write a well-organized and well-supported essay, English homework help

/in /by

write a well-organized and well-supported essay, in which you define one of the following: happiness, family, or freedom. Your essay must include no less than three points to support your definition.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the word you have selected to provide a foundation for a definition essay. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement that clearly states the word and supporting points. For example,

Success is working toward a goal, the powerful feeling of achievement, and the personal happiness and contentment in everyday life.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body of the paper. Will you divide the body of your paper into three parts, one for each point? Will you have one or two paragraphs for each supporting reason? In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph. For example, the first body paragraph for an essay with the thesis above might be,

Success is working toward a goal, whether big or small.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world. In this case, the conclusion might be a place to connect your reader to your definition of success and encourage him or her to consider the way(s) in which success exists in their everyday life.

Always be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 1 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English.

Papers must be double-spaced in Times or Times New Roman font (12 cpi) with standard one-inch margins.

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay, nor is the passive “you.” In place of “you,” “one” may be used.

No secondary sources are to be used in the process of writing this first paper; it is to be entirely written based on one’s point of view and supported with body points and details.

Assignment Expectations

  • Write an essay (no less than three pages in length) that states an original thesis statement on the definition of happiness, family, or freedom.
  • Include an introductory paragraph with thesis statement.
  • Include body paragraphs (each with a topic sentence that states the point of the paragraph) that support the thesis through examples and details.
  • Include a conclusion that summarizes the main points of the essay and/or leaves the reader with a lasting impression on the issue.
  • Proofread your essay for errors in grammar, diction (word choice), punctuation, and spelling

Change in an Organization

/in /by

Team in Transition

Al-tech Manufacturing has seen a downturn in the market which resulted in a reduction of sales and net income. In a move to improve profitability and reduce overall administrative expenses, senior management has decided to merge with a former rival company (Border Manufacturing). The offices of the two companies were merged which necessitated some layoffs.

You are a manager with Al-tech. Before the merger you had a team of twelve who were responsible for the administration of payroll. During the merger, your boss was let go along with four of your team members. You have two new team members (John and Kerry) from the Border Company.

John and Kerry come from a different part of the country, have a different work ethic and exhibit a different culture. They actively try to engage the existing payroll administration team members in finding ways to be more productive.

Your original team members’ response to these two new members suggestions range from hostility to curiosity as they were used to simply being told what to do.

Several members of your team have been adversely affected by the change. For example, Bob has told you that he is actively looking for a new job and Jill’s productivity has slowed. When asked why, she tells you she wants to know, in writing, what she needs to be doing different to meet the new reduced cost goal. Anne, who was the energetic one on the team, is now concerned that she will be the next one to go and has become very quiet.

It was your job to pull these team members together, to determine how to do payroll for the merged company with less staff, and therefore to reduce costs. And you succeeded!

You’ve been asked to write an article for your company newsletter, explaining what the situation was and how you succeeded in managing the change to your team.

Directions:

  1. Write a 3 to 4 page newsletter article as the manager of this fictitious company with a team as described above. Include the following points in this article:
    1. The classification and explanation of the change as either first-order or second-order.
    2. The challenges that team members felt due to the downsizing and the merger. Give two examples of each.
    3. The risks you anticipated and the mitigation steps you planned in dealing with the risks. Give an example of two risks, each with a mitigation plan.
    4. The types of resistance your team exhibited and what techniques you used in dealing with each type. Give three examples.
    5. The eight steps you took, using Kotter’s change management model, to engage your team in making the transition successful.
  2. Make sure to include at least 3 outside resources, one of which may be your text, to justify your suggestions. Your report should be professional and directed toward middle management.

Using your text book, the Argosy library, the Internet and other sources, research organizational change and apply it to the situation described above.

Submit your assignment to the Submissions Area.

can you give feedback to my classmate ( this not an essay) 100-150 word please

There are many development stages that kids should have before entering kindergarten. Motor skills development consists of kids using their fine motor abilities to allow kids to increase independence. They will be able to do small things like opening doors, button a button, brush teeth and wash hands. They will be doing all these things as kindergarteners. So hopefully parents will be helping their kids from the time they are boring to improve their motor skills. Cognitive skill development is very important because it involves the progressive building of learning skills, such as attention, memory and thinking. When kids can learn to pay attention they learn more and faster while learning to concentrate on one task for a period of time. While learning they improve their memory and this help kids to retain what they have learned or experienced this way they can start to build base knowledge. Thinking is very important to kids or anyone for that matter because thinking helps a person to figure out if they understand something or do they need some help with a particular task. Communication development also helps kids because this helps kids to express themselves appropriately while in class and home. Parents should take the time to help kids to learn how to express themselves in a respectful manner. To improve their language development from birth parents should have been reading to them and talking to them in a normal tone not baby talk this way they will improve their language skills quickly. By reading to your kids and having those to pronounce words properly this will improve their language development quickly. Social emotional development is the one that is very important to me because if your child can do all the other things then they will probably have social emotional development. This is where play comes in with your child. If your child plays with you and engage in puzzle games etc, they will be able to socialize very well and express their feelings to their parents and teachers.

Strengths and limitations of using this theory with
Margarita

Case Study: The Case of Margarita, Part 1

Margarita is a 26-year-old Puerto
Rican woman. She was born in Puerto Rico and moved to the United States as a
teenager. Her husband is African American and has lived in the United States
his entire life. The couple has been married for five years. They have two
children together, a boy age three and a girl age one.

Margarita is seeking counseling due to reported “anger
outbursts.” She states that she becomes so angry with her husband that she
thinks of physically harming him, although she does not remember anything that
he does specifically to provoke her anger. She denies any physical violence but
has gone as far as grabbing a knife and threatening him. She does respond to
his verbal attempts to calm her. She reports feeling relief after the
“explosion.”

Margarita has an MBA and is very intelligent. Recently, she was
accepted to law school and will be starting in three months. Her husband holds
a prominent position in their community and is 10 years older than she. She
states that he never gets angry with her and just tells her that “things
will get better.” In the assessment, you discover that it appears he is
somewhat of an enabler in that he minimizes her outbursts, but he is very good
to her. Margarita does admit that she is fearful that her husband will leave
her due to her behavior. She reports that they do not communicate well, he
maintains the house, and they rarely experience intimacy or sex.

Margarita also discusses feeling depressed most of the time, but she has
to put on a “game face” to do her work. Her husband and her parents
are the only ones who see her depressed side. She holds an important position
with the community development board in the county where she lives. She also
reports that she often experiences anxiety in social situations, avoids going
places where she may be socially judged, and has no friends, but she does feel
confident in structured work projects where she is in charge. She reports
having panic attacks on occasion and has had thoughts of suicide. She often
thinks that she is not pretty enough or nice enough to have friends, although
she truly wants to have quality friendships. She is always in a mode of
self-doubt and admits to constant negative internal dialogue.

She denies any drug or alcohol abuse or history. There is no physical
or sexual abuse in her past. She states she saw a counselor about six times in
college after the death of her best friend. She states she felt she should have
been the one who died in the car crash and not her friend, although she was not
even involved in the accident. She did not feel that the counseling was
helpful. At that time, she took Paxil but had an extreme negative reaction. She
is reluctant to take medication at this time.

Race and Ethnicity

/in /by

Our Discussion Board this week focuses on material covering the development of race and ethnicity as social and cultural ideas and includes the article by noted blogger, editor, professor, scholar, and journalist, Ta-Nehisi Coates in his bold and long-overdue analysis of the case for reparations in America. Please review the course material this week in the order it’s presented to you, with the Prezi Presentation, “Race: An Illusion with Consequences (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.” last (there are associated film clips and two short films included in the presentation).

Once you’ve had a chance to review everything, sit with it for a day or two. This is heavy material, no matter your race, ethnicity, age, or your knowledge of the history of race in America. It’s a challenge to all of us and deserves not only your undivided and undistracted attention, but it also deserves time. Spend some quiet time with this information, alone if you can, and maybe write in a journal for yourself.

This Discussion Board will be challenging (if it’s not, dig deeper) and it’s expected that you may find yourself outside of your comfort zone. This is okay. Sit with it. Being outside of our comfort zone when it comes to race keeps us accountable and open to learning more.

For this discussion forum, respond to three of the following questions, plus number ten for a total of four questions. This does not need to be an essay, but if you choose to write it as such, bold the questions where you’re answering them. Otherwise, just answer each one and number them accordingly. You do not need to answer them in order. Your answers should be 1-2 full paragraphs.

  1. What does Coates mean by “moral debt”?
  2. Why does homeownership differ so dramatically between Whites and Blacks?
  3. Who is Clyde Ross and why is he significant to the Coates’ article and story?
  4. Why does he think we all have a debt, “as Americans”?
  5. What effect did redlining have on Blacks and how is it still felt today?
  6. Why is “A Girl Like Me” significant in understanding the history of race in America?
  7. Who is Takao Ozawa and why is his significant to the development of “White” as a legal, racial category? What did his case ultimately do?
  8. What is meant by the title of the presentation, “Race: An Illusion with Consequences”?
  9. What are the key differences between Science and Society in the definition of Race?
  10. What can you do to push the conversation about race forward? What is your personal role?

Remember to demonstrate your understanding of the material and cite properly.

Your Initial Post of 2-3 paragraphs is due Thursday of this week.

follow instructions very closely

Part 1 has 2 questions; answer them both individually.

1. Share an example of an excess or deprivation that you have either been a part of as a nurse or patient.

  • For example, I remember a patient we had to treat in the hospital for a Crohn’s disease exacerbation because he hadn’t been taking his daily medications due to lack of insurance. I thought, how much cheaper it would have been to pay for his pills rather than the hospital care he required for his 5 day stay. This was before total implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) took effect. One of the earliest provisions of the ACA that did take affect was allowing children to stay on parent’s health insurance until the age of 26. He had been on his parent’s health insurance previous to his 26th birthday, but after this date, he couldn’t afford the cost of insurance or medications.

2. How have you seen the effect of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act?

Positive or negative? Why?

3) I would like you to investigate bills that concerned some aspect of health. This is a group effort & each group will get a different bill.
The bill assigned to your group is NM SB 281 for the 2017 regular legislative session.

a. What does this Bill say? Give a brief synopsis.

b. Who sponsored it? Why is it important for nurses?

While I could provide the link to aid you in your search, I think part of the learning is for you to find out what’s available to constituents with Internet access.
