[Solved] Small Hard Sharp Particle

As you begin striving toward your professional goals and future careers, you may notice the term “grit” popping up in more and more motivational speeches, college applications, and job descriptions. Merriam-Webster defines “grit” as “a small hard sharp particle (as of sand)” or “firmness of mind or spirit : unyielding courage.” It is this second definition which has given “grit” new life, becoming a watchword for businesses and colleges across the nation, emblazoned across highway billboards and university marquees.

In Jerry Useem’s “Is Grit Overrated?Links to an external site.,” the author explores this latest branding of self-determination by speaking with Angela Duckworth, University of Pennsylvania psychology professor and author of Grit. Read Useem’s article, which both explores and critiques Duckworth’s concept of “grit,” and respond to the questions below.

  • One of Duckworth’s most revelatory discoveries is how truly successful people deal with feelings like “frustration, disappointment, [and] boredom.” What does Duckworth argue that people with “grit” do with these emotions that separates them from their less-successful counterparts?

  • While Duckworth continues to emphasize the importance of “grit” for achieving one’s goals, how does the article’s author prove to us that many businesses and clients actually do not prefer “grit”? Provide particular examples from the article to reinforce your points.

  • What does Jerry Useem argue are the drawbacks of making our challenges more visible? What does the author of the article state, though, is beneficial to being more open about our difficulties? Do you, personally, feel that being transparent about the struggles of success is good or bad? Why?

  • Useem also critiques Duckworth’s focus on “directional consistency.” What specifically does “directional consistency” mean, and why does the author believe that this might hinder someone’s success? Can you think of another reason why “directional consistency” might be more damaging to success than helpful? Explain yourself fully, using specific examples and details.

Please put it in MLA format and respond to the questions in minimum of 250 words and maximum of 300 words.

 Eloise is a high school counselor who is presently experiencing a traumatic personal crisis. Her only son was killed in a drive-by shooting. Many of the students in her school are gang members. She becomes aware of increasing countertransference and at times has an impulse to lash out at some of her student counselees. Eloise is frequently overcome by grief and is aware that her effectiveness as a counselor is severely impaired. Eloise confides in her colleague, Peter, all the ways she is being negatively affected by the death of her son. Peter is supportive and recommends that she seeks professional counseling. She does not follow through on this recommendation. Peter is made aware that some of her counselees are being negatively affected by her impairment.

After reading the case study for Unit 2, what ethical responsibility does Peter have in this case? How would you deal with Eloise?

[Solved] “ Personal Nature ”

 

he Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) declares that it is the state’s policy to give all persons full information about the actions of the government and that “the people shall be informed so that they may participate in the democratic process”, subject to FOIA’s privacy exemption.  The privacy exemption: the privacy exemption consists of two elements, both of which must be present for the exemption to apply. First, the information must be of a “personal nature.” Second, the disclosure of such information must be a “clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy.”  Courts have determined that information is of a personal nature if it reveals intimate or embarrassing details of an individual’s private life.  The union of clerical workers at Michigan State University requested the trustees of the University to give them the names and addresses of the persons making monetary donations to the University. Michigan State objected because the disclosure of addresses was a violation of the right of privacy.

What will the Michigan Supreme Court decide in this case?  Apply the IRAC method of legal reasoning by stating the Issue, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion. There are no wrong conclusions (if your conclusion is supported by analysis).
