Assignment Instructions
Respond to the following question:
As part of the financial planning process, a common practice in the corporate finance world is restructuring through the process of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It seems that on a regular basis, investment bankers arrange M&A transactions, forming one company from separate companies. What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a merger? In your response, provide an example of either - a merger that was successful, or one that was unsuccessful.
· Write a paper of 600-750 content words (title page, abstract and reference page not included), double-spaced format (Times New Roman 12-point font), 1 inch page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side and Right Side, with reasonable accommodation being made for special situations and online submission variances.
· Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines, including a title page, an introduction, and a conclusion. An abstract is not required. Cite in text and include a References section. A template is included in the assignment.
· In your report, make certain that you include at least three credible outside references from search engines or scholarly sources from the APUS Online Library.
· Note that your attached paper will automatically be submitted to Turnitin, and an Originality Report should be sent back to the classroom within around 15 minutes. The Originality report does not actually recommend changes. It does point out where you may need to add a citation or quotation marks (if not already cited). Once you use it a few times, you will appreciate this tool, as it will assist you in improving quality and content, as well as avoid plagiarism. Your goal is to keep direct quotations to a minimum and to make sure that you do not just cut and paste material. Ensure that all your references are cited. A report with a similarity index less than 20% is acceptable for graduate level work.
Your paper will be evaluated according to the Writing Assignment Grading Rubric shown below. To maximize your grade, be sure to use the proper organization (intro, body, conclusion) and follow APA style. Your paper should have a title page and reference page, but you do not need an abstract for this assignment. See the PowerPoint presentation attached for APA assistance.

Your Name
Independence University
Abstract
An abstract is optional and is a general overview of the content covered in your paper. The abstract should be no more than 250 words. In general class assignments, the abstract may not be required. Please check with you instructor regarding this requirement. For the running head above, the words Running head: should be in the same 12-point font as the rest of the paper, only appear on the cover page, be on the same line as the page number, and be aligned with the left 1” margin. The paper title portion should be in all caps. For the second page and beyond, the running head should only include the paper title in all caps. The page numbers should be aligned at the right 1” margin.
Title of Your Paper
The initial paragraph is assumed in APA to include the introduction to your paper, and therefore does not require the heading of “Introduction”. Use the paper title as the initial paper heading, centered, not in bold, with major words capitalized. The heading and content should start at the top of the page with no extra spacing. The entire paper should be double-spaced with no extra spacing between headings or paragraphs. The first line of every paragraph should be indented 5-7 spaces, or .5” by default. This includes paragraphs following numbered lists and images. This section should “introduce” the reader to the content covered in your paper. In many ways, the introduction serves as a mini-outline for the rest of the paper. So, as you continue to write the remaining sections, make sure to only include the information related to what you have “introduced” in your introduction paragraph. To sum it up, this section should tell the audience what you are going to talk about in the Body.
Body
Use a level 1 APA heading appropriate for the content to introduce this section, centered and in bold. Do not use the Body heading. The “body” of your paper should expand on the concepts covered in your introduction. It is appropriate to have main and subtopics in this section. The main and subtopics should be identified by using the appropriate Level Heading. To sum it up, this section should talk about what you told the audience you were going to talk about in your Introduction. Use additional APA heading levels following an outline format for each new concept section in your paper. Level 1 is centered and in bold. Level 2 is left-aligned and in bold, level 3 is in the first line of the paragraph, in bold, and ending with a period., etc. Each heading should be appropriate for the content contained in the paragraphs under the heading.
Citing Your Sources
When using information from outside sources in your writing, you must cite those sources appropriately. As an example, if you are paraphrasing, follow the end of the information with a citation, then follow with the period to end the sent ...

Introduction. This paragraph does not have a title. The title page serves as the title. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short distinct sentences will be sufficient. Paragraphs should not be one page or longer in length. Here is a model to help you. Use the acronym MEAL when writing paragraphs with APA 7th edition citations.
MEAL:
Main idea. Introduce the focus of the paragraph.
Evidence. Support the main idea with source information.
Analysis. Explain and analyze the source information.
Lead out. Conclude the topic, like a conclusion paragraph.
Remember that perfection is not the goal. There will be always room for improvement. Being detail oriented does not equal perfection; however, it enables you to move toward scholarship. Use LopesWrite to stress clear, concise, and research writing. Avoid Plagiarism and Direct Quotes.
1st paragraph is titled Comprehension Strategies (Level 1 heading)
This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading is a short descriptor of a section.
2nd paragraph is titled Graphic Organizers (cite a source)
3rd paragraph is titled Independent Practice (cite a source)
4th paragraph is titled Model-Lead Test (cite a source)
5th paragraph is titled Peer Tutoring (cite a source)
6th paragraph is titled Repeated Reading (cite a source)
7th paragraph is titled Instructional Goals
8th paragraph is titled Parent Involvement
9th paragraph is titled Student Concerns
10th paragraph is titled Conclusion
Beginning the conclusion with phrases like "in closing," "in summary" or "in conclusion" is redundant and unnecessary. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short and distinct sentences will be sufficient. Your conclusion does not contain any new information.
References

Details:
1. All of the Parts:
The first thing you should do is to check and see that you have every required section IN THE RIGHT ORDER.
Each major section
(Introduction; Literature Review; Plan) needs an intro paragraph AND a concluding paragraph.
Each major section should start on a new page
(the only exception would be if the writer wanted to combine the Table of Figures and the Table of Contents on one page). Even if your Introduction ends one line into page 5, your Literature Review starts on page 6!
Margins
must be ONE-INCH (not 1.25, which is what Word automatically does for you).
Spacing
must be SINGLE-SPACE (sometimes Word sets it as 1.15 automatically; to correct this, go to Format/Paragraph). Please also make sure that “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style” is checked off to avoid double-double-spacing.

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) survey of 120 major American corporations, “in today’s workplace writing is a threshold skill for hiring and promotion among salaried (i.e., professional) employees” (p. 3). Thus, excellent writing is one of the most important objectives of a business education. To help students achieve this professional advantage, the Jack Welch Management Institute requires all students to develop a professional writing style. The following sections discuss and are examples of the basics of one commonly used manuscript style, APA. Note that this manuscript format does not include all details of APA.
General Manuscript Format
The body of the paper should have one inch margins and use a 12 pt. font that is easy to read, such as Times New Roman. To aid ease of reading, double space throughout the paper. Align the manuscript flush left, resulting in an uneven right margin. Indent paragraphs five to seven spaces. Page numbers are one inch from the top right edge of the paper. Page numbers are not required for short papers, yet useful for longer ones. Headings

[Follow the format examples of APA Publication Manual, (6th ed.) for all papers written for graduate courses. Look at page 26 in the Manual for insight about what information should be included in the Abstract. Remember, the abstract is NOT an introduction to the paper: it is a concise summary. An Abstract is required for the Set B paper of ISAS 620. For that report, the abstract should contain the research question and its answer, too.] [Delete all the guidance in red from this template when you use it.]

Abstract
[The abstract begins with its first line flush with the left margin, no indent is used for the abstract. In the abstract for a literature review state the research question clearly and identify it as the research question. Explain what sources were used for your search of the literature and why. Describe the findings and indicate how the outcome answers the research question. Add any conclusions drawn from your findings. Do not try to use the abstract as an introduction. Include citations for any facts stated in the abstract that are taken from the literature.]
**** [NOTE: Inclusion of a formal, precise research question in the paper is graded up to 10 points. Do NOT omit the research question, stated as a true question, as required in the paper directions.
"State the research question" clearly in the abstract, introduction paragraph, and in the conclusion of your paper. Include the answers to the research question in the abstract and conclusion of the paper, too.] ****
Title of the Report
[Write your report from here. Do not use a heading called “Introduction” since that is not used in the APA format. The first section is always considered to be the introduction, so no heading is needed.
Do not add extra space between paragraphs or sections. Double space only.
This template is already APA formatted: 1” margins, ½” new paragraph indents, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, title page, headers with page numbers, left justified, double spaced, and with a separate references page. When using references in your paper to support your content, be sure to apply the APA in-text reference citation format. Any item listed on the references page must also be applied and cited within the paper. The citation name and the reference listing must match exactly. If you include verbatim quotes, put them within quotation marks, cite the reference and include a page number. (However, avoid using quotes, if possible.) If using internet resources, be sure they are reliable (for example, Wikipedia is unacceptable) and use the APA formatting for internet references. Never copy any material from online sources without indicating the exact source and enclosing the material in quote marks.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Assignment
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one-inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as http://www.citationmachine.net/apa/cite-a-book to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be direc ...

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) survey of 120 major American corporations, “in today’s workplace writing is a threshold skill for hiring and promotion among salaried (i.e., professional) employees” (p. 3). Thus, excellent writing is one of the most important objectives of a business education. To help students achieve this professional advantage, the Jack Welch Management Institute requires all students to develop a professional writing style. The following sections discuss and are examples of the basics of one commonly used manuscript style, APA. Note that this manuscript format does not include all details of APA.
General Manuscript Format
The body of the paper should have one inch margins and use a 12 pt. font that is easy to read, such as Times New Roman. To aid ease of reading, double space throughout the paper. Align the manuscript flush left, resulting in an uneven right margin. Indent paragraphs five to seven spaces. Page numbers are one inch from the top right edge of the paper. Page numbers are not required for short papers, yet useful for longer ones. Headings

Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) survey of 120 major American corporations, “in today’s workplace writing is a threshold skill for hiring and promotion among salaried (i.e., professional) employees” (p. 3). Thus, excellent writing is one of the most important objectives of a business education. To help students achieve this professional advantage, the Jack Welch Management Institute requires all students to develop a professional writing style. The following sections discuss and are examples of the basics of one commonly used manuscript style, APA. Note that this manuscript format does not include all details of APA.
General Manuscript Format
The body of the paper should have one inch margins and use a 12 pt. font that is easy to read, such as Times New Roman. To aid ease of reading, double space throughout the paper. Align the manuscript flush left, resulting in an uneven right margin. Indent paragraphs five to seven spaces. Page numbers are one inch from the top right edge of the paper. Page numbers are not required for short papers, yet useful for longer ones. Headings
Begin each major section of the paper with the topic heading in bold font, centered at the top of the page. The body of the text is typically divided into subsections as shown in this template.

[Follow the format examples of APA Publication Manual, (6th ed.) for all papers written for graduate courses. Look at page 26 in the Manual for insight about what information should be included in the Abstract. Remember, the abstract is NOT an introduction to the paper: it is a concise summary. An Abstract is required for the Set B paper of ISAS 620. For that report, the abstract should contain the research question and its answer, too.] [Delete all the guidance in red from this template when you use it.]

Abstract
[The abstract begins with its first line flush with the left margin, no indent is used for the abstract. In the abstract for a literature review state the research question clearly and identify it as the research question. Explain what sources were used for your search of the literature and why. Describe the findings and indicate how the outcome answers the research question. Add any conclusions drawn from your findings. Do not try to use the abstract as an introduction. Include citations for any facts stated in the abstract that are taken from the literature.]
**** [NOTE: Inclusion of a formal, precise research question in the paper is graded up to 10 points. Do NOT omit the research question, stated as a true question, as required in the paper directions.
"State the research question" clearly in the abstract, introduction paragraph, and in the conclusion of your paper. Include the answers to the research question in the abstract and conclusion of the paper, too.] ****
Title of the Report
[Write your report from here. Do not use a heading called “Introduction” since that is not used in the APA format. The first section is always considered to be the introduction, so no heading is needed.
Do not add extra space between paragraphs or sections. Double space only.
This template is already APA formatted: 1” margins, ½” new paragraph indents, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, title page, headers with page numbers, left justified, double spaced, and with a separate references page. When using references in your paper to support your content, be sure to apply the APA in-text reference citation format. Any item listed on the references page must also be applied and cited within the paper. The citation name and the reference listing must match exactly. If you include verbatim quotes, put them within quotation marks, cite the reference and include a page number. (However, avoid using quotes, if possible.) If using internet resources, be sure they are reliable (for example, Wikipedia is unacceptable) and use the APA formatting for internet references. Never copy any material from online sources without indicating the exact source and enclosing the material in quote marks.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Assignment
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one-inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as http://www.citationmachine.net/apa/cite-a-book to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be direc ...

Case 1: Family Loyalty vs. Meritocracy
A man was appointed president of the newly-acquired Philippine subsidiary of a large American company. He was reviewing the organization with the company's head of human resources. One thing the president noted was that the same names reoccurred frequently in several departments. "It is our tradition," commented the HR head. "Families take care of their own. If one family member gets a good job in a Philippine company, other members of the family apply to join that company and the first member there can help the whole family become successful by helping them get hired and by coaching them to be successful. The company benefits. Our costs of recruiting are lower, we know more about the people we hire, and the commitment to family success results in fewer performance and discipline problems because family members want to please their older relatives."
The president wondered how these practices would be regarded in a large American firm, and whether or not he should take action to change them.
1. Nepotism is not illegal, but is it ethical?
2. If the business is family-owned, does that make a difference?
3. How does national culture affect this discussion?
Case 2: Is the Two-Tier System Ethically Problematic
Employees at a cereal makers plant were “locked-out” from their jobs producing cereal for over 3 months. Company management and the union representing the employees reached a stalemate in negotiations resulting in the lockout. The union claims that the primary issue is the company’s demand of dramatically increasing the number of temporary workers, who would earn $6 less per hour and receive fewer benefits. Critics claim this effectively creates a two-tier system at the plant. Under the current agreement, the company may use temporary workers for up to 30% of the workforce, but the union claims the company is now pushing for 100%. The workers, who have had their health insurance suspended, fear that their jobs will either be replaced entirely by temporary workers, or they will be f ...

Barbara Corcoran Learns Her Heart’s True Desires
In her hilarious and lighthearted book, Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 Into a
Billion Dollar Business, Barbara Corcoran demonstrates the importance of knowing what
you really want out of life (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011). As her title suggests, Barbara
founded her real estate company, The Corcoran Group, with only $1,000 and some big
dreams. Shortly after founding the company, Barbara took out a piece of paper and wrote
down some big goals for herself and the company. In 1978, she had only 14 sales agents
working for her, who earned a total of $250,000 in commissions. She set a goal of
doubling the number of agents and the commissions every year. So she put down 28 sales
people for 1979, 56 for 1980, and so on, all the way up to 1,792 salespeople in 1985 with
total commissions of $32,000,000. Barbara was amazed when she saw the fantastic sums
projected for 1985, and of course many people, when they see such amazing sums, would
dismiss the calculations as fantasy But as Barbara put it, she went to work the next day
hustling hard for her $32 million.
Real estate agents are paid largely by commission, which is about as close as you
can get to a pure form of contingent reward for performance. However, Barbara didn’t
rely solely on the commissions to motivate her workers. She threw theme parties and held
numerous social events to build a committed workforce. Good sales agents could always
move to another firm, but not every firm had Barbara’s positive attitude and fun-filled
atmosphere. In the early years of the firm, when money was tight, Barbara and her
relatives did the cooking for the outings and parties, and she found clever ways to
entertain people with skating parties and other lively activities. As the firm became larger
and more profitable, she even hired professional entertainers for the company’s midweek
picnics, which included elephant shows, daring rides on hot air balloons, horses, or
Harley Davidsons, etc. Barbara stated “I built my company on pure fun, and believe that
fun is the most underutilized motivational tool in business today. All of my best ideas
came when I was playing outside the office with the people I worked with” (Corcoran &
Littlefield, 2011, p. 283). What did she get in return for the fun atmosphere? She had the
“most profitable real estate company per person in the United States” (p. 284). By the
time she sold her agency in 2001, she had 1,000 agents working for her, and she had the
largest real estate agency in New York – clearly her motivational strategies attracted a
large number of productive employees.
Barbara Corcoran had sold her firm for $66 million. She thought that would make
her happy, but instead, it made her sad. Although she pretended to be happy with her new
wealth and freedom, she was “secretly miserable” (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011, p. 232).
She had lost her purpose ...

IN Deepa Mehta’s words
I wanted desperately to make CRACKING INDIA into a film, a particular film, EARTH, which would be the second in my trilogy of the elements of Fire, Earth and Water.
Tracing Bapsi was no easy task but persevere we did and soon I was talking to Bapsi on the phone, hoping that the film rights to her book were still available. Two months later, thanks to David Hamilton's unwavering belief in the project, we owned the rights, had development funds, and I was sitting at my kitchen table, writing the screenplay of EARTH.
David and Anne Masson and I had worked together on FIRE and we re-assembled the team to begin the detailed planning of the production.
During this phase Bapsi became a friend and was exceedingly generous with information and old photographs. She would talk with me for hours about what it was like growing up in Lahore during those times. Lenny, after all, was based on Bapsi. In fact, Lenny was Bapsi.
The irony of our situation hasn't escaped Bapsi or myself. Bapsi is from Pakistan and now a US citizen. I'm from India and now living in Canada. If neither of us had moved from our respective homelands, the film just wouldn't have been possible. Pakistan and India, since the Partition of 1947, are sworn enemies. Not only have they fought three major wars against each other, but also, as I write this, both countries talk blithely about their nuclear capabilities and continue their militant aggression against each other across the still- disputed Kashmir border.
Fallen Women in the novel and film
Abducted women like Ayah and Hamdia, Lenny’s new nanny are viewed with suspicion from Lenny.

“It isn’t a jail, Lenny baby…it’s a camp for fallen women.”
“What are fallen women?”
“Hai! The questions you ask! Your mother won’t like such talk…Now keep quiet”

Fallen women – Abducted and raped women
In the aftermath of the 1947 declaration of Indian independence, the roughly drawn new state boundaries triggered what may have been the biggest migration in human history.
Historical consensus supports a figure of 12 million people displaced, although the BBC suggests figures as high as 14.5 million people. An undeclared civil war erupted as communities of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs fought one another to establish their own identities in their redefined homelands. And, in the process, the Indian government estimates, 83,000 women were abused and abducted. Others put the number even higher.
“Rather than being raped and abandoned,” Yasmin Khan writes in The Great Partition: The ...
Barriers of therapeutic relationshipThe therapeutic relations.docxrock73
Barriers of therapeutic relationship:
The therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse is often filled with barriers that can generate obstacles for the relationship and, in the end, the health system as a whole (Sfoggia et al.,2014). There are many factors that hinder building a therapeutic relationship: language, professional jargon, communication impairment, and cultural diversity (ibid).
Language:
Language can be an obstacle to nurse-patient communication because a patient may not be able to speak the same language and therefore communication is not possible (Levin,2006). The best way to overcome this barrier is providing a translator who can explain a professional facilitator's message easily to the patient(ibid). For instance, if the nurse only speaks English but the patient is only able to speak Arabic, a translation to the patient of what the professional facilitator is saying leads to less chance of misunderstanding (ibid). Translation also allows a patient to feel comfortable through being able to speak in their own language (ibid).
Medical jargon:
Jargon is a technical language that is comprehended by people in a specific industry or area of work (Leblanc et al.,2014). Health professionals often use jargon to communicate with each other(ibid). For example, T.B. disease stands for tubercle bacillus and HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus (Mccrary & Christensen,1993). Jargon often makes sense to health professionals but a patient who does not understand these acronyms will not understand such communication, leading to a barrier in therapeutic relationship between patient and health professional (Leblanc et al.,2014).
Communication impairment:
Patients with communication impairment such as blindness, deafness and speech impairment often feel isolated, frustrated and self-conscious (O’Halloran et al.,2009). Some patients are born with such disabilities or have developed them as a result of disease (ibid). Therefore, nurses should provide enough time in order to describe any issue to such patients so that they do not feel uncomfortable or censured by health professionals, who must remain impartial (ibid).
Cultural diversity:
Patients often have various differences (Leblanc et al.,2014).Some of these differences are due to a patient's illness, social status, economic class, education and personality(ibid). However, according to Kirkham (1998), the deepest differences might be cultural diversity. Beheri (2009) points out that many nurses believe if they just treat patients with respect, they will avoid most cultural issues. Nevertheless, avoiding misunderstanding can be achieved through some knowledge of cultural customs, which might help and enable nurses to provide better health care to patients (ibid).
Facilitators of therapeutic relationship:
UNCRPD (2006) states that the most fundamental human right in hospital is communication. Patients are required to be provided with an effective communication method by nurs ...

Critical Analysis of the religious nature of Buddhism
The religious community often debates on whether Buddhism is categorized as a religion or as philosophical teaching. The answer to the question varies depending on an individual’s point of view. There are three main types of Buddhism practices across the world with each of them having smaller branches with slights variances in their teachings and beliefs. The different styles of Buddhist mainly encompass Theravada Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism. The various forms often have deities that are worshipped while others do not. Some often have scriptures while others do not usually believe in any physical form of the Buddhist teachings. The first article is authored by Rachel, a blogger, presenting the argument that Buddhism is a religion (Rachel, 1). On the other hand, the second article authored by Pamela Winfield recognizes Buddhism as a philosophy. Analyzing and comparing the two pieces having divergent views on the religious nature of Buddhism is crucial for understanding whether it is a religion or philosophy.
Summary of the articles
Rachel in her article considers Buddhism as a religion. The author acknowledges the fact that Mahayana Buddhism which is often found in greater part of Asia that includes Japan, Korea, and China often teaches on attaining enlightenment (Rachel, 1). The Mahayana often accept that every individual wishes to ensure the effective attainment of enlightenment and thus end the cycle of rebirth which others recognize as “Karma.” The article proceeds to state that Buddha is the greatest of the deities but is not worshipped. Instead, Buddha often inspires all those who practice doing as he once did. The author states that Buddhism often requires that the individuals that choose the wrong path attempt to re-accomplish these tasks in their next life alongside other punishments imposed on them by karma. The characteristics of this type of Buddhism thus often play a significant role in showing the religious nature of Buddhism. The author concludes by stating that Buddhism often contains all the different elements of a religion. Moreover, the article associates Buddhism with fallacies that characterize other religions and just as dangerous as other religions as well. A quote proves the claim on the dangerous nature of Buddhism that the author uses to summarize the teachings of Buddhism.
On the other hand, Winfield tends to focus on enlightening the readers on some of the aspects of Buddhism that ensures its a ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

on the page
The length of the abstract should
Be one paragraph and consist of
150-250 words
No indention is needed. This is one
of the few times an indent is not
required
10. Basic Writing Components
Title: Name your paper. The title can “hook” your readers.
Introduction Paragraph: Tell the readers what you are about to
tell them. The thesis statement is often the last sentence of the
first paragraph.
Thesis Statement: Essentially, a thesis statement
answers the question, "What do I want my readers
to know after they have read my essay?"
Body: Discuss topic. The number of paragraphs will depend
on the length and complexity of your paper.
Concluding Paragraph: A short summary. Do not introduce
any new information.
Writing Tips
Brainstorming: Before beginning to write, take the time to put
your ideas on paper. Mind-mapping and list-making are two
useful brainstorming techniques.
Organizing: Plan your paper or assignment. This may be as
simple as a chronological list of your points or as elaborate as a
formal outline.
Multiple Drafts: Professional writers create multiple drafts of
11. their writing. You should too.
Extra Time: Quality writing takes time – lots of time.
Build in a cushion of extra time.
Allow Time Between Drafts: While a break of
twenty-four hours or more is ideal, a thirty minute
break will yield positive results.
Help From Others: Being mindful of plagiarism
and academic honesty, request proofreading help.
Writing Tips
Use Formal Voice: Academic writing is more formal than
casual conversations, emails, and instant messages.
Complete Sentences: Write in complete sentences.
Complete sentences contain both subjects and verbs.
Subject-Verb Agreement: Be sure your subject and
verb agree. For example, “we are” rather than “we is,”
“they did” rather than “they done.”
Verb Tense and Active Voice: Limit shifts in verb tense,
and use active voice rather than passive voice.
Awkward Phrasing: Use standard English phrasing.
For example, “try to do” rather than “try and do,”
“we went” rather than “us went.”
12. Long Paragraphs Preferred: Be sure your ideas are
fully developed in each of your paragraphs. This
usually results in paragraphs of five or more sentences.
Writing Tips
Full Wording Rather Than Contractions: Convert contractions
to their complete word-partner. For example:
it’s = it is
won’t = will not
haven’t = have not
Homonyms: Homonyms are words that sound alike but are
spelled differently and have different definitions. For
example,
new and knew, your and you’re, and know and no.
Non-words: Ensure that all your words are standard
English words. For example, “alot” is not a word.
Frequently Misspelled Words: Be alert for commonly
confused words. For example, possess and posses,
a lot and allot, definitely and defiantly, and their
and there.
etc.: Avoid using etc. at the end of a list unless it
is part of the quotation.
13. Writing Tips
Use 3rd person point of view (unless opinion paper): Avoid
pronouns such as I, we, my, our (1st person) and you, yours,
your, us, we (2ndperson). Deal with facts, thus, providing
citations within paper and reference page. Focus on subject; not
feelings about the subject. The use of 3rd person retains a
formal tone:
Academic writing is more formal than casual conversation.
Parenthesis: Parentheses are most often used
in citations. Before using them in other applications,
consult the APA handbook for guidance.
Commas and Introductory Phrases: Usually
commas are placed between an introductory phrase
and the main sentence; however, commas are rarely
used to separate a concluding phrase.
Colon: Colons should only be used when the
introductory phrase is a complete sentence.
Semicolon: Semicolons are used to either connect
two complete sentences, or to connect a list
that contains commas.
Slashes: Use dashes rather than slashes.
14. Writing Tips
Punctuation when ending a Quote: If quotation is at the end of a
sentence, close quote with quotation marks, cite the source in
parentheses, and end with a period or other punctuation outside
the final parenthesis. If quote is in mid-sentence, close quote
with quotation marks, cite the source immediately after the
quotation marks, and continue the sentence. (6.03)
Question Marks and Quotation Marks:
Place question marks outside the quotation mark
unless the question mark is part of the quotation.
Single Quotation Marks: The only time you use
single quotation marks is inside of double quotation
marks.
Exclamation Points: Exclamation points should not be
used unless the exclamation point is part of a quotation.
Titles of Books and Magazines: Italicize
the title of books and magazines.
Bold: Use italicizing to emphasize
words rather than Bold Type Style.
Spell-Checker, Grammar-Checker, and You
Use your word processor’s spell-checker
and grammar-checker to catch common
15. mistakes. Remember, these are tools and
neither is perfect.
Spell-checkers identify the words in its dictionary
but can not identify correct contextual spelling.
Grammar-checkers may fail to identify incorrect
punctuation or usage. It may also highlight
correct usage and punctuation.
You must follow along behind them to
ensure that the spelling and grammar
are correct.
Body of the Paper
The body must conform to many guidelines:
TITLE OF PAPER 3
Title of paper centered
Body of the paper requires many set rules and guidelines. The
examples shown are not to scale, therefore, you must visit the
online library for exact placement within your paper.
16. Be sure to consult all APA guidelines in all aspects of your
paper.
Center the title at the top of page. The title is written in
uppercase and lowercase letters.
Helpful tips:
*Tables (if applicable) are numbered sequentially and
labeled
*Illustrations are also individually numbered and
treated like tables
Margins are set at 1 inch at top, bottom,
left and right
All text is double spaced
Clearly visible type, i.e. 12 point
Times Roman
Paragraphs are indented ½ inch
17. General Formatting Information
Begin writing your paper on page two unless there is an
Abstract or Table of Contents (the cover page is page one). The
page header on the top right hand side must reflect page two on
the same line with the running head.
Center the title at the top of page two directly under the 1”
margin. The title is written in uppercase and lowercase letters.
Margins are set at one inch (top, bottom, left, and right).
Double space the entire paper.
Use a typeface of 12-point Times New Roman
Indent the first line of every paragraph five spaces or ½ inch.
Type the entire paper left aligned.
There are specific guidelines when writing an APA style paper.
Center the title at the top of page two (page 3 if there is an
Abstract). The title is written in uppercase and lowercase
letters. (3.03)
Double space entire paper (8.03)
Use 1 inch margins (8.03)
Text is left aligned (8.03)
Two spaces after sentence terminator - rather than one (New
Sixth Edition Change) (4.01)
12 point font (new Sixth Edition of APA requires New Times
18. Roman only) and black ink (8.03)
Same font throughout with the exception of italicizing (8.03)
(1) introducing a key term you wish to emphasize(4.21) (2)
titles of books, periodicals, films, videos, TV shows and
microfilm publications (4.21) (there are more in-depth examples
if you would like to reference 4.21 in New Sixth Edition of
APA Manual)
First sentence of a paragraph must be indented (8.03) (with the
exception of the Abstract) (2.04)
18
Writing the Paper
APA writing should be straightforward with an active voice –
i.e., “Jones developed the project..” as opposed to the passive
voice – i.e. “The project was developed by Jones…”
Use past tense when describing earlier research
Spell out on first use of an acronym (example: American
Military University (AMU) – first use. Next time referenced in
paper use AMU.
Quotes of 40 words or more
Block quotations of 40 words or more: Indent (as if a new
paragraph) and continue to make each line of the quote begin in
the same place, creating a straight line on the left side of the
quotation, while the right side is jagged. If more than one
paragraph for the blocked quote, indent the first line of each
paragraph an additional half inch. Double space entire quote.
19. Do NOT use quotation marks for the entire quotation. For
quotations within that quotation, use normal quotation marks,
not single ones.
Remember, you must still give credit for the source. Place
periods or commas within quotation marks when they are part of
the quoted material. At end of quote, place period then page
number. Example: …… placebo effect. (p. 276)
Citations – Giving credit where credit is due
It is very important to give proper credit when words or
thoughts are not ours originally.
Citing the source means mentioning the author/s within the text
so the reader can look up the source at the back of the paper.
APA has very specific ways this must be done. The model must
be followed exactly. With a little practice, citing sources gets
easier!
Approximately 14 million women in the United States are
battling with the disease Anorexia Nervosa, AN, which is
described as “one of the least understood and most intractable
of all mental illnesses” (Schindehette, Sandler, Nelson &
Seaman, 2003, p. 136). – this is an example of a direct quote.
Many of the victims of this disease will battle it for the
rest of their lives. However, if AN is diagnosed early, during
the teen years, it is possible to cure it with appropriate
treatment (Cooper, 2001). – this is an example of a paraphrase
20. 21
Parenthetical Citations
APA relies on in-text citations within the narrative.
Quotations call for the addition of pagination at the end of the
quote (p. #) and can take two forms:
Author mentioned: According to Shakespeare (1598),"The
quality of mercy is not strained" (pp. 63-64).
- Author not mentioned: As indicated, "If they prick me, do I
not bleed" (Shakespeare, 1598, p. 82).
Paraphrasing does not require the addition of pagination
indicators, but these are encouraged.
Guidelines for Citing References
Keep the format simple
No retrieval dates needed unless the source material may change
over time.
For electronic references, give the DOI, if assigned. Database
names are not needed.
If no DOI assigned, provide the URL of the journal or book
21. publisher.
Discontinued journals, monographs, dissertations, or papers not
formally published (archival documents), give the URL for the
online archive.
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
The digital object identifier (DOI) is an alphanumeric string
identifying content providing a link to location on the Internet.
Give DOI for journal articles, books, or book chapters accessed
online. No period at the end of the string. Do not use the phrase
retrieved from. Do not give a retrieval date. The DOI is
typically located on the first page of the electronic journal
article, near the copyright notice.
Lee, C. (2009, September 21). Re: A DOI Primer [Web log
message].
To Search for a DOI
To search for DOIs, use CrossRef. The free DOI
lookup (http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/ ) searches for
DOIs using information such as article title, authors, and
publisher information.
Or cut and paste your entire reference list into the Simple Text
Query form (http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/) and
22. CrossRef will return all available DOIs at once.
Lee, C. (2009, September 21). Re: A DOI Primer [Web log
message].
Reference Page
The word “References” should appear at the top center of the
page. Entries are double spaced with the top line justified to
the left. Additional lines of each reference are indented
(hanging indent).
Example:
References
Stielow, F. J. (2003). Building digital
archives. New York: Neal- Schuman.
References are alphabetized
References are in alphabetical order by author(s) last name on
the reference page; list last name, then first and middle initial
23. only. If no author is provided, use the first character of the title.
Only list the last name of an author or authors followed by
initials for the first and middle names. Do not write out first
and middle names. For example: Marcia L. Conner would be
listed as Conner, M. L.
Do not list the author as anonymous or unknown unless that is
the way the author is listed on the source. Use a title as stated
above.
Insert the publication date in parentheses following the author.
Insert the publication date in parentheses following the author.
The date (in parentheses is always the second part of a
reference).
List the date as follows:
(year). For example: (2009).
(year, month). For example: (2007, January). Note: Do not use
month abbreviations.
(year, month day). For example: (1998, June 16).
(n.d.). Use n.d. for works which do not contain a publication
date.
24. What to italicize
Italicize the name of books, journals, and magazines, but do not
italicize the name of an article.
For example:
Book: Learn more now: 10 simple ways to learning better,
smarter & faster.
Journal: Journal of Social Psychology
Magazine: Newsweek

Abstract (not required for this paper)
An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents
of a paper (American Psychological Association, 2001) that
runs a maximum of 120 words. It should contain a synopsis of
the points in the paper, but also be readable and well organized.
To use this page of the template, simply delete this paragraph
and start typing. The formatting should stay the same.
Typing Template for APA Papers
This is an electronic template for papers written in APA style
(American Psychological Association, 2009). The purpose of
the template is to help the student set the margins and spacing.
Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The
type is left-justified only—that means the left margin is
straight, but the right margin is ragged. Each paragraph is
indented five spaces. It is best to use the tab key to indent,
since five spaces on the computer is different from five spaces
on a typewriter. The line spacing is double throughout the
paper, even on the reference page. Two spaces are used after
punctuation. The font style used in this template is Times New
Roman and the font size is 12, which is now required in APA
6th edition.
30. First Heading (Introduction or Title of Paper)
The heading above would be used if you want to have your
paper divided into sections based on content. This is the first
level of heading, and it is centered and bolded with each word
of four letters or more capitalized. The heading should be a
short descriptor of the section. Note that not all papers will
have headings or subheadings in them.
First Subheading
The subheading above would be used if there are several
sections within the topic labeled in a heading. The subheading
is flush left and bolded, with each word of four letters or more
capitalized.
Second Subheading
APA dictates that you should avoid having only one subsection
heading and subsection within a section. In other words, use at
least two subheadings under a main heading, or do not use any
at all.
Conclusion
Wrap up major points in a few sentences.
When you are ready to write, and after having read these
instructions completely, you can delete these directions and
start typing. The formatting should stay the same. However,
one item that you will have to change is the page header, which
is placed at the top of each page along with the page number.
The words included in the page header should be reflective of
the title of your paper, so that if the pages are intermixed with
other papers they will be identifiable. When using Word 2003
at a minimum, double click on the words in the page header.
31. This should enable you to edit the words. You should not have
to edit the page numbers.
In addition to spacing, APA style includes a special way of
citing resource articles. See the APA manual for specifics
regarding in-text citations. The APA manual also discusses the
desired tone of writing, grammar, punctuation, formatting for
numbers, and a variety of other important topics. Although the
APA style rules are used in this template, the purpose of the
template is only to demonstrate spacing and the general parts of
the paper. The student will need to refer to the APA manual for
other format directions. A sample reference page is included
below; however, this page includes special spacing and
formatting. The examples on the following page include
examples taken directly from the APA manual.
