Social Media Use In The Hiring Process
An ethic of non-discrimination must permeate the hiring process.  Develop a social media protocol for Company X to use in the hiring process.  Be sure to examine the state law of the state, (NORTH CAROLINA) in which you reside to determine whether statutes have been enacted to guide employers in the use of social media.  Provide citations for statutes identified.  Based upon your findings, draft a social media policy for your company.  Prepare training materials that you will use to present to company management on the new policy.
The social media policy should be 500 words in length.
This is a regular word document APA format. Include citations to at least 2 legal authorities that support the policy you drafted.

Write a 750-1,000 word paper analyzing Woterstorff’s reflctions in Lament For a Son. In addition, address Kubler-Ross’ five stages of grief, as they are expressed throughout Lament for a Son, and respond to the following questions:

1. How does Wolterstorff find joy after his loss?
2. What is the meaning and significance of death in light of the Christian narrative?
3. How does the hope of the resurrection play a role in comforting Wolterstorff?

Include three sources including the textbooks, bible and other reliable/academic sources.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Please read these directions and the “Art 100 Museum Paper Grading Rubric” (attached above) before visiting your museum of choice.

• Attached Visual Record: 5 points

Take a photo in front of the museum’s sign or other identifying marker; a scanned copy of a brochure, postcard front and back, or a ticket stub from the museum will also earn full credit.

• Format/Style: 10 points

Paper must be typed, double spaced, at least 3-4 pages in length, include a heading with name, date submitted and the course name and number (Intro to Art/ART 100).

• Grammar, spelling and sentence structure must be checked and not impede comprehension.

Titles of art works must be italicized or underlined (not in quotation marks!).

Sources must be cited properly, if used.

Content/body:

• Introduction: 10 points
• Include name of museum and date of visit.
• Identify a commonality or theme between the works (this could be a similar medium, subject matter, art period/movement, color or other formal element, etc.).
• THREE WORKS: 90 points (30 points per work-complete these steps for EACH work you include in your paper):
• Identify artist, title (in italics!), date of work and medium.
• Describe the content and/or subject matter (describe what you see when you look at the work).

  ( For example: ” Agnolo Bronzino’s Eleanor of Toledo from 1544 is an oil on wood portrait of a mother seated with her young son standing on her right side. The mother is wearing an elaborate dress with black and gold details. The child has blond hair and is wearing a dark blue jacket and is smiling slightly.)

• Identify a style or movement the work is associated with;  use your Preble’s textbook to place the work in its style category. Explain how it fits into this particular art movement.

  ( For example: ” Eleanor of Toledo was completed during the beginning of the Mannerist art movement, which took place in Italy beginning in the 1520s. This painting is characteristically Mannerist because the figures in the painting have exaggerated and elongated proportions-especially fingers-and are painted with rich colors used to imply texture.”)

• Identify 2-3 formal elements (define each formal element using your textbook; identify each formal element in the art work).

  ( For example: “The dress depicted in Bronzino’s Eleanor of Toledo demonstrates the artist’s use of texture. Texture is the perceived surface quality of an object. In the painting the fabric of the mother’s dress appears to be silk with velvet details and shiny pearl and gold beads…”)

• Conclusion: 15 points
• Give your personal reaction to the three works you chose (what you liked/did not like).
• Describe how this assignment expanded your appreciation of art.

Research major differences between public criminal investigations and private security investigations.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper identifying the major differences between public criminal investigations and investigators and their private security counterparts. Include the following in your comparison:

  • Identify sources of information, both unique and common, to each sector.
  • Explain scientific methods used by both sectors to investigate crimes.
• Identify challenges or potential issues of investigations that cross jurisdictions.
• Provide an example of an actual case that highlights aspects of both security and criminal investigations based on your comparison.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

You are advising the stakeholders of a small firm that is one of a handful of manufacturers of disposable contact lenses, wetting solution, and other products related to eye care. The stakeholders are wrestling with a proposal to implement a price increase for some, all, or a large number of their products. They all agree that doing so can help offset recent cost increases the firm has experienced, but there the agreement ends.

Some favor a small price increase for products across the board, noting that, from the standpoint of the market, demand for healthcare products is relatively inelastic. Others believe that strategy could backfire, hurting more than helping. Instead, they argue, there are a number of factors to consider—the strength of the economy, their competition, trends in the market for specific types of products, and so on. They believe, therefore, products or types of products should be considered on a case-by-case basis: while a price increase for one product might yield positive results, a price increase for another might wipe out any gain achieved by the first.

What would you say to these stakeholders? Formulate your advice, drawing on course readings, other scholarly sources, and the concept of healthcare price elasticity. Be sure to explain and support your advice by citing sources and providing examples.

CDHPs

 

A new type of third-party-reimbursement healthcare payment plan is emerging in the United States. CDHPs strive to control costs and improve quality of care by requiring consumers to take control of their own healthcare decisions. Consumers decide how they want to spend their healthcare dollars, depending on what is important to them. CDHPs are geared to encourage participants to enroll in some type of wellness program and improve their lifestyles. Specific types of CDHPs are health reimbursement accounts (HRA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and health savings accounts (HSA).

However, there are concerns about CDHPs. The consumer may neither understand nor have the education and the tools to manage his or her own healthcare appropriately. This may have long-term ramifications on the whole healthcare system and whether CDHPs can be successful for the consumer, the employer, the physician, and the healthcare facilities, as well as the insurers. Answer the following questions in regard to this development:

• Are CDHPs more geared toward the healthier and younger population?
• Are they effective for patients with chronic illnesses?
• Will they discourage the use of preventative care and cause increased healthcare costs in the future?

After examining the above questions in your analysis, work around the following instructions and create a 8- to 10-page Microsft Word document:

• Summarize the history of when, how, and why CDHPs were developed.
• Explain HSA, HRA, and FSA with examples.
• Examine different segments of the population. Describe which socioeconomic group is likely to benefit the most from CDHPs.
• Explain the types of incentives to providers for efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services. Explain who bears the financial risk—the provider, the patient, or the CDHP.
• Offer your recommendations for patients considering a CDHP, including which types are appropriate for which patients. Include your recommendations for each, to accept or decline, and also include your rationale behind such recommendations.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.
