This document provides guidance on taking a stand and expressing opinions. It discusses how expressing opinions can be difficult when they conflict with others, but it is important to discern what to believe. When trying to change views or persuade others, thoughts must be clarified honestly while considering other ideas respectfully. People need to take a stand, even on small issues, to create change. The document then provides strategies for effectively making and supporting a stand, such as understanding different perspectives, linking to common goals, backing up arguments with data, and creating a compelling narrative.

9.4 Confronting Disagreement
By employing the principles of accuracy and charity, and by effectively criticizing arguments, there can be constructive disagreement that avoids heated emotions and verbal aggression.
Mastering the skills of identifying and constructing arguments is not easy, but at this stage you should feel fairly confident in your command of such skills. The big test now is how you will react when someone disagrees with your argument or when you disagree with someone else’s argument. Although advancing an argument does not require an interaction, as mentioned in Chapter 2, disagreements are bound to occur. Many of us likely prefer to avoid disagreements. Indeed, many people are terrified of debating a point because they fear offending others or worry that a debate will only bring out the worst in everyone, quickly escalating into an emotional display of verbal aggression and “I’ll show you!” attitudes on both parts. Few truly gain from or enjoy such an exchange. This is why most people avoid addressing touchy subjects during holiday dinners: No one wants a delicious meal to end with unpleasantness. However, few gain from allowing contested issues to go unchallenged, either, whether you are simply stewing in resentment over your uncle’s unenlightened remark about a group of people or whether society fails to question a wrongheaded direction in public policy. Not knowing how to disagree in a calm, productive manner can be quite problematic. We should recognize, however, that some do like the tension of the battle and find the raising of voices and the test of quick retorts very exciting. Even so, all they gain is the confirmation that they can win by being the loudest, most articulate, or most aggressive. Unfortunately, this is an illusion, since quieting the opposition does not amount to having convinced them.
The solution to this common problem is threefold. The first part involves clearly articulating premises, examining the coherence of the argument, and identifying the support for each claim. This part is the most technically difficult but is already within your reach, thanks to the standard argument form. As we have discussed throughout this book, being able to draw an argument buried underneath filler sentences, rhetorical devices, and such allows us to grasp the meaning and coherence of what is being communicated. In this section, we will closely examine another factor in identifying arguments: the correct interpretation of an argument. We will call this the principle of accuracy.
The second part is not technically difficult, because it is an attitude or state of mind. In ordinary idiomatic language, it is referred to as giving a person the benefit of the doubt, letting someone have his or her say, or putting suspicion aside. In other words, we should judge others and their ideas fairly, even if we may be less than inclined to do so. Philosophers call this attitude the principle of charity.
Finally, the third part involv.

2. Discuss effective leadership strategies used by healthcare managers in the health services
setting to include adaptation and transformation, communication strategies, and conflict
resolution.
Reading Assignment
Chapter 3:
Leading Health Care Change, pp. 35-44
Unit Lesson
As you think about effective leadership strategies used by healthcare managers, what strategies come to your
mind? This unit lesson will provide practical strategies and real world examples on four such strategies:
adaptation, transformation, communication, and conflict resolution.
Adaptation
It is common that leaders with longevity in a company, who have weathered changes, to be adaptable. There
is a great saying, “You bend, or you break.” We can go with the flow and adapt, or we can be rigid and crack.
We can adapt to the ever-changing winds of health care, or we can kick the bricks.
The ability to adapt is really marked by the maturity to accept what we cannot change. Such maturity creates
solace (while being vehemently inflexible tends to create discontent and disharmony). There are times when
you need to stand up for what is right, and when that happens it is important to choose your approach wisely.
Sometimes saying nothing at all is the best course. Benjamin Franklin, a master of diplomacy (and one who
arguably helped us win the Revolutionary War by diplomatically gaining the involvement of the French) said,
“Best is the tongue that feels the rein; he that talks much, must talk in vain” (Morgan, 2007, p. 25).
Being adaptable is the wisdom to hold our tongues and thoughts on that which we cannot control, but it is also
the ability to be sagacious (to have a keen mental discernment) in reading a person or situation, then
changing our approach as needed. Some situations may call for your soft response and some may require a
more firm response.
This concept of tailoring and being flexible with your leadership style is captured well in the book Situational
Leadership and the One-Minute Manager by Blanchard, Zigarmi, and Zigarmi (1985). Blanchard is credited
with coining the term "situational l.

This document provides more information about the portfolio project and guidelines to complete each
content area to the best of your ability. Use the information here and contained in the syllabus to answer
initial questions you may have. And don’t forget to include citations for every piece of text you reference
or use to help you formulate your own work. You can either include a short works cited/bibliography at the
end of each content area, or one large works cited/bibliography encompassing all content areas. Any style
is fine so long as it is consistent.
Meeting
You need to schedule a 30-minute meeting with me during the term. You should bring two content areas of
your choosing with you for review. These need to be full first drafts, not merely ideas or notes. I will read
as much as time permits to provide you feedback on how to improve these pieces of writing and approach
the remaining content areas. I will also give you a sense of where you stand with your APC grade.
Fallacies
For the fallacies content area, you should find examples of fallacies committed in texts or videos.* If all
else fails, create a dialogue between different persons that represents fallacious arguments you have heard
in the past or in which you were personally involved. After providing the fallacy, you should identify the
fallacy and then explain how this text, video, or dialogue commits this fallacy.
Students usually complete this section in one of three ways. One option is to provide a number of
examples with brief explanations (roughly 5-8 fallacies). The second option discusses fewer fallacies in
more depth (roughly 2-3 fallacies). Finally, other students take up some issue of the day and locate a
number of fallacies in arguments surrounding that issue. This third option usually involves discussing
fewer fallacies in depth as well, thereby overlapping with the second option.
Morals and Markets
While some people attempt to respond to the overall claims of Sandel’s book – and this is all well and good
– I encourage everyone to focus on at least two concrete cases or scenarios he raises. This will allow you
to provide a more in-depth response or investigate a case even further. Some people also use this as an
opportunity to perform light research in order to substantiate or criticize various points in the book. Feel
free to bring in other cases that display a dilemma of norms in a market-driven culture.
* You should not simply repeat fallacies from our textbook, another logic textbook, or some website
dedicated to explaining fallacies. There would be no point to such an exercise. The purpose is to display
that you can apply the concept of a fallacy to real-world cases, not ones already identified by others.
Finally, if you are wondering why I have included thi ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. What I Need To Know
Expressing our opinion on a certain
issue is one of the toughest things to do for
there are times that our ideas are in conflict
with the others.
However, it is our responsibility to
discern what to follow and what to believe
in.
3. When you want to change people’s
points of view or to persuade people to a
particular action or behavior, your thoughts
have to be clarified and articulated honestly
and accurately and to consider the ideas of
others in a respectful and critical way.
We have to take a stand no matter how
small the issue is because by doing so, it
will bring change.
4. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY
(MELC):
Take a stand on critical issues brought up in the
materials presented or read.
Objectives:
Discuss your stand in a certain situation
Show consideration on someone’s reaction or
stand
Analyze the problem before giving a stand
5. ACTIVITY 1: Express Your Feelings
Directions: Analyze the picture below. As a student,
what realization were you able to come up?
6. Activity 2: Ponder On Me
Directions:
Sing the song “Heal the World” and ponder on the
message it conveys.
7. Analysis
Ponder on the message conveyed in the song, Heal
the World” by answering the questions that follow:
1.What is the message of the song?
___________________________________________
____
2. What does the composer of the song want us to
do?
___________________________________________
____
8. How to Make Your Stand
1. Get the “Lay of the Land” –
It’s crucial to understand where your key
stakeholders stand on the issue that tells you where
you will need to do some pre-work ahead of time
and damage control after the fact. But now it’s time
to be more systematic in thinking it through.
9. 2. Link to the Common Goal-
When you’re taking a stand, it’s most powerful when
you can bring others along with you. This is also
how you create the best chance of making change
and not ending up as the ineffective voice in the
wilderness.
10. 3. Back it up with Data-
This will appeal to those detail-oriented people who
are only persuaded by analysis and logic.
11. 4. Create a Compelling Narrative-
Just because something makes sense in your mind
doesn’t mean it will instantly make sense to
everyone. You have to craft your case so it’s easy
for others to get right away. Putting together your
case in the form of a storyline will help you ensure
that your rationale is clear in your own mind and
that your logic is impeccable.
12. REMEMBER!
An argument is a piece of writing which is sometimes
called persuasive writing because it aims to convince
the reader about a certain stand on debatable issue.
Argumentative essay conveys opinions that are
proposed as true and justifiable. It is for this reason that
an editorial is the most outstanding example of
argumentative writing, although persuasion is also really
identified in campaign speeches or even print
advertisements.
A controversial issue always lies at the heart of
argumentative essay . The argument may be in favour of
(pro) or against (con) the said issue.
13. To persuade the readers through logical reasoning and analysis,
use the techniques below:
Techniques in Argumentation
1. Analogy. There is an assumption that two
things similar in one aspect are alike
in another aspect.
Example: Capitalists are like vampires.
14. 2. Comparison-Contrast. This teaching presents
the similarities and/or differences of
two major concerns.
Example: Beauty versus Brawn
(Beauty ensures permanent and remarkable
success, Brawn ensures temporary success.)
15. 3. Definition. These techniques give a meaning
or several meanings to a concept that
forms the argument.
Example: Feminism
Feminism is not about hating men. It is about celebrating the
power of women side by side with men.
16. 4. Analysis.
It is a technique that takes a part from the
whole and scrutinizes it to prove the
point.
Example: career choice
One’s personal interest determines her choice of a career
because it is her natural response to life in general (personal
interest apart from the skills, resources, etc.
17. APPLICATION
