In some stories, characters come into conflict with the culture in which they live. Often, a character feels alienated in his/her community or society due to race, gender, class or ethnic background. Choose a text that shows this kind of conflict. How is the character alienated from community and how does she/he respond to it? What does that character’s alienation say about the surrounding society’s assumptions, morality and values? In what way(s) do literary elements reflect how that society defines race, gender, class and/or ethnicity? How does this create conflict for the character?

please do not submit plagiarized work. This is my second time submitting this assignment Please follow guideline: Length: 1200-1500 words. Format: MLA (Double-Spaced; 12 Point Font; Default Margins; Works Cited Page) Instructions: With reference to the text of Othello AND any materials I have posted on Blackboard: Othello is inherently a racist play. How and why should it be performed in America? The history of Othello’s performance teaches us that a Shakespearean play’s meaning is largely determined by historical context. Who’s right, Baraka or Wilson? In order to answer these questions, you will need to first review the arguments made by actors of color in regards to the play’s treatment of Othello’s race and its performance history. I am asking you in this essay to wade into a conversation about race and the play that has been taking place for several decades now. Watch the clips of black actors discussing the play; listen again to the podcasts in which scholars of color consider the play’s history in America. Review the conversation between Harry J. Lennix and Laurence Fishburne. Consider the cultural weight of Shakespeare in western society. Perhaps look at the additional materials on Blackboard (Ania Loomba’s essay, for example). Since this is a complex paper, you will need to develop a focused thesis and develop it clearly, drawing upon evidence from the play and from multiple secondary sources. You might want to consider the following: The Characterization of Othello The tradition of “Stage Moors” in the 1590s and 1600s Pejorative racial stereotypes concerning black men The examples of Ira Aldridge and Paul Robeson The perspectives of August Wilson and Amiri Baraka Cultural attitudes towards interracial relationships What am I looking for? A well-organized piece of writing with a clear thesis. Evidence drawn from the text. Ideas supported using secondary sources (podcasts etc.). Appropriate use of literary terminology. Attention to individual words and phrases. Minimal grammar and mechanics errors. ...

Seraph on the Suwanee, the last novel of Zora Neale Hurston, criticized for deviating from resolving oppression, class, race and gender, shapes a white woman protagonist instead of a black woman protagonist. But actually, it depicts the story of Arvay’s attempts to reject both oppression and the mental submission to oppression just as the oppression and resistance of class and gender are greatly concerned in Hurston’s previous works. Arvay Henson, an oppressed and repressed white woman, motivated by a tenacious belief in her own intrinsic worth and in her rights to individual freedom and social respect, attempts to preserve her integrity through withdrawal, resistance in order to seek her love and her independence as well as her self-discovery. This thesis applies Need Hierarchy Theory proposed by an American psychologist Abraham Maslow to study Arvay’s strategies for meeting her deficiency needs and to analyze her persistent efforts for love as well as the satisfactions of her needs at different levels.

Compare and contrast two Native American writers (compare an early to a recent Native American writer or compare two writers that captivated your interest). Consider how dialogue, description, and details are used or explore significant changes in voice, theme, and characterization in these stories about diversity in America. Respond in a five-paragraph APA essay format with quotes, proper in-text citations, and references. Please be sure to include the following in your assignment submission: Write a formal, 5-paragraph essay in APA format, including a cover page, in response to this question. Base your answer on your own observations and support your assertions quoting from your assigned readings. Read the assigned readings from the Native American Literature sections . Highlight quotes, summarize, or paraphrase from this week's readings and be sure to include an in-text citation in proper APA format (Author, year, p. X). Include three quotes from our readings . When we discuss literature, it is all about the words before us. They are ours to consider and reflect on. So, you will want to make a strong assertion and prove it, or support it, by quoting from the readings. Include three quotes in our essay. Create a strong thesis for your essay. A thesis states your main idea in a sentence. A sample thesis (which you are free to use) might be: Charles Alexander Eastman and Sherman Alexie, Jr., both award-winning authors with strong cultural roots, differ greatly in voice, theme, and characterization of Native American culture. Be sure to include an APA reference page. The Native American has a deep underlying connection to the Earth, land, and all living things. They have a troubled, sordid past, and have struggled long and hard to maintain their rights among people. We are familiar with this from history books, but now we will closely examine and carefully study the Native American culture from these writers perspective. If you have not read writers like Eastman, Silko, and Alexie, you are in for a treat. Please consider how the care and tending to the land and their heritages translates to the care of choosing words to write across the printed page. You will want to ask what it is each author is doing to add his/her version, or vision, to what is the Native American identity. Is the writer actively writing against commonly held beliefs, questioning the persistent images popular culture has inundates us with, or is it fueled by a different passion or concern? Charles Alexander Eastman Eastman , one of a long line of chiefs, one of the first Native American authors to publish, and one of the first Native doctors, wrote about the Sioux life and customs with brilliant descriptions and influence. The opening lines of Winona, The Child Woman from Old Indian Days, shows this: "The sky is blue overhead, peeping through a window-like openings in a roof of green leaves" (Bryant, 2010, p 244). Eastman was also known to write collaboratively with h.

In this assignment, you will analyze Fiedler's Contingency Theory and learn to identify the most effective leadership style to use in different situations. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, conduct research to gain a greater understanding of Fiedler's Contingency Theory. Scenario: Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled: John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital. The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours." Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time. In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions. Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smi.

In this assignment, you will be a Supreme Court Justice deciding on a Fourth Amendment case. Carefully read about the case in question, the summaries of related Supreme Court decisions, and directions for the assignment. The Case “Doe v. City of Intrusia”: Trouble was brewing in the small, quiet city of Intrusia. Someone was selling methamphetamine to the local teenagers and a popular football player died after an overdose. The community was panicked and demanded that the police find the source of the meth and shut it down immediately. The police suspected that 20 year old Joe Doe was selling the meth but they didn’t have much evidence. The state prosecutor advised the police department to talk with the local cell phone carrier about “cloning” Mr. Doe’s phone. The cell phone carrier created a “clone” phone which allowed the police to read text messages sent and received by Mr. Doe. In no time the police had evidence implicating Mr. Doe as a dealer and the location of the meth lab. Mr. Doe was convicted and the meth lab was closed. Mr. Doe is appealing his conviction, claiming that the interception of text messages violated the unreasonable search and seizure protections of the Fourth Amendment. Furthermore, all evidence from the text messages should have been excluded from his trial. The City of Intrusia argues that there was no physical intrusion into Mr. Doe’s space and that police were acting quickly in order to uphold their duty to protect the community’s safety. Background: In Silverman v. United States the Supreme Court held that that the Fourth Amendment does not protect conversations, therefore wiretapping does not constitute a search and seizure. The case was reversed in Katz v. United States, when Justice Harlan proposed a two pronged test of whether public actions should be considered private and therefore protected. 1) Has the person exhibited an expectation of privacy? and 2) is the expectation of privacy one that society is prepared to recognize as 'reasonable.' In more recent decisions, the Supreme Court has found that society is not prepared to extend privacy rights to bank customers regarding their bank statements and that society was not prepared to recognize a privacy right-to grow a backyard crop of marijuana. The Questions: • Does the Fourth Amendment protect text messages sent over a cell phone? • Is there a “reasonable expectation of privacy” when texts are sent? o Did Mr. Doe exhibit an expectation of privacy when he sent the texts? o Is there a societal expectation of privacy in the process of text messaging? Related Supreme Court Decisions (each case is linked to a short description on Oyez.com): Olmstead v. United States (1928) Did the use of evidence disclosed in wiretapped private telephone conversations; violate the recorded party’s Fourth and Fifth Amendments? Katz v. United States (1967) Does the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures require the police to o.

In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of cultural influences on development to create psychosocial workshops for a specific population. Tasks: Scenario : As a human services administrator at a local agency, one of your duties is to write descriptions of the agency's community workshops to publish in the community's resource guide delivered free of charge to all residents. These are the titles of the workshops: Single Moms : A workshop for working mothers to help them balance work and home Community Living : A workshop for those transitioning from incarceration to society Caregiver Parents : A workshop for those taking care of aging parents, while also raising a young family Parenting Teens : A workshop to enable parents to help their teenage children transition to young adulthood Your community largely comprises blue-collar workers, many of whom are working on either visas or green cards; thus, there are pockets of immigrant communities. Some of the workers are those who were reintegrated into society after prolonged incarceration (more than three years). The median age of the area is thirty-five years, and multigenerational households are commonplace. The public school system is underresourced, and truancy is a big problem. Many students do not complete high school, and standardized test scores are well below what is federally mandated for funding. Directions : For each of the four workshops, write a 100- to 200-word description on the basis of the following: Utilize what you have learned throughout the course to describe specific services that each workshop will include. Tailor each description to the community and the target audience for the workshop. Apply cultural and multicultural sensitivity within and across all descriptions. Remember, a single mother may also read the description for community living. Craft your descriptions to be readable and sensitive to all. Account for individual differences and environmental contexts that will influence developmental changes. Account for the role of culture in shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors. For each description, write a two-page rationale. Use at least three references from scholarly sources to demonstrate how you determined which services to offer for each workshop. Submission Details: By Wednesday, February 3, 2016 , prepare a 6- to 8-page analysis paper. Your response should rely upon at least three sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation .

In the Wealth of Nations (1776) Smith describes the economy as a self-contained system functioning through an internal mechanism formed by division of labour and exchange. In this system the good of society (increasing wealth) is brought about through the actions of individual economic agents pursuing their own individual interests, interacting on the basis of the natural propensity to exchange. Thus the self-regulating character of the system depends on human nature; and on the actions of individuals who are isolated from one another in their pursuit of their own interests, but also dependent on one another for the realization of those interests. In the Lectures on Jurisprudence (1762-4) Smith explains the propensity to exchange (or "disposition to barter", etc.) as the result of the natural desire to persuade. He also makes it clear that the desire to persuade is not directed by economic self-interest, and does not have any necessary connection to exchange or economic activity. This argument is clearly connected to a line of thought in his earlier book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), in which he connects the desire to be believed, or to persuade, with the necessity of relations with other individuals as a condition for individuality (that is, for the characteristics necessary in order to be an individual). He also argues for the necessity of relations as a condition for individuality in saying that another basic human desire is that of being beloved. These, earlier, ideas suggest an idea of individuals and society in which relations among individuals are much more fundamental than those described in the Wealth of Nations, and in which the economy cannot be a self-contained, natural system in which the social good can only be realized because individuals are isolated from one another yet also inter-dependent. What would an economy based on these more fundamental relations among individuals look like? How would it differ from the economy described in the Wealth of Nations? .

In the story The Lady or the Tiger , which comes through the door, the lady, or the tiger? Use specific examples from the story and your own personal knowledge/experiences to defend your answer. The Lady Or The Tiger? In the very olden time there lived a semi-barbaric king, whose ideas, though somewhat polished and sharpened by the progressiveness of distant Latin neighbors, were still large, florid, and untrammeled, as became the half of him which was barbaric. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. He was greatly given to self-communing, and, when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but, whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. Among the borrowed notions by which his barbarism had become semified was that of the public arena, in which, by exhibitions of manly and beastly valor, the minds of his subjects were refined and cultured. But even here the exuberant and barbaric fancy asserted itself. The arena of the king was built, not to give the people an opportunity of hearing the rhapsodies of dying gladiators, nor to enable them to view the inevitable conclusion of a conflict between religious opinions and hungry jaws, but for purposes far better adapted to widen and develop the mental energies of the people. This vast amphitheater, with its encircling galleries, its mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages, was an agent of poetic justice, in which crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and incorruptible chance. When a subject was accused of a crime of sufficient importance to interest the king, public notice was given that on an appointed day the fate of the accused person would be decided in the king's arena, a structure which well deserved its name, for, although its form and plan were borrowed from afar, its purpose emanated solely from the brain of this man, who, every barleycorn a king, knew no tradition to which he owed more allegiance than pleased his fancy, and who ingrafted on every adopted form of human thought and action the rich growth of his barbaric idealism. When all the people had assembled in the galleries, and the king, surrounded by his court, sat high up on his throne of royal state on one side of the arena, he gave a signal, a door beneath him opened, and the accused subject stepped out into the amphitheater. Directly opposite him, on the other side of the enclosed space, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased; he wa.

In “The Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost writes figuratively about the various choices we are compelled to make in life as well as how agonizing and/or regrettable these decisions may become as we progress through this journey. In The Bucket List , Carter and Edward must make crucial decisions regarding how to live out the rest of their lives after their diagnosis. Explore how these men chose to live life to the fullest during the limited time they had left on this earth, and how they both experienced a transformation of character in regard to the families they’d left behind. What road(s) do they take throughout the movie, and how do their ‘travels’ reflect the notion that Frost is trying to portray in his poem? Are they satisfied with the choices they’ve made, do they ‘sigh’ in regret of having taken the ‘road less travelled by,’ or have these options made ‘all the difference’ in a positive fashion. Again, use examples from the movie and the poem to prove your point. NO PLAGIARISM DUE BY TOMORROW 10PM .

In the past weeks, students have learned about leaders and leadership. Leaders are social architects who design an organizational environment that encourages a desired range of social behaviors in an effort to meet the organizational goals set forth. Social architects create vision and strategic direction, shape culture and values and lead change. This assessment is designed in a way that students can demonstrate knowledge of the material covered in weeks 1 – 4 and apply leadership concepts and ideas to a real-world situation. Students will delve into the details of the case study and the course readings but must also look at the situation from a strategic point of view since Dunn wants a sustainable business. Required Elements to include in Paper #1: In this assessment, you will act as Joseph Dunn, the leader of Dunn’s Ski Emporium. You want to purchase The Deli, so there is a lot of work to do before entering into the possible addition of a business you know nothing about. As Dunn, you will develop a leadership plan (not a business plan) writing from a leader’s perspective. So, you ask, what it means to write from a leader’s perspective? Writing from the leader’s perspective means you will approach Dunn’s vision through the people centric viewpoint of the leader. You are focused on how the two businesses will meet the vision through the decision making flow and grouping of people within the organizations. How do you best use the people to meet your vision? Even though it is tempting to write in the first person, a plan is written in the third person in which a story will unfold. Dunn is essentially telling a story of how he is going to purchase the Deli and bring George and the business in as part of the Dunn Ski Emporium. Dunn will need to figure out how he is going to combine these two businesses and use his leadership skills to do so. Remember, you are writing from the leader’s perspective and are not solving problems but literally creating and developing an environment in which problems will be resolved by those who make the business run. Dunn plans on designing an organizational structure that fulfills his vision, one that he believes George has for The Deli, and one that will fulfill its mission. The organization must be open to change and possess a culture that empowers its employees to follow the vision created. Like all good social architects, the building must start with a design that suites the purpose of the business and seeks to make it the best building for the job. The entire paper is the plan. Students are expected to be creative but realistic in developing pieces of the plan. For example, feel free to assign names and roles to the people in the business. In being creative students may not change the facts in the plan. Dunn will provide the plan to George Atkins once Dunn sits down with him to begin negotiations, so the plan must be polished. Also to make sure questions can easily be addressed, Dunn is go.

In the midsized town of Centervale, there is no more crime than one might expect in a town of a similar size. However, one family found itself in a tough financial situation, which led them to a life of crime. This was a middle-class family that got caught up in the immediate gratification of crime and cash. One event led to another. Once the parents changed their lifestyle and range of morals, the children began to consider it the normal way of life. In their teens, the children decided to help their family and entered the life of crime they had become accustomed to. Officer Matt Johnson met this multiethnic family, known for its criminal activities. He worked undercover for two years to build a relationship with the family. He learned that Rob, the father, began selling drugs because he had lost his job and was the sole wage earner for the family. Once Rob realized how lucrative this line of work was, he included his wife, Mary, in the crime business. They are in "tight" with the community and organized crime, and Mary solicits clients on the Internet for drug distribution. Rob and Mary have two children, Lucy (aged fifteen) and Junior (aged seventeen), who were slowly incorporated as drug runners for the family. Officer Johnson continued to stay close to the family, and through his interactions with the children and Mary, learned why the family dynamics changed from a stable loving environment to a family full of negative behavior and criminal activity. Their present life can be described as follows: The stress of the "job" begins to affect the marital relationship between Rob and Mary as they try to make a living through criminal activities. Rob becomes volatile and begins to abuse Mary and Lucy. Junior watches the domestic violence and sees this as a means of gaining power over the opposite gender so that they do as told. He admires the control his father has over the family and the business. I n a minimum of 250 words, post your responses to the following to the Discussion Area : Research the inchoate crimes and provide the elements necessary for the conviction of each of the three—Mary, Lucy, and Junior. Keeping the clauses of juvenile law in mind, identify the potential penalties that can be imposed on each of the convicted persons based on the statutes of your state. Being an undercover officer, Johnson cannot be convicted under inchoate crime. According to the decriminalization laws in the state where you live, explain whether you feel the statement is justified. Give reasons for your answer. Cite the statute from the state where you live so that other classmates are aware of the jurisdiction you are referring to. .

In the mid-seventeenth century, Dutch scientist Jan Baptista van Helmont struggled to understand where plants get the material that allows them to grow larger. He planted a willow tree of a given weight in a ﬁxed quantity of soil and then, ﬁve years later, weighed both the willow and the soil. He found that the tree had gained 164 pounds during the period but that the soil had lost very little weight. His conclusion was that the willow’s weight gain came solely from the water it absorbed through its roots. If you could be transported back to van Helmont’s time, what would you tell him about the source of the willow’s weight gain? Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. .

In the early 20th century, the specter of infectious disease lurked in every city of the world. In India, an estimated eight million people had died of cholera by 1920. The influenza pandemic of 1918–1919 was responsible for the loss of 50 million lives worldwide. In 1917, the average life expectancy in the United States was 51 years; by 1918 it was 39 years. By contrast, in the year 2020, the average U.S. life expectancy is projected to be 79.5 years. In addition to achievements in treating diseases and disseminating health information seen over the last 100 years, your grandparents and great grandparents may not have lived long enough to get the chronic diseases commonly seen in the early 21st century in industrialized nations. For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and the World Health Organization websites, and search the Internet for morbidity and mortality data. Consider the changes in causes of morbidity and mortality, both in the United States and globally, and how the application of theory might have influenced those changes. With these thoughts in mind: Post 3-4 pages of explanation for the reversal in morbidity and mortality during the past century, either in the U.S. or globally. Then, explain how applying community health education theories might have contributed to the reduction in morbidity and mortality .
