/in , /by

Please do not bid unless you have the textbook: The Alcholoic Family In Recovery ( A Developemental Model) Stephanie Brown & Virginia Lewis.

NO PLAGARISM PLEASE. THIS IS TWO SEPARATE DISCISSIONS.

Learning Activity #2: Alcoholic Family System Discussion

  • Read Chapter 8 in your textbook by Brown & Lewis.
  • Prepare to share in discussion the following points.
    • List the six system mechanisms (structure and process).
    • Summarize in your words each of the six mechanisms as they relate to alcoholic family systems.
    • Reflect upon how alcoholic family systems maintain drinking.

Objective 2: Explain why feelings of despair and defeat are important for the individual moving into the Transition Stage.

In this week’s reading it is noted that “feelings of despair and defeat are essential to the recovery process,” which is what we will be exploring in this activity.

Learning Activity #3: Despair and Defeat Discussion

  • Read Chapter 9 in your textbook by Brown & Lewis.
  • Access The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the link below.

    http://www.aa.org/en_pdfs/smf-121_en.pdf
  • Prepare to share in discussion the following points.
    • Explain how the concepts of despair and defeat affect the various family members during the transition process.
    • Explain how the principles in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous relate to the concepts of despair and defeat.

Objective 3: Reflect upon how many people don’t see their need until they’ve hit the bottom.

Perhaps the issue of “hitting rock bottom” is illustrated best by Jesus in His parable of the “Prodigal Son.”

MBA 640 Leading in a Multicultural Environment

/in , /by

Hello,

Can you please update the Brand Analysis document to the following:

Paper needed much more brand specifics and support. Most sections were supported by one source only, and several sections lacked support. More/better research was needed. I suggest using reliable non-scholarly sources such as Reuters, Bloomberg, Yahoo! Finance, Barrons.com, Morningstar.com, Money, Forbes, Fortune, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and Harvard Business Review; as well as the UMUC Library databases such as Hoover’s and ABI-Inform.

More assignment help details below in order to update the report:

Complete Brand Analysis Report. Details Below:

Deliverable: Based on your research of the two companies’ brands, write an eight to nine-page report (four pages on each company) that addresses the following branding elements:

brand personality

brand image

brand identity

brand differentiation

brand positioning

brand communication

brand loyalty

brand equity (including financial equity)

As you examine these branding elements, your report should also answer the following questions:

How strong are the companies’ brands in the market?

What are the factors contributing to their strengths and weaknesses?

How are these two brands competing against each other? How strong is their global performance?

How do consumers perceive their brands?

Are there any sub-brands? Are there any brand extensions?

Your report should contain a one-page executive summary (following the cover page) that highlights the most important findings of your analysis. Also include a one-page table in an appendix at the end of the paper that compares the brand elements for the two brands.

Support your work with course readings, scholarly sources, and reliable nonscholarly sources, such as Reuters, Bloomberg, Yahoo! Finance, Barrons.com, Morningstar.com, Money, Forbes, Fortune,the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Harvard Business Review, as well as UMUC Library databases, such as Hoover’s and ABI-Inform. All sources have to be cited using APA formatting, both within the text and in the reference list.

Your final report to Carlos should be eight to nine pages, excluding cover page, executive summary, the reference list, and appendices. Any graphs, tables, and figures should be included as appendices. Your report should have one-inch margins and be double spaced in size-12 Times New Roman font. The report should be organized using headings and subheadings to improve its readability.

Art comparison essay

/in , /by

This is a GENERAL idea of what you will be covering in each essay. See each presentation for specifics:

Begin by reviewing the slides and watching all videos for the two artists. For each artist, please attend to the following when working on your written responses.

•Visually describe the artwork(s) (consider all your senses) – refer to the PDF’s under ART to help you with vocabulary.

•Describe the artist’s process. What media (paint, paper, clay, etc.) do they work with. What kind of artist (painter, sculptor, installation artist) are they?

•Describe what inspires the artist. Why do they make art the way they do?

•What is your overall impression of the work of the artist? What do you enjoy (and not enjoy) about this artist, their work and process? Be specific and give examples and please be honest – there will be art & artworks you connect to more than others. But, remember, you don’t have to want to hang the art in your living room to appreciate it – or see its value in society.

•What does it make you think about/remind you of? What themes do you see running through the work? What ties the separate pieces together?

•What statement does the artist and/or their artwork say about society and other big ideas (race, gender, social equality for example).

Please answer the questions in paragraph form. This is a significant portion of your overall grade so I expect you to put a significant amount of time and thought into these written responses. Each essay should be 650-750 words (2.5-3 pages double spaced).

AMST 100 Discussion

/in , /by

The film for the week is a horror film from the 90s many of you may have seen before. Using a more critical viewing eye, I want you to think about how the genre conventions play out in the film, and also how gender, sexuality, reality tv culture, teenage culture, and the threat of sexual violence against women play out in the film. Are the things we see play out in the film critiques of American Culture in general? Why or why not? Develop your Primary Post this week with those themes in mind, and be sure to provide specific examples from the film. 10 points

the frequency and severity of recent crises raise doubts about the system of crisis management now in place, and the incentives for private actions that it encourages and sustains.

/in , /by

the frequency and severity of recent crises raise doubts about the system of crisis management now in place, and the incentives for private actions that it encourages and sustains. Experts say the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has given too little attention to improving financial structures in developing countries and too much to expensive rescue operations. Its system of short-term crises management is too costly, its response too slow, its advice often seen incorrect to lending and repayment, and its efforts to influence policy and practice too intrusive.

Research a country that the IMF bailed out and discuss how the IMF impacted this country. 

1. Discuss the Factors

2. Discuss the Intervention

3. Discuss the consequences

Also research about the debt crisis or exchange rate crisis.

must be 5-6 full pages in APA format with 4 minimum references in APA style. In text citation must be included.

the country selected is Jamaica

Composing an Effective Paraphrase of a Source Passage

/in , /by

This Assignment provides more practice in the essential skill of paraphrasing. You will also learn how to incorporate a short quotation following APA style. In the Week 3 Discussion, you paraphrased a single sentence. In this Assignment, you will paraphrase a paragraph and include a short quotation in your paraphrase.

To prepare for this Assignment:

Think about Walden’s policy on academic integrity and review the Week 3 Resources on paraphrasing strategies and the proper use of quotations.

The Assignment:

Compose a two-paragraph essay in which you paraphrase the source passage below and analyze the process you used. In your first paragraph, paraphrase the source passage. Your paraphrase should contain 3–4 sentences and should include one short quotation. Make sure to include proper in-text citations, and place the quoted material in quotation marks. In your second paragraph, explain the challenges you encountered when paraphrasing the passage and the strategies you used to overcome these challenges. Make sure to follow the paraphrasing guidelines in the Week 3 Resources. Finally, include the reference for the source passage at the end of your paper.

Source passage:

“Student enrollment in online courses will continue to increase. In the past, taking an online course may have been viewed as advantageous for the conveniences it provided; however, it may soon become a necessity for many students to turn to online courses to pursue their academic aspirations. This will be true for many students who due to the economy and change in school loan rates, will be required to work full time to pay for their education. Recognizing this looming change in higher education, faculty and administrators must take note.” (Tolman, 2017, p. 583).
