revise this essay by adding information to body paragraph. every body paragraph needs to follow PIE model. finish essay should be at least two page double space. essay Identity might have a number of meanings. The word "identity" might refer to the race of an individual, their nationality, religion, or even orientation (Vignoles 1). An individual might identify himself or herself with other people when they have something in common. I believe that I have a strong passion for traveling, and thus traveling is regarded to be a part of my identity. In my point of view, traveling is one of those things in life that make people happy. In spite of the fact I have visited only a couple of countries, I believe that someday I can proudly say that I managed to visit all countries of this beautiful world. Therefore, I would like to dwell upon my identity as a traveler by explaining how important traveling is for me. One of the most important parts of my identity as a traveler refers to the fact that I have a constant desire to travel. It is obvious that any person might be considered as a traveler since all of us travel from time to time. Although this might refer to even any weekend trip to a nearby city, I am convinced that identity as a traveler goes much deeper. Having an identity as a traveler might refer to a state of mind. For instance, when I was at school, I always expected a new trip with my family. In other words, I thought about this all the time and even had dreams about my trips. Moreover, I can suggest that identity as a traveler does not only presuppose the process of traveling only but some other stages as well. By other stages, I mean planning the trip and getting prepared. Personally, I like the process of planning and getting prepared for the journey as equally as the very visit to a whole new place. This makes me feel very excited and helps me to focus on meeting new people and experiencing new things. I think that all stages of traveling are important and make you experience various emotions long before the very trip. In addition, my identity as a traveler is expressed by me constantly talking about my favorite places that I have visited so far or would like to visit. As I said, traveling is very important to me and has always been regarded as an integral part of my life. I always notice that light up instantly when somebody starts talking about traveling compared to when they start talking about either football game or some other things. I am convinced that I can talk about traveling for hours. The thing is that I like telling people about my experience as a traveler, though I also like to listen to people's conversations about their favorite trips. To sum up, I would like to indicate that I identify myself as a traveler for a couple of reasons. First of all, I am a person who constantly thinks about trips. I always try to imagine what my next trip would be like and what country I want to visit. Second of all, I am fond.

In “Why I Travel” by Molly Sprayregen the view on traveling is that it is not about simply experiencing another culture, but about experiencing something new about oneself. When traveling it is a time to learn and try new things; it is about grasping the full idea on how little we all really know about the world we live in. Traveling teaches people how each and every person has a lot to offer others, and it helps people appreciate home and differentiate between what is important and what is not. A benefit would be on how Molly states how traveling helps you form a gut instinct on who you can trust, even if it was learned after trusting the wrong people along the way which was a cost to traveling. Another important point Molly made was on how anything that is worth doing in life tends to be accompanied by pain, whether it is physical or emotional. On another note, she also stated how it is from that pain, that we get a sense of joy.
Then, in the second article about Deep Travel, it is on an interview with Tony Hiss. He states how Deep Travel is a state of mind in which you channel the feeling you get from traveling and use it to broaden our lives. It is a talent in which we are all born with and can easily access. From what I read, Tony is leaning more towards the fact that people do not need to travel to get a feeling of relaxation and so on. He states that reading can evoke a similar state of mind. From what he wrote the benefit would be that there would be no need to really travel anywhere, but a cost would be that you would not be experiencing anything new. Overall, traveling is an exhilarating thing to do, but it can easily be done from home.

Measuring Effectiveness
in Direct Social Work Practice
Bradford W. Sheafor*
Abstract. In many parts of the world social workers are increasingly expected to
provide documentation of the effectiveness of their services. One useful approach to
such documentation is to measure the amount of change clients experience relative to
the issues in their lives being addressed with the social worker. This is one expression
of the popular demand for evidence-based practice: evidence-based evaluation. While
it is not possible to prove that a social worker�s intervention caused the change,
empirical documentation of change can be shown to be associated with the intervention
and the work of the social worker. This trend is somewhat controversial in social work
and, indeed, there are advantages and disadvantages to efforts to quantify client
change. In this article a process is described for conducting an evidence-based evalu-
ation of client change when working in a direct service capacity, i.e., face-to-face
intervention with individuals, families, and groups. In addition to the usual process
followed in assessing and intervening to help change the client situation, additional
steps in the process are to: 1) generate researchable questions that will inform the
social worker�s actions with this client (formative research) or provide summary infor-
mation about the practice outcomes (summative research) to inform future practice
activities; 2) quantitatively measure change in the important variables related to the
issue(s) being addressed; 3) organize the resulting data in a format that helps to
interpret the client outcomes.
Keywords: direct practice evaluation, evidence-based practice, measurement, single-
-subject designs, empirical practice evaluation
Introduction
As social work has evolved, at least in industrialized nations, simply asserting that we are
doing good when serving our clients is increasingly viewed with suspicion. When called upon
to prove that our interventions make a difference for clients, social workers are often
hard-pressed to uphold their claims of success-or defend against others� claims of our failures.
How can we accurately determine if we are truly helping our clients? One approach is
to ask the opinions of the clients who clearly have an important perspective on our work.
However, there are serious limitations to client assessments of the social worker�s perfor-
mance. Clients may not have an accurate basis of comparison to other service providers,

may base their judgments or disliking the social worker as opposed to assessing his or her
competence in addressing the issues, and the client�s assessment may be subject to manipu-

Rewriting the rules for the digital age
PREFACE
WELCOME to Deloitte’s fifth annual Global Human Capital Trends report and survey. This year’s report takes stock of the challenges ahead for business and HR leaders in a dramatically changing digital, economic, demographic, and social landscape. In an age of disruption, business and HR
leaders are being pressed to rewrite the rules for how they organize, recruit, develop, manage, and engage the
21st-century workforce.
This workforce is changing. It’s more digital, more global, diverse, automation-savvy, and social media-
proficient. At the same time, business expectations, needs, and demands are evolving faster than ever before.
While some view this as a challenge, we see it as an opportunity. An opportunity to reimagine HR, talent, and
organizational practices. An opportunity to create platforms, processes, and tools that will continue to evolve
and sustain their value over time. An opportunity to take the lead in what will likely be among the most signifi-
cant changes to the workforce that we have seen.
Hence, our call for new rules for HR in the digital age.
The 2017 report began last summer with us reaching out to hundreds of organizations, academics, and practi-
tioners around the world. This year, it includes a survey of more than 10,000 HR and business leaders across
140 countries. The report reveals how leaders are turning to new organizational models that highlight the
networked nature of today’s world of work; innovation-based HR platforms; learning and career programs
driven by social and cognitive technologies; and employee experience strategies that put the workforce at the
center. The report closes with a discussion of the future of work amid the changes being driven by advances in
automation and an expanded definition of the workforce.
We are pleased to present this year’s Global Human Capital Trends report and survey and look forward to
your comments. 2017 is positioned to be a year of change as we all manage new levels of transformation and
disruption. The only question now is: Are you ready?

Revising Organizational CultureRecently it was announced tha.docx
Revising Organizational Culture
Recently it was announced that two major hospital systems would be merging their services in to one entity. Both are comprised of multiple hospital units and specialty clinics. While on the surface, this has been touted as an economical move with substantial savings to both parties and the potential to solidify their market share, there are as yet many barriers to overcome.
For instance, one system has its roots as a Catholic entity, while the other began with its origins as a Jewish facility.
The medical staff is divided on whether the merger is good for patients and their practices. Both groups of employees are understandably unsettled as it is uncertain who of the senior administrative staff will remain. The organizational culture of both institutions is also of major concern.
Given these circumstances, what form or model(s) of leadership would you bring to bear? Describe in detail the steps you would take to redirect the mission and vision of this new emerging entity.

Risk Factors for Child Maltreatment Types of Maltr.docx
Risk Factors for Child
Maltreatment
Types of Maltreatment
Physical abuse – nonaccidental injury
inflicted by a caregiver
Sexual abuse – the use of a child for the
sexual gratification of an adult
Psychological maltreatment
◦ Includes emotional abuse and emotional neglect
Neglect – act of omission
◦ Physical neglect
◦ Medical neglect
◦ Educational neglect
Types of Factors
Potentiating: increase risk for maltreatment
Compensatory: buffers, decreases risk
------------------------------------------------------
Transient – temporary
◦ Temporary unemployment, loss of a loved one
Enduring – ongoing; chronic
◦ Chronic unemployment; untreated mental health
issues

Applied to each level of analysis
http://faculty.weber.edu/tlday/1500/systems.jpg
Levels of Analysis of Each Instance of
Maltreatment
Macrosystemic: broad cultural values and beliefs
in the larger society
Exosystemic: social structures that form the
immediate context in which families and
individuals function (e.g., neighborhood, school)
Microsystemic: environmental setting that
contains the developing person (e.g., family,
classroom)
Ontogenetic: factors within the child
Macrosystemic Issues
Acceptability of violence

Sexualization of children
Individualism
◦ Focus on nuclear family both fully responsible for and
controlling of children
◦ Geographical isolation of families with children
Values/definitions of work
Exosystemic Issue:
Poverty
Poverty as a stressor: inadequate resources,
feelings of disempowerment (becomes a
microsystemic issue)
Poverty places individuals in less safe
environments, requiring more parental effort to
protect
Poverty places individuals in resource scarce
environments
Increasingly poor urban areas are places to which
people are not committed - less sense of
community
Microsystemic Issues
History of abuse in parents
Mental illness in parents
Substance abuse in parents
Domestic violence
Problematic parenting practices
Lack of social support
Mental Health Issues in Parents
Mental illness impacts childrearing
Mental health issues increase risk of

most common mental health problem
◦ Core component of an individual’s way of
perceiving the world
◦ Often go unrecognized as mental illness
among child welfare workers
History of Child Abuse in Parents
Child abuse in parents may result in
mental health issues (depression, PTSD)
Attachment impairment
Lack of modeling of appropriate parenting
behaviors
Substance Abuse
Direct physical effects on fetus
◦ Critical issue: should prenatal maternal

Risk and Resistance Risk Acceptance and Protesting Beha.docx
Risk and Resistance: Risk Acceptance and Protesting Behavior in Democratic and
Non-Democratic Countries
Abstract
Kam’s (2012) theoretical framework argues that risk-accepting individuals participate in politics
because they enjoy exciting and novel activities. Given that nondemocracies are more repressive
than democracies, how might individuals’ acceptance of risk and system of government influence
the decision to protest? Using data from the 2005-2014 World Values Survey, I find that highly risk-
accepting individuals in democratic countries are much more likely to report a willingness to
participate in future political boycotts than their less risk-accepting counterparts. Substantively, the
results indicate that highly risk-accepting individuals are 52% and 41% more likely to boycott in
median democratic countries compared to other members of society depending on whether one
uses Freedom House or Polity IV scores. Further, I find no evidence that risk acceptance influences
demonstrating or petitioning. Low risk-accepting individuals are more hesitant in their willingness to
risk life and limb by challenging the status quo in democratic and non-democratic countries.

1 Introduction
Why are some citizens willing to protest their government while others passively turn a blind eye
and abstain? Scholars offer three schools of thought regarding individual protest behavior. The first,
disaffected radicalism, argues that protesters are unsatisfied with or alienated from traditional
representative channels (Gurr 1970). Second, strategic resource scholars suggest that protests are a
function of civic expression rather than disaffection with the political process (Inglehart 1977; 1997).
A third school argues the decision to protest is dependent upon the context of the political
environment rather than any generalizable motivation.
Scholars dedicate a plethora of resources to better understand why individuals participate in
politics generally, and protests specifically, because political participation increases democratic
satisfaction (Anderson et al. 2005; Blais & Gélineau 2007) and political equality (Rosenstone &
Hansen 1993). Further, protests are often successful, lead to political change, and allow citizens to
express their grievances and policy preferences to political elites (Celestino & Gleditsch 2013;
Hooghe & Marien 2014; Stephan & Chenoweth 2008). By considering additional explanations of
protest behavior, scholars can better understand how and why some governments are more
responsive to citizen preferences than others.
Psychology scholars offer valuable insight into this debate by considering individuals’ risk
acceptance, defined as the extent to which individuals seek out risky behaviors and uncertain
outcomes (Ehrlich & Maestas 2010; Weber, Blais, & Betz 2002). Risk-accepting individuals are
generally comfortable with uncertainty (Ehrlich & Maestas 2010; Le.

Risk and Threat Assessment Report
The rise of innovation and technological advancement has affected the aspects of technology in different ways. Improvement of software and operating systems gives hackers a reason to strive and develop more complex forms of overweighing security measures on those applications. Traditional application security best practices and secure coding are often recommended in protecting different applications against runtime attacks.
Runtime application self-protection is an emerging application in the protection of software applications, data, and databases. The increase in attacks has triggered the development of security technology that is linked or build into an application runtime environment. Besides, database deployment is safeguarded by run time application self-protection that can control the execution of applications, detecting, and preventing real-time attacks. The threats and risks associated with operating systems, networks, and software systems are significant concerns to users.
The internet has changed how people do their businesses. With the growth of e-commerce and other online transactions, there has been a subsequent increase in internet risk threats that are commonly occasioned by hacking and malware attacks. There are different types of e-commerce threats and might be accidental, deliberately done by perpetrators, or occur due to human error. The most prevalent threats are money theft, unprotected services, credit card fraud, hacking, data misuse, and phishing attacks. Heats associated with online transactions can be prevented or reduced by keeping the credit cards safe. Consumers/customers should be advised to avoid carrying their credit cards in their wallets since they increase the chances of misplacement. Each buyer should be cautious when using their you’re their online credit information.
The advancement in technology has seen an increase in online transactions. The practice of doing business transactions via the internet is called e-commerce. Their growth has subsequently lead to the rise in internet risk threats that are commonly occasioned by hacking and malware attacks. E-commerce is the activity of conducting transactions via the internet. Internet transactions can be drawn on various technologies, including internet marketing, electronic data exchanges, automated data collection systems, electronic fund transfer, and mobile commerce.
Online transaction threats occur by using the internet for unfair means with the aim of fraud, security breach, and stealing. The use of electronic payment systems has a substantial risk of fraud. It uses the identity of a customer to authorize a payment like security questions and passwords. If someone accesses a customer's password, he will gain access to his accounts and.

Every new technology brings its own nightmare scenarios. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are no exceptions. Indeed, the word “robot” was coined for a 1920 play that dramatized just such a doomsday for humanity.
Recently, an open letter about the future of AI, signed by a number of high-profile scientists and entrepreneurs, spurred a new round of harrowing headlines like “Top Scientists Have an Ominous Warning about Artificial Intelligence,” and “Artificial Intelligence Experts Sign Open Letter to Protect Mankind from Machines.” The implication is that the machines will one
day displace humanity.
Let’s get one thing straight: a world in which humans are enslaved or destroyed by superintelligent machines of our own creation is purely science fiction. Like every other technology, AI has risks and benefits, but we cannot let fear dominate the conversation or guide AI research. Nevertheless, the idea of dramatically changing the AI research agenda to focus on AI “safety” is the primary message of a group calling itself the Future of Life Institute (FLI). FLI includes a handful of deep thinkers and public figures such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and worries about the day in which humanity is steamrolled by powerful programs run a muck.
As eloquently described in the book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by FLI advisory board member and Oxford-based philosopher Nick Bostrom, the plot unfolds in three parts. In the first part—roughly where we are now—computational power and intelligent software develops at an increasing pace through the toil of scientists and engineers. Next, a breakthrough is made: programs are created that possess intelligence on par with humans. These programs, running on increasingly fast computers, improve themselves extremely rapidly, resulting in a runaway “intelligence explosion.” In the third and final act, a singular super-intelligence takes hold—outsmarting, outmaneuvering, and ultimately outcompeting the entirety of humanity and perhaps life itself. End scene.
Let’s take a closer look at this apocalyptic storyline. Of the three parts, the first is indeed happening now and Bostrom provides cogent and illuminating glimpses into current and near-future technology. The third part is a philosophical romp exploring the consequences of supersmart machines. It’s that second part—the intelligence explosion—that demonstrably violates what we know of computer science and natural intelligence.
Runaway Intelligence?
The notion of the intelligence explosion arises from Moore’s Law, the observation that the speed of computers has been increasing exponentially since the 1950s. Project this trend forward and we’ll see computers with the computational power of the entire human race within the next few decades. It’s a leap to go from this idea to unchecked growth of machine intelligence, however.
First, ingenuity is not the sole bottleneck to developing faster com.
Risk can be looked at as the effect of uncertainty on organizati.docx
Risk can be looked at as the effect of uncertainty on organizational objectives. If that is the case how can an organization create value from uncertainty? What tools can an organization use or what does an organization have to have in order to achieve any kind of value in the face of uncertainty? Does the organization have to be accountability to anyone, if so who? Are there any internal/external forces involved?
Answer the above questions in the context of the JAA Inc. case study. Put yourself in their shoes.

Dealing with Risk, Asymmetric Information, and Incentives
INTRODUCTION
Choice of a company
Continue research on Southwest Airlines, or
Select another company, or
Select the company you work for
Size of paper
Six to eight (6–8) pages
QUESTION 1
Evaluate a company’s recent (within the last year) actions dealing with risk and uncertainty. (10 %)
Difference between risk and uncertainty
Risk is how we characterize uncertainty about values that vary.
Risk is modeled using random variables multiplied by their probabilities.
Uncertainty refers to the distribution of the random variables.
Which probabilities should be assigned to the various values the random variables can take?
QUESTION 1
Evaluate a company’s recent (within the last year) actions dealing with risk and uncertainty. (10 %)
When you’re uncertain about the costs or benefits of a decision, replace numbers with random variables and compute expected costs and benefits.
Analyze common types of uncertainty and risk your company faces. For example:
Uncertainty in pricing
Uncertainty in dealing with suppliers and distributers
…
QUESTION 2
Offer advice for improving risk management. (15 %)
By modeling uncertainty, you can:
Learn to make better decisions
Identify the source(s) of risk in a decisions
Compute the value of collecting more information.
Difference-in-difference estimators are a good way to gather information about the benefits and costs of a decision.
The first difference is before versus after the decision or event.
The second difference is the difference between a control and an experimental group.
If you are facing a decision in which one of your alternatives would work well in one state of the world, and you are uncertain about which state of the world you are in, think about how to minimize expected error costs.

Right from the start, there have been nations, and nations have gove.docx
Right from the start, there have been nations, and nations have governments. A government is usually elected by the people, and at different times, the elects need help to address the nation. This is what prompts politicians to say, ‘
Write me a speech,’
which will eventually be used to deliver a message to a large group of people. When a speech is being delivered, there are several factors that are considered. To write
and deliver a message to the people is no easy job.
The very first is the outfit and dressing of the speaker. The second is the reputation and integrity of the speaker addressing the people. The third is the manner in which the speech is structured and the words used in conveying the message. Other things that need to be concentrated on by the speaker during a speech include gesticulation and aural channels.
Speeches have been known to influence the public. A simple wrong sentence can have a negative effect on the citizens of a country and can spark reactions, riots and even mass protests. Speeches have been known to break down diplomacy between countries and start wars. Since the importance of a speech cannot be emphasized enough, it practically means a speech needs to be analyzed and reviewed with utmost care.
Why Politicians Need to Order Speeches
Political figures usually have a whole lot to do when they’re in power. For instance, presidents of countries have to manage the implementation of the law by installing and taking off different officers. They also have to append their signatures on laws and bills that need to be passed into the constitution. A president’s main obligation is to ensure the smooth running and stability of the government and to make sure all the laws in the constitution are adhered to.
The president also has to supervise the affairs pertaining to foreign policy and make treaties that favor the nation in terms of trade and commerce, appoint ambassadors to other countries and also monitor the affairs of policies affecting American businesses, the economy and its citizens. A cabinet of the president’s choice is appointed to oversee various key sectors of government operations.
Because of these numerous tasks mentioned above that have to be done by presidents, most of them hardly have any time to handle anything else. This also includes not being able to make the time for carefully proofreading the content and structure of the numerous speeches they have to give to the public. Keeping in mind the weighty effects of a speech, most presidents have to hire a writer or writers to handle that aspect for them.
Most people miss the point of political figures ordering speeches. Several individuals have the idea that the ghostwriter totally controls everything about the speech giving it the semblance of speechwriters actually controlling the emotions of the public. They forget that the content and structure make up half of the effect of the speech and the charisma, appearance and non-verbal approach of th.

RIM Communication Plan
MGT-550
Andrea Taylor
Southern New Hampshire University
This presentation is about RIM, a wireless solutions and mobile device company falling under scrutiny for a toxic organizational culture. After an open letter was published on the tech website BGR, RIM’s negative workplace culture was exposed including oppressed communications at all levels. The CEOs found themselves at the center of the scrutiny and this presentation is meant to demonstrate effective strategies for RIM to apply to this severe situation that could dismantle RIM within their industry and public relations.
Goals
Rebuild internal trust and civility at RIM.
Create a new open communication plan that reinstates the mission and vision of the organizational culture at RIM.
Dismantle the previous toxic attributes to the organizational culture.
Rebuild the external trust at RIM within the tech industry and with customers.
Create platforms for open communication to allow for more innovation and bring RIM back into the competition in the tech industry.
As RIM was already facing internal issues “from a dwindling market share, failed product attempts, and a sinking stock price”(Bigus, 2012, p. 6). An RIM senior executive made the decision to make the letter public due to the “culture at RIM does not allow us to speak openly without having to worry about the career-limiting effects”(Bigus, 2012, p. 5). At RIM it is more critical than ever to focus on employee engagement as the organization should be “speaking to the employee as the consumer”(Breman, 2017). Best efforts to ensure that stakeholder contributions, efforts, and overall happiness are meeting business goals and while completing their mission is a major focal point for Balsillie and Lazaridis to achieve through effective communication at all levels with all employees. To better the relationship management at RIM, more frequent face to face interaction must occur as well as more open communication throughout the workplace and through various channels such as email, surveys, anonymous feedback, and meetings to foster the relationship management on a professional and personal matter. To eliminate the limitations in relation to product development, more openness toward idea exchanges to foster the innovation and creation that RIM desperately needs to rebuild their brand. To dissolve the unenjoyable workplace issue, maintaining civility as professionals must occur and all employees must be held accountable for their performances, contributing to a positive workplace culture, and professionalism meanwhile utilizing filtering to aid responses that exhibit empathy, understanding, and informational exchanges.
Target Audience
Employees at all levels will be the main focus of internal communication.
Industry critics, publication sights/media, as well as customers will be the main focus of external communications.
The entire organization at RIM will be the focal, target audience, considering the .

Riku is a 19-year-old college student. One morning, after a long night of studying, Riku woke up and made himself a hot cup of coffee and toast. Much to his surprise, when he brought the cup to his mouth to drink, the coffee spilt onto the table. Riku went to the bathroom mirror and noticed the left side of his face seemed to droop. He quickly got dressed and ran to the medical clinic on the college campus. As he ran, his left eye began to feel scratchy and dry, but he could not blink in response. The physician at the clinic listened to Riku’s story and then did a careful cranial nerve examination. She concluded that Riku had Bell palsy, an inflammatory condition of the facial nerve most likely caused by a virus.

Right to Portland Parks and Recreation Community CentersI be.docx
Right to Portland Parks and Recreation Community Centers
I believe that everyone has the right to access recreational community centers and the free activities that come with them. Portland Parks and Recreation (PP&R) is funded through taxes by the citizens of Portland. One of the community centers is Mt. Scott Community Center, located in southeast Portland. This center has been an important part of my life since I was a young child. I’ve been going to Mt. Scott Community Center for my whole life, and my perception of it has changed over time. When I was younger there was only two reasons for going to the community center; either I was playing basketball at an open gym or in one of the little leagues, or I was swimming at the in pool. I now work at Mt. Scott as a lifeguard. Now that I am an adult and employed by the center, I see how important the programs are to youth. I was one of the individuals whose beliefs were shaped by the equitable access to interesting and fun recreational programs. I know firsthand how crucial it is for youth to be involved in active and positive activities. Being involved with this center as an adult has helped to shape my belief in the importance of the parks programs for all.
In 2012, Portland Parks & Recreation developed a strategic plan that states that “Public parks and recreation contribute endless benefits to the community. The outcomes are “more than fun and games,” playing a substantial role in developing healthy lives and building community, preventing crime and providing positive alternatives for youth.” However, this report also states that not all Portlanders have equal access to recreation facilities and the opportunities they offer.
The data showed that youth in communities of color and the elderly do not have enough facilities near them and that it is a hardship to travel to recreation centers that were further away. In Portland, many of the black families moved from NE Portland to outer SE Portland. This gentrification, the systematic process of upgrading a neighborhood so that the existing residents can’t afford to live there, caused an influx of communities of color to relocate to southeast where the cost of housing was cheaper. The 2016 Performance Report from PP&R reveals that the East Portland Community Center, which serves this neighborhood, is inadequate both in size and services to meet the needs of the youth and elderly that live in the area.
Because I believe that every person has the right to participate in recreation programs in Portland, It is important to the health of our city that every individual have the support needed to access a recreational facility. Portland Parks and Recreation refers to this effort as “closing the play gap”. To close this gap, PPR needs to improve their facilities, do outreach in a variety of places such as schools and neighborhood associations and to partner with other agencies like Tri-Met for transportation to the recreation centers.

Rilke Letters Assignment (FINAL ESSAY) Core 110—Spring 2019 .docx
Rilke Letters Assignment (FINAL ESSAY) Core 110—Spring 2019
Read the following directions carefully.
Instead of a final exam, you will write an essay (or letters) related to
the assigned reading of Letters to a Young Poet.
The approximate length is 3-4 pages (MLA format).
The final draft is due at the scheduled time for your class’s final exam
period (see Moodle for details and submission link). We WILL NOT
meet for a final exam.
Choose ONE of the following options for your assignment. Your
writing will be graded in accordance with the standards provided in
your course syllabus, including content, grammar, and style. Use
your knowledge of the writing process we employed throughout the
course.
You must brainstorm, draft, revise, edit, and proofread. We will not
complete this process during class. You are responsible for working
through the writing process.
Format your essay using standard MLA, as we have done all
semester: double-spaced lines, 1-inch margins, 12 pt font, identifying
information (your name, course, etc).
When citing text, refer to the author and page # in MLA format. Use
only the primary source (Rilke's Letters) and do not use research
sources. Since you will only use primary sources, no reference list is
needed.
YOU MAY NOT USE SOURCES/OUTSIDE RESEARCH. Non-
compliance with this constitutes cheating and will result in failure.
General directions and tips:
Focus on analysis.
Use textual support from the Letters text to SHOW—illustrate ideas
and analyze the text rather than just reporting or telling (skills you
used in each of your course essays).
Assume your reader is already familiar with Letters to a Young Poet.
In other words, DO NOT provide a plot summary.
Center your writing on an original, meaningful thesis sentence.
Structure your writing with an interesting introduction, a substantial
body with paragraphing, and a meaningful conclusion.
When referring to the action of the text, use the literary present tense,
such as: Rilke advises the young poet to. . . .; When the poet asks
Rilke's advice about his poetry, Rilke responds. . . .
Options: Choose ONE—
1. Rilke discusses many topics in response to the young poet, Kappus, in his
letters. Choose two of Rilke's prominent topics or themes, explaining Rilke's
point of view on each of the two themes AND analyzing how and why he
interconnects the themes. Center your essay around a clear, meaningful,
worthwhile thesis sentence.
2. Imagine that Rilke is alive and well (perhaps through time travel). He will
be visiting King's College and speaking to students. You are a student
advisor for Rilke's visit, and it is your role to explain to Rilke some of the
primary concerns of your classmates so he may prepare a speech directed
toward advising them in meaningful ways. Given the insights you will help
Rilke gain, he will prepare and deliver a speech to students. .

We all get up again.The historical context of this rhyme dates back to the Great Plague of London in the late 1600s. During this time it is said that victims of the plague would be sealed in their houses. These houses would be identified by a red cross painted on the door and the phrase “God have mercy.” None of the victims would be allowed to leave the home and no one was allowed to enter. Unfortunately, this did not bode well for the other family members confined with the victim, who ended up catching the disease as well. According to Linda Alchin, “the death rate was over 16% and the plague was only halted by the Great Fire of London in 1666 that killed the rats that carried the disease which was transmitted via water sources” (41).
In this rhyme the phrase ring around the rosy is said to refer to the plague symptom of a rosy red rash in the shape of a ring on the skin. In addition, it was believed by many that the disease was transmitted by bad smells. To ward off the risk of catching the disease, some folks would carry pockets or pouches filled with sweet-smelling herbs, such as posies. It is also thought that the phrase ashes, ashes was a reference to the cremation of all the dead bodies. In the English version, the phrase A-tishoo! A-tishoo! seems to be referencing the violent sneezing that was another symptom of the disease (Alchin 41).

7) Differentiate among the three international marketing concepts. International marketing combines the marketing mix of plan, price, promotion and how to distribute the brand’s product or service to a much larger scale. Before company’s can even consider to penetrate into international markets, they first have to see if their internal and external operations are able to accomplish multiple marketing concepts. The first concept for a brand to enter the international market faster would be if the company had successful technology and a variety of resources that could easily aid distribution. The second would be for small and large home markets to that have successful internal production to consider manufacturing and shipping outside of their regular market. The last concept would be for a company’s running main manager to have close connections with those from other countries, so that way there is an easy international communication that can help the company for penetrating the market. (Cateora, Graham, Gilly & Money, 2020)
When penetrating the international market, it is important to have controllable product, price, promotion and research available for distributing. However, the domestic environment and foreign environment will be uncontrollable. This is when the company will have to modify the firm’s original characteristics to match the culture’s political forces, geography, competition, climate and economic climate. All of this goes into how the brand’s product and service will ultimately be viewed by the international market and ignoring these steps can result in failed marketing efforts. (Cateora, Graham, Gilly & Money, 2020)
9) Discuss the three factors necessary to achieve global awareness?
In today’s marketplace, it is crucial for businesses and brands to understand what it means to be globally aware, especially when marketing to other cultures to achieve global awareness. The first factor to achieve global awareness, is for a company to incorporate what it means to be globally aware. To be globally aware consists of being able to respect and tolerate one’s differences in their culture, compared to one’s own. It is important to respect these differences, otherwise there won’t be a clear way to communicate these differences in a precise way.
The second factor is to understand the history, culture and stay up-to-date on current news and politics. This all plays a role in how a company can begin to achieve global awareness for their brand because it keeps marketing messages relevant the ever-changing culture.
The last factor, is to create long-term business relationships with those of other cultures. A variety of people who come from different backgrounds and cultures should be made into a stable group of managers and directors. It is important to have these people ahead of marketing and creating new campaigns when entering a new global market. This diversity is important because they are a key asse.

Measuring Effectiveness
in Direct Social Work Practice
Bradford W. Sheafor*
Abstract. In many parts of the world social workers are increasingly expected to
provide documentation of the effectiveness of their services. One useful approach to
such documentation is to measure the amount of change clients experience relative to
the issues in their lives being addressed with the social worker. This is one expression
of the popular demand for evidence-based practice: evidence-based evaluation. While
it is not possible to prove that a social worker�s intervention caused the change,
empirical documentation of change can be shown to be associated with the intervention
and the work of the social worker. This trend is somewhat controversial in social work
and, indeed, there are advantages and disadvantages to efforts to quantify client
change. In this article a process is described for conducting an evidence-based evalu-
ation of client change when working in a direct service capacity, i.e., face-to-face
intervention with individuals, families, and groups. In addition to the usual process
followed in assessing and intervening to help change the client situation, additional
steps in the process are to: 1) generate researchable questions that will inform the
social worker�s actions with this client (formative research) or provide summary infor-
mation about the practice outcomes (summative research) to inform future practice
activities; 2) quantitatively measure change in the important variables related to the
issue(s) being addressed; 3) organize the resulting data in a format that helps to
interpret the client outcomes.
Keywords: direct practice evaluation, evidence-based practice, measurement, single-
-subject designs, empirical practice evaluation
Introduction
As social work has evolved, at least in industrialized nations, simply asserting that we are
doing good when serving our clients is increasingly viewed with suspicion. When called upon
to prove that our interventions make a difference for clients, social workers are often
hard-pressed to uphold their claims of success-or defend against others� claims of our failures.
How can we accurately determine if we are truly helping our clients? One approach is
to ask the opinions of the clients who clearly have an important perspective on our work.
However, there are serious limitations to client assessments of the social worker�s perfor-
mance. Clients may not have an accurate basis of comparison to other service providers,

Rewriting the rules for the digital age
PREFACE
WELCOME to Deloitte’s fifth annual Global Human Capital Trends report and survey. This year’s report takes stock of the challenges ahead for business and HR leaders in a dramatically changing digital, economic, demographic, and social landscape. In an age of disruption, business and HR
leaders are being pressed to rewrite the rules for how they organize, recruit, develop, manage, and engage the
21st-century workforce.
This workforce is changing. It’s more digital, more global, diverse, automation-savvy, and social media-
proficient. At the same time, business expectations, needs, and demands are evolving faster than ever before.
While some view this as a challenge, we see it as an opportunity. An opportunity to reimagine HR, talent, and
organizational practices. An opportunity to create platforms, processes, and tools that will continue to evolve
and sustain their value over time. An opportunity to take the lead in what will likely be among the most signifi-
cant changes to the workforce that we have seen.
Hence, our call for new rules for HR in the digital age.
The 2017 report began last summer with us reaching out to hundreds of organizations, academics, and practi-
tioners around the world. This year, it includes a survey of more than 10,000 HR and business leaders across
140 countries. The report reveals how leaders are turning to new organizational models that highlight the
networked nature of today’s world of work; innovation-based HR platforms; learning and career programs
driven by social and cognitive technologies; and employee experience strategies that put the workforce at the
center. The report closes with a discussion of the future of work amid the changes being driven by advances in
automation and an expanded definition of the workforce.
We are pleased to present this year’s Global Human Capital Trends report and survey and look forward to
your comments. 2017 is positioned to be a year of change as we all manage new levels of transformation and
disruption. The only question now is: Are you ready?

Revising Organizational Culture
Recently it was announced that two major hospital systems would be merging their services in to one entity. Both are comprised of multiple hospital units and specialty clinics. While on the surface, this has been touted as an economical move with substantial savings to both parties and the potential to solidify their market share, there are as yet many barriers to overcome.
For instance, one system has its roots as a Catholic entity, while the other began with its origins as a Jewish facility.
The medical staff is divided on whether the merger is good for patients and their practices. Both groups of employees are understandably unsettled as it is uncertain who of the senior administrative staff will remain. The organizational culture of both institutions is also of major concern.
Given these circumstances, what form or model(s) of leadership would you bring to bear? Describe in detail the steps you would take to redirect the mission and vision of this new emerging entity.

Levels of Analysis of Each Instance of
Maltreatment
Macrosystemic: broad cultural values and beliefs
in the larger society
Exosystemic: social structures that form the
immediate context in which families and
individuals function (e.g., neighborhood, school)
Microsystemic: environmental setting that
contains the developing person (e.g., family,
classroom)
Ontogenetic: factors within the child
Macrosystemic Issues
Acceptability of violence
◦ Levels of violent crime, presence of weapons

◦ Acceptance of corporal punishment
Sexualization of children
Individualism
◦ Focus on nuclear family both fully responsible for and
controlling of children

Risk and Resistance Risk Acceptance and Protesting Beha.docx
Risk and Resistance: Risk Acceptance and Protesting Behavior in Democratic and
Non-Democratic Countries
Abstract
Kam’s (2012) theoretical framework argues that risk-accepting individuals participate in politics
because they enjoy exciting and novel activities. Given that nondemocracies are more repressive
than democracies, how might individuals’ acceptance of risk and system of government influence
the decision to protest? Using data from the 2005-2014 World Values Survey, I find that highly risk-
accepting individuals in democratic countries are much more likely to report a willingness to
participate in future political boycotts than their less risk-accepting counterparts. Substantively, the
results indicate that highly risk-accepting individuals are 52% and 41% more likely to boycott in
median democratic countries compared to other members of society depending on whether one
uses Freedom House or Polity IV scores. Further, I find no evidence that risk acceptance influences
demonstrating or petitioning. Low risk-accepting individuals are more hesitant in their willingness to
risk life and limb by challenging the status quo in democratic and non-democratic countries.

1 Introduction
Why are some citizens willing to protest their government while others passively turn a blind eye
and abstain? Scholars offer three schools of thought regarding individual protest behavior. The first,
disaffected radicalism, argues that protesters are unsatisfied with or alienated from traditional
representative channels (Gurr 1970). Second, strategic resource scholars suggest that protests are a
function of civic expression rather than disaffection with the political process (Inglehart 1977; 1997).
A third school argues the decision to protest is dependent upon the context of the political
environment rather than any generalizable motivation.
Scholars dedicate a plethora of resources to better understand why individuals participate in
politics generally, and protests specifically, because political participation increases democratic
satisfaction (Anderson et al. 2005; Blais & Gélineau 2007) and political equality (Rosenstone &
Hansen 1993). Further, protests are often successful, lead to political change, and allow citizens to
express their grievances and policy preferences to political elites (Celestino & Gleditsch 2013;
Hooghe & Marien 2014; Stephan & Chenoweth 2008). By considering additional explanations of
protest behavior, scholars can better understand how and why some governments are more
responsive to citizen preferences than others.
Psychology scholars offer valuable insight into this debate by considering individuals’ risk
acceptance, defined as the extent to which individuals seek out risky behaviors and uncertain
outcomes (Ehrlich & Maestas 2010; Weber, Blais, & Betz 2002). Risk-accepting individuals are
generally comfortable with uncertainty (Ehrlich & Maestas 2010; Le.

Risk and Threat Assessment Report
The rise of innovation and technological advancement has affected the aspects of technology in different ways. Improvement of software and operating systems gives hackers a reason to strive and develop more complex forms of overweighing security measures on those applications. Traditional application security best practices and secure coding are often recommended in protecting different applications against runtime attacks.
Runtime application self-protection is an emerging application in the protection of software applications, data, and databases. The increase in attacks has triggered the development of security technology that is linked or build into an application runtime environment. Besides, database deployment is safeguarded by run time application self-protection that can control the execution of applications, detecting, and preventing real-time attacks. The threats and risks associated with operating systems, networks, and software systems are significant concerns to users.
The internet has changed how people do their businesses. With the growth of e-commerce and other online transactions, there has been a subsequent increase in internet risk threats that are commonly occasioned by hacking and malware attacks. There are different types of e-commerce threats and might be accidental, deliberately done by perpetrators, or occur due to human error. The most prevalent threats are money theft, unprotected services, credit card fraud, hacking, data misuse, and phishing attacks. Heats associated with online transactions can be prevented or reduced by keeping the credit cards safe. Consumers/customers should be advised to avoid carrying their credit cards in their wallets since they increase the chances of misplacement. Each buyer should be cautious when using their you’re their online credit information.
The advancement in technology has seen an increase in online transactions. The practice of doing business transactions via the internet is called e-commerce. Their growth has subsequently lead to the rise in internet risk threats that are commonly occasioned by hacking and malware attacks. E-commerce is the activity of conducting transactions via the internet. Internet transactions can be drawn on various technologies, including internet marketing, electronic data exchanges, automated data collection systems, electronic fund transfer, and mobile commerce.
Online transaction threats occur by using the internet for unfair means with the aim of fraud, security breach, and stealing. The use of electronic payment systems has a substantial risk of fraud. It uses the identity of a customer to authorize a payment like security questions and passwords. If someone accesses a customer's password, he will gain access to his accounts and.
Rise of the Machines” Is Not a Likely FutureEvery new technolog.docx
“Rise of the Machines” Is Not a Likely Future
Every new technology brings its own nightmare scenarios. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are no exceptions. Indeed, the word “robot” was coined for a 1920 play that dramatized just such a doomsday for humanity.
Recently, an open letter about the future of AI, signed by a number of high-profile scientists and entrepreneurs, spurred a new round of harrowing headlines like “Top Scientists Have an Ominous Warning about Artificial Intelligence,” and “Artificial Intelligence Experts Sign Open Letter to Protect Mankind from Machines.” The implication is that the machines will one
day displace humanity.
Let’s get one thing straight: a world in which humans are enslaved or destroyed by superintelligent machines of our own creation is purely science fiction. Like every other technology, AI has risks and benefits, but we cannot let fear dominate the conversation or guide AI research. Nevertheless, the idea of dramatically changing the AI research agenda to focus on AI “safety” is the primary message of a group calling itself the Future of Life Institute (FLI). FLI includes a handful of deep thinkers and public figures such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and worries about the day in which humanity is steamrolled by powerful programs run a muck.
As eloquently described in the book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by FLI advisory board member and Oxford-based philosopher Nick Bostrom, the plot unfolds in three parts. In the first part—roughly where we are now—computational power and intelligent software develops at an increasing pace through the toil of scientists and engineers. Next, a breakthrough is made: programs are created that possess intelligence on par with humans. These programs, running on increasingly fast computers, improve themselves extremely rapidly, resulting in a runaway “intelligence explosion.” In the third and final act, a singular super-intelligence takes hold—outsmarting, outmaneuvering, and ultimately outcompeting the entirety of humanity and perhaps life itself. End scene.
Let’s take a closer look at this apocalyptic storyline. Of the three parts, the first is indeed happening now and Bostrom provides cogent and illuminating glimpses into current and near-future technology. The third part is a philosophical romp exploring the consequences of supersmart machines. It’s that second part—the intelligence explosion—that demonstrably violates what we know of computer science and natural intelligence.
Runaway Intelligence?
The notion of the intelligence explosion arises from Moore’s Law, the observation that the speed of computers has been increasing exponentially since the 1950s. Project this trend forward and we’ll see computers with the computational power of the entire human race within the next few decades. It’s a leap to go from this idea to unchecked growth of machine intelligence, however.
First, ingenuity is not the sole bottleneck to developing faster com.
Risk can be looked at as the effect of uncertainty on organizati.docx
Risk can be looked at as the effect of uncertainty on organizational objectives. If that is the case how can an organization create value from uncertainty? What tools can an organization use or what does an organization have to have in order to achieve any kind of value in the face of uncertainty? Does the organization have to be accountability to anyone, if so who? Are there any internal/external forces involved?

QUESTION 1
Evaluate a company’s recent (within the last year) actions dealing with risk and uncertainty. (10 %)
Difference between risk and uncertainty
Risk is how we characterize uncertainty about values that vary.
Risk is modeled using random variables multiplied by their probabilities.
Uncertainty refers to the distribution of the random variables.
Which probabilities should be assigned to the various values the random variables can take?
QUESTION 1
Evaluate a company’s recent (within the last year) actions dealing with risk and uncertainty. (10 %)
When you’re uncertain about the costs or benefits of a decision, replace numbers with random variables and compute expected costs and benefits.
Analyze common types of uncertainty and risk your company faces. For example:
Uncertainty in pricing
Uncertainty in dealing with suppliers and distributers
…
QUESTION 2
Offer advice for improving risk management. (15 %)
By modeling uncertainty, you can:
Learn to make better decisions
Identify the source(s) of risk in a decisions
Compute the value of collecting more information.
Difference-in-difference estimators are a good way to gather information about the benefits and costs of a decision.
The first difference is before versus after the decision or event.
The second difference is the difference between a control and an experimental group.
If you are facing a decision in which one of your alternatives would work well in one state of the world, and you are uncertain about which state of the world you are in, think about how to minimize expected error costs.

Right from the start, there have been nations, and nations have gove.docx
Right from the start, there have been nations, and nations have governments. A government is usually elected by the people, and at different times, the elects need help to address the nation. This is what prompts politicians to say, ‘
Write me a speech,’
which will eventually be used to deliver a message to a large group of people. When a speech is being delivered, there are several factors that are considered. To write
and deliver a message to the people is no easy job.
The very first is the outfit and dressing of the speaker. The second is the reputation and integrity of the speaker addressing the people. The third is the manner in which the speech is structured and the words used in conveying the message. Other things that need to be concentrated on by the speaker during a speech include gesticulation and aural channels.
Speeches have been known to influence the public. A simple wrong sentence can have a negative effect on the citizens of a country and can spark reactions, riots and even mass protests. Speeches have been known to break down diplomacy between countries and start wars. Since the importance of a speech cannot be emphasized enough, it practically means a speech needs to be analyzed and reviewed with utmost care.
Why Politicians Need to Order Speeches
Political figures usually have a whole lot to do when they’re in power. For instance, presidents of countries have to manage the implementation of the law by installing and taking off different officers. They also have to append their signatures on laws and bills that need to be passed into the constitution. A president’s main obligation is to ensure the smooth running and stability of the government and to make sure all the laws in the constitution are adhered to.
The president also has to supervise the affairs pertaining to foreign policy and make treaties that favor the nation in terms of trade and commerce, appoint ambassadors to other countries and also monitor the affairs of policies affecting American businesses, the economy and its citizens. A cabinet of the president’s choice is appointed to oversee various key sectors of government operations.
Because of these numerous tasks mentioned above that have to be done by presidents, most of them hardly have any time to handle anything else. This also includes not being able to make the time for carefully proofreading the content and structure of the numerous speeches they have to give to the public. Keeping in mind the weighty effects of a speech, most presidents have to hire a writer or writers to handle that aspect for them.
Most people miss the point of political figures ordering speeches. Several individuals have the idea that the ghostwriter totally controls everything about the speech giving it the semblance of speechwriters actually controlling the emotions of the public. They forget that the content and structure make up half of the effect of the speech and the charisma, appearance and non-verbal approach of th.

Andrea Taylor
Southern New Hampshire University
This presentation is about RIM, a wireless solutions and mobile device company falling under scrutiny for a toxic organizational culture. After an open letter was published on the tech website BGR, RIM’s negative workplace culture was exposed including oppressed communications at all levels. The CEOs found themselves at the center of the scrutiny and this presentation is meant to demonstrate effective strategies for RIM to apply to this severe situation that could dismantle RIM within their industry and public relations.
Goals
Rebuild internal trust and civility at RIM.
Create a new open communication plan that reinstates the mission and vision of the organizational culture at RIM.
Dismantle the previous toxic attributes to the organizational culture.
Rebuild the external trust at RIM within the tech industry and with customers.
Create platforms for open communication to allow for more innovation and bring RIM back into the competition in the tech industry.
As RIM was already facing internal issues “from a dwindling market share, failed product attempts, and a sinking stock price”(Bigus, 2012, p. 6). An RIM senior executive made the decision to make the letter public due to the “culture at RIM does not allow us to speak openly without having to worry about the career-limiting effects”(Bigus, 2012, p. 5). At RIM it is more critical than ever to focus on employee engagement as the organization should be “speaking to the employee as the consumer”(Breman, 2017). Best efforts to ensure that stakeholder contributions, efforts, and overall happiness are meeting business goals and while completing their mission is a major focal point for Balsillie and Lazaridis to achieve through effective communication at all levels with all employees. To better the relationship management at RIM, more frequent face to face interaction must occur as well as more open communication throughout the workplace and through various channels such as email, surveys, anonymous feedback, and meetings to foster the relationship management on a professional and personal matter. To eliminate the limitations in relation to product development, more openness toward idea exchanges to foster the innovation and creation that RIM desperately needs to rebuild their brand. To dissolve the unenjoyable workplace issue, maintaining civility as professionals must occur and all employees must be held accountable for their performances, contributing to a positive workplace culture, and professionalism meanwhile utilizing filtering to aid responses that exhibit empathy, understanding, and informational exchanges.
Target Audience
Employees at all levels will be the main focus of internal communication.
Industry critics, publication sights/media, as well as customers will be the main focus of external communications.
The entire organization at RIM will be the focal, target audience, considering the .

Riku is a 19-year-old college student. One morning, after a long night of studying, Riku woke up and made himself a hot cup of coffee and toast. Much to his surprise, when he brought the cup to his mouth to drink, the coffee spilt onto the table. Riku went to the bathroom mirror and noticed the left side of his face seemed to droop. He quickly got dressed and ran to the medical clinic on the college campus. As he ran, his left eye began to feel scratchy and dry, but he could not blink in response. The physician at the clinic listened to Riku’s story and then did a careful cranial nerve examination. She concluded that Riku had Bell palsy, an inflammatory condition of the facial nerve most likely caused by a virus.

Right to Portland Parks and Recreation Community CentersI be.docx
Right to Portland Parks and Recreation Community Centers
I believe that everyone has the right to access recreational community centers and the free activities that come with them. Portland Parks and Recreation (PP&R) is funded through taxes by the citizens of Portland. One of the community centers is Mt. Scott Community Center, located in southeast Portland. This center has been an important part of my life since I was a young child. I’ve been going to Mt. Scott Community Center for my whole life, and my perception of it has changed over time. When I was younger there was only two reasons for going to the community center; either I was playing basketball at an open gym or in one of the little leagues, or I was swimming at the in pool. I now work at Mt. Scott as a lifeguard. Now that I am an adult and employed by the center, I see how important the programs are to youth. I was one of the individuals whose beliefs were shaped by the equitable access to interesting and fun recreational programs. I know firsthand how crucial it is for youth to be involved in active and positive activities. Being involved with this center as an adult has helped to shape my belief in the importance of the parks programs for all.
In 2012, Portland Parks & Recreation developed a strategic plan that states that “Public parks and recreation contribute endless benefits to the community. The outcomes are “more than fun and games,” playing a substantial role in developing healthy lives and building community, preventing crime and providing positive alternatives for youth.” However, this report also states that not all Portlanders have equal access to recreation facilities and the opportunities they offer.
The data showed that youth in communities of color and the elderly do not have enough facilities near them and that it is a hardship to travel to recreation centers that were further away. In Portland, many of the black families moved from NE Portland to outer SE Portland. This gentrification, the systematic process of upgrading a neighborhood so that the existing residents can’t afford to live there, caused an influx of communities of color to relocate to southeast where the cost of housing was cheaper. The 2016 Performance Report from PP&R reveals that the East Portland Community Center, which serves this neighborhood, is inadequate both in size and services to meet the needs of the youth and elderly that live in the area.
Because I believe that every person has the right to participate in recreation programs in Portland, It is important to the health of our city that every individual have the support needed to access a recreational facility. Portland Parks and Recreation refers to this effort as “closing the play gap”. To close this gap, PPR needs to improve their facilities, do outreach in a variety of places such as schools and neighborhood associations and to partner with other agencies like Tri-Met for transportation to the recreation centers.

Rilke Letters Assignment (FINAL ESSAY) Core 110—Spring 2019 .docx
Rilke Letters Assignment (FINAL ESSAY) Core 110—Spring 2019
Read the following directions carefully.
Instead of a final exam, you will write an essay (or letters) related to
the assigned reading of Letters to a Young Poet.
The approximate length is 3-4 pages (MLA format).
The final draft is due at the scheduled time for your class’s final exam
period (see Moodle for details and submission link). We WILL NOT
meet for a final exam.
Choose ONE of the following options for your assignment. Your
writing will be graded in accordance with the standards provided in
your course syllabus, including content, grammar, and style. Use
your knowledge of the writing process we employed throughout the
course.
You must brainstorm, draft, revise, edit, and proofread. We will not
complete this process during class. You are responsible for working
through the writing process.
Format your essay using standard MLA, as we have done all
semester: double-spaced lines, 1-inch margins, 12 pt font, identifying
information (your name, course, etc).
When citing text, refer to the author and page # in MLA format. Use
only the primary source (Rilke's Letters) and do not use research
sources. Since you will only use primary sources, no reference list is
needed.
YOU MAY NOT USE SOURCES/OUTSIDE RESEARCH. Non-
compliance with this constitutes cheating and will result in failure.
General directions and tips:
Focus on analysis.
Use textual support from the Letters text to SHOW—illustrate ideas
and analyze the text rather than just reporting or telling (skills you
used in each of your course essays).
Assume your reader is already familiar with Letters to a Young Poet.
In other words, DO NOT provide a plot summary.
Center your writing on an original, meaningful thesis sentence.
Structure your writing with an interesting introduction, a substantial
body with paragraphing, and a meaningful conclusion.
When referring to the action of the text, use the literary present tense,
such as: Rilke advises the young poet to. . . .; When the poet asks
Rilke's advice about his poetry, Rilke responds. . . .
Options: Choose ONE—
1. Rilke discusses many topics in response to the young poet, Kappus, in his
letters. Choose two of Rilke's prominent topics or themes, explaining Rilke's
point of view on each of the two themes AND analyzing how and why he
interconnects the themes. Center your essay around a clear, meaningful,
worthwhile thesis sentence.
2. Imagine that Rilke is alive and well (perhaps through time travel). He will
be visiting King's College and speaking to students. You are a student
advisor for Rilke's visit, and it is your role to explain to Rilke some of the
primary concerns of your classmates so he may prepare a speech directed
toward advising them in meaningful ways. Given the insights you will help
Rilke gain, he will prepare and deliver a speech to students. .

We all get up again.The historical context of this rhyme dates back to the Great Plague of London in the late 1600s. During this time it is said that victims of the plague would be sealed in their houses. These houses would be identified by a red cross painted on the door and the phrase “God have mercy.” None of the victims would be allowed to leave the home and no one was allowed to enter. Unfortunately, this did not bode well for the other family members confined with the victim, who ended up catching the disease as well. According to Linda Alchin, “the death rate was over 16% and the plague was only halted by the Great Fire of London in 1666 that killed the rats that carried the disease which was transmitted via water sources” (41).
In this rhyme the phrase ring around the rosy is said to refer to the plague symptom of a rosy red rash in the shape of a ring on the skin. In addition, it was believed by many that the disease was transmitted by bad smells. To ward off the risk of catching the disease, some folks would carry pockets or pouches filled with sweet-smelling herbs, such as posies. It is also thought that the phrase ashes, ashes was a reference to the cremation of all the dead bodies. In the English version, the phrase A-tishoo! A-tishoo! seems to be referencing the violent sneezing that was another symptom of the disease (Alchin 41).

Chapter 1
7) Differentiate among the three international marketing concepts. International marketing combines the marketing mix of plan, price, promotion and how to distribute the brand’s product or service to a much larger scale. Before company’s can even consider to penetrate into international markets, they first have to see if their internal and external operations are able to accomplish multiple marketing concepts. The first concept for a brand to enter the international market faster would be if the company had successful technology and a variety of resources that could easily aid distribution. The second would be for small and large home markets to that have successful internal production to consider manufacturing and shipping outside of their regular market. The last concept would be for a company’s running main manager to have close connections with those from other countries, so that way there is an easy international communication that can help the company for penetrating the market. (Cateora, Graham, Gilly & Money, 2020)
When penetrating the international market, it is important to have controllable product, price, promotion and research available for distributing. However, the domestic environment and foreign environment will be uncontrollable. This is when the company will have to modify the firm’s original characteristics to match the culture’s political forces, geography, competition, climate and economic climate. All of this goes into how the brand’s product and service will ultimately be viewed by the international market and ignoring these steps can result in failed marketing efforts. (Cateora, Graham, Gilly & Money, 2020)
9) Discuss the three factors necessary to achieve global awareness?
In today’s marketplace, it is crucial for businesses and brands to understand what it means to be globally aware, especially when marketing to other cultures to achieve global awareness. The first factor to achieve global awareness, is for a company to incorporate what it means to be globally aware. To be globally aware consists of being able to respect and tolerate one’s differences in their culture, compared to one’s own. It is important to respect these differences, otherwise there won’t be a clear way to communicate these differences in a precise way.
The second factor is to understand the history, culture and stay up-to-date on current news and politics. This all plays a role in how a company can begin to achieve global awareness for their brand because it keeps marketing messages relevant the ever-changing culture.
The last factor, is to create long-term business relationships with those of other cultures. A variety of people who come from different backgrounds and cultures should be made into a stable group of managers and directors. It is important to have these people ahead of marketing and creating new campaigns when entering a new global market. This diversity is important because they are a key asse.

revise this essay by adding information to body paragraph. every bod.docx
- 1. revise this essay by adding information to body paragraph. every body paragraph needs to follow PIE model. finish essay should be at least two page double space. essay Identity might have a number of meanings. The word "identity" might refer to the race of an individual, their nationality, religion, or even orientation (Vignoles 1). An individual might identify himself or herself with other people when they have something in common. I believe that I have a strong passion for traveling, and thus traveling is regarded to be a part of my identity. In my point of view, traveling is one of those things in life that make people happy. In spite of the fact I have visited only a couple of countries, I believe that someday I can proudly say that I managed to visit all countries of this beautiful world. Therefore, I would like to dwell upon my identity as a traveler by explaining how important traveling is for me. One of the most important parts of my identity as a traveler refers to the fact that I have a constant desire to travel. It is obvious that any person might be considered as a traveler since all of us travel from time to time. Although this might refer to even any weekend trip to a nearby city, I am convinced that identity as a traveler goes much deeper. Having an identity as a traveler might refer to a state of mind. For instance, when I was at school, I always expected a new trip with my family. In other words, I thought about this all the time and even had dreams about my trips. Moreover, I can suggest that identity as a traveler does not only presuppose the process of traveling only but some other stages as well. By other stages, I mean planning the trip and getting prepared. Personally, I like the process of planning and getting prepared for the journey as equally as the very visit to a whole
- 2. new place. This makes me feel very excited and helps me to focus on meeting new people and experiencing new things. I think that all stages of traveling are important and make you experience various emotions long before the very trip. In addition, my identity as a traveler is expressed by me constantly talking about my favorite places that I have visited so far or would like to visit. As I said, traveling is very important to me and has always been regarded as an integral part of my life. I always notice that light up instantly when somebody starts talking about traveling compared to when they start talking about either football game or some other things. I am convinced that I can talk about traveling for hours. The thing is that I like telling people about my experience as a traveler, though I also like to listen to people's conversations about their favorite trips. To sum up, I would like to indicate that I identify myself as a traveler for a couple of reasons. First of all, I am a person who constantly thinks about trips. I always try to imagine what my next trip would be like and what country I want to visit. Second of all, I am fond of all the stages of travel. Planning and getting ready for the trip makes me feel very excited. Thirdly, I can talk about traveling for a long time. I feel happy when I am engaged in conversations about trips. I believe that traveling is an integral part of my life that makes me happy and motivated.
