Pluralism assignment

Help me study for my Management class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

The required studies in The Ethics of Teaching (Strike & Soltis, 2009/2015) introduce and integrate postmodernism and pluralism into the theories of ethical thought. Write a post discussing the challenges and contributions of postmodernism and pluralism to these ethical theories. (The content in this post should be considered as a partial draft of your final paper.)
  • The distinction between tolerating and affirming the truth of a viewpoint;
  • The inability of relativism truly to criticize a dominating perspective;
  • The place of fallibilism as a middle ground to certainty and skepticism.
  • Explain the difference between a melting pot and pluralism.
  • Explain how coming to recognize the differences in cultural values helps educators better appraise varying ethical standards.

Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.

Peer Responses (Due Tuesday)

Read your classmates’ responses. Reflect and substantively comment on two or more of their posts. Support your statements with evidence from the required studies, other research, and experiences. You are required to respond to comments or questions about your posts.

You have been appointed the CIO of the organization you selected in Module 1. Your job is to analyze the “as is” state of the organization’s information system and recommend changes wherever you see fit. Analyses and recommended changes will be done based on concepts learned throughout the course. You have already submitted two milestones in previous modules:

  • Milestone 2: Business Model, SCM, and CRM (Module 4)
    • Organization’s business model (market share, customer base, revenue, competitors)
    • SCM
    • CRM

In this module you will complete Milestone 3 and compile all milestones into your final Portfolio Project.

Milestone 3: eCommerce, Database Systems, Security Policies, Customer Privacy Protection, Business Continuity Planning, and Recommendations

To complete your Portfolio Project, analyze the organization you selected based on the following areas and provide detailed recommendations.

  1. eCommerce presence

    2. Are they utilizing mCommerce? If yes, explain. If not, explain why they would benefit from it.
  2. Database systems utilized
  3. Security policies
  4. Customer privacy protection

    1. Briefly describe how continuity planning has prepared the business to deal with the following threats: internal threats, theft, unintentional or intentional data corruption, staff-related issues (strikes, illnesses, weather related, etc.), natural disasters, infrastructure failures, terrorist attacks. (Consider the four planning steps recommended by the Department of Homeland Security when analyzing the business continuity planning for the organization.)
    2. Identify gaps that require further attention by the organization.
  6. Recommendations
    1. System development method: What system development method would you recommend and why?
    2. Off-the-shelf vs. custom software: Describe what would be the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing off-the-shelf software versus building customized software, considering your organization’s needs, and recommend the one you think would be more feasible.
    3. New technology: Recommend at least one new technology the organization is not using that you think might benefit them. Describe how that technology works. If that new technology was to replace an existing technology or system, what cutover approach would you recommend and why?

Compile Milestone 1, Milestone 2, and your work for Milestone 3 into your final Portfolio Project – be sure to integrate instructor feedback from Milestone 2 into your final submission. Your final Portfolio Project must be 13-15 pages in length (double-spaced, not including cover and reference pages) and written according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA (Links to an external site.). Include headings for each of the major components required in this milestone and integrate support for this section of your paper from three to four additional scholarly sources (minimum of six) – the “Best Bet Databases for Information System Management” (Links to an external site.) resource from the CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.

Medical Terminology

I’m working on a Medicine question and need guidance to help me study.

Your first patient this week has a problem of the genitourinary tract that has plagued him since birth. He has had many hospitalizations due to this problem and suffers repeatedly with difficulties of the genitourinary tract. Describe the problem using terms built from the genitourinary medical word elements in your text. Mention 3 tests or procedures that would help you understand or treat your patient.

The second patient for you this week is a woman with a problem involving the reproductive area. Describe the problem she has with words built from some of the reproductive medical word elements in your text. You need to include at least 3 tests or procedures needed to address her issue as well.

You have two very ill patients this week, and each of them presents a very complicated case. First, you have a patient with an ongoing problem that has resisted diagnosis. He was enroute to an evaluation with a neurologist, but on the way to the hospital suddenly fell into a coma (a state of involuntary unconsciousness due to illness or injury) and had to be brought in to your medical facility by ambulance.

You will use at least 10 medical terms to describe this patient, and to refer to the original underlying problem the patient had in the first place. Use the nervous system medical word elements chart and the medical, surgical, and diagnostic terms chart on from your textbook to get you started on the medical terms you will need. You can include specific drugs used in neurological disease as you list at least 3 tests and procedures used.

Your second patient this week is also quite ill and is presenting a number of problems. This patient is diabetic, and also has another Endocrine System disorder (of your choice). Consult the endocrine medical word elements chart as you develop medical terms—include at least 10 that would be appropriate in this case. You should consult medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures in your textbook as you select at least 3 tests and procedures for this patient. .

Paper on production

Need help with my Management question – I’m studying for my class.

The Capsim simulation is designed to offer you a strategic perspective on the interaction between decisions and operational results. When making Capsim decisions, your team must be alert to the potential challenges associated with production capacity. Many businesses fail to recognize the organizational constraints that may limit growth and create a business risk.

Review the Capsim Mini-Case Study entitled “Production.” (Note: Always click the Capsim button in Schoology to access Capsim). To access Capsim case studies, click “eText and Cases” from the left navigation menu, as shown below:

CAPSIM Core Participant Dashboard - eText and Cases

Consider the following questions to ensure you have the necessary production capacity to meet your Capsim team goals:

  • How can you optimize the limited resources your company has available in order to meet demand?
  • Should you hire more employees?
  • Should you utilize forced overtime?
  • Is there increased investment in automation?
  • Should you bring in additional production equipment?
  • What is your strategy to ensure adequate capacity, and what are the possible financial consequences for the company?

Address each of these considerations in your paper.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

Finding and Retaining Talent

I’m trying to learn for my Management class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Please review the Discussion Board Participation grading rubric. This is important information that will ensure that you earn maximum points. Your professionally written APA compliant postings, using appropriate sources should provide substantive depth that advances the Discussion. Please edit your posts for grammatical errors before you post. Be sure to review the requirements for each week’s Discussion topic(s). Remember that a post to the instructor is not considered a post to peers, so please be sure that you respond to at least 2 peers for full credit.

Finding and Retaining Talent

In Quarter 2 of the simulation, one of your goals is to seek employee insights to improve firm performance. In Quarter 3 of the simulation you will be looking at the results of the first Employee Survey. As you grow your company in the marketplace simulation, you will be devoting time, energy and resources to recruiting and retaining top talent.

For this Discussion, think about the recruitment and retention strategy that you will need to develop for your simulation company. You are faced with some daunting challenges as a leader in a growing international organization, which may include but not be limited to;

  • Leading multiple generations in the workplace with differing wants and needs,
  • Growing global organization with cultures that have differing expectations, and
  • Budgetary constraints that you need to be aware of when looking to recruit and retain

Main response

  • What are the challenges leaders will face in finding and retaining great employees? Are there differences culturally, generationally or demographically? Include research from at least 3 academically credible sources.
    • Reality Check – Does the research reflect you as an employee? Conduct research on what an employer needs to do from a retention perspective to keep you as an employee.
    • Which of the generation categories, as listed in Pita’s article from this week’s reading and any other sources you uncover in your research are you most closely aligned with?
    • What were the results of the values exercise you completed for the Unit 1 discussion question?
    • Based on the answers to the 2 questions above, what are the essential elements you would require from an employer to retain you? Why?
  • How diverse is your workplace? Think about each employee completing an exercise like this and the impact it has on retention? How does this self-analysis give you an insight into the difficulties you identified in your research?

Response to Peers

  • Ask your peers what insights they have gained from the self-analysis.
  • Talk with your peers about your self-analysis which may have had similar elements in construction but different results, why are they different?

Using your readings, the information from prior courses including, GB520: Strategic Human Resources Management, any other Human Resource courses you may have taken, and personal experience will be helpful to you in this Discussion response.

discussion about Black Panther and wonder woman

I need support with this Film question so I can learn better.

QUESTION: How might you draw some connections between main themes in the Wonder Woman film and that of Black Panther—good examples might include (but are not limited to): consider the ideas of Wonder Woman not revealing her “secret,” and the question posed by the child in the opening storytelling scene in Black Panther: “do we still hide?” More specifically, you might consider the scene in the Sambisa Forest, when Nakia says to the civilians she rescues, “you will speak nothing of this day.” Another good possibility would be to discuss the revered women warriors and leaders in Black Panther, including discussion of specific scenes.

500-600 words

These responses are your own interpretations and should be in your own voice—and only use sources already provided in the course. Responses do not necessarily need to “answer” every part of the selected prompt; rather, use the prompt to generate your response and take a direction for discussion. Posts must be thoughtful, organized, and critically pointed toward the prompt, offering a reading of a specific detail, scene, or idea in the film/question—that is, go beyond basic summary or overview: the scope should reflect the kinds of ideas you might use in a supporting paragraph in a longer essay.
