Essay on the Issues of Race in the United States.

/in /by

Utilizing all our readings and discussions and your notes on Interpreting Poetry, Literary Analysis, Critical Approaches to the study of literature, and Figures of Speech, choose a topic of your choice and write a paper of 700-1000 words capturing your understanding of the issues of race in the United States.

Your Essay should have only five paragraphs in the format of the Traditional College Essay. You must have a thesis (not a purpose statement) and thesis support. You are not allowed to use the first person point of view. Be sure to quote and cite sources correctly. You should have at least five sources. Revise and proofread your content for sentence structure and punctuations before uploading your paper.

Avoiding Plagiarism:

To avoid both accidental plagiarism and plagiarism proper, you must provide citation for all borrowed materials in your paper. Whether you quote, paraphrase, or summarize information from any source, you must provide citation indicating to whom the idea belongs. (See your Handout on MLA style.) Along with the quotations and citations you have within the paper, known as in-text citations, you should provide a works cited page. Please see the handout on “MLA Styles” on the Announcement Forum.

Assignments must be submitted on the posted due date. If your assignment is late, you will lose points. Let the professor know ahead of the assignment due date of any difficulties you have submitting your assignment on the established due date. After the due date and time, five points will be deducted (based on an assignment grading scale of 100 points) for every 24 hours that the assignment is late.

Objective: Students will examine the literature of diverse writers/authors and create a literary analysis that identifies the author’s theme that is relevant within the work.

Directions: Type a well-developed literary analysis that identifies the theme of the author’s work (Length 5 to 8 pages). The theme is in essence the issues that are presumed within the work. An analysis of the work should be presented with in the essay to reveal the theme. The essay should contain the following information:

  1. Thesis statement: Typically, your thesis will be a statement asserting the presence and importance of a specific theme in the work.
  2. Supporting paragraphs: 1) trace and demonstrate the presence and prevalence of the theme in the story (using specific references and examples), and 2) analyze and interpret the theme’s significance—the view that the book expresses about it.
  3. Documentation: Documentation is used within the essay (parenthetical citation) as well as a well-documented works cited page.

Discussion 1- Variations in Approaches to Care

Choose a specific culture or ethnicity of an immigrant or refugee population.

  • Analyze their cultural and social norms.
  • Discuss how they experience the healthcare system in America.
  • Include an evaluation of how both the community and market-oriented approaches to health care, as highlighted in Chapter 10 of your text, can assist your chosen culture in getting the care they need. Provide an analysis of a multidisciplinary approach that can be used to deliver the best care to your population.
  • Discuss a program in your community, or the nearest large community, that serves immigrants and refugees. Are the services truly accessible to a wide population of immigrants and refugees? Identify one approach which could improve accessibility, cost, or the quality of care for the population. Discussion 2- Making a Difference
    Imagine you are a policymaker for your city or town. Based on what you know
    and what you have learned in this course, what would you modify or improve to
    make a positive change in the life of a vulnerable group we have not covered in
    class? Justify whether or not you would consult the vulnerable group when
    developing programs or policies? Propose a policy you would create to
    improve health care services accessibility, cost, and quality related to your
    selected group?

Critique article

/in /by

Use the school online library and review a scholarly article found in a peer-reviewed journal related to HR selection methods, analyzing work, designing jobs, or HR planning. In peer-reviewed journals, the articles were reviewed by other professionals in the field to ensure the accuracy and quality of the articles, which is ideal when writing an article critique.

Research tip: When researching using the databases, you can limit your search to only peer-reviewed articles. To do this, look for the phrase “limit results,” and select “peer-reviewed articles.”

Once you have selected your article, follow the below criteria:

 There is a minimum requirement of 500 words for the article critique.

 Write a summary of the article. This should be one to three paragraphs in length, depending on the length of the

article. Include the purpose for the article, how research was conducted, the results, and other pertinent

information from the article.

 Identify the selection criteria and methods and how they relate to hiring at the organization in the article.

 Discuss the meaning or implication of the results of the study that the article covers. This should be one to two

paragraphs. This is where you offer your opinion on the article. Discuss any flaws with the article, how you think it

could have been better, and what you think it all means.

 Write one paragraph discussing how the author could expand on the results, what the information means in the

big picture, what future research should focus on, or how future research could move the topic forward. Discuss how knowledge in the area could be expanded.

Any sources used, including the textbook and the article, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

Answer ONE of the prompts displaying critical and creative thinking.

/in /by

Pick 1 Prompt:

MINIMUM: 450 words MAXIMUM: 500 words. 0% Plagiarism

Prompt 1
In Pope Francis’ 2015 address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, he said: “Let us remember the Golden Rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ (Mt 7:12). This Rule points us in a clear direction. Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves.”

Prompt 1 question:
While Pope Francis was speaking to elected leaders when he made these remarks, he was reminding all leaders of our obligations to each other. How do leaders and decision makers in any organization keep the Golden Rule in mind while striving for distinction and success?

Prompt 2
Speaking about education, Dr. Martin Luther King once said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.’’

Prompt 2 question:
Critical thinking is a central goal of Jesuit education, and at LMU you’ll be asked to think critically and intensively in every class. Dr. King suggests that critical thinking results in our ability to inform intelligence with character, and strengthen character with intelligence. Please talk about a situation that demanded critical thinking from you, and how your choices or decisions integrated intelligence and character.

Prompt 3
A motto often associated with Jesuit and Marymount schools is ‘‘Educating men and women for others.’’ Fr. Pedro Arrupe, the former head of the Jesuits, once said that ‘‘our prime educational objective must be to form men and women for others, who believe that a love of self or of God which does not issue forth in justice for the least of their neighbors is a farce.’’

Prompt 3 question:
What do you think Fr. Arrupe meant when he said this? Please give an example of someone you know, other than your teachers and parents, who works for justice for the least of their neighbors.

Future of HRM and Industrial Relations

/in /by

The CEO has asked you and Jane to create a chart that he might use as part of his decision process in deciding what countries in which to locate overseas factories. He also wants an accompanying recommendation summary from an HR perspective.

  • Prepare a 6-column, 5-row chart for the following countries and parameters:
    • Columns (countries) are:
      • Japan
      • Mexico
      • India
      • China
      • Italy
      • Germany
    • Rows (factors to research) for each country are:
      • Average manufacturing wage
      • Country’s minimum wage
      • Typical restrictive work rules where there are unions
      • How unions enhance or detract from company results
      • Country’s unemployment rate
    • It is unlikely that you will find all of the necessary data in one online database. Instead, you will have to research a number of different ones.
    • In addition, in some cases you may have to make calculations from a “base=100” report to get an actual dollar figure.
  • Ensure that you cite the references used, in proper APA format.
  • Your recommendation summary should explain which country you recommend for the future overseas expansion, based solely on the data in your chart.
