Assignment 2: Current Events and U.S. DiplomacyDue Week 9 and worth 175 pointsThis paper will be a revised and expanded version of the firstresearch paper. Based on your instructor’s feedback, you will firstrevise the first paper. Write three-to-four (3-4) new pages that address the following:Define presidential doctrine and summarize the regional or global events during the Cold War leading up to the formation of the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1.Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between the country you selected and the U.S. before the presidential doctrine was announced.Describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and the country you selected in section (2) above.Describe the effect that the presidential doctrine has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War.Assess whether or not the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1 doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced.Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.To help you understand this assignment further, the following description and examples may be useful.Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president would want to announce one. A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses to advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreign policy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on this theme. Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrine you wrote about then. Say, for example, you selected the Truman Doctrine. Therefore, this is the only thing you will write about in Assignment 2 step 1. Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S. Before the presidential doctrine was announced. In the case of Truman, you would pick either the Soviet Union, Greece, or Iran, since all three were affected by his doctrine. If you are writing about the Eisenhower Doctrine, you would choose Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about the Kennedy Doctrine, you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wrote about the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam, Saudi Arabia or Iran; if you chose Carter, you would select either Iran or Afghanistan; and if you wrote about the Reagan Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russia or Afghanistan (although there were several others).Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you chose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War. That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo regionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.? What happened in Western Europe after the Truman Doctrine was announced? What happened in the Middle East after the Eisenhower Doctrine was announced? What happened with Cuba or Vietnam after Kennedy offered up his doctrine of flexible response? What happened in Southeast Asia or the Persian Gulf after the Nixon Doctrine went in effect? What happened in the Middle East after the Carter Doctrine was announced? What happened in Central America or Africa or the Middle East after Reagan announced his doctrine?Step 4: Refer back to the country you selected in step two and describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and that country. How has the relationship changed between the U.S. and that country since the doctrine was announced?Step 5: Evaluate whether or not the presidential doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the one country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced.

Compare and contrast the development and use of GAAP and IFRS. Do you think the implementation of international accounting standards is feasible? Please explain.

I need a 150 word reply to each of the following two forum posts made by my classmates (300-words total) (the original forum question[1] is at the bottom):Reply #1 [1]For this first discussion point, I decided to go with question number one. Primarily because I have no idea what GAAP and IFRS even are! I figure this will give me a good opportunity to do some research and learn about them.GAAP is short for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which within the United States, delivers boundaries and standards for accounting practices. These accounting boundaries and standards would include financial statements such as the balance sheet and income statement.With GAAP, outside parties such as investors or board members can learn quite a bit about a company just from financial statements like the balance sheet or income statement. This allows for greater transparency into the health of any business.IFRS is short for International Financial Reporting Standards. From reading through some articles, the main intent of IFRS is to create a set of standards that are easily understood, enforceable, and of high quality. These standards help any company to prepare its financial statements, share information, and report economic reports. Very similar to GAAP, IFRS also provides outside parties reliable and transparent information about a business’s financial strength, market position, and their performance.The major difference between these two is that GAAP is primarily used in the United States and IFRS is most commonly used internationally. Even though GAAP and IFRS assist in guiding businesses on how to report their financial information so that others can make knowledgeable decisions, results can very on which process is used.The United States, as well as other super-power countries, around the world, are constantly doing dealings with various companies. I would say that most of these dealings would be large-scale companies, such as Samsung Electronics and Apple, implementation of international accounting would be feasible. On the other side, the United States has a lot of small very wealthy companies. That being said, I do not think the implementation of accounting standards worldwide would be feasible. Resourceshttps://scalefactor.com/ask-the-experts/what-is-gaap/https://www.businessinsider.com/ifrs Reply #2 Hello class,I chose to answer question #2. I have pasted it below for reference.“Look at the origins and purposes of accounting and discuss how our society’s development has been affected by its use. Could our society function as it currently does without accounting? Please explain.”My answer to this question would have to be, no, our society could not function as it currently does without accounting. Our society, the way it functions currently requires accounting. Every single business entity in the world needs it to ensure they are in a good profit margin as well as ensuring they are operating efficiently. The only way to ensure that is to keep a good record of all finances and using accounting be it by hiring an accountant or having some accounting background. Every business has profits and losses. A business cannot function without a profit, or it will go bankrupt.According to the basic accounting equation of assets = liabilities + stockholders’ equity, without accounting, businesses would have no way of tracking how much money they were really profiting or spending. This would cause stockholders to question whether their money was being taken care of as well as whether they should continue to keep stock in this business. Without accounting and all aspects of the process, businesses would just see money coming in and going out with no system of knowing whether they were profiting or loosing until it was happening in front of their face with no warning. There would be no balance sheets, no income statements, nothing at all to track anything dealing with money to the full extent. Accounting works by showing where money is going and where its coming from as well as where there needs to be some help and where you can pull from. It helps to create informed decisions to keep businesses thriving, without it, businesses would be making decisions that are on a gut feeling or uninformed much like trying to throw a dart at a dart board with a blindfold on. You have no way of knowing where the dart board is in retrospect of yourself or if you’re aiming in the right direction. [1] Original Forum Question:The Week 1 Discussion consists of two separate questions. You will answer one of the three questions. (1st question) Compare and contrast the development and use of GAAP and IFRS. Do you think the implementation of international accounting standards is feasible? Please explain.(2nd question) Look at the origins and purposes of accounting and discuss how our society’s development has been affected by its use. Could our society function as it currently does without accounting? Please explain.

In what ways was the period from 1941 to 2016 the American Century, and what ways was it not?

NOTE: This course is about global/world change throughout the century. Please answer the question based on this aspect. 1. In 1941, Henry Luce (who owned Time Magazine and other media properties) wrote an editorial arguing that the century going forward would be “the American Century.” In what ways was the period from 1941 to 2016 the American Century, and what ways was it not? On balance, would you agree that it still is the American Century? 2. Consider the relationship between global collective action problems and global institutions over the period from 1950 to 2000. Which major collective action problems have global institutions dealt with rather well, and which have they failed to deal with very well? What explains the results you identify. [Be sure to think about several different collective problems, and develop criteria to assess whether the collective action problems are dealt with well or not.]3. Major powers attempted to create new world orders in 1919, 1945, and perhaps in 1991. Why did those orders breakdown so quickly? Was there a different pattern to their breakdowns? Should we draw common lessons from their breakdowns or is each case different? Explain.

Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.

Discussion: Applying Differential Diagnosis to Depressive and Bipolar DisordersWhat is it truly like to have a mental illness? By considering clients’ lived experiences, a social worker becomes more empathetic and therefore better equipped to treat them. In this Discussion, you analyze a case study focused on a depressive disorder or bipolar disorder using the steps of differential diagnosis.To prepare: View the TED Talk “Depression, the Secret We Share” (TED Conferences, LLC, 2013) https://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_solomon_depression_the_secret_we_share#t-23422 and compare the description of Andrew Solomon’s symptoms to the criteria for depressive disorders in the DSM-5. Next review the steps in diagnosis detailed in the Morrison (2014) reading pgs. (129-166), and then read the case provided by your instructor for this week’s Discussion (Case of Anastasia), considering the client against the various DSM-5 criteria for depressive disorders and bipolar disorders.By Day 3Post a 300- to 500-word response in which you address the following: (PLEASE LIST DIAGNOSIS FIRST BEFORE DISCUSSION)Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis for the client. For any diagnosis that you choose, be sure to concisely explain how the client fits that diagnostic criteria. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, medical needs, and the Z codes (other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention). Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months.Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.Recommend a specific evidence-based measurement instrument to validate the diagnosis and assess outcomes of treatment.Describe your treatment recommendations, including the type of treatment modality and whether or not you would refer the client to a medical provider for psychotropic medications.

Write an essay in which you assess the effectiveness of congress.

The 113th Congress (January 2013 to January 2015) ended with many comparing it to the historical “Do-Nothing Congress,” a Congress characterized by its perceived lack of productivity and resistance to many of President Harry Truman’s proposals. Now with the 114th Congress (January 2015 to January 2017) in full swing, and with some changes in party power (the Republican Party is now the majority in both houses), there is speculation that there will continue to be a decline in bills passed and tense relations between the presidency and Congress. Some even argue that Congress is broken. Do you agree? Is Congress broken? Write an essay in which you assess the effectiveness of Congress. Base your evaluation on at least two criteria associated with the responsibilities/powers of the institution (e.g. bills passed, representation of the people, government oversight, etc.). Important things to remember: Please do not use a font size larger than 12. Double-spaced. Correctly cite your sources. Consistent use of one format is expected. You may use the MLA citation style. Be careful to use appropriate academic sources. For instance, a blog or Wikipedia is NOT an appropriate source for this assignment. Books, academic journals, and newspapers are appropriate. You may also reference government websites and polling data. Do not use the course textbook as one of your academic sources. Please seek other outside sources.

Write a 3- to 4-page paper providing a summary and analysis of the interview and the health care reform issues you discussed.

You must know the health care reform very well. I have a 3 – 4-page paper based on an interview with a political leader. Some creativity is needed. I am looking for someone that really understands the health care reform what is working and what has not worked. I need to do this without an interview. I thought I would use a perspective ofDarrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee, Application Assignment 1: Issues in Health Care Reform (Interview) According to the AACN (2006), ” Political activism and commitment to policy development are central elements of professional nursing practice” (p. 13). Throughout this course, you will hone the skills and competencies required for this type of involvement in policy.Research is an essential step in the process of acquiring the skills and competencies, and interviews are one form of research that can serve as a valuable source of information.
