Why do you think people tend to be satisfied with the effectiveness of the treatments they receive that are based on the ethno-etiologies?

Many cultures have ethno-etiologies that provide explanations for illness that are not based in science. From a biomedical perspective, the non-scientific medical treatments provided in these cultures have a low likelihood of success. Despite this, people tend to believe that the treatments are working.
Why do you think people tend to be satisfied with the effectiveness of the treatments they receive that are based on the ethno-etiologies?
In transcultural nursing practice, why would it be important for nurses to understand such ethno-etiologies when nurses interact with patients of different cultures?

Postwar Japan

Students in this course will write a ten to fifteen page paper describing and assessing events, episodes, developments, or personalities in recent East Asian history.

These topics are not to be simply recounted (told), but instead assessed—were they truly significant, did they have a positive or negative effect on East Asian history (and why), etc. Remember when writing an essay or paper to use the following format: 1) Introduction—in which you state your argument or thesis, 2) main body, in which you support your argument with evidence, and also further develop it 3) Conclusion, in which you restate (and rephrase) your argument on the basis of your evidence A certain length isn’t of paramount importance—you can make your case concisely or go into a fair amount of detail, as long as you make a good argument and do a good job of supporting it. In other words, the length mentioned above isn’t an absolute requirement, but instead a target you should aim for; shorter papers would likely omit necessary details, while at the same time ‘padding’ papers to get them to a certain length is definitely to be avoided.

When writing history, past tense should be used. Also, since we’re not writing intricate diplomatic histories, where subtleties and nuance have to be employed, using an active voice rather than a passive one would be best. Use clear, direct language, especially when stating your thesis.

As for the material you base your paper on–stick to written sources, whether primary or secondary—there’s a lot of information on the internet, but a lot of it is suspect, so your best bet is probably using the Web to point to the written sources you’ll need. Be sure to cite your sources, using endnotes and a bibliography; I’d like to see the Chicago Manual of Style guidelines followed, since they are the standard for history papers, but the APA format is fine.

Your paper topic is due about a month before the actual paper itself. Turning in either early is perfectly acceptable and especially valuable in the case of the paper topic, since it will increase the amount of time I can devote to giving you feedback and suggestions.

You must provide three or four body paragraphs, each of which is focused around one main idea stated in a topic sentence, and centered around the connection between direct quotes from both authors.

ANALYTIC ESSAY 4 (AE4)
FINAL DRAFT (1700 words):
Armstrong, Karen. “Homo religiosus.” The New Humanities Reader Edition 6e. Edited by Richard Miller and Kurt Spellmeyer. Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning, 2016. pp. 2-21.
Dillard, Annie. “Seeing.” Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. New York: Harper Perennial, 1974. pp. 16–36.
Sousanis, Nick. “The Shape of Our Thoughts.” Unflattening. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2015. pp. 50-67.
INSTRUCTIONS
Speaking of linguistic representation in his graphic essay “The Shape of Our Thoughts,” Nick Sousanis claims, “Its wholeness conceals its limitations and offers the impression that it’s complete” (Sousanis 57). Similarly, Karen Armstrong in “Homo religiosus” describes “an appreciation of the limits of language and understanding” (Armstrong 18). Annie Dillard at one point says that “Seeing is very much a matter of verbalization” (Dillard 33) but also discusses seeing “without utterance” (35). All of these writers discuss language, its limits, and foreground the importance of the imagination.
For your fourth analytic essay assignment, write an essay in response to the following question:
What role does the imagination play in determining language’s limits?
Your essay should put forward an original thesis that responds to this question, drawing from the terminology and examples discussed by Armstrong, Dillard, and Sousanis to do so.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
Have you considered how to specify your terms to respond to the prompt?
Imagination:
Is the imagination fantastical? playful? serious? mythical? rational? descriptive? emotional? expressive? attentive or inattentive? Interested or disinterested? conscious or unconscious?
Does it play a role in ritual? in expectation? in convention? in story? in identity? in perception? in empathy? in communication? in logical understanding?
Language:
What do languages allow us to do? How well do they accomplish this?
What different kinds and modes of languages do you see in the readings? What relation do they have to imagination?
What counts as a language? Is it verbal? spoken or written or thought? facial or gestural? Is it linear? metaphoric? imagistic? narrative? persuasive? factual? impressionistic? personal or communal? standardized?
Limits:
Does a limit disable or enable? To the extent that language has limits, is this confining or expanding?
What aspects of language can be limiting or limited? signs? concepts? abstraction? mediation? conventions of structure and sense? descriptions? expressiveness? representability? thinkability? universality of cultural habits? experientiality? presence? accuracy? honesty? communication? connection? embodiment? self-reflection?
What is the ineffable? Are there aspects of experience that remain outside of language? If so, why?

Pricing methods report on the product portfolio of L’Oréal Paris consumer line

Hi! I am looking for an great writer with a lot of experience in Marketing reserach, reports and plans, especifically, someone with knowledge in Pricing, to produce a report on Pricing methods of L’Oreal Paris, according to the detail below – please read carefully and only accept if you have knowledge in pricing strategies and reserach.
Develop a 1500-word (min.) Pricing methods report on the product portfolio of L’Oréal Paris consumer line.
Please use sufficient secondary data obtained from Statista or other reliable sources to briefly characterize the performance of the brand. Also, information from in-depth research from the L’Oréal pages in Europe, and biggest European retailers to collect different price lines and price points with sufficient information to conduct a price analysis.
You must use the primary data collected via online survey to make an analysis of the product portfolio of the brand. Include aspects such as purchase behavior, brand awareness and feedback on products related to L’Oréal Paris, to build a strong base to connect to the pricing methods analysis and to further develop a substantial conclusion based on both Pricing methods found and consumer insights. The survey results will be shared with you, through a presentation on L’Oréal’s product portfolio to take images and results information. I will also include some suggested bibliographies and a Statista dossier on L’Oréal.
A thorough analysis of all the data gathered should follow, and a diagnostic should be performed on the product portfolio in accordance with the relevant Pricing concepts, indicating price lines and price points, as well as the different products for each positioning within the line. Given that L’Oréal Paris has five different product types, please base the research in the three following: Make-up, Skin care, and Hair care; and choose four or five of the most popular products available at global scale of each product line to make the price comparisons.
You must consider the concepts of price management, pricing strategies (customer-value based, cost based, competition based, product life-cycle strategies, price lines and price points, etc.) and the key components that need to be considered when developing a price strategy – clients, segmentation and placement, image/positioning, price flexibility and competition. Use these concepts to match and explain the findings in the research.
You need to use sufficient breadth, depth and primary/secondary data to enable you to produce a reasonably complete pricing methods report.
Thank you! 🙂
