please follow the instructions in given document:
“To actually be sociological”: Stories of Self The self in context, as sociologically analyzed, is important and relevant. Connecting the personal with cultural and social structures is an application of the sociological imagination. This assignment is an opportunity for students to further develop their sociological imagination, writing skills and reflective abilities. Self-reflexivity allows the student to speak personally by focusing on their lived experiences in direct relation to social context. This assignment encourages you to reflect on your own self-concept, discuss your own histories and offer a diverse perspective through narratives and photographs. You are not required to reveal anything that is private to you. Only the instructor will see the photos and read the narratives. Part 1. The story of Self: • Using some of your answers for Kuhn’s Twenty Statement Test (which was completed in lecture October 19, 2020) as a reference, tell a story about who you are using photographs. Select 2-5 photos which you can share publicly and you feel tells a story about who you are. • These photos can be ones that you already have or they can be ones that you “find” that you feel represent you or they can be ones that you take specifically for this project. Photos can be of objects, settings, environments, people (including yourself or a selfie) if you wish. Please be respectful of others’ privacy in taking photos for this assignment. • Please write a narrative (story) describing each of the photographs including what is in the photo, its meaning and relation to your self-concept. The story for each photo should be no more than one type-written page in length. Photos should be embedded in the document with the story underneath. If this is a problem, please contact me to make other arrangements. • This section will be 2-5 pages long depending on how many photos and stories you include. Part 2. Analyzing experience • Consult chapter five in the text to assist you in analyzing your self-concept. In particular think about whether your stories could understood as “Self as Social structure” and/or “Self as Dramatic Effect”. Briefly discuss each perspective and reflect upon any of the concepts that help to explain your experience of self (for example the four-types of self-concept or impression management). • How are your stories similar to each perspective? How are they different? Is the research/theory in the chapter limited in addressing your personal experience? Does it provide you any new insight? Can you connect your experiences of the self to any larger cultural scripts or social structures (for example sexuality, age, class/status, gender, race/ethnicity, disability, religion, family, migration)? Fully explain your answers. • Reflect on what you have learned from this process. While this may well seem absurd to you, it is necessary if you are realize what is involved in linking the personal with the social/cultural structure. • This section will be 2-5 pages long. Instructions: 1. Write up your discussions and reflections in 4-10 type-written pages. You may use subtitles to help organize your work. Include an overall introduction and conclusion to the assignment. Be sure to properly reference using APA or ASA style references and reference list. Put photos and stories first and your reflections and analysis second. 2. To receive a good grade you must be thoughtful about your stories and connect to ideas in the course. 3. Please upload using word or pdf file. It should be typed, double-spaced, 12-font, 1-inch margins, title page Please number your pages.

Figure 1.1 in the course text illustrates how various functional plans for a healthcare organization support the overall strategic plan.

Figure 1.1: Relationship of overall strategic plan to business unit plans. Adapted from Strategic Planning and Marketing in Healthcare Organizations by R. Stevens and L. S. Silver, 2015, section 1.2: “The Importance of Strategic Planning and Marketing – Strategic Planning Process Overview.” Copyright 2015 by Bridgepoint Education, Inc.

The healthcare delivery system is often described as a service-driven industry. Therefore, it is vitally important for healthcare organizations to define the services that they are providing; however, it is equally important to determine the demographics or customer base that requires the specific service.  

The strategic planning process supports the healthcare organization by prioritizing objectives and detailing the actions needed to fulfil the goals of the business plan. Specific actions are unique and depend on the healthcare organization’s services, goals, and mission. Not all objectives outlined in the strategic plan require marketing plans (e.g., purchasing land, equipment, and buildings). Other objectives may require a marketing plan (e.g., providing physical therapy targeted toward a specific demographic).

To prepare for this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 of the course text. You may also want to review the recommended article by Yang (2010). Then read the scenario below and construct your initial post based on the directives that follow.

Scenario
The marketing director for Happy Valley long-term care center looks at the organization’s strategic plan to differentiate marketable objectives from non-marketable objectives. Objectives found in the healthcare organization’s strategic plan include the following:

Purchasing medical equipment
Purchasing more land
Acquiring financial capital
Acquiring physical resources
Providing elder day care to Alzheimer’s patients
Providing physical therapy
Providing social activities such as bingo
Promoting product awareness such as: marketing in a manor to improve the public’s perception of the HCO’s product or service
Providing shuttle service to medical appointments
Increasing sales
Creating a brand
Establishing the organization as a leader in the long-term care industry

Initial Post: Based on the Happy Valley scenario detailed above and the information presented in Chapters 1 and 2 of the course text, construct an initial post in which you

Differentiate between the organization’s stated objectives as to whether they are marketable or non-marketable objectives.  
Select the marketable objectives (i.e., those you would recommend developing in a marketing plan), and explain why you consider those objectives marketable.
Explain why the marketing plan objectives should be in line with the objectives in the healthcare organization’s strategic plan.

Be sure to provide concrete examples from the text and from your own research. Each source should be cited and referenced according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Guided Response:  Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial posts. You are encouraged to post your required replies early in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. Choose one or two specific marketing objectives outlined by your fellow learners and describe the possible positive impact for the organization’s strategic plan. Be sure to support each peer response by citing and referencing at least one scholarly source to validate your assertions. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Question Description

Please use different word documents for each question.

I have attached my work for each week. Topic for Question 1 and Question 2 is based on previous works that i have attached. The topic is around Social Media and Interpersonal Relationships

Question 1:

This week we are learning about the power of inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is not only extremely common, but it can also provide very good evidence for conclusions. This discussion prompt allows you to present an inductive version of the argument that you have been developing in this course.

Prepare: To prepare to write this discussion, read Chapters 5 and 6, focusing especially the section on “Strengthening Inductive Reasoning” in Chapter 5. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week, including What is a Strong Argument?

Reflect: Create a new (and improved) version of the argument that you have been developing throughout this course. Try to make sure that all of your premises are true and your reasoning is inductively strong. Again, consider how someone with the opposite point of view might criticize your argument and see if you can improve it to avoid those objections.

Write: Present your argument in standard form and explain any weaknesses that might remain. A weakness could mean a premise that many might disagree with or questions about the strength of the inference. Indicate briefly how you might address those weaknesses to strengthen your argument further. What further information might strengthen your argument the most?

Guided Response: Read the arguments presented by your classmates and analyze the reasoning they have presented. Comment on the strength of their reasoning. Help them out by pointing out any respect in which a reasonable person might disagree with the truth of their premises or with the strength of their reasoning. Give suggestions for how the argument might be improved. If someone presents good suggestions for your own argument respond with an improved version of the argument.

Question 2:

Counterargument Paper

This paper assignment expands upon your Week One Assignment and prepares you for the Final Paper. The expansion is to learn to improve one’s argument after investigating and fairly representing the opposite point of view. The main new tasks are to revise your previous argument created in Week One, to present a counterargument (an argument for a contrary conclusion), and to develop an objection to your original argument.

Here are the steps to prepare to write the counterargument paper:

  • Begin reviewing your previous paper paying particular attention to suggestions for improvement made by your instructor.
  • Revise your argument, improving it as much as possible, accounting for any suggestions and in light of further material you have learned in the course. If your argument is inductive, make sure that it is strong. If your argument is deductive, make sure that it is valid.
  • Construct what you take to be the strongest possible argument for a conclusion contrary to the one you argued for in your Week One paper. This is your counterargument. This should be based on careful thought and appropriate research.
  • Consider the primary points of disagreement between the point of view of your original argument and that of the counterargument.
  • Think about what you take to be the strongest objection to your original argument and how you might answer the objection while being fair to both sides. Search in the Ashford University Library for quality academic sources that support some aspect of your argument or counterargument.

In your paper,

  • Present a revised argument in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line.
  • Present a counterargument in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line.
  • Provide support for each premise of your counterargument. Clarify the meaning of the premise and supporting evidence for the premise.
    • Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources, supporting arguments, or other ways of demonstrating the truth of the premise (for more ideas about how to support the truth of premises take a look at the instructor guidance for this week). This section should include at least one scholarly research source. For guidance about how to develop a conclusion see the Ashford Writing Center’s Introductions and Conclusions (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
  • Explain how the conclusion of the counterargument follows from its premises. [One paragraph]
  • Discuss the primary points of disagreement between sincere and intelligent proponents of both sides. [One to two paragraphs]
    • For example, you might list any premises or background assumptions on which you think such proponents would disagree and briefly state what you see as the source of the disagreement, you could give a brief explanation of any reasoning that you think each side would find objectionable, or you could do a combination of these.
  • Present the best objection to your original argument. Clearly indicate what part of the argument your objection is aimed at, and provide a paragraph of supporting evidence for the objection. Reference at least one scholarly research source. [One to two paragraphs]
    • See the “Practicing Effective Criticism” section of Chapter 9 of your primary textbook for more information about how to present an objection.

For further instruction on how to create arguments, see the How to Construct a Valid Main Argument (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Tips for Creating an Inductively Strong Argument (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. documents as well as the video Constructing Valid Arguments (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

For an example of how to complete this paper, take a look at the following Week Three Annotated Example (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Let your instructor know if you have questions about how to complete this paper.

  • Must be 500 to 800 words in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (for more information about using APA style, take a look at the APA Essay Checklist for Students (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. webpage).
  • Must include a separate title page with the following:
    • Title of paper
    • Student’s name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor’s name
    • Date submitted
  • Must use at least two scholarly sources in addition to the course text.
  • The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.
  • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (for more information about how to create an APA reference list, take a look at the APA References List (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. webpage).
  • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Question 3:

One interesting thing that we have learned about inductive inference is that it is never final. New information can come along to further strengthen or weaken an inductive inference. This exercise gives you some practice in seeing how inductive reasoning can be strengthened and weakened with new information.

Prepare: To prepare for this prompt take a look at Chapters 5 and 6 in our book, paying special attention to the section titled “Inductive Strength” (including the section “A Closer Look: Using Premises to Affect Inductive Strength”).

Reflect: Find an inductive argument that occurs in some online source (make sure to cite the source) or think of one that you have heard used in your life. Consider its strength and how it might be strengthened or weakened in light of further information.

Write: Present an example of inductive reasoning. Comment on the strength of the inference. State a premise that could be added that, if true, would strengthen the inference. Now list another premise that could be added that would weaken it again. Now add another premise that could be added to strengthen it yet again. Continue this process even more times if you are enjoying the process and find it interesting.

Guided Response:
 Respond substantively to at least three of your classmates’ posts. What did you learn about inductive inference and about this specific argument by seeing how it is possible to strengthen or weaken it with further information? Can you think of other ways that the argument could be strengthened or weakened? What does this tell you about drawing conclusions in real life?
