You are requested to prepare an executive proposal to convince the company's Executive Leadership Team (ETL) to adopt and implement ERM in the company.
Write Response to below two Discussions seperately.APA format. 100 words each.
DISCUSSION 1:
Proposal for implementing ERM system
Implementation of a conceptual and effective enterprise risk management framework provides a number of benefits to the company because of its good practices. As the current prevailing situation in which the electric company operating in multiple states is still reluctant in taking a forward step and a better view in the overall risk management of the company, the proposed framework as given below has the major objective of assisting the company in upscaling their risk management approaches to the latest and state of the art techniques by using and implementing ERM (Ching & Colombo, 2014).
This proposed model for the implementation of ERM consists of four blocks:
First and the most important block consist of the enterprise risk management. The block is built upon the integration of the internal environment having organizational goals, policies strategies and other procedures related to the organizational importance and the existing risk assessment techniques moving forward to the evolution to ERM implementation.
In the second phase of the implementation, the potential outcomes of applying the ERM inn the business structure are visible which provide a basis of various benefits in the terms of tangible as well as non-tangible profits. The company can obtain competitive advantage using the Enterprise Risk Management System for required purposes.
For the efficient implementation of the ERM and keeping the loop evolved, the third phase of benchmarking is introduced. In this phase the company focuses on improvement tools. This phenomenon helps companies and organizations to define and refine their strategic goals, encourages the creativity and innovation and offer a structured and organized method of change management.
This arrangement of existing and new practices which are obtained in implementation of the ERM cycle are added to close the loop. With this loop rehashing constantly, it will empower the market great practices to earn the profit by managing various types of internal and external risks Successful ERM can give the essential data to settle on an educated .

Measuring Performance at Intuit A Value-Added Component in ERM Pr.docx
Measuring Performance at Intuit: A Value-Added Component in ERM Programs
ABC Organization is looking to improve on their Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. A board member saw Intuit’s ERM Performance Measurement Model case study. As with any ERM program, Intuit’s program has continued to evolve since 2009.
Intuit’s ERM program began with the company's practice of risk management on an ad hoc basis. When a problem occurred, team were formed to address the issue. When it was over, it was back to business as usual. In the late 2000’s, Intuit’s ERM program focused on building a sustainable risk management capability. The program provided leadership with current and emerging risks to help them make strategic decisions. Intuit built the program using a ERM maturity model to get the right foundation. It was realized that executive leadership needed to measure the performance of the program. So key risk indicators (KRIs) were used to understand the potential emerging risks and any trends that may impact current risks. Also, key performance indicators (KPIs) can help in understanding and manage current risks. By identifying these KRIs and KPIs in the, the case study reader should gain an understanding of the importance of and the need to incorporate these indicators.
As risk manager, you are responsible for ensuring your organization minimizes its risks. Your board became aware of this case study and has asked you to create a presentation for the next board meeting where you will present information about this case study and the effects of implementing KPIs and KRIs at Intuit.
Create a PowerPoint® narration report of at least 20 slides based on your findings about this case study along with the message that is delivered based upon this case (not including the cover page and reference page). If you do not own a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint use a comparable slide software or Google Slides (free and accessible from Google.com). In the presentation, address the following from the Intuit ERM program:
· What represents the key performance indicators of the ERM program?
· What represents the key risk indicators of the ERM program?
· What improvements would you make?
· Does this represent an effective risk management program? If not, what is missing? (Support your response with details from the case study and properly cited references.)
· Would this program work for a publicly traded corporation of similar size?
· How important do you view alignment and accountability among a management team?
Make sure to provide a reference slide that provides APA citations of any sources used in the PowerPoint presentation. This slide does not require narration. Written Parameters/Expectations:
· At least 20 slides in length, with each slide having a written narration in Standard English explaining the key ideas in each slide.
· The written narrative presentation should have a highly developed and sustained viewpoint and purpose.
· The written communication.

ENG 123 Writing Plan Guidelines and Rubric
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.
H. Describe a revision strategy that would be most effective while writing this essay. Why would this strategy be effective? ...

Measuring Performance at Intuit A Value-Added Component in ERM Pr.docx
Measuring Performance at Intuit: A Value-Added Component in ERM Programs
ABC Organization is looking to improve on their Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. A board member saw Intuit’s ERM Performance Measurement Model case study. As with any ERM program, Intuit’s program has continued to evolve since 2009.
Intuit’s ERM program began with the company's practice of risk management on an ad hoc basis. When a problem occurred, team were formed to address the issue. When it was over, it was back to business as usual. In the late 2000’s, Intuit’s ERM program focused on building a sustainable risk management capability. The program provided leadership with current and emerging risks to help them make strategic decisions. Intuit built the program using a ERM maturity model to get the right foundation. It was realized that executive leadership needed to measure the performance of the program. So key risk indicators (KRIs) were used to understand the potential emerging risks and any trends that may impact current risks. Also, key performance indicators (KPIs) can help in understanding and manage current risks. By identifying these KRIs and KPIs in the, the case study reader should gain an understanding of the importance of and the need to incorporate these indicators.
As risk manager, you are responsible for ensuring your organization minimizes its risks. Your board became aware of this case study and has asked you to create a presentation for the next board meeting where you will present information about this case study and the effects of implementing KPIs and KRIs at Intuit.
Create a PowerPoint® narration report of at least 20 slides based on your findings about this case study along with the message that is delivered based upon this case (not including the cover page and reference page). If you do not own a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint use a comparable slide software or Google Slides (free and accessible from Google.com). In the presentation, address the following from the Intuit ERM program:
· What represents the key performance indicators of the ERM program?
· What represents the key risk indicators of the ERM program?
· What improvements would you make?
· Does this represent an effective risk management program? If not, what is missing? (Support your response with details from the case study and properly cited references.)
· Would this program work for a publicly traded corporation of similar size?
· How important do you view alignment and accountability among a management team?
Make sure to provide a reference slide that provides APA citations of any sources used in the PowerPoint presentation. This slide does not require narration. Written Parameters/Expectations:
· At least 20 slides in length, with each slide having a written narration in Standard English explaining the key ideas in each slide.
· The written narrative presentation should have a highly developed and sustained viewpoint and purpose.
· The written communication.

ENG 123 Writing Plan Guidelines and Rubric
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.
H. Describe a revision strategy that would be most effective while writing this essay. Why would this strategy be effective? ...

Provide a brief introduction to your paper here. The title serves as your introductory heading, so there is no need for a heading titled “Introduction.” Here you will briefly discuss the purpose of the paper. Start first by writing a sentence or two on the topic in general; that is, the career planning in your desired population or setting. Then, follow up with a statement of the specific purpose or argument of this particular assignment (i.e., to illustrate a career plan designed to assist clients or students with identifying options for meaningful and desirable work). Remember, you need a minimum of three sentences to make a paragraph. At the end of your introduction, include a sentence outlining which topics will be discussed and in which order.
Case Study
In this section of your final project, you will develop a case study from which you will base your career plan. Do not use “Darren” from the resources. In your case study, you should briefly describe your client’s/student’s presenting problem or career concern, as well as relevant sociocultural factors that influence the case. Be sure to include all relevant information such as the client’s demographic variables (consider use of the ADDRESSING model of identity), the client’s specific career difficulties (e.g., problems maintaining adequate work/life balance, discrimination in the workplace, layoff/termination, relocation, dislike of job duties, etc.), and his or her goals for counseling. For example, in a clinical mental health setting, you might describe a 40-year-old African American woman who is seeking to explore new career options due to interpersonal difficulties at her current place of employment. In a school counseling setting, you might describe work with a 17-year-old high school senior whose parents emigrated from Mexico and is having difficulty deciding between college and the military. This section of your paper should be at least two paragraphs.

The topic of my Literature Review is Gender and Competition
Literature Review Paper (25%)
What is a Literature Review?
It is very important that you know what a literature is, its purpose, and how it is organized. A literature review is a summary of previous research on a topic. Its' purpose is to review the scholarly literature relevant to the topic you are studying. Some questions you may think about as you develop your literature review:
· What is known about the subject?
· Are there any gaps in the knowledge of the subject?
· Is there consensus about the topic (subtopics)?
· What aspects have generated significant debate on the topic?
· What methods or problems were identified by others studying in the field?
· What is the current status of research in this area or what direction do researchers feel need to be addressed in the future?
How do you write a Literature Review?
Summarize and explain what research has been done on the topic, citing the sources as you mention them. Point out the different ways researchers have treated the topic. Point out any connections between the sources especially where one source built upon prior study. Explain how this past work fits together and where scholars believe future research is headed.
You will be required to write a literature review on a specific (pre-approved) gender communication topic. This paper is to be presented in proper APA format (with the exception that it must be single spaced NOT double spaced) and it should be six full single spaced pages in length (not including the title page and the references page). This paper should expand your knowledge of the subject area, clearly demonstrate your vast understanding of the topic to the professor and provide readers with the most current, scholarly research on the topic. I must approve your topic before you begin to gathering your research.

· select a topic within gender communication to research (must receive my approval before you begin your research on your topic)
· provide a title page
· include an introduction section (generates interest in the topic, stresses the importance of the subject matter and includes a clear preview) 3/4 page in length
· provide a body section that is well organized with sub-sections of the various important aspects of your topics that are properly cited with in-text citations (use subheadings to organize the body of your paper) 5 pages in length
· end with your conclusion (provides closure to your paper) 1/4 page in length -be sure to label your conclusion
· provide a list of references in proper APA format (on a separate page entitled "References")

Paper due – day 7
Break-even exercise
Break-Even Analysis or Cost Volume Profit Analysis (CVP)
The California Medical Hospital is a full service hospital in Burbank, CA. Kathy Potts, the Chief Surgeon and Regina Johnson, the Hospital Administrator, have been working on a project to bring a new product to their hospital, knee replacements, to expand the services provided in hopes of bringing in additional revenue.
After much analysis and market studies the two are ready to present their findings to the board. You are the Finance Director who has put the information together.
They have decided that a new knee replacement will cost $17,000. The supplies used will cost the hospital $9,500 and the selling expenses paid amount to $3,000 per knee. The wing they will use will rent for $15,500 per month and the surgeon will receive a fixed salary of $25,000 per month. (Show your work on all problems)
1. Determine the number of knee replacements (in units) that particular wing must perform each month to break even. (Break-Even Point or BEP). In other words how many knee replacements must the surgeon perform each month to break-even?
2. Determine the number of knee replacements that particular wing must perform in order to generate a profit of $100,000 per month.
3. Assume that the surgeon can now open a clinic on his own with the following costs:
Variable costs = $9,500 per knee
One additional employee at a cost of $1,000 per month
Everything else remains the same from above
Determine the number of knee replacements to break-even.
4. Determine the number of knee replacements needed to generate a profit of $100,000 per month
What scenario would you recommend and why?
5. Please graph scenario #1 only. Use EXCEL to draw the graph. Label the X and Y axis. Plot the break-even point and show the fixed cost line. ( I only want to see three lines on the graph and the rest should be labelled)
6. Define break even analysis and its importance in the health care industry
7. Define variable costs
8. Define contribution margin
9. Define fixed costs
10. Compare and contrast a variance analysis and a sensitivity analysis

4.2 Discussion: Federal Reserve Tools
Getting Started
The adjustment in the supply of money is one of the tools used by the Federal Reserve to influence the economy by influencing interest rates. This assignment covers the mechanics of the money supply and how it influences interest rates. A thorough understanding of this concept will help you better understand how Federal Reserve policies may impact your business or organization.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
Evaluate the tools the Federal Reserve uses to change the money supply and interest rates.
Resources
Text:
Economics for Managers
Media: Federal Reserve
Background Information
In order to fully understand this assignment you must understand the functions of money 1) as a medium of exchange, 2) as a unit of account, and 3) as a store of value. Pages 362–363 in the textbook provide a definition and example of each of these functions for money and the ways the Federal Reserve measures the money supply.
Instructions
Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
As you read
Federal Reserve
focus on the three tools that the Federal Reserve uses to change the money supply and interest rates in the economy.
Navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to the following:
Write an explanation of the three tools that the Federal Reserve uses to change the money supply and interest rates in the economy.
Your audience should be considered an intelligent but uninformed citizen of the United States.
Be sure to explain why each tool works the way it does.
Defend your explanation with a detailed evaluation that demonstrates clear, insightful critical thinking.
Which of these tools is the most important and why? Defend your answer with a detailed evaluation that demonstrates clear, insightful critical thinking.
Your initial response should be 400 to 600 words in length and include two academic sources that are properly cited. It is due by the end of the fourth day of the workshop.
Now conduct a critical analysis of a posting by two of your classmates by the end of the workshop.
The topic of your discussion response should be your classmate’s posting and should be written as if you were reviewing his/her posting in an academic journal. Your discussion response should, therefore, answer the following questions as applicable:
Were your classmate’s arguments articulate and logical? Were the facts correct?
Was the interpretation your classmate provided reasonable and consistent with experts in the field? Was your classmate consistent with both the substance and intent of his/her references?
The focus for your critical analysis is not whether or not you agree with your classmate, but how well his/her position was presented. Each response should be at least 200 words in length and cite two academic sources. Please strive to make your discussion responses ones tha.

Provide a brief introduction to your paper here. The title serves as your introductory heading, so there is no need for a heading titled “Introduction.” Here you will briefly discuss the purpose of the paper. Start first by writing a sentence or two on the topic in general; that is, the career planning in your desired population or setting. Then, follow up with a statement of the specific purpose or argument of this particular assignment (i.e., to illustrate a career plan designed to assist clients or students with identifying options for meaningful and desirable work). Remember, you need a minimum of three sentences to make a paragraph. At the end of your introduction, include a sentence outlining which topics will be discussed and in which order.
Case Study
In this section of your final project, you will develop a case study from which you will base your career plan. Do not use “Darren” from the resources. In your case study, you should briefly describe your client’s/student’s presenting problem or career concern, as well as relevant sociocultural factors that influence the case. Be sure to include all relevant information such as the client’s demographic variables (consider use of the ADDRESSING model of identity), the client’s specific career difficulties (e.g., problems maintaining adequate work/life balance, discrimination in the workplace, layoff/termination, relocation, dislike of job duties, etc.), and his or her goals for counseling. For example, in a clinical mental health setting, you might describe a 40-year-old African American woman who is seeking to explore new career options due to interpersonal difficulties at her current place of employment. In a school counseling setting, you might describe work with a 17-year-old high school senior whose parents emigrated from Mexico and is having difficulty deciding between college and the military. This section of your paper should be at least two paragraphs.

Be sure to provide a rationale for the activities you identify, using specific career theories as a framework. For example, if using a Holland-type career assessment, be sure to explain Holland’s ideas on the connection between personality characteristics and job titles, and how the assessment would promote career exploration in this case. Additionally, be sure to also consider other questions such as: “What techniques would you use to develop rapport, express empathy, and encourage your client/student to tell his or her story?” and “How would you broach the role of sociocultur ...

Literature Review Paper (25%)
What is a Literature Review?
It is very important that you know what a literature is, its purpose, and how it is organized. A literature review is a summary of previous research on a topic. Its' purpose is to review the scholarly literature relevant to the topic you are studying. Some questions you may think about as you develop your literature review:
· What is known about the subject?
· Are there any gaps in the knowledge of the subject?
· Is there consensus about the topic (subtopics)?
· What aspects have generated significant debate on the topic?
· What methods or problems were identified by others studying in the field?
· What is the current status of research in this area or what direction do researchers feel need to be addressed in the future?
How do you write a Literature Review?
Summarize and explain what research has been done on the topic, citing the sources as you mention them. Point out the different ways researchers have treated the topic. Point out any connections between the sources especially where one source built upon prior study. Explain how this past work fits together and where scholars believe future research is headed.
You will be required to write a literature review on a specific (pre-approved) gender communication topic. This paper is to be presented in proper APA format (with the exception that it must be single spaced NOT double spaced) and it should be six full single spaced pages in length (not including the title page and the references page). This paper should expand your knowledge of the subject area, clearly demonstrate your vast understanding of the topic to the professor and provide readers with the most current, scholarly research on the topic. I must approve your topic before you begin to gathering your research.

· select a topic within gender communication to research (must receive my approval before you begin your research on your topic)
· provide a title page
· include an introduction section (generates interest in the topic, stresses the importance of the subject matter and includes a clear preview) 3/4 page in length
· provide a body section that is well organized with sub-sections of the various important aspects of your topics that are properly cited with in-text citations (use subheadings to organize the body of your paper) 5 pages in length
· end with your conclusion (provides closure to your paper) 1/4 page in length -be sure to label your conclusion
· provide a list of references in proper APA format (on a separate page entitled "References")

They have decided that a new knee replacement will cost $17,000. The supplies used will cost the hospital $9,500 and the selling expenses paid amount to $3,000 per knee. The wing they will use will rent for $15,500 per month and the surgeon will receive a fixed salary of $25,000 per month. (Show your work on all problems)
1. Determine the number of knee replacements (in units) that particular wing must perform each month to break even. (Break-Even Point or BEP). In other words how many knee replacements must the surgeon perform each month to break-even?
2. Determine the number of knee replacements that particular wing must perform in order to generate a profit of $100,000 per month.
3. Assume that the surgeon can now open a clinic on his own with the following costs:
Variable costs = $9,500 per knee
One additional employee at a cost of $1,000 per month
Everything else remains the same from above
Determine the number of knee replacements to break-even.
4. Determine the number of knee replacements needed to generate a profit of $100,000 per month
What scenario would you recommend and why?
5. Please graph scenario #1 only. Use EXCEL to draw the graph. Label the X and Y axis. Plot the break-even point and show the fixed cost line. ( I only want to see three lines on the graph and the rest should be labelled)
6. Define break even analysis and its importance in the health care industry
7. Define variable costs
8. Define contribution margin
9. Define fixed costs
10. Compare and contrast a variance analysis and a sensitivity analysis

1. Jesus was both a person of his times and a figure whose teachings have obviously transcended his specific context. How did Jesus’s life and teachings better fit the first century? How do Jesus’s life and teachings seem to apply today? Which do you think better characterizes Jesus’s actual life and teachings? Is it more convincing to you that the first century Jesus resists our expectations, or that he anticipates them?
2. Jesus and the early Christians were a part of the larger Jewish context. At the same time, they also brought a number of innovations and new combinations. Compare Jesus’s life and message to that of the Pharisees, Essenes, followers of John the Baptist, Sadducees, priests, and/or the temple. How did Jesus and the early Christians fit with these other Jewish groups? How did they challenge them? Is it more convincing to you that Jesus and the early Christians were part of first century Judaism, or that they pushed to create a new religion?
3. Jesus avoided political attention for most of his life and work. Whatever he taught, he taught it skillfully and carefully enough that political figures allowed him to continue when many others were crucified. And yet, at the end, he too was crucified, but alone. Describe both the ways in which the historical Jesus avoided political confrontation and the ways in which he touched on politically sensitive ideas. Which gives us a better portrait of Jesus—the one who was politically cautious, or the rebel?

Chinese HistoryBased on the lecture on Chinese History and Marxi.docx
Chinese History
Based on the lecture on Chinese History and Marxist Historiography that we can observe that women’s values for love and marriage have changed dramatically. China entered different periods from the feudal system to the opening of China. In the feudal period, people attached importance to family ethics took the land as the main interest and lived a life according to family rules. However, after China entered the capitalist era, capitalism encouraged people to pursue money and material life.
Marriage and love are very important to a woman. However, at different times, a woman has a completely different way of life. For example, Yulian lived in a feudal period dominated by family so she put her husband's family first. In my opinion, Yulian sacrificed her love and happiness for putting family first, which is a great thing but not worth it. However, Jia Jia from the beginning of the gold digger because of a series of events and become a brave pursuit of their own love and life woman is very worthy of praise.
With the passage of time, people's concept has changed gradually, from the old conservative value of family to the priority of their own ideas, from the pursuit of land as the interest standard to the pursuit of money and material life as the most important goal, which is an important symbol of the changing times.
Jia Jia and Julian have something in common. They all focus on who can give them a stable and good life. However, the difference is that Yulian follows the traditional idea of giving priority to her family but Jia Jia is based on their own ideas to live out their own life.
Marxist Historiography
1. Marxist Historiography has five different stages. The first stage is Primitive Communism, People at this stage use hunting as raw meat, which is the most important asset. The second stage is Oriental Slavery, the agricultural development began, and people willing to fight elsewhere and take slaves to cultivate for themselves. The most valuable is the slave. The third stage is Feudalism, serfs or peasants serve for their king and pay the rent or tax. Capitalism is the four-stage, the most important asset is money. The five-stage is Communism, for this stage that no more private ownership and it will be a world of peace and no war.
2. Base on Marxist Historiography lecture, the era of Yulian's life is very important to the family. She listens to her family's arrangements to get married and takes care of her husband's family after marriage. So I think Yulian is in the third stage of the Marxism Feudalism stage because people at this stage serve the king, they obedient and obey the rules. Yulian's life all follow her husband’s family and obey her family. Jia Jia emphasized that she has money from the beginning of the film. Anything she wants that she just use money to get it. All Jia Jia thinks that she can buy it with money. Therefore, Jia Jia is the fourth stage Capitalism stage in Marxism.
3. On the stage of Yulian so be .

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Make sure to indent each paragraph and use double spacing for the text of the paper. The correct margins and fonts are already set up for you! As you type, the References page will always make itself your last page. You don’t have to do anything for this to happen! Here is how you cite your source in-text using APA format, and remember each paragraph has to have a citation at the end showing where you located your data. Use the other links your instructor provided in the course syllabus for different sources. But they all follow the same basic format of parenthesis then author then year of publication then page numbers then parenthesis then period. Here is an example for citing one book: Just as Sherlock Holmes investigates a case, psychologists must evaluate all the available data before making a deduction, lest they jump to an erroneous conclusion on the basis of insufficient evidence (Bram & Peebles, 2014, pp. 32–33).
