Describe key signs and symptoms that were consistent with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) versus a non-STI related infection.

 Reflect on a patient who presented with a vaginal discharge during your Practicum Experience. Describe key signs and symptoms that were consistent with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) versus a non-STI related infection. If you diagnosed the patient with an STI, describe your experience in telling the patient that she had an STI, as well as the patient’s reaction to the diagnosis. Explain how the diagnosis might impact the patient’s life short-term and long-term. Include an explanation of the patient’s medical history, drug therapy and treatments, and follow-up care. If you did not have an opportunity to evaluate a patient with this background during the last four weeks, you may select a related case study from a reputable source or reflect on previous clinical experiences.

Write an essay in which you, as a person who has experienced both your own and American culture, critically evaluate the extent to which O’Connor’s and Rice-Oxley’s impression about the pervasive American influence on world culture holds true in your country.

Write an essay in which you, as a person who has experienced both your own and American culture, critically evaluate the extent to which O’Connor’s and Rice-Oxley’s impression about the pervasive American influence on world culture holds true in your country. (The two authors say that the whole world has been influenced by Americanculture. Is it true in your country? Why?) Then, discuss the impact of such Americanization in your country. (As a result of consuming American cultural products, do people in your country experience some positive and/or negative effects? What are they?)If you left your country long ago, try to recall your impression on your latest visit home.If you haven’t visited your country recently, interview those who have.In order to accomplish this task, you need to decide on a few specific aspects of American culture because it is not possible to discuss many aspects effectively and persuasively in the limited space of this essay. You could focus on food (e.g., McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, TGIF, Starbucks), or on commercial products (e.g., clothes, shoes, bags, phones, computers), or on entertainment (e.g., movies, TV shows, music, video games), or on how American English has been imported into your language(s).You should cite at least six sources (four sources from the textbook and two from outside sources—international sources are accepted). Write about China. 

How did the growth of big business impact the American dream?

Reflection Paper Being new to a place is challenging. The list below includes some provocative discussions related to the events in this unit’s reading and related to being new to the United States. For this assignment, you will write two reflections on Parts 1 and 2 below. The total length of your journal assignment must be a minimum of three pages in length, with each journal entry being at least one page. (For example, this means that you could have one reflection be one page and the other be two pages, each could be one and a half pages, or some other means by which each is at least one page in length and your total overall pages total three.) The reflections will need to reflect your understanding of the time period and need to avoid being anachronistic. (Remember that this term loosely means to apply today’s values or perspectives on the past.) To accomplish this, you will need to write both reflections as if you are a first generation immigrant (in the first person). Your first reflection entry needs to be from the viewpoint of an immigrant from Europe (e.g., Ireland, Italy, Germany, England, or France). Your second reflection entry needs to come from the standpoint of an immigrant from Asia (e.g., China or Japan). You will need to develop an argument within both reflections entries based on the bulleted items below. In your own words, justify academically the side of the argument you choose, remembering to cite your sources along the way. Part 1? Are you treated as an equal by earlier generations residing here?– What are others’ attitudes toward you? -Why do you think they act this way?? Would you feel pressured to pledge your loyalty to a political machine?? Would you agree to engage in a strike?? Talk about some leisure opportunities and how they are divided by race or class or are for everyone. Part 2 ? What is the “American dream?”? How did the growth of big business impact the American dream?? Explain which leisure opportunities could be part of the American dream.? What part did the anti-immigration sentiment play in the American dream? As this is a point of view essay, a modern perspective will not accurately address what the question is asking for. It is strongly suggested that you use at least one selection from the America: History and Life with Full Text database within the CSU Online Library. All sources used, including textbooks, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

Provide a paragraph summarizing the concept of stakeholder management based on your readings.

THE HISTORY OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND STAKEHOLDER THEORY IN AMERICA
Business Ethics and Stakeholder ManagementFor your SLP this session you will be asked to review articles on business ethics from the Trident Online Library. You will review one or more articles each in Modules 1 through 4 dealing with different ethical concepts.In this SLP we will be reviewing articles that cover the concept of stakeholder management. Stakeholders are important to consider in significant business related decisions. This is because organizational decisions – especially substantial decisions involving significant resource allocations/re-allocations – tend to impact various stakeholder groups as you will be reminded in your reading. These stakeholders may have the power to impact the organization’s success.Assignment Instructions:In this assignment you will be asked to apply stakeholder management theory to the following scenario:A public corporation of 980 employees manufactures a popular brand of garments (mostly jeans) that are primarily made and sold in America nation-wide. It has a large contingent of employees in several small rural communities in the Eastern US and is the primary employer in all of those communities. Two if its 5 shops are unionized but the union and management have a good working relationship. The company has traditionally marketed its clothing line as “Made in the USA” and attracted a bit of a “cult like” following as a result, but an outside consulting firm has suggested that significantly greater profits are possible if a different strategy is employed. The corporation is subsequently considering whether to off-shore its manufacturing facilities to a poor nation to save money on labor. It would also discretely discontinue its “Made in the USA” marketing ads and hopefully ride the wave of its previous marketing campaigns for a while. It is estimated that total cost per unit of production will be decreased by one third which equates to tens of millions of dollars.Please write a 3-page paper in which you respond to the following:   1. Provide a paragraph summarizing the concept of stakeholder management based on your readings. 2. How do you think the following stakeholder groups in the above scenario will be impacted?·        Employees/unions·        Communities·        Stockholders3. What would you recommend the employer described above should do?SLP Assignment ExpectationsYour 3 (or more) page paper should be double-spaced and in 12-point type.Your paper should have a separate cover page and if you are using any in-text citations then a separate reference page.Use APA style, and proofread your paper. Upload your paper by the end of the module.
