compose a two-page essay discussing the impact of the new world of digital communication on community-building in America.

Robert Putnam, in his book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, uses the example of the decline of bowling leagues across the country to suggest the passing of community and associations in the United States. Traditionally these associations provided the “social capital”* upon which society was built.

Has social media exacerbated this loss of community and neighborhood associations or has it enhanced community building? Many argue that electronic communication lacks the tactile and personal nature of face to face contact necessary for true communities. Others respond that online communication permits a much broader understanding of community, with connection across a heretofore impossible expanse of culture and geography.

Using real-world examples, please compose a two-page essay discussing the impact of the new world of digital communication on community-building in America.

Your essay should use MLA formatting and demonstrate college-level grammar, spelling and vocabulary.

*Social capital: A network of personal relationships that provide social glue

Submit both your Word and Excel files.

Problem Two
Ted Short, manager of procurement at the Lake Luna Medical Center (LLMC), is starting a process to examine at the general process that is followed at his center for procurement of medical supplies at his facility. His first step is to develop a flowchart for the current process that employees at his center follow. He has asked you to draw that flowchart for him and make any obvious changes to shorten the process.Here are the key steps that are followed:

The LLMC employee fills out a paper requisition and sends that to his department head for approval.
The department secretary first examines the requisition to see if all needed information is present. If it is, then she sends to the department head for approval. If not, she returns to the employee for any needed corrections. The employee then returns the requisition to the department secretary for review again.
Requisitions with the correct information are sent to the department head.
The department head reviews the item to determine if the material requested seems appropriate. He may contact his employee to discuss any questions he might have.
If he feels it is inappropriate, then he rejects the request and sends it back to the employee.
If he feels it is appropriate, then he checks the budget to see if there are sufficient monies in the budget to pay for this. If there are not, then he rejects the request and sends it back to the employee. If there are sufficient funds, then he approves them.
If the requisition is approved, then the department secretary sends the requisition to a member of the LLMC Procurement Team.
The LLMC procurement specialist checks to see if the suggested vendor on the requisition is on the approved vendor list (AVL).
If not, he sends the request back to the department secretary and the process starts all over if the LLMC employee wants to continue to pursue it. If the employee does not, then the requisition is terminated.
If the vendor is on the AVL, the LLMC procurement specialist checks to see if a quote is required, either based on the type of equipment and material required or on the amount of the purchase.
If no quote is required, the procurement specialist transmits the PO to the vendor for execution.
If a quote is required, then the specialist contacts the vendor and asks for a quote. If the quote is satisfactory based on past purchases of such items, the specialist approves the quote and places the order.
If the quote is too high, the specialist contacts the LLMC employee and asks for another vendor to check. The procurement specialist then checks the second vendor. Usually, a procurement specialist will have to check only two vendors at most.
If the specialist cannot find a vendor with it suitable price after two tries, then the PO is cancelled.
When the specialist finds a vendor who submits a suitable quote, the transmits the PO to the vendor for execution by US postal service or by telephone.
The procurement specialist then logs the transaction into the financial system.
The procurement specialist then forwards the request to the Accounts Payable Department for payment when the receipt of the materials and equipment ordered, if acknowledged.

Identify two possible explanations that might account for the increase in female correctional population.

you must first respond to the following questions. At a minimum, your response should answer all components of each question and should be close to a single page response (i.e., 400 words).

Over the past decade, the United States correctional system has seen a consistent and steady decline in jail and prison incarceration rates. However, despite an overall decline, females represent the fastest-growing correctional population. Identify two possible explanations that might account for the increase in female correctional population.
Prisoner reentry has emerged as a major concern in recent years. Accordingly, many states have developed reentry programming. First, identify the primary goal of reentry programming. Second, describe how a program might be organized to achieve the stated goal while also taking into consideration responsivity factors (e.g., sex/gender) as applied to this week’s readings. This can be both in-prison and post-release correctional programs/interventions.
Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) are considered a “special population” in the corrections system. Why has the proportion of the correctional population with SMI grown during the era of mass incarceration? What administrative and management challenges are posed by this group within prisons? What are some negative consequences that may result from the incarceration of offenders with SMI?

What are the major revenue sources and major expenditures?

Instructions

Students are to utilize the same local or state government from Short Paper #1 to analyze that government’s revenues and expenditures.

Students should prepare a 5-page policy memo addressed to the head of that government (i.e., mayor, commission chair, or governor) that describes the following about the local or state:

Types of Funds
Overview of General Fund Budget Over 3 Years (Actual, Budget, Proposed)
Response to the following questions:
What are the major revenue sources and major expenditures?
Is the budget balanced? Why or Why not?
Fully explain if and how the expenditures align with the fiscal goals and objectives?

See this visual example of a business memo. When you are discussing the above areas, you must provide context for each category to ensure understanding about the issue (using historical information, data, current status, options for moving forward and explaining the challenges and opportunities/benefits for each option). Just because you are writing the memo to the executive, does not mean the executive is fully aware of all the details as you are. So … fully explain.

When you choose your level of government, you can go to that government’s website and seek information regarding the structure, budget, goals, strategic plan, and other information that will benefit this assignment. For example, if a student chooses Lee County, GA. You can go to Lee County’s government website and see some of this information. The information may not be on one or two webpages, so you should be diligent and seek this information out.

Ensure to use in-text citations and have a reference page.
