ASTHMA ESSAY

3500 word essay
Based on case study (not included in word count)
Written from perspective of a Nurse Practitioner reflecting on the case of patient who came into his/her care.
Essay focuses on atopy and asthma and importance of reviewing patients before increasing therapies (as explained below).
Must include UK and Global references, including latest British Thoracic Guidelines and NICE Guidelines available both online and through print sources.

INTRODUCTION
Identify background / key issues that are to be discussed i.e. stepping up asthma treatment, and importance of the review itself, i.e. checking device technique, concordance with therapy and identifying new or exacerbating triggers.

CONTENT
This is the main bulk of the essay. Discuss and expand on the issues identified in your introduction, making reference to appropriate literature and guidelines.
Discuss the fact the patient chose to access a Walk in Centre (unscheduled care) and analyse the different reasons why this setting may have been chosen by the patient, as well as overview of challenges for the practitioner working in this environment i.e. no medical records, no continuity of care, no access to test results etc. Include within this an overview of the Nurse Practitioner role.
Introduce the patient, their own medical history, drug history, allergies and social history, also their socioeconomic and cultural background and provide a reasoned analysis of why these aspects are relevant to the patients presentation (supported with research). In particular, atopy and links to asthma, focusing on the presence of pets (cat allergies specifically) and why some patients can live with a cat for years without asthma symptoms, then another cat introduced to the household can trigger an exacerbation (support with research/evidence).
Provide an overview of how the patient was assessed with asthma symptoms..., what was it from the history that prompted the practitioner to consider asthma as a potential diagnosis (atopic history (dry skin/rhinitis), new allergen to environment, poor medication control, reduced peak flow). This must be supported with analysis using guidelines, research i.e. BTS evidence etc.
Critique the management plan (which consisted of the 3 staged approach of asthma review; i.e. check concordance, check inhaler technique, check for new triggers - reference), also the use of combination therapy as method improving concordance and the importance of controlling allergy factors with asthma (evidence). Discuss and interpret the management plan including a critical analysis and evaluation of the patient, past, present and future management (i.e. discussion regarding how the patient was put on both inhalers one month ago, then this was increased, and given antibiotics....without checking concordance, technique, new triggers etc). Perhaps in hindsight a week of prednisalone would have been useful - discuss?
Provide an overview of the effect of chronic illness on the patient and their family, in the context of quality of life, exacerbations etc.
Discuss the education given to the patient and its importance, supported with evidence and relevant literature. In particular the importance of patients understanding how to use their medicine (referenced), importance of asthma management plans (referenced) and know when to seek help (referenced).
CONCLUSION
Summarise key issues, linking together main discussion points to bring your essay to a rounded conclusion.
Key points:
Importance of good asthma reviews
Importance of history taking and inhaler device assessment.
Importance of managing allergies alongside asthma management.

REFERENCES
No less than 25 references should be used. These must include extensive use of literature and research articles from Respiratory Journals and Publications, including the latest BTS and NICE guidelines.

Appendix - case study - (not included in word count)
62 year old female, presented to a Walk in centre with a 3 week history of chesty cough, chest tightness and wheezing, on top of her usual hay fever symptoms for which she was taking Multi-vitamins and cetirizine 10mg daily.
Her GP had already put her on a Becotide (2 puffs 100mg twice daily) and Salbutamol 100mcg (2 puffs as needed), with no significant improvement. After 1 week on this therapy, her GP changed it to Symbicort 2 puffs twice daily, added in Amoxicillin 250mg three times daily. At this time there were no fever/sputum/sob/anorexia/chest pain/dizziness). Judith reported a good exercise tolerance, no ankle swelling and no PND or orthopnoea. Although she denies any eczema, she did report having always suffered with dry skin particularly in skin flexures, hands etc which she uses creams for. She has also suffered with hay fever since her teens, and reports her skin flaring up occasionally with dry, cracking episodes. She takes Cetirizine from May to Sept every year.
Past medical history: ? Eczema, Hay fever.
Family medical history Mother had 'lung problems' - unsure of diagnosis. Father: unsure of illness/died very young.
Drug history: Cetirizine, Multivitamins, Symbicort.
A: No known allergies to medications. (pollen, dust = causes wheezing)
Social history: married, lives with husband of 44 yrs years, retired retail assistant, lifelong non-smoker, got a new cat 4 weeks ago (last pet died 6 months ago, a cat she had for 7 years).
On examination: Walked in, well looking, good colour, alert and orientated, speaking clearly, no acute breathlessness, oxygen saturations 97% on air, pulse 80 regular, respiratory rate 19 per minute, Peak flow measurement 270 litres per minute (predicted 400lpm) with a poor technique, eye exam normal, ENT clear, chest good air entry, slight expiratory wheeze, no crackles, percussion noted resonant, expansion equal. Heart sounds and cardiac examination normal. Skin: dry eczematous patches of skin to both dorsal aspects of hands, cracking to palms, eczema patches behind both knees, no secondary infection.
Impression: Uncontrolled Allergic Disorder +/- High probability of asthma.
Plan: long chat with patient and husband about importance of adequate control of allergy symptoms and its impact on lung health etc. Discussed importance of diagnosis, strongly advised to see practice nurse for full respiratory assessment (spirometry). Discussed medications at length, checked turbohaler technique using whistle demonstrators = very poor, full demonstration and practice undertaken, with considerable improvement in technique, whistle issued to take home with patient information. Advised use Symbicort 200/6, 2 doses twice daily, up titrated as directed, continue with cetirizine 10mg daily, add in Beconase nasal spray 2 doses each nostril twice daily, stop amoxicillin as clinically no indication at this time (patient requesting to stop due to diarrhoea), discussed allergen avoidance, long chat with patient and husband about new cat, explained it is quite possible to be unaffected by one animal and triggered by another, particularly one with long hair as her new cat has. Strongly advised to see gp for review in next week.

This can take the form of a grant proposal that incorporates strategic planning principles. It may be a strategic plan for new services. This can also be a research paper which explores your topic. Use this as an opportunity to expand your knowledge base and to actually utilize the concepts on a real-life project.

Discuss your topic with your professor and touch base frequently so that this paper is focused. Recommended 25-30 pages, APA.

My instructions to writer:

Paper to cover developing a nurse practitioner led business. The business is to be a wellness and recovery facility for individuals with mental illness. Alabama recently closed all but one state operated facility. The facility will offer residential and day treatment services.

Question was...Full inclusion is the best avenue educationally for students with disabilities. My concern is for the moderately to severly profound impaired students spend may be the inclusivein the classroom; studies suggest these children are improving academically, but what happens to the necessary life skills they are missing from the full inclusion classroom? Most research focuses on the here and now and forgets the future.

Chapters 3-5 Body of the paper

It is in the field of psychology, about a behavior I would like to change. I chose about i should start to go to the gym and exercise. Write about the process and how I lost two pounds each week for going to the gym 45 ,minutes everyday.you can imagine yourself doing that and write it on my behalf. please find the steps of the paper below,


Here are the steps:
1. Select a behavior that you would like to change, one that you?d like to increase or
decrease or modify in some way (Examples: eating junk or high-fat foods, chewing gum, smoking, getting angry, studying, exercising, spending money, worrying, etc).
2. Define your specific goal, consider the benefits and barriers, and choose a behavior modification plan.
3. Design a method of tracking your daily progress. This could be a tallying form, a data table, etc. This device should allow you to record the frequency and/or duration of your behavior on a daily basis. (if your behavior is something that is done several times a day, you might want to create a data tracking device that you can carry along with you).
4. Record your behavior, following the procedures you have developed, throughout the term. Write a 4-5 page report that includes the following points:

Goal-Setting and Monitoring
? What behavior did you try to change? What was your precise goal? (for example, to increase/decrease the frequency and or duration)
? What were the benefits that you perceived to changing your behavior? In other words, why did you want to change your behavior?
? How did you keep track of (record) your daily progress? Very briefly describe the type of tallying sheet (or recording device) that you used.


Motivation
? Where do you think your goal would fall on Maslow?s hierarchy of motives and why? What types of counter-motives made it difficult for you to accomplish your goal (example; hunger, pleasure, etc.) Where would these counter-motives fall on Maslow?s hierarchy?
? Did you feel more intrinsically or extrinsically motivated to change this behavior and why?
? Did your goal involve the behavioral activation system (BAS) or the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and why? Was your goal more approach- or avoidance-oriented and why?
? Do you think that your motives contributed to your outcome? How and why?
Learning

Emotions, Barriers, and Social Support
? What types of emotions did you feel when trying to change your behavior? How did you feel along the way and how were these emotions related to the amount of effort you invested in trying to change your behavior?
? What were some of the barriers that you encountered while trying the change the behavior? Did you expect these barriers when you started or did they surprise you along the way? What did you do to overcome these barriers?
? Did you enlist the help of family and friends in trying to change your behavior? Was this helpful or harmful?

Conclusion
? Did you reach your goal or not? How do you feel about the outcome? What could you do differently in the future to be even more successful at changing your behavior? If you do not reach your goal, that is okay. The purpose of this assignment is to make you aware of the psychological principles involved in behavioral changes and to get you to think critically about the course material and readings related to your behavioral change attempts.
? How did you go about trying to change your behavior? Did you use any of the behavior learning strategies that we discussed in class such as classical or operant conditioning?
? How did you use these strategies? Did they work or not?

TITTLE OF THE THESIS: The Face of Violence: Art as witness, interpreter and mediator of violence in Colombia.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This thesis evaluates the social role of art in the problem of violence in Colombia, as an active element, witness, interpreter and mediator, and the relationship between artists and social circumstances in Colombia.

I. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Narrative

The description of the violence in Colombia has been a theme well enough dissected nationally and internationally. On the contrary, Colombian art and its history seem to be secluded to a more local context and are, for the most part, frequently overlooked.
A great part of Colombian art, as it happens elsewhere, represents what happens in the country. Unfortunately, violence has been a big part of Colombians lives throughout their history. Through an analysis of the work of Colombian artists that have worked with violence as a subject for their art, this thesis examines the social role of art in the problem of violence in Colombia; art as an active element, witness, interpreter and mediator, and the relationship between artists and social circumstances in Colombia.
This concept is of primary importance, since as first hand witnesses of the history of Colombia and as activists of an aesthetic expression, artists have a very interesting story to share with the rest of the world. This dissertation seeks to have a social effect. If these ideas, concepts and expressions are shared, this can be a contribution for a better understanding about what is happening in Colombia. It can promote a greater awareness and civic commitment. After all, art must have a social function and civic responsibility.


B. Art and Violence in Colombia
Since the beginning of the 20th Century, several artists have dedicated themselves to represent violence in Colombia. However, it wouldnt be until of mid-century when they really felt compromised with the social reality of the country. Between 1948 and 1958, Colombia lived a period called La Violencia. This sudden outbreak of violence was the result of a longtime constrained frustration by the public over the corrupted and centralized government and spread throughout the entire country. Like never before, an important number of artists responded to the events and became aesthetic activists. This difficult time produced a very intense movement in culture and arts in general; writers such as Alvaro Mutis, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Leon de Greiff came to the public light. Artists such as Alejandro Obregn, Fernando Botero, Deborah Arango, Pedro Nel Gmez, and Luis Caballero, among others, began to use their work to denounce, protest, and/or criticize political and social injustice.
Guerillas and paramilitary movements, created in the 1960s and extremely active during the following two decades, concentrated their subversive and terrorist activities mostly in rural areas where peasants and indigenous were the main victims. An example of the artistic production at the time is the group Factory Four, formed by the artists: Nirma Zrate (1939-1999) and Diego Arango (1942), and other artists.
The last decades of the 20th Century brought a new generation of artists facing a different type of violence when, in addition to the old political conflicts, the drug and narcotics traffic war made its entrance. In the 1980s, narcotics trafficking became a multi-billion dollar illicit business in Colombia. By the 1990s, the internal war between cartels, in addition to the Colombian government and international military persecution reached the cities that for almost two decades were fairly safe.
For many artists and regular citizens, it was an awakening. Now, artists were first hand witnesses living in the middle of a social, political, and criminal violence. The 1980s and 90s produced art with different points of view, diverse approaches, and new means of expression. Artists like Juan Fernando Herrn (1963) use photography to question the institutional aspects of the war against narcotics trafficking. Or, for example, Jose Alejandro Restrepo (1959) explores the origins of violence and works with video-installations. Different perspectives, such as the feminist, gained strength. Two of the most influential artists who have dedicated their work to the subject of violence are Beatriz Gonzlez (1938) and Doris Salcedo (1958). They work with images taken from real events, but their message is neither political nor social. Gonzalez and Salcedo focus on the human, intimate, and personal vision of the victims and survivors of violence.
Today, Colombia is undergoing a rehabilitation process. Citizens and government, in general, understand that everybody has a civic responsibility and that in order to end violence in the country, it is necessary to work with the people. Victims and non-victims must learn from the past and heal, but not forget. Many sectors of society; governmental institutions, church, industry, artists, and cultural organizations are participating and creating public programs that use art as a therapeutic, educational, and edifying tool. Art has become a means for exercises on collective memory, relief, and expression.


C. Boundaries
From an historic and social perspective, this thesis is divided in three main sections that address the artistic production of distinctive and crucial periods of time in the last half of the 20th Century, when, in consensus with most historians, Colombia entered cultural modernity. The first part deals with the political violence in the 1950s and revolutionary violence from the 1960s to the 80s. The second one concentrates on the terroristic and narcotic violence in the 1980s and 90s. Finally, the third section focuses on violence in the new millennium and the new approaches to it.


D. Objectives
Beyond the analysis of certain works of art, this project seeks to learn how art has reflected, produced, generated and /or facilitated new views to the problem of violence. It also attempts to evaluate the impact of the Colombian socio-political situation in artistic production, and how much art has been or not been engaged with the circumstances in Colombia.
General Objetives:
-To study the different periods of violence in Colombia since the second half of the 20th Century and the consequent artistic production.
-To relate the content of the diverse works with the phenomenon of violence in Colombia identifying the historical content.
-To analyze of the works of Colombian artists that address the theme of violence, their perceptions of the country, and their positions; what message they want to express in their work and their contribution to the field.
-To study the capacity of aesthetic language to interpret and transmit the reality of Colombian situation concerning violence.


II. JUSTIFICATION:
My first approach to the subject was when I was writing the term paper for my Latin America Art class about violence in the art of Alejandro Obregon. I found out violence was a repeated topic for Colombian artists. A year later, I participated in the symposium Visible Players in Civic Life; Museums and Civic Engagement organized by City College of New York. My paper, Everyday Museums, makes reference to the public programs developed by the National Museum of Colombia seeking reflection on cultural heritage, social situation of victims of violence, and practical actions of civic participation. Cultural action in Colombia has not had a tradition of being evaluated and the hunt for research material was particularly difficult.
Within the subject of art and violence, literature is limited. The most important text is the catalogue for the exhibition Arte y violencia en Colombia desde 1948, published by the Museum of Modern Art of Bogota. This catalog shows a variety of artists who have addressed violence in their works, the multiple manifestations and approaches to the subject. Most of the works on the subject were published before 1980 and focus on the period of La Violencia. There are few more recent texts, but most of them are theses, urveys, or encyclopedias. Contextual and formal analyses are left mainly for articles and cultural magazines.
In recent years, the general awakening has influenced some artists and scholars to write from different perspectives. An example of that are the reflections on the origin of violence and its reasons in Cuerpo Gramatical: Cuerpo, arte y violencia by Jose Alejandro Restrepo. Anthropologist Pilar Riao Alcala whose work focuses on violence and social engagement, writes about public art in Encounters with Memory and Mourning: Public Art as Collective Pedagogy of Reconciliation. Colombian historian Ana Maria Reyes wrote a thesis for her masters degree at University of Chicago entitled Fernando Boteros Pictorial Language of La Violencia en Colombia. Reyes, who was my professor at same university, also wrote Horrific Beauty: Commemoration and the Aestheticization of Violence in Contemporary Colombian Art; a paper presented at the seminar, New Perspectives in the Study of Social Conflict, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. No a comprehensive study about art, violence and civic engagement in Colombia has been done. It is certainly pertinent.

THEOLOGY RESEARCH PAPER
PAPER MUST BE WRITTEN FROM A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN VIEWPOINT!
10 double-spaced pages in length, with default margins and 12-pt. font in Times New Roman. You should include sources that support and contradict a specific position. Ten sources are required. Please use footnotes with a bibliography formatted in accordance with Turabian standards.

The goal of this paper is to not only conclude with a position (even if tentative) regarding the theological issue investigated, but also to interact with the content and arguments for and against the positions that entail all sides of the issue. In other words, you must interact with and respond to opposing views, as well as seriously consider the strengths and weaknesses of your position. In writing this paper, you should work with the biblical text and interact with theological and exegetical arguments used to support all sides of the issue, but nevertheless come to conclusions based upon the strength of the arguments being studied. In doing research of this kind, you are encouraged to use primary sources written by proponents of the positions being espoused. Do not exclusively use secondary sources that summarize the content of a position. Instead, be sure to use sources that argue in support of a position.

The Providence Debate: In the realm of God's providence, there are numerous variables and nuanced positions. Consider the two broader views-the Arminian and the Calvinist views-and evaluate the merits of each as to whether or not there might be alternatives views that incorporated both perspectives. Remember that this debate has less to do with the soteriological issues and more to do with God's control over the happenings that occur in the world in which humans live and make daily choices.

University of Phoenix Material

Food Intake ? 3 Days

Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper that addresses the following points about the 3-day food intake information you recorded in iProfile:

? Recorded intake of protein, carbohydrates, and lipids

o Which foods in your recorded daily intake provide protein? Which provide carbohydrate? Which provide lipids?

o Review how your recorded protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake compares with the recommendations of the dietary reference intake (DRI). If your recorded protein-carbohydrate-fat intake was too high or too low, which foods might you add or remove to achieve your goal and keep other nutrients in balance?

o Is the protein in each of the foods you ate complete or incomplete, thus combining to become complementary? Why is this fact important?

o How much of your daily-recommended protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake did you achieve? Were you surprised by the number? If your macronutrient intake is insufficient, what might you do to bring it into the recommended range? Provide specific recommendations.

? Macronutrient intake ranges

o Is macronutrient intake within the recommended range important? What are the effects of too much or too little of a macronutrient? What happens if you consistently eat too little protein? What happens if you eat too few carbohydrates? What happens if you eat too few lipids?

? Fiber intake ranges

o Does your fiber total meet 100% of the recommendation for you as calculated at the iProfile website?

o Do you think your intake was too high, too low, or just right? Provide a rationale.

o Does your diet meet the minimum number of servings of foods from each fiber-containing group? If not, which of the fiber-containing groups?fruits and vegetables?fell short of the recommended intake?

o Which specific foods provide the most fiber in your days? meals? Which provide the least? Identify trends in your food choices that might affect your fiber intakes.

? Dietary modifications

o Are you able to identify any patterns or trends within your diet? If so, what are they?

o What changes might you make among your vegetables, fruits, meat and meat alternatives, or grain choices to increase the fiber in your diet?

o Do your meals include fiber-rich bean dishes, such as chili, beans in a salad, or split-pea soup?

o If you drink fruit juice instead of eating whole fruit, what might happen to the fiber content and calorie content in your diet?

o How might insufficient or excessive amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, or fiber contribute to health or illness? Provide examples.

Cite three references other than the course textbooks.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

As Lakoff and Johnson written:"Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature." As you are the author of your own life, for this assignment you will find a conceptual metaphor that has had some major significance in your life. You will examine and evaluate how this conceptual metaphor has influenced your thoughts and actions.

As Lakoff and Johnson have done,you will use your conceptual metaphor to hold the paper together, and you will prvde variations(linguistic derivations and offshoots of this metaphor) as examples or evidnce for what this system is like and how it works".

Paper following:

Stereotyping of Minorities in the Media

The United States is often characterized as a melting pot, unique for the incredible diversity of ethnicities, nationalities, races and religions that are represented across this nation. And yet, in many ways, its populations remain largely segregated, voluntarily inclined toward communities of their own kind and into social circles, organizations and institutions where such is similarly the case. This is an experience which is common for many Americans, who have viewed other groups through the homogeneity of their own experiences. This contrasts the experience of the dominant culture, a white ethnic spectrum which in total constitutes somewhere in the range of 70% of the population. (Day, 1) This is racial dynamic which facilitates a hegemonic approach to defining and conceptualizing other ethnicities, races and cultures. The result is a set of cultural artifacts perpetuating stereotypical composites of various minorities. These are constructed through various media to confirm hegemonic thinking and used to sustain existing racial power dynamics.
Negative stereotyping is typically a product of limited interaction with members of another ethnic or cultural group, which accounts for the correlation between its presence in the media and the segregation which is generally pervasive in American culture. Indeed, according to Fiske (2004), ?stereotyping entails applying to an individual one?s cognitive expectancies and association about the group. As such, stereotypes represent one specific kind of schema.? (Fiske, 398) Such schema are only made necessary by an absence of true understanding or awareness. In a society where segregation does not occur so consistently as is the case in America?where races and ethnicities are often divided along socioeconomic and geographical lines?the tendency to appeal to such schema is likely to be reduced.
According to the study by Cuddy et al, (2007) ?emotions predict behavioral tendencies more strongly than stereotypes do and usually mediate stereotype-to-behavioral-tendency links.? (Cuddy et al, 631) In a very real and problematic way, media outlets tend to exploit these emotions by representing minority cultures in ways that either appeal to our expectations or which manipulate our fears to greater heights.
These effects suggest a reciprocal relationship between our media and our own racial and ethnic biases as a culture. For instance, the well-known inequality faced by African Americans is carried out not just in the judicial system and through economic exclusion, but also by the delivery of negative stereotypes through the media. These have the effect of both informing a negative self-image for African Americans and of perpetuating unfair assumptions by the hegemonic culture regarding the cultural characteristics of the particular group. These abuses were psychological and would help to keep a degrading racist picture of African American people in the public eye. This racist picture would help the reigning political order to justify the oppression of African Americans. In the Kern-Foxworth (1994) article, the author considers the way that advertising after the Civil War would help to keep negative stereotypes and ideas about African Americans alive even after slavery had ended.
Two popular ways of showing the African American which were used liberally in the years around the turn of the century would depict him either as very simple or as a backwards and dangerous savage. By the early 1900s, it had become normal for cartoons on products that were for sale and in advertisement illustrations to show African Americans in the negative ways that whites preferred to view them. The Sambo stereotype was used quite frequently and, with serious reflection, remains evident in the self-deprecating humor of many African American humorists today. This image has allowed for the idea by white people that the African American is naturally simple and obedient. This idea facilitates advertisements which show the black man as being ignorant in a way that is meant to be funny. An insulting description of African Americans which comes with a coffee product discussed the article states that ?the banjo is the favorite instrument of the Negro and adds to gaiety of his home life in his cabin. Here while thrumming the notes, and beating time with his foot, he teaches his young pickaninnies to make their crude steps in harmony with the music.? (Kern-Foxworth, 34) The advertisement uses degrading and condescending words like ?crude? and ?pickaninnies.? But also, it shows the African American as being happy without addressing the stark inequalities in his life. This is a false and ironic way of showing African Americans, casting a sharp counterpoint to the lynching?s and other crimes still perpetrated against African Americans.
These associations demonstrate the destructive potential of media stereotyping which today frequently casts African Americans as the criminal villains in a law and order society. Depictions of other groups seem to reflect a similar desire to cast the social ?other? in a villainous role. With respect to the depictions of Jews, for instance, recent cases in popular culture illustrate, there does genuinely exist an often unspoken but continually relevant mistrust of the Jews amongst other cultures. The inflammatory notion that the Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is a mythologized over-simplification of history that has helped to sustain an unwavering if often invisible image problem for the Jews. The spotlight created by the situation of conflict in Israel has been very pertinent to this conception of the Jew as deceptive, combative and imbued with a sense of superiority. (Patterson, 1) This notion has been a long-standing provocateur of resentment against the Jews.
In 2004, Director Mel Gibson became embroiled in controversy for producing what may likely be considered the most direct and explicit work of anti-Semitism created for mainstream consumption since WWII. In The Passion of the Christ, which would ultimately gross more than $370 million at the box office, Gibson would retell the story of Jesus with a focus on the myth of the Jew as a weak, effeminate figure whose treachery caused the death of the Messiah. (BOM, 1) The recall of an otherwise fading perspective on the Jews returned the pointlessly divisive question to the public discourse, likewise causing a firestorm that would have a dramatically negative effect on Gibson?s theretofore well-cast public image. The Academy Award winning director would prove with this film that the response from both anti-Semites and Jews would be substantial. Its successful performance in the box office would illustrate that support does still exist for this media depiction of the Jews.
The two examples of African American and Jewish American experiences demonstrate that even as American society appears to achieve ever greater social egalitarianism, its core ethnocentrism still drives a wedge between reality and the impression held of America?s minorities.

Note to the writer:

Please predate this research in 2005. In other words, use references or sources dated before 2005.

I do not have the actual data for this research. In other words I have not distributed the questionnaires to the 10 subjects mentioned. You will have to simulate or assume the questionnaires were given, or replace the questionnaires with focus group. Anyway, this research will serve as a model for research students, specifically in terms of form.

What the research is about:

To explore the role of email in students academic lives, ten college students use of email in the submission of assignments and class work will be observed in a period of one term (4 months). It is anticipated that through email there will be faster submission of assignments, due to the fact that the teacher can easily check online. In other words, there is a sense of obligation among students to pass the assignments on time since technology provides them the speed. These predicted results have implications on the importance and usefulness of technology, specifically email, in academics.

I will email some other notes.

Assignment #1 Helpful Hints

Here are some helpful hints .

1. The introduction section of your paper should begin with some general statements. Try to share something that is interesting or attention grabbing. The last sentence in the introduction paragraph (one paragraph) will be your thesis statement which tells the reader the purpose of the paper and what will be discussed. Dont pose your thesis statement as a question. It should clearly state that the purpose of the paper is to..

2. Describe your system in which you currently practice . CURRENTLY WORKING IN THE HOSPICE END OF LIFE SETTING Be specific about your system. What kind of institution NON PROFIT HOSPICE INPATIENT UNIT WITH 36 BEDS LOCATED CAPE CORAL FLA, where is it located, how many beds, etc. Give the reader a sense of place about your system. Describe your practice issue for us. Be clear and succinct. Why did you choose this issue? Is there a problem on your unit/in your system that really needs your focus? Has some problem resulted in negative patient outcomes?

You also will need to describe your search methodology. We want to be sure you are doing a thorough search and need to see what databases and any other sources you have accessed. Include the number of hits you have obtained.

3. When we say provide a synthesis of the evidence, we are not talking about a listing of studieswe are referring to an overview of the literature. What is out there? Where are the gaps? This section of your paper should probably be around 1 pages in length, depending on how much literature there is related to your issue. Again, do not include a listing of each study and what was found, give a synthesis.

Ex. In relation to pain management of breast cancer patients, 5 of the 20 studies reviewed concluded that nurse practitioners do not.(citation 1; citation 2; citation 3; citation 4; citation 5).

However, we dont want to see something like, Three studies found X. Two studies found Y. Five studies found Z. If you are confused and want to see an example of what is meant by a synthesis, look at an article in the background or literature review section.
