Popular music is all around us. We hear it in public places, we make decisions as to what to listen to in private, and it accompanies many of the visual texts that we consume. Why do we listen to certain
songs and why do we like or dislike certain artists? How do songs communicate the cultural feeling of a given time and place and how do we map our own experiences and memories onto musical selections?
The goals of this assignment are to reflect on a popular song of your choosing and to begin to learn how to write thoughtfully and critically about popular music. You will analyze the song by reflecting on your own subjectivities and by contextualizing the song within its larger cultural and/or historical context. In other words, you will be discussing the song’s significance in relation to your own ideas,
experiences, and values, and that of its wider cultural context. You are to formulate a written text that responds to the points below.

Health Care Organization Promotion in Your Community
As with any other organization, once a product is developed by a health care organization it needs to be promoted to its target market. That way customers are aware that it exists, that it is available, and what the product specs are.
Promotion can take many forms and is often tailored to the results of market analysis. Advertising is the most common form of promotion; however, promotion efforts may also include personal selling, sales promotion, public relations, and direct marketing. As you go about your day, make a deliberate effort to be aware of examples of promotion from health care organizations you may not otherwise have recognized. Try to understand these efforts in light of concepts that have been discussed in recent weeks. Think about the impact these promotions have on you and your community.
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Review this week's Learning Resources.
• Find one example of a health care organization's promotion in your community .
Post an example of a health care organization's promotion (one of the 4 P's of marketing mix) in your community. Include a link to the example if available or attach a jpeg image. Then, evaluate to whom the health care organization is marketing as well as the desired message. Finally, analyze how you think this promotion might reflect the strategic initiatives or marketing strategy of the health care organization and the effectiveness of the promotion's message.

Epidemiologic Designs: Analyze the strengths and the limitations of the potential data sources you might use for your study

Epidemiologic Designs: Analyze the strengths and the limitations of the potential data sources you might use for your study

As introduced in the first few weeks of this course, investigators use various epidemiological study designs to study health problems and the effects of health interventions. You have examined several study designs, including descriptive designs (in Week 2) and analytic study designs that are observational (in Week 3) or experimental (this week). As a DNP student, you should be able to determine which study design would be most suitable for addressing a health problem of interest to you, as this is a foundation for evidence-based practice.
For this Discussion, you will consider which epidemiologic study design (i.e., descriptive, ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, or experimental) is most appropriate for investigating the population health problem you selected for Assignment 1. In addition, you will consider which epidemiologic data sources you would use to examine your health problem.
To prepare:
Reflect on the population health problem you identified in Assignment 1 which is HIV?AIDS, which you will use for Major Assessment 7, and your early review of the literature.
Identify a question for your study; this will help you select an appropriate design.
Consider which epidemiologic study design (i.e., descriptive, ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, or experimental) is most appropriate for addressing your selected health problem based upon the assumptions and basic tenets of each design.
Determine which epidemiological design(s) would not be appropriate for your study and why.
Also, explore the various health data resources that were presented in Chapter 5 of the course text, Epidemiology for Public Health Practice. Consider which data resources you could use for your study, assessing the strengths and limitations of those resources.
Write a one page cohesive scholarlypost response that addresses the following:
Briefly summarize the population health problem you selected for Major Assessment 7 - HIV/AIDS, and state the study question you want to answer which is - How can we promote positive social change on HIV pandemic as part of our Walden mission?
Explain which epidemiologic study design is most appropriate for your study, as well as the assumptions and tenets that support its application.
Analyze the strengths and the limitations of the potential data sources you might use for your study.

write an argumentative paper about the nature of immigration in American history.


write an argumentative paper about the nature of immigration in American history.
Using the sources and information from the course to contextualize the immigrant experience, write an argumentative paper about the nature of immigration in American history.
The primary sources are to be accounts from immigrants about life in the United States.
Use the sources in the attachment and also the course sources, which I am also attaching.
The primary sources must be the driving evidence in the paper, but you must also use the material from the course to contextualize all four sources.
The paper must be a thesis-driven, argumentative paper. This is not a report where you simply relate the information in the sources or provide an account of an immigrant’s life. Instead, you are to take the information from the sources to come to a central conclusion about the history of American immigration and make an argument about that history. For example, some questions that could be the core of the paper: Is the United States a nation of immigrants or a nation of some desired immigrants? Is the history of immigration in the United States the story of multiculturalism or the story of assimilation to a set of cultural values shared by all Americans? Going with our course theme, what is an American and how do immigrants change or reinforce certain conceptions of Americanness? You are not bound to these questions and in fact are encouraged to devise your own approach to American immigration history

Going with our course theme, what is an American and how do immigrants change or reinforce certain conceptions of Americanness? You are not bound to these questions and in fact are encouraged to devise your own approach to American immigration history. The paper needs to be 4-5 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, and have 1-inch margins all the way around. Any paper shorter than four full pages or longer than five full pages will be docked points. Any paper not following the stated formatting requests or primary source requirements will be docked points. Whenever you quote or paraphrase from the course material, cite using Chicago Manual Style and footnoting. Note: The 4-5 page requirement is to be considered without footnotes, i.e. you need to have 4 full pages without footnotes and no more than 5 full pages without footnotes
A successful paper will have a clear and original thesis that provides a sophisticated argument about the history of immigration and ethnicity. The organization of the successful paper will be evident, easily followed, and have excellent transitions. The evidence will be used to support every point and will make sense and relate to the argument of the paper. Evidence will be integrated into the argument not simply placed in the paragraph (Standalone quotes will be docked points). The paper will be logically argued with connections that illuminate the thesis and offer a unique perspective on immigration and ethnicity in American history. Finally, the paper will have excellent grammar, diction, sentence structure, correct use of punctuation, proper citations, and generally free of errors.

Hinduism/Buddhism Paper


Imagine that you are a scholar from a distant planet and you have the power to travel through space and time. No, this is not an episode of the “Twilight Zone”. You have heard that there is a planet called Earth. It is the home of many different cultures, religions, and sets of beliefs. In particular, you have heard that one part of Earth (the Indian Subcontinent) is home to two sets of beliefs that are competing for followers. Preliminary data indicates that Earthlings call these beliefs Hinduism and Buddhism. As a topic for your next award winning paper, you decide to answer the question, “What made Hinduism or Buddhism a popular set of beliefs to its followers?”
You can write the paper as a journal, an essay, or any other form of your choice. Yet, you must have a statement (preferably at the start of the paper) that states the answer to the question. This is known as a thesis and it is very important for a good paper. It provides the reader an idea of what you intend to argue in the paper.

Crime and media


Select ONE media text for analysis. This text could be ‘fiction’ or ‘non-fiction’ and might include any of the following:
1.a novel
2.a film
3.genre of music
4.a television program
5.a website
The task is to analyse this text in terms of what it says to you (and perhaps wider society) about crime and/or criminality.
Some of these questions might help you to think about and to structure your essay:
*What type of text am I analysing – what sort of medium is it?
*What are the contents of my text – can I describe it sufficiently so that a person unfamiliar with the item can still see it in their mind?
*Why have I chosen this text – what does it mean/say to me?
*What does it say about crime or criminality?
*How does this representation correspond with what I know from my other criminological/criminal justice studies?
*What theory would I use to unpack (explain) what I see as the message or intention of my text?
*Is there anything special that I want to point to in terms of production values?
*Are there any particular critiques that I want to make about this text – strengths, weaknesses?
