Paper Length: 5-6 pages (not counting the title page or work cited) The purpose of this assignment is to give you a unique opportunity to research, in depth, one of several key figures in psychology. 

What should be included in your assignment…….Who was he/she? What was his/her psychological perspective? What was his/her major contributions to the field? How significant was/are the contributions?

SOURCES: You are required to use at least 4 different sources for your paper. Of these 4 sources at least 2 must be book sources. This means you must go to a library or bookstore and do some legwork. You can use as many sources over 4 as you want, just again to repeat, two must be book sources.

I DO NOT want to see the textbook used as a primary source; you may use it as a 5th source if you choose but DOES NOT count as one of the required book sources. Also, WIKIPEDIA is NOT to be  used as a source PERIOD.

Media and health quality

/in /by

This assignment, you will assess how the general public’s perception of healthcare quality is influenced by the mass media.

Locate an article that reports on the quality of healthcare services. The article must be sourced from the mass media and not from an academic or healthcare journal. The purpose of this assignment is to review information reported to the general public in a news source that does not exclusively cover healthcare issues. Weekly magazines, such as Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, Forbes, Money, and Consumer Reports, and newspapers, such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, would be appropriate choices. The article may give various examples of good or bad quality instead of covering just one episode of care. Your selected article must be a comprehensive review or assessment of some aspect of healthcare services. Summarize the article. Be certain to indicate the basis for the report, that is, whether it is the result of academic research, an independent investigation, or something else.

Answer the following questions.

– Summarize what conditions, processes, or events are noted as good quality or poor quality healthcare in the article. What is your own assessment of these conditions, processes, or events? Explain.

– Does the article assign responsibility to persons or processes for the problems or achievements it reports? Does it provide sufficient evidence for assigning responsibility? Explain your answers.

– Assess the suggestions for healthcare quality improvement in the article.
Explain your reaction to this article as a consumer of healthcare services. In answering this question, note how the article uses language and any persuasive techniques.

– Explain your reaction to this article as a provider of healthcare services. Why is this reaction the same as or different from your reaction as a consumer?

– Is the article fair in its reporting and assessing healthcare quality? Why or why not?

The aims of this essay will be for you to accomplish the following: 1) present an argument (with your own unique thesis) about this important literary text; 2) back up that argument with evidence from the primary text; 3) offer your argument and evidence within a clear pattern of organization and convincing analysis; and 4) write clearly, logically, concisely, and correctly, including correct usage of Modern Language Association in-text citations for all quotes and specific references to the play.

Include a Works Cited page at the end of your essay.

You may use ADDITIONAL course reading materials in this essay. (In fact, if used meaningfully, this may make for a stronger essay.) And if youre interested in ADDING texts to your discussion only to illustrate points about your analysis of the play, by all means do so–just talk with me first; otherwise, do not use external sources.

The essay should be no less than 4 pages long (double spaced, with 1-inch margins and in a 12-point font).  Below are some suggestions as to literary and/or critical issues or themes. You may also devise your own topic; if you do so, you must discuss your idea with me in advance so that I can ensure that your topic is sufficiently complex and suitably focused.

Respond to ONE of these two questions in your essay:
1.    What is the significance of point of view in RGAD? And what is the significance of experimentation with point of view in RGAD? (Think of what Stoppard is doing and commenting on greater than the play itself.)

How does RGAD embrace unconventionality AND adhere to a literary tradition? For what reasons does this play attempt both? And to what extent does the play appear to be commenting that the unconventional is necessary in literature now?
