– This is a one-page (250 words) assignment.

 

– Develop a thesis statement and support for one page.

 

– You don’t have to finish the argument; just begin the argument and support it for one page.

 

Note:

 

Make your thesis statement the first sentence of your essay and your forecasting statement the second sentence of your essay. The first paragraph consists of only two sentences, the thesis and the forecasting statement. The second paragraph begins with a focus on the first point in my forecasting statement.

Your post should be three paragraphs.

 

For the first paragraph of your initial post complete the following short exercise and answer the question below.

 

Use the key words “free emotional intelligence assessment” or “professional EQ assessment” to search for any free EQ assessment online. Attempt the assessment and process your results.

 

What useful information did you gather about yourself by attempting this assessment and how will the results help you become a better leader?

 

For the second paragraph of your post, select any one of the following bullet points and address all elements of your chosen bullet point. Select a different bullet point section than what your classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions on relevant topics. If all of the bullet points have been addressed, then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that varied responses continue.

 

• Kossoff (2016) stated, “The difference between being a manager and being a leader is simple. Management is a career. Leadership is a calling” (paras. 4 & 5). Kossoff further says that employees look up to leaders they can trust, leaders who work for the greater good of an organization and its people (Para. 8).
  Do you agree with Kossoff’s analysis? Why? Evaluate what types of individuals make the best leaders. What attributes, characteristics, values, and behaviors do these individuals exhibit? Why are the above-mentioned qualities important to these individuals’ success?

• E.L. Thorndike coined the term “social intelligence” in 1920. He referred to social intelligence as “the ability to understand and manage men and women, boys and girls—to act wisely in human relations” (p. 228).
  Assess whether social intelligence differs from emotional intelligence. Currently, why is there so much focus on the soft skills of social and emotional intelligence? Isn’t business more about profitability, productivity, growth, and efficiency and less about feelings and rapport? Do social and emotional intelligence fit with traditional management theories? How? Defend your perspectives.

• Numerous tests have been developed to measure emotional intelligence. Although these assessments may provide a relatively accurate picture of an individual’s current state of emotional intelligence, no assessment has been known to have a high degree of predictive validity—the ability to predict an individual’s success based on the assessment score.
  In reference to the free emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) assessment you completed at the beginning of this assignment, evaluate whether your score is an accurate reflection of your current level of emotional intelligence. Assess whether your score can predict your future success in any way.
• Consensus leadership and flat hierarchies are often promoted as positive ways to enhance collaboration and creativity in organizations. However, Leichtling (2004) stated “Consensus leadership and flat hierarchies are fads that are finally beginning to pass. They are simply not efficient or effective enough to succeed” (Para. 18). 

  What is your reaction to these differing points of view? Did Leichtling prove to be right? Assess whether leaders must create consensus within their organizations. What are the benefits of creating a consensus? What are the drawbacks for leaders who are unable to create cohesiveness and shared values within their organizations? Analyze which perspective communicates a higher understanding of emotional intelligence as it applies to leadership.

Only 1 Page

 

Cite any sources you use in APA format

For this week’s research paper, let’s start using your logistical skills in the South University Online Library. Look for practitioner-oriented publications that discuss the career of an academic or advanced researcher. The Chronicle of Higher Education and the Harvard Business Review are good places to start but cast a wide net across business disciplines.

 

Tasks:

 

• This assignment is different from normal; do not use peer-reviewed academic journals.
• You are investigating the work life and/or personal life of an academic or advanced researcher; however, you should not select one actual person’s life to investigate.
• Based on your review, synthesize at least 5 key insights about working in higher education and research. Support those insights with the articles from practitioner-oriented publications. Look for principles, best practices, and developmental ideas in your review.
• Propose the potential careers you believe would be a “best fit” for you, based on your research of multiple sources.

 

Submission Details:

 

• Complete your response to this assignment in a 5- to 8-page Microsoft 

No one topic touches so many elements of society quite like sex. Talking about sex means we have to consider gender, politics, culture, faith, morality and equality. Looking back we might think sex was a simple subject in the past – but as we see in the documents presented here, there is a lot going on. 

 

 

 

For this assignment, write at 1,000-1,500 word argument agreeing or disagreeing with this statement:

 

“Sex in Antebellum period was not just something everyone was having – it was something competing groups used to try to change social, political and economic culture in America as well.” 

 

Include an explanation of each of the four “frameworks” presented and at least five of the primary documents. 

 

Possible things to consider

 

• How did Americans from different walks of life view sex?
• Was sex something that was openly talked about? How was it used as a form of entertainment?
• What role did sex play in determining gender roles?

 

What evidence should you use?

 

• The documents presented in Attitudes Toward Sex should be your main source
• Information presented in class lectures 
• Any documents we have studied in class or from Reading the American Past
• Chapters 1-13 in The American Yawp
• Outside research is NOT allowed for this assignment

 

Things to include:

 

• Brief introduction and conclusion
• A thesis statement (a one sentence direct answer to the main question)
• Evidence. Include citations IN THE BODY OF YOUR PAPER for where your evidence comes from. If you do not do this, your paper cannot be graded.
• Examples:
  • Historian Helen Horowitz argues that there are four different frameworks through which to view antebellum sexuality (Horowitz, 2).
  • In the early American colonies, women worked right alongside men in almost every task (American Yawp, Chapter 3, Section II).
  • Women began making arguments for equality shortly after the Revolution (Reading the American Past, 9-3)
  • The Great Awakening changed many everyday people’s views on the role of religion in society (Wade Merrill, lecture, Week 3 Unit I)

Format:

• Submit electronically through Blackboard in one of the following formats: pdf, doc, docx, txt or rtf. Pages format cannot be read by the system.
• Include a word count at the end of the document

Write a paper (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of epidemiology and nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to “Communicable Disease Chain,” “Chain of Infection,” and the CDC website for assistance when completing this assignment.

Epidemiology Paper Requirements

 

1. Describe the chosen communicable disease, including causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment, and the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.
2. Describe the social determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.
3. Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?
4. Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and why demographic data are necessary to the health of the community.
5. Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organizations contribute to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.
6. Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example.

 

A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.

Draft Interview Sheet

 

As a paralegal, you will be asked frequently to conduct or to sit in on client interviews, whether initial consultations or follow-up or phone-based interviews. Taking the time before client meetings to draft a list of questions will help you not only to be prepared to make the most efficient use of everyone’s time but also will provide a starting point for identifying some of the potential legal actions, issues, and defenses involved.

 

Keep in mind you probably will have more questions that need to be answered once the client has given you the information you requested, so you need to plan accordingly with your time and materials.

 

Week 1 Tasks

 

Your supervising attorney asks you to interview John regarding his potential lawsuit. Draft an interview sheet. It should include the questions you will ask him to determine whether your law firm should represent John in his case. Additionally, identify at least three (3) others you will want to interview.
