Intentionally deceiving in ”All The King’s men”

/in /by

Many works of literature contain a character who intentionally deceives others. The characters dishonesty may
be intended either to help or to hurt. Such a character, for example, may choose to mislead others for personal safety,
to spare someones feelings, or to carry out a crime. Choose a novel or play in which a character deceives others.
Then, in a well-written essay, analyze the motives for that characters deception and discuss how the deception
contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole.

The character I’m using is Huey Long in “All the King’s men”

Preparedness, Response, and Recovery

Preparedness, Response, and Recovery

Over the last couple years it seems the number and severity of natural disasters has markedly increased. Since the low point of the response to Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent legislation to fix the federal response to disasters, is the Department of Homeland Security doing better in its coordinated responses? Is the current National Response Framework working? How do we balance the response and the need for controlling budget costs? In this assignment select one national level response to a hurricane, wild fire, or other natural hazard to evaluate the preparedness, response, and recovery efforts to the event. Your response should be written from a local, state, or federal perspective. Or you may examine the response from the perspective of a not-for-profit such as the International Red Cross of the Salvation Army.

To begin your research for this assignment, go to the Ashford University Library and conduct a search with the keywords Federal Response to Disasters. It is recommended that you do not use quotation marks for this search.
In your paper,
    Summarize the natural disaster.
    Evaluate the response from a local, state, or federal perspective.
    Identify the core issues that delayed or hindered the response.
    Identify what went right with the disaster response.
    Analyze the current Department of Homeland Security processes and procedures to determine their effectiveness for similar future disasters.
The Preparation, Response, and Recovery paper
    Must be two to three double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to.
    Must use at least two scholarly sources in addition to the course text.
o    The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types.
    Must document all sources in APA style

Research Analysis for Uber Technologies

/in /by

• Include a cover page with your name, your company, the term, and course name.
• Begin your paper on a new page with an Executive Summary that is no more than 1 page long. Brief
instructions for writing an Executive Summary.
• Begin the body of the paper on a new page. You must use the following main sections for your final paper,
with a heading (in Ariel Bold 14 point font) for each of these sections:
o Situation Analysis
This section explores the context and background of the problem-solving situation for your chosen company,
and it should start on a new page after the Executive Summary. This is the only section that starts on a new
page! This is where you attempt to understand the organization’s goals, mission/vision, and key stakeholders,
and it will guide the rest of your problem-solving activity. This is where you should include financial background
information, a competitive overview, and SWOT analysis. Create relevant charts and graphs that will give the
reader a concise, yet complete, picture of what happening with the company at this point in time.
o Problem Analysis & Description
Use this section to explore the critical issues facing the organization and ultimately define and describe a
problem that will be your focus for the remainder of the paper. In other words, you will solve the problem
identified and described in this section in the following sections of the paper. Gather additional data to support
issues identified in the Situation Analysis, analyze that data, identify key symptoms, prioritize these symptoms,
and find connections and relationships between them, if any. Symptoms are the indicators of the ultimate
problem. They are the “gaps” talked about in the course video. Provide a clear, focused problem description by
the end of the section. Be specific. Include numbers, if you can. Back it up with data gathered during your
research. Use some root cause analysis to ensure that you aren’t mistaking symptoms for causes. Refer back
to the Situation Analysis section and note any new stakeholders and any conflicts with the corporation’s
mission and vision. As I finish reading this section, I should have a clear idea of the problem you are solving
throughout the rest of the paper. If there is no single cause for your problem, list the range of possible causes.e
o Solutions, Evaluation & Recommendation
Based on the problem described in the previous section, develop at least two possible solutions and
describe them in as much detail as possible given the constraints of the paper. This is the decision-making part
of the paper. Use a weighted-criteria decision matrix to evaluate the solutions and make an informed
recommendation. Use a Cost/Benefit Analysis as part of your decision-making, either comparing the net
benefits of the various options or to show the Net Benefit of your final recommendation. By the end of this
section, you should make a clear choice, and present a strong case for why you made that choice. Convince
the reader.
o Implementation & Success Metrics
To the extent possible, prepare a brief discussion of how your solution can be implemented.
Develop a set of measures that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of your solution in delivering
proposed benefits. Discuss when, how often, and how the solution should be evaluated.
• Your analysis must make use of a 10-K, an industry profile, as well as a variety of other relevant sources that
help you take a strong position, including data from your SWOT analysis. Don’t just rehash your SWOT
Analysis in the Situation Analysis. Write a narrative that summarizes all of the relevant information needed for
the reader to understand how you got to your conclusions about the problem identification. Imagine the reader
knows nothing about this company. Tell them enough so that the remainder of the paper makes sense. This is
a research paper, where you must support your claims and conclusions with the sources uncovered during
your research.
• The narrative body of your paper (excluding cover page, executive summary, graphics like charts, tables, and
graphs, and reference list) must be between 10 and 15 pages of text using 12-point Times Roman, with 1 inch
margins (left, right, top and bottom), left-justified and double-spaced.
• Follow APA style for citation
