IntroductionIn this assignment, you will evaluate the condition of a specific healthcare market on the basis of the competition present. This will require that you research two healthcare organizations in a similar geographic location and either conduct a SWOT analysis or use Porter’s five forces model.You will have the flexibility to select any two healthcare organizations (which offer similar services) that serve the same geographic location.For example, you may be interested to research two skilled nursing facilities (a type of service) in Minneapolis, Minnesota (location). In this example, you would need to research two existing skilled nursing facilities in Minneapolis and complete an assessment tool for each.TasksSelect a type of healthcare service (acute care, rural health clinic, long-term care, home healthcare, etc.) and a location (city/state) that interests you.Provide an overview of the two healthcare organizations and location you selected.Either conduct a SWOT analysis or use Porter’s Five Forces model for each of your selected healthcare organizations.On the basis of your findings, recommend which of the two organizations you identified has the competitive advantage in the specific geographic location you selected.

The theme of one of our texts is God’s generosity to us in creation, the giving of the Son and Spirit, salvation, etc. The goal of your paper is to display God’s generosity through Spirit-motivated generosity. Therefore, you will do the following:

Spend time praying about how you might be generous — with your time, money, energies, and/or gifts — towards someone in need. Ask the Lord how you might display his kind of abundant generosity to others in a way that would display his goodness. Ask the Lord to stretch you out of your comfort zone. This may be an ongoing or a one-time (or anything in between) display of generosity.
Implement whatever it is you believe the Lord placed on your heart.
Write a 4-5 page report detailing (1) what you did, (2) in what specific ways you think it reflected God’s generosity (e.g., “God takes initiative in these ways, so I took initiative in these ways”), (3) how the recipients responded, and (4) what you learned/gained from doing the project.

The hope is that when we, in practice, reflect God’s character, we experience him in fresh ways as a result. May that be the case for us. Grades will be based primarily on the thoughtfulness of the project itself and the resulting reflections. 

Open this Outline Template for Research Argument Essay Download Outline Template for Research Argument Essayand use it as a template to create your sentence outline for your research paper on fracking OR offshore drilling. (Remove direction sentences as you complete your sentence outline.)
Review the thesis statement you created for the Annotated Bibliography assignment. Refine your thesis statement as needed.  Make sure it includes your topic, a clear key argument (claim) and 2-4 focused main ideas that prove the argument.
Using your thesis create a topic sentence for each main idea in your thesis. This creates unity (Links to an external site.) in your outline.
Once you have unity between your thesis and topic sentences, develop each topic sentence idea using adequate supporting evidence from your research and explanation/analysis from your own thinking. Make sure your quotes are integrated as modeled in the quote sandwich (Links to an external site.).
Remember, if you have a great deal to say about one main idea in your thesis, you might consider developing more than one paragraph for this main idea when you write your essay.  So pay attention to the amount of evidence you have for each main idea as you develop your outline.

Please read the readings and choose one of the following questions and react to it briefly.
1. Simple question with potentially difficult implications for American democracy:  Are American voters informed enough to select their representatives and hold them accountable for their actions in office?  Why or why not?
2. Over the past several decades, some states have introduced policies that make it easier to vote (e.g. mail-in ballots), whereas others have implemented restrictions (e.g. requiring photo ID to vote). In general, which type of policies do you support? Why?
3. Twenty-seven US states, including California, have some form of direct democracy, where citizens vote directly on policy. There are many proponents and critics of this process; do you think it is beneficial or harmful to allow citizens to vote directly on policy, rather than their views being represented by elected officials?
4. With  a record $14.4 billion spent in the 2020 federal elections, many often decry the large amount of money spent in American electoral campaigns. Do you believe this is a problem? Why or why not? What could be done about it, if so
