Literary critical theory is a tool that helps you find meaning in stories, poems, and plays. When we read literature we learn more about human condition, loss and death, and the power of society and how it is implemented around race/gender The psychology of the characters provide a general history of cultures that produce specific pieces of of literature. It analyzes fictional characters using the concepts, terms, and methods of psychological theories.

The Author doesn’t simply write exactly what happened. Instead, he or she uses literacy devices that add texture, energy, and excitement to grip the reader’s imagination and covey information. Irony is a literary technique that is used throughout the story, through the character or as the plot develops. Cosmic irony is one of my favorite tools, in which fate appears to be playing a cruel joke on some of the characters, some know it as ( “poetic justice”).

Literary theory offers various approaches for understanding the role of historical context in interpretation as well as the relevance of of linguistic and unconscious elements of the text. Historicism analysis traces the history  and evolution of the different genre; narrative, dramatic, lyric, and in addition to the more recent emergence of the novel and short story. However, it also investigates the importance of formal elements of literacy structure. The author helps to explain culture in his or her texts. The key to understanding the history of psychoanalytic literary criticism is to recognize that literary criticism in books, poems, and short stories is in the mind. Therefore, the psychoanalytic critic can only talk about the minds associated with the book. Freud spelled them out in his very first remarks on literature in a letter on Fliess in October 15, 1997 in which he discussed Oedpus Rex. He applied the idea of conflict to the audience response to Oedipus and the character of Hamlet. Hamlet’s inability to act, and he speculated that the role of Oedipal’s guilt in the life of William Shakespeare. From the beginning of this field to the present, that vast of characters has never changed; author, audience, or some person derived from the text.

In the early stage of psychoanalytic criticism, the critics did more than identify Oedipus’s complexities and the symbolism of literature. The critic would relate to the “slip of the tongue” or the phallic symbol to the mind of the author.

I think psychoanalysis acquires a complex theory of justification and literary critics became able to trace defenses as well as fantasies in their stories. This allows the audience to modulate and direct their feelings to past experiences and everyday life. Today, I believe psychoanalysis has become a psychology of the self. When the author follows a general pattern of psychoanalytic criticism, the reader can evolve from the story.

Post colonial Literature is a body of ideas that an author uses to formulate literary interpretation on ethnic criticism, cultural diversity, and gender identity. works of literature that are defined as post colonial often record racism, slavery, apartheid, and migrant workers. In the 1930’s, the author John Steinbach focussed on the powerlessness of the laboring class. He was a ceaseless experimenter throughout his career. Steinbach wrote three powerful novels pertaining to Americas issues with cultural diversity, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, and East of Eden (1952).

I believe that definition of post-colonialism may be fairly fringed, the actual term is very subjective. There seems to be a debate whether the extent to which post colonial theory speaks to the audience as well as the author. I found this research very informative. I read all these books in high school and didn’t realize how deep the readings were.

Final Paper

During each week of the course, you have covered various issues and trends associated with the U.S. health care system. For your Final Paper, you will apply the knowledge that you have gained throughout the course and the program of study by analyzing key health policy issues from the perspective of major stakeholders in the U.S. health care system.

The U.S. health care system has been shaped by numerous policies that have been established over a long period. Utilize at least five scholarly sources, including a minimum of three from the Ashford University Library. In an eight- to ten-page paper address the following:

1. Describe general policy making viewpoints that exist today on each of the following health care issues:

   1. Access to Care
   2. Cost of Care
   3. Quality of Care
2. Analyze the roles of the five major stakeholder groups or subgroups listed below in influencing health care policy formulation relative to the following issues: access to care, cost of care, and quality of care. Support and justify your ideas with appropriate research. Based on your research, explain the general position or stance of each group or subgroup as it relates to each of the listed issues (access to care, cost of care, and quality of care).
   1. Governmental agency (e.g., County Medical Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
   2. Health care professional association (e.g., American Medical Association, American Nurses Association)
   3. Direct or indirect health care providing organization (e.g., hospital, long-term health care facility, pharmaceutical manufacturer, managed care organization)
   4. Politicians (e.g., political party, President, U.S. Senate)
   5. Patients (e.g., general population, special populations)
3. Evaluate the pros and cons associated with the involvement of the stakeholders in each group or subgroup in health care policymaking, including their position and their influence on the issues.
4. Predict the future direction of health care policy on each of the issues (access to care, cost of care, and quality of care). From the perspective of a health care administrator, include a critical reflection on the social, cultural, economic, ethical, and regulatory implications as well as the changes required to promote the outcome that you envision. Devote at least one paragraph to each of the issues listed above.

ABC Company, Inc. has been in existence for 10 years. They have 50 employees, currently have one location, and they only manufacture one product: widgets. They have managed to stay in business by holding onto a small portion of the widget market, but they are far from the market leader. Over the last 5 years, their market share has stayed more or less stagnant. The president of the company is an older gentleman and mostly works from home. He makes decisions through meetings with his managers over the phone and is rarely seen at the company. Mid-level managers don’t have much contact with each other and basically focus exclusively on their individual departments. The rest of the staff members are very distrustful of management and there has recently been a lot of turnover. Outside of interoffice griping, there is rarely any company wide communication.

Recent economic developments and technological advances in the widget industry have resulted in a greater demand for widgets in emerging markets, as well as in the U.S. In order to stay competitive, ABC Company is considering expanding its operation globally. ABC has come to you, an expert on organizational change, for consulting advice. Evaluate ABC’s current OCC. What advice would you provide in order to better position ABC to successfully implement this change? Be as thorough and specific as possible, covering as many issues as you can.

Guidelines for Submission: Short papers should use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to a discipline-appropriate citation method. Page-length requirements: 1–4 pages.

Catfish is a fictitious deepwater
oil field, located in the Gulf of Mexico, which has been appraised but remains
undeveloped. Hence, there is no production history available yet. The field is 1,000-ft
of water and the reservoir is at a depth of 10,135-ft below seabed level. The
development of this field will consist of wet tree completions with a subsea wellhead.
The fluids will be transported via a flowline from the wellhead/choke to a host
platform located 20 miles away (Horizontal distance). The host platform is 1,000-ft
above sea bed and the platform deck rises 50 ft above mean sea level. You have
basic PVT, reservoir, well and network configuration data to investigate
different development scenarios.
