Week 3: Paper #1 Due

The older population in the United States is becoming more ethnically and racially diverse. In addition to racial and ethnic diversity, there will be growing numbers of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons entering their senior years who will present a unique set of challenges. The growing diversity of the older population presents challenges for gerontological nursing in providing culturally competent care.

Essential to the provision of culturally competent care is an understanding of:

  • The experiences of individuals      of similar ethnic or racial background
  • Beliefs, values, traditions, and      practices of various ethnic and racial groups
  • Unique health-related needs,      experiences, and risks of various ethnic and racial groups and persons of      similar sexual orientation
  • One’s own attitudes and beliefs      toward people of various ethnic and racial groups and persons of similar      sexual orientation, as well as those attitudes of copractitioners
  • Language barriers that can      affect the ability of patients to communicate health-related information,      understand instructions, provide informed consent, and fully participate      in their care

Your assignment is to write a 2 to 3 page paper choosing one of the following groups of older adults and address how you will provide cultural care for this group or the individual:

• Hispanic Americans

• Black Americans

• Asian Americans

• Jewish Americans

• Muslim Americans

• Native Americans

• Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender

China Through Western Eyes ESSAY #2 ONLY

/in /by

Only Need Completion of Essay #2 on this assignment 

Essay #2 Background: 

There are always two sides to every story. As for territorial claims in the South China Sea, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (1973), every country has the right to control territorial waters stretching out 12 nautical miles from its coast. They can also claim an exclusive economic zone extending up to 200 nautical miles, within which they can regulate economic activity like fishing and oil exploration. Foreign warships can pass through a country’s territorial waters in what the law calls “innocent passage” but cannot conduct operations there, such as military exercises. Is China’s military expansion and artificial island building in the South China Sea then illegal?  But again, there are no sides to every argument: 

Side #1, held by the United States and those countries bordering the South China Sea, including the Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia: China’s Nine Dash Line has no basis in law; China’s territorial claims are based on flimsy or non-existent historical evidence; China’s island building is illegal because these actions violate the United Nations United Nations Law of the Seas and United Nations Maritime Law (especially the EEZ component of UNML). (FYI: The U.N. Convention says states can build artificial islands in their exclusive economic zones, but it says countries can base their claims to maritime rights only on naturally formed land features).  

Side No. 2: China says it has a historical claim to everywhere inside its nine Dash Line, and these claims date back 2,000 years. For instance, in 111 BCE Han dynasty boats patrolled area in the South China Sea (SCS). Chinese records from 220-265 CE contain descriptions of some islands, and that Chinese boats traveled there.  Ruins of inhabited Chinese living structures and pottery from the Tang and Song dynasties have been found on some of the islands and reefs, indicating actual Chinese habitation. Chinese coins from the Tang (618-907) and Ming dynasties (1368-1644), dating from 713–1425, were found in reefs in the SCS. During the Ming dynasty in the 1400s, Chinese naval envoys passed through the area, writing about the islands. A map dated from about 1775 and maps from between 1810 to 1817, all made during the Qing dynasty, show the islands as Chinese territories.   

Source: https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/JIPA/Display/Article/2528218/historically-mine-the-potentially-legal-basis-for-chinas-sovereignty-claims-to/ 

For additional information on historical claims to the SCS, see the article by Professor Johannes Kurz, sent to everyone in the class earlier. 

Essay #2: Essay Question: Assume a position that is either supportive of, or against, China’s claim to all SCS waters and territory within its Nine Dash Line. Be sure to clearly articulate and explain the reasons why you are supportive of, or against, China’s claims. Every statement you make must be explained in detail and, where applicable and feasible, supported by facts (not opinions). Also, when making your argument, you might consider arguing how the arguments of those who oppose your view are unreliable or faulty.  For this essay question, you are free to use outside-of-class sources (in English or in Chinese) on occasion (please! Do not cite lots of outside sources! Just one or two will suffice.). Just make sure the information in sources you cite are factual and reliable. Tip: Beware of government propaganda and publications! Oftentimes such information is not reliable.  

Critical Article Essay

/in /by

  Pick one of the readings to write your essay on:

·         Hemingway, “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”

·         Flannery O’Connor, “A Good Man Is Hard To Find”

 

*1) Summarize, but also engage with, the argument in question from your Critical Article of choice.   Present his or her argumentative stance fairly while also evaluating  the merit of the argument being offered. Emphasize at least a section or  two of the article. Does the author make a credible case? Why or why  not? 

*2)  How does the critic approach the author and text in question? In other  words, does the critic offer a particular type of approach  (biographical, historical, psychological) towards O’Connor or  Hemmingway? Try to address this question of orientation/methodology in  your essay. 

*3)  Discuss whether your initial impressions of the reading in question  were complicated or changed by the critical article in question. Be  specific, and reference specific sections from both readings. This  section should be your next to-last paragraph. 

*4)  Consider where your reading and the critical article may fit in with  course goals and themes. For example, how might your assigned reading  and the article fit in with our readings in short fiction and  late-19th-century American literature? On the other hand, how might the  story and article venture off from course subject matter and readings in  American literature? This section should comprise your concluding  paragraph. 

Unite  these questions into a coherent, “flowing” essay with transitions,  topic sentences, textual evidence, a thesis, and other such devices of  expository writing. Use direct textual evidence, which is subsequently  paraphrased, in each body paragraph to substantiate your points.

The majority of your discussion should be based upon the critical article that you’ve found, not mere summary of the story. Feel free to use the first person in your essay.

 Length: 3-4 pages. Double-spaced. “Works  Cited” provided. Cite any and all sources that you use. Format: MLA  citation (both in-text and end-of-text citations).

  • Toggle DrawerContextWhy Intellectual Property Matters
    Intellectual property rights issues are a growing concern in the global marketplace. Differing cultural interpretations of the concept of intellectual property have caused conflict between organizations in different nations. There is an increase in international litigation concerning intellectual property rights infringement. Primarily, lawsuits are being brought by multinational corporations based in the United States and Western European nations against organizations in developing nations such as China, India, and Vietnam. Indeed, violations of intellectual property rights have become a critical and debilitating sticking point between Washington and Beijing. In the U.S., intellectual property rights protect the economic and intellectual investment that entrepreneurs make in a product or service, and without these protections the marketplace would grind to a halt.
    SHOW LESSThe copying of Microsoft software in China is the most egregious example of infringement upon intellectual property rights, but the problem goes far beyond that. From those who copy the latest hit CDs to manufacturers producing fake Louis Vuitton handbags, and even the nearly identical creation of automobiles copied from General Motors cars in China, one thing is certain: each example inextricably leads to an important conversation about what rights are important, how they should be protected in an international context, and what powers governments should have to enforce intellectual property rights.
    The focus of this assessment is necessarily upon the United States, where intellectual property is considered a cornerstone of the business environment. The federal government and state and federal courts have crafted a vast array of resources and protections for entrepreneurs regarding their ideas, products, and services. The proliferation of small businesses and the dominance of Silicon Valley in the high-tech field are all testament to the protections that have been afforded businesspeople who are seeking to create new ideas or to further innovative technologies. It is also important to consider the ramifications for businesses that seek to do business overseas, where intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as stringently enforced as they are in more developed nations.

  • Assessment InstructionsFor this assessment, you will first select an actual business-related U.S. legal case, pertaining to the topic of intellectual property, based on briefly conducting associated research. Based on that, you will then select an organization that you believe would be impacted by that legal case. Having completed both of these tasks, you should assume you’re a senior manager in the organization you selected, and that you were asked to perform an analysis of the legal case and to write an executive briefing for the executive team of that same organization. Your executive briefing should include a summary of the case, as well as an evaluation of how the case impacts the organization.
    The purpose of this format is two-fold:

    1. To give you the opportunity to research and investigate a real court decision.
    2. To challenge you to think about the business implications of the case, and specifically how the case will impact an actual organization.
    3. In your case law analysis you must be able to navigate the court’s decision, and summarize and evaluate it. You may choose any business-related court case, either state or federal, as the basis for your case law executive briefing, as long as the case is applicable to the assessment topic. You are expected to conduct your own independent research to locate and evaluate the applicability of cases. A few appropriate case law websites are recommended for you in the Resources, but you are not limited to using cases from these sites.
      For this assessment, use credible legal research databases and online resources, research federal and state court cases, and select any business-related case that has been decided by a state court, a federal court, or the United States Supreme Court. Then select an organization (potentially the organization for which you work) that you believe the selected case might impact. Write an executive briefing that addresses the following:
      Research federal and state court cases pertaining to the topic of intellectual property. Select one court case and write an analysis that addresses the following:
    4. Articulate the context and relevance of law in a business environment:
      • Identify the parties who are before the court.
      • Provide a brief background and context associated with the case. Summarize the facts in no more than 2–3 paragraphs.
      • Identify the specific disagreement between the parties.
      • Explain the ruling of the court and its business relevance in no more than 1–2 paragraphs. Was there a dissenting opinion? If so, explain why some of the judges or justices disagreed with the majority in the decision.
    5. Evaluate the business impact of the case:
      • Summarize your analysis of how the case will impact businesses in general, including both positive and negative impacts.
      • Indicate the organization you selected as potentially impacted by the case and why you selected that organization.
      • Explain how the case will impact the specific organization you selected, such that the executive team will understand the implications of the legal decision.
    6. Based on your executive audience, your executive briefing should be no more than two pages, and should be well organized and written in clear, succinct language. Follow APA rules for attributing sources that support your analysis and conclusions.
      Academic Integrity and APA Formatting
      As a reminder related to using APA rules to ensure academic honesty:
    7. When using a direct quote (using exact or nearly exact wording), you must enclose the quoted wording in quotation marks, immediately followed by an in-text citation. The source must then be listed in your references page.
    8. When paraphrasing (using your own words to describe a non-original idea), the paraphrased idea must be immediately followed by an in-text citation and the source must be listed in your references page.
