Prepare a short research paper on one of the following:
Evaluate J. Martin’s view that Christianity tends to thrive under persecution and “wilt under freedoms”? How does your own experience influence your answer?
OR
Compare and contrast the apartheid experience (Williams) with the immigrant experience (Aymer).

Human services professionals who focus on rectifying human rights violations, social problems, mental health, or welfare needs often do so on a national and international level. In the national and international sphere, there is a great need for social change agents, leaders, and advocates on behalf of human rights, as well as for other issues. Attempting to address these issues at the national and international levels presents a unique set of challenges for human services professionals.

To prepare:

Select one national and one international challenge related to human and social services professions and/or the roles and responsibilities of human and social services professionals anywhere in the world. These should be challenges you or a professional might face when attempting to address issues at the national and international levels, such as professional recognition, apathy, or cultural barriers.
Think about why addressing these challenges is important to the profession, as well as what difference its resolution or improvement might make.
With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4
Post a brief description of the national and international challenges you selected. Explain why addressing these challenges is important to the profession and what difference their resolution or improvement might make. Be specific, and provide examples to illustrate your points.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

3. Terms of the Bid Offers Exhibit 5 (Page 12) shows the details of the offer terms for MCI as of March 29, 2005. At first glance, the offer from Qwest seems more attractive: higher cash value and higher stock value. Why does the Board prefer the offer from Verizon? In addition to the different past acquisition history of the two companies, a detailed analysis of the terms indicates that they have different combinations of optionality (embedded call and put options). For instance, although both offers have a call option component when the stock prices of acquiring companies increase to a high level, the down-side protection against price declines is different. For Qwest, when share price is below 3.74, how the value of the offer look like in terms of optionality? How does this option feature influence the true value of the two offers?

4. Stock-Based Merger Wave In late 1990s, many companies were pursuing acquisition-based growth strategies. A notable example is the acquisition of MCI by WorldCom, which proved to be a failure. A salient feature of this type of acquisition is the large part of the deal being financed by the acquiring company’s stocks. Why do acquires prefer to pursue stock-based acquisition? You may illustrate your point using the deal of WorldCom-MCI. (Hint: if company A buys company B when Company A’s share is overpriced, would stock-based acquisition be a desirable strategy?)
as soon as possible thank you

A Comparison of Health Care

For your final project, you will write a paper and create a proposal presentation.

Your paper should compare the health system of a developed country of your choosing to the United States. You may select any developed country from the Developed Countries List for which the World Bank provides detailed health, nutrition, and population statistics. You can start here. Specifically, you will need data on both health outcomes (e.g., life expectancy and infant mortality) and health-system resources (e.g., number of physicians and hospitals per capita).

Your 10-12-page paper should analyze major reforms in the history of your chosen country’s health system and the current state of the health system. You will also present a proposal on why that health system would be more effective in the United States than the current health system.  Your proposal will also have to describe the history and current state of the United States health system for a comparison.

• The paper should utilize APA format (6th edition) and include references and citations for at least 10 scholarly sources.
• The presentation will be 10-15 slides with video and/or voice of your presentation to United States stakeholders on your proposed healthcare reform.

Your deliverables have been broken into the following milestones across eight modules:

• Module 1 will be spent researching the various developed countries and their healthcare systems.
• Module 2 deliverable is to decide on the country that you will study. Write a 1-2-page assessment on that country and why you believe their healthcare system is working. This will be non-graded.
• Module 3 deliverable is the outline of what you will include in your paper and presentation to stakeholders. Include who the stakeholders would be to propose changes to healthcare in The United States. This will be non-graded.
• Module 4 deliverable is the APA (6th edition) formatted list of at least 10 scholarly sources that you will cite within your paper. For assistance in determining what is scholarly, please review Determine If a Source Is Scholarly. This will be non-graded.
• Module 5 deliverable is the proposed abstract, introduction and conclusion of your paper for instructor feedback. For assistance, please review How to Write an APA Abstract and Introductions & Conclusions. This will be non-graded.
• Module 6 has no deliverables. Work on writing your paper, which is due in Module 7.
• Module 7 deliverable is the final submission of the 10-12-page paper. This will be graded.
• Module 8 deliverable is the final submission of the 10-15-slides presentation. This will be graded.

1. How do you keep yourself safe from viruses, hackers, malware, etc.?

2. How do you identify unsafe content and webpages?

3. What are your thoughts about online ownership (rightful ownership)? (Citation, Plagiarism, etc.

4. Our society is exposed to fast-advancing technology that requires us to consistently try to keep up. Do you also feel this pressure? How are you able to adapt to this exponential growth in society?

5. How would you rate your digital literacy skills?

6. (Optional Question) In all honesty, would you consider yourself to have great, ok, or bad digital etiquette? Why?

Reading Questions:

1. In the article “P–20 Model of Digital Citizenship” it says, “Students use technology at home before they start school, requiring parents to begin teaching their children digital citizenship as soon as they begin to use a computer” (Hollandsworth, R. & company, 2011). In your opinion, should parents be held responsible for any unethical behavior(s) their child may display in the digital world?

2. In the article “P–20 Model of Digital Citizenship” it says, “For some parents, the issues surrounding digital rights and responsibilities include having access to students’ passwords or having ability to see accounts on social networking sites. As a parent, this is not an invasion of privacy; instead, it is a way to better know your child, view how they interact with others, and keep them safe.” In your mind when is parent’s control over their children’s technological lives start to become an invasion of privacy?

3. In the article “P–20 Model of Digital Citizenship” it says, “Many schools nationwide are still denying students (and teachers for that matter) access to the real-world digital citizenship learning opportunities.” Why do you think these schools are denying students access to the digital world?

4. In the article “Digital Citizenship in the Curriculum” it says, “test whether student behavior, school safety, and grades improve with fewer online distractions” (Rivedal, 2017). Do you believe that limiting student’s online distractions will achieve this? Why or why not?

5. In the article “Digital Citizenship in the Curriculum” it says, “teaching with and about social media offers an approach that can help students grow as digital citizens in a democracy.” (you can answer one of these questions or both of them up to you)
a. Do you think that there is a point where digital citizenship is overtaught? (being too focused on teaching about the digital world rather than teaching “IRL things”)
b. It is important to teach how to properly navigate the internet, but do you think focusing on teaching how to navigate social media stuff is really necessary? Why or why not and to what degree?

All levels of simulation fidelity or reality have become an integral component in the preparation of healthcare workers for practice in recent years. This new digital technology increases new skill retention and performance through immersive engagement while learning. The digital environment offers reproducible conditions that can contribute to the development of non-technical skills of communication, teamwork, and decision-making, essential in today’s healthcare (Peddle, Bearman & Nestel, 2016).

Virtual simulation has been used in the airline industry for many years, requiring new pilots to train on flight simulators before commanding a passenger flight (Alinier, Hunt, Gordon & Harwood, 2006).

The United States military has used virtual worlds to train military personnel for disaster and emergency preparedness (Foronda, Godsall & Trybulski, 2013). Simulation has also been used in the preparation of physicians and the training of nurse anesthetists (Bremner, Aduddell, Bennett & VanGeest, 2006).

A team of Nurse Educators and Instructional Designers created Prioritization of Care to provide a learning environment unique to nursing and complementary to existing curricula.

From the safety of the home or the office, digital assignments like Prioritization of Care, presents students with situations they might not encounter in the course of clinically-based preparation.

How do you feel about simulation for nurse training?
