Description
For this assignment, you will participate in a review of a case study.
Instructions
1. Read the following case study:
2. Write an analysis of the motivational and emotional factors that are involved in the case. In particular, consider:
• What factors are motivating Freda to accept the job in London?
• How might these motivational and emotional factors affect Freda’s decision? Please be sure to not neglect discussing Freda’s bulimia, referencing this particular eating disorder in Chapter 9-2d in your textbook.
• What incentives and drawbacks do each of Freda’s choices come with?

Make sure to use complete sentences and paragraphs to answer the above questions, rather than bullet points. Your work should be at least one page in written length, not including headers/footers or the pasted prompt.

Case Study 2

Freda is a second year college student and part-time model. She is studying biochemistry, and has a high GPA. She has been modeling for four years and has recently been approached by a modeling firm in London. They would like to offer her a great deal of money to work for them, but she would have to put her college plans on hold. Freda’s mother thinks she should go to London and experience the world for a while. “Biochemistry will still be here when you get back,” she says. In reality, her mother hopes that the proceeds from modeling job will help get their family home out of foreclosure. Freda is aware of this and wants to help her mother. Freda’s situation is complicated by her bulimia. She knows that if she takes the modeling career, she will be faced with criticism of her size and attractiveness. She is naturally shy, and as a high profile model, she will have little privacy. Analyze the different psychological factors related to motivation at work in this case.

For your play paper, you will submit a typed, titled, page numbered, double-spaced essay answering a student created and answered hypothesis, with a demonstrable thesis, by the due date (see below). Please include a works cited page including all sources, both primary and secondary, you cite from in MLA format. There is no need to include a cover page.

Your paper may only cover one (1) work of literature we have read for class. Significant points will be taken off for failing to follow this directive.

START Triage Practice – Who Wants to be an EMT?

When first responders arrive on the scene of a large-scale incident, the situation will most likely be chaotic. Injured people, panic, destruction, and potentially, an ongoing threat are likely. To provide service to the victims, the first responder’s primary concern must be to address the threat, by eliminating or containing it.
Next, first responders must organize the scene and create a manageable plan for treating all victims. The process of creating this plan is called triage. Triage maximizes the available resources.
Incidents involving weapons of mass destruction are referred to as CBRN events (which stands for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear). In these events, responders must separate the scene into three distinct zones; cold, warm, and hot. This allows medical responders controlled access to the scene and minimizes the possibility of additional victims being exposed or infected while containing victims who are already exposed. Finally, controlled access creates a safe working area for responding personnel.

Cold Zone: This area will serve as the clean treatment area and is the outmost area of a CBRN incident. Patients who have already been contaminated will be treated here before they are transported to any other location. This area should be at least 300 yards upwind from the contaminated area.

Warm Zone: This area is considered the decontamination area and should be located at least several hundred yards away from the contaminated area, and at least 50 yards from the cold zone.

Hot Zone: This is the contaminated area, where the threat is present.
While zones are being created and separated, additional personnel may already be starting to triage the victims. First responders must recognize a potential CBRN threat and not endanger themselves when trying to reach the victims.
Triaging Victims
As stated above, triage is all about making the most of the resources at hand. Inevitably, emergency personnel must make decisions about how to allocate available resources. Not every victim will receive the same level of care. Those with critical injuries will require more attention than the less severely injured.
Mass casualty scenes divide patients by level of injury and are designated by colored flags or tarps. This provides first responders with a quick visual reference and eliminates double work. The levels of injury are separated as follows:
IMMEDIATE (CRITICALLY INJURED):
These patients are in need of immediate care or transport to save life or limb. They are designated by a red flag or tarp.
DELAYED (URGENT):
These patients are still seriously injured but it may not be life threatening. They are designated by a yellow flag or tarp.
MINOR (AMBULATORY):
These patients have only minor injuries and/or are mobile and can walk themselves to safe zone or additional medical care. They are designated by a green flag or tarp.
EXPIRED (DECEASED):
These patients are deceased. There is no longer any medical care that can help them. They are designated by a black flag or tarp.
Having a preset method of scene management helps first responders calm a chaotic scene.

Analyze the text of a speech of your choice, using the defined terms from your textbook (chapters 1-14).

Requirements:

– The speech must be 3-6 pages long, double-spaced, 12 point font. You may use a portion of a longer speech.

– The speech must have been given by a non-fictional person, in front of real people (the speech cannot be from a movie, or made by a fictional character from a movie)

– The speech must have been planned, intentional, and for a purpose (not spur of the moment, or speaking off the cuff/stream of consciousness).

You are to go through this text and identify each portion of it, from broad aspects (like introduction, body, and conclusion), to the smallest detail (like connectives, types of supporting material, etc.). How you analyze (footnotes, using different colors in your font for your notations, etc.) is up to you, so long as it follows one set of rules and is clear throughout the analysis.

The annotated analysis must be physically handed in on Wednesday, October 10. This assignment must be typed. No late work will be accepted.

Questions and concerns can be communicated to me via email.

1. The speaker reports that “victory filled up / the little rented boat” (lines 66-67). Whose victory might she have in mind? Why might she use this word? Often, a victory for one is a defeat for another. Is that the case here?

2. Why do you think Harper used the ellipsis in line 5? Is this an effective device, or should he have tried to say what the “something” was?

3. In your own words, what is Cummings saying about the effect love has on him? Is this hyperbolic? Why?

4) Which poet spoke to you more? That is, what poet made you reflect more? Why? How so?

5) In Harper’s poem, are these two lovers, is an affair happening, is the woman a prostitute? Thoughts? Can you make a case for all of them?

please answer each question with 40 words and label each answer with 1. 2. 3.

Michelle Obama’s Commencement Speech Examining Claims, Reasons and Evidence

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WULxP4ULNoM
The purpose of this assignment is to identify the parts of an argument: main claim, claims, reasons, and evidence. You will be asked to create an argument in your final paper. Hopefully this assignment will deepen your understanding of the components of an argument. Furthermore, this is a powerful speech that you can apply to understanding of Others in your healthcare practice. Please keep your patients in mind as you read or listen. What did you learn from Michelle Obama that can help you connect with your patients more?
Review the CR chapters on “Making an Argument.”
Carefully watch Michelle Obama’s 22 minute graduation speech at Bowie State University. Be aware of the context in which she is speaking and notice who are the stakeholders. This information will be useful to you in understanding the meaning of her argument. The transcript is available in this week’s module if you prefer to read her speech.
For this assignment answer the following questions in a narrative format – well-thought out and written paragraphs:
• What is her overall argument (main claim)?
• What is one claim Obama makes? FYI: She makes several, but only one is required.
• What is one reason to support this claim?
• What evidence does she provide to support this claim?
Remember, “claims because of reasons based on evidence.”
For full points, you should answer the following correctly:
1) One main claim (thesis), one claim, one reason, and one example of evidence (3.5 points).
2) All the components of the argument clearly connect (1 point).
3) Correctly done in-text citations and a well-structured reference list (0.5). Please cite a YouTube and use a time stamp in in-text citations.

Assignment #1 – Case Analysis
A Word of Caution: This Case Analysis assignment will take much longer to complete successfully than you think. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE – TIME WILL BE YOUR GREATEST ENEMY!

This is an Individual Assignment. Be very careful about plagiarism….

The purpose of the case analysis is to present you with a typical scenario you will encounter in business at some point in your early career and to let you apply the concepts you’ve learned in class and from the book to analyze the issues facing a specific company (or person).

Your assignment: Using the provided “SMB Case” material plus additional information that you have researched, write a Case Analysis that provides a solidly considered IT/IS strategy recommendation to Janice (Senior Director of IT) [You are writing this for her, not me.] that will help accelerate the growth of the business by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing, sales, inventory and accounting functions. As with all business writing, assume other people not directly addressed may read your case. In this instance, assume all the senior executives will read your analysis. Note that the market opportunity is good so there is growing competition in the region from other larger, more technically savvy companies.

As you consider the elements of the case, think about the implications of the Enhanced Leavitt’s Diamond Model that we covered in class. This is your tool to make sure all relevant bases/topics are covered appropriately.

Note: Liberal use of tables, charts and diagrams is highly recommended. Any financial information related to your implementation must be in table format.

There are several questions that you must consider in your analysis. Please answer them in order given and restate the questions as a 4 to 5 word header as a statement (not a question):
1. Should the company automate, informate, re-engineer or paradigm shift? Why did you make the specific choice? Cite best-in-class examples that support your choice.
2. Using Leavitt’s Diamond Model – Modified, please cover the four main areas*:
a) Process
b) Structure
c) Technology
d) People
3. High-level Budget for the implementation (presented in a table). Cite your sources.
4. Timeline for the Implementation.
5. What will the toughest implementation task be?
6. What risks are there of following your strategy? How would you mitigate them? (Remember – If you highlight a Risk you must always propose a Solution.)

*Note: Please use as the section main head “Areas to Consider” and use “Process”, “Structure”, etc. as sub headers.
