Start writing here:

Question 2

Setting a vision or desired future state is the process of defining the desired pathway for a technologys deployment. Before using robots or RPA in your organization, you will need to identify what you hope to achieve. Using Porters three generic strategies as a reference, describe how robots or RPA will impact cost leadership, differentiation, or focus to give you a competitive edge.

Be sure to outline your desired future state where robots or RPA are used in the organizational processes you discussed in Question 1. (Max. 200 words in total.)

Start writing here:

Question 3

Consider the technical and leadership or managerial requirements of rolling out robots or RPA across the areas you have identified in Question 1. Cover the following questions in your answer:

Who should be involved in implementing the proposed initiative, and what should the scope of their roles be?
Define your own role in the implementation of your proposed initiative and justify why this role is important?
How does the proposed initiative fit in with the business strategy and IT strategy?
What are some technical considerations and requirements for implementation?
(Max. 300 words in total.)

Examining Quantitative and Qualitative Research Studies for Field Practice Implications

Choose two current empirical research studies that address the problem within urban settings (e.g., health disparities, homeless).

Thoroughly compare the research methods and report the findings. Pay attention to statistics used and generalizability. (Articles must be dated 2005 and beyond).

What are the findings?

Are diversity issues, social, economic, and environmental issues addressed?

Any ethical dilemmas presented or implied?

Does the article support social work values and ethics? NASW SOCIAL WORK VALUES AND ETHICS ARE ATTACHED

Is a theoretical framework discussed, and if so, does it fit the client population served at your field internship? YES. FIELD INTERNSHIP IS AT THE OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC DEFENDER FOR BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND USA

Discuss the best practice model (implicit or explicit) in the articles, and whether you would assess and intervene with clients using it?

If a best model is not presented, based on your knowledge of social work conceptual frameworks what would you suggest?

If both articles present a best practice model, which one seems more relevant to guide urban social work practice concerning the problem?

What did you learn about the problem from the statistics presented in the articles?

related to American government

Select a topic related to American government, research the topic and write a paper explaining: 1) why you selected the topic; 2) how it relates to the class; and 3) an in-depth analysis of the topic. The analysis should include a discussion of what you learned about the topic, how your research affected your way of thinking and how what you learned will affect your actions in the future. The report should be a maximum of 2000 words and should cite to at least 5 sources.

You will be graded on:

Your topic selection and how well you persuade me that it relates to the class;
The depth and content of your reasoning, logic and analysis;
The clarity of presentation; and
Organization, grammar, spelling, etc.

Presentation 2: Regional Christianity

As with the first presentation, this second presentation will involve creating a set of at least 8 slides and then recording a 4- to 5-minute video/audio narration of those slides.  Points will be deducted for going beyond 5 minutes, so carefully craft your presentation to feature the important highlights.  You will be using Canvas Studio (Links to an external site.).

Unlike your first, this presentation will be on a modern region of the world and the growth/decline of Christianity in that region (see below). This second presentation must include the following as separate components:

An introduction to the current state of Christianity in the region (minority/majority status, growth/decline, unique characteristics/factors, etc.)
A survey of the growth or decline of Christianity in the region from 1970 to the present (and projected to 2020)
Your assessment of the positive and negative aspects of the Christian presence in the region
Helpful and relevant maps, images, and quotations from the following sources should be included throughout the presentation slides. Don’t pack your slides with content (that’s distracting); rather, carefully select what is most applicable and enhances your narration. Be sure to cite your sources on the slide you use them on, and include a Works Cited page at the end of the presentation.

Christianity in its Global Context, 1970-2020Preview the document
For this presentation, select 1 of the regions below by posting its title in the discussion. A maximum of 5 students may select any single region, so post your selection early. Wait for the instructor to reply to your post with approval before beginning your research.

Africa (NO choices left.  Choose another region.)
Asia (4 spots left for choice)
Europe (1 spot left for choice)
Latin America (1 spot left for choice)
Northern America (2 spots left for choice)
Oceania (5 spots left for choice)
When your selection has been approved, or you have selected and been approved for an alternate region, begin your research by using the study report Christianity in its Global Context, 1970-2020Preview the document and Noll’s book (even if you need to read ahead a bit). You must make significant use of this study report (and at least reference Noll’s book) as you prepare your presentation, but you will need to use a few additional sources as well, which you will need to find on your own. Use reliable internet resources, a few of which are linked above.
