A lot of building a business is based on modeling what others have done successfully or avoiding their pitfalls. The discussion this week will follow that dynamic. Choosing any food service operation you have experienced, locate an example of their marketing, whether print, media [TV, film], or web-based, and provide a brief assessment of the individual marketing.

For the specific advertisement or marketing effort,¹identify and briefly rationalize what you identified as elements related to the four components (AIDA) of effective advertising:

A: Attention – get the attention of the targeted consumer
I: Interest – sustain the attention through compelling messaging
D: Desire – transform interest into a desire to purchase [obtain/possess]
A: Action – urge the targeted consumer to take action to fulfill their desire. This means taking action to buy from the company as soon as possible or when relevant.

With AIDA described², discuss how their advertising works or fails them and then determine and justify what you can learn from their marketing³. Describe how you can apply what you have learned to your own food service operation identified last week.

Discussion elements:

Identify and rationalize elements of AIDA represented in the selected advertisement.
Discuss the success and/or failures of the selected advertisement.
Describe how you can apply what you learned from analyzing the selected advertisement.
If possible, embed, provide a link, or attach the selected advertisement to your post.

Q13

Review and reflect on your e-portfolio. Why did you select the artifacts that you included in your portfolio? What additional items do you plan to add? What message does your e-portfolio convey to a anyone who is reviewing it?

Q14

I am sure you have often heard the expressions in people’s speech… “I identify with…” “My identity is…” It is how we feel we belong to a certain group or how our belief system is connected with members of a certain group. Our identity forms a bridge between ourselves and culture and communication.

It is important to understand how we form our personal identities. We need to understand who we are and where we come from. Without that personal depth and insight, we may have difficulty understanding where we belong. We have personal identities and social identities. There is our private side and social side. I am sure you have heard that people never really know who you are completely–that is because we have to constantly merge within groups on a daily basis. Perhaps people are more open in an office setting, but they go home and are very compartmentalized in their thinking. Stereotypes develop. We have stereotypes of ourselves and stereotypes given to us by others. But stereotypes seem to develop when communication is not clear.

We need to evaluate our cultural identity, our individual identity, our spiritual identity, and our familial identity. Those are important foundational aspects, and the rest of the identities we possess originate from them.

Please answer the following:

Evaluate or dissect your identities that are most prominent and dominant in your thinking.
Tell us how you got there.
Evaluate your American Individual Identity and what it means to you.
Do you find yourself comparing your own identity belief systems to that of your co-workers?
Do you talk about it?
How does it impact your relationship building with others?

Q15

examines and describes your own cultural heritage (African American)

Do you have traditions?,

Do you speak a different language or dialect at home?,

How do you feel now that you are away from home what has become most important to you?,

Q16

These three short readings deal with the concept of beauty bias based on stereotypes and discrimination. Please take a moment to read the brief articles. Do you agree with the articles? Please share your thoughts on each of the articles and the impact (or lack thereof) of beauty bias.

Article 1

Article 2

Article 3

Q17

Attorney representation is not typically required in ADR proceedings, but it is often recommended so that each party’s interests are adequately defended. Yet, some of the key advantages to ADR over traditional litigation are simplicity and efficiency. Do you think that attorney representation in ADR helps or hurts? Why or why not?
One of the challenges discussed in this week’s lesson is that of emotion, pride, and ego impeding the ADR process. These factors are obviously present whether disputants are pursuing ADR or traditional litigation. Do you think they are more or less problematic in ADR?, Do you think they are harder or easier to overcome in ADR?, Explain your answers.

Q18

what are some of the problems children face when they grow up in poverty? (For example, the impact of poverty on the health, nutrition, and safety of children.) What are the long term effects of poverty and what outcomes might a child face without effective intervention?

Discuss at least 2 ways a child’s development is impacted when they grow up in a violent home.,

Asceticism may be defined as depriving the body as a sacrifice for the sake of the mind or the spirit. In other words, it could mean abstaining from food (fasting), water, sleep, or even sex and other indulgences in order to find peace or show dedication to your faith. We find examples of asceticism across religions around the world, from fasting to prayer to sacrifice. For your essay this week, read the introductory article on asceticism and the articles on religion to find examples of asceticism (depriving oneself) in at least two regions of the ancient world—one Eastern, one Western—in order to compare their roles in the development of historical civilizations. Consider these two questions: What practical non-religious purpose do these behaviors serve in their historical communities?, Do you see distinct changes around the world or are they essentially the same practice wherever they are found?, You may conduct some additional research to find unique examples to add to your paper.

Your paper must be submitted as a two- to three-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least three sources cited in Chicago/Turabian format.

Central to EBP Models

By Academic Wizard Blog

While many different models for evidence-based practice (EBP) exist, a core methodology is shared within each. Central to EBP models is the review of scholarly sources to appraise the quality of evidence available regarding an identified practice issue or intervention. To guide the process, the development of a PICOT statement is often the first step.

A PICOT statement includes a brief description of the problem and population impacted, intervention, comparison, outcome, and anticipated timeframe to better understand the issue. This step provides clarity and direction as the critique of evidence from scholarly literature is initiated. The PICOT statement will be used in future assignments in this course.

about 15 minutes and notices some swelling in her knees at the end of the day. The patient has
difficulty climbing stairs and feels her range of motion is becoming limited. She has a history of
obesity (BMI 32) and has worked as a retail cashier for over 30 years, which involves prolonged
standing. Physical examination reveals crepitus (a grating sensation) upon knee movement, mild
