Limitations to share buybacks

Suppose that the European Commission (hereafter, the “Commission”) is considering
amendments to its framework to remove any existing limitations to share buybacks, similarly to what already happens in the United States. The Commission retains you as legal and policy advisor in charge of the dossier, and asks for your expertise on the following issues:

1. Which act(s) and which specific provision(s) of the existing legal framework should the Commission amend?

2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of removing limits to share buybacks? More specifically, is there any particular risks associated with eliminating the requirement that buybacks should not exceed 10% of the subscribed capital?

3. Taking into accounts the advantages and disadvantages that you identified in no. 2. above, what is your technical advice for the Commission (i.e., to amend or not to amend?) and why?

Discuss how patient care that you have provided has influenced your career and your decision to continue your education.

Adler’s discussion of safeguarding tendencies.

Examine Adler’s three safeguarding tendencies in the text. Select one of the tendencies (excuses,
aggression, or withdrawal) and compare the selected tendency with an instance of safeguarding
that you find in Scripture. Discuss how the safeguarding tendency was used in the biblical
narrative. Identify areas in your life where you are prone to use safeguarding tendencies. What
can we learn from the Scriptures about what God thinks about safeguarding tendencies?

Crisis and Gospel

Formulate a thread to answer the questions at the end of the following scenario: You’re called as a crisis interventionist to the hospital following a fatal DUI accident. As you arrive, you meet a man whose wife was killed in the accident. You discover by his language and tone that he is angry and wants nothing to do with God right now. Based on Jesus’ exemplary model of a crisis counselor, what is the best way to approach this man as a crisis interventionist? Do you think it’s okay to discuss the theological importance of biblical salvation with this man immediately following the car accident. Why or why not? Use Wright’s descriptions of Jesus in Chapter 1 and Scriptural passages of Jesus’ meetings with others in crisis to support your answer.

Four elements of crisis

Wright, in chapter 7, says that the word “crisis” doesn’t appear in the Bible. However, many people throughout the Bible experienced a crisis state. Choose one biblical figure from the Old or New Testament and briefly describe the crisis. In your thread, define each of the four common elements of a crisis described by Wright and how the figure you chose experienced each of the four common elements.

Big ideas in social

Understanding the major concepts of social psychology will provide a foundation for success in
this course. Find each of these “Big Ideas” within your
textbook, select a quote that summarizes the concept, provide a real-life example of the concept,
and reflect on what the Bible says about the concept.

Social cognition and perception.

Every day, people utilize social cognition and perception to understand their world and others. Your task is to explore and critically analyze a video clip from a television show or movie
that illustrates a concept related to social cognition or social perception found in chapter 2 or 3 of our textbook (e.g., schemas, self-fulfilling prophesy, availability heuristic, first impressions,
attributions, etc.). The information from the video clip will be compared to information found in our textbook.

Select only movie or television clips (not personally produced reels, TikToks, etc.). Do not choose a clip that may be offensive in terms of profanity, sexual innuendo, biased language, or unacceptable visuals. If you are not sure if your clip is acceptable, please choose a different
clip. Note: because it has been overused, please do not use clips from the movie “Mean Girls.”

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select a video clip from a movie or television show that demonstrates a concept related to social cognition or social perception (see chapters 2 and 3 in our textbook).
2. Analyze the clip in light of social psychology concepts (e.g., schemas, self-fulfilling prophesy, availability heuristic, first impressions, attributions, etc.).
3. Your paper must include the following:
a. Title Page
b. First section: Briefly summarize the clip
c. Second section: Identification, description and analysis of the illustrated concept
(e.g., schemas, self-fulfilling prophesy, availability heuristic, first impressions, attributions, etc.) with specific examples of how it is demonstrated in the clip (pretend that the reader knows nothing about social psychology and explain the phenomenon with citations from the textbook).
d. Third section: Evaluate how accurately or inaccurately the concept is represented.
e. Fourth section: Reflect on how the use of the concept was an advantage or
disadvantage in this case (e.g., did the heuristic help or hurt the character)
f. Reference page (Be sure to include the textbook and a link to the clip or a citation for the movie/tv show on your reference page)
4. Remember to use proper APA 7th formatting throughout the paper. Hint: use the items above as level-one headings in your paper: Summary, Discussion, Evaluation of Accuracy, Evaluation of Usefulness (Advantage/Disadvantage).
5. Before submitting your paper, use the grading rubric as a checklist to ensure that you have met all assignment requirements.

Attitudes-follow-behavior principle.

In your own words briefly describe this principle and provide an example you have experienced or directly observed in which a person’s behavior impacted his or her attitudes. In addition to this example, reflect on how this principle is supported in Scripture.

The role of a crisis interventionist

The role of a crisis interventionist can be a taxing one. Crisis interventionists are also human.
Add the complexities of knowing how to do crisis intervention with being a church member who
loves and wants to help people, and the line for how involved we get in a victim’s life can often
get blurred. In other words, as crisis interventionists, we have an ethical duty to set boundaries
and develop healthy coping skills.In his research at the Wellesley Project, Caplan (1964) discovered certain people were able to
cope better than others. Use Caplan’s Seven Characteristics of Effective Coping Behavior found
in the Kanel text as a basis for your own ability to cope. If this is what we’re helping others to
achieve, we must consider how well we ourselves do under pressure.
• Using proper citations, provide a brief description of Caplan’s seven characteristics of
effective coping behavior that were displayed by those who were able to climb out of
their crisis state and of those who did not enter a crisis.
• Reflect on how well you have managed these characteristics in crisis. You can use first
person figure of speech to write this section of the paper. What area do you consider a
strength and what area do you find you need to grow?

Discuss how individuals or organizations can or have used research in an unethical manner. What consequences have you seen or could be possible?
