As you build your human relations skills, it is very important to establish an acute sensitivity to the impact communication has on your interpersonal relationships at home and at work. Human relations communication starts with your desire to connect with another person. Sometimes, connecting can be a challenge with technologies such as email, instant messaging, text messaging, and forms of social media. These modes of technology make it difficult to read non-verbal cues. We continue to be dependent on relationships for people, processes, and technology to give us our best results.
Based on your readings this week (see Content – Week 1 – Reading and Resources), how can we improve communications with each other in a world filled with technology that often results in physical isolation? Be creative in your answer!

Psychopathology/Emerg Trends (PSY-540)
Know Thyself
One of the highlights of this course is the constant opportunities to participate in surveys and tests that build on the knowledge of self. The VIA character assessment presents a fantastic opportunity to know myself, to serve others better, and to be at peace with myself. One of the top strengths determined by the assessment is lightheartedness. I like telling jokes when appropriate (VIA Institute, 2024). I believe that lightheartedness lights up a room and makes people comfortable. The second highlighted strength is spirituality. I am a Christian, which plays a massive role in my life. I find my strength and peace in my Christianity, and this is a strength (VIA Institute, 2024).
The third strength that I have learned about is creativity. The test asserts that I think of novel ways to make things come to life, including artistic ways. The fourth strength is curiosity (VIA Institute, 2024). I have an interest in a variety of topics, and this often helps me achieve my goals. The fifth strength is the appreciation of beauty and excellence. This is where I notice beauty and excellence in everything I encounter.
I agree with these results. I honestly believed that spirituality would be my first strength. I believe everything I do stems from my being a Christian first and then everything else later. However, I am glad that my spirituality emerged and became a source of strength for me (VIA Institute, 2024). I was surprised that lightheartedness would make it to the top. I consider myself to be an individual with a sense of lightheartedness. However, I had no idea how much of a strength that was. I appreciate my curiosity and creativity, and I recognize their vital role in my life (VIA Institute, 2024). My idea of God-given gifts goes beyond spiritual gifts; it moves even to gifts such as creativity and curiosity. When Moses was building the ark, God instructed him to pick Bezalel and Oholiab to aid him with the construction. The Lord says, “‘See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.
Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab, son of Ahisamak and of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also, I have given all the skilled workers the ability to do everything I have commanded you.” This shows that the strengths and skills come from the Lord, and he is the one who distributes them fairly among His people. I am pleased to have been blessed with the gifts of lightheartedness, creativity, appreciation for beauty, and curiosity, all for the glory of God (VIA Institute, 2024).
These strengths have been evident in the past year. I have grown my discipleship group due to my lightheartedness. I try not to make it too serious, constantly approaching things with lightheartedness and including everyone. This often disarms people, and they become more vulnerable. This has also helped me in my coaching practice, making it easier for people to open up and share their experiences (VIA Institute, 2024). My spirituality has been beneficial for me. Striking a balance between ministry, family, and education has been difficult. More often than not, I find myself questioning why I am doing all this. Then I am reminded of Philippians 4:6-7, which states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” I find peace knowing when I can come to the Lord, He will give me peace. I also apply my spirituality in my discipleship practice. I remind my disciples that if they trust in the Lord with all their hearts and lean not on their understanding and submit to Him, the Lord will make their paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). This shows how I use spirituality as my strength.
I have used my creativity and curiosity greatly when preparing my research proposal. The creativity came in designing how I would approach the research. I learned how to understand and interpret data, which helped me better understand how to derive patterns and meaning from data. I also used creativity to find the best data collection attributes and how to make my ideas into a reality. I then used my curiosity to learn about mathematical methods. I was not keen on mathematics until my encounter with Microsoft Excel. Here, my curiosity peaked, and I became interested in learning more about mathematical formulas and statistics. That was very helpful in preparing my proposal as it gave me an insight into how data is processed in research.
My appreciation for beauty is something that I truly benefit from. I will admit that there are times this year when I have felt overwhelmed and somewhat disappointed spiritually because of all my life’s pressure. I felt like the fire was too much, and I didn’t know how to talk to Him in prayer without sounding like I was complaining more than trusting Him. In these moments, I would walk and see nature and art. These entities would remind me of how amazing God is, and that would help me calm down and express my grievances to God in peace.
These gifts would be beneficial in my ministry. In particular, lightheartedness and appreciation of beauty have already been very helpful. I look forward to being a life coach in the future. I know this career path would benefit me as I have been interested in it for a while. Lightheartedness and appreciation for beauty will play a vital role in this endeavor. My lightheartedness will be crucial in disarming those I am ministering to. It is something I intend to use significantly in my coaching endeavor. My appreciation for beauty will help me to be gracious. This skill will help me appreciate even the smallest of life coaching efforts, making me a better life coach.
I am partially satisfied with my spirituality rank. I am glad it came up, though it saddens me that my lightheartedness exceeded my spirituality. It reminded me of the necessity of working on my spirituality to improve it continuously. A friend mentioned that my increased approach to viewing things from a lighthearted perspective would benefit the lives of others and mine, and I am starting to believe that they might be right. I need to grow my spirituality to make it the center of my life even more. The strategy I intend to take is to balance all things and grow forward.

Telehealth
The objective of restructuring the American health care system was to increase quality and access to care and to minimize cost from which a telehealth setting was born.
The earliest form of telehealth was the transmission of heart sounds through the telephone in 1878. In the 1990s, the internet opened up new possibilities. The important impetus for telehealth came with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, which included the goal of increasing digital connectivity. The implementation of meaningful use, the federal electronic health record incentive program, the Affordable Care Act, and additional forces pushed for increased telehealth capabilities.7 In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed, providing further support for the expansion of telehealth (Fant et al., 2021, p. 17).

HOW YOU BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
Student briefs
These can be extensive or short, depending on the depth of analysis required and the demands of the instructor. A comprehensive brief includes the following elements:
1. Title and Citation
2. Facts of the Case
3. Issues
4. Decisions (Holdings)
5. Reasoning (Rationale)
6. Separate Opinions
7. Analysis
1. Title and Citation

The  title of the case shows who is opposing whom. The name of the person who initiated legal action in that particular court will always appear first. Since the losers often appeal to a higher court, this can get confusing. The first section of this guide shows you how to identify the players without a scorecard.
The  citation tells how to locate the reporter of the case in the appropriate case reporter. If you know only the title of the case, the citation to it can be found using the  case digest covering that court, through Google Scholar, or one of the electronic legal databases subscribed to by the library ( Westlaw or  LEXIS-NEXIS).
2. Facts of the Case

A good student brief will include a summary of the pertinent facts and legal points raised in the case. It will show the nature of the litigation, who sued whom, based on what occurrences, and what happened in the lower court/s.
The facts are often conveniently summarized at the beginning of the court’s published opinion. Sometimes, the best statement of the facts will be found in a dissenting or concurring opinion. WARNING! Judges are not above being selective about the facts they emphasize. This can become of crucial importance when you try to reconcile apparently inconsistent cases, because the way a judge chooses to characterize and “edit” the facts often determines which way he or she will vote and, as a result, which rule of law will be applied.
The fact section of a good student brief will include the following elements:
· A one-sentence description of the nature of the case, to serve as an introduction.
· A statement of the relevant law, with quotation marks or underlining to draw attention to the key words or phrases that are in dispute.
· A summary of the complaint (in a civil case) or the indictment (in a criminal case) plus relevant evidence and arguments presented in court to explain who did what to whom and why the case was thought to involve illegal conduct.
· A summary of actions taken by the lower courts, for example: defendant convicted; conviction upheld by appellate court; Supreme Court granted certiorari.
3. Issues

The issues or questions of law raised by the facts peculiar to the case are often stated explicitly by the court. Again, watch out for the occasional judge who misstates the questions raised by the lower court’s opinion, by the parties on appeal, or by the nature of the case.
Constitutional cases frequently involve multiple issues, some of interest only to litigants and lawyers, others of broader and enduring significant to citizens and officials alike. Be sure you have included both.
With rare exceptions, the outcome of an appellate case will turn on the meaning of a provision of the Constitution, a law, or a judicial doctrine. Capture that provision or debated point in your restatement of the issue. Set it off with quotation marks or underline it. This will help you later when you try to reconcile conflicting cases.
When noting issues, it may help to phrase them in terms of questions that can be answered with a precise “yes” or “no.”
For example, the famous case of  Brown v. Board of Education involved the applicability of a provision of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to a school board’s practice of excluding black pupils from certain public schools solely due to their race. The precise wording of the Amendment is “no state shall… deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” The careful student would begin by identifying the key phrases from this amendment and deciding which of them were really at issue in this case. Assuming that there was no doubt that the school board was acting as the State, and that Miss Brown was a “person within its jurisdiction,” then the  key issue would be “Does the exclusion of students from a public school solely on the basis of race amount to a denial of ‘equal protection of the laws’?”
Of course, the implications of this case went far beyond the situation of Miss Brown, the Topeka School Board, or even public education. They cast doubt on the continuing validity of prior decisions in which the Supreme Court had held that restriction of Black Americans to “separate but equal” facilities did not deny them “equal protection of the laws.” Make note of any such implications in your statement of issues at the end of the brief, in which you set out your observations and comments.
NOTE: Many students misread cases because they fail to see the issues in terms of the applicable law or judicial doctrine than for any other reason. There is no substitute for taking the time to frame carefully the questions, so that they actually incorporate the key provisions of the law in terms capable of being given precise answers. It may also help to label the issues, for example, “procedural issues,” “substantive issues,” “legal issue,” and so on. Remember too, that the same case may be used by instructors for different purposes, so part of the challenge of briefing is to identify those issues in the case which are of central importance to the topic under discussion in class.
4. Decisions

The decision, or holding, is the court’s answer to a question presented to it for answer by the parties involved or raised by the court itself in its own reading of the case. There are narrow procedural holdings, for example, “case reversed and remanded,” broader substantive holdings which deal with the interpretation of the Constitution, statutes, or judicial doctrines. If the issues have been drawn precisely, the holdings can be stated in simple “yes” or “no” answers or in short statements taken from the language used by the court.
5. Reasoning

The reasoning, or rationale, is the chain of argument which led the judges in either a majority or a dissenting opinion to rule as they did. This should be outlined point by point in numbered sentences or paragraphs.
6. Separate Opinions

Both concurring and dissenting opinions should be subjected to the same depth of analysis to bring out the major points of agreement or disagreement with the majority opinion. Make a note of how each justice voted and how they lined up. Knowledge of how judges of a particular court normally line up on particular issues is essential to anticipating how they will vote in future cases involving similar issues.
7. Analysis

Here the student should evaluate the significance of the case, its relationship to other cases, its place in history, and what is shows about the Court, its members, its decision-making processes, or the impact it has on litigants, government, or society. It is here that the implicit assumptions and values of the Justices should be probed, the “rightness” of the decision debated, and the logic of the reasoning considered.
A cautionary note
Don’t brief the case until you have read it through at least once. Don’t think that because you have found the judge’s best purple prose you have necessarily extracted the essence of the decision. Look for unarticulated premises, logical fallacies, manipulation of the factual record, or distortions of precedent. Then ask, how does this case relate to other cases in the same general area of law? What does it show about judicial policymaking? Does the result violate your sense of justice or fairness? How might it have been better decided?

Each member is selling three different types of candy bars: the Traditional, the Crunch Magic, and the Caramel Joy. The students have decided to sell within their own neighborhoods to minimize the driving required and to avoid oversaturating any one market. Each student is required to sell 45 candy bars at $2 per candy bar. The student takes the orders and then delivers the candy bars at the end of the sale period.
Rosario, the band leader, hands out order sheets so all the bandmembers can enter the appropriate sales information. Rosario collects the completed order sheets and then brings the appropriate number of candy bars to the respective neighborhoods so students can deliver them to the customers/supporters.
At the end of the fundraiser, every student sold 45 candy bars in the following amounts:
Petra (13 Traditionals, 29 Crunch Magics, 3 Caramel Joys)

Prepare a 3 to 5-minute speech that is a story about something that happened to you and is not generally known by others. Your story might be humorous, serious, or somewhere in between. It might be about something that happened recently or about an event from your past.
As you prepare your speech, think about how to tell the story so that your audience can easily follow what you are saying. We tell most stories in chronological order, introducing people in the story as they make their appearance in the events. You can help your audience follow your story if you chunk in two, three, or four sequential parts, similar to the chapters of a book.
Make sure that your story is appropriate for the classroom.
Your story should be at least three double-spaced pages or a 3-5 minute video.
