Hi, I need help with essay on Women strangth. Paper must be at least 750 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

All of this is understood to have contributed to the character of the woman who shuffles her way to town. Not until the end does Welty tell us that Phoenix is making this difficult trip in order to get the medicine her chronically-ill grandson needs in order to breathe. By the end of the story, the character Phoenix Jackson is seen as a fully developed human being despite the short space of time in which she is introduced. Through symbolic imagery and careful organization, Welty is able to present Phoenix Jackson in loving detail as a fully fledged human being rather than simply as a character.

At the opening of the story, the reader joins Phoenix at a point on her path where she is in an evergreen forest. This forest is described as being full of springy needles and bright sun. In this story, the pine trees symbolize the springiness and sunshine of youth. Pine wood is a soft wood which means it’s easier to bend it and shape it to new purposes. This is an example of what Phoenix was like as a young girl. In youth, she was still full of bright hopes and dreams that were often “almost too bright to look at” (142). However, pine wood is also very easy to damage with its softer skin, and Phoenix herself was also vulnerable to these dangers. However, she is no longer so vulnerable as she proves herself capable of defending herself against any rustle she hears in the thicket, “Out of my way, all you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals!’ … Under her small black-freckled hand her cane, limber as a buggy whip, would switch at the brush as if to rouse up any hiding things” (143). The upward slope of the pine forest symbolizes Phoenix’s maturing out of childhood as much as it can be seen to be the struggle of the black race out of slavery. While that was a difficult struggle in itself, it wasn’t the last hurdle to be overcome

Need help with my writing homework on The Cross-Cultural Care Survey to Assess Cultural Competency. Write a 500 word paper answering;  The Cross-Cultural Care Survey to Assess Cultural Competency

Abstract

The essay aims to present a brief written summary of a journal article’s content and one written question on the implications for practice in the student’s area of health care, which is health management. The article to be summarized for this purpose is entitled “Using the Cross-Cultural Care Survey to Assess Cultural Competency in Graduate Medical Education” written by Chun, et.al. and published in the Journal of Graduate Medical Education in March 2010.

“Using the Cross-Cultural Care Survey to Assess Cultural Competency

in Graduate Medical Education”

Summary of the Article

The article entitled “Using the Cross-Cultural Care Survey to Assess Cultural Competencyin Graduate Medical Education” written by Chun, Yamada, Hun, Hew and Tasaka (2010) proffered pertinent issues relative to assessing appropriate tools to measure the competencies of resident physicians in addressing multicultural concerns affecting diverse patients across various cultural orientations. Chun, et.al. used the Cross-Cultural Care Survey (CCCS) as the “multidimensional tool to assess knowledge (preparedness),skill, attitudes, and quantity of cultural content integratedinto a resident training program” (Chun, Yamada, Huh, Hew, & Tasaka, 2010, p. 97). As explicitly indicated, the authors primary objective for conducting the study was identified as enhancing “the feasibility and further provide support for thevalidity and reliability of this tool for use in assessingcultural competency among residents across specialties.

The authors first a sought the approval for revising the CCCS to enhance comprehensive ability and to update the applicability of the survey to current knowledge, attitudes and skills identified in the health care setting. The survey was conducted using 84 participants who are residents of four identified specialties located in a community-based health institution. As disclosed, two relevant variables were used in the study, to wit: “(1) whether residents were able to treat patients who speaka language other than English, and (2) whether they wereborn in the United States or another country. An additionalsection asked participants about the extent of cross-culturalcare training beyond medical school” (Chun, Yamada, Huh, Hew, & Tasaka, 2010, p. 97).

The results of the study revealed that the CCCS was a valid and effectively reliable tool in measuring the preparedness of the residents in addressing and providing health care to the diverse cultural needs of the patients. In detail, the following findings were eminent:

“The CCCS assesses residents’ perceived culturalcompetence in the 3 arenas most often represented inmodels of cross-cultural care: (1) self-reported knowledge asreflected in preparedness to treat specific types of patients,manage specific issues and situations, or to provide certainservices. (2) self-assessment of skills. and (3) attitudes aboutthe importance of cross-cultural care and desire to workwith diverse patient populations” (Chun, Yamada, Huh, Hew, & Tasaka, 2010, p. 99).

Implications for designing training programs on cultural competence and appropriate limitations were likewise noted. as well as the need for future research in developing training programs that address culturally diverse patients.

Implications for Practice

The implications of the study are relevant in current delivery of health care and in managing health care practitioners with regards to the kind of cultural training needed to increase competencies, knowledge and attitudes towards cultural diversity of patients. As revealed, increased training, in conjunction with good role models contribute to increased development of skills that address cultural competence in health care. However, it was also emphasized that the kinds of training approaches need to be evaluated to ensure their effectiveness in developing competency levels. The question therefore that one developed is: In the area of health management, what particular approach in training for improving cultural competency would be deemed most effective to work with culturally diverse patients?

A good understanding of the macroeconomic cycle with alternating recession and expansion periods (also known as the business cycle) is important for various decision makers. Macroeconomic policy is often based on predictions of this cycle, and such predictions can influence investment decisions of large companies. Central banks and other institutions often publish so-called leading indicators that are helpful to predict the state of the economy. These indicators are based on macroeconomic series like job formation, interest rates, credit, demand, and supply. In this case project you will predict GDP growth by using quarterly data on a hypothetical economy from 1950 quarter 1 to 2015 quarter 4. The data set contains the GDP of the economy and two leading indicators li1 and li2. In order to evaluate the predictive performance of econometric models, you need to split the data in two parts. As estimation sample you take the period from 1951 to 2010 (240 observations), and as evaluation sample you take the period from 2011 to 2015 (20 observations). The first year of data (1950) is used only to create lags of variables. The project consists of two parts. In the first part (a-c) you use logit models to predict whether the economic situation improves or declines, and in the second part (d-g) you use time series models to predict the size of the growth rate of the economy.

Need help with my writing homework on Transitional Justice in Post-Communist and Post-Conflict Societies: The Case of Ukraine. Write a 6500 word paper answering; Impairing three centuries of colonial subjugation when it finally attained its independence in 1991, Ukraine has faced tremendous difficulties in instituting democracy, taking in a rule of law. The country became a member of the Council of Europe in 1995, willingly committing itself to carry out duties regarding the implementation of a new democratic regime, the framing of new criminal and civil laws, the reorganization of the legal system and the harmonizing of its constitution with European principles and values of freedoms and human rights. The enactment of a constitution in June 1996 articulating Ukraine’s aim to adopt a rule of law was summoned by the Council of Europe.

The National Commission for the Strengthening of Democracy and the Rule of Law, an organization founded in 2005 within the presidential secretariat to check and examine adherence to the Copenhagen standards for potential membership in the European Union (EU), endorsed a draft model for the restructuring of the criminal justice system which suggests extensive reforms aspiring to improve criminal legislation and reorganize the entire system based on human rights. But in general there is less democracy in Ukraine at present than there was a decade ago. Ukraine is in evasion of its duties under the provisions of its membership to the Council of Europe, the legal system on the whole remains corrupt, disorganized, and incompetent, executive and legislative inflexibility have left programs in relation to Ukraine’s obligations delayed in a legislative pit, and corruption is widespread in the public administration of Ukraine. Therefore, Ukraine’s perception of the law is defined by suspicion and distrust.
