post 1
I believe that Dr. Kendi makes a convincing argument claiming that racist ideas impacted policies. These ideas shaped all of early policies. For example, as stated in
the video, the Dutch allowed blacks to live freely but as soon as the English began to own and control parts of New York they began to gradually take away the right of
Blacks making it illegal to assemble and also to own land. This policy was very strategic in taking away the vast amount of land that was owned by free Blacks during
this time period. Similarly, blacks were initially barred from serving in the Union war effort simply because White soldiers refused to fight alongside them. It was
“stamped from the beginning” this idea of inferiority based on the color of one’s skin. And with these racist ideas, this country created its law system ensuring that
these racist ideals were upheld with the policies such as the 3/5ths rule and segregational apartheid. This greatly affected black politics because with oppressive
systems constantly claiming that blacks are inferior, there was a great disparity in the political representation of Blacks. Even informal political groups and their
leaders such as Catto and Marcus Garvey were eventually murdered and deported to silence and stifle the growth of urban black politics.
post 2
After analyzing the lecture, videos and readings I completely agree with Dr. Kendi regarding his argument on the deep impact of old racist ideas on policies. This
country was founded on hostile racist ideologies dating back to the 1600-1800’s when people from Caucasian decent came and slaughtered the indigenous people. From
there the enslavement of African people to work the land was birthed. The lecture made note that slavery would not have been justified without the implementation of
racist ideas. Furthermore, during the establishment of Philadelphia many free blacks traveled up north and faced terrifying conditions and endured brutal
circumstances. One video explained that “Philadelphia was not a nice place for a black person to live” in addition 1 out of 10 people owned slaves and those who did
not were not exclusive to the community and was looked down upon. One quote in particular that stood out to me reads “born into a free society but not to be free is to
be born into a lie”. Fast forward to present day African Americans are still being subjected to the racist culture of this country, instead of being in servitude we
are now heavily incarcerated. Touching base on the reading, black people are five times more likely to be incarcerated than whites, only a non educated and or racist
individual can read this statistic and not see this as distinguishing and an issue that needs addressing in our society. There are racial disparities in every aspect
of the United States and the texts argues that such disparities have existed and persisted. Racist ideas is the basis of this language and life to some people it is
their “common sense” Racist policies are a direct connection to racial disparities. Dr. Kendi says “hate and ignorance have not driven the history of racist ideas in
America. Racist policies have driven the history of racist ideas”. Moving on, this relates to Urban Black Politics because without racist ideas on policies there would
be no need for Urban Black Politics. Urban Black Politics exist because racism exists there is a need for a distinguished representative in politics to articulate the
racial disparities in my community.
Term paper Leadership
Term Paper (Due 09/23/17 at 12pm PST)
Please select a leadership topic and let me know what you decided and the reason why you choosen by 09/10/17 before 12pm (PST). (Must obtain approval 1st prior to proceeding beyond this point).
Student will submit a paper on the chosen company. The term paper should be in APA format and should be between 1,500 – 2,000 words. (The word count is just a guide). As long as you thoroughly address the points listed in the assignment, you may use as many words as it takes). Please remember to include a Cover page, Abstract, Table of Contents and Reference page. (These will not be counted in the word count).
Your paper should: (1) examine how the company uses leadership to enhance the integration of functions into the overall mission and vision of the organization; (2) perform an in-depth analysis of the internal operations of the company; (3) include your suggestions as to what the company could do to be more successful; (4) discuss management theories that could be utilized to increase the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness. Please remember to include the section headings listed below.
Your paper should include at least seven sources consisting of articles, newspapers, magazines, & on-line sources.
This paper is a business communication. Write it as if the person receiving it is the CEO or other key decision-makers of the organization. This means you do not want to include information that would be unnecessary for this person, such as the history of the organization. Build a compelling argument that the problem is serious enough to require organizational resources to solve. Follow this up with a set of recommendations that will solve the problem. The argument for these recommendations must be supported logically by what you discover in your analysis.
This paper is written in seven sections:
1. Problem Statement
A brief statement of a specific management related problem in a particular organization. Identify the cost, financial and others, of the organization not solving this problem. This is the most important and most difficult section of the paper and provides a foundation for the balance of the paper. Create a compelling argument on behalf of your view of the problem. Conclude this section with a clear question that you wish to answer through this paper. Write this question in the form of an open-ended question rather than one that can be answered with a yes or no. How well you answer this question becomes a key criterion for evaluating each of the next three sections.
2. Concept
Description of a concept chosen from the required readings (course text book) and how you expect this concept to help you successfully complete this analysis. Include a statement about why you believe this concept will help you answer your question. Present your concept in a form that will be useful in framing the analysis. (Do not present all you know about the concept. Demonstrate your knowledge of the concept and its elements by the effective way you present how you will use the concept to answer your question). Reflect in this section as to how this concept will provide a more useful view of the problem by pondering: What questions do you want to ask using the concepts which will help you answer your question? This is the section where journal articles can help you better understand your chosen concept and/or how to use them for analysis. Consider this section as your plan of action – what steps will you take to complete your analysis? This is not the section to provide descriptive information about your organization.
3. Analysis
Systematically ask the concept-framed question developed in the previous section to learn what is being done well and what could be improved. Answer your questions and draw conclusions from your answers. Do not introduce additional concepts in this section. If an additional concept is valuable, integrate it in a revised concept section. End this section with a list of conclusions you have drawn from your analysis. Collectively, these conclusions should directly answer your open-ended question and provide a foundation for your specific, actionable recommendations. In summary, this analysis section should be an execution of your plan developed in your concept section.
4. Recommendations
From what you have learned in your analysis, make recommendations for specific action that would improve the handling of the situation. These should address the problem presented in the first section. A definite thread should be seen from the question to the concept to the analysis to your recommendations. They should be readily identifiable, not buried in the midst of paragraphs. Remember, as a manager, you are expected to be able to understand situations and determine specific action to take. This is where you demonstrate you can identify specific, actionable recommendations. The work in the paper, to this point, should have created a compelling argument on behalf of your recommendations.
5. Evaluation
The fifth section of this paper is the opportunity for you to review your problem-solving process. In what ways did you find your definition of the problem useful in solving it? What were the strength and weaknesses of your choice of concepts? How well were you able to use an integration of the two chosen concepts to frame your analysis? How might you have integrated them differently? Is there another concept or two that might have been equally or more useful? Which ones and why? In what ways were you able to draw new conclusions about the problem through using this process?
6. Learning
The final section to this paper is not a typical conclusion. Do not summarize your paper. That is not necessary. Write a brief statement about what you learned about leadership from completing this assignment.
7. References
All articles, books, and other sources used to prepare your paper should be properly cited using APA guidelines. In the body of the paper, use in-line citations and summarize these sources in a reference list at the end of the paper. Your Team needs to use a minimum of seven references.

week 2 assigment 6900/Improving Population Health—Letter to the Editor
There are mechanisms in place that are used to improve population health, including (1) health statuses and outcomes, (2) determinant factors, and (3) interventions
that address determinant factors and improve outcomes (Joshi et al., 2014 p. 549). How health care is provided and how it can be improved is the focus of this
assignment, which lends itself to a perfect opportunity for you to put your analysis skills into practice. The Learning Resources section this week provides you with
data from the patient experience of care that also sheds light on expectations that have and have not been met. The Healthy People 2020 data provides measurements and
goals for health care into the future, along with reasons for achieving those goals.
For this Assignment, you will read a scenario, analyze an existing problem using the data/resources provided, and make recommendations to address the issues.
To prepare:
Review all Learning Resources for the week that relate to improving population health
The Assignment:
Read the following scenario:
The community of Springfield (population approximately 100,000) is made up of hardworking, mostly older, factory laborers who contributed to both the city and county
growth from the late 1950s through early 2005. Since the plant closed, many of the former workers have little to look forward to. There are few jobs available and they
are now aging; most are 60 years of age or older.
The Memorial Hospital has been in existence since the mid-1950s and has several primary care physicians and nurse practitioners, a couple of general surgeons, and one
cardiologist, but no cardiac surgeons.
Many nurses are recruited from the nearby community college, and the hospital serves as the facility for clinical rounds in their education.
The community is pretty sedentary, with the exception of an occasional game of horseshoes. Cigarette smoking is prominent.
Serious concerns surround the continued existence of the hospital because many residents seek and obtain health care services elsewhere.
Compare the population of this city to other problem areas using the Healthy People sources. The town’s population is approximately 100,000, making the comparison
fairly straightforward.
Using the information provided in the scenario and the:
HCAHPS Data and Healthy People 2020 Data
From this week’s Learning Resources, write a 2-page Letter to the Editor of the local paper that includes:
An evaluation of the issues that would be the focus on need for quality improvement
An analysis of existing problems/issues based on data/resources provided
2 or 3 recommended strategies to address each quality improvement issue
Note: Your Assignment must be written in standard edited English. Be sure to support your work with at least five high-quality references, including two from peer-
reviewed journals. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct. This Assignment
will be graded using this rubric: Week 2 Assignment Rubric (PDF). Your Assignment should show effective application of triangulation of content and resources in your
conclusion and recommendations.
