Existence of Race and Ethnicity Among Humans Discussion
The concept of race is only about 300 years old. Is that shocking to you? When would you have guessed it was created? Things to consider:1. If race is a fairly new concept, developed in the same century as the pressure cooker and the discovery of bacteria, does that give you hope for the future? Why or why not?2. If race does not exist as a biological reality, does that mean racism does not effect peoples lives? Explain.3. Consider the two other examples in of social constructions in lecture: national boarders and time zones. These are things we would never discover in nature. Does that mean they cannot impact you? What would happen if you showed up to work late with the excuse that time zone’s are a social construction? Would you boss accept this excuse? 4. If race and ethnicity are different things, they certainly come together in complicated ways. One important way they come together is through Afro-Latino/a identity. As was demonstrated in the video in lecture 15.2, many slaves were taken to Latin America. There are many people who identify both as coming from Africa and being Latino/a. Does this complicate the idea that Race and Ethnicity can be separated? What do you think?Consider the following video of people discussing their Afro-Latino/a identity:

BU Legal and Reg Environment Discussion
the question: Paul Tillich says that when we speak of God as loving we use our experience of love. Do you agree? If so, how might our experiences of hurt in personal relationships (i.e. an abusive parent) affect our understanding of God?The students response: One thing that I have learned growing up in a church and continuing my relationship with God as an adult is that each person?s experiences and relationship is different. I agree that we draw upon on experiences when we speak about certain topics and especially about love. It is through the experiences I have had in my life with how God has shown me love that I know what love is like with other people. Finding meaning in the difficult times we experience has never been easy for me. I have found great comfort in the Peace and Love passage in Romans chapter 5:3-5. ?Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God?s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.? Understanding that we will find meaning in the hurt we experience through continuing to trust and glorify God we will be stronger and able to help more people. I firmly believe that meaning is behind everything, every hard experience I have had has always had a deeper meaning. God has shown me his love and patience and I have learned about perseverance and integrity in these moments. We will never fully understand God, but through out relationship we gain more knowledge and truth every day, even the difficult days.

EGL 1010 PGCC Cyberbullying and How It Affects Learning Essay
PLEASE READ THE PROMPT CAREFULLY. I HAVE A DRAFT COPY OF THIS PROJECT TO WORK WITH. In project three, the literature review, you used your research to provide an overview of the conversation or debate about your topic. In this project, project four, you will write a persuasive research essay in which you include your literature review, and then add your own voice to the conversation. Finally, in project five, you will present your research in a new popular genre. In this persuasive research essay, you will enter into the academic and/or professional conversation happening about your topic. This is where you finally get to argue for your perspective! Use rhetorical appeals, persuasive techniques (including counterargument and rebuttal), and supporting evidence to convince your reader to agree with you. You are writing for an academic or professional audience, but you get to choose how you want to narrow that audience. Who needs to hear your message the most? If you write to change your reader?s mind, who holds an opinion that needs to change? If you write to prompt your reader to act, who can take the actions you propose? You can assume that your reader has only a common-knowledge understanding of your topic; they are aware of the topic but not experts in the field. Avoid field-specific language that only experts will understand. If you need to include field-specific language, offer a definition. Here are some examples of academic and professional audience groups: K-12 teachers, college teachers, state legislators, educational textbook publishers, education scholars, writing scholars, high school students, college students. You may choose to have an explicit or an implied thesis statement. If you choose an explicit (direct) thesis, experiment with where you place it in the essay; don?t assume it?ll work best in the introduction. If you choose an implied (indirect) thesis statement, make sure your reader can still identify a main argument even though it is not obviously stated in one or two declarative sentences. You should include a minimum of 7 credible and appropriate sources. Two of these sources must include perspectives that differ in some way from your own perspective. You already have 5 sources in your literature review. You should plan to edit and revise your literature review as you develop a better understanding of the purpose it will serve in your larger research essay. You will likely use some of these sources throughout the rest of your essay as well. You will include a counter argument and rebuttal in your essay, so you should include at least 2 sources that offer a perspective that is different from your own perspective on your topic. You should support your own perspective with evidence from sources. As you choose sources, think about what types of sources will appeal most to your chosen audience, as well as how you can use sources to compose appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos. I ask you to mark specific requirements in your final draft so that whenI look at your final draft, I can see your intent and better evaluate whether you successfully accomplished your intended goals.
MKT402 SU mkt402 week 5 discussion 1 AND responses
Week 5 Discussion 1″Price Levels” Please respond to the following:AND RESPOND TO THESE POSTS: Miller RE: Week 5 Discussion 1In my opinion the price window is the most is the most important step of the price setting process. The overall goal is to set profit maximizing prices by capturing the appropriate amount of the differential value in each stage to affect the final price at each stage. The price window is set for every portion and characterized by the roof, the most noteworthy admissible value point, and the floor, the least allowable price point. We start the value setting process by building up the value window for every section and after that, in step two, a contract that window gave important destinations for the portion and potential client reactions to the new costs. So, setting the price range based on the differential value and the relevant cost is vital to the overall goal of maximizing your profit.jackson RE: Week 5 Discussion 1If you want to be a good product manager, consider your market window as part of your product strategy. Often companies come up with what they believe to be a fantastic idea for a new product and there is a tremendous push to release it as soon as possible. While a product obviously cannot start recouping its costs until it is available for sale, simply releasing a product into the market is no guarantee that it will sell. There are countless examples of products which have rushed to market and flopped. Whether the product solves any buyer problems and whether those problems are ones which buyers will pay to have solved are much more important factors in determining the product?s likelihood of success. Even for useful and well-designed products, sooner is not always better. The element of time is an important one in the product?s success and needs to be evaluated along with other valuable criteria. Looking at the market window strategically versus being based on development and project timelines, or based on other internal factors not dictated by the market situation may uncover some opportunities which can improve the product?s likelihood of success, helping ensure cross-functional support for hitting that window. Good product managers use time to their advantage and plan their product development and launch accordingly.
GCU REsponse to Discussion question Two
Response one: In the quickly changing field of health care, the need for strategic planning is crucial. A common denominator in successful firms is their ability to anticipate needs and plan for the future (Norris, 2016). With advancements in technology, including artificial intelligence and automation, hospitals need to be on the cutting edge to thrive and adapt. Strategic planning involves planning for expected changes in the future as well as planning for the unexpected. This involves planning and budgeting for available human resources, determining new pathways for an organization to follow, ensuring that cutting-edge equipment is available for improved patient care, determining training and software needs, and even determining growing or decreasing departments to meet these needs.An organization that is structured to allow communication to flow freely from all areas in the organization, from top to bottom, is essential for strategic planning. Creating company goals and objectives in this manner, absorbing insight from every level within the organization and helps to promote cohesiveness, shared values, and passion (Whitney, 2018).Embracing technology and utilizing tools that provide predictive and graphical pictures are essential to understanding where the organization is currently at and how to address future development, planning, and resource allocation (Lovrien Peterson, 2016). Other important tools that may be used include budgeting software, communication software that allows for efficient sharing of ideas and reduces the need to travel to meetings and utilizing human resources from every level to gain insight and first-hand accounts of current issues and opportunities for improvement.ReferencesLovrien, K., Peterson, L. (2016). Current trends in health system strategy and planning: New drivers, themes, tools, and approaches. Becker’s Hospital Review. Retrieved from Norris, T. (2016). Why is strategic planning so important? Retrieved from Whitney, S. (2018). Roles and responsibilities in leadership and management. In Nursing leadership management. [Academic Web Services]. Retrieved from Response two: strategic planning in health care organizations involves outlining the actionable steps needed to reach specific goals. While there are different strategy types and levels, the purpose of all strategies is to bring an organization’s actions into alignment with its stated mission or values. Healthcare is continuously changing with high tech computers and technology. In the past paper charts were used while facilities are now adapting to EMR?s which enhance the ability to share medical information in a timely manner with specialists, hospitals, laboratories, and radiology facilities. It is essential to plan for the future, develop a budget, have a strategic plan for all expected and unexpected issues. With new equipment that become available, facilities have ongoing education sessions with their staff members so everyone can learn and perform at the best of their ability. A facility should plan daily huddles that allows for healthcare teams to hear the goals for the day. At this time staff can also communicate their needs and concerns in a professional manner. Everyone that is apart of the unit should be included in these huddles so that each of them feel they are an essential part of the team (Whitney, 2018). This is an example of how effective strategic planning can allow for growth within the healthcare team. Communication is an essential tool for strategic planning and will ensure everyone is on board or has an opportunity to verbalize their ability or issue with the new technology. Usually there are sign in sheets during education sessions so it is on record who did or did not attend. An outside company may present a demonstration on how to use new equipment and answer any questions staff may have. Some of the key areas that a hospital strategic plan can significantly improve include: company culture, goals and objectives, operating budgeting, service line decisions, risk management, capital planning, cost accounting, and long range forecasting. Randolph, (2019). Strategic Planning In Hospitals; Whitney, S. (2018). Roles and responsibilities in leadership and management. In Nursing leadership management. [Academic Web Services]. Retrieved from Response three: Strategic planning in healthcare involves creating objectives and setting goals for where a company would like to go in the future, and then constructing a plan to achieve these objectives. One of the common factors found in most successful industries or organizations is that they take the time to look into the future and determine where they want to go and how to get there. Organizations that regularly take the time to fully engage in this process have a much greater chance of being financially successful. Health care industries undergo different changes on regular basis. Hospital strategic plan allows for more efficiency in all aspects of the business, no matter how big or small. In addition to this, Strata (2019) pointed out that healthcare planning must take into account potential government policy changes, technological advancements and economic trends that could significantly change an organization?s operations The aim of strategic planning is to channel the resources on the set goals, by so doing; challenges that will prevent healthcare industry from reaching its potential will be identified. Once those challenges are identified, they can implement and execute the steps necessary to remove or minimize those issues. The result is that a stronger, healthier organization that can confidently move forward in a rapidly changing world has been established.Factors that can affect future planning in an organization will be to evaluate company resources. Bearing in mind that, an idea and developing a plan for the organization can help the industry succeed, but if the organization does not have the resources to put the plans together, it can affect the progress. So, an evaluation of the resources necessary to complete the project, comparing it to the available resources the organization has should be considered. Also, organizations priorities and planning process is another factors. Every organizations priority is to generate revenue. But, if something comes up along the line that will jeopardize the plan, then you have to put the planning aside until the issue is resolved. This can interfere with the planning process sometimes. As a result, each of the issues facing the organizations should be on priority basis. That way, it can determine which issue will wait until the process is completed. Tools to use for future planning are finance, personnel, access to material etc.ReferenceStrata (2019) Strategic planning in hospitals. Strata Decision Technology. Retrieved August 6, 2019 from
