Sexual Behavior

By Academic Wizard Blog

This week, you should write a reflection responding to the topic: “Sexual Behavior.”

You should demonstrate what you have learned about gender inequality and sexual orientation from these chapters, discuss your response to the reading, and pose any questions or critiques.

You should draw from all the readings – including the chapters, the article, and the lecture – in your reflection this week.

Reflections should be 700 words, give or take, and key components of your reflections should:

Note essential concepts, theories, and overarching trends from the readings.

Organize your reflection around themes found within the readings and any additional resources.

Reflect on the material and what you learned.

What are your thoughts about the topic?

Sexual Behavior

Relate the material (using terms and concepts accurately) to your personal life or a real-life example. ,

Discuss any questions you might still have concerning the topic or provide a critique.,

Discuss anything you found confusing or that you do not understand.,

If you thought the readings did not address an essential aspect of the topic you can discuss that here too.,

Always provide support! You should cite from the reading(s) and any outside sources throughout your reflection.,

While opinions are welcome, as graduate students you should always be ready to show support beyond yourself for any statement you make.,

“Anyone can say anything, but can you support it?”

When reflecting and relating the material to your life or a real-life example, I will assess how accurately you use the terms – not your opinions. Opinions cannot be graded, but whether you provide support for your opinions and how accurately you use and apply the terms and concepts can.

Sexual Behavior

Reflections should not summarize the reading, and you do not need to address all the material/concepts in the chapter. The goal is for you to think critically about and apply the material (see the first bullet).

Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for this health care problem. Identify and list available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.

Preparation:

Scenario

Imagine that you are a staff nurse in a community care center. Your facility has always had a dedicated case management staff that coordinated the patient plan of care, but recently, there were budget cuts and the case management staff has been relocated to the inpatient setting. Care coordination is essential to the success of effectively managing patients in the community setting, so you have been asked by your nurse manager to take on the role of care coordination. You are a bit unsure of the process, but you know you will do a good job because, as a nurse, you are familiar with difficult tasks.

Talent and Value Proposition

By Academic Wizard Blog

Talent and Value Proposition

Imagine being an HR manager at KLC company who has been tasked with creating a Talent and Value Proposition that focuses on creativity, annual budget savings, and possible labor reduction. Leadership has recently learned about a variety of automated solutions to assist with faster production, including artificial intelligence. This solution could shrink the current internal workforce by at least 40 percent in the first six months, which would lead to the termination of more than 100 employees. Leadership also thinks that these changes can lead to becoming more competitive in the field and contribute to the overall growth of the organization. Lastly, leadership is interested in exploring a “gig economy” within the company to potentially save even more money by working with non-employees.

Using this scenario, decide if you are going to advise leadership to implement the new ideas that were shared or if you are going to make an active attempt to save the current employee pool and find alternative ways to save money overall.

Talent and Value Proposition

Create a PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of six slides to present your decision on automated solutions to leadership that includes the following.

Assess the pros and cons associated with artificial intelligence and why it should or should not be considered for use within the company.,
Assess alternative ways to save money within the company to avoid having to terminate more than 100 employees.,
Evaluate if implementing a gig economy would benefit the organization.,
Evaluate the potential drawbacks of utilizing a gig economy with non-employees in lieu of current employees.,
Justify why you believe implementing automation solutions within the company is a good or bad choice based on your findings.,
Use at least five quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not quality academic resources.
