Audience Segmentation

Length: The basic minimum length of your final draft (not including your name/section/assignment/date, bibliography and endnotes) is 1000 words. There is no maximum wordcount. I’ve found that the best papers are as long as they need to be to say what they have to say about a focused thesis statement or research question. Basic instructions Write an original research paper that utilizes the English composition techniques we have practiced this semester. Choose your own topic. It should have an orientation that could be considered, at the most general level, “Humanities” or “Sciences.” Use MLA style for Humanities, APA for Sciences. Thesis statements and research questions

Your paper should address a thesis statement or research question focused on an original idea that has been discussed by professional academics in scholarly (peer reviewed) publications, rather than something that is simply definitional or informative; as an academic paper, therefore, it is not expected to have an obvious “practical application” to a general audience in “the real world.” Also, your research paper is not simply a written version of a speech to persuade or a speech to inform an audience of your college peers. If you liked Plank-Blasko’s Tetris article or Due et al.’s ASD article, you may derive a thesis statement or research question from either of those articles and use it as the basis of your research paper. Sources Your final draft should be based primarily on at least three scholarly (peer reviewed) journal articles published within the last ten years, each of which is at least six pages long.

All three of these sources should be available in PDF full- text format in the Academic Search Complete database, and at least two of the three sources must not also be available for free on the Internet. In addition to the scholarly sources, you are free to use up to three other sources, such as books, magazines, videos (TED Talks, etc.), and websites, provided that these sources originated with a credible authority and have a unique relevance to the focus of your paper. Additional instructions:

• Your final draft should contain between 10% and 15% direct quotation from your sources, using either APA- or MLA-style in-text citations; the rest of your paper should be written entirely in your own words, using summary and paraphrase to support your ideas. Quote single words and phrases, not longer than ten (10) words in a row. Use a variety of quotation styles.

• Your final draft should contain at least two explanatory “endnotes” that provide additional ideas not central to your paper’s main discussion. One note must be at least 10 words long, and the other(s) must be at least 25 words long.

• Depending on your thesis statement or research question, you may include the article you used for assignment #3a as one of your three required scholarly (peer reviewed) journal articles, provided that it meets the criteria explained above, under “Sources.”

• Your final draft should contain a References or Works Cited section, prepared according to the APA or MLA style using the forms provided by the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL). Do not rely on EasyBib to do this for you. If you use Academic Search Complete’s citation link, it is your responsibility to proofread it for accuracy and to make any necessary adjustments (e.g., upper- and lower-case letters, italics, author’s names, etc.).

Professionalism and social media

Professionalism and Social Media Social media plays a significant role in the lives of nurses in both their professional and personal lives. Additionally, social media is now considered a mainstream part of the process for recruiting and hiring candidates. Inappropriate or unethical conduct on social media can create legal problems for nurses as well as the field of nursing. Login to all social media sites in which you engage. Review your profile, pictures and posts. Based on the professional standards of nursing, identify items that would be considered unprofessional and potentially detrimental to your career and that negatively impact the reputation of the nursing field. In 500-750 words, summarize the findings of your review. Include the following: 1. Describe the posts or conversations in which you have engaged that might be considered inappropriate based on the professional standards of nursing. 2. Discuss why nurses have a responsibility to uphold a standard of conduct consistent with the standards governing the profession of nursing at work and in their personal lives. Include discussion of how personal conduct can violate HIPAA or be considered unethical or unprofessional. Provide an example of each to support your answer. 3. Based on the analysis of your social media, discuss what areas of your social media activity reflect Christian values as they relate to respecting human value and dignity for all individuals. Describe areas of your social media activity that could be improved. 4. Write a one-page double spaced introductory cover letter in which you explain your professional objectives, professional interests, and strengths as an applicant. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance PLEASE MAKE THE COVER LETTER IN A SEPARATE PAGE.

Contract Principles Contract Law

Read the Final Project Assignment. Review the main contract principles from each chapter in the book A Short and Happy Guide. Apply and include the contract principles to answer each of the questions. Question No. 1 – A Bride for Jacob Read the Background Reading below and answer the following questions: 1. Has a Deal Been Made? You should answer this question and include if there was mutual assent, offer and acceptance and any other relevant materials from Chapter 1. 2. Is the Deal Enforceable? Your answer should include whether or not the agreement between Jacob and Laban is supported by consideration? (See Ch. 2) 3. Does the Statute of Frauds apply as a Defense to Enforcement of the Deal? (See Ch. 3) 4. Are any third parties affected by the contract? (See Ch. 7) In answering the questions, does Jacob’s knowledge of the customs of the time affect your answers, if at all? Question No. 2 – Parol Evidence and Excuse The Smiths wished to sell their farm. Across the road from the farm, the Smiths had an icehouse. Mr. Jones was interested in purchasing the farm, but found the icehouse objectionable. The Smiths orally promised, in consideration of Jones agreeing to the purchase of their farm, to remove the icehouse. Relying upon this promise, Jones executed a written contract to buy the farm for $128,000. The contract for the purchase and sale of the farm appeared fully complete on its face, addressing any and all terms typically included in a contract for the purchase and sale of a farm. However, the contract was silent on the removal of the icehouse. The sale was completed, and Jones took possession of the property. The Smiths never removed the icehouse even though Jones made several attempts to get the Smiths to remove it. 1. Can Jones offer proof that the promise to remove the icehouse was made in furtherance of the agreement to purchase the farm? (Hint: See Chapter 4 What are the Terms of the Deal?) 2. Will the Court order “specific performance” as a remedy and order the Smiths to remove the icehouse? What if Jones pays to have the icehouse removed, can he recover his costs from the Smiths? (See Chapter 6) 3. Assume JUST FOR THIS QUESTION, that Jones and the Smiths entered into a separate contract for removal of the icehouse and they agreed to: 1) split the cost of removal 50/50; 2) that the Smiths would use their contractor to start removal the day after escrow closes; and 3) Mr. Jones would make the first 50% payment directly to the contractor with the Smiths paying the remaining 50% balance. Mr. Jones closed escrow and it is now week four and the contractor has not shown up despite Mr. Jones repeated efforts to contact the Smiths. What steps can he legally take? (See Chapter 5) Please include the definitions of the relevant contract terms in your papers and write complete and thorough answers. Background Reading (Genesis 29:15-30): Jacob Agrees to Work in Order to Marry Rachel 29:15 Later, Laban asked Jacob, “Should you serve me for free, just because you’re my nephew? Let’s talk about what your wages should be.” 16 Now Laban happened to have two daughters. The older one was named Leah and the younger was named Rachel. 17 Leah looked rather plain, but Rachel was lovely in form and appearance. 18 Jacob loved Rachel, so he made this offer to Laban: “I’ll serve you for seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.” 19 “It’s better that I give her to you than to another man,” Laban replied, “so stay with me.” 20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel, but it seemed like only a few days because of his love for her. 21 Eventually, Jacob told Laban, “Bring me my wife, now that my time of service has been completed, so I can go be with her.” 22 So Laban gathered all the men who lived in that place and held a wedding festival. Laban Deceives Jacob 23 That night Laban took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob. He had marital relations with her. 24 Laban also gave his servant woman Zilpah to Leah to be her maidservant. 25 The next morning, Jacob realized that it was Leah! “What have you done to me?” he demanded of Laban. “Didn’t I serve you for seven years in order to marry Rachel? Why did you deceive me?” 26 But Laban responded, “It’s not the practice of our place to give the younger one in marriage before the firstborn. 27 Fulfill the week for this daughter, then we’ll give you the other one in exchange for serving me another seven years.” 28 So Jacob completed another seven years’ work, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. 29 Laban also gave his woman servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her maidservant. 30 Jacob also married Rachel, since he loved her. He served Laban another full seven years’ work for Rachel.

Gender norms in sport management

Your essay should contain an introduction, main body and conclusion. Guidance on writing essays can be found here. There is no one correct answer to the question, but it does invite a reasoned answer and discussion, supported by research and other forms of evidence  (e.g. media stories, relevant data). You should refer to the module framework for further advice on investigating a contemporary issue such as gender in sport. Gender discrimination is discussed in Unit 8 of Study Topic 2; however, your answer to the question should draw upon the content of all four units of Study Topic 2 (Units 8-11). You may chose to focus your discussion on athletes or those who work in sport. You may like to reflect on both high profile and mainstream examples that you have seen in the media that illustrate the issue, such as: a.

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) awards take place each year in December. Several awards are presented at the ceremony, but the main award is for sports personality of the year. b.Media coverage of high profile sporting events such as the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, and World Athletics Championships. c.General media coverage and representation of men’s and women’s sport. There are a range of ways to successfully answer the question, but as a guide, a good answer will be expected to: Consider what gender discrimination is and critically discuss it using supporting evidence (Unit 8). Consider the impact of the broader media on sports coverage and representation (Unit 9). Consider whether there are media examples that challenge stereotypical gender norms in sport (Unit 10). Consider whether any gender-related power imbalances (e.g. pay, coaching positions) are reflected in the media’s coverage and representation of women in sport, sports coverage and reporting (Unit 11). Answer the question, i.e. critically discuss the view that gender discrimination exists in sport. Use a range of supporting references.
