Project: Final Course Project: Presentation Imagine you are preparing to give a presentation to the United Nations General Assembly or the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights advocating for a racial or ethnic group from a country of your choosing. In the analysis you offer, you want to accomplish the following: Provide your audience with an effective summary of the history of the racial or ethnic group you have chosen as it relates to prejudice, discrimination, and assimilation they have experienced in that country. You would want to present in-depth coverage of 2–3 important events or circumstances that shaped this history so as to be compelling to your audience. Analyze in-depth 2–3 examples of stereotypes and instances of discrimination that the racial or ethnic group has faced. Show proof of inequality by comparing their participation rates, employment levels, poverty rates, and income levels with another racial or ethnic group in that country. Convincingly analyze the social, political, economic, and contextual factors that have contributed to the prejudice, discrimination, and assimilation experienced by the racial or ethnic group you have chosen to analyze. Describe a possible future scenario of racial and ethnic interaction in the country you chose to examine based on the trends you see emerging in that country. Justify the reasoning behind your outlook. Note: Your analysis should involve a racial or ethnic group you chose to discuss in Weeks 3 (Jewish Americans), or week 4 (South Africa). Support your analysis by making at least five documented references to your course readings and five documented references to scholarly resources found through the Walden Library. Follow the examples of documentation in the “Common Reference List Examples” and apply proper APA formatting to cite your sources. Each slide should be accompanied by substantial notes (within the “Notes” section) that provide greater details into each point addressed in that slide. Use pictures and graphics only if they add to the effectiveness of your presentation. All external sources (data, quotes, images, graphics, etc.) need to be properly cited.

Stratification and Prejudice in Current Events The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice in current events. Despite great advances towards equality between the races and genders, racial and gender discrimination, as well as class stratification remain serious social problems. To conclude this course, you will use the news media to discover current social issues with regards to race and gender. To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks: Using newspapers, news websites, or news magazines, select three current events (within the last six months) that reflect our studies on stratification. One event should represent racial issues, one gender issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination and/or stratification in American society. Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification. Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles. What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be applied to these current events? In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to the current events. How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources. Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper should include a title page and reference. Your paper should be at least five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Assignment 1 Grading Criteria Selected and used research to describe three current events, one each that addresses racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification. Analyzed each current event, incorporating theories and concepts from the text, lecture, and appropriate outside resources. Compared the current events to historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification. Suggested possible solutions for each current event. Applied personal experiences and observations to the current events. Analyzed the media’s role in perpetuating discrimination and/or stratification .

Create an informative public information piece that presents research on institutional discrimination within a specific social institution. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: SHOW LESS Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy. Create an effective public information piece that conveys a clear, cohesive message about institutional inequality. Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U.S. culture. Analyze data on the factors contributing to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution to make valid sociological arguments. Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data. Explain ways in which public policies are linked to racial, ethnic, or other disparities within a specific institution. Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class. Assess the impact of institutional discrimination on minorities and minority communities. Competency 5: Apply diversity strategies in professional, educational, and personal contexts. Describe policy strategies for reducing institutional discrimination. Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting. Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics. Often, discrimination is discussed as a primarily individual phenomenon—one-on-one actions in which one person discriminates against another. But as you have learned through your studies and research, some discrimination occurs at the institutional level, despite laws and policies that have been created to reduce or eliminate structural racism. SHOW LESS It is important to consider how different experiences for minority groups may reflect a dominant culture that practices systemic discrimination in terms of treatment or access to valued resources. In other words, if there are many individuals in a society who are not racist or discriminatory, can the same also be said of the institutions in U.S. society as a whole? Often, institutional discrimination involves the intersection of race or ethnicity with other variables, like social class and gender. For example, patterns of residential segregation may be connected to both race and ethnicity, as well as socioeconomic status. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

Assessment 4 Create a 15-20-slide presentation or a 15-20-minute speech on either same-sex marriage or immigration policy. Note: You must complete this assessment before starting on Assessment 5. Many of the current political, legal, and social debates in U.S. society concern diversity and its related issues. Two of those debates have centered on immigration policy and same-sex marriage. These debates involve not only arguments regarding discriminatory treatment of particular ethnic groups or sexual minorities but also legal, economic, and religious questions and concerns. In this assessment, you apply the sociological perspective to one of these debates. You research the political players and key arguments on the different sides of your chosen controversy, and you place them in historical and contemporary context to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the debate, and current and proposed policy solutions. Understanding the key developments and policy changes that pertain to your debate puts you in a position in which you can more accurately evaluate the merits of arguments made by politicians, leaders, and others with a stake in shaping future po ...

Discussion: Frequencies/Percentages (Discrete or Non-Continuous) One of the first examples of applying statistical analysis in the social sciences comes from W.E.B. Du Bois, a renowned African American scholar and civil rights activist. In 1899, he published The Philadelphia Negro, a groundbreaking study of the population of the 7th ward of Philadelphia. Du Bois relied on survey data he collected himself from 5000 residents. By relying on quantitative analyses, Du Bois was able to provide evidence that prevalent, contemporary discriminatory policies along with unequal opportunity created and perpetuated poverty and low socio-economic status. This research challenged the racist views held by many white Philadelphians at the time that African Americans were somehow inferior. Using survey data based on sound research design allows scholar-practitioners to compute frequencies and percentages in order to explore social problems and potentially reshape how people define problems in ways that can effect positive social change. Reference: Du Bois, W. E. B. (1899). The Philadelphia negro. Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Press. For this Discussion, use the US Demographic Information dataset in the Learning Resources. To Prepare: Please note that a red state is the term given to a U.S. state in which a majority of the electorate votes for the Republican candidate in a statewide election, whereas a blue state is the term given to a U.S. state in which a majority of the electorate votes for the Democratic candidate in a statewide election. In contrast, a purple state (or swing state) is the term given to a U.S. state in which both the Democratic and Republican candidates have a good chance of winning and is considered key to the outcome of a presidential election. Using the US Demographic Information dataset, add a column (categorical variable) to your dataset that indicates the political affiliation of each state (i.e., red, blue, or purple). Then, save the dataset with the new column and title it, “US Demographic Information _PA” dataset. You will use this new dataset again in Week 9. Search the Internet for a reliable, current source containing the political affiliation for each state. Input the overall political affiliation (i.e., red, blue, or purple) for each state included in your dataset. Compute the frequency and percentage by political affiliation of all states. Then compute the percentile rank and standardized score by political affiliation for all states. For students using the PSPP statistical software program, review the Learning Resources document Working With Datasets Job Aid for information about how to complete the tasks identified in the To Prepare and Post activities. By Day 4, Post the frequencies and percentages of the variable political affiliation , using data from all the states.

According to Huntington (1993), "civilization identity will become increasingly important to future generations likely contributing to the most significant conflicts." He believed that culture and cultural identities, which at the broadest level are civilization identities, are shaping the patterns of cohesion, disintegration, and conflict in the post–Cold War world. Today, the United States (be sure to always put "the" in front of US if it is used as an acronym) finds itself involved in two major and highly unpopular wars, one of the worst economies in decades, and a less-than-stellar international reputation where issues of homeland security are raising questions about its commitment to equality and diversity.

Please follow the sequence below to stay organized with your research and contributions. POST YOUR SUBMISSION IN THE DISCUSSION BOARD ASSIGNED TO LESSON 7 (Not your team's board). Title your post - Your Country and your name Begin by reading chapters 14 and 15 of the textbook, and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Links to an external site.. Part 2: Then each complete an analysis using the following facts pattern: CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Free trade among these nations have both pros and cons. Imagine that you represent the country assigned to you by your professor, and then speculate about both the positive and negative effects that NAFTA may have on the country you are assigned from the perspectives of the individuals listed (business leader, laborer, government); share your speculations with the class. Be sure to include the following in your post: 1. Provide information about the benefits of free trade to ALL countries involved (this can be a table) 2. From the perspectives of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what the drawbacks are of free trade – provide specific examples supported by researchable data, 3. Respond to 2 classmates (1 person from your same team AND another person from another team From the perspective of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what your predictions and recommendations are for the future of NAFTA. When replying to your classmates' posts: Read your classmate's post and reply to no less than two of your classmates and a question. Your question should be one of the following three types: · Clarification Based: This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to clarify points that you think could be more fully explained. · Evidence question - When a writer states something as fact rather than personal opinion, your peers argument is stronger if they cite evidence that the fact is true. Facts can be evidenced, in approximate order of strongest evidence to weakest, (1) by citing trustworthy data, (2) by citing the opinions of experts, (3) by citing repeatable personal experience, or (4) by citing common opinion. This kind of question helps the writer by asking for evidence if the student states something as fact but doesn't cite evidence. · Hypothetical question - This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to test their argument by applying it to a situation that you specify. Please note that a discussion is an exchange. Participate regularly and solicit feedback from your peers. Posts needing a response: Student 1: Stude.

PURPOSE: To begin applying critical lenses (theory) to both the literary reading and writing processes. You’ll analyze a piece of fiction using the fundamental premises and rules of interpretation outlined by a school of criticism. In this first paper you will focus on intrinsic analysis, doing a close study of the various literary elements, language and patterns that create meaning in the text. While the two critical lenses differ considerably, both function on the premise that analysis of the “text and the text and alone” best reveals meaning. (Psychoanalytic criticism does include several components that emphasize extrinsic analysis , but several of its modes of interpretation subscribe to or allow for intrinsic analysis.) ASSIGNMENT: In a 4-5 page, MLA-formatted paper, analyze one of the short stories selected for the paper using either New Criticism or Psychoanalytic Criticism. (Below-page 2- you will find a list of short stories on which you can base this first paper. I will post a list of additional stories and their attending summaries in another document that goes with this prompt.) Your paper should include direct quotes that support your examples, a clear and thoughtful thesis (you’ll find examples of an intro/thesis for both schools of criticisms in the theory folders on Blackboard – the New Critical example is already posted). DRAFT DUE DATE : THURS, 6/29. (If you want the opportunity to submit a revision, you need to turn in a completed paper on the draft due date – one that meets length and topic requirements.) FINAL DRAFT DUE DATE: One week after I return the paper to you LITERARY SELECTIONS: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas : “ One child is chosen from the population to serve as a sacrifice that will allow the rest of the city to live in peace and plenty. The child is placed in a small, windowless room without any amenities and is completely cut off from the rest of society except for the short visits from those who come to view the child. When they learn of the child’s existence, the people of Omelas battle with the knowledge of The child, who suffers for them, and the guilt they feel as a result of their knowledge. Red Card : “What if the government gave everybody one free pass to shoot one person, any person, for whatever reason? . . . S.L.

Purpose of Assignment Students will employ the supply and demand model to develop consumer surplus and producer surplus as a measure of welfare and market efficiency. Students learn about welfare economics--the study of how the allocation of resources affects economic well-being--and will discover that under most circumstances, the equilibrium price and quantity is also the one that maximizes welfare. Students will review different sources of externalities and a variety of potential cures and will see that while markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity, governments can sometimes improve market outcomes. Students will see how the U.S. government raises and spends money and the difficulty of making a tax system both efficient and equitable. Assignment Steps Scenario: You have been assigned to a team that has the responsibility of preparing a paper for the governor's next economic conference. Prepare a 1,050-word paper addressing the following: Explain why equilibrium of supply and demand is desirable. Explain the following concepts using the concept of consumer and producer surplus: Efficiency of markets Costs of taxation Benefits of international trade Discuss how externalities may prevent market equilibrium and the various governments policies used to remedy the inefficiencies in markets caused by externalities. Analyze the difference between the efficiency of a tax system and the equity of a tax system as it refers to the costs imposed on taxpayers using the benefits principles.

Scenario: Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the Circular Club of Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to suggest a new fundraising activity for the club. After a considerable amount of research, Shelley proposed the Circular Club sponsor a professional rodeo. In her presentation to the club, Shelley recommends the fundraiser become an annual activity with the following goals: Continue to grow each year Give back to the community Provide the club a presence in the community Shelley's goal in the first year is to have an activity that would become an "annual community event" and would break even the first year and raise $5,000 the following year. In addition, based on the experience of other communities, Shelley believed a rodeo could grow in popularity so the club would eventually earn an average of $20,000 annually. A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world's oldest and largest rodeo-sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional rodeo. The sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the following five events: Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, and Calf Roping, Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize money in the amount of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the seven events. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated with the rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably not be sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent letters to local businesses soliciting contributions in exchange for various sponsorships. Exhibiting Sponsorships are $1,000 to exhibit products or services, while Major Sponsorships are $600, and Chute Sponsorships are $500 to have the name of the sponsor's business on one of the six bucking chutes. For a contribution of $100, individual sponsors will be included in a Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs. A local youth group will be contacted to provide concessions to the public and divide the profits with the Circular Club. The Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June 1, 2, and 3. The cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or $10 at the gate; the cost of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is set at $6 in .

Purpose of Assignment In Week 2, students will employ the supply and demand model to develop consumer surplus and producer surplus as a measure of welfare and market efficiency. Students learn about welfare economics--the study of how the allocation of resources affects economic well-being--and will discover that under most circumstances, the equilibrium price and quantity is also the one that maximizes welfare. Students will review different sources of externalities and a variety of potential cures and will see that while markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity, governments can sometimes improve market outcomes. Students will see how the U.S. government raises and spends money and the difficulty of making a tax system both efficient and equitable. Assignment Steps Scenario: Imagine you have been assigned the responsibility of preparing a paper for the governor's next economic conference. Prepare a 1,050-word paper addressing the following: Explain why equilibrium of supply and demand is desirable. Explain the following concepts using the concept of consumer and producer surplus: Efficiency of markets Costs of taxation Benefits of international trade Discuss how externalities may prevent market equilibrium and the various governments policies used to remedy the inefficiencies in markets caused by externalities. Analyze the difference between the efficiency of a tax system and the equity of a tax system as it refers to the costs imposed on taxpayers using the benefits principles. Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources, not including your textbook. Format consistent with APA guidelines. Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment. .

Purpose: Comment the Discussion ( Which theory speaks to your advanced nursing practice?) Thing to Remember: • Answer this discussion with opinions/ideas creatively and clearly. Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources. • 1 References, f ind resources that are 5 years or less • No errors with APA format 6 Edition Discussion: ( Which theory speaks to your advanced nursing practice?) One of the theorists that speaks to my nursing practice is Madeleine Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality otherwise known as transcultural nursing. The theory of transcultural nursing promotes understanding of both the universally held and common understandings of care among humans and the culture-specific caring beliefs and behaviors that define any particular caring context of interaction (Butts & Rich, 2018, p. 572). Culture is the specific pattern of behavior that distinguishes any society from others and gives meaning to human expressions of care (McFarland & Wehbe-Alamah, 2015). This theory is intended to view the patient as a whole being. As an APN, this theory will allow me to be considerate of my patient’s needs. In turn, they will feel respected and listened to and hopefully this will promote a long-lasting relationship. Leininger discovered that inadequate knowledge of cultural factors represented a missing link in her ability to provide care (Nelson, 2006). As a future APN, I recognize the need and sometimes missing component of culture care nursing in our women’s health practice today. For example, in South Dakota we have a lot of Native American reservations. Since we see a number of Native American women, I think it would be beneficial for me to better understand their culture and beliefs related to healthcare in order to offer these women expert care. Also, with Leininger’s transcultural nursing theory she believes seeing the patient as a whole and to appreciate that the patient represents a complex constellation of physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, social, environmental, and economic factors that interact and contribute to the patient’s unique wholeness and influence their ability to participate in health promotion, health maintenance, and disease modifying activities (McFarland & Eipperle, 2008). As an APN, by viewing the patient as a whole and recognizing their diversities, I will provide better patient care in which caring will be the main focus and recognizing that their different beliefs and cultures play a part in their decision making to the different treatment options.

CASE STUDY AND BULLET POINTS: Andrew Rockfish and the co- owners have been looking for a competitive edge in the North American market that will translate well to the other divisions. A recent meeting of the owners resulted in the decision to target business organizations with custom services. This decision stems from recent feedback from customers that revealed that for GDD to anticipate the needs of their clients, suppliers and service vendors, the Company needed to decrease the turnaround time in delivery and the mailing of small packages and letters. Rockfish has decided to offer “boutique” services to its business customers. Catering to businesses will allow GDD to provide personal services that Fed Ex and UPS cannot offer. Customizing the services will allow GDD to increase prices while creating a new niche.

Purpose: Discussion Thing to Remember: Answer this discussion with opinions/ideas creatively and clearly. Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources. 1 References, try to find resources that are 5 years or less No errors with APA format. --------------- Discussion: Opinion Leaders This page automatically marks posts as read as you scroll. Adjust automatic marking as read setting I chose to further my education in hopes of providing better patient care and education. I want to be seen as an influence and a primary healthcare provider. My goal is to provide specialized, high-leveled care to patients with different backgrounds. An opinion leader is someone who has strong influence within a work place, giving of their time and experience, and creates strategies to help change an initiative. An opinion leader earns their role after much experience and expertise. Others look to them for advice and new information (Hamric, Hanson, Tracy, & O’Grady, 2014). When problems arise in a work environment, employees will look towards opinion leaders and others who will lead them through the stressors and crises. In order to be successful as an opinion leader, staff must be committed to serving the organization and devote time for teaching. Patient and staff safety should always be at the forefront. Not one person knows all the answers, but once we live through various experiences our abilities and competence improve and widen (Kai Tiaki, 2014). Communication skills can improve opinion leaders abilities. It is important that communication allows everyone’s voice to be heard, in an open, non-combative manner. In order for piers and other staff to have a positive trusting relationship with the opinion leader, they must feel as though they are being heard and also guided in difficult situations (Pollard & Wild, 2014). By the end of the summer, I am hoping my schedule allows me to become a preceptor for new graduates. I view that role as being an opinion leader for an individual, which would progress to a small group. I would love the opportunity to mold new fellows with everything I have learned so far as a postpartum nurse. When a newer nurse comes to me for advice, I want them to feel safe. My goal is never to talk down to someone making him or her feel inadequate for coming to me for help in the first place. If I do not know how to solve the issue I have been made aware of, I seek guidance from another senior nurse. I feel as though a good opinion leader wants others to seek their guidance instead of possibly making a mistake. References Hamric, A. B., Hanson, C. M., Tracy, M. F., & O’Grady, E. T. (2014).

Purpose: A Comment to Discussion: Team Dynamics Thing to Remember: Answer this discussion with opinions/ideas creatively and clearly. Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources. 1 References, find resources that are 5 years or less No errors with APA format 6th edition Discussion: Team Dynamics As healthcare providers, we should aim to provide safe and quality care to patients while working with other members of the interdisciplinary team. However, teamwork is not always easy. I would like to explicate some of the characteristics of the interdisciplinary team that can prove to be beneficial to teamwork, as well as those that can hinder the teamwork process. I feel the most important aspect of teamwork is proper communication. Without communication, information cannot be conveyed to other members of the team. According to Lavoie-Tremblay et al. (2014) “team building requires considerable attention to interpersonal and communication skills” (p. 23). Members of the team must also share respect for one another and act in a professional manner through team interactions. Also, I think it is important for each team member to know the role they play within the team. In a study where a Learning Collaborative Program was initiated to help providers learn how to work in a team, they discovered the “teams needed opportunities to first learn about each other’s scope of practice and skill sets, develop a common language for communication, and understand how their scope of practice can be leveraged to improve team functioning and patient care” (Kotecha et al., 2015, p. 228). There is always another side to every story. There are some conditions that make teamwork in healthcare very difficult. Teamwork can be even more complicated when healthcare providers must make ethical decisions. The members of the interdisciplinary team have different personalities and perspectives that can affect teamwork. Hamric, Hanson, Tracy, and O’Grady (2014) postulate that “these differing positions can lead to creative and collaborative decision making or to a breakdown in communication and lack of problem solving” (p. 329). Other aspects identified by Lavoie-Tremblay et al. (2014) that can impact teamwork are psychological demands (of the job), social support (from colleagues and superiors), effort-reward balance, and healthcare providers’ experience with patients (p. 19). These aspects can impact teamwork in a positive or negative way. References Hamric, A. B., Hanson, C. M., Tracy, M. F., & O'Grady, E. T. (2014).

Week Three’s Business Writing Essay assignment Business Report: Poor Employee Performance Employees form a very important part of the organization because they directly contribute towards the performance of the organization (Weightman, 2008). The employees of New World Solution s Ltd (NWSL) have been found to be performing poorly because they rarely meet the objectives that have set for them. For this reason, the company is facing problems in the market because its competitiveness is very low. It has been unable to meet its targets and this is having a negative impact on its general performance. Keeping in mind that the employees are the driving force of any organization, their poor performance implies that the organization cannot perform as expected. It is, therefore, necessary for corrective measures to be put in place to ensure that employees are able to perform as expected of them by the organization as well as other stakeholders. The performance of employees is greatly affected by motivation and this implies that the organization should find out the different reasons as to why employees are not motivated and solve the problem . It is important for NWSL to take a look at the situation and reveal the different factors that are affecting the situation. This will reveal the problem and.
