Essay about The Great Dictator Movie for my English classes emphasis of comedy

/in /by

Needs to be done by Monday 26th of June 10.00 am central time. Around 1000-1250 words.the students will employ theories of Discourse Analysis, as well as all other readings, and develop a critical analysis on Chaplin’s The Great Dictator movie. The students will employ the theories of CDA in interpreting different cultural and social layers of the movie. The students have to use at least 3 scholarly and relevant sources to write their articles. This essay will go beyond a comparative analysis of rhetoric. The scholarly sources can work to provide a scholarly background about the subjects, or perform some analysis of the movie, or give some sort of critical understanding of it. The students will choose a single movie, analyze it based on the idea of discourse, and take a critical stance towards the movie in order to develop an argument. In developing the argument, the students must have at least 5 references to the movie scenes and cite them in MLA Style (refer to Purdue Owl). The sources you may use will come from your own research. You’re free to use sources from this class or your anchor courses, and you’re strongly encouraged to utilize the library’s resources to your best advantage.

Ancient History Paper

/in /by

For your second paper, you will read Suetonius’ biography of Nero and Pope Gregory’s biography of St. Benedict. The Nero reading can be found on Blackboard under course content. The Benedict reading can be found as at this site- https://muse-jhu-edu.montgomerycollege.idm.oclc.or…

You will have to put in your MC ID to access this reading. : M20932785

The paper should be at least 5 pages, 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, one-inch margins. I encourage you to use brief quotes from the readings to buttress your arguments. You must cite when quoting from the readings and whenever you choose to use outside sources (although you are not required to consult outside sources). Compare and contrast the these two individuals- Nero and Benedict. Focus especially on their character, their personality, their effectiveness as leaders, their family relationships. And compare the two biographers, Suetonius and Gregory. How is Gregory’s approach at writing biography similar to Suetonius? How do their attitudes to their subjects differ? Why do you think these authors are so different?

Individual Case Analysis Paper

CASE: When a New Manager Stumbles, Who’s at Fault? ( Please see the Individual Case Analysis attached below)

This assignment is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of the class material and your ability to effectively apply that material by providing a high quality analysis of the motivation problems in the case.You can effectively accomplish this assignment using only the materials we discussed in the class sessions on motivation and learning as well as the material in your textbook (most likely Chapters 5, 6 and 7). You should not use outside resources (e.g., the internet, other books) to complete this assignment.Note, this is an individual analysis, so you should not discuss the case, the concepts you plan to apply to the case, or any other aspects of your answers to the questions with others.

Questions to be addressed for the analysis:

In the case, three of Goldstone’s employees (i.e., Skrow, Puckett, and Durkee) are discussed.You will analyze the problems that two of these three employees are experiencing (i.e., you may choose whichever two employees you wish to analyze; do not analyze all three). Using a unique motivation theory/concept for each employee (e.g., if you use the expectancy model of motivation for one employee, use a different motivation concept/theory for the other employee) analyze the motivation problem the employee is experiencing.Clearly explain each concept you are using as well as how it helps to explain what is going wrong with the employee. Then, indicate what motivation strategies you would recommend the manager use for each person and why (i.e., explain what the manager should do to correct the problem(s) for each individual you identify and why your strategy would be effective). Note that the solutions should relate to the concept/theory you used to diagnose the problem.Your analysis of the problem and solution for each employee will likely differ. Thus, you should present a unique diagnosis when relevant, and provide a tailored strategy for each person you select.

Length and Format: The maximum word limit for the paper is 750 words (there is no minimum).You must be concise. Papers should be formatted as follows: Double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font.

You may find structuring the paper in the following manner to be helpful (you may discuss the employees in whichever order you choose):

Employee 1 – concept of your choosing

Employee 1 – solution

Employee 2 – concept

Employee 2 – solution

Please use headings and subheadings to organize your analysis.You do not need an introduction or concluding paragraph; save the word count for the analysis of the employees’ motivation problems and proposed solutions.Imagine the audience for your case analysis is another SJSU student who has not yet taken BUS 160 but who has read the case.Thus, you need to clearly explain the concepts you are using (i.e., you should be able to teach the construct to someone else in your own words), how the concepts apply, and why your solutions would work according to the theory you used.You should devote more page space to analyzing the motivation problems and describing solutions than to merely summarizing the details of the case.

References: You will need to cite any material you include from the case and class readings. I’m not particular about which style guide you use (e.g., MLA, APA) as long as it is clear whom and what you are citing.

  • If you would like to cite material you paraphrase from class lectures, you may do so by including the following information (Mullen lecture notes, lecture date).
  • If you would like to cite material from the textbook, you may do so by citing (George & Jones, year and page number if relevant).Page numbers are only required for direct quotations.
  • If you would like to directly quote material from the case, you may do by citing (Adler, pg. xx).Note, that direct quotations from the case are probably not necessary.

Evaluation: You will be evaluated on:

  • The accuracy with which you explain and apply the conceptual material from class discussions or the readings (e.g., does your application demonstrate understanding of the material, did you choose the most relevant conceptual material in your analysis).
  • The persuasiveness of your arguments (are your arguments compelling, did you sufficiently explain your reasoning?).
  • The effectiveness of your proposed remedies to address the problems identified in the analysis. Be sure to explain clearly why these remedies would be effective.
  • The extent to which your analysis is organized and written in a clear and concise manner.
  • Professionalism: Proper use of grammar, spelling, etc.Please proof your papers.
  • Please consult the rubric on Canvas before beginning your assignment.

How to turn it in:

  • Upload the paper to Canvas by the deadline.
  • The paper needs to be saved as LastName_FirstName_ICA.
  • Please give yourself “buffer” time in case you encounter difficulties uploading the assignment.
  • Papers should be submitted as word documents.

Late assignments. Late assignments – no matter how soon after the deadline they are uploaded – will be marked as late and will receive a 20% grade reduction for the assignment. Each subsequent 24 hours that passes after the assignment is due will result in an additional 20% reduction. Thus, after five days no late assignments will be accepted.

Academic integrity. This is an individual analysis, so you should not discuss the case, the concepts you plan to apply to the case, or any other aspects of your answers to the questions with others.The one exception is that you may get help from the staff at the writing center to improve your writing.Collaborating or discussing the case with others is a violation of academic integrity. I trust that each student will author her or his own work. Papers that closely resemble each other will be cause for suspicion. If a student has any concern about whether a certain action might violate the Academic Integrity Policy, ask Professor. It is better to ask than to assume. Papers will be run though TurnItIn which is integrated in Canvas. This software will compare each assignment to all other assignments from this class and previous classes as well as with any other online content. Please also review SJSU’s plagiarism guidelines: http://info.sjsu.edu/static/catalog/integrity.html

Consider the poem “Blackberry Eating,” draft a debatable statement

/in /by

Consider the poem “Blackberry Eating,” Draft a debatable statement about what the poem means from your perspective. What are the points you would make in an analysis? What specifics in the poem can you use to develop and illustrate those points?

I love to go out in late September
among the fat, overripe, icy, black blackberries
to eat blackberries for breakfast,
the stalks very prickly, a penalty
they earn for knowing the black art
of blackberry-making; and as I stand among them
lifting the stalks to my mouth, the ripest berries
fall almost unbidden to my tongue,
as words sometimes do, certain peculiar words
like strengths or squinched,
many-lettered, one-syllabled lumps,
which I squeeze, squinch open, and splurge well
in the silent, startled, icy, black language
of blackberry — eating in late September.

Discussion: Core Competencies of Leaders and Managers in Healthcare Settings

Discussion: Core Competencies of Leaders and Managers in Healthcare Settings

Note: Initial postings must be 250-350 words (not including references).

Direct care settings [noun]
“Those organizations that provide care directly to a patient, resident or client who seeks services from the organization” (Buchbinder & Thompson, 2010, pp. 33–34).

Non–direct care settings [noun]
Organizations “not directly involved in providing care to persons needing health services, but rather support the care of individuals through products and services made available to direct care settings” (Buchbinder & Shanks, 2019, pp. 1–2).

One of the many differentiators in terms of healthcare leadership is setting. Healthcare leaders and managers may choose to work in settings that provide direct services, such as a hospital or clinic—or nondirect services—such as a community health foundation. Why might healthcare professionals choose to work in one path over another? And what particular characteristics, roles, and functions are needed to successfully manage one type of setting over another?

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Complete the readings in your Learning Resources.
  • Review the profiles of the various healthcare managers who work in a healthcare setting in this week’s Required Media. (Click on the organizational charts to learn more about the healthcare professionals in direct, nondirect, and physician practice settings.

References:
Buchbinder, S. B., & Thompson, J. M. (2010). Career opportunities in health care management: Perspectives from the field. Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett.

By Day 4

Post a comprehensive response to the following:

  • Explain the roles and functions of healthcare managers and leaders in direct and nondirect service healthcare settings.
  • Select one individual from a direct care setting and one individual from a nondirect setting in either the Welcome to Waldenville or the Good Samaritan Hospital’s Organization Chart—Week 1 media, and describe their core competencies.
    • How are these core competencies of the featured leaders similar and different?
    • In which setting would you prefer to work, and why?

Please be sure to cite your resources using APA style within your post. Please try to select specific public health examples that are different from those posted by your classmates for this discussion.

Cultural Norms Fact Sheet

/in /by

  • Select a culture/race different than your own. Research: 1) nutrition related health issues/disparities of concern for the population (e.g., diabetes, CVD, obesity, etc.); 2) cultural norms/environment influencing eating behaviors; and 3) strategies/resources to promote healthy eating incorporating cultural norms/environment. For example, your fact sheet might be titled, A Snapshot of Hispanics: Culture, Diet & Health; a first section titled, The Impact of Poor Eating Habits; a second section titled, The Influence of Culture & Environment on Eating; and a third section titled, Incorporating Culture to Improve Eating Habits. You should find the necessary information in the data sets discussed in Ch. 10, the list of websites in Appendix 6, and general web searches on your population.
  • Fact sheets should include: a title; your name/date created in bottom footnote; at least 1-2 images/pictures: at least 3 bulleted facts for each section; a list of at least 3 professional references used on the back/bottom in APA format; and be 2 pgs. and professional in appearance.

Civil War paper

Required Length of Your Paper

Researching and References in Your Paper

List of Sources for Your Paper

Grading Rubric

After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. Reconstruction was partly a period of military occupation of the south by the northern victors. Former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Take one of the positions as suggested below, draw from the sources listed, and present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.

Possible position—in each case you can take the pro or con position:

  1. The Lost Cause narrative of the South effectively sabotaged and influenced racial policy in the US for most of the post-Civil War period. (or you can take the position that it did not)
  2. Political policies in the decades after the Civil War generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that political policies did not)
  3. Reform movements between 1865 and 1930, like the Progressives and the agrarian populists, generally led the way to increased democracy. (or you can take the position that these movements did not)

After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.). Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:

  • The position you choose (from the list above)—or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
  • To support your position, use three specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1930. You may narrowly focus on race or gender or immigrant status, or you may use examples relevant to all categories.
  • Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
  • Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession?

Length:
The paper should be 500-to-750 words in length. This normally means 3-to-4 pages for the body of the paper. (The title page and Sources page do not count in these calculations.) Double-space between lines. Format instructions are below.

Review the Strategy Questions for Organizing Your Argument Essay in Chapter 5, and write 1000 word response

/in /by

For strong papers, be sure to include an introduction that has a clear focus with background information on the topic and an argument sentence that includes (1) the title of two of the readings in the chapter and (2) specific claims that can be supported with evidence. Lead into your argument by providing some background information or details that narrow the focus to your claims. For background information for this academic paper, use articles from the university library databases (collections of articles).

Body paragraphs should each have a structural main idea statement that connects to one of the claims given in the argument sentence. Following that structural element, provide specific evidence (not personal opinions) and follow each piece of evidence with your own words to interpret and to connect the evidence to your argument.

The conclusion should be based on evidence presented within the argument essay.

Be sure to use MLA documentation standards, to use third person objective consistently (omitting references to yourself with “I” or the reader of your paper as “you,” and to edit carefully for spelling, complete sentences, and continuity of focus.

Chapter Activity #2 at the end of Chapter 7.

Judging others is human nature. Some of us may practice fighting the urge to be judgmental more than others, but it is a very active battle. (This part of the writing assignment is not the topic. It is some general statements to approach the analysis for your next argument essay. This is to begin the thinking process of an approach to use on the literature assigned this week.)

What lessons can you argue the characters from “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “Young Goodman Brown” teach readers on the dangers of being judgmental? (Here the assignment, which is a comparison argument, focuses on two specific readings from the module. In an argument sentence, both of the titles should be included, and the claims that are made must pertain to both readings. The theme is generally focused on faulty human judgments. Characters may be racists or may jump to conclusions based on faulty information to form their judgments. Decide on your own approach on human judgment. You might notice that both stories use foreshadowing and symbolic objects and events that represent important concepts that you can use. )

(This writing assignment description does not specifically point to research, but it is always wise to provide evidence from reliable sources in your academic writing.)
