In this financial literacy assignment, you will research the starting salary as a licensed RN with your credentials in the area you hope to reside after graduation. Then you will create a budget based on your projected income. Finally, you will reflect on and summarize your research and budget calculations in a short essay. An example of this project is available in the Unit 10 Module.

Part 1:

Provide an overview of research including the location of the job, job title, and salary information. To research your starting salary, consider using the information provided at Salary.com and Payscale.com. Local government hospitals may also publish this information on their websites. If you plan on staying at your current location and job, be sure to indicate this information in your reflection. After you have found your potential salary, set up your monthly budget using only 2/3 of income to account for taxes and other deductions (called your net salary). For example, if you anticipate making $45,000/year, then 2/3 times 45,000 = 30,000. $30,000 / 12 = $2500 and that is what you want to use for setting up a monthly budget. Provide this information in your overview.

Part 2:

Table of expenses and graphical representation. When creating your budget, be sure to consider the following categories:

• Housing and living expenses (Rent/Mortgage, utilities, maintenance, etc.)

• Food

• Student loan payments

• Transportation

• Childcare (if applicable)

• Credit Card or other debt

• Car loans

• Continuous medical expenses

• Emergency savings

• Retirement savings

• Long term goal savings (i.e.: buying a home, new car, education, etc.)

• Discretionary spending (Eating out, entertainment, etc.)

• Insurance

Be sure to note the net amount (Income minus Expense) so you can see your balance each month in your table of expenses You will display this table in your results, as well a graphical representation of your budget using a circle chart, bar graph, or other relevant display. The table and graphical representation MUST BE copied into your Word document. There should be only one submission. It is not necessary to submit your Excel file. Be sure to have all tables and graphs titled and categories labeled appropriately.

Part 3:

Reflection. Your essay should summarize your findings of your salary research and discuss the implications of your budget. Essay should be a minimum of 200 words. Be sure to put references in APA format. Academic Writer is the recommended guide for formatting resources. The following information should be included in your essay:

• Why did you pick this location and job?

• Were you surprised by your expected salary and income after taxes were deducted? Why or why not?

• What were some challenges in creating your budget? What surprised you?

• Were you able to set up an emergency/savings fund? Why or why not? How can you prepare for unexpected expenses?

• How can you apply these budgeting tools to your current situation?

Part 4:

References. Be sure to put references in APA format. Academic Writer is the recommended guide for formatting resources. There should be a minimum of two references.

Write a paper on the Night Thematic Development (The book Night by Elie Wiesel)

Write a paper on the Night Thematic Development (The book Night by Elie Wiesel)Over the course of the memoir, the events of the Holocaust transform Elie’s relationships with himself, his family, and his faith. In the chart below, you will identify two quotes for each relationship at three different points in the memoir. This means that you will have Eighteen (18) total quotes on this chart. Each quote should be cited in MLA style, with the author’s last name and the page number from which you found it. This will make it infinitely easier when you use this evidence in your final assessment. You should use the Night Book pdf I attached to find the quotes.

Write a paper on development intervention analysis.

Write a paper on development intervention analysis.GGR 112 – Development Intervention Analysis About 1500 words
(Due: March 14th) (Weight: 25%)
The objective of this assignment is to analyze a policy/program/initiative related to globalization and development by drawing on the theoretical lenses and debates we explore in the course (lecture materials and assigned materials). This is not a research report, but a critical essay with a clear central argument (thesis statement).
A strong paper will 1) make connections between your topic and concepts, trends, and debates discussed in class and course readings (see examples below); 2) demonstrate attention to inequality and the development discourse.
Your paper must contain the components listed below (though not necessarily in separate sections). You can use different subheadings in the body of your essay if you wish, but it must contain all of these elements.
Introduction
A strong introduction includes: (1) an opening statement with initial contextual information that sets the stage for the thesis statement; (2) your thesis statement or main argument; and (3) an overview of how you will support your argument, in the format of a ‘roadmap’ of what is to come in the rest of the paper. Here you give us a preview of what is to come and how it will be organized.
Your thesis statement is a 1-2 sentence main argument that you will support in the rest of your paper. Please underline your thesis statement. Here are some tips for crafting strong thesis statements: http://advice.writing.utoronto.ca/planning/thesis-statements/Links to an external site.
Description of the topic
Provide background information on the policy/program/initiative you are analysing, including any necessary contextual information your reader will require to understand your paper. Ex. if you are discussing an intervention based in a particular city, you will need to give geographical information and a brief description of the dynamics in that city that are relevant to your topic. If you are discussing a social movement, plan, policy, or development project, etc., you will need to give the reader some historical background and the basic information about the topic. Remember that space is limited. Your reader does not need to know everything about your topic—just the elements that are essential for understanding your argument and analysis.
Key concepts framing the analysis
A strong paper will use a small number of key concepts from the course to ‘frame’ the whole analysis. In other words, concepts or approaches serve as a set of ‘lenses’ that you use to explore or evaluate the topic. This means that these concepts are central to your overall argument and discussion, rather than just ‘tacked on’ or ‘sprinkled in’. It should be clear to your reader that this paper was written for GGR112 (rather than it being just a generic report on a topic that could have been written for any class). It is useful to describe/define the concepts you have chosen to use before your reader gets to the analysis.
Critical Analysis
This section and section 5 are the most substantial sections of your paper. Here is where you discuss the interventio you have chosen (that you introduced in section 2) and present the evidence and examples that support your argument about the topic or issue. Evidence can by quantitative (ex. statistics) or qualitative (examples, cases, testimonies of people involved, etc.). You will link together your argument and your evidence using the lenses and concepts you introduced in section 3. This section should be composed of multiple paragraphs.
Conclusion
Here you restate the argument you have made. A conclusion can also be a good place to draw out any broader implications from your analysis. Ex. does your analysis suggest any pathways forward for policy or practice? Does your exploration of one specific case tell us anything that might be relevant to other cases (ex. other places? Other groups of people or movements?).
Some tips for writing this paper:
How do I engage concepts in a way that is ‘central’ to my analysis?
The examples below are just meant to get you thinking… you are encouraged to frame your argument in the way that best suits your topic.
Using concepts as a metric or standard by which to evaluate a plan, policy, movement, intervention, etc. For example, you might analyze how a food security program, government policy, or movement for women’s rights addresses structural or symbolic violence
Sample thesis: I argue that while X program temporarily addresses structural violence by improving access to X resource, its program design reinforces certain forms of symbolic violence by excluding X from meaningful decision-making and framing them as incapable of contributing value to such decisions. Therefore, this program reifies the identity of X community as intellectually/morally inferior ….
Use broader ‘course lenses’ that help you reveal certain key components of an issue or policy/program that might be overlooked if we did not apply these lenses.
Sample thesis: X government’s reliance on global remittances to provide a social safety net for its citizens is an example of a neoliberal flanking mechanism that suggests that individuals are responsible for their own wellbeing and celebrates the economic integration of globalization as a solution to the inequitable distribution of wealth worldwide. The global implications of such a policy can be understood using Young’s social connection model which would help us see how…
Sample thesis: The design of X program is rooted in modernization theory and strives to solve problems of inequality and insecurity through a strong drive for economic growth. While the program may have contributed to increased economic growth in the target region, the distribution of that wealth is such that it has not resulted in improved wellbeing, as measured by Gough & McGregor (2007).
Some concepts or lenses you might find useful:
Globalization (Ellwood)
Development (Black)
Human Rights (Coulter)
Structural and Symbolic Violence (Lectures)
Oppression, Discrimination, Eugenics, Colonialism (Lectures)
Economic Growth (Easterly, Rostow)
High Modernism, Modernization, Progress, Legibility (Scott, Li)
Migration, Remittances (Melo, Mekong Migration Network)
Problematization of poverty (Escobar)
Models of responsibility and accountability (Young)
Storytelling/Narrative/Discourse (Escobar, Hehir, Ngozi Adichie, and others)
Reification/Simulacra/Hyper-Reality (Hehir)
Democracy/Authoritarian Capitalism (Livesy)
Measuring Development (Stiglitz, Asif, Gough & McGregor)
Development as Freedom (Sen)
Neoliberalism and Structural Adjustment (Ellwood, Harvey, Guldbrandensen)

Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected?

A key skill in economics is the ability to use the theory of supply and demand to analyze markets. In this week’s discussion, you get a chance to demonstrate your ability to analyze the effects of Russia invading Ukraine on an industry of your interest (pathway or career interest). State whether the reality is as you expected.
Scenario: Will this affect the supply or the demand for new goods and/or services in your industry? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show graphically with before- and after-curves on the same axes. How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of goods and services in general? Explain your reasoning and include at least one credible source (news paper article, journal, or magazine) in APA. If you are unable to develop graphs digitally, draw your graph by hand, take a picture, then upload it to your discussion post.
