In this assignment, you will apply course concepts to the analysis of a real-world case study, Internet Development, CCS, and Customers. You will examine the challenges faced by Trent McGuire, a manager in communication & customer services at a large mutual fund company, whose department is not communicating with the Internet Development department which created serious customer service issues.
The failure of the two departments to communicate has led to numerous issues: the company has become reactive to customer response rather than proactive, and customer satisfaction has gone down. The conflict between them* has caused morale to dip at the company to the point where coworkers in other departments mock the situation.
In order to bring about organizational change, the dysfunctional interdepartmental communication at this mutual fund company should be addressed.
Your analysis should address the following questions:

What can McGuire do to facilitate effective communication between his department and the Internet development team?
How do systems theories, cultural theories, and critical theories of organization and communication relate to this case and its key players?
Does it matter if “the grapevine” (people not directly involved that circulate rumors and/or false information) is making fun of these two departments within Internet services?
Should top management be involved? Why or why not?

*The case study references a conflict between the Hatfields and Mccoys who were two rival American families with a bitter feud that fought and killed each other during and after the American Civil War. Their hatred of each other has become a piece of American lore.
This assignment requires you to apply the concepts introduced in course readings (i.e. the Zaremba textbook and assigned readings) to support your analysis. You must use a minimum of three direct in-text references (although you will likely use more) in your analysis, and you must use APA 7th citation in your essay.  You must also include a references page at the end of the essay that follows APA formatting.
You must use a thesis statement to guide your essay. You must also use the provided rhetorical form to structure the essay. Guidelines on both are found below.
Gather your evidence in order to support your thesis. 

Read the case three times.

First reading: Identify key facts, issues, themes, and role-players.
Second reading: Highlight and annotate text that discusses problems within the company and between the two departments.
Third reading: Highlight and annotate text that discusses the various negative effects the lack of communication between departments has had on the communications department’s ability to address customer concerns.

Write a thesis statement.

I have gone and provided some statistics and feedback for your analysis. That Assessment Tool part was done well overall and shows that your group clearly spent A LOT OF TIME gathering the information; I don’t even know how you found some of it for your community but there was no county or even state data to compare with; which is part of the assignment but I would take either state or county as much of this as you could locate anyway (you will see what I included as feedback)The part that I think needs additional clarification or most important to revise for the points; however, are Section 8 (30-40 pts) & Section 9 (60-90 pts) (not done per assignment guidelines) as there are no community nursing diagnoses written as nursing diagnoses?) and I am having difficulty identifying exactly what your priority problems for your community are that CAN BE ADDRESSED BY THE community health nurse.Your paper discusses homelessness and poverty (though your community has a very high annual income) but regardless homelessness and poverty are not changeable factors that the community health nurse can address so I am having trouble identifying what you feel are the priority health problems to be addressed by the community health nurse for your community of Miami Lakes? Your paper mentions lung cancer, obesity, alcoholism and inadequate nutrition as problems experienced by the homeless and those living in poverty (which needs a reference to support this claim). Are these the specific 6-8 priority health needs of your community? I just need them listed out clearly. There is in Section 9 there is mention of children, adults and older adults but I am not sure what this means? You have the information in this paper somewhere; but some of this information needs to be supported with literature or with specific info from your findings (I provide some examples).For instance, the paper mentions Diabetes as a health problem affecting people over the age of 50 years (also needs literature to support) but the majority of your population in Miami Lakes is under the age of 50? So the priority problems should reflect the data or be supported by your data for your community so is Diabetes a priority health concern for your community? Children are mentioned but I don’t know in what way this is significant? Adults and older adults are also discussed but I am not sure how this relates to the priority health problems and how these are community nursing diagnoses?Regardless I am almost done with going through and adding my feedback. The Identification of Priority Health Problems/Needs (30-40 pts) needs to be specifically spelled out as something that the community health nurse can address and again laid out as outlined in the assignment instructionsYour paper includes a Section 9 but (worth 60-90 pts) but this was to he specifically written as 6-8 community nursing diagnoses which are not included in the groups paper submission. These were to be based off your priority identified priority needs. I feel you have the information in the data you have collected it is a matter of organizing it to identify priority community needs/problems and then writing the community nursing diagnoses. The last section needs to be written as Community Nursing Diagnoses which if not means you would miss out on 60-90 points in the assignment (which is a lot of points).

I’m working on a art writing question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.

There are two-part to this questionPart 11.We’ve seen many representations of the ‘floating world’ from the perspective of male artists. Below is a painting by Katsushika Oi, the daughter of Hokusai (who painted the famous Great Wave Off Kanagawa). Analyze the painting and consider how it compares to works we have seen previously from the textbook and lecture that represent similar subject matter. Consider the choices she made in composing this work and what these choices convey. Do you think it is relevant that Oi was a woman? Does she present a different perspective on the floating world from her male contemporaries?(at least 250 words; 10 points)Katsushika Oi, Yoshiwara at Night, Edo period, c. 1850s, hanging scroll, ink and color on paper (103⁄8 × 153⁄4″)2.Read through your classmates’ responses and engage with at least one of them. Is there anything you feel that they missed? Are there ways you could have improved your own response based on reading others’?(5 points)Classmate’s postIn the painting Yoshiwara At Night by Katasushika Oi, women are seen inside wooden bars surrounded by shadowy figures on the outside of these bars. The perspective of this painting is from the outside of these bars facing in so that the viewer can see the women and not the faces, only thee figures, of the people, most likely men, staring into the wooden bars. Like other Ukiyo-e paintings, the women are seen with white faces and extravagant clothing, which was the beauty standard of this time. Compared to other Japanese paintings, this one is seen as very dark and shadowy. Even in other paintings that take place at night, they are lit up to be as bright as the day so the viewer to see every detail of the painting. However in this painting, Oi plays with shadows giving the painting a darker mood than other Japanese paintings allowing the viewers to make their own perception of the people staring at them from the outside. Oi follows the theme of using courtesans like other Ukiyo-e paintings. However in her painting, she shows the perspective of the women, not the men. The shadows and darkness helps to focus the viewer on the women and how this lifestyle has impacted them. In other Ukiyo-e paintings, the women are shown as beautiful, sensuous, and posing for the painter. The perspective that Oi presents is very different from male paintings of courtesans because she shows how they struggle and feel when men gawk at them while the men painters only capture their beauty and not the true emotion of their subject.Part 2This installation by Yanagi Yukinori was introduced in the lecture and covered in your textbook. Yanagi Yukinori, Hinomaru Illumination (Amaterasu and Haniwa), 1993, neon, neon transformer, programming circuit, painted steel, and haniwa figures (each haniwa figure approximately 39″ high)Like the Korean artist Pak Nam June, Yanagi Yukinori’s work is based on a juxtaposition between traditional and modern elements. However, Yanagi’s installation engages more specifically with Japan’s past and present. What do you think is the purpose of this juxtaposition? Consider the historical context of 20th century Japan with its many upheavals and how this may have caused the artist to reflect upon Japan’s relationship with its past.

Rationing of health care resources? Conflicting views regarding end-of-life care? What could have been done to avoid this? What about privacy? Are there any federal laws which are relevant to this patient’s care? Is the ACHE Code of Ethics helpful?

There is an 85 year old, female, Hispanic patient in the adult intensive care unit. The admitting diagnosis for the patient is “stroke.” Prior to admission the patient had a history of heart and pulmonary problems, and lung cancer (successfully treated by surgery and radiation 10 years ago). Tests conducted since admission have discovered early stage liver cancer. The patient has been in a comatose state ever since admission, unable to communicate or move. Since Patient is unable to breathe on her own, she is also on a ventilator.The patient was admitted 15 days ago, she is without insurance and has no proof of citizenship. The hospital business office wants to know if she can be discharged from AICU which costs the hospital $9,000 per day, or if the family will agree to disconnect the ventilator. The attending physician is new on the medical staff and is unsure of the patient’s prognosis. The AICU is full so the discharge planner is under pressure from his supervisor to free up the bed, which is needed for other critical patients.The patient’s family has been adamant that God will perform a miracle and the patient will walk out of the hospital. They are strongly against withdrawal of any life support or of reducing any standard of care. Patient’s children are all adults, natural born citizens of the U.S. who own a successful well-known local business.A local TV station has been ‘covering the story’ although they have not publicly disclosed the patient’s name. The state governor has come out publicly stating that illegal aliens are a drain on our state’s resources and should be sent back to their countries of origin. The governor’s challenger (whose daughter is a nursing student in AICU) says there is a moral duty to care for everyone.You are scheduled to meet with the hospital ethics committee tomorrow. After the meeting you, the physician, and the AICU chaplain are to meet with the patient’s family regarding the patient’s course of care.How will you prepare for the upcoming meeting with the hospital ethics committee? What issues do you expect will come up during that meeting? What will you say to the patient’s family?
