students should select a historical event/social change that interests them. they will need at least 3 credible sources to support/develop their paper. consider their peers as their audience and their instructor as an editor. 1″ margins for the entire document; heading information on the left side of the document (double spaced); title centered; 12pt Times New Roman font; document double spaced; all paragraphs indented; in-text citation format; work Cited page
a) draw upon McNally’s chapters “Globalization: It’s Not About Free Trade”, “The Invisible Hand
is a Closed Fist”, and “Freedom Song” (Ch. 2, 3, 7, in AWIP) and “Toward A Great Resistance”
(in Global Slump) as well as 12 additional academic sources. I ask you to do this so that you
provide an economic and political context to the analysis of your movement.
b) Make reference to McNally’s discussion of the “forms of struggle” or methods of struggle (direct
action, mass mobilization, and participatory democracy) in the social movement you are
examining. In other words, to what extent does the movement you examine base its struggle on
these forms or methods? Why is this significant?
c) Use a method of citation that includes footnotes or endnotes (along with a bibliography).
Possible Topics:
1. What are/were the strengths and weaknesses of the Occupy movement, or the Quebec Student
Protests/Movement which morphed into a larger movement against austerity? You probably want
to make reference to the different forms of struggle either of these movement utilized, the
movement’s relation to the state, the movements demands (political clarity), its organizational
durability etc.
2. What role do third world immigrants play in the economies of wealthy countries like Canada and
the US? How can a movement be built to defend such a vulnerable sector of the labour force?
3. Had the Canadian trade union movement been successful in the last decade in its stated goals of
defending the rights and incomes of working people? Why or why not? Is the present form of the
trade union movement in Canada a barrier to its success? Why is the labour movement despite its
problems central to challenging the power of capital?
4. What are the key issues facing the feminist movement (or Queer movement) & women’s rights
today? What challenges, if any, does the “backlash” pose to organizing for women’s rights?
5. To what extent can meaningful social justice, in Canada and/or internationally, be won in the
present capitalist system? What, if any, are the limits to this system? Is there an alternative? Is a
more democratic alternative than liberal democracy and capitalism possible or desirable? To what
political, economic, and democratic end should these movements be ultimately striving?
6. Many social movements (gay rights, feminist, environmental, anti-poverty, indigenous, unions
etc) in Canada commonly make recourse to the court system as a central part of their political
strategy (charter challenges for example). How effective is this strategy? Are there limits to it?
7. Is the electoral arena an important space to win social gains? Can real change only be won outside
the electoral arena? You may want to examine the NDP or another social democratic party
elsewhere and it’s relationship with social movements. Does it represent their interests? Should
social movements and political parties work together?
8. Is violence justified in a movement’s struggle for social change? If yes, under what
circumstances? Should there be limits? If no, how can real significant social change be won
through non-violent means given the state’s proven tendency to resist this? In your paper, clarify
the definition of “violence” (is there a difference between violence against property and violence
against persons, for example?). What are the implications of defining a blockade as violence?
Situate your analysis within the context of the increasing criminalization of protest.
9. Identify an historical social movement (in Canada or internationally, such as the Paris Commune
in 1871 or Spain in 1936 for example) and describe what it was about (who was involved and
what they were organizing for). Analyze how the state and business elite responded to its demands
and whether you think it was successful. Has it directly or indirectly shaped your life in any way
today?
10. Analyze a contemporary case study of democratic movements for social change or anti-austerity
struggles (think Egypt, Tunisia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Iceland, etc). Analyze how the state
and business elite responded to its demands and whether you think it was successful. Has it
directly or indirectly shaped your life in any way today?
Describe and explain how September 11 influenced the evolution of emergency management. Describe one key challenge to emergency management, and explain why it is a challenge. Describe at least two strategies to address the challenge you identified, and explain why each might be effective.
Was the conversion of theaters from silent pictures, or pictures with live music, to theaters with synchronized sound, a good economic decision in America during the 1920s and 1930s?
The bulk of the paper is comprised of primary sources but secondary sources should be used as well.

as a new HIM consultant you have landed your first client! A behavioral health center recently had a site survey for accreditation and they were cited because the physician credentialing process was “sloppy and amateur”. They have hired you as a HIM consultant to create a record keeping process summary and tool for their work with credentialing physicians. Use a Microsoft application, either Excel, or Access to keep track of the elements and feel free to use whatever software tools you wish beyond that. You should make your tool and summary as professional as possible so that it could be deployed to the facility rapidly.
Credentialing Process Lab – Requirements
1. Prepare a process summary that details the internal physician credentialing process.
2. Create a form or internal tracking tool (MS Excel, MS Access, etc.) to be used by the facility to oversee the credentialing process.
3. You may make up a facility name and details about the facility as you wish. Make your tool appealing and professional.
4. Presentation and professionalism counts! Assume that the accredting body will be returning to reanalyze the facility.
Use the handout “Ten Things to Know about Physician Credentialing” and the short video “Three Questions every HCO Should Ask” to help get you started on this project.
