Summarize how businesses and investors can use hedging to manage exposure.

Risk is an inevitable part of financial management especially when exchanging money with international economies. In order to reduce risk, financial managers use hedging strategies to offset exposure to price risk. Think about the various hedging strategies that are employed in the foreign exchange markets including the forward market hedge, the money market hedge, and the options market hedge.

With these thoughts in mind, address the following:

  • Summarize how businesses and investors can use hedging to manage exposure.
  • Is it cost effective for most multinational corporations to hedge their foreign currency risk? Why or why not? Support your response with this week’s Learning Resources.

Week 7

1.  Taleb asserts, “Black swan logic makes  what you don’t know far more relevant than what you do know.”   Holmes observes, “the illusion of knowing is more dangerous than not knowing” (p128).  This places what we do know at the bottom of the hierarchy.  Discuss how the “illusion of knowing” led to the 2008 financial crisis.

2.  The 2008 financial crisis was “socially complex.”  Individuals, financial and mortgage institutions, and governments contributed to the crisis.  And, many of the same players collaborated to resolve the crisis.  Was the 2008 financial crisis a “wicked problem” as well?  Discuss which characteristics of a “wicked problem,” if any, apply to the crisis.

How does the system that the manager uses drive the decision making within the institution?

This short paper will explore the benefits of having technologies/systems in place to provide more in-depth information that will help drive decision making.

The information that is gathered every day in healthcare drives patient care and the improvement of the quality of care. Each staff member within a healthcare institution has a role in improving patient care. In this short paper, complete the following:

1. Choose one of the following managers:

 Director of Admissions

 Manager of Billing

 Director of Nursing

 Manager of Purchasing

 Chief of Medicine

2. Considering what you have learned about these types of managers thus far and doing additional researching as necessary, answer the following:

 How might the manager for whichever department you chose above use technology/systems to improve patient care? To minimize costs and maximize efficiency? If you are having trouble, think generally here about how technology improves record keeping, and then consider the type of data these managers and directors have to manage.

 How does the system that the manager uses drive the decision making within the institution?

Support your answer with relevant sources.

Guidelines for Submission: The short paper should be submitted as a Word document and should be a minimum of 2 pages in length. All sources should be cited using APA style.

Does the character have privilege and in what circumstances? Provide specific examples from their dialogue or actions.
Instructions  
Throughout this course, we have examined a variety of different dimensions of diversity, how diversity is represented, what role intersectionality and privilege play in creating and maintaining bias and discrimination, and how we learn our “single stories” about diversity. This final project in the course will require you to bring all of these ideas together as you analyze representations of diversity in the media.

On the Week 2 Assignment, you identified a fiction book, TV episode, or movie that you have recently read or watched and did an initial analysis of the representations of diversity in it. On the Week 4 Assignment, you identified two scholarly sources to help you extend your analysis of the work you chose. In this assignment, you will build on those two assignments to complete your analysis of diverse representations in your chosen work.

For this assignment, you will take as your starting point the conclusion you came to on your Week 2 assignment: does this work provide a positive representation of diversity? You can maintain the position you took at the end of your Week 2 assignment or contradict it. You will then provide evidence from the work and from  at least 5 scholarly or credible resources, including the two scholarly sources you identified on your Week 4 assignment (the remainder can be course materials) to support your thesis. Please be sure to do the following:

1. Provide an introduction that includes the author and title of the fiction book, name of episode and name of TV show, or the title of the movie that you chose, as well as a thesis that tells the reader whether you think this work provides a positive representation of diversity.

2. Include a brief (at least 250 words) summary of the book, episode, or movie.

3. Discuss whether you think the cast of characters in this book, episode, or movie is diverse. To back up your discussion, identify 3 characters from the work and do the following for each:

a. Provide a brief (1-paragraph) description of the character, including what they do for a living, relationship status, role in the work (main character, minor character, comic relief, etc.), and anything else you think is important in understanding the character.

b. Is the portrayal of the character stereotypical? Why or why not? Provide specific examples from their dialogue or actions.

c. Does the character have privilege and in what circumstances? Provide specific examples from their dialogue or actions.

d. Is this a positive representation of the group(s) that the character represents? Why or why not? Provide specific examples from their dialogue or actions.

4. Taking a step back, consider who  isn’t represented in this work. Do you think this/these groups were left out intentionally? In other words, would it affect the story to include them?

5. Finally, consider why representation of diverse groups is important. Draw on your resources to construct an argument for greater inclusion. Does this argument extend to other areas of life (such as in the workplace, in schools, etc.) beyond fictional representation? Why or why not?

6. In your conclusion, reiterate your thesis statement and summarize the main points of your paper.
Will it expand service or improve quality? Is it a patient safety issue?

At what age is it appropriate for children to have cell phones?

Use of the internet and cell phones by teenagers in today’s society can be a source of concern. Moreover, many children now begin using communication technology in infancy.

Post your responses to the following:

· What components of communication technology use among teenagers concern you? Should parents control what their teenager sees or does? To what extent should a parent or family member control the communication technology usage of a teenager?

· At what age is it appropriate for children to have cell phones? How could a parent or family member monitor a child’s communication technology behaviors without becoming the “mean,” “controlling,” or “horrible” person the child might perceive them to be?
