Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to explore the professional and ethical issues of counseling and referring when dealing with counselor-client value differences.  

Directions:  Begin this assignment by reading both Chapter 10 of the Sanders text and the two American Counseling Association’s (ACA) articles about our position on referrals:

1. Martz, E., & Kaplan, D. (2014). New responsibilities when making referrals. Counseling Today, 57(4), 24-25.   
2.  Kocet, M. M., & Herlihy, B. J. (2014). Addressing value‐based conflicts within the counseling relationship: A decision‐making model. Journal of Counseling & Development, 92(2), 180-186.

Your paper must be in current APA format including a title page, abstract and reference page. The paper should be 3-6 pages in length. (This does not include title page, abstract and reference page). Your paper must cite both the Sanders text and the ACA position paper.

Divide your paper into the headings below and address each question under each heading:

Summarize (1-2 pages)

In this section, summarize what you have read by condensing Chapter 10 of the Sanders text, and the two ACA paper. Prove that you have comprehended the material by writing a clear, brief, summary of the main points of each source. For the Saunders chapter, make sure to focus on the presentation of the APA’s position on values based referals and how to address values conflicts. A summarizationis not a commentary; rather, it is an insightful précis of the longer, more elaborate chapter/article. It must provide a clear overview of the material.

Reflect (1-2 pages)

In this section reflect on what you just read and answer the following questions:

• Having read the chapter and ACA paper,s what new realizations and/or questions occurred for you?
• How do you feel about the ACA position of not referring clients based on value differences?
• Because referrals based on value differences are not ethical under your profession’s ethics codes, what personal and professional dilemmas, around specific populations or problems, might this pose for you? At this end of these instructions is a list of various populations for you to consider. 

Act (1-2 pages)

In this section put into action what you have just learned/realized as a result of the reading. Specifically address these questions:

• What actions or changes are you going to make as a result of this information?
• Who and what might you consult to assist you in resolving any personal/professional dilemmas that remain for you?

After you have completed your paper, follow the steps below to submit your draft to Safe Assign,  for checking plagiarism, and your final copy to the grade book for grading:

Step 1: Submit your paper via the SafeAssign draft link by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of Module/Week 2.

Step 2: Wait until the link indicates that SafeAssign has analyzed your paper and prepared a report. (For more information: https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=41191001).

Step 3: Evaluate the Safe Assign report by opening the report and looking at the highlighted sections of your paper. You will notice that SafeAssign often matches (highlights) on headings, titles, and references. These are not considered plagiarized.

If you see matches on entire sentences or paragraphs that are not enclosed in quotation marks, then you have unintentionally plagiarized. You will need to go back and re-write those sections in your own words.

Step 4: Save your final paper as a Microsoft Word document using your name and assignment title, (e.g., Doe_J_reaction_paper), and submit the final paper to the grade book using the second assignment link. The final assignment is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 2.

Competency

This competency will allow you to explain and compare various leadership theories.

Instructions

The company you work for has asked you to prepare a document that categorizes leadership theories. Assume this document will serve as a reference to quickly identify and explain the differences between leadership theories. This document will have two parts:

• Prepare a table in Word or Excel identifying at least five Leadership Theories (e.g., Situational Leadership Theory) in the first cell of each row. The following columns should offer 3-5 distinctions (variables/traits) between the varying theories. For example, advantages and disadvantages of each theory could be two of the columns.
  Hint: For your Word document or Excel sheet, Rows are horizontal flow (left to right) and Columns are vertical (up and down). In the first cell in each row, list the Leadership Theory (identify at least five). The other 3-5 columns are your choice. Anything you can compare or contrast between the theories will work.
• In a one-page report, describe the best leader you have worked for by answering the following questions:
  • What theories of leadership do you think were most important to this leader and how did this leader make effective use of them?
  • As a leader, which theories would you two have in common, and which theories would you not use and why?

Instructions

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to discuss an insight you gained in this unit by comparing the development of one specific Islamic and one specific Christian region in 600–1000 C.E. Using examples of significant leaders, political and social structures, beliefs, and cultural products (stories, philosophies, theologies, artifacts, art, and architecture), note similarities and differences in the two cultures, and also indicate influences they share. What insight about the historical development of these two cultures did you gain from the comparison? 

Step 1: Review the section of the Unit V Study Guide entitled, “Be Careful When Making Historical Assumptions.” Be careful not to compare the religions and their development as a whole but instead focus on two specific regions because cultures may vary even within one religion depending on time and place.

Step 2: Choose two appropriate sources, not including the textbook. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Academic Search Complete and eBook Academic Collection databases in the CSU Online Library would be good places to start your search. Resources from outside of the library should be credible and peer-reviewed by historians and cannot include Wikipedia, Biography.com, History.com, or any other .com site; resources should also not be taken from any type of message board or other encyclopedia-type sites, including those listed in the CSU Online Library research guides, which are provided for quick reference only and not for paper research. 

Step 3: Complete your research. Choose one interesting comparison that illustrates the main point that you want to make about these cultures during this period. Gather details about your choice. 

Compare similar features (known as “comparing like terms”). For example, compare cities to cities, education systems to education systems, technologies to technologies, stories to stories, ideas about the nature of God to ideas about the nature of God, and other features. Make sure you complete the comparison for all features, or note why you think there is not a like term for some features. 

Comparison includes consideration of both similarities and differences. 

Here are some examples to consider: 

the promotion and use of learning by leading figures; 

the relationship between religious and political authority; 

the shaping of artifacts (leader, idea, practice, or structure) by time period and environment; 

the shaping of societies by artifacts and whether different people were affected differently; and 

the way that different elements of culture reflect power arrangements, goals, hierarchies, and/or challenges. 

Step 4: Prepare your introduction, including your thesis statement. A thesis is prepared after you have completed your research and includes the comparison of what you found. It should be a one- or two-sentence statement of the conclusions you drew from the comparison. 

Step 5: Write your essay. Your essay must be at least 500 words in length. 

Step 6: Reflect on how this comparison paper shaped your understanding of how to practice cultural history ethically, as discussed in the “Be Careful When Making Historical Assumptions” section of the Unit V Lesson. Write one paragraph to be placed after the concluding paragraph of your essay, reflecting on how the guidelines in the unit lesson shaped your understanding of how to use historical evidence, including artifacts, to practice cultural history ethically.
