Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising of a five-tier model of human needs. Maslow proposed that human needs can be organized into a hierarchy. This hierarchy ranges from more concrete needs such as food and water to abstract concepts such as self-fulfillment. According to Maslow, when a lower need is met, the next need on the hierarchy becomes our focus of attention. Nursing school can be very stressful, adding financial strain, taking time away from family, friends, activities that you enjoy, and more importantly, time away from yourself. This assignment is meant for you to slow down and reflect on your own needs, the stress you may be feeling (and not know you are), and perhaps focus your attention on what matters most at this point in time. There are three parts to this assignment. Please label and follow them accordingly.
PART 1:

Make a list of any issues, problems, needs, wants, or distractions that you are currently experiencing that can potentially distract you from pursuing your educational goals. These things should be things that are interfering with your ability to stay focused on this journey. These things may include lack of motivation, financial problems, work related issues, poor self-esteem, relationships, childcare issues, lack academic skills, transportation problems, social distractions,…

Place this list under a header “Part 1”

Part 2:

Next, go back to your initial list and decide which type of need each of these fall under; Physiological, Safety, Love & Belonging, Esteem, Self-Actualization). If you are unsure where something may go, then ask yourself what that thing means to you. (Car = can mean Safety and Security; Popularity with friends; or Ego feel good about self). If an item represents more than one type of need, then list all that apply, but take note of which need is primary.

Once this is completed, go back and create the list based on the need you gave them. Start with your physiological needs, and then list your safety, followed by love and belonging, esteem and lastly, self actualization.

Place this list under a header “Part 2”

Part 3:

Now that you have prioritized your needs according to Maslows Theory, you should be able to better focus where you should be spending your energy consider starting by addressing those issues that are lowest on Maslows triangle. In other words, focus on meeting your physiological needs, followed by safety, love and belonging, esteem and lastly, self-actualization. If you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed by multiple, simultaneous issues, using this approach can be helpful. If at any time you feel overwhelmed and are not sure how to address the needs you listed above, please do not hesitate to ask for help.

Please answer the following questions:

What do you feel the main purpose of this assignment was?
How do the needs you identified impact your overall success? Do you feel they have a positive or negative impact?
How could this exercise benefit your patients?
Other thoughts or reflections?

Objectives of this Assignment:

1) To identify any needs, you have which may be interfering with your ability to focus on school.

For the respective country, the student will:
– Describe its international climate change commitment (so-called Nationally Determined
Contribution or NDC) under the Paris Agreement (the version available in English);
– Assess, discuss and explain the NDCs coverage, level of ambition and fairness, and alignment with
the overall objective of the Paris Agreement.
– Use an existing coding scheme to assess the NDCs alignment with the countrys domestic climate
change policies.
Overall, the case study will thus situate the countrys NDC between the two objectives of satisfying
domestic (climate-, energy-, or other related) interests and the international global goal of addressing
climate change.
The written assignment will be based on literature provided during the course, data sources and coding
schemes suggested during the course, additional literature and information sources that the student will
collect, and own critical thinking. Complete and correct referencing will be assessed. As in any written
assignment, plagiarism is not allowed.

Writing Prompt Instructions Are In Additional Materials Folder; As well as two sample papers to draw from that was given to us as an example by the Professor. Explain how federally legalizing marijuana will help stimulate and boost our economy on the state and national level.
Basic Formatting and Style Guidelines for Written Work

The following material outlines the general guidelines for Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.) using the author-date system.

GENERAL FORMAT

Title Page – should include exact title of the paper, the course name, instructors name, the date, and the name of the writer. Never use plastic covers. A simple typed/printed sheet is preferred.

Body or Text – The paper should be typed, double-spaced, with adequate margins of one inch on all four sides. Erasures and corrections should be limited and neat.

Paging – Do not number the first page of text, all others should be numbered starting with the number 2. Be consistent in number placement.

Quotations – Directly quoted material should be distinguished from the general text. Do not overuse quotations. Use only when the material cannot be easily paraphrased or is already written in a particularly effective manner.
Quotations three lines or less in length should be enclosed in quotation marks and placed as regular text.
Quotations four or more lines in length must be indented five spaces from the left and right and must be single-spaced for the entire quote. Do not use quotation marks for indented quotes.
If there is an error in the original quote, indicate this by inserting [sic] (within brackets, not parentheses). If your machine cannot make brackets, then write them by hand with ink.
If, in order to enter a quotation smoothly, other words need to be added within the quote, enclose them in brackets as described above.
If portions of a quote are left out, use ellipses (three spaced dots) to show the gaps. For example: The professor read the paper . . . and went out of his mind. If a new sentence begins immediately following the ellipses, add a period.

Numbers – Spell out numbers one through ten and numbers that begin a sentence. Spell out all round numbers that can be expressed in two words. Use Arabic numbers for all others. Exceptions: use Arabic numbers for percentages, decimals, dates, exact sums of money, and page numbers.

Other Tips

Avoid contractions in formal papers.
Its is the possessive of It; Its means It is.
Their is a possessive form, There means the direction.
Do not abuse computer format powers. Fonts should approximate regular type size, do not use justified margins which create large gaps, etc.
Avoid abbreviations in the text of formal writing, with the exception of acronyms for technical terms or organization names used repeatedly. When employing acronyms, provide the full name in first use followed by the acronym to be employed in parentheses. Be consistent with acronyms. Example: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) faces many challenges… In later years the EPA ….
Avoid the first person. Let the writing speak for itself without references to yourself.

IN-TEXT REFERENCES

Four basic concepts should guide your use of references:

Using the information and thoughts of others is a basic and admirable element of research, as long as the original author is given credit.
Good references help the reader learn more about the subject; the reader will be thankful and respect your scholarship.
Using information and ideas without providing references weakens the paper since the reader may question the validity and honesty of your material.
The following elements of a paper require reference notes:
a) All direct quotes.
b) All factual statements, statistics, or unique observations gathered from sources other than yourself. Even if you paraphrase, the idea is not yours originally.
c) All specific terminology, systems of analysis (typologies etc.), and theoretical concepts found in other sources.

Basic Format
Cite the authors (or authors) surname(s), followed by the date of publication and the page(s) where the material can be found in parentheses immediately before and after. If the document does not have page numbers, then put “n.p.”. The basic goal is to identify the specific location of the cited material and to enable the reader to find the appropriate source in the bibliography. The in-text citation needs to directly match the source in the bibliography.

Examples:
In-Text: 1. The Wealth of Nations argues that an invisible hand will create the greatest public good through the marketplace (Smith, 1776, 100-102).

2. The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008 U.S. dollars (CDC, 2017, n.p.).
*Notice the period comes after the in-text citation and not after
