You probably know John Grisham better from his novels (The Firm, A Time to Kill) than from his journalistic essays. His essay presents an empathetic view of homeless people he meets in an effort to shed light on a social issue that is often dismissed or swept under the rug. What reaction did you have to his essay? What is his intent, and what does he do effectively in accomplishing it? Did it change your view of the issue in any way or cause you to reconsider your feelings in any way?

Refer directly to the literature and include at least one direct quote from one of the literary selections in order to support and illustrate your points

One contemporary trend in poetry is known loosely as the “confessional mode,” in which the poet’s own life becomes an important element of the subject of his or her poetry. The three assigned poets clearly work in the confessional vein to some extent. How do they keep their poems from being merely about themselves?

Discussion instructions for this poem….

Discussion post….
In paradise lost book 1 Satan is portrayed as completely disconcerted as he is thrown from the jurisdiction of light to darkness and suffering place. Satan feels pity and regrets the act of bringing the rebel angels to the place of darkness and sufferings he is thrown. He encourages himself as well as his courage through vowing to always do evil or ill which will be his soul delight. Satan appears to be confident that God will never drive them away from the place of darkness and he is determined to rule in the dark and feels that the place is better than being in heaven serving God.
Although Satan is portrayed as a hero of the Paradise by some, in paradise lost book 1, there are arguments against that view. Though Milton describes Satan as having brilliant qualities such as being sympathetic, Satan ousts these qualities as he is determined to deliberately do harm and lead other angels to persistently do harm. The focus is made on Satan as the antagonist while the true hero of Milton who is the son of God appears later in the story and he is the protagonist.

Discussion instructions for this reading…..
In your discussion post, explore the validity of Pope’s satirical criticism of society and vanity. Do we make too much of small things? Are humans too vain? What do you think Pope’s answer to those questions would be?
Discussion post…
Pope satire and vanity on humans focus on peculiar behaviors of the upper classes (Pope, 2003). Pope exposes society ignorance of the world outside Hampton court palace. Instead of discussing the important matter they are preoccupied with irrelevances. Society is willing to worship beauty which is a religious perversion; pope sexualizes the cross by saying that it is found on Belinda whit breast (Pope, 2003). These suggested that Belinda’s’s nipple were the object of worship and not the cross.
According to the pope in his poems, members of society only focus on trivial matters. He depicts card game as an epic battle, which gives a young aristocrat a heroic gain after gambling and flirting “battlefield” (Pope, 2003). Because of unimportant things, a person is respected and glorified. Yes, we humans are in vain as we normalize domesticated murder and cannibalism. The human body is shown suffering much in life just like we are insensitive to what animals go through, and the same things most likely will happen to us.

Pocahontas and Benjamin Franklin are two extraordinary Americans whose lives have been recounted in historical works, novels, plays, and film. Yet historical developments beyond their control shaped their life experiences. In an essay compare and contrast how historical developments influenced their respective experiences and outlooks. In writing this essay consider the following questions: What historical developments most impacted their lives? How did they each react to these developments? How did these developments influence their actions? Did these historical developments exert a positive or negative influence on their lives? In this essay be sure to include as supporting evidence from the sources in 3.4 (American Artifact Lens) and 3.4 (Economic Lens) in the textbook.

For additional information on the lives of these two people:

1. Examine the three major types of consequences that result from stress: direct physiological effects; harmful behaviors, and indirect-health related behaviors. Discuss a stressor you’ve encountered and apply it to each consequence. Discuss the current research that links stress to psychoneuroimmunology, and highlight how stress impacts the immune system. 2. Imagine that you were to win the Powerball lottery tomorrow. What type(s) of stress, in your opinion, would diminish because of increased financial resources? What does current research say about whether or not money “buys” happiness? Evaluate these theories: do you agree or disagree with this research? What are the advantages and limitations of these theories? As part of your answer, explain three characteristics related to happy people.

Utility-Maximization

Consider a rational, utility-maximizing consumer who is choosing between two goods:  clothing (C) and food (F).  The utilities of the two goods are independent, so total utility (U) = Uc+Uf. The following chart shows the utility from each good:

 

Quantity consumed of Food (F)	0	1	2	3	4	5
Utility from F	0	12	20	24	26	27

 

Quantity of clothing (C)	0	1	2	3	4	5
Total Utility from C	0	40	70	90	100	100

 

The price of clothing is $5 per unit and the price of food is $1 per unit.

 

Explain how this consumer would allocate an income of $18 on the two goods.

 

 

3. Supply and Demand

Consider the market for silver, where quantity is in ounces, and price in dollars.

 

Price   (P)	$27	$24	$21	$18	$15	$12	$6	$3	$0
Quantity   Demanded (QD)	0	2	4	6	8	10	12	14	16
Quantity   Supplied (QS)	16	14	12	10	8	6	4	2	0

 

1. a) What are the equilibrium price and quantity? Why?
2. b) Assume that the Government puts in place a price ceiling (maximum) of $6 per ounce. What will be the new Qs, the new Qd, the actual amount bought/sold, and the shortage/surplus (if any)? Why?
3. c) Assume that the government imposes a price floor (minimum) of $ 21 per ounce in this market. What will be the new Qs, the new Qd, the actual amount bought/sold, and the shortage/surplus (if any)? Why?
4. d) Calculate the total revenue received by the seller from actual trade (defined as actual price multiplied by actual quantity) in this market in the original equilibrium, and under the price controls described in parts b and c above.

With so much attention focused on health care reform, it is important that nurses be given the opportunity to use high-quality technology tools. These tools can increase access to vital medical information, promote effective communication among health care professionals, and improve the patient experience. By actively seeking out and adopting these tools, nurses can greatly enhance the quality and safety of care that they provide.
This Discussion focuses on identifying quality technology tools that increase the ability of nurses to provide safe, effective care.

My Colleagues’ post
The world of healthcare is continually changing, effective communication among healthcare team members is essential to provide safe and efficient patient care. Basic communications such as telephone, bed-board meetings, word of mouth are no longer the most effective ways of communication regarding patient care. With the change in communication, most healthcare organizations are adopting communication systems which promote effective communication among health care providers and with patients (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018).
Increase in the census has made my organization change the way staff members communicate regarding patient flow and bed track. Last year my organization went house-wide with bed tracking by adopting the Tele Tracking system. Tele Tracking system is a software that manages patient flow, to ensure that patient care is not delayed (Tele Tracking, 2018). The Tele Tracking system is integrated into the electronic bed-board and allows for effective communication throughout the hospital. For example: when a patient has been discharged from the hospital, the charge nurse places a discharge notification in the computer, and the Tele Tracking system automatically notifies environmental services that a bed still has to be cleaned. Also, on the electronic bed-board screen, the Tele Tracking places a brown color on the bed, so the nursing staff is aware that the bed still need to be clean and it is not yet available for occupancy. Another example is when a patient goes down for a diagnostic test such as an MRI, on the electronic bed-board it will say MRI under location.
Knowing of patient status and bed availability has been proven to reduce patient waiting times and decrease overcrowding the emergency department (Blanchard & Rodin, 2016). I do not find any barriers that are hindering its adoption. The Tele Tracking system is easy to use, and I think many healthcare staff in my organization adapted to the system with ease. Utilization of the Tele Tracking system has made the control of patient flow and nursing practice a little less stressful. Knowing when the patient is arriving at the unit has made my patient care prioritization easier.
