January 7, 2021 Leave a comment Marketing, Not applicable

Given recent events, many activities, including education, is shifting towards digital age. You are invited as a guest blogger to share your expertise on one of the marketing-blogs. Your task is to choose a short video advertisement of a global brand (Apple, IKEA, Nike, etc.) related to Covid-19 pandemic and provide a consultation of the used promotional mix elements in the advert from an international marketing perspective.

Please find the full description as well as a sample blog post and the corresponding feedback. So far I haven’t decided on which ad to focus, yet Apple’s “Creativity Goes On” seems like a plausible choice. You can find the full list of ads in the attached file. Please also check through the sample paper and the corresponding feedback. It is imperative that the focus is on the marketing mix elements that are emphasized by the brand in the ad.

HERE IS THE MAIN POST THAT ZANG RESPONDED TO

Discussion #1 Syllabus discussion

Read the syllabus (it’s long but has a great course description and intro to the course). Post any thoughts or questions you may have about the course overview and description. Does it surprise you to hear that some Humanistic therapists and theorists dislike the idea of therapeutic “interventions?”

General expectations for discussion posts~

The first post is generally a bit more scholarly and should include references, quotes, discussion of the readings. Responses may also include some of the above but are less formal. Ask questions or add to the topic. The idea is to deepen the conversation by commenting on your peers’ posts. Please be respectful of and learn from differences.

Please always give at least two responses to your peers. Ideally this will be done at several time points over the course of the discussion. The idea is that the discussion should resemble an in class discussion with lots of back and forth. It is helpful if you address your responses to the person or people you are responding to (e.g. “Marcia… I like what you said..”, so that they can quickly see that the response is meant for them. 🙂

In general, initial discussion post will be due by Sunday evening, and at least two responses by the following Wednesday evening. Please have fun with it! 🙂

Zangs REPOND TO THE MAIN POST
Hello all

First of all, I chose to take this course this semester so I could gain more knowledge from Dr. Settlage and begin my practicum soon after the completion of this course. To be frank, I am very anxious to start my practicum, but I understand that this class is required to move forward with in-person experiences. In the RC experience, I soon learned that I had A LOT to learn from not just my instructors but my peers as well. Many of them are more knowledgeable in this subject and for the first time in my academic career, I am looking forward to learning from my peers with an open mind.

I can understand why some theorists would disagree with the idea of therapeutic interventions because it can easily be thought of as the patient believing something is wrong with them and must be “fixed.” I see this as a narrow point of view and if I were the patient, I do not believe I would respond well to someone attempting to “intervene” in my life.

I believe this post, although the first posts are usually meant to be more scholarly, is supposed to be a bit more lighthearted since we are all getting to know each other and this is an introductory post of sorts. The syllabus helped me better understand my role and responsibilities in this class but I believe that I will struggle in this course a bit more because it is unique in the way that we are expected to rely on the therapeutic skills we have now and improve upon them as we move throughout the course. Person-centered therapy is all about wording and how a person can be guided to solving their own problems. I am naturally a problem solver, so this will be a challenge for me.

January 7, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Other

Competency
Compare and contrast the major characteristics of the U. S. healthcare delivery system with the systems of other developed countries.

Scenario
You are the new Director of the International Relations Division of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and have been tasked with researching and creating a draft healthcare delivery model for the U.S. As you work with your team, you discover that other developed nations have very interesting components that make up their healthcare systems. Before you complete a proposed U.S. healthcare delivery model that can be viewed as sustainable and crafted strictly for the U.S. given the healthcare climate and rules and government, you thought you should first compose an ideal healthcare delivery system composed of the best components from the world’s developed nations, including the United States.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Global Affairs is the diplomatic voice of the Department of Health and Human Services that fosters critical global relationships, coordinate international engagement across HHS and the U.S. government, and provide leadership and expertise in global health diplomacy and policy to contribute to a safer, healthier world ( https://www.hhs.gov/about/agencies/oga/index.html)

Instructions
Create a proposed healthcare delivery model based on a combination of developed nations’ health systems (including the U.S.) using the best parts of each: Outcomes, costs, and processes. The proposed model should include a full report that has the following elements:
A detailed definition of healthcare in the U.S. under this proposed model.
A SWOT analysis per country (minimum of 5 countries) from around the world. One country from each quadrant of the world is required (north, south, east, and west) and one country must be the U.S.
Each country should have a minimum of two strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats regarding their national healthcare systems’ outcomes, costs, and processes.
For example, Country 1: two strengths on the outcomes, two weaknesses on the outcomes, two opportunities on the outcomes, two threats on the outcomes. Two strengths on the costs, two weaknesses on the costs, two opportunities on the costs, two threats on the costs. Two strengths on the processes, two weaknesses on the processes, two opportunities on the processes, two threats on the processes.
A comparison chart of the costs of healthcare in the U.S. with the costs of healthcare in other developed nations.
A comparison chart of the U.S. health outcomes to the health outcomes of the other developed nations.
Recommend strategies you believe would be best to use in a healthcare delivery model for the U.S. only using the best parts of models from other developed nations.
The report should include two pages for each country, as well as a cover page and reference page.

In this discussion, you will explore the consequences of steroid abuse and identify the symptoms a potential patient may present with in the healthcare field.

Research the steroid hormone Nandrolone in peer-reviewed medical journals found on the Biology research guide. This site provides guidance on finding biology resources and citing sources. The site also identifies specific databases that are particularly useful for the field of biology.

In your initial post, discuss the consequences, signs and symptoms, and physiological changes that Nandrolone causes. Speculate on the mechanism of how Nandrolone causes feminization of males and masculinization of females. How could the same drug cause sex reversal?
