All children should be vaccinated unless they have a medical reason not to

All children should be vaccinated unless they have a medical reason not to.
Write an argument paper making a value claim.
A value claim argues whether something is moral or immoral, fair or unfair, just or unjust, humane or inhumane, etc.
THIS CLAIM WILL BE ABOUT VACCINATIONS. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRE D AND THERE SHOULD ONLY BE MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS, NOT PERSONAL ONES.

For example, “Killing animals for sport is morally wrong” is a value claim. If that’s your topic, construct emotional appeals to persuade your reader to agree with you. The easiest way to support your main points in a value claim is to use stories. Stories “connect” to your reader on an emotional level.
For this essay, think about your personal values, where those values came from, and why your audience will share these values. Then, apply those values to a question that affects everyone. You are not recommending a course of action (that’s a policy claim); you are arguing that something is right or wrong.

Remember, some values are simply expressions of taste. For example, suppose you prefer chocolate over vanilla. You cannot successfully argue that chocolate is better (though many people have tried)!

Introduction

In the first paragraph, clearly state your claim. After the claim—which is your thesis—include a roadmap (or blueprint) of the main points to follow.

Body
Beginning in paragraph two, fully develop your supports. Each support must be in a separate paragraph or set of paragraphs. Do not put two points in the same paragraph!

Begin each paragraph with a transition word (first, second, next, etc.) in the topic sentence.

Order your supports by importance (that is, the most important or persuasive support comes first).

Make sure that you include a refutation of opposing arguments. This refutation should come after you have supported your claim.

Conclusion
Finally, summarize both your claim and your supports in your final paragraph.

In-Text Citations and Works Cited Section
You MUST include properly formatted in-text citations and a Works Cited section at the end of your essay. If you are not sure how to follow the MLA style, please review both the text and the lectures for example.

The historical complexity for the removal of Cheokee

/in /by

This is a paper that focuses on the historical complexity for the removal of Cheokee. The paper also focuses on analyzing two oust from two different posts.

The historical complexity for the removal of Cheokee

Discussion: Historical Complexity
Consider the following statement: “In preparing for the Cherokee removal, state and federal officials were motivated solely by desire to seize the natives’ land.” In your post, consider the following:
·         Does this statement present the full picture? Revise this statement to present a more complex explanation of the motivations that drove state and federal officials (and the white citizens of Georgia) during the years immediately preceding the Cherokee removal. Explain the choices you made in your revision.

·         Next, consider how you can take a similar approach to your own topic (Equal Rights Amendment in the United States) in order to more fully understand the historical complexity. What other viewpoints would you want to further explore in order to more fully understand your topic?
In response to your peers, share any preconceived notions you may have about their topic. (Not about the Native American removal). Lastly, consider how further exploration of the viewpoints around their topic would potentially change the lens through which they currently view the event.

“In preparing for the Cherokee removal, state and federal officials were motivate solely by desire to seize the natives’ land.”
Reflect the full picture as to why the government wanted to relocate the Cherokee.  Yes there was dispute over the land. The land was great for producing cotton, but I also think another reason governing officials wanted to relocated the Cherokee tribe was for political control and power. Looking at this through a political lens the governing official wanted to ensure political control and power. Especially since the Cherokee pushed back with politically lobbying.

My topic is the Woman’s Suffrage Movement. Another approach I could take to further understand this topic is researching the opposing views. I was to find out that there was a large group of women who opposing the movement. They felt it did not benefit woman to be “entirely equal,” I think it would be beneficial to research this side of the movement. Also, how that impacted the delaying of the nineteenth amendment.

This is a paper that focuses on the Goyeo Tech start-up company corporate plan analysis. The paper also provides a brief description of a case scenario.

Goyeo Tech start-up company corporate plan analysis

This case study is an imagined company and does not exist in real life. Please do not spend time ‘Googling’ the company as you will not find anything. We do not need lots of information about the company, we are intereste in your understanding of the theory.

Goyeo Tech is a start-up company based in London. They have developed wearable technology aimed at students. The technology automatically reminds them of class times and assignment deadlines. In the class it takes real time notes and sends a small electric shock to the wearer when they are not focusing on what they should be.
Goyeo was develop by two friends who met whilst at Coventry University London. Currently the product is produced in Arianna’s garage, as they are selling more of the product, they are beginning to see some production issues.

Luna thinks it is a good idea to start outsourcing the production of the product. She thinks this will give them access to new markets. Arianna is passionate about environmental protection and global poverty reduction. Additionally, she thinks outsourcing will contribute to green-house emissions through transport pollution and keep people in poverty.
Also, you are a trade consultant working in London, you have been given Goyeo as one of your projects and have been asked to create a ‘corporate plan’ for the company. The corporate plan has three objectives: outsourcing, exporting and logistics. It is then together by the overall vision and mission statements. Using insights from the module so far you need to write a 2500 word corporate plan using the structure attachment below.

Lastly, ensure that you include all the references that you are going to use in the assignment.

Module 2 Assignment: Case Study Analysis An understanding of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and also treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that these two systems work so closely together.

A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can have a role in the performance of the other. Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and also their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact. Photo Credit: yodiyim – stock.adobe.com An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.

For APRNs this understanding can also help educate patients and also guide them through their treatment plans. In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You will also identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

This is an assignment that focuses on what health provisions can Urgent Care Hospital provide. The paper also determines the expenditure for the department.

What health provisions can Urgent Care Hospital provide

Urgent Care Hospital has recently received several large grants to modernize and upgrade the care they provide to the community. The hospital has determined to spend some of the money to upgrade the radiology department and has hired you to manage a project to install a new CAT scanner (computerized axial tomography scanner) to provide better care to critical patients.

The new CAT scanner will require a major renovation of the radiology department, which is estimated to take eight weeks. Although the head of the department is eager to have the new machinery, she is not happy about the disruption the construction will cause. The construction renovation cannot begin until after the installation is complete. The four operators who will use the new equipment also need two weeks of training.

The estimated costs are as follows:
Purchase: $1,000,000
Installation: $45,000
Operator training: $16,000
Renovation: $96,000
Since the hospital expects to generate income of $50,000 a month on the new scanner, its managers are anxious to begin using it as soon as possible with the least possible disruption to hospital functions. The head of the radiology department has come to you asking you to reduce the total project time as much as possible. She feels that thirteen weeks is too long of a disruption.

What health provisions can Urgent Care Hospital provide

To accommodate the request, you now need to complete the following tasks:
a.       Firstly, determine what can be done to ‘‘crash the schedule.’’
b.      Secondly, prepare a network diagram and assign calendar dates to each activity.
c.       Thirdly, determine what resources are needed for each activity.
d.     Fourthly, prepare a cash flow report showing the projected expenditures for each week of the project.
