How Venture Capital Works

Invention and innovation drive the U.S. economy. What’s more, they have a powerful grip on the nation’s collective imagination. The popular press is filled with against-all-odds success stories of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. In these sagas, the entrepreneur is the modern-day cowboy, roaming new industrial frontiers much the same way that earlier Americans explored the West. At his side stands the venture capitalist, a trail-wise sidekick ready to help the hero through all the tight spots—in exchange, of course, for a piece of the action.

As with most myths, there’s some truth to this story. Arthur Rock, Tommy Davis, Tom Perkins, Eugene Kleiner, and other early venture capitalists are legendary for the parts they played in creating the modern computer industry. Their investing knowledge and operating experience were as valuable as their capital. But as the venture capital business has evolved over the past 30 years, the image of a cowboy with his sidekick has become increasingly outdated. Today’s venture capitalists look more like bankers, and the entrepreneurs they fund look more like M.B.A.’s.

Identifying Research Methodologies Part 1 assignment

Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 1: Identifying Research Methodologies

Is there a difference between “common practice” and “best practice”?

When you first went to work for your current organization, experienced colleagues may have shared with you details about processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you perform your new role.

Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.

Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it a common practice or a best practice?

In this Assignment

You will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.

To Prepare:

Firstly, review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry. Keep in mind that the clinical issue you identify for your research will stay the same for the entire course.
Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest. You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment, select original research articles.
Then, review the results of your peer-reviewed research. Also, reflect on the process of using an unfiltered database to search for peer-reviewed research.
Lastly, reflect on the types of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Moral Philosophy

Moral philosophy is the branch of philosophy that contemplates what is right and wrong. It explores the nature of morality alos examines how people should live their lives in relation to others.

Moral philosophy has three branches.

One branch, meta-ethics, investigates big picture questions such as, “What is morality?” “What is justice?” “Is there truth?” and “How can I justify my beliefs as better than conflicting beliefs held by others?”

Another branch of moral philosophy is normative ethics. It answers the question of what we ought to do. Normative ethics focuses on providing a framework for deciding what is right and wrong. Three common frameworks are deontology, utilitarianism, and also  virtue ethics.

The last branch is applied ethics. It addresses specific, practical issues of moral importance such as war and capital punishment. Applied ethics also tackles specific moral challenges that people face daily, such as whether they should lie to help a friend or co-worker.

So, whether our moral focus is big picture questions, a practical framework, or applied to specific dilemmas, moral philosophy can provide the tools we need to examine and live an ethical life.

Epistemology

limits of human knowledge. The term is derived from the Greek epistēmē (“knowledge”) and logos (“reason”), and accordingly the field is sometimes referred to as the theory of knowledge. Epistemology has a long history within Western philosophy, beginning with the ancient Greeks and continuing to the present. Along with metaphysics, logic, and ethics, it is one of the four main branches of philosophy, and also nearly every great philosopher has contributed to it.

Review Malcom X movie directed by Spike Lee

This is a paper that is focusing on the student to Critically review the Malcom X movie directed by Spike Lee. The paper also provides additional information to use in the writing of the assignment paper. Below is the assessment description to follow:

Critically review the Malcom X movie directed by Spike Lee

Assignment – Using a minimum of five scholarly sources (other sources may also be included) critically review a theatrical film about an event or person in U.S. history.

The film to review is the Malcom X movie by Spike Lee.

Historical theatrical movies are often an innovative and entertaining way to pique large masses of people’s attention about historical events.  These films typically have larger budgets than documentaries and high-profile cast members. While these movies often call upon scholars for assistance in making the film authentic, they usually deviate from the historical narrative for theatrical reasons. Because of this divergence, individuals who view historical films uncritically risk becoming misinformed.

Questions
Firstly, what historical events are explored in the film?
Secondly, given what you have learned from your scholarly sources, how accurate do you feel the film was?
Thirdly, what changes, if any, would you make to the movie in efforts to produce a more historically accurate film?
What do you like and dislike about the movie?
Also, what messages was the filmmaker trying to convey through the historical subject of the film?

Page Layout Requirements –Reviews must:

Include page numbers and a cover page (cover page is not part of the total page requirement)

Use Chicago Style citation format

In grading these response papers, I will be looking for you to:

Clearly organize your thoughts

Display and understanding of the film’s plotline and major characters

Investigate the historical accuracy of the film

Provide an informed critique of the film’s historicity
