How do modern liberals weigh in on the best approach to the good society? How do these thinkers idealize the future or even delude themselves (if you think they do)? Whose views make more sense to you and why?

ONLY USE 1 SOURCE AND THAT IS FROM THE BOOK (TENTH EDITION: POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES AND THE DEMOCRATIC IDEAL BY TERENCE BALL, RICHARD DAGGER, DANIELL O’NEILL Compare and contrast modern conservative, modern liberal and socialist/social democratic views on how capitalist society today can or cannot provide the best possible outcome for the majority of people living within the system. Does socialism provide a viable alternative? Specifically, you should compare the views of the socialist theorists, modern liberals, and modern conservatives (including neoliberals or economic conservatives in the U.S.). What do writers on the left and right prescribe for the future of capitalism? How do modern liberals weigh in on the best approach to the good society? How do these thinkers idealize the future or even delude themselves (if you think they do)? Whose views make more sense to you and why?

Evaluate how Guelzo shows how Lincoln plunged deeply into the mainstream of nineteenth-century liberal democratic thought.

Appropriate Use of Transparency in Organizations

Discussion: Appropriate Use of Transparency in Organizations Consider the following two scenarios: Scenario 1 Employees work in an atmosphere of distrust and fear. Leaders make decisions behind closed doors. Changes to processes and staffing often occur unexpectedly without warning or explanation. A few select people are given information and guard it jealously. Most employees do not get an opportunity to give input or feedback. Scenario 2 Employees work in a small company where everyone knows everything about everyone and the rumor mill runs rampant. Leadership gives both praise and reprimands in public. They frequently discuss employees personal affairs. These scenarios illustrate two extremes of transparency in business. Maintaining the right degree of transparency is a challenge for many organizations. Some leaders operate their organizations with an open-book management style. Others believe in carefully maintaining the security of information. Leaders must determine the appropriate level of transparency necessary for their organizations to stay healthy. To prepare for this Discussion, consider your experience with transparency of information and decision making in organizations of which you have been a part, such as businesses or schools. By Day 3 Post your evaluation of the appropriate use of transparency in an organization. In your analysis, be sure to address the following: Explain what you believe to be the most appropriate level of transparency for an organization. Identify any instances in which transparency would not be a good strategy. Explain how a leader might exert influence-using transparency. Reading: Northouse, P. G. (2016).

Selling the Vision Leadership is not magnetic personalitythat can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing peoplethat is flattery.

Selling the Vision Leadership is not magnetic personalitythat can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing peoplethat is flattery. Leadership is lifting a persons vision to higher sights, the raising of a persons performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. Peter F. Drucker, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices Kotter (2001) identified creating a vision as one of the defining characteristics of leadership. Academics and business leaders alike seem to echo the sentiment; however, each offers his or her own guidelines and advice on how this critical task of setting a vision can be accomplished. As a scholar-practitioner in the field of business, you must draw on the work of others and add your voice to those developing a strategy for accomplishing this crucial leadership responsibility. More than that, you must develop a concrete mechanism for verifying the successful adoption of that vision. Even if you do not occupy a central leadership role, you can use the strategy you develop to help guide others in the field. To prepare for this Assignment, reflect on Dr. Craig Marshs case study. Consider his challenges as well as his strengths and how you have adopted a model for corporate change. This model should include your organizational change or cultural change model, steps you would take to change the culture, and the dissection and explanation of how these steps will influence each of the challenges you face. Also included will be the mitigation plan to address the challenges, the creation of your vision statement, and a description of how you will translate your vision into measurable objectives. This week you compile these elements into one PowerPoint presentation that is your strategic plan to sell your vision to your organizational team. By Day 7 Submit a 5- to 8-slide PowerPoint presentation, excluding title and References slides, that includes a leadership strategy for translating your vision into organizational success. In your PowerPoint presentation, do the following: Create your vision statement. Delineate your plan for how you will get others within the organization to adopt it as their own. In your plan, be sure to include the following: The organizational change or cultural change model you used as the basis for your plan An explanation of the steps you will take to change the culture and how these steps will influence each of the challenges you face A brief description of the mitigation plan to address the challenges Your PowerPoint presentation must contain a minimum of five scholarly resources on the last slide of the presentation. Additionally, in the Notes section of each slide, you must provide detailed support, including relevant citations, for the bulleted information within the slide. Your resources can be a combination of the Learning Resources used throughout this course and new scholarly resources.

Identify a particular targeted behavior, and or medical condition aimed at prevention of disease and health promotion related to your work setting or area of special interest, organization, and/or community agency.

The purpose of this executive brief paper is to identify how informatics can be incorporated into health promotion programs. Today our society uses technology, gaming and social media as a means to communicate and relate to one another. Numerous technological programs have been developed to target health promotion and disease prevention. In our contemporary Nursing practice we are challenged to tailor our educational programs to meet the demands of our technological society. We need to create culturally competent health promotion programs which are effective, timely, and reach the target audience. This project encourages you to identify a population of interest in your work site, or in your community, and begin to plan a program which proactively affects healthcare outcomes. For purposes of this paper you will not be required to enact the actual project, yet, research, plan, create, and outline the steps to completion.In the course webliography, and your textbooks you will find a vast array of organizations committed to providing health education tools for the practitioner, including technological interactive programs to promote healthy outcomes. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing recommends incorporating informatics in Masters level nursing programs to promote best contemporary practices.
