Introduction Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and pumpkin pie. These are the things that come to the mind of most people when they think about Thanksgiving—and that’s fine. Many major holidays and cultural traditions do revolve around food as a form of significance and celebration. Food is such a major touchstone for many nations, ethnic heritages and cultures and for good reason. Food is a major human biological event; it sustains life and health, is enjoyable and is a massive part of major economies. However, thanksgiving is so much more than a rich meal and expressing fleeting sentiments of gratitude. The following paragraphs will explore all the angles you can take when exploring thanksgiving, particularly ones that offer a more non-traditional approach to the holiday. After reading this article, you should have lots of fodder to create the best thanksgiving essay with a more unique perspective than your peers.

Establishing ASEAN Defence Interaction Programmes
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Charter was formally adopted by the leaders of the ten Member States on 20 November 2007. Although the general original idea of an ASEAN Charter was proposed by Malaysia in 2004, it was not until 2005 that the decision to formulate the Charter was formally adopted at the Eleventh ASEAN Summit. In order to successfully transform the ASEAN Member States into an ASEAN Community, though, a number of structural changes are needed in its institutional framework.

More specifically, the idea to propose the establishment of various Defence Interaction Programmes by the (ASEAN) ten Member States is based on the recognition that that most ASEAN Member States already have their own interaction programmes undertaken at bilateral level. Having noted that ASEAN Member States have established their own interaction programmes at bilateral level, it is therefore necessary to elevate these activities to…...

references. It seems as if much of the conflict stems from misunderstanding. Thus working together in a partnership may work to build a level of understanding that would not otherwise be possible since it is likely that members of the partnerships would form on intergenerational lines voluntarily. Thus members would be effectively forced to learn to appreciate the working styles and various contributions that their partners can produce. Not only would the individuals acquire a new appreciation for their partners, but it could work to produce synergy.

Competition can often serve as a positive force in groups if it is properly harnessed and controlled. It cannot be allowed to exceed responsible and respectful boundaries that, if crossed, can produce a counterproductive effect. However, at the same time competition can foster innovative solutions and ideas that would not be possible in a more relaxed environment. Thus it is recommended that the group pair off into various intergenerational partnerships and it is expected that this can create a new level of cohesion that will hopefully spread to the parent group as well.

egulatory and accrediting bodies and how they impact nursing education

What is the difference between regulation and accreditation? Because regulatory and accreditation bodies are often spoken of in the same breath, it is easy to confuse the two. Both are pertinent to the role of nursing faculty, given that a nursing educator must prepare her students to conform to the standards of the nursing profession, including obtaining licensure. The nursing profession is regulated in the sense that there are barriers to entry even after a nurse has completed a course of study, and faculty must keep this in mind when designing instructive materials. Additionally, nursing programs themselves must receive accreditation from an outside source to ensure they meet specific curriculum standards in terms of the education they provide. There is widespread acknowledgement for the need for both regulation and accreditation to ensure patient safety and…...

experts would likely agree with the very general statement that individuals who exercise, or who implement an exercise regime, are much more likely to lose weight and alleviate pain experienced from a variety of diseases and maladies. It would seem that much of the current literature would provide evidence of this hypothesis. This specific study, however, seeks to do more than just ascertain the results from such a general question. This study seeks to determine whether initiating an exercise regime for patients experiencing osteoarthritis can lower the level of the pain they are feeling and increase their mobility through adherence to that regime.
This study will, in essence then, take a two-pronged approach. The first is to determine whether patients with suffering from osteoarthritis can lower the level and incidence of pain they suffer by implementing a basic exercise regime. If so, this study wishes to determine just how much…...

components of strategic management. They include internal and external analysis, strategy formulation and strategy implementation (Clayton, 2014). The external analysis allows the company to understand what opportunities and threats exist in the market. The internal analysis allows the company to understand its own capabilities and weaknesses, the latter of which might constrain what options it will be able to pursue. Once these are known the company can then formulate a strategy. This can be to leverage strengths to pursue opportunities or remove threats, or the company can choose to shore up weaknesses as a means of defending against threats. A critical role of management is to make good strategy decisions. Implementation is the next step, and this relies on management understanding the steps to getting the company to execute the strategy it has formulate. Understanding the tactics and changes that need to be made in order to execute the…...

strategic plan II
Environmental Analysis

An environmental analysis is an important component, and indeed a prerequisite, to the strategic plan. It stands to reason that you cannot set a course for the future without knowing the route you will take, and you cannot know the route until you have the lay of the land. The environmental analysis is "a process in which you look at the outside factors that can have an impact on your business" (Arthur, 2014). The strategic plan depends on the information you gather about the trends in and nature of the external environment, so it is incredibly important that the environmental analysis is taken seriously. There are a number of different tools that have been developed in the management literature that can assist with creating an effective environmental analysis, including the SWOT Analysis, the PESTLE analysis, the Five Forces analysis and the value chain analysis (Downey, 2007).

We can explain the concept of what punishment is and how it could be tied to not drinking water, as well as explain how you could chart or graph results with a study group that was not drinking water and a control group that was consuming the recommended amount of water.   Unfortunately, you omitted some of the information we would need to write an answer specifically addressing the experiment you appear to be referencing.  

This could be a challenging assignment because if there is a defining principal to describe Native American beliefs, it would probably be that there is no defining principal to describe Native American beliefs.  Native American tribes practiced a range of different religions and they included, but were not limited to, polytheistic, pantheistic, monotheistic, henotheistic, animistic, and shamanistic religions.  There were some shared elements among Native American belief systems, but many differences, as well.  In addition, it can be very difficult to understand Native American beliefs at the time of contact with Europeans because of the tremendous losses....

In Zambia, there a number of different ways to access healthcare.  However, we are struggling to answer what the five health care providers are in the country.  There are more than five main hospitals or clinics in Zambia that provide healthcare, only two healthcare ministries, and various types of health workers including doctors, nurses, midwives, clinical officers, technicians, medical teaching staff, medical consulates, and medical licentiates.  If we had to choose the five types of healthcare providers in Zambia, we would probably break them down into those five broad categories: health technicians, nurses, midwives, doctors, and clinical....

This prompt appears to be related to a graduate school admission essay and should, ideally, draw upon your personal experience.  It is difficult to advise you about what to write, because we simply do not have the information from you to answer those questions.  Are you going to be in the same field?  Are you entering the business world for the first time?  What has led you to choose this particular career?  Graduate school admission essays are a little different from college admission essays, because they are a little easier for admissions offices to fact-check.
