Communication: The Journey of Message
We have all had moments where communication meant the difference between resolving an issue and creating one. Describe an event or incident where being an active listener allowed you to calm a situation. Here are some questions to consider:
· What ways did dialogue contribute to diffusing the situation?
· Did you or the other people involved demonstrate body language cues that signaled the situation was escalating or diminishing?
· How did the situation resolve?
· If you could revisit that situation now, what would you change?
Click here to share your story!
Effective Communication in Art
Click on the picture icon to the right and insert images of art (any visual representation) that communicates new understanding of diversity issues. This can be anything from a multi-racial family to the physically active elderly sky diving or water skiing (defying the stereotypes on aging). Click on the word "Text" and describe the message being communicated and explain why some people might miss or ignore this message. If necessary, reference the image on the References page.
Listening to the Voiceless
Go to this YouTube channel and view three or more interviews with the homeless that are not from your race/ethnicity/gender group. Select one that you feel created the most effective message to help yourself and others understand the unique issues facing the homeless population. Once you select your video, click on 'share,' then click on 'embed,' and finally click on 'copy' found at the lower right.
Next, click inside the textbox below, then click on the "Insert" menu and select "Online Video" from the menu. Select the option where you 'paste' the embed code. If necessary, reference the video on the References page.

Address the following questions:
1. What feelings or emotions did the video draw out in you? What made you connect to the person being interviewed?
2. What stereotypes did you find yourself falling into initially?
3. How might this video or others like it bring an end to othering of the homeless?

Literature and Identity Power
Literature has been used over the centuries in assimilating cultures and establishing cultures, but in more modern times it has become an effective tool to bring 'voice' to the marginalized and underrepresented. One example is Amy Tan, an Asian American writer of the novel, The Joy Luck Club, and many others. Her essays often focus on Identity Power in ways that are inclusive to all groups which is one reason her work has been so effective. Click on this link and read her essay "Mother Tongue."

Writing Assignment: Research Proposal Letter
For this assignment, you will write your research proposal letter. You are required to submit
only your final draft for this assignment (though we encourage all students to take advantage of
the additional feedback a draft can provide). Use the grader’s feedback and the rubric to make
revisions to your draft before submitting the final. Your second draft will be graded.
This research proposal letter will be directed to an audience who can create change
(Congressperson, business administrators, or other similar audience.) In the proposal, you
need to suggest a change or a solution to a current problem. As you have already chosen a
topic for your research proposal letter in Topic 6 and conducted an interview that will
become one of your sources for this letter, you do not need to choose a topic. You must use
the same topic that you began researching in Topic 6, and you must use your interview as a
source.
Your research proposal should be presented in a letter format including the following
information:
• Your mailing address (Note: For privacy reasons, you may opt to not disclose your
mailing address when you submit your letter to our graders for review; however,
should you choose to mail your letter to your chosen recipient, you will need to
include your mailing address, as this is a customary business letter practice.) Note
that a formal letter does not require your name in the header. Your name will go at
the end, with your closing.
• The date you wrote the letter
• A name and mailing address for the individual to whom you are writing the letter
• A greeting or salutation
• A closing and your typed name (Note: A written signature is optional for your
submission, but should you choose to send your letter, you would need to include
your written signature between the closing and your typed name.)
Scroll to the end of these instructions for an idea of how you should format this
assignment.
To organize this information, follow the format included in the course site in the

devote more than one paragraph to describe the problem if needed. To determine
the extent of the information you must provide about the problem, consider the
letter recipient’s understanding of the problem.

Explain the specifics of your proposal. What are your solutions to solve this problem,
step by step? What is the cost? How is this cost incurred? What ideas do you have for

Writing Assignment Media Analysis You are required to submi.docx
Writing Assignment: Media Analysis
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes if you want to improve your score.
For this media analysis, you will analyze how one part affects the whole media production.
Note that you should select only a single piece of media; you should not be discussing more
than one film, for example. You should choose one1 of the following parts to explore:
Genre: Explain how the production you chose fits into its genre.
Camera: Analyze how the camera’s use (camera angles, for instance) affects the
overall production.
Lighting: Describe how lighting is used to enhance or detract from the production.
Actors/Characters: Analyze how the actors OR the characters themselves enhance or
detract from the production.
Symbols: Explain what the symbols are and how their usage affects the overall
production.
Music: Describe how the music enhances or detracts from the media production.
Sound Effects: Analyze how the sound effects enhance or detract from the
production.
Special Effects: Explain what special effects are used and how they affect the viewing
experience.
Comparison to a Literary Work: (Note: This option may only be chosen if the film you
chose is also in print form.) How are the book and film similar? How are they
different? Which is better, and why?
Your purpose in this assignment is to explain how or why something works; therefore, you
should not include a full summary of the media production. Instead, you can provide context
where needed so the reader understands what is happening. The body of the essay must

components.
focus on your analysis. You can use the ideas contained in the Media Analysis lesson
presentation and the Writer’s Handbook link to help you.
As with all college writing, your essay should have a strong thesis statement in addition to an
introduction, body, and conclusion.
Other than your chosen film, television show, and/or book, you are required to cite at least
one other credible2 source for this essay. This resource from the course will help you
understand more about evaluating sources. Moreover, if you use specific information from
the media production and/or print source, such as a quotations, you should include your
chosen media source on your Works Cited page, too. Use proper parenthetical citations or
signal phrases, and be sure to include MLA documentation and a Works Cited pag.
Writing Assignment Illustration Essay You are required to s.docx
Writing Assignment: Illustration Essay
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes.
In short, an illustration essay will use clear, interesting examples to show, explain, and
support a thesis statement (remember, your thesis is your main argument, or the main
point you’re trying to make). One key to an effective illustration essay is to use enough
details and specific examples to make your point effectively. In other words, descriptive
writing is key.
You have several options for this assignment, so you will need to choose one:
Illustrate the ideal work environment. If everything was perfect at work, what would
it be like? Describe everything in this environment—perhaps from the dispositions of
your coworkers and supervisors to what clothes you wear to work.
Illustrate what it means to be a “true friend.” What does being a “true friend” mean
to you? What “true friends” have you had, and how do their actions coincide with
being your definition of a “true friend?”
Illustrate how your favorite team or player received their current standing or
ranking. How did the team or player do in the most recent season? What qualities did
this team or player demonstrate to earn this ranking?
Look at your favorite poem or short story, and use illustration to explain what
makes it your favorite. Do you enjoy the author’s language? Do you enjoy the
storyline? What else do you enjoy that makes it your favorite?
Illustrate the purpose of props on the set of your favorite media production. What
props are there? Why are they important?
Illustrate how to create your favorite dish. What steps are required to create this
dish? Be sure that you take your audience through this process step by step!
Illustrate how to play your favorite game. What steps and/or actions are necessary
to play this game? Take your readers through the motions, step by step.
The questions above are designed to help you begin brainstorming ideas; however, you are
free to develop your own brainstorming questions and use them to develop your essay.
Since the purpose of this essay is to illustrate, you should have enough specific details and
examples for your essay to be considered an illustration essay.
Many illustrations may come from your personal experiences. However, even personal
experiences should be supported by research in college essays. Thus, you must cite at least
one credible1 source to earn maximum credit for this essay. This resource from the course

Writing Assignment Critical Review of World Music Essay.docx
Writing Assignment:
Critical Review of "World Music" Essay
Choose from Topic A.
• Suggested length:
3 pages or 600 words and a reference page
.
• Final Paper Due
Topic A:
A defining feature of "world music," "world beat," or "ethno-pop," as it has variously been called, is the production of recordings by well-known American and European pop musicians that include traditional musicians from other cultures performing in a back-up role, or that call attention to themselves by the use of musical exotica extracted from traditional cultures. Such recordings suggest a range of issues and questions that invite critique and debate. Some of these are listed below:
1. How do a recording's musical arrangements, title, graphics, and accompanying notes represent the relationship between Western lead musicians and participating traditional musicians?
2. Is music on the recording attributed to an author, composer, or arranger? Who holds the copyright? What do attributions and credits suggest about rights to, and ownership of, the music?
3. Are the musical and personal relationships negotiated through the production of the album compatible with beliefs about rights to, and ownership of, music in the imported tradition represented on the recording?
4. Does the lead artist show musical respect for the imported tradition(s) represented on the recording? What is "musical respect" and how might it be shown or not shown?
5. Do artists who employ traditional musicians have obligations not only to the musicians but to the political entities or cultural traditions that they represent? What factors would determine whether they do or do not?
6. Should traditional musicians be implicated in the capitalist culture of risk that is an inherent part of the record business? That is, should traditional musicians get a fixed "session" fee for participating in a recording, or should they be paid royalties based on sales?
7. Are cross-cultural "world music" and "world beat" projects inherently opportunistic and exploitative?

Writing Assignment: Critical Review of "World Music" Recording
Choose from Topic A.
• Suggested length:
3 pages or 600 words and a reference page
.
• First Draft Due in Module 4
• Final Paper Due in Module 6
• Completion Time: First draft – 4 hours. Final draft – 3 hours.
Topic A:
A defining feature of "world music," "world beat," or "ethno-pop," as it has variously been called, is the production of recordings by well-known American and European pop musicians that include traditional musicians from other cultures performing in a back-up role, or that call attention to themselves by the use of musical exotica extracted from traditional cultures. Such recordings suggest a range of issues and questions that invite critique and debate. Some of these are listed below:
1. How do a recording's musical arrangements, title, graphics, and accompanying notes represent the relationship between Western lead musicians and participating traditional musicians?
2. Is music on the recording attributed to an author, composer, or arranger? Who holds the copyright? What do attributions and credits suggest about rights to, and ownership of, the music?
3. Are the musical and personal relationships negotiated through the production of the album compatible with beliefs about rights to, and ownership of, music in the imported tradition represented on the recording?
4. Does the lead artist show musical respect for the imported tradition(s) represented on the recording? What is "musical respect" and how might it be shown or not shown?
5. Do artists who employ traditional musicians have obligations not only to the musicians but to the political entities or cultural traditions that they represent? What factors would determine whether they do or do not?
6. Should traditional musicians be implicated in the capitalist culture of risk that is an inherent part of the record business? That is, should traditional musicians get a fixed "session" fee for participating in a recording, or should they be paid royalties based on sales?
7. Are cross-cultural "world music" and "world beat" projects inherently opportunistic and exploitative?
The Assignment:
Choose either a recording from the attached list or a recording not on the list that meets the criteria of "a cross-cultural fusion in which Western musicians work with artists or musical material from traditions different than their own." If you choose a recording not on the list, please let me know what it is before you begin your work.

Vices are traits of character that make life go badly for people.
Instructions: The vices listed above are commonly referred to as “The Seven Deadly Sins”. Your job is to decide which ONE of the seven is the WORST vice to possess and make an argument that explains what makes it worse than the others on the list. Be careful not to make an argument that includes two or tries to address both sides. The purpose of this essay is to inform and persuade the reader that ONE of these sins supersedes all others. Use examples from Serial, the OJ series/case, Galileo articles, any of our serial killer notes, etc. One approach might be to choose which killer you think was the worst and focus on how the specific vice caused him to go down this path to destruction. Consider which sin has the most lasting effects or severe consequences and why.
Possible information to include in your essay:
o What is __________ (envy, greed, etc.)?
o Why is ___________ so bad? How is __________ a poison that hurts both others and oneself?
o What virtue is the opposite of ________? What are some ways to get rid of ________ from our lives?
· Use at least two CREDIBLE outside sources in addition to the podcast scripts (try to use at least 2 references to secondary sources in each body paragraph). Make sure that you cite your sources correctly. Use plenty of specific, concrete examples to support your argument. Write clearly and coherently. Focus on effectively using the rhetorical strategies we have discussed in class (see Rhetorical Devices sheet or the Thank You for Arguing pdf on D2L for more info on this if you need ideas on what this should look like in context). Also, there are numerous examples of essays on D2L for you to peruse.
· Be sure to format your essay according to MLA (12 point Times New Roman font, double spaced, labeled correctly, title, etc.).
Step 1- Write your thesis statement and have it approved
Step 2- Write your topic sentences and have them approved

WRITING ASSIGNMENT 21.The plaintiffs—the Nicols, Hoerrs, Turners.docx
WRITING ASSIGNMENT 2
1.The plaintiffs—the Nicols, Hoerrs, Turners, and Andersons—purchased subdivision lots from Ken Nelson. The lots bordered an undeveloped tract and offered scenic views of an adjacent lake. When Nelson and his partners began taking steps to develop the previously undeveloped tract, the plaintiffs sued. The trial court found that the plaintiffs had purchased their lots only after receiving oral assurances from Nelson that (1) the tract would remain undeveloped open space, (2) the property was owned by a company that had no plans to build on the land, (3) he held an option to purchase the property if it became available, and (4) he would not develop the land if it came under his ownership. Concluding that the plaintiffs had reasonably relied on Nelson’s oral promise, the trial court enjoined Nelson’s development of the property based on promissory estoppel. Nelson appealed, arguing that the Statute of Frauds, which requires that contracts involving interests in real property be in writing, barred enforcement of his oral promise. Is the trail court correct or is Nelson correct? Discuss fully.

Writing Assignment #2
PURPOSE
This is a second opportunity to practice professional business writing, developing a persuasive argument, and focusing on a specific audience with my direct feedback.
CONTEXT
The Case
First Health of Oregon (a fictional company) is the leading hospital and health care system in Oregon. Dedicated to offering superior care, education, research, and service, their 12,000 staff members serve over 300,000 patients annually with a wide spectrum of needs, from cardiovascular surgery to preventative medicine to health education programs. They also have a 98% patient approval rating, one of the highest in the nation.
FHO prides itself on being a rewarding, respectful place to work. Employees have a great deal of autonomy and privacy, a supportive work environment, generous benefit packages, and many opportunities to take optional health and other self-improvement classes.
Recently, FHO has been facing serious financial challenges that require immediate changes to its employee health care package. Like employers nationwide, FHO has faced double-digit increases each year in the cost of the health insurance provided as a part of employee benefits. Despite optional wellness programs available to all employees, the FHO workforce has the same rates of unhealthy behavior (smoking, obesity, etc.) and related health problems as the rest of the nation, and its insurance costs have remained high.
The vice president for human resources at FHO, has been charged with recommending immediate changes to the employee health care policy. Besides addressing the immediate financial need, the vice president’s recommendations must conform to FHO’s value statement, which is posted on its website:
Values Statement of First Health of Oregon
The values of First Health of Oregon (FHO) determine our mission, vision, and services. We value the following:
· A patient’s total care, including mind, body and spirit
· Excellence in education for health care providers
· Quality of care and respect for life
· Charity, equality and justice in health care
· Leadership in health promotion and wellness
· Excellence in research
· An internal community of mutual trust and respect
FHO’s mission is to improve the health of our patients and community through innovation and excellence in care, education, research and service.
The vision that guides FHO is as follows: “First Health of Oregon is an acknowledged leader in quality clinical care, education, and research. Excellence is measured by objective evidence and established best practices. Exemplary levels of respect and dignity are given to patients and their families, while professionalism and collegiality mark relationships among all employees and physicians.”
A community’s needs are real. So is the desire to help. FHO has an ambitious vision for the future, one that requires everyone’s help to make a difference.
That’s why we’ve issued “A Call to Change,” FHO’s mission in action. A Call to Change is a call to im.

Disability Discrimination
Overview
This Writing Assignment is required to provide students with the opportunity to:
• Investigate a “subtopic” of special interest associated with any of the major topics addressed during the course.
• Acquire in depth knowledge about a “subtopic” of choice – expanding one’s knowledge base beyond the basic course curriculum.
• Reflect on facts, theories, and opinions associated with the subtopic of choice. Develop or change an opinion about the subject.

Instructions
1. Research the topic that you have chosen or have been assigned.
Listing for spring 2017 (listing will be available after week 3)
IMPORTANT: If using Internet based resources, ensure that resources are of high quality, such as websites that end in .gov or .edu.
Do not use the following as resources:
Law firm web sites
Law firms are trying to solicit clients. In Employment law, law firms usually represent either employers or workers - few represent both. As such, their web sites are designed to attract the clients they seek to represent. Therefore, the information contained therein may not be completely accurate as the information provided may be skewed to either a management or employee perspective.
Websites such as Wikipedia or ehow
Information found on those sites may not be reliable.
2. Organize and develop your writing assignment
Use the following format: Overview, Opinion Statements, Resource Citations.
Use the headings to divide your work into the 3 required areas in your paper.
Overview
Provide an overview of your topic using at least two resources.
Highlight the most important concepts.
The overview should be no more than 500 words. That’s about 7 – 8 average length paragraphs.
Do not place your opinions in the overview. This is an academically oriented portion of the assignment. Your opinions are welcome in the next portion of the paper.Your overview MUST include citation of sources within the text of the document. You are not the originator of the information being presented. The authors must be identified. Failing to provide citations within the content of your overview is considered plagiarism.
Example: (Last name of author, title of resource, page if available)

Writing Assignment #2 Technical Description Summary of t.docx
Writing Assignment #2
Technical Description
Summary of the Assignment:
Task: In this assignment, you will write a technical description for a non-specialized
audience. You will explain to a non-technical audience how something works. You will
choose an object or a process with which you are familiar. You will describe this object
or process to an audience that has little or no background of the subject.
Length: 500-800 words, single-spaced
Graphics: You must include at least one graphic.
o graphics borrowed from other sources need to be cited in APA format
o all graphics should be labeled
Sample Technical Descriptions from Previous WRTG 393 Students:
In our class in LEO, if you select Content, you will see a section labelled sample papers for
WRTG 393.
If you select that section, you will see some sample white papers written by previous students in
WRTG 393.
Brief Description and Strategies:
Keep in mind that you are not writing instructions on how to do something. You wrote
instructions for writing assignment #1. For writing assignment #2, if you describe a process, you
may want to describe a process that does not involve direct human action. This approach will
help prevent you from writing another set of instructions for this assignment. If you describe a
process, you will describe an activity or phenomenon that takes place. For example, you could
describe how the heart pumps blood in the human body. But you could not give instructions on
how to take someone’s blood.
Your description will include graphics. The description will use visual detail in both words and
images. You might consider one of the following two strategies:
provide one main graphic and refer to parts in the graphic when writing your technical
description
provide many graphics, integrating each graphic as you write the various parts of the
technical description
Examples of topics for this assignment include the following:
You are an auto mechanic. You could write a description of how spark plugs work to an
audience of non-mechanics. You would not write a set of instructions on how to install
spark plugs. You would describe how spark plugs work.
You work in technical support at a computer store. You could write a description of how
a graphics card works to an audience that is not familiar with computers. You would not
write a set of instructions on how to install a graphics card. You would describe how
graphics cards work.
You are in a branch of the military. You could write a description of how a function of
your unit operates to a non-military audience. You would not write a set of instructions
on how to do something in the military unit. You would describe how a function or
process in the military unit operates.
You might describe a piece of equipment that you included in your set of instructions for
writing assignment #1. For example, assume that.

Writing Assignment:
Critical Review of "World Music" Essay
Choose from Topic A.
• Suggested length:
3 pages or 600 words and a reference page
.
• Final Paper Due
Topic A:
A defining feature of "world music," "world beat," or "ethno-pop," as it has variously been called, is the production of recordings by well-known American and European pop musicians that include traditional musicians from other cultures performing in a back-up role, or that call attention to themselves by the use of musical exotica extracted from traditional cultures. Such recordings suggest a range of issues and questions that invite critique and debate. Some of these are listed below:
1. How do a recording's musical arrangements, title, graphics, and accompanying notes represent the relationship between Western lead musicians and participating traditional musicians?
2. Is music on the recording attributed to an author, composer, or arranger? Who holds the copyright? What do attributions and credits suggest about rights to, and ownership of, the music?
3. Are the musical and personal relationships negotiated through the production of the album compatible with beliefs about rights to, and ownership of, music in the imported tradition represented on the recording?
4. Does the lead artist show musical respect for the imported tradition(s) represented on the recording? What is "musical respect" and how might it be shown or not shown?
5. Do artists who employ traditional musicians have obligations not only to the musicians but to the political entities or cultural traditions that they represent? What factors would determine whether they do or do not?
6. Should traditional musicians be implicated in the capitalist culture of risk that is an inherent part of the record business? That is, should traditional musicians get a fixed "session" fee for participating in a recording, or should they be paid royalties based on sales?
7. Are cross-cultural "world music" and "world beat" projects inherently opportunistic and exploitative?
The Assignment:
Choose either a recording from the attached list or a recording not on the list that meets the criteria of "a cross-cultural fusion in which Western musicians work with artists or musical material from traditions different than their own." If you choose a recording not on the list, please let me know what it is before you begin your work.
Write a critical review of the recording in which you do the following:
1. Offer a concise description of the musical and aesthetic concept behind the recording, or answer the question, "What did the artists or producers set out to do?"
2. Discuss the way in which "roots" music is incorporated into the musical sound.
3. Discuss musical, aesthetics, and ethical issues that the recording raises, taking into account the list provided above. Think about the relationship between aesthetics (what is beauty?) and ethics (what is good?). You are welcome to consider issues on the.

Vices are traits of character that make life go badly for people.
Instructions: The vices listed above are commonly referred to as “The Seven Deadly Sins”. Your job is to decide which ONE of the seven is the WORST vice to possess and make an argument that explains what makes it worse than the others on the list. Be careful not to make an argument that includes two or tries to address both sides. The purpose of this essay is to inform and persuade the reader that ONE of these sins supersedes all others. Use examples from Serial, the OJ series/case, Galileo articles, any of our serial killer notes, etc. One approach might be to choose which killer you think was the worst and focus on how the specific vice caused him to go down this path to destruction. Consider which sin has the most lasting effects or severe consequences and why.
Possible information to include in your essay:
o What is __________ (envy, greed, etc.)?
o Why is ___________ so bad? How is __________ a poison that hurts both others and oneself?
o What virtue is the opposite of ________? What are some ways to get rid of ________ from our lives?
· Use at least two CREDIBLE outside sources in addition to the podcast scripts (try to use at least 2 references to secondary sources in each body paragraph). Make sure that you cite your sources correctly. Use plenty of specific, concrete examples to support your argument. Write clearly and coherently. Focus on effectively using the rhetorical strategies we have discussed in class (see Rhetorical Devices sheet or the Thank You for Arguing pdf on D2L for more info on this if you need ideas on what this should look like in context). Also, there are numerous examples of essays on D2L for you to peruse.
· Be sure to format your essay according to MLA (12 point Times New Roman font, double spaced, labeled correctly, title, etc.).
Step 1- Write your thesis statement and have it approved
Step 2- Write your topic sentences and have them approved
Step 3- Type or write a complete outline of your essay (example given in class—document on D2L)
Step 4- Visit the writing center with your outline; compose a draft, reread, and edit. Have MORE than one person (tutor, professor, friend, peer) read and edit your essay.
Step 5- Read, revise, and edit draft and make corrections. Check the feedback sheet and formal writing rules as well as notes from your first assignment before submitting to the WA2 drop box. (Must be saved as either Word, RTF, or PDF file before submitting to DB).

WRITING ASSIGNMENT 21.The plaintiffs—the Nicols, Hoerrs, Turners.docx
WRITING ASSIGNMENT 2
1.The plaintiffs—the Nicols, Hoerrs, Turners, and Andersons—purchased subdivision lots from Ken Nelson. The lots bordered an undeveloped tract and offered scenic views of an adjacent lake. When Nelson and his partners began taking steps to develop the previously undeveloped tract, the plaintiffs sued. The trial court found that the plaintiffs had purchased their lots only after receiving oral assurances from Nelson that (1) the tract would remain undeveloped open space, (2) the property was owned by a company that had no plans to build on the land, (3) he held an option to purchase the property if it became available, and (4) he would not develop the land if it came under his ownership. Concluding that the plaintiffs had reasonably relied on Nelson’s oral promise, the trial court enjoined Nelson’s development of the property based on promissory estoppel. Nelson appealed, arguing that the Statute of Frauds, which requires that contracts involving interests in real property be in writing, barred enforcement of his oral promise. Is the trail court correct or is Nelson correct? Discuss fully.

Writing Assignment #2
PURPOSE
This is a second opportunity to practice professional business writing, developing a persuasive argument, and focusing on a specific audience with my direct feedback.
CONTEXT
The Case
First Health of Oregon (a fictional company) is the leading hospital and health care system in Oregon. Dedicated to offering superior care, education, research, and service, their 12,000 staff members serve over 300,000 patients annually with a wide spectrum of needs, from cardiovascular surgery to preventative medicine to health education programs. They also have a 98% patient approval rating, one of the highest in the nation.
FHO prides itself on being a rewarding, respectful place to work. Employees have a great deal of autonomy and privacy, a supportive work environment, generous benefit packages, and many opportunities to take optional health and other self-improvement classes.
Recently, FHO has been facing serious financial challenges that require immediate changes to its employee health care package. Like employers nationwide, FHO has faced double-digit increases each year in the cost of the health insurance provided as a part of employee benefits. Despite optional wellness programs available to all employees, the FHO workforce has the same rates of unhealthy behavior (smoking, obesity, etc.) and related health problems as the rest of the nation, and its insurance costs have remained high.
The vice president for human resources at FHO, has been charged with recommending immediate changes to the employee health care policy. Besides addressing the immediate financial need, the vice president’s recommendations must conform to FHO’s value statement, which is posted on its website:
Values Statement of First Health of Oregon
The values of First Health of Oregon (FHO) determine our mission, vision, and services. We value the following:
· A patient’s total care, including mind, body and spirit
· Excellence in education for health care providers
· Quality of care and respect for life
· Charity, equality and justice in health care
· Leadership in health promotion and wellness
· Excellence in research
· An internal community of mutual trust and respect
FHO’s mission is to improve the health of our patients and community through innovation and excellence in care, education, research and service.
The vision that guides FHO is as follows: “First Health of Oregon is an acknowledged leader in quality clinical care, education, and research. Excellence is measured by objective evidence and established best practices. Exemplary levels of respect and dignity are given to patients and their families, while professionalism and collegiality mark relationships among all employees and physicians.”
A community’s needs are real. So is the desire to help. FHO has an ambitious vision for the future, one that requires everyone’s help to make a difference.
That’s why we’ve issued “A Call to Change,” FHO’s mission in action. A Call to Change is a call to im.

Disability Discrimination
Overview
This Writing Assignment is required to provide students with the opportunity to:
• Investigate a “subtopic” of special interest associated with any of the major topics addressed during the course.
• Acquire in depth knowledge about a “subtopic” of choice – expanding one’s knowledge base beyond the basic course curriculum.
• Reflect on facts, theories, and opinions associated with the subtopic of choice. Develop or change an opinion about the subject.

Instructions
1. Research the topic that you have chosen or have been assigned.
Listing for spring 2017 (listing will be available after week 3)
IMPORTANT: If using Internet based resources, ensure that resources are of high quality, such as websites that end in .gov or .edu.
Do not use the following as resources:
Law firm web sites
Law firms are trying to solicit clients. In Employment law, law firms usually represent either employers or workers - few represent both. As such, their web sites are designed to attract the clients they seek to represent. Therefore, the information contained therein may not be completely accurate as the information provided may be skewed to either a management or employee perspective.
Websites such as Wikipedia or ehow
Information found on those sites may not be reliable.
2. Organize and develop your writing assignment
Use the following format: Overview, Opinion Statements, Resource Citations.
Use the headings to divide your work into the 3 required areas in your paper.
Overview
Provide an overview of your topic using at least two resources.
Highlight the most important concepts.
The overview should be no more than 500 words. That’s about 7 – 8 average length paragraphs.
Do not place your opinions in the overview. This is an academically oriented portion of the assignment. Your opinions are welcome in the next portion of the paper.Your overview MUST include citation of sources within the text of the document. You are not the originator of the information being presented. The authors must be identified. Failing to provide citations within the content of your overview is considered plagiarism.
Example: (Last name of author, title of resource, page if available)

Given the material you’ve organized and presented in the overview, offer your thoughts on specific aspects of the topic or the topic in general. Use higher order critical or creative thought!

Writing Assignment #2 Technical Description Summary of t.docx
Writing Assignment #2
Technical Description
Summary of the Assignment:
Task: In this assignment, you will write a technical description for a non-specialized
audience. You will explain to a non-technical audience how something works. You will
choose an object or a process with which you are familiar. You will describe this object
or process to an audience that has little or no background of the subject.
Length: 500-800 words, single-spaced
Graphics: You must include at least one graphic.
o graphics borrowed from other sources need to be cited in APA format
o all graphics should be labeled
Sample Technical Descriptions from Previous WRTG 393 Students:
In our class in LEO, if you select Content, you will see a section labelled sample papers for
WRTG 393.
If you select that section, you will see some sample white papers written by previous students in
WRTG 393.
Brief Description and Strategies:
Keep in mind that you are not writing instructions on how to do something. You wrote
instructions for writing assignment #1. For writing assignment #2, if you describe a process, you
may want to describe a process that does not involve direct human action. This approach will
help prevent you from writing another set of instructions for this assignment. If you describe a
process, you will describe an activity or phenomenon that takes place. For example, you could
describe how the heart pumps blood in the human body. But you could not give instructions on
how to take someone’s blood.
Your description will include graphics. The description will use visual detail in both words and
images. You might consider one of the following two strategies:
provide one main graphic and refer to parts in the graphic when writing your technical
description
provide many graphics, integrating each graphic as you write the various parts of the
technical description
Examples of topics for this assignment include the following:
You are an auto mechanic. You could write a description of how spark plugs work to an
audience of non-mechanics. You would not write a set of instructions on how to install
spark plugs. You would describe how spark plugs work.
You work in technical support at a computer store. You could write a description of how
a graphics card works to an audience that is not familiar with computers. You would not
write a set of instructions on how to install a graphics card. You would describe how
graphics cards work.
You are in a branch of the military. You could write a description of how a function of
your unit operates to a non-military audience. You would not write a set of instructions
on how to do something in the military unit. You would describe how a function or
process in the military unit operates.
You might describe a piece of equipment that you included in your set of instructions for
writing assignment #1. For example, assume that.

1. Draw three main conclusions from the article;
2. Describe two important elements of data presented on the charts/graph and briefly interpret each data element;
3. Describe the ways in which this can be defined as a personal trouble or social issue. Be sure to cite specific evidence from the article to support your position (i.e. be sure to include other cultural perspectives in addition to your own);
4. Explore how the social phenomena discussed in the article may or may not contribute to human suffering and or social disorganization (i.e. be sure to include other cultural perspectives in addition to your own);

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
