In selecting the point you are trying to make, and the article you choose, you may use any of the state and/or local issues we have read about or discussed in class. ***(Bureaucracy and the Spoils System, Judicial system, gerrymandering)*****
Your blog is to be between 500 and 700 words. Your blog is to use the article you have selected and use it as a point of discussion for some point you want to make to others. You are NOT to restate what the article says. YOU are REACTING TO something in the article and using it as a point to teach your reader about a point you wish to make. Blogs are more like editorials in the newspaper than news stories in that paper. You are to have a strong opinion and make strong arguments for it.
In addition, make sure your news story is about a STATE or Local GOVERNMENT issue. It cannot just be a local issue, like “Disney World is having a busy season”. So, make sure your article and blog are directly linked to, and discuss, something about State or Local Government. Successfully choosing a state or local government issue is also graded.
Provide the link to the article in the blog.

Measurable metrics
Content planning outline
Your plan should be written with a professional business writing style, which includes the following:
1” margins
Double-spaced
Professional and legible font
Headers
Page numbers
Executive Summary
After you have written your student blog social media marketing plan, please summarize the main ideas in this single-spaced executive summary. (1 page)
Market Research
Begin your marketing research by explaining the idea behind your blog. Explain who would read the blog and what type of valuable content you will be providing to your readers. Include a section with a competitive analysis. Discuss competing blogs and discuss what value they bring to readers. When does your follower read blogs? What type of comments do you see on your competitor blogs? Talk about the blog structure, design, post schedule, content and anything else that you think is important. Next, summarize what makes your blog different from your competition. (1 page)
Targeting/Positioning
Now that you understand the competitor blogs in the market, research your Target Market (TARKET). Define your target reader in terms of demographics, psychographics, and social media behaviors. Where does your TARKET find information through their social networks? Make a list of keywords using Google tools (like Google Keyword Planner) that your TARKET might be searching for on Google. After you have analyzed this information, create a social media positioning map that compares your blog to the other blogs in the blogosphere. If you forgot what a positioning map is from MKTG 3600 here is a short explanation http://www.marketingteacher.com/positioning/ (Links to an external site.)(1/2 page)
Social Media Audit
Since this is a new blog, most of your stats will be at 0. However, if you already have a blog please list your stats so we can see your progress over the semester. Take a snapshot of your competitions’ social media audit. Look at how many people comment on your competitors’ blog posts. You can also look at their social media platforms like Facebook/Instagram/Twitter (if they have them) to see how many people are following their blog. You can put this information in a chart. (1/2 page)
Objectives
Set goals for your blog in terms of analytics. Since we are using WordPress.com, you will need to look at the analytics features in WordPress.com to understand how to drive traffic. Write down at least 3 objectives for your blog. Objectives can be to increase followers to 30, to inform you TARKET about products or services, to create blog awareness, etc. (½ page)
Marketing Strategy
Determine the best strategy to achieve your KPI objectives. Will you use an advertising, engagement, contests, sales promotions, product reviews, positioning strategy? Talk about your strategic ideas to reach your KPIs. (1 ½ pages)
Measurable Metrics
Forecast how you will get followers for your blog. List the top three ways you will obtain followers. (½ page)
Editorial Content Planning Document
Create an editorial content planning document that outlines your blog content schedule with hard deadlines for yourself. You will need to create a schedule for 10 blog posts (2 blog posts for the next 5 weeks), with due dates for each post. Remember you need 2 list posts, 2 narrative posts, 2 sectional posts, 2 multimedia posts, and two posts of your choosing. Although your student blog should sound fresh and current, having a plan gives you a marketing strategy for where your brand is going and how to get there. Create a spreadsheet with calendar dates and content ideas. The spreadsheet chart should have the following: headers date, Blog title, Blog type (list, narrative, sectional, or multimedia), and call to action. (1 page)
affirmative action policy
The analysis should be developed in APA style with the appropriate grammar, format, and appearance of a graduate research paper. The integration of course material should be included, through citations of appropriate material, for key point illustrations. The content should show clarity of thought, the relevance of the paper’s topic and analysis of the course’s policy orientation, the logic of presentation, correctness, convincing argument(s), and extend of independent fact-finding through the exploration of various relevant data sources to support your analysis.
Circuits and Generators Lab
This math exercise is a little bit different and is going to give you the opportunity to try out some of these numbers in real-time, even if you don’t have a circuit kit in front of you. Go to this link (链接到外部网站。) and download your own copy of the lab. Follow along with the descriptions and answer each question, showing your work if necessary. When you’re finished, upload the completed document back here.
Pathology of Hematology
Each student must complete a 5-7 page, double-spaced research report on a subject related to Hematology, or the pathology of hematology. This report must be typed or word-processed and must have standard 1-inch margins, double spaced, and use 12 font size print.
Students must use a minimum of four separate sources for their research, including scientific journals, books, magazines, and newspapers.
I will provide you with additional information on citation requirements and whether a particular topic is appropriate. APA style will be acceptable.
Restate/explain (in your own words) James Rachels’ argument for the conclusion that Cultural Relativism is False.
Paper #2
In about 700-900 words (approximately 3-4 pages), do the following:
1) Restate/explain (in your own words) James Rachels’ argument for the conclusion that
Cultural Relativism is False.
In other words, identify the reasons (premises) that Rachels provides in favor of this
conclusion, and explain how those reasons (premises) are used to reach his conclusion.
Here is a skeleton of the argument Rachels provides for his conclusion:
(Premise 1) [he explains what Cultural Relativism is]
(Premise 2) [he shows the logical consequences that come with accepting Cultural Relativism as true]
(Premise 3) [he explains why these consequences are unreasonable]
(Premise 4) [he explains given how unreasonable these consequences are Cultural Relativism ought
not to be accepted as true]
(C) Cultural Relativism is False.
As you read the article, identify the sections where he is brining up these points and in
your paper elaborate on them. Make a coherent presentation for Singer’s case.
2) After you have done that, reflect on Rachels’ conclusion and his reasons for the
conclusion.
a. Do you agree with Rachels? Why or why not?
i. If you do agree with Rachels, what is a possible objection one may have
to his conclusion, and how would you defend Rachels position. For
example, someone may think there we have evidence that moral norms
have changed over time and that they are different from culture to culture.
For example, eating cows is morally permissible in the US, but not in parts
of India. Doesn’t this sort of example show that Rachels is wrong about
the nature of morality?
ii. If you do not agree with Rachels, why not? Which of the reasons for his
conclusion do you find problematic, and why? Or why don’t you think his
conclusion follows from his premises? Does the truth of Cultural
Relativism really entail the unreasonable logical consequences he claims it
does? If not, explain why not.
Your paper must be written in a standard 12-point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced,
with one-inch margins on all sides. Its pages must be numbered by your word-processor.
Content 1. The first paragraph must effectively, and clearly, introduce the topic and purpose of the
paper.
2. Do not begin your paper with a sentence like “Since the dawn of time, humans have
wondered about the nature of morality,” or something along those lines. Just get to the
point of the paper. Instead, you can begin with something like “This paper critically
examines ….”. Then you can move into what the topic/purpose of the paper is.
3. Write your paper so that it can be understood by an undergraduate student who has
taken one prior philosophy course.
4. Make sure your sentences are grammatical and words are correctly spelled (read your
paper out loud, or have someone read it out loud to you).
5. Use short simple sentences when possible.
6. Make sure the paper is well structured. In other words, make sure it is easy to follow
what you are saying from paragraph to paragraph.
7. Make sure the paper accurately and thoroughly addresses the main questions of the
prompt.
8. Adequately define and explain technical terms. In other words, would a reader
unfamiliar with the material be able to understand the philosophical terms/jargon you
are using? (if you are not sure, have someone not taking the class read your paper).
9. Overall, make sure the paper gives a sense that you (the author) understands the
material and are able to explain it in a clear and effective way.
THEORY APPLICATION PRESENTATION
The primary purpose of this assignment is to comprehensively analyze and apply a nursing theory that would be appropriate to a DNP project. To do this, you are tasked to prepare an audio-visual presentation that focuses on one of the theories, presenting evidence backed by peer-reviewed journal articles and accredited resources. I WILL ADD AUDIO MYSELF. Just make the power point and type up the audio and I’ll record and add it myself.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE DNP PROJECT
An important consideration for the theory application presentation is its connection to the DNP project required to complete the degree program. Students are meant to demonstrate a synthesis of knowledge and the ability to translate evidence into practice. Your DNP project is meant to be:
Relevant to advanced practice nursing
Characterized by a systematic process
Targeted to a population of interest, addressing the contextual aspect of the population’s setting
Conceived with measurable outcomes and with a dissemination component.
For the theory application presentation, you must choose a theory that would be valid for a DNP project. One main way to start to think about your approach to the DNP project (and thus, the approach to the theory application presentation) is to decide whether you want to use an evidence-based practice (EBP) or a quality improvement model as the basis for your project.
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE:
Evidence-based practice involves the integration of best evidence, patient preferences, and clinical expertise as a guide for clinical decision-making.
Examples: Creating and implementing new protocols, implementing clinical practice guidelines
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT:
Quality improvement involves improving patient care through identifying patient care problems and implementing a plan for improvement.
Examples: Implementing a new screening tool in the clinic, improving documentation of critical lab values.
You are encouraged to use this assignment as a chance to either begin research and work for your future DNP project or continue your efforts on an ongoing DNP project. For examples of DNP projects, see the doctoral project repository at the Doctors of Nursing Practice website
(Links to an external site.)
. For more about the DNP project, consult the Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree Handbook
(Links to an external site.)
You should have your theory already chosen and your presentation well underway. If you have not started your presentation, please contact your course instructor right away. Your presentation will include two major components as outlined in the organizer below.
The theory description is a comprehensive summary of the salient aspects of the theory. The components of this section break down into:
The Theorist
A comprehensive analysis of theories includes a careful consideration of the theory’s author. Areas for exploration include experiential background, educational background, employment, and reconstruction of the professional and academic networks that surrounded the theorist while the theory was evolving.
The Paradigmatic Origins Of The Theory
To identify the paradigm from which the theory may have evolved or other theories that may have influenced its development, the review considers the following:
References, bibliography provided
Background of theorist, educationally and experientially
Sociocultural context that may have influenced the theory’s development
Analysis of the theory in relationship to these components provides answers to three major questions:
Is the theory derived from and built on a specific paradigm?
What are the origins of the paradigm?
Why was this particular paradigm used?
More specifically, on what prototype theory or paradigm did the theorist build the conceptual structures? How extensively is the original paradigm or theory used?
The Internal Dimensions Of The Theory
Dimensions described in this section help in analyzing a theory to enhance understanding of the approaches used to develop it, in delineating gaps in the theory, and in giving perspective to why some omissions are not necessarily gaps in the theory but in some instances are merely what the theory intended.
Like the description of the theory, the application is composed of several important parts.
Diagram Of Theory
The clarity of theories and models is further enhanced by a visual representation of the theory. Provide a visual representation of the theory so that its various points can be seen in context with each other.
Circle Of Contagiousness
The final test of any theory is whether it is adopted by others. The units of analysis here are geographical location and type of institution. Theories in nursing have been used within the geographical areas from which they emanated. Rogers’ theory is used at New York University and tested by Rogers’ students; Johnson’s is used in Los Angeles and tested by her students. Therefore, when a theory begins to cross several concentric circles from its origin, its circle of contagiousness increases, and we can infer that the theory is receiving more acceptability, uninfluenced by the theorist.
Usefulness
Application of the usefulness of a theory encompasses four areas: its potential for usefulness in practice, research, education, and administration.
Grading Rubric:
1.Identify the practice problem you want to improve. Ask: What do you want your DNP project to be about? (10 points)
2.Identify the middle-range theory you plan to apply to the problem. Identify what type of theory from the following categories:
a) Descriptive
b) Explanatory
c) Predictive
Then ask: Why will this theory be compatible with your chosen practice setting? (10 points)
3.Literature review: Find at least 3 recent (2017–2022) studies that support the use of your chosen theory (10 points)
4.Assessment of Success: Ask the following questions:
a) In the studies you found, was the theory used successfully?
b) Could you reproduce their study in your chosen population? (10 points)
DNP Project Planning: How do you plan to complete your DNP project? Answer the following questions:
a) What is your chosen population?
b) What assessment or intervention do you plan to implement?
c) What will it be compared against?
d) What is the desired outcome?
e) What is the timeframe of your intervention or assessment? (20 points)
APA usage and grammar (10 points)
Presentation style: Speech is clear, easy to understand, comfortable speed, no excessive background noise, etc. (5 points)
Presentation visual: Minimal use of words on slides, use of pictures/visual elements, easy to read, etc (5 points)
References: Use of at least six references for presentation (10 points)
Presentation timing: Total presentation runtime should be 5 to 7 minutes (10 points)
What is the impact of an individual’s culture and identity on their position in society?
Dina seems to struggle with her economic class, her race, and her sexuality in the story
“Drinking Coffee Elsewhere.” Because all of these elements affect her identity, she
seems to have trouble figuring out how to be her “authentic self.” In the sources you
have viewed and read in this module, the authors have discussed the concept of “single
story,” and stereotypes. Before drafting the essay, think about the following ideas:
Review and Consider the Identity Sources:
In ZZ Packer’s “Drinking Coffee Elsewhere,” Dina struggles to figure out how to be her
authentic self. In Chimamanda Adichie’s TEDTalk, she discusses the dangers of
stereotypes and what she calls “single stories” that are perpetuated by groups of
people. Mariam Thalos discusses the connection between identity and freedom and
claims that freedom is the result of self-conceptual acts that often defy social norms and
oppressive systems. Nicolas Geeraert points out that the origins of psychology focus
primarily on Western culture, and calls for a cross-cultural approach that examines the
effects of culture on the shaping of our mental processes. Annie Paul writes about
unconscious bias and explains why people create stereotypes. Claude Steele discusses
the term “stereotype threat” which affects individuals who are members of stereotyped
groups and cultures.
Review and Consider the Identity Essential Questions:
What is the impact of an individual’s culture and identity on their position in
society?
Does the opportunity for freedom exist for all cultures and identities, or is the
opportunity more limited for some cultures and identities?
Do stereotypes about communities or cultures affect our freedom to cultivate an
authentic personal identity?
Writing Prompt
In “Drinking Coffee Elsewhere,” Dina is having an identity crisis. Consider
unconscious stereotype and single story, as discussed in Identity sources.

Describe this treatment plan and your rationale for this plan in the discussion thread.
Read the Case Study Synopsis.
Charles approaches your private group practice to seek counseling. You have received vital information from the intake packet that you and your classmates have developed. Assume your colleague has submitted a synopsis in your weekly treatment team meeting.
On the basis of this case study, you and your classmates need to engage in a reflective team process and generate the ideas for developing a treatment plan for your client. You must be sensitive to the diversity of the client and follow the American Counseling Association’s (ACA’s) code of ethics. Prepare a treatment plan for your client based on the case study and using an existential humanistic approach. Describe this treatment plan and your rationale for this plan in the discussion thread. Respond to the assignment using the lessons and vocabulary found in the reading. Support your answers with examples from scholarly literature such as peer reviewed journal articles and cite your sources using proper APA format.
Assume that Charles has been attending your private group practice for two months. However, one of your colleagues decides to bring this case forward for review. Your colleague explains that the treatment plan was unsuccessful due to Charles’s resistance and some therapeutic errors, resulting from the counselor’s blind spots. Your colleague explains that during supervision, she observed Charles’s decision-making and problem-solving style. She recognized that Charles would most likely respond to the cognitive-behavioral approach instead of the existential-humanistic theoretical approach used in your initial treatment plan. She decides to request inputs on developing a cognitive-behavioral treatment plan. Therefore, you need to modify your initial treatment plan. What ideas will you provide to develop the cognitive-behavioral treatment plan? Provide a detailed explanation of what information you might need and what goals you might set based on cognitive-behavioral theories. You must be sensitive to the diversity of your client. So, structure your responses in a manner that they are aligned with the American Counseling Association’s (ACA’s) code of ethics.
