IM INCLUDING THE POST OF MY PEERS FOR THE RESPONSES. THE RESPONSES DOESN’T HAVE TO BE FOR TODAY

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Description

Jay and Sue Kim, ages 29 and 26 years and married for 2 years, immigrated from South Korea and settled in Los Angeles. They have lived in a small one-bedroom apartment since their arrival. Both graduated from the same Korean university with baccalaureate degrees in English literature. They have one child, Joseph, age 1 year. When they arrived in the United States, Jay was unable to find a job because of his poor proficiency in English, despite his major in English literature. He eventually obtained a job with a moving company through a church friend. Sue is not working because of their son. Although the Kim’s did not attend a church before immigration, they are now regularly attending a Korean Protestant church in their neighborhood.

Sue is pregnant again, determined by a home pregnancy kit, with their second child and concerned about the medical costs. They did not use any contraceptives because she was breastfeeding. Because of financial limitations, Sue did not initially have prenatal care with her first pregnancy. However, she did keep up with the Korean traditional prenatal practice, tae-kyo. Eventually, she received help from her church and delivered a healthy son. She is not sure whether she can get financial help from her church again but is confident that her second child will be healthy if she follows the Korean traditional prenatal practices.

Jay is concerned about job security because he recently heard from colleagues that the moving company might soon go bankrupt. Although Jay has not been satisfied with his current job (he thinks that he is overqualified), this news is still a cause for concern. Moreover, Sue’s recent pregnancy has made Jay more stressed, and he has started drinking alcohol. Joseph cannot stand up by himself and still wants to be breastfed. Although Sue has tried to give foods such as oranges, apples, steamed rice, and milk (because she is now pregnant), Joseph refuses to eat them and cries for breastfeeding. Joseph’s weight is low-normal for same-age babies.

  1. Describe the Korean cultural practice tae-kyo. Is this practice congruent with allopathic recommendations for prenatal care?
  2. How do food choices among Koreans differ with pregnancy and postpartum?
  3. Describe cultural attitudes toward drinking among Koreans.
  4. Identify two or three culturally congruent strategies a healthcare provider might use to address Jay’s drinking.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

No society can work efficiently in the absence of effective leadership.  The movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows displays a lot of leadership traits applicable in individual lives.

One of the leadership traits displayed in the scenes of the movie is that it is through experience and consistent learning that individuals in society develop healthy leadership styles and become great leaders. Good leaders think outside the box and come up with solutions to different problems in society.  Thinking outside the box involves borrowing ideas from other knowledgeable individuals and choosing those ideas that best suits the situation at hand (Colton, 2010). Another leadership trait learned from the scenes of the movie is that no leader can lead all alone. Individuals are talented in different fields, and their knowledge is needed for a leader to succeed in achieving the set objectives. For instance, Harry Potter needed the help of both Hogwarts and Hermione to search for Horcruxes.

The main characters in the movie also portray significant leadership traits. For instance, Ron Wesley represents his bravery when he decides to accompany Harry Potter in his mission to search for Horcruxes. Besides, he also portrays loyalty to Harry by abandoning Hogwarts and joining him. Hermione Granger displays smartness through coming up with meticulous plans that save the friends in different situations (Colton, 2010). It is, therefore, crucial for a leader to be smart to come up with measures that can protect other people in stressful situations. Besides, Albus Dumbledore lays bright plans for Harry Potter, which makes it possible for him to succeed in his mission.

Harry Potter, one of the protagonists in the movie, displays courage and determination, which plays a significant role in helping him achieve his mission. For instance, Potter decides not to go back to schools and focuses on pursuing and destroying Horcruxes. Leaders should, therefore, be courageous and determined and make critical decisions for the greater good of the people. Faithfulness is also displayed in the movie (Underhill, 2018).  Harry is faithful to his mission and allows nobody to interfere with his mission. Leaders should, therefore, be committed to serving those under them.

Some essential traits in leadership and communication can also be obtained from the movie. The movie teaches individuals the importance of talking about the truth in every situation. Leaders should always tell the truth, which can help people realize the problems in society and come up with possible solutions. Another important lesson learned from the movie is that people, and especially leaders, should always confront a crisis. When faced with difficult situations, individuals should face challenges but not give up (Underhill, 2018). Confronting challenges can make people develop a thick skin and hence tackle current and future problems. The skill of planning is also emphasized in the movie. To emerge victoriously, people should plan.

The in-group in the movie is a group of young people who have mobilized themselves to fight injustice in the society. Harry Potter and his friends are determined to fight Horcruxes, which are objects of dark magic representing evil and death in the community (Colton, 2010). The Horcruxes represent the out-groups in the film.

I think the protagonist in the movie displays the importance of courage in leadership. As a leader, an individual should be ready to face all the difficulties without fear of intimidation. For instance, Harry Potter was courageous enough to face Horcruxes.

In conclusion, a myriad of leadership traits can be obtained from the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. For instance, leaders should be faithful, courageous, and willing to face situations whenever they arise.

Option B:

Chris can often be found around the house laughing loudly at inappropriate jokes he is telling. When he is not laughing, he is singing or whistling and making non-stop noise, as he feels like he has boundless energy. When his daughter gets home, he calls her names and accuses her of plotting to harm him. The next day, Chris calls the police to report that his daughter is a spy sent from another planet to obtain military intelligence that will be used to take over the United States government.

Music Evolution

/0 Comments/in /by

 Music Evolution

The fact that the music industry has come from far must be greatly appreciated. Thomas Edison invented the phonograph an astounding machine that could record music and play it back. This great invention made it possible for quality music to be listened to in any home. The vinyl long play replaced the phonograph developed by the Columbia Records. Long playing record coming to existence was a huge step for music sound recording and for the listeners as it allowed multiple songs on one record. Previously one could only get a short piece of the music onto one side of a record but since its development one could get a whole classical piece on one side of a record.

Tapes revolutionized the music industry in the 1950s. Ability of the tape to be edited and played backwards took music to the next level. It could be used in passage cars to play cool and soothing music making journeys and road trips pretty cool. In 1979, the Sony Walkman became an absolute staple for portable music players (Gay, Hall, Janes, Mackey, & Negus, 1997). It was also an inspiration to record labels to record their music, listeners were able to take their music with them whenever and wherever at the same time giving artists the ability to offer a whole artistic package apart from the songs.

In 1982, CDs came to be and by 1988 CD sales eclipsed leading to high sales of music. In 1999 software like napster paved the way for music piracy. Sale of CDs went down considerably as people turned on to the internet to listen to music. This triggered the closure of some of the sites due to legal battles but this did not stop sharing of music through the internet as people continued streaming live. Subscription models were introduced in an attempt to solve piracy with limited music libraries which did not work leading to the introduction of licensing a vast library of music.  Instead of buying and owning songs and libraries a monthly fee would be paid for accessing all the music in the world.

Growing up in the village as a lover of music was not easy but listening to soothing music in tapes always restored some peace of mind. The ability of the tape to be reconnected, cut and played backwards made it fun as one would listen to his favorite song again and gain. Their affordability was an added advantage not forgetting their availability bearing in mind most of the people in the village owned them thus one could opt to borrow from a friend instead of buying.

In conclusion, love of music is beyond any explanation which enticed me into watching this video to know how far the music industry has come and appreciate those who were involved.

Breach of Contract

/0 Comments/in /by

Breach of Contract

Contract breaching takes place when one individual fails to honour a promise in accordance to the necessities of the contract. It also encompasses interfering with the ability of another party to fulfil its duties. Breach of the contract is punishable by law and the individual who breached the agreement is expected to pay back the other party.

Simard is responsible for consequential damages and is therefore liable for the differences amid his proposal and the second buyer’s proposal.  In this case, Simard should definitely not be held responsible for the protection of the second purchaser whose bid did not also go through. Therefore, the damage that Simard should pay should sum up to 192$ minus 163$=29$ (Columbia Law School 5).

Simard is not responsible for the subsequent resale of the possession. This is because, according to the law, the second resale should be conducted at the expense of the defaulting purchaser. Simard would be held liable for consequential damages of the second resale if the law stipulated that every time an additional resale takes place, previous defaulting buyers become accountable for that resale (Tirkey 45). Moreover, the resale is a preference that was selected by the salesperson with the endorsement of the law court to outline and limit significant indemnities. The defaulting purchaser is not liable for losses as a result of conduct by other individuals beyond the powers of the purchasers to control.

In conclusion, an acquitted individual to a ruined agreement should be bestowed indemnities that could rationally be deliberated as either arising certainly or reasonably supposed to have been in the contemplation of both individuals at the time they agreed.

Vision hearing loss

Question description

Vision hearing loss assignment: Consider both vision and hearing, and consider how you would feel if one or both were lost. In this scenario, there is also an elderly person who is not in control of their own life in many ways. They are frequently moved against their will into facilities such as nursing homes, and they are befuddled by their new surroundings. Consider adding this to the isolation they feel as a result of losing one or more of their senses.

Instructions for Vision hearing loss assignment:

  1. What response might you expect from them, either in the area of behavior or psychology?
  2. Summarize the above in a few sentences of a situation you have experienced with an elderly patient, or, just talk about how you believe these people cope with their losses.
  3. Is this what you found with the elderly you have known during work or in your family?

The Vision hearing loss assignment should be in APA.

The Burden of Vision Loss and Risk Factors

Age, gender, poverty, and a lack of access to health care are all risk factors for vision loss. The overall prevalence of vision loss, which primarily affects people over the age of 40, varies with age. More than 82.2 percent of all blind people are 50 or older, according to estimates. As life expectancy rises, so does the number of cases of age-related blindness (for example, cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration). Cigarette smoking is a clear risk factor for both cataract and macular degeneration in people over the age of 50. Childhood vision loss accounts for approximately 4% of all visually impaired people. It is, however, the second leading cause of “blind-person years,” after cataract. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of blindness in middle-income countries (Gilbert and Foster 2001). Unfortunately, screening for ROP in preterm infants, as well as the organization and provision of low-vision services, is a tertiary-level function (requiring a well-equipped clinic or hospital with the most modern facilities), and there is no data on the cost-effectiveness of interventions. Poor hygiene, overcrowding, ultraviolet radiation, diabetes mellitus, drugs, micronutrient deficiency, heredity and ethnic background, and consanguinity are more disease-specific factors.

Estimates of the global burden of visual impairment in 2002 were updated using the most recent data on blindness and low vision available (Pascolini and others 2004). More than 161 million people worldwide are visually impaired, with 36.8 million of them blind (Resnikoff and others 2004). Because the international definition refers to best-corrected visual acuity (table 50.2), these figures actually underestimate the global burden of visual impairment, particularly in developing countries where the majority of refractive errors are not corrected (Dandona and Dandona 2003; Fotouhi and others 2004; Naidoo and others 2004). Recognizing that many people do not have their best-corrected vision, a WHO working group has recommended the use of the more accurate “presenting vision.” This recommendation is being considered, and if approved, it would significantly increase estimates of the disease burden attributable to impaired vision.

Even after adjusting for age, the number of women with visual impairment is higher than that of men, according to available studies. Female-to-male prevalence ratios show that women are more likely than men to have a visual impairment in every region of the world: previous studies’ ratios ranged between 1.5 to 1 and 2.2 to 1. (Resnikoff et al., 2004) The main reason given is women’s lack of access to eye care services. In the case of trachoma, increased exposure to risk factors also plays a role. Abou-Gareeb et al. 2001; Nirmalan, Padmavathi, and Thulasiraj 2003).

The IRB handouts are a guide for you to know what to include in your assignment. Do not merely fill in the spaces on the handout for your assignment, but in your written assignment of 5+ pages (abstract page, reference page, and consent form are in addition to the 5+), provide complete and clear quality information that is being requested as written in the handouts for every part of the IRB handouts. This includes a properly completed consent form or forms.
I will attack the sources that I have that your information should come from.

1. A random selection from the school will be done on grades 3-5
2. The selection will be done one week prior at Saegert Elementary at random selection from the principal
3.The materials are pencil, paper with 20 survey questions, projector, wifi, and video clip
4. Teachers will have a list of their students that will participant in the survey, the office call at the time the survey will start. Pencils and the survey paper will be passed around for each student. No emails no mailing
5. The timing of the study will be one day during school hours. 30-45 minutes. No incentives no payment just volunteering.

A. Anonymous collection of data just age and grade level
B. The study is to be conducted in Saegert Elementary School library. I will conduct the test with first getting to know the students first. After a brief introduction of who I am and getting know the students. I will so a video clip of a student being bullied.
