  • Title: Analyzing Disney’s Development Strategy in Virginia: A Stakeholder Perspective Introduction The proposed development of Disney America in Virginia was met with significant opposition, resulting in a costly and embarrassing defeat for the company. This memorandum aims to analyze

    Read the case file. I attached what I have done so far. Rewrite page 2/3 to include what hasn’t been done in the instructions yet. 
    Suggested Approach:
    Read the entire case and the exhibits first;
    Assess what is really important to each of the stakeholders;
    Consider the development process as presented in this course.
    Understand who are the decision-makers: who can make decisions on the proposed project, or decisions within the project;
    Decide what will ultimately determine success or failure for Disney; and
    Think about what strategy you would employ if different from what is or seems to be suggested by the case.
    A Memorandum should include the following analysis:
    Establish or describe the material aspects or context of the case; and
    Identify and discuss the primary stakeholders, and describe what is most important to each of them, and what are their motivations.
    Analyze the following issues:
    Disney essentially followed the same development strategy in Virginia that had worked so well in Florida. Indeed, as it had done in Florida, Disney again won ringing endorsements from the state legislature and the governor. Nevertheless, the company was dealt a very expensive embarrassing defeat in Virginia. Why?
    What are the opportunities, resources and barriers that Disney had in Virginia?
    What was the nature and source of the power of those opposing Disney America?
    If you were Disney, what would have be your biggest concern(s) and why?
    Evaluate whether, and the extent to which Disney did a good job in aligning the interests of the various stakeholders or parties. Other than not attempting this project in the first place, what might Disney have done differently to achieve a better result from this point of view? Evaluate the effectiveness of Disney’s decisions on the major issues that the company faces.
    Describe the strategies that you would have used, or the decisions that you would have made, if they are different from what is stated in the case.
    What different roles did the media play in this controversy and how did that affect the public (and private) negotiations that were taking place. Format of Assignment:
    Prepare a written business memorandum, with a 3 page maximum (exclusive of any exhibits);
    MS Word/Google Docs in 1.5 line space, Times New Roman font, using a 12-point font, and 1 inch margins;

  • Title: Ethical and Cultural Considerations in the Care of an Elderly Indigenous Man

    Task: Read the scenario and further information below and submit a written response to the two questions posed. Please follow all submission guidelines and consult the marking rubric.
    Length: 1500 words maximum (+/- 10%)
    Submission: Your submission should be double-spaced in 12-pt font, in Arial or Times New Roman. You may use subheadings and should write in full paragraphs. Submit your completed assignment by 11.59pm on the due date.
    SCENARIO:
    John Turner, an 80-year-old Bigambul man, is brought to the emergency department (ED) by his concerned neighbour, Vandana, due to worsening symptoms of a chest infection. Mr Turner lives alone in Brisbane, and his primary caregiver is his adult niece, Emily. However, Vandana reports possible neglect and inadequate care, raising concerns about Mr Turner’s well-being. She said she recently contacted Emily when she found Mr Turner lying in his back garden after a fall. He appeared unhurt but Emily said she was too busy to take him to a doctor. On another occasion, Vandana found maggots in Mr Turner’s kitchen bin when she was cleaning up after she visited him for a cup of tea.
    Upon arrival, Mr Turner appears lethargic and disoriented. He complains of persistent cough, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. His vital signs are as follows: blood pressure 140/90 mmHg, heart rate 110 bpm, respiratory rate 24/min, and oxygen saturation 89% on room air. Crackles are heard on auscultation of the lungs. You want to admit Mr Turner and start treating his infection but he appears to be confused. There is no advance health directive nor power of attorney.
    Part 1 Question:  Detail and apply the law in Queensland as to John’s capacity to consent to treatment. Your discussion should consider who can make a decision if John cannot.
    FURTHER INFORMATION:
    After admission, John’s condition continues to decline. He develops pneumonia and a serious infection that does not respond to treatment. Given his advanced age and prognosis, John is not going to survive his admission.
    Part 2 Question: Referring to relevant healthcare policies, professional guidelines and scholarly literature, discuss (a) why it is important to consider Mr Turner’s identity as a Bigambul man as he nears the end of his life, and (b) what strategies might be employed in this case to provide him with culturally-safe care before and after his death.

  • “The Power of Narrative: Analyzing How The Jungle Calls for Social Justice” “Crafting a Cohesive and Convincing Argument: An Analysis of the Structure and Language in an Essay”

    Craft a 5 page persuasive essay that uses close reading skills to analyze how 1-2 passages from The Jungle  call readers to recognize and address social injustice. For this assignment cite directly from  the jungle by upton sinclair. only source should be the jungle by upton sinclair
    Your argument should address at least 2 of the 3 questions below:
    1. How does the text attempt to evoke affective responses conducive to social justice? How does it attempt to generate feelings like empathy, outrage, compassion, disgust, conviction, etc.?
    2. How does the text convey the nature of the injustice(s) represented? What essential rights, values, and/or needs does it portray as violated or neglected?
    3. What alternate and more just behaviors and systems does the text call for? How does it make such a call?
    In answering at least 2 of those 3 questions in a coherent argument, you will ideally offer your reader some idea of what tools fictional narratives can use to orient readers’ minds toward social justice. A strong essay will also likely comment on why it matters that The Jungle  call readers to recognize and address the social injustices on which they focus. 
    This essay should focus on close reading rather than contextualization/research. Dig into the mechanics of the passage(s) you analyze, consider things like figurative language, narrative perspective, narrative structure, etc. Some light research to define key terms could be useful, but I do not recommend extensive research for this assignment.
    Essential Goals:
    The essay’s thesis is arguable (i.e., non-factual and unobvious) and represents a plausible interpretation of the way in which 1-2 passages from The Jungle  call readers to recognize and address social injustice. The thesis conveys possible answers to two of questions 1-3 above.
    Nearly all of the essay’s claims can be easily understood as relevant to the essay’s thesis. 
    The essay clearly identifies enough relevant textual evidence from 1-2 passages in the novel to support its claims about how the text communicates a call for social justice, analyzing at least 4 direct quotes from the novel. 
    The essay’s claims and reasoning offer substantial, coherent answers to two of questions 1-3 above. The essay generally uses reasoning effectively to show how the essay’s evidence supports its claims and thesis.
    The essay uses the MLA citation style to cite the analyzed text and includes an MLA style Works Cited (see this site and this site for more info; ask me questions if further clarity is needed). 
    The essay is 4-6 pages long.
    The essay’s language is generally clear and free of grammatical errors.
    Advanced Goals:
    The essay’s combination of thesis, claims, reasons, and evidence presents a compelling, persuasive, thorough argument (one that is likely to sway readers and makes counterarguments difficult) about how 1-2 passages from The Jungle call readers to recognize and address social injustice.
    The essay’s thesis clearly articulates the argument’s stakes (why it matters that we attend to The Jungle’s calls for social justice), effectively conveys the argument’s central claims, and signals some of the reasoning that will be used to support those claims.
    The essay demonstrates complex, nuanced thinking about the ways fictional narrative and literary style can be used to alter how readers think about, respond to, and recognize social justice issues and the people related to those issues.
    The essay presents convincing, detailed, precise claims and reasoning about how specific uses of language in the chosen novel invite specific affective responses, work to persuade readers that certain rights, values, and/or needs are both essential and neglected, and/or suggest (again in persuasive terms) alternate, more just possibilities for society.
    The essay’s key terms are either clearly defined or already unambiguous, and those key terms are used with a precision that suggests a strong grasp on their meaning.
    Paragraphs in the essay are crafted in ways that foreground the author’s argument, focusing on analysis and avoiding summary or contextualization that does not progress your argument. The claims around which paragraphs are structured clearly progress the essay’s argument or serve another logical function.
    The essay presents a robust amount of textual evidence and the function of nearly all pieces of textual evidence are given thorough explanations that make evident how that piece of evidence supports the essay’s claims and thesis. The argument walks readers through how a piece of evidence does what they claim it does.
    The sequencing of the essay’s paragraphs demonstrates the author’s understanding how their claims build on each other. Later claims follow logically from early claims.
    The essay’s language flows in ways that make comprehension easy. It is unlikely that a skilled reader would need to reread get the gist of your meaning or would be “bumped” out of their reading process.

  • “Reading Together for Social Justice: How Literature Can Promote Ethical Action and Equitable Communities” “Promoting Social Justice and Flourishing through Literary Analysis and Community Engagement”

    Craft a 6 page paper that combines contextual research and literary analysis to argue for ways in which reading literature can help individuals act more ethically and create more just and equitable communities and then outline a possible plan for your group’s Reading Together Project that seeks to test out your argument.
    A major aim of this assignment is to prepare you to collaboratively lead a reading community with the other members of your reading group by having you develop some well informed ideas about how such a reading community might advance social justice. 
    The three components of the paper (in the order that I think is most likely to be effective):
    A thesis that makes a claim about how reading/discussing literature in community might promote justice and flourishing (or, if you prefer, why it it is unlikely to accomplish that), and a discussion that synthesizes ideas and information from at least 4 credible, relevant secondary sources (3 of which must be scholarly) to suggest that your thesis is reasonable and well informed. You can use any of the secondary sources that we’ve discussed in class as well as the source that you wrote about in the related minor assignment. all sources to be use have been attached in files 
    A section in which you close read the jungle by upton sinclair  to illustrate how it might be used to realize your claims about how discussing literature in community might promote justice and flourishing. Show how specific features of the text could be discussed or understood in ways that might change the minds and actions of reading community members.
    A proposal in which you outline how your group could organize and lead a reading community that strives to include people who are not in our class and meets at least four times to discuss one or two of our course texts. You should identify how your Reading Group will invite people to join its reading community, what text(s) you’ll focus on, where and when you might meet, and how you will attempt to apply the ideas and research discussed earlier in the paper to organizing and leading your reading community. .
    Essential Goals: 
    The essay offers a plausible thesis that makes a claim about how reading/discussing literature in community might promote justice and flourishing.
    The essay contains a discussion that synthesizes ideas and information from at least 4 credible, relevant secondary sources to support and expand on the ideas in your thesis. 
    Three of those sources are scholarly, meaning they are written by an expert, published in a scholarly venue, and peer-reviewed or have undergone a similarly rigorous process to ensure originality, accuracy, and quality. 
    The essay close reads one of our course texts to illustrate how it might be used to realize your thesis’s claims about how discussing literature in community might promote justice and flourishing.
    The essay offers a proposal in which you outline how your Reading Group could organize and lead a reading community that strives to include people who are not in our class and meets at least four times to discuss one or two of our course texts and this proposal is clearly informed and inspired by the thesis, research, and close reading offered in the rest of the essay.
    The essay uses the MLA citation style to cite the analyzed text and includes an MLA style Works Cited (see this siteLinks to an external site. and this site for more info; ask me questions if further clarity is needed). 
    The essay is 6-8 pages long.
    The essay’s language is generally clear and free of grammatical errors. Its organization does not noticeably hamper readers’ understanding.
    Advanced Goals:
    The essay’s combination of thesis, claims, reasons, and evidence presents a compelling, persuasive, thorough argument (one that is likely to sway readers and makes counterarguments difficult) about how reading/discussing literature in community might promote justice and flourishing. The essay’s argument makes clear how specific kinds of reading/analysis/discussion of literary texts can lead to specific outcomes related to social justice and flourishing.
    The essay’s proposal section describes specific actions that the group could take to lead and organize a successful reading community and shows how those actions are informed by the essay’s argument and research by drawing clear connections to the claims and sources offered in other parts of the essay. The essay’s proposal offers concrete details to describe how the reading community will be led and organized.
    The essay’s proposed reading community seems likely to achieve its goals, based on your proposal.
    The essay’s discussion of secondary sources conveys the author’s detailed knowledge of each source and relies more on quotation than paraphrase.
    The essay shows clearly how its thesis is informed by the ideas and information in its secondary sources and also effectively distinguishes and foregrounds its own claims about how reading/discussing literature in community might promote justice and flourishing. 
    The essay’s close reading of a course text is thorough and persuasive. It offers robust analysis of well-chosen textual evidence and that analysis shows persuasively how specific features of the text could be discussed or understood in ways that might change the minds and actions of reading community members.
    The sequencing of the essay’s paragraphs demonstrates the author’s understanding how their claims build on each other. Later claims follow logically from early claims.
    The essay’s language flows in ways that make comprehension easy. It is unlikely that a skilled reader would need to reread get the gist of your meaning or would be “bumped” out of their reading process.
