Walden University mission and vision statements relate directly to the skills and experiences needed for success in the Walden Masters of Clinical Research Administration program. The university has pledged in its mission statement to provide "a diverse community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can effect positive social change." The university has a vision of a very different learning community where the practical knowledge that is judged worthy of scholarly research can be applied by its graduates to immediate solutions of critical societal challenges.
The university's translates directly into the Master of Science in Clinical Research Administration program that I hope will prepare me for the key roles that I will have in managing and monitoring life-changing clinical research phases and processes. According to my understanding, the program focuses on modern technologies, safe methods for testing and protecting human subjects.

The mission of Walden University contains three core components. The first component is the nurturing of a "a diverse community of career professionals." The second component is providing the individual and the community with " the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners." The third component of the Walden University mission is the ultimate goal to "effect positive social change." Corresponding to the mission of Walden University is the school's vision. The vision is broader than the mission and includes a "distinctively different 21st-century learning community." The envisioned community is "distinctively different" in that "knowledge is judged worthy to the degree that it can be applied by its graduates to the immediate solutions of critical societal challenges. The application of knowledge thereby "advances the greater global good." In other words, students are expected to have visions that go beyond self-serving, toward serving the community. One of the reasons why I have…...

Walden Two: Human Nature and Society
The bourgeoisie naturally conceives the world in which it is supreme to be the best.

Karl Marx

People throughout history, since the beginning of time began, have been expressing dissatisfaction with the way the world is and trying to find ways to make it better. Along the way various fictional societies called "Utopias," after the book of the same name written by Thomas More in 1515 and 1516, were created in an image of perfectionism. These utopian communities, all somewhat different in many ways and often ultimately oppositional in form and function, nevertheless had one thing in common. Each one boasted proudly that it alone was worthy of the ultimate claim: a foundation of consummate judicial and moral principles with the ultimate result of effortless happiness and true freedom for all its people.

I realized that so much of my anxiety and trouble resulted from things I truly didn't care about. Who was that person who cared? I couldn't tell. It was a relief to find that beneath all the anxieties of daily life, anxieties propelled by rapid turnover and cliched expectations, that I had a personality. Beneath all the extraneous troubles, I had a conscience that would lead me where I needed to go.
Consequently, the peril of too much ambition also became clear to me. So much of life is spent idealizing far off things that when present seem to do little to enrich my life. The burning question of "and then what?" seemed to pervade me. Go to school. And then what? Get a job. And then what? I knew that even if all my goals and ambitions were to be at some point acquired, there would still be that…...

Silber's argument is that private universities and colleges, that he prefers to call 'independent', are really as much public as government-paid universities are since the public factor runs through all of their activities and manifestations. He goes on to laud the qualities of independent universities showing how they show a great record of diversity, how they contribute immensely to public education and professional contributions (in that, for instance, a majority of degrees are accorded to doctors, lawyers, and dentists), how they are careful and prudent in their activities, and, most of all, how so many of these independent institutions are becoming redundant and closing due to inability of expense to keep themselves afloat. Silber argues that in many ways they are more valuable to the public than public-sponsored universities are and that, therefore, it would be worth the taxpayer's while to keep these universities afloat.
Silber's primary fallacy -- and that…...

My dissertation topic is "Teen Pregnancy and Barriers explored within programs which benefit teens as they become teenage parents." The one thing we as parents are familiar with as well as our teens is the contraceptives, birth control, free clinics and information pertaining to STD's that

They both are seeking wisdom and spiritual growth, but for very different reasons. Frankl has to find some kind of order and reason in his experience, or he will either go mad or die. Thoreau's spiritual quest is one of peace and harmony, while Frankl's is one of duress and oppression. He writes, "What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general, but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment" (Frankl 171). At that given moment in time, Frankl's life did not mean anything to anyone but himself, and he used this experience to develop his own philosophy on life and wisdom, just as Thoreau used his experience to develop his own philosophy. The two men had the same goals, but reached them very differently due to their circumstances.
It is difficult to judge who has the best approach, because they both did…...

media are helpful because they each provide a perspective and are, for that reason, important to have. Perspectives and alternate channels allow us to grow and develop again and again, and they also help us to understand the uniqueness of challenges all around us, how they are different and yet how they can also be similar. In this way we can develop a sense of empathy and a sense of community but also a sense of what is in store for us as we embark on this new chapter of our lives.
The Walden Library will probably be most helpful because it is like having a virtual library right at my fingertips. Through it I can have access to assignments, articles, studies, and librarian assistance. This will be of great use because the PhD in Public Policy and Administration program will require me to refer to these valuable sources of…...

Policy Administration My vision for positive social change in the context of my professional and academic goals is to empower marginalized communities and the society as a whole through social change. I believe that in the present day, our existence in the society ought to be dignified. All people should be able to freely and fully exercise their human rights, gain accessibility to basic needs and also experience economic security. In the present day, different populations experience discrimination, for instance women facing prejudice at the workplace and also tribal sects such as the Aboriginal facing discrimination and ostracizing. Therefore, my vision for social change takes into account empowering the communities that are not only marginalized but also disadvantaged. Marginalized groups in different expenses, for instance tribal individuals, unorganized workforces, peasants, dalits, as well as women are all in the present day engaged in a tussle for power to attain equality in…...

Vision
As a student of the Public Policy and Administration program at Walden I looked forward to being a part of the drive towards positive social change in the world by uniting my skills, diligence, energy, time, and orientation to the idea that the world can be transformed for the better into a thriving, united, meaningful and honest society where camaraderie is key and individuals are treated with respect, dignity, transparency, and commitment.

My vision for positive social change is based in a belief that a better, more accountable society can be fostered through a social commitment to truth and transparency. This change could facilitate support for leaders who are transparent and accountable to a higher ideal, who hold themselves accountable, and who strive to do right on a social justice level.

In the context of my professional goals, this vision helps to fortify me against the dangers or temptations of going…...

Research indicates that supply chains help organizations attain competitive advantage. In turn, the successes or letdowns of such supply chains are determined in the open market by the end consumers. Rendering the fitting product, at the fitting price, at the fitting time to the consumer is not only the fundamental aspect to competitive success but also the vital element to survival (Christopher and Towill, 2001). Owing to the fact that the intricacy of supply chains in the present day, partly as a result of globalization and out-sourcing, the manner in which supply chains are structured can make a difference between an organization generating profit or loss. Different types of structures avail the management the choice to select the one that best suits consumer expectations. However, it is imperative for such chosen pipelines to go hand in hand with the business strategy of the supply chain (Christopher and Towill, 2002). In…...

Business and Human Resources: Staffing Plan for a Growing BusinessStaffing presents the businesses to achieve a certain organizational mission and the set target for the years and future. Effective staffing helps companies gain profitability with less incurring turnover costs. It certainly requires shrewd decision-making on the human resources part, as intelligent recruitment strongly associates with organizational success (Sultana and Razi 81). This paper aims to provide a staffing plan for a given scenario. It highlights important factors like staffing models, EEO, legal issues, the importance of job reviews, and strategies for reducing employee turnover.Two Types of Staffing Models Applied To Scenario 1The two staffing models suitable for staffing in scenario 1 are person-job match and collaborative staffing. The person-job fit would enable the company to match the skilled employees with the job requirements of manufacturing surveillance cameras. Their technical knowledge would be required, even for assembly technicalities or quality control,…...
