>American history homework help

For this assignment, you must select one theme, event, or concept from this lesson’s documentary or articles (NOT the textbook readings and NOT the Crash Course history videos).  You will then compare your selection to an ongoing social, political, cultural, or economic issue in the United States today, explaining how events and phenomena from the past influence or shape the present.  Whereas the quizzes are designed to test your empirical knowledge of U.S. history, this discussion post is designed to evaluate your ability to make broader, analytical connections from the past to contemporary events.  Your discussion post should reflect your critical analysis of the past and present.
Discussion Post Materials:
Scholarly Article: Lizabeth Cohen — From Town Center to Shopping Center
Scholarly Article: Mark Leff — The Politics of Sacrifice on the American Homefront in World War II
Directions:
1. Read the scholarly articles in their entirety.  Select one of the materials which interests you the most.
2. From one of those materials, determine what the main argument is.  In other words, all academic lectures and articles have a key point that is being supported by evidence, which is what we call the argument.  Figure out what that key point is.
3. In your discussion post, explain the argument by analyzing the evidence. As you are explaining the argument, you should discuss how that argument is significant for U.S. history.  In other words, tell me why this topic is important for U.S. history.
4. Next, make a connection between the topic and any political, social, or cultural issue that we face today in the United States.  You should explain how and in what ways the past informs or have shaped the present.
5. Your discussion post should reflect how you interpret the past and connect it to present events.
6. Please, be creative; be bold!  There is no right or wrong answer! I will evaluate you based upon the quality of your analysis.
Guidelines and Requirements: 
1. A minimum of 350 words. By all means, feel free to write more.
2. Use formal, well-written English.  You will be penalized points if your discussion post is sloppy and incomprehensible.
3.  Read other students’ posts.  Give a “Like” to those students who you feel have done an exceptional job (please, don’t arbitrarily “Like” all posts). Feel free to — politely and respectfully — comment on other student’s posts.  Nodding your head in agreement to everyone’s post can be quite boring.  Argument — in a respective and intelligent language — is a bit more fun =), so please, feel free to debate.
4. Submit your discussion post within the allotted time.  Late posts will not be accepted — unless you can prove that you have been hospitalized from Sunday to Saturday.

Random Acts of Kindness
Random acts of kindness can have a huge impact on the person receiving the kindness but also from the giver.  You never know what impact your small gesture will have.
This week, I would like for you to complete three acts of kindness during a single day. They can be big or small, but the impact is greater with a variety of actions performed on the same day. You might feed a stranger’s parking meter, pay the bus fare of another passenger, give a sandwich to a homeless person. After each act,  make a note on what you did and, for an extra happiness boost, how it made you feel. Review other students’ posts and comment on those that you have done yourself or ones that jump out at you that you want to do in the future.
To complete the assignment, talk about one act of kindness you have received and how it made you feel.
GO MAKE SOMEONE’S DAY!
Have a great week!

Article writing homework help

this reflection focuses on the use of language in each piece. For print stimuli, focus on how the writer/author uses words to communicate or evoke a specific response in the selected stimuli. Firstly, the candidate must identify the particular language technique like emotive language, descriptive language, figurative language, narrative voice, diction or slang. After identifying the technique, there should be a discussion on how well it helped to achieve the purpose of the piece. For non-print stimuli like pictures, cartoons or photographs discuss the impact of the message conveyed, the effect of the image, the emotional appeal or relevance to the issue/topic/theme chosen.

What is the difference between a healthcare organization’s business and strategic plan?

The business plan of a healthcare organization describes the purpose of the HCO and lends structure to its organizational goals. The strategic plan is used as a directional guide; in other words, how the organization will fulfill its purpose and put ideas into action. The strategic plan also prioritizes the organization’s resources as a means to fulfill the business plan. Simply put, the business plan is the “what,” and the strategic plan is the “how.”

To prepare for this assignment, read Chapters 1 and 2 in the course text as well as the required article by Varkey and Bennett (2010). You may also want to review the recommended article by Williams (2008). For your initial post, answer the following questions in the discussion forum:

What is the difference between a healthcare organization’s business and strategic plan? Be sure to include the purpose of each plan and how they relate to one another.
Why is it important for a healthcare organization to develop a strategic plan?

Support your initial post with in-text citations and references for at least two scholarly sources.

DESCRIBE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH LITERACY AND POPULATION HEALTH OUTCOMES.

     Competency 2 Assessment
Instructions: This Competency Assessment will allow you to apply concepts of population-based practice and community as partners.
For this course Competency Assessment, you will need to conduct a community assessment using assessment and evaluation tools, identify principles of community-based participatory research, and describe data sources using mixed methods for evaluation in a particular community context.
Many of you have traveled and participated in international/global immersion experiences, or a local practice where you may be an outsider (not a member of the community for whom you are caring). Others of you may aspire to practice in international settings. Also, in this unit, you have been introduced to the idea of genetics/genomic risks.
For this assignment, submit your assignment in which you do the following:
1. State two issues that may be of concern among vulnerable populations and possible solutions to combat such issues. 
Please Note! 
My 2 Vulnerable Populations are: 
a. Children of low-income families 
b. The Mentally disabled 
Emphasis should be focused on the following topics:
· Increase school dropout.
· Use of Drugs.
· Low quality of health/Poor health outcomes/Inadequate healthcare/ poor healthcare
· Increase risk of chronic health conditions such as diabetes.
· Increase mental health needs
2. Succinctly describe the relationship between health literacy and population health outcomes. 
3. What has been your experiences understanding 1) and 2).  
4. As you process some of the ethical issues and concerns about ethical engagement highlighted in the readings and media offerings for this unit
Please identify how you will ensure your engagement is helpful rather than well intended but ineffective (or worse).
· Submit your reflection by the last day of this unit.
(min. 5 pages- not including cover page or references)

 
Studies of parenting find that low family income and maternal hardship hamper children’s cognitive and social competence. 14 Moreover, parents in poor living environments have difficulty nurturing and protecting their children, increasing the likelihood that children will gravitate into activities and peer associations leading to school dropout, premature sexual experience, use of drugs, and other deviant behavior. 15 Family deprivations also increase the probability of abuse and neglect of children, who then seek to escape the household early, associate with inappropriate peers, form tenuous sexual partnerships, have early pregnancies, and often replicate the pattern of inadequate parenting they experienced as children. 16
Recommendation
Payments to health plans and providers should promote quality health care and improved health and functional status for all patients, including vulnerable populations. Adjusting payments for differences in health or functional status is especially important for Medicare, Medicaid, and other payers that have significant enrollment of individuals with chronic illness or disability so that health plans and providers have an incentive for developing innovative models of care that best serve these individuals
Additional investment should be provided for developing, evaluating, and supporting effective health care delivery models designed to meet the specific needs of vulnerable populations. The lack of evidence of effective approaches to enhance the health and functional status of persons with chronic illness or disabilities suggests the need for significant additional investment in research and innovation for health care and rehabilitation programs serving these patients. In addition, telemedicine and similar innovations, incentives for health care professionals to practice in underserved areas, and enhanced availability of prehospital emergency services should be assessed as approaches for improving the access to care of those facing geographic barriers to appropriate care.
