Title: The Feminist Lens in “The Story of an Hour”
Lens Paper
A lens paper is a way of closely looking at or analyzing an aspect of art, literature, or film in writing. It is basically a literary analysis but can be applied to tv, film and art.
Here are some common lenses used to analyze works in formal essays:
Feminist
This lens looks at the way women are portrayed. It can also analyze how women are portrayed in relation to their male counterparts.
(For example: Louise Mallard in “The Story of An Hour”; Offred in “The Handmaid’s Tale” tv series; Brienne of Tarth in “Game of Thrones” book or series; The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series of novels, the housewives in the play Trifles by Glaspell)
Marxist
This lens looks at social class.
(Films: A Bug’s Life, A Clockwork Orange, TV series on Netflix “The Crown”; short stories https://www.shortstoryguide.com/short-stories-about-class/)
Psychoanalytical
This lens looks at the mental state of a character or characters. Usually, the DSM-5 is used to diagnose a commonly accepted mental illness.
(Documentary I’ll Be Gone In The Dark on HBO; “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Cask of Amontillado”; Girl, Interrupted, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series)
Autobiographical
This looks at how the author inserts his or her own life experience into the work.
(Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”; The Vow HBO)
Historical
This looks at the time period of the work and how that impacts it.
(“A Rose For Emily”; Macbeth; tv series Vikings, the Tudors, etc)
Other lenses include: color theory, language acquisition, political theories, etc.
Directions:
Please analyze the “Story of An Hour “ or another work using one of the lenses above. Here are some links to better understand this type of essay:
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/writing_in_literature/literary_theory_and_schools_of_criticism/index.html
For this paper please use at least four sources. I recommend the Middlesex Databases; however, with permission you may use the internet. As always, a book (such as the DSM-5) or movie/ video clip (John Green’s youtube videos) can be used as a source. You should always cite the primary work itself (such as the short story, documentary, etc.).
This paper should be five to six pages of essay using APA format. (I am not including the title page or reference page in the length.) -
“Conformity and Rebellion: Exploring the Intersection of Gender, Race, Culture, and Socioeconomic Division in Society”
Research Paper – A research paper is an in depth study of a specific and distinct topic organized into a thesis. It includes not only factual research from a wide variety of sources, but also the writer’s interpretation of that research. Throughout this short semester we have explored readings that focus on “conformity and rebellion” while also touching in topics such as gender, race, culture and socioeconomic division. Your task is to create an 8-10 page argumentative research paper that expands upon the general theme of conformity and rebellion and includes at least 5 readings discussed in class and at least 5 sources from the MCCC databases. Pick a Topic: Remember the purpose of this research paper is to persuade the reader to accept your opinion. Determine the focus of your argument. Make sure to select a topic that you are interested in and be practical. Chose a topic that is broad enough to be stimulating but narrow enough to be manageable. You may expand upon a previous paper topic or combine multiple paper topics into one argument.
Research: Do not underestimate the amount of time you will need for research. Your research provides the support for your entire paper. It is important to gather enough information to completely cover your topic. Do not rush through this process or it will reflect poorly on your paper. Keep a running list of your sources for your work cited page. You may wish to include the sources that you gathered in previous papers or research logs.
Outline: Once you complete your research, you need to organize it a put it into the format you want for your research paper. A great outline leads to a clear first draft.
Rough Draft: This step requires putting all of the work that you have done into complete sentences, adding your own interpretations/opinions and ensuring that your paper is unified. Introduction: Every research paper needs a well-crafted introduction. You want your readers to be intrigued by your topic and your stance on that topic. Write an introduction that grabs the reader and plots out the trajectory of your argument. Include your thesis and summarize the supporting points that you will make to prove your thesis. Your introduction for a paper this large may be more than one paragraph.
Body Paragraphs: Start with a strong topic sentence and summarize, analyze, explain and evaluate your information. Make sure to quote directly to every source included in your work cited page. Do not overlook the importance of transitions; logically connect sentences and paragraphs.
Conclusion: Give your paper a strong sense of closure.
Work Cited Page: Include all your sources in proper citation format. Remember that sources should be listed alphabetically.
Proofreading/Editing: Careful editing and proofreading is not something that can be done quickly. Make sure that you spend time checking grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. Use strong verbs and vary sentence length. Follow MLA standards. You are required to use e-tutoring or the learning center. Final Draft: Make sure that your paper is properly formatted and well written. Avoid plagiarizing any source material

Title: Assessing and Mitigating Data and Security Breaches in Health Information Management Systems using the SDLC Framework for Improved Patient Quality of Care
Overview
In this assignment, you will examine IT systems applied to health information management (HIM), the potential vulnerabilities of these systems, and protocols to mitigate the risk of data and security breaches that are due to these vulnerabilities. IT systems are used for health information and data management in many areas, including patient electronic medical records (EMR), hospital operations management, and health care policy decisions. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a project management framework used to assess IT systems and associated organizational needs to identify and implement improvements to the system. You will write a paper to examine how the SDLC framework can be used to assess an IT system applied to HIM and evaluate risk mitigation protocols that reduce system risk and improve patient quality of care.
Instructions
Write a 5-6 page paper in which you:
Choose a type of IT system applied to Health Information Management (HIM) for improved patient quality of care supported by an explanation for your selection.
Examples include
Electronic Health Record Systems.
e-prescribing Systems.
Clinical Decision Support Systems.
Radiology Information Systems.
Physician Order Entry Systems.
Outline organizational needs that define the requirements for the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
Critique each of the five phases of the SDLC and how each addresses the organizational needs for the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
Assess three possible data and security breach vulnerabilities in the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
Evaluate three protocols to mitigate identified data and security breach vulnerabilities and improve the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
Synthesize how the outcomes from the analysis of a selected IT system using the SDLC can improve patient quality of care.
Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Analyze how health care IT technologies, databases, and business processes applied to patient information, data security, and data integrity can improve quality of care.
