Discussion
What is the current U.S. population? What is the current world population? Considering those numbers, do you think the United States is in a population crisis? Do we have enough land and resources to support a continuous increase in population? Should we, as a nation, concentrate on controlling our population or controlling resource use?
Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”
RESPOND TO OTHET STUDENT’S COMMENT BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Over population leading to a food crisis is a good topic and leads to food  manufacturers and producers using uunnatural means of making food look better, taste better (arartificially), and grow faster (of course unnaturally. ) This in return makes it unsafe for us the American consumers who eat these foods for survival. The current U.S. population according to a 2017 poll is 325.7 million. This number is a recording from a 2017 poll, and it’s currently 2018 and that number is even higher now obviously. The current wold population is 7.3 billion, and this number brings into question why hunger exists in such a worldwide crisis.  The issue of hunger and overpopulation does come into play when mentioning a number so big as 7.3 billion people. To supplement with this many people with land, food, and resources leads to poverty, suffering, hunger and a living hell as we do not have the means/resources to feed supplement such a large group of people. As a nation we should bring awareness to consequences of over population and concentrate our efforts on controlling the efforts to produce so many offspring’s if no means of resources are present in the taking care of them.

Prior to completing this assignment, review Assignment 9 in Chapter 17 of your course text. Prepare an evaluation of the performance of the Radiology Department Manager for a hospital.
The service unit, or output, for this department is the number of procedures performed. A static budget was prepared at the beginning of the year. Examine that budget in relation to actual experience. The relevant data are included in Table 17-18 in your course text. The department manager is pleased because the department has a favorable $120,000 cost variance. Evaluate the effectiveness claims of the manager using the budgetary variance mode described in Chapter 17. What is your analysis of the department manager’s performance? Explain your reasoning.
Paper Requirements:

Supporting Document 2: Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table

Overview

Using the same scenario from Identifying the Organizational Learning Issue, you realize that transitioning your organization to a learning environment may not be as easy as first imagined. You have encountered several resistance issues relating to the culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You decide to gather a decision-making team to assist in identifying the high or moderate resistance risks that may stop or slow down the process of this transition. The decision-making team must also recommend some mitigation intervention to lower the identified resistance risks to either moderate or low. For example, a high resistance risk can become moderate or low and moderate resistance risk can become low.
Your final product will be a table that identifies five issues related to the organization’s culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You must also provide a description of each resistance issue and rate the resistance risk before the mitigation intervention as either High (H) or Moderate (M). Then, you must provide a description of your team’s mitigation intervention and determine the resistance risk’s downgrade from High (H) to Moderate (M) or Low (L) and/or Moderate (M) to Low (L) after the mitigation intervention.

Instructions

Create a table in which you:

  1. Determine one challenge in the culture that may cause a major resistance to the transition from individual learning to organizational learning. Next, recommend one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  2. Predict one psychological learning threat that may result from the transition and then provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  3. Assess the current organization structure as it relates to the free flow of knowledge, then specify one issue that may cause a major resistance to the transition. Provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  4. Critique the workforce commitment to this transition and predict one major resistance you may encounter. Next, provide a mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  5. Propose one dissemination of knowledge issue with the recipients’ ability to absorb the knowledge and comprehend it into action (that is, motivating the recipient to share knowledge). Next, provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  6. Use the Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table template located here. You may also use Microsoft Word or other equivalent software to create a table in an equivalent format for this supporting document.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Create a table to identify transition resistance risks and an intervention to mitigate each.

Theme#1: Defined by the UMUC:
A literature review is a survey of the scholarly work in a particular subject area.  Use scholarly, peer reviewed, or refereed journals in your research. How do I know what a scholarly source is?  Review this UMUC link for clarification:  https://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/scholarlyjournals.cfm
Defined by the UNC-Chapel Hill:
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period (within the past 5-7 years is preferred in our course).  A literature review can be just a simple summary of (scholarly) sources.
Why do we write literature reviews? 
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have limited time to conduct research, literature reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. For professionals, they are useful reports that keep them up to date with what is current in the field. For scholars, the depth and breadth of the literature review emphasizes the credibility of the writer in his or her field. Literature reviews also provide a solid background for a research paper’s investigation. Comprehensive knowledge of the literature of the field is essential to most research papers.
