Develop Analytical Recommendations that Drive Innovation based on Policy

Develop Analytical Recommendations that Drive Innovation based on Policy.

As a leading consultant, you have been tasked to identify, evaluate, and analyze policies in your country that can be both exploited and act as drivers of and for disruption.

Your analysis should consider the macro-dynamics, leading to interconnected and dependent industries and firms. It must be noted that policies are not independent; therefore, selecting a specific policy for your analysis should be part of your initial consideration.

In the absence of relevant policies to support and drive disruption, students can propose new policies. To achieve the above, must produce a 3000-word report.

Kindly note that a conceptual map is appriciated if incorporated. The use of transformational maps is encouraged.

Ensure that your analysis is contextualized—for example, by referring to the primary drivers of economic development in your country— Economic outlook? What factors were driving economic growth and development at the time? How can transformative technologies and businesses be created? Exploiting new avenues for economic growth?

Disruption through innovation or technology has the potential to drive economic growth. Examine how specific sectors innovate and how this contributes to economic development. What role does policy play in fostering disruptive innovation in an economy?

Do any country that is best to find information and policies on. Choice is yours.

Attached below is the rubric. Feel free to reach out for any questions at any given time.

Compare two cultures and annotate 2 sources

Compare the following two:

Khasi culture as depicted in “Meghalaya, India: Where Women Rule and Men Are Suffragettes” and Afghani culture as depicted in “Afghan Boys Are Prized, So Girls Live the Part”.

How are the cultures similar and/or different in terms of gender roles? Use specific examples from the texts to show the similarities or differences. Cite both quotes and paraphrases in MLA format.
You must include a works cited page.

Afterwards, you will annotate two sources you used for the comparison of both articles. One of those sources should be the article read ( Khasi culture as depicted in “Meghalaya, India: Where Women Rule and Men Are Suffragettes” and Afghani culture as depicted in “Afghan Boys Are Prized, So Girls Live the Part”.) The other source should be something you find doing your own research that you can potentially use in the essay.

For each source, you must write a:

1. Summary

2. Assessment

3. Reflection

“Araby” by James Joyce and “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carve

Using two readings, focus the paper on a single element or aspect of the texts, through which you should develop a
clear and significant thesis. This element might be , for instance, a theme , an idea, a metaphor, a symbol use of settings or any other aspect. Relate one text to another. you might examine your idea in light of similarities in the texts , the differences, or you could consider both points of contact and points of departure.
also
– Use two outside sources of literaray criticism or academic theory. This sources should be clearly incorporated into the paper and be cited on the Works Cited page.

Construct a dialogue between a devout Catholic woman (Lydia), a devout Jewish woman (Miriam) and a devout Hindu woman (Indira) that explores and explains the “divine feminine” in their respective traditions. Focus on the materials and readings covered in the course with special attention on the concepts of “sophia,” “shekinah,” and “shakti.”

1. Construct a dialogue between a devout Catholic woman (Lydia), a devout Jewish woman (Miriam) and a devout Hindu woman (Indira) that explores and explains the “divine feminine” in their respective traditions. Focus on the materials and readings covered in the course with special attention on the concepts of “sophia,” “shekinah,” and “shakti.”
2. Consider these two quotations from the final readings of the course:

a. “I’m asking myself this question about goddess religion: has it become, at least in some ways and in some instances, a move that pacifies feminist radicalism by endorsing a female divinity and thereby participating in theological discourse which is always already a glorification of masculinity. In other words, could a revision of Mary Daly’s maxim be true? Could this restatement be considered: ‘Briefly, if God (or Goddess) is, then male is God?’ (I’m just asking.)” (Goldenberg, 284).”

b. “It might seem that the women’s revolution should just go about its business of generating a new consciousness, without worrying about God. I suggest that the fallacy involved in this would be an overlooking of a basic question that is implied in human existence and that the pitfall in such an oversight is cutting off the radical potential of the movement itself” (Daly p.75).

While Daly is a critic of religious institutions in particular and patriarchy in general, she seems to envision a post-revolutionary existence in which the divine still figures. Goldenberg, on the other hand, indicts religion as it exists today, as irredeemably Christian, and primarily political rather than spiritual. Neither vision seems to have/had much traction “in real life” but do you think religion, however defined, could survive the end of patriarchy?

3. Explain the significance of Miao Shin in the journey of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara from India to China with particular reference to the divine as feminine.

4. Wonder Woman (2017) as goddess figure. Discuss with specific reference to the film and to other materials covered this term.

Submit both answers in ONE .docx or .pdf file. No cover page. Maximum 1000 – 1200 words total. (Each answer should be 500 – 600 words.)

Mental Health Issues During and Following Disasters

Read each of the following and give a reply back to each in 3-5 sentences.

1. If the disaster can be foreseen (i.e., predisaster) disaster managers may employ intervention strategies that include communication with the public that can provide appropriate actions needed for warning and evacuation procedures, the “prepositioning of resources and supplies… and last-minute mitigation and preparedness measures’ (e.g., sandbagging before a flood and creating barriers for buildings) (Coppola, 2021, p. 399-400). Post-disaster situational awareness begins when the disaster has been recognized by response officials. Once this happens the priority as posited by Coppola (2021) is to save lives. Resources will thus be mobilized to support various stakeholders that are involved in response and recovery. Response and recovery include (e.g., water and food provisions, emergency shelter, and fatality management). Another aspect of response and recovery is proving aid to traumatized victims. Oldham (2013) describes “the most recognized dysfunction of the stress response following a disaster or other traumatic event is posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (p.116, para. 2)). Response officials should have natural supports for families (e.g., counseling centers, family support groups, spiritual guidance, and meaningful activities to aid them through their distressing emotions).
Numerous ways are posited by Schultz et al. (2013) that provide mental health responses for preparing for such issues (e.g., prioritize mental health responses, guide oneself with identifying risk factors, use evidence-based guidance for mental health support, conduct and validate on-site mental health assessment, use intervention strategies that fit your specific needs, and make sure to address your postdisaster mental health needs).
Oldham (2013) provides preplanned steps that can be utilized for oneself and my teammates as (a) regular briefings, (b) mentoring new disaster response members with seasoned veterans, (c) encouraging work breaks, (d) providing security, (e) providing counseling, and (f) utilize exit interviews and counseling for both myself and my team.
Conrad and Levigne (2013) and Koenig (2007) posit that disasters threaten the personal safety of individuals involved, and given the possibility of psychological complications it is obvious that psychiatric counselors should be involved to aid in protecting the mental health of my team in the aftermath of a disaster. It is further opined by Koenig (2007) that psychological care should be available during the (a) “impact phase,” (b) “early aftermath phase,” (c) “short-term aftermath phase,” and (d) “long-term aftermath phase” (p. 934, para. 1). In summary if the psychological welfare of my team does not address there needs there may be long-term cognitive effects.

2. “Disasters threaten personal safety, overwhelm defense mechanisms, and disrupt community and family structures. They also may cause mass casualties, destruction of property, and collapse of social networks and daily routines” (Conrad & Levigne, 2013, Pg.99). During a disaster, crisis managers should prioritize the mental health of survivors during this stressful time by integrating “mental health promotion and care into disaster planning and response” (Oldham, 2013, Pg. 118). To assist survivors, I would implement screening for the development of PTSD as “research indicates that after natural disasters, approximately one in three survivors will develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and that many more may experience less severe anxiety disorders or depression lasting for years after the event” (Koenig, 2007, Pg. 935). I would provide ” psychosocial support in the early aftermath” of the disaster (Schultz et al., 2013, Pg. 11), and ensure that mental health services are available and easily accessible, such as through “school… for screening for and assessment and treatment of children’s mental health problems associated with disasters” (Oldham, 2013, Pg. 118) or other locally available distribution channels. Additionally, I would consider implementing evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, which “has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of” mental health problems (What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?, 2017, Para 1) through partnerships with local public health departments.

To prepare myself to deal with these issues, I would undergo “training and preparedness in incident management” and “training in stress management techniques” (Oldham, 2013, Pg. 118). Additionally, I would ensure a “clear understanding of roles and procedures” to enable efficient response in times of crisis (Oldham, 2013, Pg. 118). This training on the front end will decrease the impact of the diaster on my mental health. The better prepared I am for the event, the more I can help others assisting me with the response.

As a responder, I must acknowledge my own psychological pain and the stress experienced by my teammates. To protect ourselves from this type of injury, I would establish a supportive environment, by “partnering inexperienced workers with experienced veterans, encouraging work breaks, establishing respite areas for responders” (Oldham, 2013, Pg. 118), and providing opportunities for self-care and stress management. Additionally, after-action protocols should be in place to offer counseling and time off for workers dealing with personal trauma or loss (Oldham, 2013).

Furthermore, I would train workers to identify signs of mental health problems in their colleagues and encourage them to seek assistance when needed. To normalize mental health treatment, I would focus on “normalizing distressing signs and symptoms as much as possible and focusing more on functioning than on emotional states” (Oldham, 2013, Pg. 118). This approach will help create a supportive environment for both survivors and responders, promoting healing and recovery in the aftermath of a disaster.
