Annotated Bibliography (15%):
An assignment in which you gather at least eight sources related to your research project and summarize and analyze each source in an attempt to determine how the source might be of use to you in your research project.

Research Essay (30%):
A researched essay (8-10 pages minimum) in which you a will provide a focused and detailed argument in response to your research questions with regards to a particular social issue.

Project #2: Research Portfolio

Research, argumentation, and synthesis are the cornerstone skills that students need to learn in order to thrive in college. For this assignment, you will use your skills to summarize, analyze, and synthesize sources to form an argument. This assignment asks you to write a 7-10 page essay that investigates a particular social problem of your choice. Personally, I would cater my choice towards my career goals or choose an issue that I want to know more about. Currently, I want to learn more about high-stakes testing in public schools and funding per student in Mississippi school districts, so I would research those things and come up with a research question: How does a lack of funding for infrastructure affect high-stakes testing scores for Mississippi school districts?

Project Components:
Proposal due: 10/06/18
Research Essay Draft due: 10/20/18
Final Draft and Annotated Bibliography due: 11/17/18

Proposal: The proposal is a tentative plan. It should be 1-2 pages long and include a statement of the particular problem you intend to investigate, and your specific research question. You should also indicate why you wish to pursue this topic, how you expect to gather information, and who your target audience is. What you write in the proposal is not set in stone—your plans may change as you move through the writing and research process. However, if you completely “switch gears,” you need to discuss your new topic with me for final approval. For instance, if your proposal discusses environmental racism in Flint, Michigan, but your final research paper is about gender bias in politics, then I need a heads up.

Annotated Bibliography: The goal of your annotated bibliography is to collect sources relating to your research topic and to think through the ways these sources will be of use to you in your research paper.

This is a working bibliography; you may list as many sources as you find interesting, but you must annotate at least 8 written sources. Remember, you may not use all the sources listed here in your final paper, but a comprehensive working bibliography helps you make connections between sources, helps you see the “larger picture”—the various perspectives which different authorities have on a subject.

Your research should represent a number of perspectives on your issue. Aim for a balance of sources from a variety of political perspectives and opinions; if most of your sources are from liberal magazines/journals, for example, you’re not getting a valuable balance of sources. You don’t have time to read long books, though you may use up to two book chapters as sources. Aim for a balance of academic and popular sources. No more than three of your sources should be from the Internet, and when choosing Internet sources, carefully analyze their credibility and authority before including them.

List each source alphabetically in proper MLA works cited format. Follow each citation with an annotation. An annotation should include:
1. a summary of the content and the author’s main point or claim, and
2. a brief analysis of the work and discussion of how the source may or may not be useful to you.

Sample Annotation:
James, Rene. “The Signifying Practices of Rap Music.” Journal of Popular Culture 22 (1982):
468-82.

Rap music has a long history, dating back to the early 1900s and “scat” jazz. After listing several different kinds of rap music and their political ties, James argues that rap has been mainstreamed and “whitened” for the mass public because rap “signifies” a lifestyle which contradicts many status quo (white) values. His main claim is that rap music is more than just entertainment for bored, black, urban youth; instead, rap poses significant political challenges and has the potential to cause many social changes.
I will use James’ history of rap in my introduction. I like the list of types of rap he gives us, but the article is over three decades old, and a lot of things have changed in rap since then. E.g., Eminem presents a totally different ethical issue for rap than any of the groups James talks about. Maybe I’ll add a few new kinds of rap to his list to show how rap is even more commercialized now. I also really liked his explanation about how rap is more than just entertainment. It can have real social consequences. I agree with this, and I think it might work as a good argument in my conclusion.

Research Essay: Again, this assignment asks you to reevaluate and research elements of our community that might benefit from research and public attention. Your project should:

• develop a persuasive focus and then support that focus by offering specific examples and details along with relevant research;
• attempt to persuade a specific audience, who may or may not be aware of the issues, to accept (if not agree with) your perspectives; and
• synthesize a minimum of six sources to offer an in-depth discussion of the community issue which you are evaluating.

Getting Started: Your focus will be persuasive by making a claim about and evaluating the social/community problem you have chosen. Your focus should offer a subject plus a point of significance about the subject. Remember, neither a statement of fact (homelessness + is a big problem in America) nor a statement of taste (homeless people + are great people) constitute a persuasive focus. Your thesis is your claim plus the evidence you will explain in your body paragraphs.

Rhetorical Considerations: The audience that you tailor your essay to will be left up for you to decide, but put investment in convincing your audience of your point. It would not make sense for your audience to be people who agree wholeheartedly with you. To write a convincing essay, you will need to explore your chosen issue in some depth. You should develop your essay carefully by choosing supporting information through research and by offering specific examples and details.

Putting it Together: While it will still be necessary to establish a clear focus statement towards the beginning of your essay, keep in mind that research writing is a journey that begins with questions. Your inquiries and research should lead you to a strong organization that helps persuade others of your claim. Follow MLA documentation style for format, parenthetical citations, and your works cited page, and keep in mind the following conventions:

1. use at least six to seven outside sources. No source may be more than 10 years old without permission. If you are using a website, interview, or video, you must get my approval ahead of time. Citations will not be permitted from encyclopedias other than professional encyclopedias;
2. document (give the source of your information, including the exact page if there is a stable page number) all words or statements that are not common knowledge. A citation must give the answer every time a reader might ask, “Where did you learn that?”
3. in addition to quotations, some of your text will be summarized and paraphrased. Summarized and paraphrased information MUST BE CITED.

This paper need to be done to a 1st degree level. I have completed the Introduction, methods sections and have all references. Transcript of focus group also included. What is needed is thematic analysius done on the data transcript, then the analysis and discussion sections need to be written up, an an abstract section included.
Please insure the Analysis covers;
• Is there an overview introducing the main points of the analysis?
• Are themes clearly outlined?
• Are relevant extracts/quotations used to support and evidence each theme?
• Is the interpretation/analysis of themes justified and appropriate?
• Is the interpretation linked to the extracts/quotes?
• Is the analysis linked to the research aims?
• Is the analysis linked to the relevant theoretical approach?
• Is the analysis linked to the literature presented in the introduction?
• If a discursive approach is used (e.g. DP, CDP, DA etc.), is the analysis linked to the literature presented in the analytic strategy?

and the Discussion includes;
• Are the outcomes of the analysis restated and summarized appropriately?
• Are the key messages from the analyses drawn out in the discussion?
• Are the findings discussed in relation to theory?
• Are the implications of the findings discussed sensibly?
• Are the strengths and limitations of the study sensibly reviewed?
• Are there suggestions for further research?
• Do conclusions follow from the preceding discussion?
• Is there a reflexive element describing the researcher’s personal involvement?
Finally the abstract should also be written.

Instructions
Your supervisor has asked you to do a 15-minute oral presentation at a staff meeting about a recent issue that occurred at another hospital in town. Following an industrial accident, two patients arrived at the emergency room of that hospital at the same time, presenting with very similar inhalation injuries. The hospital received a great deal of negative press due to how the patients were triaged in the ER. Your supervisor would like you to use the specifics of this case to review triage procedures and best practices at your facility. Here are the details:
 One is a 32-year-old firefighter, Frank Jeffers, who is presenting with respiratory difficulties that he obtained while evacuating victims of an industrial accident. He is a married homeowner and father of two young boys. He has lived in the community all his life. He has full and comprehensive health insurance through his employer.
 The other is Brent Damascus, a 58-year-old man. Brent is presenting with respiratory difficulties with the same intensity as Mr. Jeffers above. He is well known at the hospital emergency room, as he is a frequent visitor with various complaints, including asthma, headaches, and tremors. He is homeless, unemployed, and uninsured. He stays many nights at the YMCA and eats lunch at the soup kitchen. He has lived in the community for over 10 years and has been arrested several times for petty theft.
Preparation
Search the Internet for scholarly and professional peer-reviewed articles on best practices in triage nursing. You will need at least three articles to use as support for your work on this assessment.
Directions
Create a 15-minute presentation (3–4 pages) that examines the moral and ethical issues that occurred when triaging these two patients and the best practices for managing this in the future.
Divide your draft into a number of talking points that you can summarize neatly. Keep in mind that an oral presentation requires slightly different language than an essay. The aim is to communicate your message so keep sentences simple and focus on the key points you want to deliver. Address the following in your presentation:
• Explain the health care policies and protocols that are in place that direct triage care in an emergency situation.
• Explain how health care disparities impact treatment decisions.
• Identify the health care policies that are in place that direct care for uninsured individuals. Is there a difference in how these individuals are triaged?
• Describe the moral and ethical challenges nurses can face when following hospital policies and protocols. Is there a conflict when a severely injured person is also uninsured?
• Recommend evidence-based strategies that should be applied for managing the care of uninsured and indigent population.
Additional Requirements
Your presentation should meet the following requirements:
• Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• References: Include a reference section with a minimum of three references; a majority of these should be peer-reviewed sources. All resources should have been published within the last 5 years.
• APA format: Resources and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
• Length: 3–4 typed, double-spaced pages, excluding title page and reference page. Use Microsoft Word to complete the assessment.
• Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point.

In 1854 the United States issued the Ostend Manifesto, declaring that Cuba was “naturally” a part of the United States, and urged Spain to accept an offer of $120 million for the island. A threat was also issued that if Spain refused, the United States would “wrest” the island by force. While the threat was not carried out at that point in the nation’s history, Cuba will eventually fall within the American sphere of influence.

Essay Question:

In 1898 the U.S. declared war on Spain. Discuss why the Spanish-American War has been called the “splendid little war,” the reasons offered as to why the U.S. decided to engage in this war, and if you agree or disagree with these reasons. We also fought the Philippine-American War during this period. Discuss possible reasons why this war has been largely ignored.

Assessment 3. Application of strengths-based nursing principles

Emma Gee case study

Using any of the resources available related to the Emma Gee case study presented throughout the unit, develop a discussion on how strengths-based nursing and healthcare could be implemented for Emma at any point of her journey, or across the whole of her journey (hypothetically as if Emma was to experience her healthcare journey again).

Your discussion should
provide an overview of what is strengths-based nursing synthesising the principles and values of SBN
demonstrate how strengths-based nursing could be implemented in Emma’s nursing care to address the healthcare needs raised in Emma’s case study (specifically identify which healthcare need you are addressing using evidence from one of the resources available to you presenting the Emma Gee case),
select one critical transition point in Emma’s journey (e.g. immediate post-surgical care while Emma was unconscious; nursing care following Emma regaining consciousness; admission to rehabilitation; discharge planning from rehabilitation; etc) and present a strengths-based nursing care plan for Emma that includes a holistic approach, a family focus and collaboration with Emma, her family and other healthcare professionals involved in Emma’s care,
summarise the nursing care practices and client outcomes you would expect from implementing strengths-based nursing care complementing the medical model focus,
offer your conclusion on how SBN can help achieve patient and family empowerment, health promotion and partnerships in healthcare in Australia.

The workshop workbook and the learning activities in the 2-day workshop will assist you to complete this assessment task. The first and second assessments will be formative towards completing assessment 3.

Finding ways to improve humanity’s living standards is the point of economics. Having a good measure of living standards, you may think, is therefore pretty fundamental to the discipline. For decades economists have turned to gross domestic product (GDP) when they want an estimate of how well off people are. By how much are Americans better off than Indians, or than their parents’ generation? Chances are the answer will start with GDP.
GDP is really a measure of an economy’s output, valued at market prices (to the extent that you have them). As societies produce more, and therefore earn more, their material well-being rises. So it is no surprise that so many economists and official statisticians broadly accept GDP as a measure of living standards.
Do you think GDP is the best measure of living standard? Why? Why not? Briefly discuss

(D) 3copies
Topic: It has been eight years since the official end of that severe economic downturn. What is the near future of the US economy? Do you see a robust, strong growth or another recession in the near future?
