Self-assessment is not only common but is also expected for humanitarian professionals. It allows you to evaluate your skills, values, and aspirations as well as how you fit within the profession. It also provides guidance about skills that you might need to develop. A strong humanitarian professional looks inside him- or herself to be able to understand the needs of others.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the media, “Layers of Me: Introduction.” Think about your professional aspirations in becoming a humanitarian professional. In what work do you aspire to engage? Where do you think you might fit best?

Assignment Details (350 WORDS)
The last quarter of the 20th century saw the dawning of the age of technology. Technological advances have sprung forward at such a quickening pace that it is difficult to remain on pace with it. What was once the latest, most sophisticated device yesterday, is now today’s old news and tomorrow’s junk pile.
In the war of protecting infrastructure elements and sectors, technology has replaced human presence. Technology is now the “eyes and ears” of protection. Technology is used to test steel and concrete, audit financial records, record data, project an analysis, and provide a security presence where people cannot.

Alcohol poisons and kills; Abstinence and Prohibition save lives and safeguard health.
Dr. S.S. Goldwater, formerly Health Commissioner of New York City, stated the decision of science, the final opinion of our nation after a hundred years of education upon the subject of alcohol.
“It is believed that less consumption of alcohol by the community would mean less tuberculosis, less poverty, less dependency, less pressure on our hospitals, asylums and jails.”
“Alcohol hurts the tone of the muscles and lessens the product of laborers; it worsens the skill and endurance of artists; it hurts memory, increases industrial accidents, causes diseases of the heart, liver, stomach and kidney, increases the death rate from pneumonia and lessens the body’s natural immunity to disease.”
Justice Harlan speaking for the United States Supreme Court, said:
“We cannot shut out of view the fact that public health and public safety may be harmed by the general use of alcohol.”

Temperance Council, Washington D.C., September 20, 1920. The National
Temperance Council was created in 1913 to work for Prohibition.

When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it? This assignment asks you to apply a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario. You will write a paper that presents a synthesis of your ideas about solving the problem using this systematic approach. As Voltaire said, “No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.”
Choose one (1) of the problem scenarios as a topic choice for your paper
Scenario 2: Your child comes home from school with an assignment sheet for a school project. He / she is very excited about the project and begins work immediately, doing research on the Internet and gathering materials. You read over the assignment sheet and notice that your child is not including all of the required items in the project, and you have some ideas for how to improve the quality of the presentation. You recently read an article in a parenting magazine about the importance of a child developing responsibility for his/ her own learning. You recall the many ways in which your parents took over your school projects. You, on the other hand, want to encourage your child’s confidence in his / her ability to complete a project independently. The next day, you are at the grocery store when you see a parent of a student in your child’s class. That parent has spent over $30 in supplies for the science project and is taking a day off of work to put the pieces of the project together.
Review the six-step problem solving process outlined in the webtext, based on the article “The Problem Solving Process” located at http://www.gdrc.org/decision/problem-solve.html:
• Step One: Define the problem
• Step Two: Analyze the problem
• Step Three: Generate options
• Step Four: Evaluate options
• Step Five: Make your decision
• Step Six: Implement and reflect
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Define the problem in the scenario that you have chosen.
2. Analyze the problem in the scenario.
3. Generate options for solving the problem in the scenario.
4. Evaluate the options for solving the problem.
5. Decide on the best option for solving the problem.
6. Explain how you will implement the decision made and reflect on whether this option was the most effective.
The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:
• Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
• Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
• Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
• Based on the guidelines in SWS, “A well-researched assignment has at least as many sources as pages.” Therefore, since this assignment requires you to write at least 4-5 pages, you should include at least 4-5 references.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
• Recognize the hindrances to the decision-making process in order to apply problem-solving skills to a variety of situations.
• Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.

One of the trends marking the continuing transformation of the U.S. health care industry is the dramatic increase in the pace of competition.

· Describe the different forms of competition that take place among various types of health care organizations.
· Evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of competition in health care and suggest alternatives if competition was not the primary driver of operations in the U.S. health care system.
· Explain the elements of successful competition and the use of competitive intelligence.
· Describe the influence competition has on the services offered by health care organizations and the choices patients have.
Your paper must be:
three to five double-spaced pages
minimum of two scholarly sources that were published within the last five years.
