Title: The Power of Forgiveness in “The Scarlet Ibis” In the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, the theme of forgiveness is evident throughout the narrative. The story follows the relationship between two brothers, the
Select one of those stories and explore what you identify as the theme of that story with the evidence and textual support that leads you to that conclusion. While there may be more than one theme per story, you only need to explore one here.
Keep in mind that theme is more than a subject, so the theme is NOT going to be something generic like “Love” or “Greed.” Theme is the message of the story. Theme extends beyond the characters of a story and often relays a universal message that can be easily understood by the audience. Refer to your assigned reading from the textbook covering theme, if necessary. Remember, as indicated in this week’s lecture, that whatever you identify as the theme must be supported in the story. Therefore, be sure to use textual evidence to show how the story supports your conclusion of what you identify as a theme from your selected story.
There can be multiple themes per story, and each person is going to read the story differently based on personal experiences. The important thing is that you can find points of the story to support your answer and nothing in the story conflicts with your identified theme.
So, select your story, identify a theme, and be specific in laying out the support. -

Title: “Comparing and Contrasting U.S. Cold War Foreign Policies in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East”
Directions: Although, overall, containment was the Cold War policy used by the U.S., this policy was implemented in different ways depending on the country and circumstances. In some areas, this meant financial support of anti-Communist governments, while in others, the U.S. sent a large number of military personnel to fight what they perceived as Communist threats. Using the information from this section of the Unit, your United States History & Geography textbook, and any outside resources you may need, compare (find similarities) and contrast (find differences) the United States’ Cold War foreign policy in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Make sure you support your statements with historical evidence, such as specific historical events or presidential policies.
Use the steps of the Writing Process and the Text Editor to write a five-paragraph essay that follows this format:
In your first paragraph, introduce your topic and state your thesis.
In your second paragraph, discuss the similarities between U.S. foreign policies during the Cold War.
In your third paragraph, discuss the differences between U.S. foreign policies during the Cold War.
In your fourth paragraph, discuss which policy you believe was most effective and why. Which policy do you think was least effective and why?
In your fifth paragraph, briefly summarize your thesis and main points as a conclusion.
Events and policies you may want to consider include:
the Korean War.
the Vietnam War.
the Suez crisis.
the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Title: Job Analysis for Registered Nurse Position
In conducting a job analysis, there are two areas: (1) job-based and (2) person-based structure. For this assignment, identify the needed knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs); the tasks, duties, and responsibilities (TDRs); and any other specifics for a registered nurse’s position.
We will be using research efforts to complete the assignment. Refer to the BLS website to identify and collect needed data/basic information about a registered nurse’s position. Utilize to the A-Z Index to access information on registered nurses.
Then, use the following website to create your own structure-based analysis: www.onetonline.org. Follow the steps listed below for the www.onetonline.org website to access the needed information.

KSAs,
tasks,
work activities and detailed work activities,
technology skills,
tools used,
wages, and
an explanation of what a job analysis is and its purpose.
Check the appropriate boxes (see below for required information).
Click GO.
Once the data is collected, complete an eight- to ten-slide PowerPoint presentation about the job-based and person-based structure needed for the registered nurse’s position.
As you create the content slides for your presentation, be sure to use the speaker notes function to explain the content in detail for each of the slides. Imagine you are presenting to your company leaders.

Ethical Standards in Human Services: A Biblical Perspective
Discussion Thread:
Ethical Standards
Please read this thread and reply to this thread must
replies of at least 150 words, must demonstrate course-related knowledge
and support assertions
with at
least 2 scholarly citations in APA format. Acceptable sources include the class
textbook
and/or
peer-reviewed articles from within the last five years. Class book Martin, M. E. (2022). Introduction to human services: Through the
eyes of practice settings. (5th ed). Pearson.
Of the
44 ethical standards outlined by the National Organization of Human Services, I
chose the following that I thought best showed Biblical themes:
·
Standard 1 states,
“Human service professionals recognize and build on client and community
strengths” (Ethical standards, 2024). From a biblical perspective (also
commonly known as the ‘Golden Rule’) Jesus said, “And just as you want men to
do to you, you also do to them likewise” (NKJV, 1982, Matthew 7:12). This
standard is important in laying a foundation of treating all well. Not only so
the professional does what is ethical, but purposely chooses to treat others
with the same care and desire for a person’s growth as they would for their own
life. The key here is to draw out people’s strengths rather than a primary
focus on weaknesses. “Great leaders help employees lead great lives of meaning
and purpose by inspiring them to embrace a mission to enrich the lives of
customers and colleagues. Then, they need to build the measures, systems and
processes that support this mission, ensuring that those who fulfill that
mission receive appropriate rewards and recognition” (Reichheld, 2022, p. 8).
·
Standard 22 states,
“Human services professionals honor their commitments to employers to the
fullest extent possible” (Ethical Standards, 2024). From a biblical perspective
Jesus said, “Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no,’ ‘no’” (NKJV, 1982, Matthew
5:37). It is important (as much as humanly possible) to follow through on
commitments and to keep one’s word. This is setting an ethical standard and
doing the right thing, whether a person feels like it or not. This ethical
standard is “based on a set of ethical values that stipulate what behavior and
practices are considered acceptable and which are not, and also provides
general guidance in managing ethical dilemmas” (Martin, 2022, p. 57). This
standard (if adhered to) helps to simplify the implementation of, ‘yes, I will
chose to honor my commitments’ and ‘no, I will not back out of what I have
promised others, even if it is unpleasant to me.’
·
Standard 27 states,
“Human services professionals must accurately represent their qualifications,
encompassing, but not limited to, their skills, education, credentials,
training, and areas of expertise, to the client, colleagues, and members of the
public. When any intentional or accidental misrepresentation is discovered,
they must take immediate action to rectify the situation.” In scripture we are
provided with this profound truth, “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out” (NIV, 2011, Proverbs 10:9).
A crooked path is definitely one of misrepresentation and not accurately
representing one’s self. The best way to walk is with accuracy. It is also
interesting that integrity goes hand in hand with security. Integrity can give
the professional secure ethics and help secure all areas of their service to
clients, colleagues, and reputation with the public.
