any artwork that interests you. The artwork chosen can be any unique painting,
sculpture, or photograph that has been publicly displayed in a gallery or museum. See
below for LOTS of further overviews and tips. Please feel free to ask any questions.
FORMAL ANALYSIS PAPER LEARNING OBJECTIVE: the goal of a formal analysis
is to explain how the formal elements of a work of art affect the representation of the
subject matter and expressive content. The emphasis should be on analyzing the
formal elementsnot interpreting the artwork.
A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have
chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal
analysis assumes a work of art is (1) a constructed object (2) that has been created with
a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer) (3) that can be
ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work.
To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of
art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your
analysis, they should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet,
the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a
thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement
may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this
work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this
work all about? The thesis statement is an important element of the analysis that sets it
apart from being a merely descriptive paper.
What will be the impact on national resilience with this framework for the National Security Strategy?
The Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security offered a unique insight into how this cabinet level agency viewed the issue.
The 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) was the document to offer this perspective.
The QHSR is an important foundational document in this discussion as it established multiple resilience goals and
objectives in the areas of critical infrastructure, supply chain systems, and cyber. The resilience of all of these areas,
and other sectors covered by the QHSR is a national imperative. Recent threat activities in the cyber sphere
underscores this need. From OPM, and Home Depot, to EQUIFAX and even the Department of Homeland Security itself
have suffered breaches.
DHS specifically noted in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR):
This second quadrennial review reflects a more focused, collaborative Departmental strategy, planning, and
analytic capability. The risk-informed priorities set forth in this Review will drive operational planning, as well as
analysis of resource and capability options and tradeoffs over the next four years. The Review also recognizes the
responsibility the Department shares with hundreds of thousands of people across the federal, state, local, tribal,
and territorial governments, the private sector, and other nongovernmental organizations, and provides a path
forward for engaging in public-private partnerships. These are the people who regularly interact with the public,
who are responsible for public safety and security, which own and operate our nations critical infrastructure and
services, who perform research and develop technology, and who keep watch, prepare for, and respond to
emerging threats and disasters.
It should come as no surprise that one of the five QHSR missions is devoted to resilience: Mission 5 Strengthening
National Preparedness and Resilience. It should be noted the Congressionally mandated 2018 QHSR was never
released.
But there are even more agencies, within the Department of Homeland Security such as the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, (FEMA) which released the country’s first-ever National Preparedness Goal in 2011. Again,
another foundational document dealing with resilience.
(Image: https://www.cisa.gov/)
The creation, in 2018, of the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) assed to the national
resilience effort. According to that agencys web site:
We coordinate security and resilience efforts using trusted partnerships across the private and public sectors and
deliver technical assistance and assessments to federal stakeholders as well as to infrastructure owners and operators
nationwide. CISA (n.d.) also delivers insights on these assessments related to current capabilities to identify gaps,
whichalong with an examination of emerging technologieshelp determine the demand for future capabilities (both
near- and long-term).
CISA has developed Sector Coordinating Councils (SCC) that are, self-organized and self-governed councils that
enable critical infrastructure owners and operators, their trade associations, and other industry representatives to
interact on a wide range of sector-specific strategies, policies, and activities. The SCCs coordinate and collaborate with
sector-specific agencies (SSAs) and related Government Coordinating Councils (GCCs) to address the entire range of
critical infrastructure security and resilience policies and efforts for that sector.
Finally, perhaps the document that is most talked about regarding resilience is President Policy Directives-8 or PDD-8.
Within this PDD a vision is presented for nationwide preparedness and identifies the core capabilities and targets
necessary to achieve preparedness across the following five mission areas: prevention, protection, mitigation,
response and recovery. Recognizing that preparedness is a shared responsibility, Presidential Policy Directive / PPD-8:
National Preparedness was signed by the President on March 30, 2011.
At its core, PPD-8 requires the involvement of everyonenot just the governmentin a systematic effort to keep the
nation safe from harm and resilient when struck by hazards, such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism and
pandemics. When you think about it in the purest sense, isnt that what resilience as an element of Homeland Security
really is?
One other Homeland Security resilience issue that has received a lot of focus from DHS Office of Academic
Engagement or OAE is the new Campus Resilience program. Released in April of 2018 this program which was based
on TableTop Exercises (TTX). This effort is driven by active shooter type events.
This policy directive calls on federal departments and agencies to work with the whole community to develop a
national preparedness goal and a series of frameworks and plans related to reaching the goal.
To help resilience get the kind of academic focus that it should the Department of Homeland Security Science and
Technology Directorate Office of University programs has established two academic centers of excellence. One is at the
University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) Coastal Resilience Center or CRC and one at the University of Illinois
Champaign-Urbana the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute or CIRI. To get an understand of the research that
has done please visit these links:
https://coastalresiliencecenter.unc.edu/
https://ciri.illinois.edu/
Finally, to get a real sense of where the issue of Homeland Security and resilience stands entering 2021 listen to the
speech by Dr. Stephen Flynn, the Founding Director of the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University, and
one of Americas true experts on resilience. The link for this closed caption Skype speech from the 2020 Maritime
Risk Symposium provides Dr. Flynns perspective on maritime resilience in the face of growing human-made and
naturally occurring turbulence.
As you consider this issue keep in mind that the new Administration has issued Interim National Security Strategic
Guidance. Noted the Congressional Research Service:
In drafting national security strategies, every administration faces central questions about how the U.S.
government should define and advance national security. The Biden Administration argues that the COVID-19
pandemic and other systemic issues, including (but not limited to) climate change and the rise of anti-democratic
authoritarian populism, are forcing the United States to take an expansive view of what constitutes matters of
national security. In so doing, the INSSG articulates some continuity with the Trump Administration in identifying
the challenge that strategic competition with China poses to U.S. national security. (Congressional Research
Service)
What will be the impact on national resilience with this framework for the National Security Strategy? This is what the
Congressional Research Service noted:
How might Interagency Resources be Rebalanced? Since 2001, the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S.
military have taken on missions beyond traditional warfighting responsibilities (including, but not limited to,
providing more security assistance and assisting with international disease responses). The State Department,
the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Trade Representative, and other agencies
provide critical national security capabilities, but possess narrower authorities and command fewer budgetary and
personnel resources.
How does national resilience get impacted or does it? Is there a direct connection between the NSS and national
resilience?
Write a program critique that examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a specific health need by addressing program risks, external barriers and program benefits.
IHP 670 Module Six Program Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You will complete five program critique assignments in the course to support your work as you prepare for your final project. These assignments ask that you critique a program described
within an identified article located in the modules resources. These articles were chosen because they relate to the modules topics and demonstrate some common problems that programs
encounter. In each assignment, you will have the opportunity to critique certain program components, such as resources, activities, outcome measures, use of feedback loops, assumptions, and
external barriers. Once planners have identified the details for each of the program components, they must step back and assess how those components can best operate within the programs
environment. That involves considering concepts such as cultural competency, systems thinking, ethical practice, and others. You will focus on these different concepts, in turn, through the
program critiques. As you develop your program critique skills, you will be asked to identify areas that could be or need to be improved and offer recommendations.
In this assignment, you will critique a health or healthcare program selected for you. It is the program critique reading in the Resources section of the module. This is the only reading that can
be used for this assignment.
This assignment will help you examine activities used to improve participation in a sexual and reproductive health program. Pay particular attention to the activity that was designed to remove
an external barrier to care. Focus your critique on elements such as the risks involved, the benefits or desired results, and the intended results achieved to evaluate the programs ability to
adjust.
This program critique will help you plan for the risks and external barriers to your program and improve the programs ability to adjust and adapt over time.
Prompt
Write a program critique that examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a specific health need by addressing program risks, external barriers and program benefits. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. External Barriers to Care: External Barriers to Care: Describe why it is important to identify barriers that impede an individuals or a groups access to care. Consider the following question to guide your
response:
Why do you think the use of vouchers was effective or ineffective in achieving desired results?
2. Program Risks: Program Risks: Describe why identifying potential risks is important in program planning. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
What two risks did the program create?
What actions would you take to minimize these risks?
3. Program Benefits: Program Benefits: Describe what secondary benefits are achieved in addition to the desired results and their importance to stakeholders and the overall program. Consider the
following questions to guide your response:
Why is it important to appreciate these secondary benefits?
How would you let other program planners know about these secondary benefits?
4. Impact on Desired Results: Impact on Desired Results: Determine whether the planned activities achieved the desired results for the program and why you feel they did or did not achieve these results..
Consider the following question to guide your response:
How might the activities be adjusted for improving the programs desired results if the program were to run again in the future?

Police departments are using surveillance cameras, gunshot detection systems, automated license plate readers, facial recognition software, body cameras, drones, and numerous databases to prevent, respond and investigate crimes. Describe whether this technology exists, but rather, should police use it when it becomes available to them? And, if so, how should it be used?
Nola M. Joyce, former deputy commissioner for the Philadelphia Police Department, once wrote the following in a blog post for the National Police Foundation:
Today Police departments are using surveillance cameras, gunshot detection systems, automated license plate readers, facial recognition software, body cameras, drones, and numerous databases to prevent, respond and investigate crimes. Describe whether this technology exists, but rather, should police use it when it becomes available to them? And, if so, how should it be used?
For your initial post, you will take a position on this issue. Do you agree or disagree that the increased use of technology may pose a threat to the public?
First, title your post either “Police Use of Technology Makes Me Feel Safer” or “Police Use of Technology Threatens My Constitutional Rights.”
Then, using the information gained in this module and the resources noted above, make your case. What are the pros and cons of police technology use? Be sure to build your case with factual resources.
In response to your peers, consider how well they have justified their position, making use of available resources. Consider the following questions in your response posts:
Did your peers support their position convincingly with appropriate resources? Which of their points make the most sense to you, even if you made a case for the opposing viewpoint?

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric.
Rubrics
Discussion Rubric: Undergraduate (Standard)
Describe how degrees of uncertainty impact an organization and articulate the steps that a leader can take to help an organization deal with this very real systemic constraint.
In the readings for this learning module, you had the opportunity to explore the impact of what the authors described as extreme uncertainty. As you read this chapter you may have felt like there are very few businesses today that dont deal with extreme uncertainty. While much of what the author addressed dealt with the issue of startups, almost every business deals with uncertainty. Describe how degrees of uncertainty impact an organization and articulate the steps that a leader can take to help an organization deal with this very real systemic constraint.
Discussion Question:
Obviously, time is one of those factors that is equal for everyone. However, in modern organizations we think about time differently, dont we? Modern, asynchronous learning opportunities have allowed us to use our time differently. With that said, time crusher is a very real issue in most competitive organizations today. In your readings they address this issue. Describe in this discussion question how time pressures have an impact on organizations and how those pressures can be managed by thoughtful leaders desirous of managing their organizational culture. Be specific and articulate examples from the readings.
Betty talks about her mom being put into a nursing home. Do you feel that ageism (bias based on a persons age) played a role in the outcome of that admission? Why or why not?
Module06D-BiasinHealthcare.docx
Module 06 D – Bias in Healthcare
This paper is about ageism and bias. Reflect on your personal perception of older adults (aged 65 and above). Consider it is your first day at a clinical site, and your preceptor tells you that your client is a 76-year-old female. Does that paint a picture of your day? Do you have different expectations about the physical and cognitive abilities of a 76-year-old client than you would for a 46-year-old client? Do you anticipate having to provide more care for a 76-year-old than for a 46-year-old? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you are not alone.
