and the
Christian worldview perspective. This assignment asks you to select a scholarly article
discussing an effort to eradicate discrimination and to evaluate it based on the criteria set forth
below.
It is critical that students seeking doctoral-level degrees be familiar with and able to interact with
scholarly literature and thought in areas of concern, as well as that the student be able to apply
theoretical thought to current events. Therefore, this assignment gives you the opportunity to
demonstrate your ability to analyze issues of law and policy as described above and to interact
with scholarly literature in the chosen area. This assignment will also strengthen your ability in
two areas: (1) to detect bias and worldview in news and information and (2) to strengthen your
ability to produce policy recommendations from the perspective of the Christian worldview.
For this article review, you will:
(1) choose an excellent scholarly article published in the last 5 years addressing
something asserted to constitute impermissible discrimination;
a. choose two news pieces published within the last year, or whitepaper
published within the last five years from an authoritative news or policy
source in the last five years, from a supporting and opposing viewpoint; both
viewpoints must be presented.
(2) carefully read and review the article and news pieces chosen.
(3) write a 1,500-2,000 word review of the article in good APA format:
(I) describing the article including:
(a) the topic or issue the article is addressing.
(b)how the news pieces relate to the topic of the article.
(c) the worldview of underlying assumptions that animate from the article
and news pieces and the analysis therein,
(d) any conclusions drawn or recommendations made in the article and
news pieces.
(e) any other information you deem important to understanding the article
and topic.
(II) critiquing and assessing the scholarly article’s analysis, conclusions, and/or
recommendations with one supporting news article and one opposing news article.
(III)Analyzing the topic from the perspective of the Christian worldview.
This article review should be between 1,500–2,000 words, excluding the cover page and the
reference list.
words. You must stay within the required word range (no exceptions; indeed, a critical part of
scholarly writing is synthesizing and summarizing important information and omitting
information that is not material).
You do not need to include an abstract, but you
do need to include a cover page and a reference list.
In this article review, you must cite as well as utilize at least 6 sources that are scholarly (one of
which must be the article chosen for review), legal (such as piece of legislation, court case, or
law review) and current news, in addition to the course textbook and the Bible, for a minimum of
6 sources. Any of the sources provided in the course materials or cited in the course materials
should be preferred to the extent that they are relevant to the assignment. Please note, this is not
requiring a minimum of 6 citations but rather 6 sources. You should have numerous citations
throughout each Article Review as every major assertion should be supported by a citation to
relevant authority.
ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL ARTICLE REVIEW
 Successful writing: Sample Paper APA 7th found under the Article Review Assignment
Resource item in the assignment.
 Proper APA cover page and formatting.
 Hyperlinking all online sources.
 Referencing title and citation of scholarly article in header or at the top of review.
 Ensuring article selected for review is scholarly and in theme of arguing the subject
matter from a human rights perspective.
 Including both supporting and opposing article viewpoints on the main idea of the
scholarly article.
 Clear headers for scholarly article review, supporting viewpoint, opposing viewpoint,
Christian worldview assessment, conclusion, and references.

Overview
We all have health behaviors that we would like change. Some like healt

Overview
We all have health behaviors that we would like change. Some like healthy behaviors such as eating better, having good quality sleep, meditating, and exercising we want to do more of, and some such as smoking, eating junk foods, or drinking too much, we want to do less of. Changing health behaviors is not always as easy or straightforward as it may appear, and that’s where health behavior theory can play a valuable role in helping people make healthy changes.
For this project you will select a health behavior that you may have been thinking about changing or have tried to change previously without success. Through the three guided healthy change modules, you will be given an opportunity to reflect on the factors that may help or hinder actually making this healthy change by completing a series of measures and tools often used in health behavior change research. You will also learn the value and limitations of current health behavior change theories that may be applied to understanding successful change.
The purpose of this project is threefold:
1) to learn how to observe, reflect, and analyze the factors and motivations that may be important for changing a health behavior.
2) to increase your understanding of what it is like to be the target of a health behavior change program and to complete psychological measures often used in health behavior research.
3) to increase your understanding of how to apply health behavior change theories/interventions to changing a specific health behavior.
PART 1: HEALTHY CHANGE OVERVIEW
In this first journal you will select a health behavior that you have been thinking about changing or have tried previously to change without success, describe this behavior, and some of the reasons for making this change. Your first journal entry will include the following components.
First state the specific health behavior you wish to change and describe in well-defined terms. For example do aerobic exercise for 30 minutes three days per week at 70% of maximal heart rate, or cut back the number of cigarettes smoked to 3 a day. This should be also be a health-related behavior you don’t mind writing about in a paper that I will read. All submissions will be confidential but please recognize that I will be reading these so choose accordingly. This can be either a health-compromising behavior you want to decrease (e.g., excessive eating, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, etc.) or a health-enhancing behavior you want to increase (e.g., exercise, stress reduction, healthy eating, etc.).
Please make sure you pick only one health behavior, not a set of behaviors, or several different ones to change all at once. The more focused and precise you are about the behavior the easier it will be to complete the necessary exercises and components of this journal.
Once you have chosen a health behavior to focus on you will need to take a baseline frequency rating of this behavior for a period of one week. For example, if the behavior you have been thinking of changing is eating more fruits and vegetables, chart how much you currently eat. You may or may not be able to put this in graphical form, if not then a table or description or list is OK too.
The remainder (and bulk) of your journal entry will involve a discussion of your history with this healthy change (that is how long have you been considering it, have you tried making this change previously, etc.), and a reflection on why you would like to make this healthy change. To help accomplish this you will need to complete the healthy change motivation questions and to choose and complete two of the four health behavior change exercises (see list below). Once you have completed these questions, discuss your answers and any personal observations and insights that you may have about your reasons for wanting to change this behavior in your journal entry.
For example you may want to answer questions such as what are the consequences of this behavior in your life? How will your life be improved when/if you change this behavior?
This first journal entry should also include:
Baseline of health behavior summary
Health change motivations questions Actions
One from:
Possible selves Actions
Superordinate goals Actions
And one from:
Prefactual thoughts Actions
Three wishes Actions
Please submit all of these components into ONE file. You can copy/paste the various forms together into one document along with the narrative. Please do not submit as spearate documents.
So, in summary, please submit the above files plus a journal entry that includes the following components as detailed above:
1. State the specific health behavior you wish to change and describe in well-defined terms.
2. Provide the baseline frequency rating of this behavior for a period of one week.
3. Your history with this healthy change (that is how long have you been considering it, have you tried making this change previously, etc.), and a reflection on why you would like to make this healthy change.
You should expect to submit no more than 1-2 pages for this reflective piece. You will be graded on thorough reflection and thoroughness of response and completion of all components required.
part 2
Making healthy changes often requires extensive changes in other areas of our lives to help ensure that we are successful in meeting our goals. In this second installment of your course project, your focus will be on the factors that may help or hinder you in making a healthy behavior change.
Your journal should include the following components and address the issues/questions for each.
1) First complete the following self-report measures and include them in your submission:
Goal Ownership Actions– do you feel that this is your goal or someone else’s goal?
Situational temptations Actions– what elements in the environment could interfere with you staying on track?Links to an external site.
Decisional balance questionsActions – What are the pros & cons associated with making this healthy change?Links to an external site.
And one from Three Wishes or Prefactual thoughts Actionsthat you did NOT previously complete for Part 1 of this assignment. So if you completed Three wishes for part 1 then complete Prefactuals for part 2, and vice versa.
2) Factors that hinder: In this section you will reflect on and discuss some of the anticipated problems that might be encountered when trying to make a healthy change. Some of the questions you should try to answer (if applicable) are:
If you have tried to change this behavior before why do you believe you have had difficulty changing this behavior and why?
If you have not tried to make this change before, what factors do you anticipate would give you difficulty and why?
In other words, what are the difficulties and or obstacles that you perceive when trying to make this healthy change and why have they been a challenge for you? Are these factors that may be obstacles for anyone or just you? Explain.
Are these obstacles that are easily removed or dealt with? why or why not?
Throughout this section of your reflection you should try to integrate your reactions/responses to the relevant sections of the self-report measures you completed. For example what sort of situational temptations do you expect and why?
3) Factors that help: In this section you will reflect on and discuss some of the factors that may help or support you as you make a healthy change. These factors can again be anything from situational influences, to social factors, to your own will power and motivation. Some of the questions you should consider as you write this section are:
What types of changes in your life would make it easier for you to follow through and successfully make this healthy change?
What types of resources would help you make this change? For example, social, financial, and/or time resources can sometimes help support changing health habits.
Would your social network (friends or family) help support this change and why or why not?
What sort of rewards or incentives might be useful to help you make this change and how would they help?
And again, throughout this section of your reflection you should try to integrate your reactions/responses to the relevant sections of the self-report measures you completed. For example what are the pros to making this change, that is what are the positive things that will result from making this change, both in the long and short term?
Please note that the forms do not count for page count. Please try to limit your journal entry (the narrative) to 1-2 pages single spaced.
part 3
Discussion Topic: Unit Two Discussion (Initial post by July 15,
Reflection:
This unit introduces us to health behavior models that focus on interventions that address intrapersonal (self) and interpersonal (small group) influences. Sometimes we rely on helping people individually achieve health-related goals by focusing on their needs, barriers, etc., while other times we rely on those closest to that person to help (by involving their family, friends, and local community). It depends on what the health intervention goal is as to whether one approach or the other is more appropriate. That’s the job of a health educator, to use theories such as the Health Belief Model, for example, to design an intervention. Basing your practice in theory and evidence ensures outcomes that are expected and measurable!
For this discussion, think about how you address change for yourself. It is based on perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, etc? How do outside components effect your perception and success with change? What is the correlation between attitude and voluntary behavior? Are they mutually exclusive?
Please write a 2+ paragraph (minimum 250 words per the grading rubric) discussion addressing the following (30 points): Due by July 15, 11:59pm. Per the Discussion Grading and Expectations Rubric in Getting Started, at least 1 APA-formatted reference is required for fullest points.
Detail a health behavior issue that you think an INTRApersonal Health Behavior Theory would address well. What components of the health belief theory in mind do you think makes it well suited for this behavior change?
Next, detail out a health behavior issue that you think an INTERpersonal Health behavior Theory would address well. What components of the health belief theory in mind do you think makes it well suited for this behavior change?
Which approach do you think would have the best outcome for you personally? Why? Which approach do you think would have the best outcome for those who you identified in the Unit One discussion as your culture group? Why?
