Design a graphic organizer (such as a chart or table) that identifies a minimum of three quality measurement/improvement tools. Describe how they are used for measuring quality by at least four professionals in a health care organization. You must include at least one administrative health professional, one midlevel provider, one physician, and one auxiliary staff member. This can be a chart or table

Utilitarians argue that consequences are the primary basis for evaluating the morality of actions, are certain actions inherently wrong, regardless of the consequences – cite examples or reasons for your response.

Research -using the library resources you have been introduced to and any other suitable sources- and write a ~ 1000 words essay about the engineering challenges your field of study is facing in the 21^st century. For example, assume that your concentration is Mechanical Engineering. Do a literature search and write about at least 3 engineering challenges facing the field of mechanical engineering in the 21^st century. Do the same if your concentration is chemical, civil or electrical engineering.

Your submitted work must include references of the sources you used to get information you are presenting.

 

The essay must be typed and double spaced.

Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion question, read Chapters 5 and 6 in American Government. In addition, read the following articles: “What Are the Arguments Made in Favor – and Against – the Electoral College?,” “GOP Leaders United in Defense of the Electoral College,” and the ProQuest article “Why the Electoral College is Bad for America.” Also, please watch this week’s videos,Episode I – A More Perfect Union and Episode II – It’s a Free Country regarding the U.S. Constitution.
	Reflect: As the textbook author asserts, the Framers intentionally designed a process for selecting presidents that would minimize the president’s political power – the Electoral College. They hoped this institution would insulate the chief executive from the public because they feared the power of presidents who might be elected by the people. However, the Electoral College has also spawned a long ongoing debate about whether the Electoral College should be abandoned in favor of new methods, which would ensure that the candidate elected has the most popular votes. The controversy over the Electoral College must be understood in order to better understand how and why U.S. presidents are elected.
	Write: In your initial post, summarize how the Electoral College works. Explain some of the main pros and cons in the debate about whether to keep or abolish the current Electoral College process. In addition, evaluate one proposal to change how the system works without formally abolishing it. Would this proposal effectively address some of the cons that you identified earlier in your post? Please explain your response.Fully respond to all parts of the question and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.   Discussion #2

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization of 185 member countries established to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and orderly exchange arrangements; to foster economic growth and high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance to countries to help ease balance of payments adjustment.

For this week’s discussion, you are to visit the IMF website (found on the Multimedia page) and explore the inter-workings of the organization and the areas they are working on and to choose a topic of interest to you and provide a “mini lecture and example” of 3-4 paragraphs for your classmates. Please do not copy directly from the website; you will need to research several sources for your post. Use your chosen topic as the subject line for your post. Do not worry if another classmate uses the same topic, your post and example will come from several sources so chances slim for repetition.

For your follow-up response, question or comment on one of your classmates topics.

Finding “factors for” and “factors against” a position is a versatile tool for critical thinkers. In this assignment, you will practice this technique more formally by examining one of several contemporary issues.

Using your readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research methods for creating arguments using factors for and factors against an issue.

Select a topic for use in this assignment. It is recommended that you choose a topic that is personally meaningful or interesting to you. Examples of topics can include, but are not limited to, the following: •Underage drinking: Lowering the legal drinking age in the United States. •Gun control: Increasing restrictions on the civilian possession of non-hunting guns. •Selective service: Enacting compulsory military service obligation for all US citizens. •Universal health care: Governmental provision of free health care for all citizens.

For the selected topic, complete the following: •Construct at least six reasons for and six reasons against the topic. Rank the reasons in terms of strength and effectiveness. •Explain why you identified each argument as either strong or weak in each category.

Include the following two parts in your completed assignment:

Part 1: Compile a matrix (using the template below) that lists and ranks six arguments for and six arguments against the issue you have selected. Rank the reasons for each side of the issue from strongest to weakest.

Part 2: After you have compiled your matrix, write a 500–700-word paper in Word format. This essay should explain and synthesize the information in your matrix. Defend why you have ranked each argument as either strong or weak. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
