Assignment Description:
For this project, you will choose a commercial, film, comic strip (or any other form of entertainment that others find funny but you do not. (Note: The only format you man not use is a meme.) Your goal is to write an essay that analyzes the reasons that others find it funny. In order to do this, you should identify the target audience for the work, define the primary types of humor the creators employed, identify the ways (methods) the creators apply to deliver the humor to their audience.
Types of Humor – you should consider the readings and lectures from our class and give examples from the “text” (the source you have chosen to analyze) that support your claims. What are the primary features of this style of humor and how does this text fits these categories?
Target Audience – you should locate demographic information (data) by using library resources AND consider evidence within the “text” itself that give you clues as to the intended audience. Give specific, concrete examples of both.
Methods – this is a very important section that will vary greatly from essay to essay, depending on your chosen subject. Does the humor rely on outside references? Slapstick humor? Conflict between two characters? Sarcasm? Puns? Give examples that support your claims.
Conclusion – don’t forget to conclude your essay by explaining how/why you do not find the “text” funny. Your conclusion should be a culmination of all of the points made throughout your paper.
Formatting: 12 point, Times New Roman, double spaced. MLA documentation for sources and formatting for pagination, title and header, and margins.
**MUST USE SCHOLARLY SOURCES
* The length requirement approximates what the instructors believe an assignment of this scope might look like. Note that the actual scoring of the assignment is based entirely upon the RUBRICS. Where length is involved, writing clear, concise prose (see the rubric for Style) will shorten your essay. This is a good thing! Conversely, the rubric for Evidence requires that you include and analyze a sufficient amount of relevant evidence, which will lengthen your document. You should find that the tension between these two elements would land you, much like Goldilocks, at a length that is “just right.”
Essay fulfills all the requirements of Rating 5 and achieves a level of artistic mastery that may be marked by an innovative, authentic, and provocative thesis.
(Rating 5: Essay contains an analytic statement that is clear; that elaborates on multiple implications; that identifies non-obvious (surprising, counter-intuitive) complexities of meaning and implications; and that does so at a sophisticated level.)
Basically, choose a topic (Amy Schumer\’s vulgar comedy), discuss its elements (reference a work of hers), discuss the audience that finds it funny (and why) and discuss the audience that might not find it funny (and why). Use sources when referring to one of her pieces, when analyzing the audience type, and the comedy type.

The Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions: Asian and European countries data analysis in stata
Read the following case study scenario and follow the directions below.
The senior management of a large Midwestern nursing home gathered data on its quality of patient care and patient safety. They found that the quality of patient care and safety in the nursing home was deficient. To solve the problem, the managers, with the help of a total quality management expert, implemented a sophisticated continuous quality improvement (CQI) process with structured monthly meetings to review relevant data.
Except for the senior nurse manager, other clinical employees did not participate or receive information on the deliberations of the meetings. While the top managers were very satisfied that the CQI addressed the problem in a systematic and formal manner, the clinical staff employees were very frustrated in their efforts to report medical errors. This was because, for every medication error, staff members were assigned one point and disciplined after three points. They could even be terminated as the disciplinary process progressed. The points accumulated over the year were also used to determine the annual salary increases and promotions of the nurses.
Based on the above performance appraisal system, the nursing home reported an improvement in the reduction of medication errors. However, adverse clinical outcomes for patients remained unchanged. To investigate this problem, the top management team hired a new HR consultant. After promising that all information would be strictly confidential, the consultant was able to convince the clinical staff to talk freely about the problem of patients with adverse outcomes. In fact, the clinical staff admitted not filling out incident reports because of the punitive reporting system and expressed concern about the disconnection between the nursing homes goal of improving medication safety practices and the nursing homes approach to error.
1.What would you do when implementing a CQI process to reduce medical errors?
2.How would you change the incident reporting and performance appraisal systems?
Present your ideas in a 3 page APA-formatted paper with three references plus the textbook (listed below). Additional references must be reliable sources retrieved from the library, internet, or elsewhere.
Requirements
Understand the important role that performance appraisal plays in managing human resources (HR) in health care organizations.
See the connection of performance management function with other key HR
functions of recruitment/selection, training/development, and compensation and rewards.

Paper utilizes materials presented in the textbook and three outside sources in a 3 page document.

This week, we\’ve been reading about Canadian nationalism and what it means to be Canadian. The sociologist, Seymour Lipset argued that one the benefits of studying Canadian society for Americans is that we can learn about ourselves as Americans from our similarities and differences. What did you find most interesting in the ways Canadians construct and contest their national identity, including the things we take for granted like flags and anthems and things we may have thought about like coffee and donuts? What aspect of being an American (or Chinese or whatever nationality/identity you may claim) do you understand better or have become aware of by learning about Canadian nationalism?

She hopes to meet with a dietitian next week, but in the meantime, she needs help making these changes.
List five suggestions for Mrs. Smiths diet. Provide only changes that address the goals with her meal planning as mentioned above. Tell her which food she should omit and with what you would replace it. You may also change portion sizes.
