For this discussion, find a recent news article (within the past 12 months) that describes the latest developments in a conflict, issue, or other major event in this the Austral or Pacific realm. Provide a brief summary of the conflict/issue/event that your article describes, and your own analysis of how this issue might affect the realm, and might be resolved. Be sure that the topic of the news article has some connection with the geographical issues and concepts we’ve been discussing, and be sure to highlight these connections in your discussion.

Two separate essays for the two following questions. 1. Outside of France, French can be the first language of the people of the country (or other geographical entity). In other cases, it is not anyone’s first language, but is a strong second language used in education and for official purposes. Comment on the status of French in the area of the world assigned to you. The area I was assigned is Martinique and Guadeloupe. 2. What surprised and/or impressed you in learning about pidgins and creoles? What is the status of these languages, and where are they spoken? Why are they important for linguists? If you speak one yourself, please share any information or insights that you have.

Read the case before starting write (The case on Page 235 of the book). Only need to answer the first one and the seventh of the request. The main focus is on the seventh requirement, but these four things have to be concluded in the summary, which they are the history, products, services, and SWOT of this company.

Cooperative Learning Groups Research Design Exercise This exercise is designed to help you choose a research design for your proposal. Use your cooperative learning group to help you settle on a final design. I don’t expect anyone to be able to answer all of these questions right now. However, finding the answers to these questions will help guide your final proposal. Instructions Take 15–20 minutes and answer as many of the questions that follow as possible. You have answered some of these questions in the past; others will be new for you. Remember, it is okay for your research questions or design to change as you learn more about the feasibility of your evaluation. Questions you don’t feel comfortable with or are unsure about, leave blank and ask your cooperative learning group for help. 1. What is your research question? What are the major effective measures to support mental health program? 2. What is the outcome you are studying or what are the variables you are studying if it is not an outcome study?Better effectiveness in implementing mental health care program for individuals in the community. 3. Is this a qualitative or quantitative study? Does it have elements of both? Explain.This will be a Quantitative data in order to help one see the big picture of my research. 4. Is it a formative or summative evaluation? Explain. It will be a summative for me to be able to analyze my achievement in the end of my research. 5. What is the design of your study? What are the strengths of this design? What are the limitations? A case study design 6. From whom will you collect data? Staff members /co-workers 7. Will you use a sample? If so what is your sampling strategy? 8. What method will you use to collect the data (survey, interviews, administrative or secondary data, etc.)? Convenience 9. Are there any ethical or IRB issues with your study? After completing as many of these questions as possible, meet with your cooperative learning group. Each member of the group will present your research question(s) and summarize his or her design. Then, the presenting group member should share questions with which they are struggling. As a group, discuss next steps for the presenting member’s final research or evaluation proposal. We will discuss requirements for the final research proposal during next week’s session. In addition, provide the following feedback to each presenter: 1. If he or she has presented a design, identify one threat to the internal validity of the study (Remember, this does not mean you have to change your design, you just have to be aware of this limitation. All studies have limitations.). 2. Provide one suggestion for how you think the study can be improved or made more feasible.

The students for 8-1 are Andre,Tara, comment on Andre comment to Doris, and Lewis . for 8-2 there is one comment for Andre the questions are different in text citations and reference page a total of 5 comments. You can use the students references if you want 8-1 Describe the structure of the Baron EQ/I assessment. How can this assessment lead to a better understanding of interacting with others? Explain. Andre The Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory is a self-report assessment of emotional and social factors that gives an estimate of emotional and social intelligence (Bar-On, 2013). It is a 133-item inventory that scores five areas (intrapersonal and interpersonal factors. stress management skills, situational adaptability and general positive moods). The principle of Bar-On is that if one manages their own responses effectively, it will translate into positive interpersonal relationships with others (Bar-On, 2006). This is due to the idea that one needs to assess their emotional intelligence, in order to respond to their emotions effectively, which affects one’s emotional health and ultimately their psychological well-being (Bar-On, 2013). When these three factors are in balance and the person is not engaging in self-defeating behaviors, one can interact with others effectively as well. Bar-On, R. (2006). The Bar-On Model of Emotional-Social Intelligence (ESI). Psicothema, 18, pp. 13-25. http://www.psicothema.com/pdf/3271.pdf Bar-On, R. (2013). Reuven Bar-On. Retrieved May 15, 2020, from https://www.reuvenbaron.org/wp/ Tara, The structure of the Baron EQ/1 assessment assesses self-perception, interpersonal, decision making, stress management, and self-expression (High Performing Systems, Inc., n.d.). The EQ-i consists of 133 items in the form of short sentences and employs a 5-point response scale with a textual response format ranging from “very seldom or not true of me” (1) to “very often true of me or true of me” (5) (High Performing Systems, Inc., n.d.). It measures socially and emotionally intelligent behavior. Emotional intelligence is believed to be a critical determinant of life success (High Performing Systems, Inc., n.d.). This assessment can lead to a better understanding of interacting with others because the knowledge gained helps guide actions and thoughts towards self and others. One may find new methods that allow their emotional intelligence to become stronger, therefore, providing them with the confidence needed for robust decision making.

Retrieved May 16, 2020, from https://www.hpsys.com/EI_BarOnEQ-I.htm This is my post Andre comment answer his comment below The full assessment of the combined emotional social intelligence comprise five major components, viz, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Stress Management, General Mood Scale, and Adaptability. Intrapersonal reveals tendencies of self-regard, emotional self-awareness, assertiveness, independence, and self-determination. Interpersonal focuses on empathy, social responsibility, and socialization. Stress Management explores tolerance to stress, and self-control when overwhelmed with emotions. General mood scale checks an individual’s hopefulness and joy.Adaptability deals with life skills especially problem solving techniques, versatility and acceptance of reality How can EQ/I assessment lead to a better understanding of interacting with others? Explain. The components as aforementioned provide a reserve of data about the people around an individual. Proper use of the knowledge gathered from those around you helps one communicate better, handle conflicts peacefully, empathize and handle challenges with confidence (Unknown, 2015). If the behavior at workplace, feelings, and relationship is checked then the quality of life of those around you are likely to be inspired. Reference Unknown Aurhor.

Andre Hello Doris, Your responses are indicative of the primary applicability of Bar-On to interpersonal relationships. Personal emotional well being can have an overwhelmingly positive impact on ho one participates in relationships, which can create healthy families, social structures and healthy communities. It does appear that the creators of Bar-On are looking to apply it more so to human performance in organizational settings. The goal is to maximize one’s potential and produce a concept of “star performer profiling” (Bar-On, 2013). The Bar-On is utilized to select, train and develop high performers by taking the Bar-On scores of employees that predict high performance, placing those employees in leadership training programs and matching the scores with employee performance reports two years after the initial assessment. It does seem that Bar-On has more immediate application in interpersonal relationships. Bar-On, R. (2013). Reuven Bar-On. Retrieved May 16, 2020, from https://www.reuvenbaron.org/wp/ Lewis The ESI measures emotional and social intelligence behavior. (https://ap.themyersbriggs.com/content/EQi_2_0_Model.jpg) Its broken down into five areas; Stress management, self-perception, self-expression interpersonal and decision making. This covers more in-depth with emotional self-awareness, empathy, problem solving, impulse control and optimism. “In brief, the EQ-i contains 133 items in the form of short sentences and employs a 5-point response scale with a textual response format” (2006) EI is a touch tricky as it should show the capacity to be aware and control ones emotions. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Difference-between-low-and-high-emotional-intelligence_fig2_330400643 The tricky part is what side of the scale you are viewing it from. Slow or consistent picky or careful, when we measure things like this or at least in this manner it comes down to social perspective. Not a lot past that. That makes it at least hard for me to better understand how this can help with understanding others or even interacting with them. Sure there is a huge difference between acting out and not, that is why I used the examples that I did. My wife will tell you I am fussy, I would tell you I am meticulous. I would tell you that I am strong willed but others would say I am bossy. Again its all about perspective, and when things like that come down to it, there is no real right or wrong answers. Bar-On, R. (2006). The Bar-On Model of Emotional-Social Intelligence (ESI). Psicothema, 18, pp. 13-25.

Explain. Andre The Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory measures emotional and social intelligence (Bar-On, 2013). Emotional intelligence involves abilities, competencies and skills related to understanding oneself and others, relating to peers and family members, and adapting to changing environmental situations and demands. The problem becomes when one uses emotional responses to life situations rather than effective problem-solving. Emotional responses can affect a person’s perspective and interfere with their ability to manage their situations effectivly. The situations in which the Bar-On EQ/I would be most useful are those in which emotional reactivity impacts one’s ability to manage their situations effectively. The two primary areas that I would use Bar-On are when the client is experiencing anger, sadness or anhedonia and this either causes decreased motivation or affects their interpersonal interactions with others either in their career or in their interpersonal relationships.

2pages, double space, 1 inch margins, times new roman, 12 pt font Choose an ethics topic and watch a comedy sketch going over the issue that shares a perspective that you had not known before or explores some perspective you do not agree with. (It may be easier to start by watching comedy sketches you wouldn’t normally and then choose a dilemma they talk about to write on.) How does medium of comedy change what information is exchanged? What are the pros of this? The cons? What did you learn about this perspective or topic?

1. Provide an assessment of what makes Congoleum a good LBO target. 2. Evaluate the LBO proposal and determine the value of the firm if it undertakes the LBO and compare this to the existing value of the firm. Your valuation analysis (based on the assumptions above) should be the bulk of your report and serve to answer this question. Provide sensitivity analyses. 3. Quantify the incremental effects of the LBO (as compared to no LBO) on Congoleum as a whole, and attribute portions of the sizable purchase premium to: the cost savings in corporate expenses, the step-up of asset values for depreciation, and the interest tax shields. In addition, if any of the value added from the LBO is unexplained by these three factors, explain where you think this additional value may be coming from. 4. Quantify the gains/losses to the various parties involved in this deal, and render an opinion as to the appropriateness of the $38 offer price received by old shareholders. When computing the gains/losses to various parties, make sure to account for the impact of the “equity kicker”and “strip financing.”

Details: 12 pt. Times New Roman font Double-spaced 1″ margins Last name and page numbers as headers In-text citations, if possible Prompt: For this exam, we are focusing on Nikki Finney’s Rice and the particular challenge we’ll work on is how to read analytically across more than one poem. To structure that work, I’d like you to begin with an idea or concept (e.g. body, land, family, gender, violence etc.) that you understand to be broadly relevant to the project of Finney’s volume. In the first sentence of your exam, you’ll identify this concept. Then, you’ll formulate a question about that concept that is big enough to be applicable to more than one poem, but not so broad as to be ungrounded in the specific poems that you’ll close read. A question like: “Why is the concept of family important to Finney’s Rice?” is too broad; one like: “How does Finney use the idea of outer-space to theorize Blackness?” is probably too specific to “Mae/I”; but something like: “What potentially non- normative forms of reproduction does Finney think about using the metaphor of the seed?” is about right. Then, you’ll show how two poems answer the question you’ve posed. You do not have to find a unifying answer to the questions across the two poems. Instead, what links your analyses of the poems will be the question itself. If you’d like you can even structure your answer in numbered sections (i. introduction ii. reading one iii. reading two).

You will be expected to find current news articles pertaining to the current topics in the Strategy course and to describe issues related to the 3C’s and 4P’s. Most often, firms that are in the news are in the news for a “bad” reason – they’ve made a mistake and lost customer support which has led to declining purchases, negative word of mouth, etc. Using the week’s relevant material, I’d like for you to: 1. Tell me what the problem is (the firm is experiencing problems because…..) 2. Suggest 1-2 reasons for why the firm might be struggling (e.g., the firm is struggling because it produced a product that is inconsistent with the brand image or the firm is struggling because a competitor produced a better product) 3. Propose a reasonable way forward (i.e., what the firm can do to mitigate losses or to recover from losses in profits). By “reasonable,” I mean a solution the firm could actually implement in order to improve. This recommendation should be specific (not, “I recommend the firm research what consumers want or the firm needs to advertise on social media) and should follow logically from your analysis on the first two points. Full marks will be awarded to assignments with a specific, logical plan of action that makes sense given potential budget constraints. If you recommend overly expensive social media or advertising campaigns without considering the firm’s budget and resources, your recommendation is likely to be considered one that is superficial. That is, your recommendation should be feasible and reasonable, especially given the current economic climate with tight budgets. Your assignment should be no more than 2 pages, double spaced, 12 point font. If you prefer to write less, that is fine as long as you answer the questions put forth above. You will complete four of these assignments and I will drop your lowest score. Because of this policy, I will not accept late submissions. Perhaps unsurprisingly components 2 and 3 above are the most important parts of the assignment and will be weighed most heavily. All material should come from current issues in the news – I do not want you focusing on problems firms faced and “solved” a year ago, I want you to focus on the issues of that week. Trusted news sources include many major media outlets (WSJ, Financial Times, NY Times) as well as marketing trade publications (American Marketing Association, AdWeek). Please avoid using opinion pieces for the basis as they are not held to the same standards of journalistic integrity and might be biased. I will provide feedback on your written assignments – as such, they might take some time to grade, especially if I am unable to access consistent childcare during the pandemic (1-2 weeks). Please keep this in mind.
