Order Description i took a first run at this paper, but my proff pointed out specific points in which he wants added to this paper. Im out of time!!:) I will upload the paper,and my hope is that you can add the missing parts,using most of my original work.your 5 pages along with my 7 pages will complete the paper. What follows is what i need added to the paper, along with my proff comments. "CULTURAL COMPETENCY: Recognizes cultural diversity within the context represented in the paper ? Demonstrates awareness of her/his cultural worldview and is able to recognize the boundaries, biases and blind spots of that particular cultural perspective. Comments: Rating This paper lacks much demonstration of cultural awareness, specifically how your cultural background influenced your perspectives in doing this research. PC FORMAT: demonstrates writing and research skills using APA style and citations Comments: Rating While the content of the paper is strong, the references lacked appropriate APA style. It also seemed that the formatting that was used in writing the paper resulted in words being split in weird ways between lines of type, which made the reading a little difficult at times. PC CRITICAL THINKING: demonstrates skills in the assessment and analysis of the ideas of others and the capacity to construct original ideas Comments: Rating This paper seemed to lack an appropriate level of critical thinking. It seemed like you were basically writing as an advocate for better mental health treatment for the mentally ill and homeless, rather than representing both sides of the conflict. PC OVERALL Comments: Rating While I think the topic is one that is a conflict in our community, and it seemed like you gathered significant data on the issue, it seemed to only represent one side of the issue, Gia. What are the arguments and mental models that allow the situation to continue? You also did not include your Self in this paper in terms of the importance of this issue for you and the impact on you of writing the paper.
