Obama is driving in his car and suddenly his car starts to make a weird sound:

Obama: “Oh no! The muffler sounds bad… What if I have to take it to the maintenance shop?... I can’t afford the expense… I’d have to draw the money from Jamie’s college fund… What if I can’t afford his tuition?... That bad school report last week… What if his grades go down and he can’t get into college?...Muffler sounds bad…”

… And so Obama’s worrying mind spins on in an endless loop of ruminating thoughts, and it’s causing him lots of negative emotions.

Some cultures have built-in mechanism that allow people to take more control over their own health care and outcomes in an accepted way. How do you feel about the Hmong rejecting hospital care and refusing medication instructions? When do you have ultimate control over your health outcomes and under what circumstances are your choices limited?  Is the decision to end one's own life a choice that everyone in America should have? How does assisted suicide different from the choice to elect Hospice care?

How is the current American health care system failing patients? How is it failing providers and organizations? Do you believe that health is a right or a privilege?  Do you believe that everyone in America should be insured through a single-payer system? Why or why not?

What does it mean to say that, among human beings, our nature is to nurture?

Personality Types

Putting a team together is a difficult task. All team members cannot have the same personality; otherwise, you will have an imbalanced, monolithic bloc. You also cannot pick personnel at random; otherwise, you will end up spending much of your time trying to integrate them into a cohesive team. The reality is that you work with a multitude of different people—young, old, ambitious, less motivated, experienced, or inexperienced.

Given the fact that each person is unique, psychologists and sociologists have proposed several sets of traits that can categorize one's personality. Although the number of overall categories of people is always finite and much smaller compared to the population, the categories help us get an idea about people's character traits. Through this Discussion, you will learn a little more about yourself and others around you.To prepare for this Discussion complete a "Big Five" (OCEAN) personality assessment, such as The Big Five Personality Test or Big 5 Short Test. You will be evaluated on the following five dimensions of personality, the initials of which provide the OCEAN acronym:

Openness shows your readiness for new experiences.

Conscientiousness represents your self-discipline to plan and complete tasks.

Extroversion is the degree to which you seek out the company of others.

Agreeableness is your tendency toward compassion and cooperation.

Neuroticism, sometimes called nervousness or emotional instability, shows your predisposition toward emotions such as fear and anger.

You can learn more about the meaning of these dimensions from http://www.testsonthenet.com/cic-Big-Five.htm and http://oaks.nvg.org/eg6ra15.html

On the basis of your learning, respond to the following questions in two or three paragraphs:

Identify the two strongest dimensions of your personality—the ones that are closest to either end of the scale. Summarize your outlook and behavior in terms of these dimensions.

Which types of people and situations are the best for you to work in?

What types of personalities are the most difficult for you to interact with?

How will what you have learned as a result of this self-assessment affect your communication and resource management strategies?

Identify one critical infrastructure or key resource CI/KR with which you are most likely to interact in a typical day. Choose the one with which you are least likely to interact. Explain why you considered them to be critical in your daily life.

People often make snap judgments of others based on physical appearances (for example, adults with baby-faced features are seen as having childlike qualities).
