Thesis statement: 

 Different types of dance styles are used in hip hop, depending on the message and audience. As dancers, it is essential to align the dancing style to pass the hip-hop message being communicated. B-boying is the first and come dance associated with hip hop dancing, and it is also referred to as break dancing. It is characterized by acrobatic moves guided by the sound and message of the particular hip-hop song. The footwork moves are also applied as part of the dance as the dancer moves the body and freezes depending on the tempo of the music. Locking is another style while dancing hip hop, which includes faster movement of body parts with a short pause with exaggerated technical gestures. Funk style is another dance style used in hip hop dance and applies sharp and fluid movements, which are highly choreographed. Therefore, hip hop is a better music type that applies different dancing styles.

Unit VII Reflection Paper SP

/in /by

 

Instructions

As you learned in this unit, work settings are strongly linked to social interactions, perceptions, and decision-making. For this assignment, you will compose a reflection paper in which you will consider how topics studied in social psychology influence these concepts in the real world.To complete your paper, first, pick a topic you previously learned about in this course. Then, address the following points.

  • Define your chosen topic as it was presented in the prior unit.
  • Describe how your topic could be applied in a work setting. In your description, be sure to mention the similarities and the differences you would expect in applying your topic to the real world.
  • Would your chosen topic be perceived as beneficial or detrimental if you were in the role of employee? Why?
  • How would your perspective on the topic change if you were in a nonpaid position, such as a volunteer or intern?
  • Think about the concepts of behavioral economics. What is a rational course of action to protect (if a detriment) or promote (if a benefit) yourself, as an individual employee? How does this compare to actions that protect or promote the company at large? How could you balance the two?

Your response should be at least two pages in length. You must use at least one academic source as a reference in your paper. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Please format your paper and all citations in accordance with APA guidelines.

Discussion reply (with 2 references)

The results of my strength finder assessment revealed my five signature themes are harmony, empathy, futuristic, developer, and discipline. This is basically saying I avoid conflict because I do not believe that the tension derived from conflict accomplishes anything, I can sense the feelings of those I interact with and can see others’ perspectives whether I agree with them or not, I look to the future rather than focusing on the past, I can see what others have to contribute to the situation at hand and make them feel successful in their efforts, and I am basically a creature of habit that requires organization and order. I feel this is a very accurate description of myself.

            The two values I would most like to keep strong an continue to develop would be empathy and developer. I truly believe that first impressions should never be the basis of decisions regarding individuals. You never know what lies below the surface. Everyone has strengths and some are more aware than others of what those are. I enjoy seeing those strengths and bringing them to awareness and building on that. This also involves empathy. Without being able to experience things from another perspective, it is not possible to really get to know that individual. To know someone’s strengths, you must be able to see their world as they see it. From a leadership standpoint, empathy is necessary to connect and build a respectful, healthy relationship with those who work with you. This relationship is the foundation on which everything in the system is built and needs to be solid for successful outcomes (Masters in Communication, 2021).

            I value being empathetic to others and being able to view the world through more than one lens. I would like to uphold this value in all that I do now and going forward with my career. Another core value I hold dear is my ability to be a team member. I know when a leader is needed and when I need to step back and let the experts take control. I love being part of a collaborative team. I feel reassured that good decisions are being made when the perspective of more than one individual of the care team is involved in the process. There is a reason for a care team and that speaks for itself.

            Two of the values I would improve on would be harmony and discipline. While conflict is not desirable, it can be constructive. Not everyone is going to agree all the time on issues and those differences need to be addressed and resolved. Giotis (2010, para. 2) states that “conflict is the driving force for change”. Constructive resolution can lead to great results and new ideas. As leaders, it is our job to work through conflict and come to a resolution that can benefit everyone involved (Giotis, 2010).

            The world of nursing is not predictable. Needing complete order and structure is not necessarily a bad thing, but there needs to be some room for the unpredictable. I am the first to admit that I like things done a particular way, but this is not always the best way. “Change is inevitable, we must embrace it, champion positive change, and acknowledge the feelings that arise during the process” (Carlson, 2015, para. 14).

 PLEASE READ FULL INSTRUCTIONS. NO PLAGIARISM! NO QUOTES, MUST PARAPHRASE. I WILL CHECK FOR RECYCLED WORK AND PLAGIARISM, SO WILL THE TEACHERS. THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE 07/26/21 AT 9PM PST. IF YOU CANT MEET THIS DEADLINE, DONT AGREE TO DO MY ASSIGNMENT. PRICE ISNT NEGOTIABLE. PLEASE READ GRADING RUBRIC. TEACHERS USE THE GRADING RUBRIC TO DETERMINE GRADE. IF DIRECTIONS ARENT BEING FOLLOWED, I WILL DISPUTE RIGHT AWAY. LETS AVOID THAT.  

 The purpose of this project is to identify and critique activities in progress (research, intervention programs, policies, etc.) for the elimination of inequalities that directly impact health such as racism, sexism, poverty, social exclusion, substandard housing, in California.

Please use the MEDICAL and answer these questions in a  format.  

 

The next section  focuses on your interpretation and research of the agency and/or program:

  • What are the strengths of the agency and/or program?
  • What are the limitations of the agency and/or program?
  • Do you think the activity they discussed will reduce the inequality?
  • What might be needed to improve effectiveness by year 2025?
  • What would you recommend to the professional for improving effectiveness on elimination of social inequality?

 Include some background on the way that the inequality affects health outcomes, including any relevant medical, social, etiologic, and epidemiologic information; a detailed description of the agency, its activities, goals, and operational structure; and the professionals’ thinking on its relevance to other health outcomes. 

assignment 7

/in /by

 

This week, you will prepare a single learning activity to support one of the learning objectives you wrote in Week 5. You need to integrate your professor’s feedback from Week 5 on your learning goal, outcome, and objectives, so watch for that feedback to appear in the Dropbox. You will want as much time as possible to ask any clarifying questions and then integrate your professor’s feedback into this week’s assignment.

In this assignment, you will thoroughly describe the intended learning activity. Remember that the activity should support a single objective, so the activity should be narrow in scope and short in time. Be sure to address the following:

  • State the learning objective (revised, if necessary, based on professor’s feedback)
  • Describe the learning activity with thorough details. For example, would it be a computer interaction, a discussion, a field trip, a presentation, a worksheet, a virtual reality session, etc.? What would be the content of the activity? What would the learners be doing?
  • Define alignment, and then justify the alignment between the learning activity and the learning objective. In other words, explain how the learning activity supports the objective. How would engaging in the learning activity help students be successful in an assessment of the related learning objective? (Assessment is addressed in Week 6.)
  • Define scaffolding, and then explain necessary scaffolding for the student to be successful while engaging in the learning activity. What would the students need to know or be able to do before engaging in the activity? What help or support would the student need during the activity?
  • Justify how the learning activity and scaffolding reflect consideration for diversity, equity, inclusion, ethical, legal, and political factors.

Remember, if you have questions, reach out to your professor and your peers in the NCU ID-CoP with a specific question or area in which you need help. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete the assignment when you probably won’t have time to receive an answer and use that answer while completing your work.

Length: 3-5 pages, excluding title and reference pages

References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.

Project Management Strategies

/in /by

Scenario

You work as the chief supply chain officer at NationaliTeas, a large international corporation that manufacturers and sells tea worldwide. Its mission is to “Make the world more awake through rejuvenating and refreshing beverages and sustainable practices that uplift workers, communities, and souls.” You have recently hired the company’s first project manager and have given them their first project: Revise current workflows related to packaging at one of your tea factories to be more sustainable and more lean. As this is their first project, you will be helping them complete their task.

Prompt

Read through the Project Charter for Workflow Improvement, then review the Process Workflow for Tea Production graphic. A text-only version is available: Process Workflow for Tea Production Text-Only Version. Based on these documents, recommend removing a total of four steps from the process flowchart that can help make the process more efficient and sustainable. Explain the implications of the proposed changes, and then help the NationaliTeas team address current items in the Issue Log located in the project charter.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

  • Lean Manufacturing: Evaluate the process flowchart to identify steps that do not add value based on the principles of lean manufacturing. Explain why you selected each step.
  • Sustainability: Evaluate the process flowchart and identify steps that should be removed or changed to improve environmental sustainability. Explain why you selected each step.
  • Process Changes: Explain the implications, both positive and negative, of removing or changing the steps from the process flowchart you identified in the previous two bullet points. Also explain how those changes would help alignment to the triple bottom line (TBL).
  • Issue Log: Analyze all entries in the Issue Log from the perspective of a project manager and explain the recommended course of action based on the project charter, noting the impact of the issue on scope, planning communications, and resourcing.
  • Operations Management Techniques: Discuss how operations management techniques, including project management and lean manufacturing, can add value to NationaliTeas.

Guidelines for Submission

Submit this assignment as a 350- to 500-word Word document. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Expert in the Field: Addressing Gaps in Practice

/in /by

 

For this Assignment, you will select a gap identified in Module 2 with RtI, PBIS, or MTSS. Referencing the Learning Resources and research conducted on each state, support your rationale as to why addressing this gap will improve services for diverse learners and enhance professional practice.

To prepare

  • Review the module Learning Resources. Pay attention to any gaps identified within the field of special education as it relates to improving services for students with diverse needs.
  • Select a gap identified in the research from Module 2 relating to RtI, PBIS, or MTSS.
  • Listen to Dr. Research discuss gaps between research and practice in relation to school-wide interventions. Reflect on all you have learned through this course and compare the research to your current cite. What types of school-wide interventions are being implemented with fidelity? What did you find in research that you don’t see being implemented in the field?

By Day 7 of Week 10

Submit a 3- to 5-page draft addressing a gap that you identified in the research that interests you. Include the following sections:

Section 1: Problem Statement

Provide a 1- to 2-paragraph statement that is the result of a review of current literature and practice that contains the following information:

  • A logical argument for the need to address an identified gap between research and special education practice. Make sure to clarify why you believe that this is a problem of practice in special education.
  • Preliminary evidence that provides justification that this problem is meaningful. Evidence should include a minimum of three to five key citations that support the relevance and currency of the problem. Note: These references need not all be from peer-reviewed journals but should be from reputable sources, such as national agency databases or scholarly books, and they should ideally be current, i.e., from the past 5 years.

Section 2: Significance

Provide one or two paragraphs informed by the topic outlined in the problem statement that explains the following:

  • How this study will contribute to filling the gap in special education practice identified in the problem statement.
  • What original contribution will this study make to the field of Special Education?
  • How this research will support professional practice or allow practical application, i.e., answer the “So what?” question.

Section 3: Questions

List the questions or a series of related questions that are informed by the purpose, which will lead to the development of what needs to be done to research the identified gap in practice. A research question informs the research design by providing a foundation for:

  • Generation of hypotheses in quantitative studies,
  • Questions necessary to build the design structure for qualitative studies, and
  • A process by which different methods will work together in mixed-method studies.

Section 4: Nature of the Study

Using one of the following terms as a subheading, provide a concise paragraph that discusses the approach that will be used to address the research questions(s) and how this approach aligns with the problem statement. The subheadings and examples of study designs are as follows:

  • Quantitative – for experimental, quasi-experimental, or non-experimental designs, treatment-control, repeated measures, causal-comparative, single-subject, predictive studies, or other quantitative approaches;
  • Qualitative – for ethnography, case study, grounded theory, narrative inquiry, phenomenological research, policy analysis, or other qualitative traditions;
  • Mixed methods, primarily qualitative – for sequential, concurrent or transformative studies, with the main focus on qualitative methods, and single subject.

Section 5: Social Change

Consider the relationship between the identified problem of practice and social change. In 2 or 3 paragraphs describe:

  • How the claim aligns with the problem statement to reflect the potential relevance in this study to society: How might the potential findings lead to positive social change for students with exceptionalities?
  • Then, give your perspective. Craft a Research Promise to Students with Exceptionalities. Take the researcher’s perspective as you craft this “promise.”
  • Example: As I move through my program, I promise to seek the highest and deepest levels of scholarship in order to bring about meaningful social change for students with exceptionalities. As a part of this promise, I will: list two to three ways in which you will pursue and fulfill this promise.

Section 6: References

On a separate page, cite the text, articles, and other current peer-reviewed research in support of your position. Be specific and provide examples. Remember to use APA format in completing this Assignment.

Note: The Instructor feedback you receive should be integrated into your final version of the assignment submitted in Week 11.

For this Assignment and all others in this course and throughout the program, you will be expected to use APA style (7th ed.). Use the Walden Writing Center as a resource for completing Assignments.
