Alibaba has become one of the most popular business platforms in the modern business. It provides an online marketplace where individuals and businesses sell and buy products both locally and internationally. Whether the customer is buying in bulk or purchasing individual items, Alibaba has modified its operations in such a manner that the consumer searches for the desired product, verifies the supplier and makes the required payment safely. Buying a phone from the platform has become highly popular because of the convenience involved as well as the reduced risk of loss of the paid amount. This paper evaluates Alibaba’s buying process from the marketer’s point of view based on the five stages of the buying decision process.
Problem Recognition
The starting point of making a purchasing decision is identification of a problem. For instance, in this case herein, the customer is interested in buying a phone of their choice. Before the customer is able to gain access to the products and as well view the kind of services that are offered by Alibaba, they are required to create an Alibaba Account. The second stage herein is to search for the products one is interested in. Alibaba has offered a variety of approaches of doing this. However, the most basic method of doing it is entering the key phrases or words into the products search bar.
The products can further be searched based on specific categories. For instance, products such as screens, television, phones and other related technology items are evident in Alibaba.com. It hence follows that filtering these items makes it easy for the customer to select from a specific category of the product they are interested in. This is especially applicable if the consumer is not sure about the kind of products or services they might be requiring at the moment. For instance, there are customers who would be interested in buying the latest phones offered by a specific company. This is one of the reasons that has made Alibaba.com categorize its items into these specific groups. It is aimed at giving the customer an incredible experience to choose from a wide pool of items that best addresses their interests (Dholakia, 2016). It is also one of the most effective approaches aimed at enhancing customer experience and satisfaction.
Search and Determination of Alternatives
Once the problem has been identified, the customer is interested in understanding the best available product in the market. It hence follows that similar products could be stocked by different supplies by varying in a variety of dynamics (Dholakia, 2016). These include quality, price and product features such as quality.

They talk about the potential and restrictions of the MAS to manufacture models that empower spatial organizers to incorporate the 'actor factor' in their examination. Their structure system contemplates actors who assume a functioning job in the spatial planning. They included actors who can watch and see a spatial domain. Using these perceptions and discernment they produce an inclination for a preferred spatial situation. Actors at that point present and discuss their inclinations amid their exchanges with different actors.
The inclinations of the actor fill in as inputs for an official choice making. Finally, ultimate conclusions are actualized in the spatial framework. They found that MAS can produce space utilization designs in light of a portrayal of a multi-actor planning process. It additionally can clear up the impacts of actors under the administration of various planning styles on the space utilization and prove how the relations between actors change amid a planning process and under different orders of coming up with decisions. Unlike the work by Parker, Manson, Janssen, Hoffman & Deadman,2003, cited below, this paper did not include the various challenges associated with the use of MAS.

In this paper, they studied different models. These models, however, were not thorough enough and therefore they took into account the multi-actor system, dynamic spatial Simulation, which has two components, that is, a cellular model that speaks to biogeophysical and biological parts of a demonstrated framework and an actor-based model to speak to human conclusion making. Because of its nature and ability to model complex situations, they highlighted some of the areas that MAS can be applied where other models cannot be able to deliver. Such areas are modeling of emergent phenomena whereby MAS can model landscape plans, due to its flexibility, MAS can represent complex land use/ cover systems, and they can be used to model dynamic paths. They also outlined the various challenges to Multi-actor systems. Such challenges include an understanding of complexity, individual decision making, empirical parameterization and model validation, and communication.

My Mother My hero
Once I think of a hero, there are specific qualities that surround my imagination, being courageous, hardworking, truthful, strong, resilient, and generous have been the qualities I taught about. I also think a hero is someone protective, caring, and so concerned to change the life of the others and make them happy in their life. My Mother has all these qualities and recognizes her as my hero. Otherwise, she grew up on the support of two great parents who had a good life where she grew up and become a teacher in her life. Almost every individual has had some achievements in their life, and there must be a factor behind those achievements, especially someone who had a significant impact on their life. My mother appears to be my hero, who had a substantial impact on my life.
She is currently 54 years old. She was a teacher by profession, and she did her best as a teacher, where she influenced the lives of many students positively; up to now, some still call her and pass their appreciation to her. She was blessed and gave birth to seven kids; the first three are daughters, then a boy and a girl, and then the last two are boys. All of them have been significantly raised, everyone has something to do for a living, my big brother is a doctor, and three of my sisters are teachers, (like Mother like daughters). Our last born is an engineer interior designer and all of us are married with happy family. All these were not for granted but because of the love of God and the efforts, commitment, and great concern of our beloved parents, especially our Mother.
Even though she did not make a complete journey in her teaching profession, but up to where she stopped, she did a lot. They have been in a relationship with my father for thirty-six years of marriage, and when they had their third kid, my dad suggested that she stop teaching and remain at home to take care of the children. Throughout my entire life, my Mother had been supportive of me, a center of inspiration, and she has always been telling me to have self-confidence and believe in myself that I can make it. In case I face a problem, and I have to make a concrete decision towards it, my Mother always had behind me because I seek for her consultation before I move on to the next step.
It feels so great knowing that there is someone who will support you despite the intensity of the problem you face. It relieves much of the stress that comes along with making decisions. My Mother is beautiful inside and out, but most importantly, she has the biggest heart. She's a hard-working person and can play both parent roles. Everyon.

Program Evaluation Plan (Part 3)
Goals of Evaluation
Evaluation refers to the act of checking various things thoroughly in order to characterize their worth or value, with reference to a certain context. In the field of education, the amount of success in a person’s aims can only be determined through evaluation. Therefore, there is a very close relationship between various aims and evaluation. The main goals of evaluation in schools are as discussed below. The first goal of evaluation in the field of education is to create an educational program ("Evaluation in Teaching and Learning Process | Education", 2020). Through evaluation, evaluators and the school management can build a given program of learning among the students. This is after gathering and checking various factors in order to find what program will fit and make a positive impact in the school. This involves consulting all the stakeholders of the program and developing strategies that will ensure the development of a good program.
The second goal of evaluation is assessing the effectiveness of the program. Evaluation ensures that the developed program is up to standards and serves the purpose that it was intended to. It helps the evaluators to check if the teaching strategies and techniques are being applied properly. The third goal of evaluation is to ensure improvement of the program. Through evaluation, evaluators can gauge the impact of the program on the school and learners. They can also identify various things that can make the program more effective. It acts as an in-built monitor in the program in order to review the progress of the program from time to time. It also gives feedback regarding the design and the implementation of a given program. Through such assessments, the school management can know where to work on, and what they need in order to enhance effective programs in teaching and learning.
For instance, in our case, evaluators can comfortably tell whether or not the program is helping girls become more superior in math. If not they can suggest better or other strategies that will make positive impact.
Cultural Issues Affecting the Program
Culture can influence how different people view things. An individual’s culture and upbringing can affect their way of processing information. Among the cultural issues that might be faced in the evaluation plan include cultural stereotypes. Some students believe that they cannot perform as expected in school or in a particular subject due to lack of preparation from their home environment. This makes them believe they do not have enough potential to do well in a given subject when they get to school. For instance, some students may not have calculat.

They talk about the potential and restrictions of the MAS to manufacture models that empower spatial organizers to incorporate the 'actor factor' in their examination. Their structure system contemplates actors who assume a functioning job in the spatial planning. They included actors who can watch and see a spatial domain. Using these perceptions and discernment they produce an inclination for a preferred spatial situation. Actors at that point present and discuss their inclinations amid their exchanges with different actors.
The inclinations of the actor fill in as inputs for an official choice making. Finally, ultimate conclusions are actualized in the spatial framework. They found that MAS can produce space utilization designs in light of a portrayal of a multi-actor planning process. It additionally can clear up the impacts of actors under the administration of various planning styles on the space utilization and prove how the relations between actors change amid a planning process and under different orders of coming up with decisions. Unlike the work by Parker, Manson, Janssen, Hoffman & Deadman,2003, cited below, this paper did not include the various challenges associated with the use of MAS.

In this paper, they studied different models. These models, however, were not thorough enough and therefore they took into account the multi-actor system, dynamic spatial Simulation, which has two components, that is, a cellular model that speaks to biogeophysical and biological parts of a demonstrated framework and an actor-based model to speak to human conclusion making. Because of its nature and ability to model complex situations, they highlighted some of the areas that MAS can be applied where other models cannot be able to deliver. Such areas are modeling of emergent phenomena whereby MAS can model landscape plans, due to its flexibility, MAS can represent complex land use/ cover systems, and they can be used to model dynamic paths. They also outlined the various challenges to Multi-actor systems. Such challenges include an understanding of complexity, individual decision making, empirical parameterization and model validation, and communication.

My Mother My hero
Once I think of a hero, there are specific qualities that surround my imagination, being courageous, hardworking, truthful, strong, resilient, and generous have been the qualities I taught about. I also think a hero is someone protective, caring, and so concerned to change the life of the others and make them happy in their life. My Mother has all these qualities and recognizes her as my hero. Otherwise, she grew up on the support of two great parents who had a good life where she grew up and become a teacher in her life. Almost every individual has had some achievements in their life, and there must be a factor behind those achievements, especially someone who had a significant impact on their life. My mother appears to be my hero, who had a substantial impact on my life.
She is currently 54 years old. She was a teacher by profession, and she did her best as a teacher, where she influenced the lives of many students positively; up to now, some still call her and pass their appreciation to her. She was blessed and gave birth to seven kids; the first three are daughters, then a boy and a girl, and then the last two are boys. All of them have been significantly raised, everyone has something to do for a living, my big brother is a doctor, and three of my sisters are teachers, (like Mother like daughters). Our last born is an engineer interior designer and all of us are married with happy family. All these were not for granted but because of the love of God and the efforts, commitment, and great concern of our beloved parents, especially our Mother.
Even though she did not make a complete journey in her teaching profession, but up to where she stopped, she did a lot. They have been in a relationship with my father for thirty-six years of marriage, and when they had their third kid, my dad suggested that she stop teaching and remain at home to take care of the children. Throughout my entire life, my Mother had been supportive of me, a center of inspiration, and she has always been telling me to have self-confidence and believe in myself that I can make it. In case I face a problem, and I have to make a concrete decision towards it, my Mother always had behind me because I seek for her consultation before I move on to the next step.
It feels so great knowing that there is someone who will support you despite the intensity of the problem you face. It relieves much of the stress that comes along with making decisions. My Mother is beautiful inside and out, but most importantly, she has the biggest heart. She's a hard-working person and can play both parent roles. Everyon.

Program Evaluation Plan (Part 3)
Goals of Evaluation
Evaluation refers to the act of checking various things thoroughly in order to characterize their worth or value, with reference to a certain context. In the field of education, the amount of success in a person’s aims can only be determined through evaluation. Therefore, there is a very close relationship between various aims and evaluation. The main goals of evaluation in schools are as discussed below. The first goal of evaluation in the field of education is to create an educational program ("Evaluation in Teaching and Learning Process | Education", 2020). Through evaluation, evaluators and the school management can build a given program of learning among the students. This is after gathering and checking various factors in order to find what program will fit and make a positive impact in the school. This involves consulting all the stakeholders of the program and developing strategies that will ensure the development of a good program.
The second goal of evaluation is assessing the effectiveness of the program. Evaluation ensures that the developed program is up to standards and serves the purpose that it was intended to. It helps the evaluators to check if the teaching strategies and techniques are being applied properly. The third goal of evaluation is to ensure improvement of the program. Through evaluation, evaluators can gauge the impact of the program on the school and learners. They can also identify various things that can make the program more effective. It acts as an in-built monitor in the program in order to review the progress of the program from time to time. It also gives feedback regarding the design and the implementation of a given program. Through such assessments, the school management can know where to work on, and what they need in order to enhance effective programs in teaching and learning.
For instance, in our case, evaluators can comfortably tell whether or not the program is helping girls become more superior in math. If not they can suggest better or other strategies that will make positive impact.
Cultural Issues Affecting the Program
Culture can influence how different people view things. An individual’s culture and upbringing can affect their way of processing information. Among the cultural issues that might be faced in the evaluation plan include cultural stereotypes. Some students believe that they cannot perform as expected in school or in a particular subject due to lack of preparation from their home environment. This makes them believe they do not have enough potential to do well in a given subject when they get to school. For instance, some students may not have calculat.

You should include the name of referring agent (your name), the name of the agency that you are imagining you work for, the current date, dates of the activities being covered in the intelligence report, and a brief summary (two to three sentences) on the adversary, scope, and nature of the potential threat. Although this is the opening section of the report, you may wish to complete it last in order to accurately capture the analysis of the body of your report. (This section is the summary so be sure this section is brief. Additional relevant details should be written in their respective sections of the report.)
II. Adversary, Motivation, and Jurisdiction
Summary
Accurately summarize the intelligence collected from the SARs to date, focusing on the “who, what, when, where, why, and how” of the threat situation. Information should be annotated with dates and times from relevant SARs, and information from each date should be provided in a separate paragraph, from inception to most recent. Your summary should focus on connecting the dots, with as much detail as needed to present all the relevant intelligence. It should highlight information that would be of particular relevance for the law enforcement agency doing follow-up in understanding the potential threat. (If it makes it easier, you can format your first section as follows:
A. Who
B. What
C. When
D. Where
E. Why
F. How
Adversary
Determine who the adversary is for this potential threat. It may be an individual or a group. You should identify the names of suspects (if known) and also the type of adversary. For example, is the adversary an international terrorist group, a domestic terrorist group, an organized crime, a local or international gang, drug traffickers, an extremist or militia group, a hacker, or a white-collar criminal? Support your answer using relevant information from the SARs.
Range
Analyze the range of the adversary’s operations. Are their activities focused within one city or state or across multiple states? Support your answer with relevant information from the SARs.
Motivation
Analyze what is known about the adversary’s motivation and how that might affect their choice of target (individual or location). Might it affect whether they choose one target or many, the type of target they select, or the location of the attack? Support your answer with relevant information from the SARs.
Jurisdiction
Based on your analyses in Parts A–C above, determine which agency has jurisdiction in following up on the potential threat. For example, should local or state law enforcement follow up? Should federa.

Problem statement:
The specific problem to be addressed is how McDonald's is going to deal with a decrease in demand in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. The general problem to be addressed is how fast-food chains and food outlets are changing their operations during the pandemic of Corona Virus in the world, especially in the United States (Daniel, 2016).
You must always list your general problem statement first. Provide context for that statement. Then present your specific problem statement and provide context for that statement. Per the assignment instructions you should list your research questions following your problem statements.
The method selected for research:
To conduct research on the above-stated problem stated, the right methodThe research method that will be adopted in conducting the proposed research will be the mixed method approach a combination approach withwhich includes both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. A quantitative approach will help understand the insights into what is triggering a certain behavior in participants. While on the other hand, quantitative study is important to figure out the proportion of customers who is are not availing their previous interest in fast food and epically McDonald's (Apuke, 2017). But dueDue to the lockdown and social distancing, going in the market and conducting research is out of option. The suitable technique is to develop a flexible approach where both primary and secondary sources are sued. For secondary resources, the reports by McDonald's' Company and other institutions regarding the change in the food industry will be a suitable option. For primary data collection, developing an online survey is the safest option. For the qualitative study, online interviews can be scheduled. Both structured and unstructured interviews can be planned. Similarly, panel discussion over video calls is also a safe option. Through a mixed approach data for both quantitative and qualitative questions can be gathered (Yoshikawa & Kalil, 2008). Comment by Terrance Woods: What does this mean? Poor word choice.

There is a critical need for a good instructional design because it is a multipurpose learning tools that not only serves instructional designers but also learners of all ages. According to Clark (2016), e-learning courses need to be integrated with instructional methods which align with high-quality research.” The implication is that the process of designing instructional designs should involve careful planning, preparing and researching in order to achieve high quality learning outcomes. In this regard, those responsible for designing must identify their strategic purpose as it predetermines the goals, objectives, expected outcomes, and resource allocation of the entire instruction model.
The main approach involves studying the critical elements in the design phases of an instructional model which enhances the learning experience of learners based on evidence-based literature. This is because humans apply appropriate cognitive processes to learn and thus instruction must adopt similar cognitive processing (Clark, 2016).The main purpose is therefore to emphasize the importance of good instructional design in enhancing the quality of education among instructors and learners. The objective involves highlighting the goals of an instructional program, the instructional objectives, relevant instructional materials and design assessment which rationalize the need for a good instructional design with the goal of engaging both learners and instructors. After all, learning is a process that requires the active participation of the learners (Reigeluth, 1987). This research study seeks to identify answers to two questions: a) What are the critical elements that build up a strong foundation for a good instructional design and b) what value do these elements offer to the learners and instructor who are the main consumers of learning instructional designs.

Music and Gender: Women Portrayal in Rap Music
The introduction of rap music in the 1980s was welcomed with a lot positivity. However, this genre of music has on many occasions been considered as being controversial. Rap music has been accused of advancing messages and themes that deal with sexism, violence, gender stereotyping and materialism. Previous studies on rap music have indicated the content found in rap music promotes negative behavior. Moreover, research has shown that rap music videos generally differ in their portrayals of men and women in music videos. Males are often cast in positive light compared to females who are depicted in positions that portray them as a submissive gender to males.
The scope of this research narrows down on rap music produced from the years 2016 to 2018.The songs selected for this research are songs with lyrics that have misogynistic themes on women. Rap songs are observed in normalizing, objectifying, glorifying, victimizing and even exploiting women. Moreover, the rap songs are observed in defaming women through using innuendos and stereotypical language which portray misogynistic and sexist perspectives. The main area of focus for this paper is on the kind of nouns that are used in rap music to refer to the concept of woman and ways in which these nouns depict women. It is critical for this project to investigate the lyrics and its representations, as rap music has in the past years been under criticism for increasingly presenting a negative and controversial image of women in the society. A theological perspective on these issues is undertaken at understanding and criticizing the misogynistic and sexist culture of rap music generally.
Men in rap music have a higher probability of perpetuating violence on women. A review done on the common rap images found out that women were more likely to be dressed in images which portrayed them in provocative ways, especially in videos that had sexual content. Research has suggested that the perpetuation of gender in the media is a theme which has been occurring for eons of time[footnoteRef:1]. Specifically, music and gender and the portrayal of women in rap music has not been extensively studied previously. It is essential to consider the differences of gender in rap music and the portrayal of women in this genre of music. [1: Ronald Weitzer and Charis E Kubrin, “Articles Misogyny in Rap Music A Content Analysis of Prevalence and Meanings,” accessed October 23, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1177/1097184X08327696.]
Although scholars have attempted examining the interactions between rap music and religion, there has been a gap in regard to how artists frame religious messages within their lyrics. However, this lack of sufficient research does not reflect on the continued .

Question 1
Brief introduction of Ohio City
Ohio is a great city named after the Ohio River in the 18th century. The area was disputed by the France and Great Britain. After the dispute, it established its own territories. This territory included the land where west of Pennsylvania in United States and the northwest of the Ohio River. The area covered more than 260,000 square miles (Turner, & Bogue 2010).
The History of Ohio City that has led to construction of Museums.
The area remained as a hunting ground by the Iroquois after the dispute. Later, some American groups began to migrate to the area. Later there was a seven years war between the Europeans, British and France. They all wanted to colonize the area. Unfortunately, the British worn and after the win, they ordered French settlers to leave the area. It is evident that the war brought about the breakdown of ethnicities.
How museum focus has been of great importance to the citizens of the city
The area is known for its landscape, mountains, rivers and minerals. This makes Ohio City to be a great city suitable for great museums. It is evident that, Ohio City creates the best environment for a museum with the theme of History and Natural History to be built. For instance, Miami River is known to be a great river. Many people admire visiting the area just to see the river. This creates the best conditions to build a museum. People within the city can also visit the museum and get to enjoy the benefits of the museums.
How people from outside the city benefit from the construction of the museums.
People outside Ohio City can also visit the museums. These museums will offer the history of the river to its visitors. They will also address an increasing array of issues in the dynamic environment (Edson, 2017).
Question 2
Permanent Exhibition.
Modern museum are designed to have a permanent exhibit, in this case the museum must have enough collections and classification of a field of knowledge for research and for display purposes. This will enlighten the visits about the history of Ohio City. The history stored in this museum will also be of great use to students as they will learn a lot in these museums,

In a bid to control the prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans, it is important to examine a number of attributes of culture that can empower a person towards changing a behavior. The factors may be positive, existential, and negative. Existential factors may be not harmful but need to be acknowledged. The importance of a family cannot be ignored especially because of the support they provide to diabetic patients. Family is therefore a positive cultural value which will assist in managing diabetes disease. This paper therefore seeks to address how each of the PEN-3 model’s three factors within the dimension of cultural empowerment applies to the African American group.
It is important to explore by identifying several cultural beliefs and practices that are positive, existential and negative. Positive factors are likely to lead to an improvement by reducing the prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans. Existential factors are existing cultural values and beliefs that may have no harmful health consequences. Cultural practices that may act as barriers in controlling the prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans are the negative factors. Example of these negative practices includes poor nutrition leading to obesity.
Positive Factors
The positive factors which will influence management and control of diabetes among the African Americans include spirituality and family. For example, talking about a family affair with diabetes will make a great impact in controlling diabetes among the African Americans. This is because it will create awareness of how to handle and deal with diabetes. Spirituality will have a positive impact in controlling the prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans. African Americans who have spiritual faith are likely to engage in activities which will reduce the prevalence of the disease.
Existential Factors
Existential factors include faith healing. A belief in faith healing is a factor which is likely to reduction in prevalence of diabetes among the African Americans. Individuals who are religious are likely to visit religious leaders to seek healing and intervention. Many individuals confess that they got healed after being prayed for by the Pastors and other religious leaders. This is attributed to believing in faith healing.
Negative Factors
Consumption of “comfort foods” is common in the diet of the African Americans. These foods contain high fat, sugar, and calorie contents. Example of negative cultural factors includes unhealthy traditional foods. Poor nutrition among the African Americans is more l.

Program evaluation plan (part 2)
In order to ensure that the “gender equity for girls in math” education program which applies to master’s level students is efficient in fulfilling the outlaid goals, the goal based approach of evaluation should be applied in evaluating the effectiveness of the program. The major objective of this education program is to empower the girl child and to ensure that there are increase female students taking courses in mathematics at higher education levels (Markovits & Forgasz, 2017). In this case therefore, the evaluators has to establish if the establishment of this program will promote the positivity and capability of girls to take courses in Mathematics and to increasingly love the subject even in the lower classes so as to portray an increased number in the number of girls pursing this course in the masters level.
The goal based approach of evaluation will help the school evaluator to be able to determine how they can ensure that all the institutions are able to empower the girl child and encourage them to increasingly perfect their skills in mathematics in order to see a reflection of changes in the higher education levels (Sarouphim & Chartouny, 2017). This evaluation technique will help the education program creators to determine if the program is efficient in attaining the set objects through checking the outcomes of the implementation of the program over certain period of time.
The gender equality for girls in Math is a program that is anticipated to help the girl children be able to resolve their issues that result from fear and insecurities which cause them to undermine their power and be left behind by the boy child in regard to prosperity in Mathematics (Ganley.et.al, 2018). Therefore, the evaluators will have a role of determining the broader impacts of this approach as well as investigate what greater good is served as a result of this program. This will include identify the consequences that the program will have on other courses which most female students major in and how the male students will be affected by the program. The goals based evaluation method will help establish the objectives which can be added in the program to make it have optimal results to both girls and boys as well as ensure that other courses that are male dominated portray gender equality (Stoehr.et.al, 2017).
The major areas where the evaluators will assess include; the goals of the program, the outcomes of the program as well as the consequences. The main questions concerning these areas will be; what are the objectives of the program? How will the program be able to meet these goals? How do the goals of the program align with the activities involved.
This document discusses a program budget and financial analysis for a breast cancer awareness campaign targeting African American women. It includes a $1 million budget with revenue sources like grants, donations, and product sales. Expenditures include materials development, workshops, salaries, and supplies. A break-even analysis finds the point where costs equal $100,000 in revenue. Cost-effectiveness analysis shows the awareness campaign is more effective than alternative screening programs in reaching more women at a lower cost. In conclusion, careful budgeting and financial planning are important for implementing the breast cancer awareness initiative.

The article discusses how most trauma treatment focuses on the individual, but trauma is also a relational event that affects close relationships. It argues that systemic protocols addressing interpersonal difficulties in addition to intrapersonal issues are critical for healing. To illustrate, a graphic case study is presented of a family experiencing trauma due to a kidnapping, and how individual versus systemic treatment approaches would differ in addressing their needs.

Program Design to Promote Social Goals in American K12 Schools
Explanation of Each Initiative
The three main initiatives of promoting social goals in school will include: promoting moral and character education, improving children’s health and nutrition, and creating school communities through extracurricular activities, after school programs, and school spirits (Rissanen et al. 2018). Comment by Evelyn Young: The 3 initiatives are clearly stated. Although did Rissanen et al. propose these 3 initiatives to promote social goals in schools? If these are your arguments, take credit for them. No need to give credit to Rissanen et al. for formulating the thesis for your paper.
I think that your paper could have used an introduction followed by the thesis statement.
Explanation of Each Initiative
Moral education is meant to promote good conduct among school-going children, not just within their immediate social relationships, but also in their dealings with their fellow citizens. This initiative is premised on the need for students to possess clear ideals and judgments on what action are right and what are wrong, including the determination of students’ conduct through a constant reference to those ideals. Moral education will be offered as a social goal to enlighten students on a system of rules and norms that regulate the social interactions of people on concepts of welfare, such as harm, trust, justice, and rights. For some students, issues related to values, personal feelings, and societal norms are constructs for discussions and are as such viewed as being influenced by the manner in which morality taught or experienced in schools, churches, and social institution settings. Moral education will be meant to reduce criminal and deviant behaviors among students. Moral character is required in schools because many parents do not teach their children morality issues.
The health and nutrition initiative is meant to improve the physical and mental well being of students. This initiative has the potential to improve the quality of students’ urban life, strengthen the ability of poor children to excel in their studies, and to compensate them for the substandard home and school environments spawned by competitive, inequitable social order. Health and nutritional initiatives will be strengthened through planning and introducing curriculum on nutrition with educational activities. These will include physical activities, which are combined with the farm to school programs that motivate students to consume healthy diets. Indeed, the hybrid school-based nutritional programs have major influence on attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with fruits and vegetable consumption diffused throughout a bigger urban community (Dudley Cotton & Peralta, 2015). This hybrid intervention includes combining district stra.

Proficiency Level Analysis
Grouping Strategy for Ms. Jensen
The arrangement of the student in the class should be based on their proficiency level while factoring the different capabilities of each student. The teacher should ensure that the both fast learners and slow learners are catered in terms of understanding how to handle their comprehension capabilities. The class has three categories of student, basic, intermediate and proficient.
Cooperative Learning
Cooperative grouping is based on the differences among the children in terms of their learning abilities. Li & Lam (2013) states that cooperative grouping is best suited for situations where students have learning abilities which are differing. The grouping technique is implemented following the analysis of the heterogeneous factors such that students should be grouped depending gender, economic background, culture, race and ethnicities. The ranking of students should follow the descending order starting with the highest to the lowest. To make a ranking legend, the teacher should use L for low achiever, M for medium achievers and H for highest achievers. The grouping should include at least one student from each category for the purposes of achieving diversity. The grouping system should however be done without involving the students as such could encourage discrimination. The issues of gender should be defined effectively to avoid the majority of gender in any of the group.
Rationale for Placement
The strategy is important and useful for the given case because students have different abilities and proficiency. The grouping strategy also promotes involvement of all students since the group is designed in manner which facilitates individual contribution. Tsay & Brady (2012) states that the cooperative grouping is important since it allows for the development of critical thinking skills and communication skills.
Conclusion
Ms. Jensen’s class has students with different abilities and varying English proficiency. Cooperative grouping is effective for 7th grade children since it allow them to exchange information amongst themselves while encouraging collaborative learning. Students are more likely to improve their self-esteem and moralization to study English tasks since group composition allows individual contribution and peer discussions.

Executive Summary
Professional Development Proposal Program
The need for organizational efficiency is driving the need for understanding the competency of individuals that generate effectiveness. The emotional intelligence capabilities help explain considerable as well as significant variances in accepting and predicting performance in capability studies. Emotional intelligence is the ability to monitor personal feelings and emotions visa vie other people’s feelings and emotions and use the information to guide personal thinking and actions. Management can rely on employees’ emotional building blocks to not only enhance their performance, but also their job satisfaction levels. The most important emotional intelligence building blocks that enhance employee performance and job satisfaction are social skills, self-awareness, self regulation, self motivation and empathy. Managers will use emotional intelligence to identify the positive and negative reinforcement of motivation to enhance employee morale within the organization. Positive reinforcement motivation tools are the rewards given to employees for exemplary performance while negative reinforcement is the penalty or punishment for poor performance.
Leaders can use the concept of emotional intelligence to enhance their social skills and decision-making skills in management. Emotional intelligence plays a critical role in helping persons requiring social skills to help them deal with social situations. Given that building strong relationship is one aspect of effective leadership, there is need for organizational leaders to build capacity in social skills for better organizational performance. Leaders can also utilize the concept of emotional intelligence to enhance their decision-making skills. Emotionally intelligent decision makers rely on self-awareness and self-management to determine their appropriate duties in decision making process. Decision makers use these skills to determine whether they have the necessary orientation to a problem.
Emotionally intelligent leaders strive for the establishment of effective teams to help realize organizational and team goals. Effective teams have clear purpose and goals, engage in consensus decision making, shared leadership and embrace open communication. To develop effective teams, departmental managers must define the team’s purpose and goals, define the roles for each group member and quickly identify and resolve conflicts. Finally, there is need to develop both extrinsic and intrinsic reward systems for employee motivation and improved performance.

Marketting
Alibaba has become one of the most popular business platforms
in the modern business. It provides an online marketplace where
individuals and businesses sell and buy products both locally
and internationally. Whether the customer is buying in bulk or
purchasing individual items, Alibaba has modified its
operations in such a manner that the consumer searches for the
desired product, verifies the supplier and makes the required
payment safely. Buying a phone from the platform has become
highly popular because of the convenience involved as well as
the reduced risk of loss of the paid amount. This paper
evaluates Alibaba’s buying process from the marketer’s point of
view based on the five stages of the buying decision process.
Problem Recognition
The starting point of making a purchasing decision is
identification of a problem. For instance, in this case herein, the
customer is interested in buying a phone of their choice. Before
the customer is able to gain access to the products and as well
view the kind of services that are offered by Alibaba, they are
required to create an Alibaba Account. The second stage herein
is to search for the products one is interested in. Alibaba has
offered a variety of approaches of doing this. However, the
2. most basic method of doing it is entering the key phrases or
words into the products search bar.
The products can further be searched based on specific
categories. For instance, products such as screens, television,
phones and other related technology items are evident in
Alibaba.com. It hence follows that filtering these items makes it
easy for the customer to select from a specific category of the
product they are interested in. This is especially applicable if
the consumer is not sure about the kind of products or services
they might be requiring at the moment. For instance, there are
customers who would be interested in buying the latest phones
offered by a specific company. This is one of the reasons that
has made Alibaba.com categorize its items into these specific
groups. It is aimed at giving the customer an incredible
experience to choose from a wide pool of items that best
addresses their interests (Dholakia, 2016). It is also one of the
most effective approaches aimed at enhancing customer
experience and satisfaction.
Search and Determination of Alternatives
Once the problem has been identified, the customer is interested
in understanding the best available product in the market. It
hence follows that similar products could be stocked by
different supplies by varying in a variety of dynamics
(Dholakia, 2016). These include quality, price and product
features such as quality of the camera, memory among other
things. It hence follows that one of the ways of achieving this in
Alibaba.com is enabling the customer to filter the results and
narrow them as much as possible. For instance, if they are
interested in iPhone 5, the customer is keen to evaluate the
alternatives stocked by different suppliers of this product. As
mentioned earlier, despite the fact that the product features
could be the same, it could be differing in a number of respects.
3. Alibaba.com has provided the customer with the discretion to
navigate their searches through customized options. For
instance, instead of making a search of the phone by the product
name, the search can be narrowed further so that the results are
based on the suppliers who have the product in store. This
makes the customer have knowledge of the suppliers having the
product they are interested in. The freedom of offering varied
options of customizing search is key to customer satisfaction.
According to Iman (2017), the customer is keen to buy the
product that best satisfies their needs in terms of quality, price
and other related metrics that influence consumer buying
behaviors. Secondly, the consumer is keen to get the fairest
deal. This is why Alibaba has made iteasy for the customers to
use the criteria they find convenient to establish the kind of
products and services offered by these companies.
Evaluation of Alternatives
Once the search is made, the customer now has a variety of
phone models that they have seen alluring and have captured
their attention. In order to make purchasing decision, they will
need to compare the deals associated with different suppliers. It
is for this reason that Alibaba.com gives the customers a chance
to post a request for quotation of the specific products. For
instance, a customer could request for a quotation specifying
their needs and comparing the products offered by multiple
suppliers in the effort to find out which supplier gives the best
deal (Iman, 2017).
There are different ways in which the company has facilitated
the process of addressing the confusion that comes with a wide
variety of alternatives. The stating point is entering the specific
name of the product as well as the desired quantity. This is
based on the rationale that bulk buying is more advantageous as
compared to buying individual items (Lamb, 2018). Bulk buying
comes with hefty discounts as compared to the approach of
4. purchasing a specific item. This is why the customer has all the
metrics required to influence their purchasing decisions
installed in the platform. Other relevant product specifications
such as the shipping destination could influence the price of the
products. Automation of the buying process makes purchasing
of a phone, for instance, very easy.
It is important to underscore the fact that scammers are
numerous over the internet. One of the ways in which Alibaba
has succeeded to overcome their operations is the issuance of
the verification badges. It hence follows that in the process to
determine alternatives, the customer could find a supplier who
gives the best deal. It is important that they go ahead and search
for their profiles for the purposes of ascertaining their
verification badges. Verifying legitimacy of the suppliers
reduces financial fraud (Lamb, 2018). Scammers could subtly
trick the customer to have the best deal so as to lure them to
make payment. Once the payment is made, the deal is already
sealed and no product is delivered to the customer.
Verification badges are a significant way to ensure that the
supplier has fulfilled all the authentication and verification
inspection requirements by Alibaba as well as from a third-party
verification service. Alibaba has also established an Onsite
Check feature. This plays a major role in verifying the premises
of the suppliers to make sure that onsite operations of the said
supplier actually exist. Internet fraud and especially when it
comes to making purchases over the internet requires
comprehensive measures to seal all the loopholes that could be
used by criminals to lure customers to enter into illegitimate
deals.
Purchase Decision
Evaluation of the alternatives of different phone models in
Alibaba pushes the customer to making a final decision. There
are other key considerations to make in making purchasing
5. decisions. To start with is the type of supplier who will supply
the product. The second factor is the acceptable mode of
payment and the third consideration is the warehouse from
which the product will be collected based on the country where
the customer situated. This is why it is of great importance that
the supplier is contacted for verification of such details before
the purchase is made and the delivery process initiated.
It is important to underscore the fact that Alibaba purchasing is
typically conducted in different languages. However, English is
the default language used when making communications with
the client. Language preferences of the customers limited to the
internationally recognized languages could be accepted in the
effort to help the customer to make the best purchase decision.
The customer is required to verify the posted price and as well
engage the supplier to find out whether a price reduction is
possible based on key metrics such as discounts. Once this is
solved, Alibaba directs the customer to negotiate the payment
price as well as the method. This include on various finance
logistics including the payment currency as well as the
preferred method of payment.
Once all pending issues above are resolved, the final step in the
purchasing decision is completing a secure payment. It is
important to underscore the fact that the customers should be
keen to choose the low risk payment method. Trusted
international companies such as Paypal are used in making
payments. If this is not possible, Alibaba allows the customers
to see a third-party escrow service. Alibaba has established a
secure payment service where funds are held until parties, that
is, the buyer and supplier, confirms delivery of the product in
good quality, quantity and size as ordered. This is a new feature
that Alibaba is striving to adopt in order to enhance customer
service. It hence follows that its success is evident in key
countries such as Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. Alibaba
allows the customer to dispute the purchase if any mistake is
6. made.
Post-Purchase Evaluation
Once the purchase is made, the final step of the phone buying
process at Alibaba is inspecting the product to make sure that
all the conditions agreed upon have been fulfilled. It is for this
reason that the customers are advised to inspect the products
thoroughly to verify quality and other related metrics. If
something goes wrong, the customer can make a claim of having
received a product of wrong quantity or low quality than
advertised. Alibaba’s help center is established to address such
issues. The customer is required to provide sufficient evidence
as to why they are not satisfied with the product and the case is
then carried forward by Alibaba to the supplier.
Post-evaluation process at Alibaba enables the customer to
assess whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with the
purchase in question (Blythe, 2018). It is founded on the basis
that how the customers feel about the products offered
significantly influences whether they will consider buying or
referring someone to purchase the same product or service in
future. Ensuring the customer has a chance to give feedback is
also targeted to eradicate issues of cognitive dissonance
triggered by post-purchase psychological anxiety and tension
(Blythe, 2018). The customer ought to be satisfied that they
truly made the right decision.

chapter tests are open book and are intended to help you review
for the unit exams. They are timed and you have three attempts
at each test; the questions for each attempt cover the same
material, although they may be different. The highest of the
three attempt grades will be recorded in the grade book. If you
take the test only once, that grade will be recorded in the grade
book. To prepare for the chapter tests, complete the readings,
view the lecture material, and review using the CONNECT and
other study helps posted in the chapter module. Also, review the
end-of-chapter questions and other study aides in your textbook.
When you are ready, take the test. If you wish, you may review
the material and take the test a second or third time.
Module Vocabulary Quizzes
Each module has a 20-term vocabulary quiz. The terms are
selected from the chapter vocabulary lists. The quizzes are
11. taken online through the Blackboard site. Each quiz is accessed
by clicking on the link in Blackboard. The quizzes are open
book and are intended to help you review for the unit exams. To
prepare for the vocabulary quizzes read through the lists of
terms for each chapter within the module. Fit the terms into the
context of the learning objectives for each chapter. The
vocabulary quizzes are timed and you have three attempts at
each quiz. When you are ready, take the quiz. If you wish, you
may review the material and take the quiz a second or third
time.
Unit exams
The five unit exams are timed exams (120 minutes) consisting
of multiple choice and matching; with all questions graded
automatically upon the completion of the unit exam. These unit
exams are single-attempt (with no pauses allowed during the 2-
hour time frame) and may be taken only once. The unit exams
will be available only after all the quizzes, tests and other
assessments in the unit are completed. The exams will include
topics covered in the textbook, learning objectives, and lectures
for each unit. These exams are open notes and open book;
however, you should review the material as though you will not
have the notes or book available. There will not be time during
the exam to look up every answer. Of the 5 unit exams, your 4
highest exams will count toward your final grade (the lowest
score will be dropped). NOTE: Do not schedule your unit exams
with ProctorU. Only the HOL Laboratory Final Exam (if you are
taking the lab) and the lecture Final Exam need to be proctored.
The Microbiology Case Study
You will create a case study for a microbial infection selected
from the current pathogen list which your instructor will
provide to you. Your case study will be assembled using a
detailed rubric. Upon completion, and by a specified due date
(within Unit 5), your case study will be submitted using the

Discussion Board Posts
Discussion questions cover interesting current events or
materials that contribute to a deeper understanding of key
concepts and allow you to interact with your classmates and the
instructor. Most of the discussion questions are designed to
accompany particular chapters (see specific discussion
questions for more information). Each question will require you
to conduct internet research, read additional materials (a short
journal or magazine article), visit a specific webpage, or view a
short video. Then you will write a response following the
guidelines in the assignment.
To earn full credit: you will need to post a response, respond to
13. the original posts of at least two other students, and then
contribute to an ongoing discussion. For special cases where
one or two students are accelerating faster through the course,
the instructor will participate in the discussion so that everyone
has the opportunity to interact.
Discussion Question Guidelines
1. Read the assignment carefully so that you are familiar with
the materials that you need to cover and how to craft your post.
2. Respect each other’s ideas, feelings, and experience. Some of
the questions involve areas of disagreement. Expect your
classmates to have different opinions.
3. Use proper writing style. Correct spelling and sentence
structure are expected just as if you were writing a regular
paper. Use spell check and grammar check before you submit.
4. Write your posting in a word document! That way you can
save a copy and use spell check and grammar check.
5. Cite the sources that you use to write your response. Follow
the AMA guidelines.
6. Avoid posting large blocks of text. Break your writing into
paragraphs and use a space between paragraphs to make your
posting easier to read online.
7. Subscribe to the discussion so that you get email updates
when there is activity.
8. Use the “reply” button rather than the “compose” button
when responding to someone else’s post.
9. When responding to a classmate, address them by name.
10. Do not use postings such as “I agree,” “I don’t know
either,” or “ditto.” They do not add to the discussion, take up
space on the Discussions, and will not be counted.
11. Everyone benefits from an active discussion. Check back in
frequently to see what others are saying.
12. Plan your time carefully. You will need to give your
classmates time to respond to your postings. This is an
asynchronous class where students will be in different points of
the class.
13. Contact your instructor if there are schedule problems or
14. other issues that need to be resolved.
