We began the course by considering Cialdini’s click-whirr metaphor for persuasion. Now, at the completion of the course, to what extent do you think that automatic versus controlled processing is important in persuasion? How do automatic and controlled processes interact with the other major entities of persuasion (source, message, and audience) to determine the effectiveness of persuasion attempts? Be specific in your discussion and be sure to reference your course materials.

For some individuals, adolescence marks the beginning of lifelong externalizing problems including antisocial behavior. For others, it is a brief phase of experimentation. It is extremely difficult to predict which adolescents will continue these behaviors into adulthood. Based on what we’ve learned these past weeks, which factors do you think are the most important in determining which adolescents present higher risk? What can organizations (i.e., schools, community groups) do to help move these teens onto a normal developmental pathway.

• Describe the assessment process as related to individuals and families.
• Briefly identify the types of information it is important to gather.
• Compare how assessment at the macro level is similar and dissimilar than at the micro level.
• Explain how you would gather the needed information at the macro level.
• Identify a situation where a client system (micro or macro) may be reluctant to engage in the assessment process.

Developing Human Resources

Review and reflect on the various components of training in human resources. Based on your review, reflection, and the materials presented this week in the course, answer the following questions:

In your opinion, why it is important for organizations to use a strategic approach to training employees?

How might training needs vary for employees who take on global assignments?

Why is e-learning an important component of training efforts today? How do you believe this will change, if at all, 10 years from now?

Wellness

In this final discussion, look back on your experiences in the course and thoughtfully reflect on what you have learned.

Each discussion is meant to be a collaborative space for conversation in which to process the concepts within the course. To ensure an interesting and respectful discussion, you are encouraged to think creatively about your initial posts and build upon the points made by your peers. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.

Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

In your initial post, address the following: 

1. How has your understanding of wellness been enhanced as a result of analyzing it through the four lenses?
2. What are the potential implications of current discussions about wellness for the future? You may consider any future you like, such as the future of your community or the future of humankind.
3. How do you believe the critical analysis skills learned in this course will support you going forward personally, academically, and/or professionally?
