Running Head: SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES 3 Sexually Transmitted Diseases Summary of teaching plan Title: Sexually Transmitted Diseases Overview Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are transmitted from one person to another during oral, anal and vaginal sexual activities. STDs are very common especially among sexually active teenagers and a number of them don’t have the symptoms making it hard to tell if one has contacted one. STDs are very dangerous to one’s health however, it can be detected when one is tested and majority of them have a cure (Bouchery, Harwood, and Brewer, 2014). STDs are preventable with abstinence and safe sexual practices; one is likely not to contract the disease. Examples of the STDs are: chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV and AIDS, Human Papillomavirus, scabies, syphilis and trichomoniais (Stingler, Neusel, and Perry, 2013). Objectives 1. To help the teenagers understand what STDs are as well as ways one can contract them 2. To teach the teenagers some of the preventive measures of contracting STDs. 3. To educate the teenagers on measures on should take incase exposed to an environment one is likely to contract STDs 4. To help the teenagers differentiate the myths from the facts regarding STDs Materials Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts, Graphic power point presentations STD pamphlets, Writing materials: Pens and Plain papers, Teacher’s laptop, overhead screen Estimated cost: Overhead screen will be offered by the church, additional materials needed about $45-$80 Directions The learning sessions was grouped into four different sessions lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes. In the first session, it was purely teaching session where I addressed all the objectives in a classroom setting and the teenagers were allowed to take notes. Teaching was enhanced with graphic power points to help create a visual understanding of the different concepts put across. The second session on the other hand was purely audio visual where the teenagers were allowed to view different Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts expounding on sexually, transmitted disease. The audio-visual session also addressed all the objectives just as the case was in the classroom set up in session one. The third session was an open forum where the teenagers were allowed to ask questions, seek clarification on different issues or add more insight on concept learned. This session was an interactive one where all disturbing questions was addressed. The end of this session was marked by satisfactory response to all questions and insight brought forward by both the teacher and the teenagers. The fourth and final session was an examination setup where each of the participants were given a quick test to test their understanding for the concepts learnt. Those who performed exemplary were awarded certificates and gifts and the whole were issued pa.

Running head: SETTING UP RESEARCH 1 Chapter 6 Methods of Measuring Behavior WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS CHAPTER: · • The use of different methods of measuring behavior and collecting data · • What a test is · • How different types of tests are designed to assess different types of behavior · • The use of achievement tests in the behavioral and social sciences · • The design of multiple-choice items · • How to do an item analysis · • The application of attitude scales · • The difference between Thurstone and Likert attitude scales In Chapter 5, you got a healthy dose of the theoretical issues that provide the foundation for the science of measurement, why measurement is crucial to the research process, how reliability and validity are defined, and how each of these can be established. In this chapter, you will begin learning about the application of some of these principles as you read about different methods that can be used to measure behavior, including the ubiquitous test, the questionnaire, the interview, and other techniques. As you read this chapter, keep several things in mind. Your foremost concern in deciding what method you will use to measure the behavior of interest should be whether the tool you intend to use is a reliable and valid one. This is equally true for the best-designed test and for the most informal-appearing interview. If your test does not “work,” then virtually nothing else will. Second, the way in which you ask your question will determine the way in which you go about measuring the variables that interest you. If you want to know about how people feel toward a particular issue, then you are talking about attitudinal scales. If you want to know how much information people have about a particular subject, then you are talking about an achievement test or some other measure of knowledge. The focus of a study (such as the effects of unemployment on self-esteem) might be the same, whether you measure attitude or achievement, but what you use to assess your outcome variable depends on the question you ask. You need to decide the intent of your research activity, which in turn reflects your original research question and hypothesis. Third, really efficient researchers are fully onboard for using whatever method helps them answer the questions that are being asked. This might include a mixed-methods model where one aspect of a research program might include qualitative methods while another might include qualitative methods (see Chapter 10). As research questions and their associated hypotheses become more intricate and complex, the creative side of using a particular research method correctly becomes more important. Finally, keep in mind that methods vary widely in the time it takes to learn how to use them, in the measurement process itself, and in what you can do with the information once you have collected it. For example, an interview might be appropriate to determine how teachers feel about chang.

March 22, 2020 NP6. Introduction NP7. This paper will analyze the question, would removing the protected class designation on 'sex' make a more robust, more competitive workforce, by equalizing the playing the field for men and women. 8. Addressing the question will involve defining and applying moral imagination, moral courage, Dr. Laura's Three Prerequisites for Assigning Moral Credit of Culpability, Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics, Intersecting Circle's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Model, Strict Liability Theory, Kohlberg's Moral Development Model, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Model, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). NP9. EEOC Laws and Protected Classes NP10. Protected classes are the groups protected from employment discrimination by law. 11. These groups include men and women based on sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps” 11a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 12. The designation of a protected class requires employers to abide by the EEOC Laws. 13. The EEOC Laws are “five laws which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical handicap and mental handicap in any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment” 13a. (NARA, 2020, para 16). 14. The applicable laws were designed to “correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members” 14a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 15. Although men and women cannot be discriminated against based on sex, the protected class of sex was designed to prevent discrimination of women in the workplace. 16. The analysis throughout the paper will focus on this fact, and decide if removing sex as a protected class will make the workforce more competitive. NP17. Moral Courage and Moral Imagination NP18. Looking at removing a protected class will involve looking at the question from multiple perspectives, this requires moral imagination. 19. Biasucci, Hernandez, and Prentice, 19a. (2020, para 1) say, "Moral imagination, according to philosopher Mark Johnson, means envisioning the full range of possibilities in a particular situation in order to solve an ethical challenge." 20. One view is that the workforce is handing out jobs to women over men, for fear of discriminating accusations. 21. If sex is no longer a protected class, then companies would be able to select the qualified individual without fear of reprisal. 22. Another way of looking at the issue is from the actual definition of protected classes. 23. Sex is a protected class, meaning that both men and women are technically protected from discrimination. 24. From this viewpoint, companies could be accused by both men and women if they feel they employers actively discriminated against them. 25. .

It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities. Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

Running Head: SETTING A BUDGET 1 SETTING A BUDGET 6 SETTING A BUDGET Ashley Cook HMSV8304 The American Red Cross is an organization with immeasurable commitment to provision of compassionate care to people who are in need in America. As such, this is their mission and their budget epitomizes this. The largest chunk of the income that is mainly received from grants from governments and organizations as well as donations from organizations is spent on humanitarian activities. For the year 2018, 91.85% of the $0.5 billion that was raised from the aforementioned sources was used in humanitarian activities. These included helping people who needed care in in disasters in the shortest notice, ensuring and maintaining community health especially by being in the frontline to deliver blood to patients who needed it in our health facilities. The organization recognizes the importance of mitigating disasters before they happen and therefore set aside $1,659,000 that was used to keep teams ready to stop a disaster before it happened or minimize injury or loss of life as much as possible. This is in line with the organizations principle of being proactive rather than react to disasters when they happen. The American Red Cross has a total 12,534 permanent employees spread all over the nation to offer humanitarian help whenever and wherever it is needed (Hutchinson, 2018). These are selfless individuals who are always risking their lives to save others’. The organization therefore aims at giving the employees the best working conditions given the circumstances and making sure that they stay safe as much as possible while delivering help. As such, American Red Cross buys the best equipment and vehicles to help the employees as well as volunteers in humanitarian work to get to sites of disasters in the shortest time possible and safely. This is why the company has invested in top notch ambulances that have lifesaving equipment that may be used by the employees to save lives in an occurrence of a disaster. As indicated above, funds that are used by the organization to finance its operations as well as management are received from state and federal government, and international organizations as grants or from the public as donations. Often times, the funders wish to know how the funds that they give out the cause of saving human lives through humanitarian assistance is used (Schnupp & Möller 2018). The organization therefore posts its official budget on its official website where it can be accessed by all people. In the last 5 years, the donations have been on the rise and this is a good indicator that the people who fund the organizations are happy about how the money they give to it is being used. One of the key strengths in the company is the manner in which the employees relate with each other and the organization at large. The organization appreciates the selflessness of the people working there. As such, employee retreats are held.

It suggests that the involvement of the consumers and the consumer’s own processing mechanisms have a very vital role in so far as an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the companies is concerned. The topic explored is very relevant since we have seen a continuous trend where various organizations are becoming more and more under pressure when it comes to communicating organizational policies and organizational positions as pertains to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every market segment needs to be informed about the organization’s good intentions as well as actions so as to have an impression that the corporation is trustworthy. This implies that the market demand that their corporations engage them through dialogue. Notably, the existing academic literature does not have empirical research that seeks to examine impact of asymmetric versus symmetric communication strategies to the consumers. Research Questions i. Which strategies have corporations used in communication with their stakeholders about social corporate responsibility initiatives? ii. Which of the two communication strategies, asymmetric communication and symmetric communication is more effective? iii. What is the role of stakeholder’s personal information processing mechanisms when it comes to evaluation of trustworthiness of corporations? Hypothesis The first hypothesis (H1) states: Asymmetric vs. symmetric CSR communication strategies will have differing impacts on consumer trust in the organization. The second hypothesis (H2) states: Consumer trust is higher among the consumers with high involvement (those being a “green” consumer in symmetric communication. Considering the hypotheses, it clearly emerges that they are closely linked to the study questions. The formulated questions point into integrated communication approach as used in organizations with particular attention being paid to the relevance of the communication approached to corporate social responsibility. They further go on to address and draw parallels between innovative approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric communication techniques and their impacts on the stakeholders. The above are further captured in the hypotheses especially when we look at the consumer concerns about an organization’s initiatives on social corporate responsibility. For instance, scepticism green consumers have on CSR been capture by H2. Generally, green consumers are very much conscious about the environmental impacts of their purchase as we.

Running head: SELF-INJURIOUS BEHAVIOR 1 SELF-INJURIOUS BEHAVIOR 5 Self-Injurious Behavior Name Capella University Self-Injurious Behavior For this final assignment a research of self-injurious behavior has been conducted. Self-injurious behavior, also known as SIB, is described an instance of behavior that results in physical injury to a person’s own body. SIB includes head banging, using objects to cut or puncture self, pinching self, consuming inedible substances, vomiting, pulling own hair, sucking, biting, scratching body parts and use of drugs, among others (Yang, 2003). SIB, is usually displayed by individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. SIB can result in serious injuries and in severe cases even death. According to Yang (2003), the treatment of SIB has become one of the most serious issues for clinicians and other professionals due to the injury, risk, prevalence, and cost involved. Article 1 Overview The first article discussed is "Combination of extinction and protective measures in the treatment of severely self-injurious behavior" by Lizen Yang from Behavioral interventions journal. Yang explores and discusses the advantages of using extinction in conjunction with the non-intrusive protective measures to treat SIB. In the study, extinction in combination with non-intrusive protective measures was selected as the intervention strategy to reduce SIB. Subjects and setting The study was conducted on two adolescent females with profound mental retardation and physical disabilities at a state facility. Both subjects exhibited self-injurious behavior (SIB) and had been wearing restrains mechanisms for more than two years to prevent injuries. The treatment sessions were conducted in the morning for one of the subjects and in the afternoon for the other subject in a multipurpose 12’ x 13’room in their residential building. The room contained a table, a desk, and three chairs. Fingernail clippers, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of white petroleum jelly were used, since the target behavior for both subjects was scratching. There was a radio playing soft music at a moderate volume during sessions. There also were several audio and visual activity materials available and placed on the table within the participants’ reach at all times during treatment. During sessions, only the therapist and the participant were in the room. Design and results Event recording was used to collect data during each 30 minute treatment session. Two hand held counters were used to record the target behavior. In order to constantly analyze data, and monitor the behavior, as well as avoiding possible medical concerns, each treatment session was divided into three 10 minute intervals. Initially a within-subject reversal design was in which baseline (A) and treatment (B) were alternated in an ABAB sequence, but due to frequent and severe self-injuries and for safety reas.

Running Head: SECURITY MODEL 1 SECURITY MODEL 7 SECURITY MODEL Institution Affiliation Student Name Date Abstract The concept of trusted computing has been in existence for a very long time. It has had an influence on security systems and solutions. In this paper, I will explain the history of TCB. Ways to implement trusted base computing. I will also explain some of the barriers and how to bypass them. Introduction The trusted computing base contains hardware, firmware and software that are essential in establishing as well as maintaining security. Moreover, it also includes an operating system with all specific system hardware, in-built security control, software and network hardware, (Ranganathan, 2017). When designing a trusted computing base provision such as access control, giving privileges, user authentication support, authorization of particular processes or systems, backing up information and protection against viruses and malware. It is the responsibility of a trusted computing base to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information. It monitors the input and output operations. History In December 1985, the United States Department of Defense put out the trusted computing system evaluating criteria that well-defined TCB. TCB can be understood when it performs as a centralized, trusted entity, (Scott-Nash, et al., 2016). The structures that get the uppermost level security accredited and certification have a centralized system design. The TCSEC accepted the view of peer trusted nodes describing them as members of the NTCB which protects the network system including the firmware, software and hardware. This combination is responsible for enforcing a security policy. How is the model implemented? TCB contains four security mechanisms, including authentication and identification, auditing, labelling and security policy. In order to understand how TCB is implemented and work. Let’s take the example of a bank—one of the most trusted icons in society today. When we make deposits, the money is recorded and safeguarded. It will be available when we want it back. We hardly consider the security mechanism in the back since we trust the banking system. All the mechanisms of TCB are in place. Before withdrawing money from the account, one is required to identify and authenticate themselves to the teller with the account number and signature. There is also discretionary access control that is who is authorized to withdraw money from the account. There are very few clerical problems since all the transactions that take place are audited. In development, the environment has to enforce the security model. Other concepts that are used when developing TCB include memory protection and handle, (Noorman, et al., 2019). This falls under the NIST requirement for assurance. When implementing TCB, it is essential to ensure that the application meets the basic requirements of NIST. Barriers The first barr.

It has eliminated the challenge of loss of data and made it easier to retrieve data. Enterprises are therefore able to thrive in the current era where clients require their needs to be met quickly and in their desired timing. However it is faced with the challenge of security, many do not understand their responsibility of making sure that the data is secure. The storage of data in the clouds has decentralized the IT department because in most cases they are not in control of the data due to the ease of access to the various cloud service providers, different departments within an enterprise which have different service providers. The security mechanisms are not comprehensive to cater to all the service providers. Requiring one to use multiple security measures. Hence there exist several loopholes that can be exploited by criminals impairing the steady operations of the victims. Imposing security on the cloud requires that a mechanism is put in place to not only protect but also detect the threats. This will help in planning how to counter react to any possible threat. It does also ensure that there is a study of the trends of such crimes.

Effects of a psych educational intervention program on the attitudes and health perceptions of relatives of patients with schizophrenia The article highlights the importance of both family and relatives to support the victim who has schizophrenia. Moreover, the article goes further and highlights the purpose of the study. The article assesses the effectiveness of a family psych educational program in the different outlook and health insights of the relatives of the patient with suffering from schizophrenia. Various programs aid in supporting both the family and relatives to gain more information about the schizophrenia and how they can best offer support to them. The psych educational program was efficient in adjusting to the caregivers’ outlooks. Nonetheless, the program did not influence the perceptions of healthcare. Moreover, the family and relative psych educational management program transforms the deleterious approaches of both family and relatives to schizophrenia. On the other hand, not all the agenda of this type may advance health difficulties; otherwise, their consequences might only appear in a long-term condition or situation. The psycho-educational plan gave an enhancement in the outlooks of families to schizophrenia. Besides, this signifies that they have known how to think, feel, and act, in a positive method in regards to the disorder. Seeing the unfortunate result of the majority of people who have schizophrenia, the process has made it possible for individuals to discover the influence of psych educational programs, which may aid indirectly or directly to advancing the quality and the course of life of these people and their families. Besides, it is vital to evaluate the efficiency of the agendas in diverse cultures and nations. 2.

However, establishing VPN is a complex task that requires making choices on what type of VPN and what VPN technologies to use. There are two types of VPN, but each type serves a different purpose. Further, establishing these types of VPNs require different hardware and software. Therefore, it is important to understand what is required for the type of VPN that one intends to establish. Above all, security is a major concern for VPNs. In addition to enjoying the benefits of VPN companies want to have their connection secure. This means ensuring data confidentiality so that the sent data is seen by the authorized users only. Data integrity defines that the data sent over the network is not altered or tampered with, and authentication entails users of the network to verify their identity. Different protocols provide different aspects of security. In addition, to set up a VPN one should choose the most appropriate protocol that offers the desired security elements. Therefore this paper explores VPN types, hardware and software required for the different types of VPNs and the VPN topologies. The paper starts with an introduction which is followed by a detailed discussion of VPN and the VPN types namely; the remote access VPN and the site to site VPN. VPN technologies continue within the paper and discusses how VPN meets the confidentiality, integrity and availability factors. Under the VPN technologies a more detailed discussion is provided for the IP Sec and GRE tunnelling and SSL VPN.

Dubois and Dumenil (2019) note, “Historians vigorously debate the long-term impact of the American Revolution on women’s lives. Some scholars argue that while white men enjoyed expanded legal and political rights in the postrevolutionary period, women’s relative status declined. Others contend that women developed a new consciousness that led to improved education and increased opportunities to influence public life. These historians also point out that the religious revival that preceded the Revolution, the First Great Awakening, similarly offered women a greater voice in the world beyond their homes” (p. 103). The American Revolution had a critical impact on women’s lives; they were contributors on the battlefield, whether as nursemaids or fighting in disguise, and they held vital roles as deputy husbands, maintaining the home front while spouses and male family members were fighting in the war. However, their legal rights were largely ignored, first via the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and subsequently, in the writing of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights between 1789 and 1791. This impacted women of all backgrounds, including African American, Native American, and white women, as well as upper and lower class women. The key debate revolves around whether the war and the immediate aftermath provided opportunities for women. Some historians contend that the war increased women’s influence on their families (the Republican Motherhood ideology), while others view the Revolution as detrimental due to continued exclusion of women from public life. In your essay, consider the perspective of authors Linda Dumenil and Ellen DuBois, as well as the varying perspectives of historians noted in the Unit 2 reading. Address your perspectives on the impact of the American Revolution. Did the American Revolution have a positive, negative, or limited impact on women? Consider the experiences of all women in the Revolutionary era, including African American, Native American, and white women, as well as women of the upper and lower classes. How did race and / or class status impact their experiences between 1750 and 1810? Select the experiences of two groups of women, and compare their experiences. For example: You could compare the experiences of upper class white women with those of African American women, or the experiences of lower class white women and the experiences of Native American women. In your essay, be sure to address your thoughts on whether the American Revolution an.

Running head: SECONDARY SOURCE INTEGRATION 1 SECONDARY SOURCE INTEGRATION 2 Secondary Source Integration Stereotypes are confirmation that certain specific roles are specifically designed for a particular gender or group of people. Stereotype play a critical role in the process of elimination of personal choices in various matters of interest. Living to the standards of the stereotypes caused a lot of physical and emotional damage to self since most of the expectations are usually unrealistic. The women's body image has experienced a lot of stereotypes because of the general quest for acceptance in society. Different scholars and authors share different views on the subject of women body's image. The women’s body image issue is strongly related to both physical aspect of the matter and the psychological aspect which is related to the attitude. Most of the cultures in the world reveal that women are greatly obsessed by the existing myth of beauty. The acceptance of these myths is influenced by the existence of various media influence that is consumed from television and social media (Stice et al., 2014). The effect of social media on behaviour and character is indisputable due to the fact that most trends in various parts of the world have been as a result of the power of social media. Therefore, most of the stereotypes on the state of the women body emanate from trending believes in the media. Over the years, the media has fuelled the belief that slim women are more attractive than those with a lot of body flesh. Additionally, the media has always hailed the light skinned women as beautiful and looked down upon the women with dark skins (Stice et al., 2014). The repercussion of these media influences has been great and contributed to some life-threatening decisions among the women. For instance, most dark skinned women have been taking different therapies and medication with the intention of making themselves beautiful in the eyes of society. Similarly, it is reported that most of the women who enrol in the gym program are pushed by the societal demand to slim in order to be accepted as beautiful (Stice et al., 2014). The gym programs and cosmetic industries have been booming recently due to the push from these beliefs in myths about women body. The infiltration of these myths into the hearts of the youths has been pushed mainly through social media and electronic media. The fitness programs are blended by the dieting process to achieve the desired body. It is a fact that most women strain in a quest to please the society. The quest for acceptance in the society makes the myths about women body seem true despite the fact that they are misguided. Most of the women fight for acceptance in society and this leads to extreme measures of changing their body to suit the needs of the society. It is generally reported that most women have suffered while trying to please society. The stereotype about women sends an unhealthy message to both men .

Running Head: SAUDI STUDENTS IN THE U.S SAUDI STUDENTS IN THE U.S Survey Report Saudi Students in the U.S Background The survey mainly looks to answer the question: the degree of safety that one feels while living away from their country. whereby the focus community in this case is the Saudi Arabia student community living in the United States. The main issue that is the focus of the paper is to prove that actually living away from you home country is stressful and one will not feel safe as compared to be living. This is normal, for everyone as they tend to start living in a new environment which actually has a very different culture than what one is sued to in their home country. So, this being obvious the exact item that needs to be identified is what is the Degree of safety one feels. The population includes all the people that are living in the United States and were previously lying in Saudi Arabia. Half of these correspondents are students and the other half did not specify their vocation. Form the population of six correspondents only one was female the other were males. The actual role I take among the group is non-participatory observer. It would be easy of the studying the community from an observation point of view. Methods There were typical methods that were used to collect the data for the survey, since the correspondents were from different geographical locations it meant that the methods that could be used would be limited. Observation: This technique of data collection was instrumental as it really helped to look at or observe the community of Saudi Students in the U.S. that were near me. The observation was feasible when I was able to interact with the population, mainly in studying institutions before things changed, but lately it was mostly through social media due to the circumstance. Through this one is able to identify their feedback especially if the topic at hand is brought up. Questionnaire: This was designed to be taken through online platforms, that helped in designing a set of questions to the correspondents. The questions obviously were carefully designed to revolve around the topic/ therefore form the answers of each respondent gave out a point of view that was able to understand their attitude towards this issue at hand. This method was the most instrumental because it helped in reaching different geographical locations which made the data collected more inclusive and not bias of only one area. Results The results were not at all surprising. The results were collected in a scale and all the correspondents were asked to mark the degree, which showed how safe they felt while living in the United States. The scale ranged from one to five, 1= very safe, 2= safe, 3= neither safe/unsafe, 4 = unsafe, 5= very unsafe. Two of the respondents said that they felt safe, three of the respondents felt neither safe/unsafe and one of the respondents claimed they felt very unsafe. Looking at the results i.

Running head: SARA LEE STRATEGIC AUDIT REPORT 1 SARA LEE STRATEGIC AUDIT REPORT 8 Strategic Audit of Sara Lee International Strategic Audit of Sara Lee International Sara Lee Corporation is a global producer and marketer of high-quality brand packaged products such as meats, beverage as well as bakery goods. The company’s major brands comprise of Jimmy Dean, Ball Park, Hillshire Farm, Senseo, Sara Lee, and Douwe Egbets. The organization boasts of five business segments, including, North American Retail, North American Foodservice, and North American Fresh Bakery. The other two categories are the International Beverage and the International Bakery. After many years of restructuring, acquisitions plus divestment, Sara Lee has emerged as one of the largest multinational organizations in the United States courtesy of its innovative culture (SEC, 2010). Sara Lee Corporation’s Corporate Culture While traditionally linked with taste and indulgence, the company has managed to produce a variety of products through innovation. Clements and Thompson (2011), single out Sara Lee’s Soft and Smooth whole grain white bread as an innovative product that has enabled the company to appeal to white bread lovers. The white bread appearance, soft texture as well as taste are particularly important to mothers who struggled with resistance from their young ones who despise coarser textured bread. Hence, the company’s innovative culture aligns with the company’s marketing goal and objective of producing high-quality products. For example, Lamb, Hair, and McDaniel (2011) indicate that Sara Lee’s chief executive officer welcomed innovation when she authorized reinvigoration of the company Kiwi shoe polish, which is one of its legacy brands. The chief executive communicates with consumers, marketers, and retailers to determine their preferences before pushing workers to outside the box. Sara Lee’s culture of innovation also aligns with the company’s business strategy. In 2004, the company unveiled a new brand segmentation strategy, Senseo product, and the single serve coffee system was brought into the United States market because of its innovative culture. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (2010) indicates that the company is committed to its long-term strategy of developing innovative products, focus on positive cash flow, and investment in the organizational structure. The company has also capitalized on the product development strategy to expand into other categories beyond its traditional frozen dessert brands. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission further asserts that the company’s business strategies are working, enabling it to move closer toward its goal of creating value for shareholders. Through brand segmentation strategy, the company is investing in different businesses.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
