In Robert Warshow’s brilliant essay, “The Gangster as Tragic Hero” (1962

In Robert Warshow’s brilliant essay, “The Gangster as Tragic Hero” (1962), he outlines how America, a notoriously cheerful, upbeat culture dedicated to happiness, created the darkest, modern antihero, the Gangster. In your essay, show 1) how Walter White (2008-2013), the antihero of Breaking Bad, is both similar and different from Robert Warshow’s definition of the gangster. 2) From that textual difference, explore how Breaking Bad “as experience of art” represents a different American viewing public than that of the late 50s, when Warshow was writing.

Dehumanization and Online Aggression

Discussion 2: Dehumanization and Online Aggression

Dehumanization has been defined as a denial of humanness to others and has been associated with aggression and a host of negative consequences (Moller & Deci, 2009). In contemporary society, the use of computer-based communications and social media outlets creates an open opportunity for people to be aggressive. For example, the increase of anonymity through technology has provided a medium for aggression. The current literature suggests that the power differential between the online aggressor and the victim is not considered enough (Bushman & Huesmann, 2010; Fiske, 2014). Both of these issues can lead to dehumanization.

For this Discussion, consider a situation in which aggressive behavior could occur online and think about how it might foster dehumanization.

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the situation you selected. Then explain three potential factors that might foster dehumanization/de-individuation and lead to online aggressive behavior. Finally, using a social psychology perspective, explain two ways online aggression could be reduced. Be specific and use the current literature to support your response.

With effective resource planning organizations can reduce inventory and service costs, improve efficiencies, and establish methods for continuous improvement

Inventory Management

With effective resource planning organizations can reduce inventory and service costs, improve efficiencies, and establish methods for continuous improvement. Depending upon the type of resource there is a different type of planning that must take place. This can include; material requirements planning (MRP), capacity requirements planning (CRP), enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), or product lifecycle management (PLM).

 

Research two specific types of resource planning.

 

Based on your research, explain whether or not you believe ERP and MRP are the only resource planning processes applicable to manufactured processes?

 

Can either ERP or MRP be used for service industries or can they only be used for manufacturing organizations?

Data can effectively help achieve the main purpose of a health system in any country

Please make comments on this discussion posts

 

Carolina

 

Data can effectively help achieve the main purpose of a health system in any country. As stated in the summary given for this discussion, measurement of health and disease is crucial for planning, determining, and solving in health care. Data is what allows this measurement to be provided, as well allowing this measurement to be accurate. As stated in the online journal article “U.S. Healthcare Data Today: Current State of Play”, “by providing greater insight to patients, providers, and policy makers into the appropriate application of interventions, and quality and costs of care, these data offer the opportunity to accelerate progress on the six dimensions of quality care—safe, effective, patient centered, timely, efficient, and equitable” (Chaudhry, 2006; IOM, 2001, 2009; Safran et al., 2007). This statement is imperative because it demonstrates that data represented in health systems is what ultimately allows health care to improve and grow by constantly providing relevant awareness of current public health. For instance, a health system is what provides physicians with all the information regarding their patients, which affects how the physician delivers their care. Therefore, any country can utilize health systems to improve public health overall.

 

Angelica

 

Data assists health systems achieve their goal in any country by identifying with a numerical figure disease problems, causal factors, number of people experiencing these diseases etc. Data also tracks progress and is extremely useful at identifying were more work needs to be put in as well to measure how well and implementation in a specific population is being effective. For example, a line graph can show clear movement of the data adding importance to the changes it makes.  Another important function of data in health systems is to measure health and disease in a population over time, data depicts the process and tracks changes identifying specific parts of concern. There was an example of this in our textbook in which a pyramid chart with percentages were used to depict the connection of a specific disease and people effected, this image creates a clear message that malaria generates a greater burden on health than TB which at the time was where most of the funding was going to to better the quality of life of the people in this region of Africa.  It also serves as an educational tool for the public (Merson, Black , & Mills, 2011).

As mentioned in our textbook collecting accurate data can be a burdensome process, the amount of data that needs to be collected to show accurate reasonable estimates of a disease in a region has been a source of concern (Merson, Black , & Mills, 2011). This for me is why I am very untrustworthy of data, to collect accurate data a lot of requirements must be met. I don’t believe that every individual that conducts research abides by these requirements and the only way to double check anyone’s work would be to do the research all over again which is neither cost or energy effective. The ethical principles put in place keep researchers on track serve a purpose nonetheless I don’t believe that people should take any data collected as fact because at the end of the day they are estimates of vast populations based on smaller numbers.

Build the extra time into your schedule by doubling the installation work timelines for both the framing and drywall

You have kicked off the District 4 Production Warehouse Move project, your contractors are in place and working on receiving the proper building permits.

You originally were told the permits would only take 2 weeks to obtain but the contractors are telling you it will now take 3 weeks. You need to build the additional week into your schedule for each permit that will be obtained.

In addition, your framing and drywall contractors have just told you they are running late on their other jobs and can only release half their crew for your project. This will double their schedule.

Build the extra time into your schedule by doubling the installation work timelines for both the framing and drywall. Your project plan should also be updated with the new 3-week timeline for obtaining permits. Use the project plan you created for this task.

You are now looking at an extended project delivery date. Your project sponsor was very clear that you must be done in a 4 month timeframe so you will need to look at options for reducing your schedule to fit into the 4 month window.

You have an option of hiring another contractor to help with the framing and drywall work but it will increase your budget by $200,000.

Determine your best course of action for bringing this project in on schedule and update your project plan(ATTACHED) to reflect your recommendation. Develop a 5-6 slide presentation for senior management outlining your proposed solution. You are seeking approval to proceed with your new plan.

Submit both your updated project plan in PDF format and your PowerPoint presentation.

Analyzing Research on the Benefits of Partnerships






As this week’s Learning Resources indicate, the benefits afforded by effective home, school, and community partnerships often are multifold. Schools, families, students, teachers, administrators, and the community-at-large all have the potential to reap significant rewards from the implementation of effective educational partnerships. But what kinds of partnerships are most successful in realizing this potential? Are there certain types of collaborations that tend to be less beneficial than others?

 

Research investigating the relative benefits of home, school, and community partnerships is abundant. Professionals can use these research findings to inform their own decision making when striving to forge educational partnerships. In this Discussion, you will build on your knowledge of the benefits of home, school, and community partnerships by examining research in the field. Consider the following:

  • Choose one specific benefit of home, school, and community partnerships that you learned about in this week’s resources. Using the Walden Library databases, the Internet, and/or other resources, find at least one scholarly article that presents confirming OR conflicting research relating to your chosen topic.


  • How would you describe the implications of these research findings for how home, school, and community partnerships are formed and executed in the future? For example:




    • If the partnership(s) described in the research was/were beneficial, do you think this success could be replicated in other settings? Does this success speak to a larger principle, or was the situation observed in this particular research study unique in some way?


    • If the partnership(s) described in the research did not bring the expected benefits, why do you think that is? Could improvements be made? Or do you think it was an anomaly? Why?




 

With these thoughts in mind, follow the instructions below to post your response to this Discussion topic.

By Wednesday:

Post the citation for and, if possible, a link to your research article, as well as a brief summary of its contents. Then explain if and how the research presented in this article confirmed or conflicted with the Learning Resources this week, and why you think that is. In addition, describe the implications of this research for how home, school, and community partnerships might be formed in the future in order to reap maximum benefits.

This assignment is due in 12 hours or less

What tools might an organization use to help identify barriers?

Assignment 3: Operational Barriers to Success


Delivering on a value proposition demands constant improvement and innovation as competition changes over time along with evolving customers’ needs and wants. How an organization delivers is not only dependent on its ability to serve the market but also on how well it adapts and overcomes the challenges of its own structure, culture, incentives, and design. However, an organization may face many barriers that hinder its ability to overcome these challenges.

Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research operational barriers. Based on your research, address the following:

  • What tools might an organization use to help identify barriers?

  • Identify at least three barriers that impede an organization’s ability to adopt innovative practices and processes.

  • Identify at least one organization that faced these barriers, describe the approach used to address these barriers, and explain whether it was successful or unsuccessful.

  • Explain what you would you have done differently to overcome these barriers.

talks about officers that moonlight when they are off duty

. This has law enforcement agencies concerned about their officers not receiving enough rest and being fatigued while on the job. What policies should be in place that limits officers from having other jobs outside of the department he or she is employed?

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Fatigue is a growing concern for law enforcement agencies, especially when it comes to officers that work second jobs (Doerner, 2012). Another concern would be officers using their sick time to work a second job, thus causing staffing issues for the agency (Doerner, 2012). Depending on the type of secondary employment, there could also be a conflict of interest further concerning the law enforcement agency (Doerner, 2012).

 

Some agencies have policies that are in place to prevent issues with officer’s primary jobs. These policies include being fully qualified, completed any probation period, not under investigation, hour restrictions, equipment use (including service handgun), and not working in a capacity that could cause a conflict of interest (Doerner, 2012).

 

Fatigue is a major concern for law enforcement officers due to the nature of their job and the responsibilities they are beholden to. I would say it is fair for law enforcement officers to report secondary employment to their primary job’s chain of command. Law enforcement officers are held to a higher standard and the command has an interest in ensuring the public is receiving the best service possible. Policies like those mentioned above should absolutely be in place as law enforcement officers are always representing their agencies and communities on or off duty. However, the income of many police officers motivates the desire to find secondary work and agencies should not only recognize this, but ensure the process to obtain a second income not be hampered by red tape and bureaucracy.

2) Agencies have legitimate concerns in regards to their employees having second jobs or moonlighting. When officers have these second jobs they may report to work exhausted, sleepy, preoccupied, and not as productive. These off-duty jobs may also interfere with departments normal operations. For example, an officer may use a sick day only to go to the second job to make more money (Doerner, 2012). This example could possibly affect other officers to have to work a shift alone, which could put them in danger.


To help prevent issues with off-duty jobs within a department there needs to be policies put in place. A secondary employment policy guideline such as the Seattle Police Department has some great examples. First employees must be full-time employees with the department and in good standing with the department, including having completed all required training, certifications, and qualifications. Another example would be to have a secondary employment permit form. This permit must go through all the proper chains of command for approval. The permits are valid for one year and if continuation of this employment is desired, the officer is required to submit a new permit. Lastly, there should be certain prohibited secondary jobs to maintain the integrity of the department and its employees. Some examples of those jobs would be repossessing or towing vehicles, acting as a process server or bill collector, or employment that requires access to police information (Doerner, 2012).

  1. Best Accounting, Inc. is a full-service accounting practice that does work for businesses and individuals and, during the months of January through June, consults with clients and prepares their tax returns. Best Accounting has two owners who are accountants, three staff accountants, and five administrative assistants. At the end of 2012, the owners of Best Accounting realized that the volume of tax returns that it expected to have to prepare during the 2013 tax season exceeded the ability of its staff to do the work. However, the owners of Best Accounting also realized that the business did not have enough work during the rest of the year to justify hiring another full time employee. To address this situation, Best Accounting hired T. J. Moody, an experienced tax return preparer, for the six months from January to June, 2013.J. Moody worked from his home office, using his own computer, but the returns that he prepared were prepared on software owned by Best Accounting and maintained on servers owned by Best Accounting. The tax returns were assigned by Best Accounting to T. J., and T. J. was expected to complete eight tax returns per week. Depending on the complexity of the tax return, T. J. was paid between $150 and $500 per tax return.

    Was T. J. Moody an employee or an independent contractor of Best Accounting? What factors should be considered in making that determination? What do each of those factors suggest as to whether T. J. Moody was an employee or an independent contractor? What difference does it make to Best Accounting whether T. J. Moody is an employee or an independent contractor? What difference does it make to T. J. Moody?

    Your response should be a minimum of 200 words in length.
