High School English2. “I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion” declares Henry David Thoreau in his essay Civil
Disobedience. The statement captures not only Transcendentalist values but also the spirit of independence that fueled
the colonists and became a deeply ingrained part of American culture. Explore the implications of these instilled values.
How does this mindset work in practice rather than in theory? Using at least one piece of early or modern American
poetry, prose, or fiction, consider what happens when characters or individuals follow this advice. Does going against
the grain in this way turn out to be worthwhile? Are there additional factors about who that person/character is or
who/what they are rebelling against that further complicate following this recommendation or the success he/she is
met with?Though your research paper may use the quotes provided, it need not do so. However, your paper must include at
least one text from the list below and at least 3 additional valid scholarly sources. Your paper must be 4 pages in

Describe one key event from the 1850s that escalated tensions between the North and the South and support why you believe this led to the regional hostility. Use examples from the text to support your response.
In responding to your classmates, pick two who identified a key event different from the one you chose and discuss how the events were related to each other.

Peer 1
One of the key events that escalated tensions between the North and the South was the Kansas-Nebraska Act. It caused a rift and caused a lot of anger for the Northerners because of the power the South was gaining with the undoing of the Missouri Compromise. According to our text the North lost badly in the congressional elections, making the priorities of slaveholder’s number one. This caused major conflict between the Northerners and Southerners, as well as problems with the Federal government. Have a good week.

PEER 2
After reading Chapter 12, I believe that the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 caused a large amount of tension in the North as well as the South. There was a surge in the abolitionist movement in the North and many Northerners did not think that the government should be forcing them to help capture runaway slaves. This was the biggest difference between the 1850 act and the ones before it. The average citizen was forced to assist government agents in recovering runaway slaves. On the other hand, Southerners were complaining that the Northerners were not following the previous Slave Acts with no repercussions, and they were likely not to start now. As the abolitionists’ movement continued to grow in the North, elections were starting to sway in favor of those that were against slavery and Southerners were growing more angry and fearful that they would lose their “property.” In the bigger picture, this was only one of many reasons for the South leaving the Union.

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation to help me understand better.

Instructions:Choose one (1) clinical scenario below, and answer the following questions:What is evidence-based nursing practice and why is it important?What is the PICO process?Formulate a well defined clinical question that will yield the most relevant and best evidence.Describe the background of the questionPresent the question using PICOT formatIndicate what will be the best study to answer the clinical question.Scenarios:#1 A nurse in the PACU is interested in ways to decrease the use of pain medication in post-op patients. She’s wondering if classical music or guided imagery might be efficacious.#2 A 17-year-old African American woman, just diagnosed with hepatitis B, has been taking acetaminophen for headaches. Her mother has heard that acetaminophen can cause liver problems, and she asks you if her daughter should continue taking the drug for her headaches, considering her hep-b diagnosis.#3 You are on a hospital committee exploring best practices in inpatient oncology nursing. The first question to come before the committee is, “how can we improve patients’ sleep quality and quantity without resorting to sleep medication?” The committee decides to explore relaxation techniques (e.g., massage; music), noise reduction, bed/pillow comfort, and ambient temperature changes. Your assignment is to find the best practices to reduce noise levels on the unit.#4 A 53-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis wants to possibly change her medication to short-term low-dose corticosteroids instead of NSAIDS, which are upsetting her stomach. Will the corticosteroids be as effective?#5 Jeff, a smoker of more than 30 years, has tried to quit unsuccessfully in the past. A friend of his recently quit with acupuncture. He wonders if he should try it.

Task 1:
For this discussion, you will conduct informal research using a sample of 5-6 of your friends or colleagues focused on how COVID-19 has impacted their travel and/or other hospitality plans, discuss your results, and evaluate if they are consistent with the outlook for the industry.  Please focus on how their attitudes may have recently changed due to new guidelines, the vaccine rollout, etc.  Overall, are they wholly optimistic, cautiously optimistic, or somewhat cautious?

Develop your own brief survey of 5 questions that you will ask and provide the questions in the discussion post.

Some things to consider might include: 

How likely are you to plan travel or a vacation for the coming months?  Has new guidlelines and the vaccine roll out influenced your decisions?
What is your level of comfort in terms of personal safety in planning a trip given the current conditions?
What sort of re-booking or financial guarantee would be needed for you to plan a trip given the current conditions?
To what extent do you think your personal outlook on travel will be changed in the long term, as a result of the pandemic?

          2.  Discuss your results
          3.  In conclusion, do you think your results are consistent with the overall industry outlook?  Why or why not?
Discussion Expectation: 
I am living in U.S, therefore, please stand the perspective in U.S to answer the question.
Length:  It is expected that your discussion post will be approximately 750 words in length
Research:  your discussion post is expected to contain at least 3 cited sources (these may include materials provided in the reading). Please be sure to use in-text citations and give the APA citations for your references at the end of your posts.
Task 2: Response two classmates’ post, that should be approximately 250 words in length each. 

This module you are going to explore Erikson’s stages throughout the life of a person. To do this, choose a person that you can interview who is over the age of 65. During this interview you are going to ask them about their experiences at each of Erikson’s eight stages of psychosocial development. Prior to the interview, you should write a set of questions that will clearly help you to determine the outcome of Erikson’s crisis at each stage of their life. 
Upon completion, you should complete the attached chart and write a 300- to 500-word reflection covering the following points:

How evident was Erikson’s stages in the interviewee’s life?
Based on your interview, did you find support for Erikson’s theory of development?
What were some of the key events from a psychosocial perspective that have influenced the personality development of your interviewee?
After reading about Erikson’s stages in your text as well as the insights you gained from your interview, what recommendations would you make to parents to help their child successfully develop from a psychosocial perspective?

Directions for completing the chart:

Column 3: Summary of the conflict. Here you will define both possible outcomes at each stage. For example, how are trust and mistrust defined in Erikson’s first stage?
Column 4: Outcome of the conflict. Based on what you heard from the interviewee, what was their outcome for each stage? For example, did they move out of the first stage in a state of trust or mistrust? Here you will simply list trust or mistrust in the column, and so on.
Column 5: Evidence of outcome. Here you will support the conclusion you drew in Column 4 with evidence form the person’s life gained from the interview. For example, what information did you receive from the interviewee that led you to choose the outcome of trust in Column 4?
