Question Description: Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being

Many addiction treatment programs incorporate a multi factor approach to treatment, focusing on the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well being of the individual (Alcoholics Anonymous, 2012). Not only does addiction harm the body, it may also affect the mental well being of an individual. In addition, spirituality may also play an important role in addiction treatment. Each area of well being must be carefully assessed, examined, and treated. Failure to do so may result in a greater chance for relapse. It is also essential to consider the influence of gender for a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well being when treating addiction (Myers & Salt, 2013).

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources and consider how physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well being are influenced by addiction. In addition, think about how men, women, or people with gender variant or gender non-conforming identities with addiction might experience the areas of well being differently.
By Day 3
Post an explanation of two ways addiction impacts the physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of clients with problems with addiction. Then, explain how gender might influence the physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of clients with problems with addiction. Support your response using the resources and the current literature.

On July 29, 2016, Delphi Golf, Inc. and the union entered a collective bargaining agreement. The majority of the company’s employees covered by the agreement had not designated the union as their collective-bargaining representative. The agreement contains a union-security clause requiring employees who are members in good standing of the union to maintain their membership in good standing and all other employees to become members of the union on or before the 31st day following the effective date of the agreement or the date of their hire. The union instructed Delphi Golf, Inc. not to employ three servers for restaurant positions in the company because the servers were not members of the union. The company is an employer within the meaning of Section 2(2) of the act engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the act.

Explain in a two-page essay the process and steps your company will have to take to defend this action. Explain the defenses to the action and if the union employees have valid claims.

Healthcare professionals would be thrilled if individuals made decisions about what to eat based on a solid knowledge of what constitutes a “healthy diet.” Unfortunately, that is not typically the case. Many people do not know what constitutes a healthy diet. There are also those who do know but make less healthy choices for several reasons.

The food choices that people make are influenced by a variety of factors. Factor-categories include, but are not limited to, environmental cues, socioeconomic realities, cultural/religious beliefs, and the availability of foods in the community.

Sexual orientation and gender identity are the largest share of reported hate crimes in the District of Columbia and they are up in 2017 compared to 2016, according to data compiled by the Metropolitan Police Department.

The analysis looked at 43 defendants arrested by D.C. police between 2016 and 2018 for suspected hate crimes based on sexual orientation and gender identity and sought the outcome of the cases.

(Links to an external site.)

None of the 43 defendants have been successfully prosecuted under the District’s hate crimes law, which allows a sentencing enhancement of 1.5 times the punishment for the underlying crime. The data also show that just 16 percent of those defendants ended up being charged by prosecutors for a hate crime.

Forty-nine percent of the cases were dismissed, either by pre-trial diversion or because the United States Attorney’s Office dropped the charges.

LGBT rights advocate and Casa Ruby founder Ruby Corado called FOX 5’s findings disappointing.

“It really creates a culture of impunity because people can they know they can come from outside the region and find targets,” said Corado.

Casa Ruby is a safe space and drop-in center for LGBT people, many of whom are transgender and homeless. Corado herself has also been a victim of a hate crime.

“I suffered an attack where a person left me for dead in the living room of my own apartment and I didn’t even show up for court because I was so wounded,” she said.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to speak on camera with FOX 5. A spokesman did email a statement saying:

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to investigating and prosecuting individuals who carry out bias-related crimes in the District of Columbia.

“We seek enhancements in cases that we believe will meet the legal threshold in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In order to meet that standard, we must be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed a specific criminal act covered by federal or D.C. law and that the crime was motivated by prejudice. In assessing whether the crime was committed because of specific bias, we carefully evaluate factors such as the words used by defendants while committing the crimes, the use of symbols of hatred, patterns of conduct on the part of the defendants, and any other information that indicates that the defendants were motivated in whole or in part by animus against a particular group. We investigate those cases flagged by our law enforcement partners as well as others that come to our attention. As in all of our matters, we make decisions based on the applicable law and the facts and circumstances of each case.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office did share that it is currently prosecuting six defendants for hate crimes based on sexual orientation or gender identity and seeking the hate crimes enhancement for sentencing. They include four people accused of robbery and murder after allegedly shooting and killing 22-year-old Deenequa Dodds (Links to an external site.) on July 4, 2016 in Northeast D.C. Dodds was transgender.

Victims can also play a role in the failed prosecution of hate crimes. In one instance in 2016, a man was called a homophobic slur, punched and knocked out inside Union Station. The victim did not want to be identified, but told FOX 5 on the phone he asked prosecutors not to seek a hate crimes charge because he believed the suspect was mentally ill and needed treatment.

Corado and other LGBT advocates believe prosecutors should try harder to seek convictions for hate crimes.

“No one wants to live in a city where you yourself can become a target one day, where a criminal can come and say I will hurt you knowing that nothing will happen,” said Corado.

First, read the article in our module this week, and watch the video embedded in the article, about the prosecution of hate crimes.

Let’s discuss hate crimes.

Why do we classify hate crimes differently than other crimes? What enhancement to punishment exists in DC for hate crime cases (according to the article and video)?

The article states that in DC, very few hate crime cases get prosecuted. Why do you think that is?

Now do some research about hate crime statistics in another state, city, or in the US overall. What do the statistics tell us?

Lastly, in your opinion, is hate crime legislation necessary?

****This is a Practical Connection Assignment

So far the Topics covered in this course:

Week 1 Topic: Risk Management and Enterprise Risk Management

Summary: We had an informative introduction over risk management and enterprise risk management practices. We also had the opportunity to review the literature in the risk management body of knowledge.

Week 2 Topic: Risk Management and Enterprise Risk Management

Summary: We had an informative introduction over risk management practices. We also had the opportunity to discuss the value provided by the ERM program and development of enterprise risk management.

Week 3 Topic: Integrating ERM with Strategy

Summary: In week 3 discussed about how to improve the performance of risk management strategies. In addition, we will also discuss enterprise risk management strategy.

Week 4 Topic: Integrating ERM with Strategy

Summary: In this week’s chapters, we will study the different compliance and governance models and how they are used in a risk management program.

By reading the Integration of ERM with Strategy Case, it supports the premise that increasing complexity due to industry changes, globalization, and shifts in technology and business cycles can produce more strategic risks than ever. Linking ERM to a company’s strategic planning can help ensure that strategic initiatives are connected to risk-mitigation strategies and that changes are met with thorough analysis to help a firm sustain its competitive advantage.

Week 5 Topic: Risk Management Frameworks

Summary: In this week’s chapters, we will study and discuss organization’s relationship between information security and ISO 27001

Week 6 Topic: Risk Management Frameworks

Hi Isha, 1) Can we consider all dissertations and theses available from ProQuest Dissertations &Theses Global scholarly articles for the literature review? As Dr. Campanicki explained, you may read dissertations and theses, but these are typically not included within the references in your Literature Review. You cannot quote the author of a dissertation or thesis. However, you can use these documents to give you ideas for writing your own thesis. Additionally, you can look through the references they used and if pertinent, include them within your paper.

2) Are there limits in the use of academic sources to give evidence for research? No, there are no limits. However, you need to strike a balance of different sources used in developing your paper. You should have a diversity of sources with which to draw upon for developing information in your paper
