Describe the first Thanksgiving and explain the specific differences between the actual First Thanksgiving and the story we tell about Thanksgiving today? What explains these significant differences between the true history and the Thanksgiving story we now largely tell? Discuss whether it is necessarily a bad thing that we continue, as a nation, to teach each new generation a make-believe story about our national origins? Can you identify any possible negative outcomes from this disconnect between the historical record and the story we teach? Or is this “myth” acceptable because it serves a positive larger purpose? If so, what is that purpose and how does the story help achieve that?

Develop a 2-5-page training strategies summary and annotated agenda for a training session that will prepare a role group to succeed in implementing your proposed organizational policy and practice guidelines.
Introduction
Training and educating those within an organization who are responsible for implementing and working with changes in organizational policy is a critical step in ensuring that prescribed changes have their intended benefit. A leader in a health care profession must be able to apply effective leadership, management, and educational strategies to ensure that colleagues and subordinates will be prepared to do the work that is asked of them.
As a master’s-level health care practitioner, you may be asked to design training sessions to help ensure the smooth implementation of any number of initiatives in your health care setting. The ability to create an agenda that will ensure your training goals will be met, and will fit into the allotted time, is a valuable skill for preparing colleagues to be successful in their practice.
Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft strategy summary and annotated training agenda to Smarthinking for feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 2448 hours for receiving feedback.
To help ensure a smooth rollout and implementation of your proposed policy and practice guidelines, design a training session for one of the role groups in the organization that will be responsible for implementation.
Write a brief summary of your strategies for working with your chosen role group.
Explain how this training session will help prepare the group to succeed in implementing your proposed policy and practice guidelines, and why you chose this group to pilot your proposal.
Prepare an annotated agenda for a two-hour training session.
During this training session, you will want to ensure that the individuals you are training understand the new policy and practice guidelines. You will need them to buy into the importance of the policy in improving the quality of care or outcomes and their key role in successful policy implementation. You must help them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in implementing the policy and practice guidelines.
As outcomes of this training session, participants are expected to:
Understand the organizational policy and practice guidelines to be implemented.
Understand the importance of the policy to improving quality or outcomes.
Understand that, as a group, they are key to successful implementation.
Possess the necessary knowledge and skills for successful implementation.

*the topic I chose is that i LIKE AND AGREE with the idea thatThere is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah.*

4th Essay Assignment on Islam (Chs 17 & 18)
Suggested Topics
Choose a religious view that you like or dislike most among our topics in Islam, and critically discuss it. I am giving you a freedom to choose your own topic as long as you satisfy the following requirement: describe the view concisely, discuss why it is good or not, consider possible objections to your evaluation, think of rebuttals of these objections to save your original view, and briefly conclude your discussions.

Critically discuss the following famous Muslim creedal formula: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah.

Sunnis use(d) the exercise of reason in the forming of a judgment. But this was something that came to be regarded with great reserve. Why? What was the problem?

The Mutazilites argued that justice requires some freedom. Explain the reason, and critically discuss this philosophical problem.

What is it that distinguished the Shites from the Sunnis? Do you think that their division is justified?

Critically discuss the characteristics of the Sufi movement.
Requirements
Read the academic honesty policy in the course syllabus.

You do not have to answer all the questions in the topic. What I want to read is an essay, after all, not an exam paper. Try to focus on just one or two points.

You should try to narrow down the scope of your topic and discuss it in depth. Jumbling up many miscellaneous points in a short essay does not make a philosophy paper.

Papers with more than five serious grammatical or spelling errors will not be graded. They will receive no credits.

Papers written for the other class(es) will get no credits.
It is the four essay assignments that will evaluate your deep understanding of, and critical and creative approaches to our topics. For each essay assignment, you can choose to post your own discussion note, or you may comment on other student(s) note(s). Each post will give you maximum 14.5% of your final grade. Each essay must have at least 250 but no more than 500 words; if your essay is not quite perfect in its content or has fewer than 250 words, you will get 0%~14.49%. For a given assignment you may post as many essays (discussion notes or comments) as you would like, but only one best essay (discussion note or comment) will count toward your final grade. In short, all I need for each essay assignment is just one essay, whether it is your essay that you start the discussion thread with, or a comment essay on other student(s). Four of your essays will constitute 58% (4 x 14.5%) of your final grade.
Students are encouraged to read regularly other students discussion notes and comments. You are required to comment on other note(s) if there is another note already posted that has the same subject as yours that is, you are not allowed to start a new thread of discussion if your subject overlaps with other student(s). This is to encourage everybody to read other students notes regularly. A failure to comply with this requirement may result in no credit for your post. Just write a sentence or two at the beginning of your essay as evidence that you have read other students essays of the same topic.

The Case of the Overtime Sports Editor
You are the editor of a suburban daily newspaper with 25,000 subscribers. You have an editorial staff of 10, including a sports editor who covers all junior high and senior high school sports in town with the help of a part-time sports reporter and a few reporter stringers. There are two high schools and three junior high schools in town, which are the focus of the sports coverage.
The sports editor, who has been with the newspaper for five years, is in his mid-20s and is well liked by the staff and the community. The coaches and schools especially like him because of his tireless energy in covering their sports activities. He is a hard-working sports editor who manages to communicate well with those on his beat.
As editor, you have been with the newspaper for a year, and you work for a publisher who respects the newsroom’s autonomy yet also wants it to stay within its budget. Your editorial costs have been exceeding the budget since you arrived and the main reason is staff overtime. Unfortunately, the person for the lion’s share of that overtime is the sports editor.
The reason is clear and legitimate, at least to the sports editor. He routinely works 12-14 hour days trying to cover all he is responsible for. He is literally a workaholic and doesn’t seem to know when to stop. Oftentimes, you have come in to work at 8am only to find asleep at his desk from working late into the night. He knows he is good, He often shoots his own photographs because he likes his shots better than the other photographers on staff. He lays out his own pages and writes all headlines and photograph captions. The result is an award-winning sports section. But, he is also sending overtime rocketing off the charts.
You have talked with him about the situation a number ot times, but he doesn’t see a problem. He answers you with, “I bring a lot of readers to the sports section,” and “You can trust the fact that I get the job done right.”
At one time, you even hired a full-time sports reporter to help him. But, the sports editor did not trust the other guy because he was from out of town and did not know the local sports scene yet. It resulted in the sports editor not using the reporter at all. So, you moved the new reporter into a news slot when he was needed.
But now you have a new hire to justify to the company and you still have the sports editor’s customary 30 hours of weekly overtime to deal with. You have already limited everyone else to a maximum of 5 overtime hours each week, and they are not happy with that the sports editor is still grinding out his 30 hours. What are you going to do about it and what are the possible implications of your actions?
