    Psy/531 Week 5 Sport Club Assignment

    The guideline you found matches perfectly with your PICOT question. You did an amazing job on this journal club assignment. I honestly could not find anything wrong with your submission. The chosen guideline gave great recommendations on what staff should do if they are in a violent or aggressive situation. There was one statement that I thought was very important and something we should all remember as nurses. “Encourage service users to recognize their own triggers and early warning signs of violence and aggression and other vulnerabilities, and to discuss and negotiate their wishes should they become agitated” (National Guideline Clearinghouse, 2015). In my opinion, giving those in mental health options not only benefits patients, but staff…

    Discuss Athletics as a Pre-Industrial Popular Recreation and as a Post-Industrial Rational Recreation. Include a Critical Evaluation of the Effect of Social Class on Participation in Popular and Rational Athletic Events

    Athletics had relative importance in pre-industrial Britain mostly taking place at traditional fairs and festivals. For example a wake was seen as a great social occasion whereby mainly the lower class men would compete in events such as stick fighting, running, climbing a greasy pole and wrestling. These activities were seen as ‘athletic’ events and were an opportunity for the lower class men to show off their power and strength to the women. In addition women had the opportunity to take part in events such as smock races. Festivals and fairs such as these would take place on church holy days such as Easter and were seen as a chance for celebration and enjoyment. Prime examples of Festivals such as these include the Much Wenlock and Dover games.…

    Sport Trends in the Ymca

    There are multiple ways that recent trends in the sport industry are affecting the YMCA. A majority of them would be revolving around the economy and how the YMCA is considered a luxury to the people. Others would be the increase of fitness in the world and sport curiosity and also the elderly still maintaining their healthy lifestyles. The increased popularity of celebrity athletes in the world are leading to an increased popularity in the sport world (Balmer, 2009). The battle against obesity is increasing the number of people who join a fitness club or health organization. Also, many people are beginning to try to find both healthier lifestyles and seeking a balance between work and leisure (Sports, 2007). Lastly, the way that kids are being taught is changing; practices are becoming known as best practices and the kids are learning more of the sport and becoming better (Stephens, 2009).…

    Personal Narrative: Salem Varsity Gymnastics

    I was a Freshman on the Salem Varsity Gymnastics team, and practice consisted of preparing the team for regionals. An unknown pain in my back wound me up in the trainer's office for an hour of the two and a half hour practice. After finishing the season strong, even though I wanted to give up countless times, pushing myself to work through the pain paid off at regionals. Even though I should have stopped because I made the pain and recovery time longer, I refused to give up on my team the week before regionals. The minute season ended, I decided to go see my doctor, he said I pulled a muscle, and the solution was rest, heat, and ice.…

    Personal Narrative: Eastview Football

    When I stood at the bottom I did not think I could make it. half way up, I knew that I could not make it. Now, standing at the top, I look behind me at the amazing challenge that I have just conquered. Not only is the hill at Eau Claire an infamous feat that every student must traverse, but it is also a metaphor for every hardship that has entered into my life. One hardship I have faced, was my sports injuries during high school. My junior year track season started off being the best experience i’ve had. Unfortunately, this time was cut short. I ripped a ligament in my leg ending my entire spring season. I was angry at the world asking, “why me”. However, I knew I still had a team depending on me. Day in, and day out, I would show up to practice…

    Ymca Observation

    For my observation I chose to survey a few students that attend after school/day care at YMCA Elmonte. YMCA elmonte has guidelines for volunteers and requires A background check for non staff. I was not able to get full access to the YMCA as a volunteer due too time constraints for this first observation, but should be processed in time for observation number two for older aged adolescents. I choose to pay attention to age groups 4-5 years old for my first study as grounds for learning about Social Cognitive Theory. This age group is very high energy yet, not very logical in their decision making abilities. The city of Elmonte has a very high population of Latino and White children. The social demographic of this area has a lot of young…

    In this case, we noticed that there were a lot of weaknesses of internal controls and monitoring in the club. Firstly, even though the checks were needed to be signed by two people, Fancy asked Sarah to sign the blank checks so that she can pay suppliers on time. However, there were no other people monitor Fancy to write the checks, she could write what she wants on the checks. Secondly, the duties were not segregated appropriately in this company. Fancy had the ability to order supplies, sign the checks, and record the money, so she had power to make fault orders, sign the checks by herself, and make the wrong record without any supervising. Furthermore, the alcoholic beverages supplier which was her college classmate was skeptical…
