Identify your earliest exposure to people who were racially or culturally different from you through movies, television shows, or music.

What was your age?

Who was the person and how was he or she different?

What impressions did you have about these people from these media? From a cultural pluralist’s perspective, do you think this experience was positive or negative for you?

Select one (1) moral philosophy (teleology, deontology, relativist perspective, virtue ethics, or justice) that has influenced the outcome of an ethical dilemma that you have witnessed. Provide one (1) example of the way in which this moral philosophy influenced the outcome of an ethical dilemma in a past or present organization. Note: Please do not identify workplaces or leaders by name. Examine Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. Determine the stage of Kohlberg’s moral development that your current, or past, organization and coworkers are in. Provide one (1) example of your current, or past, organization and coworkers that illustrates the stage of Kohlberg’s moral development.

Discuss the strategic, tactical and operational roles of the procurement.

Suppose you are choosing between the following two algorithms:

Algorithm A: solves problems of size n by recursively solving two subproblems each of size (n-1) and then combining the solutions in constant time (take T(0) = 0).

Algorithm B: solves problems of size n by recursively solving one subproblem of size (n-1) and then combining the solution in (log n) time (take T(1) = 0).

• Write down the recurrence relations for the above algorithms.                          
• Solve the recurrence relations to find the exact number of operations for each of these two algorithms in terms of (n). Arrange the algorithms in increasing complexity.                

Research shows that on campus break-ins at CSUN and UCLA during the past 24 months averaged 15 and 12 per month, respectively, with unbiased standard deviations of 4 and 3, respectively. Use the five steps of hypothesis testing to see if there a significant difference between these numbers on the two campuses (Use P<.01, alpha = 2.819)

How does nutrition, health care, and stress affect development?

How would you deal with a patient who was non-compliant? For example, let us say that you see a patient and within your scope of practice develop a treatment, therapy, or provide education for this patient. On this patient's next visit, you discover they've followed none of your advice. How would you proceed?

After building a regression model and performing residual diagnostics, you notice that the errors show severe departures from normality and appear to have nonconstant variance. What steps would you take in this case to resolve the errors? If the problems are not corrected after all steps are taken, what does that imply about the modeling approach you are taking? Explain in detail.

Type down (easy to copy and paste) your thoughts (ie, agree or disagree and why ? ) after reading the following paragraph. (must be 5 sentences, 1 paragraph. 150-250 words)

Jon Bowers argues that we should seek perfection. Moreover, he states that perfection is achievable and the steps needed to obtain it will only make you stronger and better. He believes that failure and loss may come from trying to seek perfection but that these steps are necessary for success. He gives several examples regarding why we should not settle for giving 100%. I do not agree with him as I believe that nothing and no one in this world is perfect, and will never be able to be perfect. I believe that perfection does not exist, and although we can try to achieve it we should not allow our lives to be determined by the outcomes we obtain. To further substantiate his argument, Bower’s mentions that we have “stopped valuing perfection” and that this is wrong because “perfectionism is an attitude developed in the small things and then applied to the bigger things”. In other words, he thinks that if you do not aim for perfection in the little things, which are the ones that matter, you will never be able to take care of the big things. Later on he also gives some examples like saying that if we allow things to be “good enough” then we will make mistakes all around. This includes giving babies to their wrong parents, spelling words wrong in the dictionary or having more than 1 million cards with the wrong information on the magnetic strip on the back. I do not agree with these statements because I think he is over exaggerating. I do not think that we should settle for good enough but I don’t think that we do. We aim to make things perfect but mistakes are a part of human life. As humans we will make a mistake at some point and we can only accept it and move on. I believe that striving for perfection in all cases is not reasonable and will really only make us unhappy because this is ultimately unachievable. Instead, we should work on the way we handle our mistakes and learn to move on so we can do better the next time.

What were the main reasons for the United States, Canada, and Mexico to sign on to the original NAFTA? After more than 20 years, has NAFTA delivered the benefits expected? How might NAFTA be improved to the benefit of all three members’ countries?

I need some topics I could potentially write a 20 page research paper about. It has to be specifically about some sort of problem within the U.S. Economy or Economic Policy. I need a potential research question, it has to be something specific please.

Managing and Monitoring of Clinical Trials

1. Explain the satellite site expectations when participating in a clinical trial.

2. Discuss the expectation for satellite sites and activities around monitoring the satellite sites. You will be graded on 5 facts and your elaboration of those facts.  

(In this scenario - assume you are the assigned monitor. Three satellite sites all located Raleigh. Discuss what you would look for to support this type of set up.)
