US24-ANP-200-730 – Navigating Another Culture
Write 800-1200 words in response to the prompt below. Use your favorite word processor, and then submit your document in the “Initial essay about culture” assessment folder located in d2l (link to this is in the “Introduction” folder or access it directly from top of our d2l page: Assessments -> Assignments -> Initial essay about culture). Your document MUST be MS Word, Plain Text, or PDF format, and you should save a backup copy of your work on your own computer. There is no right or wrong answer; we want to read *your* thoughts and experiences. The only wrong answer is if you do not follow the directions or answer the questions coherently. No need to stress out about this assignment – just answer the prompts using your thoughts and your voice; however, be sure you have handed in the work you want to hand in, as we cannot allow revisions after the assignment deadline passes.
We will deduct points if your essay falls below the word count, so use the word count function in your word processor to check this. However, it is OK if you go *over* the word count, but please email the TA if you are planning to write more than twice the suggested word count.
You will be graded on how you answer each part of the prompt below (1 through 4):
1. Define what you think “culture” is in one paragraph. We are interested in hearing your personal opinions –what this word means to you– and not really in whether your definition is “correct”. There is no correct answer, so please do not use any definitions that you find online, just discuss what you think about this word. You will loose points if you use a definition you find in the dictionary or anywhere online.
2. In the next paragraph, describe some aspects about your culture, including how the circumstances of where you grew up, your family, school, identities, and wider society have shaped your culture. Specific examples and details will make this section stronger.
3. If you had the power to do this, what is one specific thing you would change about your culture (that would affect both you and others who share this cultural background with you)? Have fun with this answer.
4. Finally, write about an encounter with cultural difference (this could range from interacting with a neighbor from a different ethnic group or a different religion than yours to traveling or living in a different country). Specific examples and details will make this section stronger.
4a. Describe that encounter and what made it intercultural, and how you initially felt about the encounter and why. Was there anything about the encounter that made you uncomfortable and why (or why not)?
4b. Describe any challenges you had communicating or understanding the other person, or if no challenges, why not.
4c. Describe an assumption you held about them or vice versa.
4d. Describe how you felt after the encounter and why. 4e. Finally, based on your experience, describe one factor or characteristic that promotes a successful or rewarding intercultural encounter (maybe it was something you did, or something you realize you should have or should have not done). What did you learn from this intercultural encounter that might help you navigate a similar encounter in the future?

Title: “The Legal and Ethical Ramifications of Healthcare Facility Bankruptcy: Examining the Role of Mismanaged Funds and the Need for Healthcare Reform”
HCM515 Assume your healthcare facility has gone bankrupt due to mismanaged funds by the Board of Directors. Examine the legal and ethical ramifications of this, including care for the community. How could healthcare reform have prevented this from happening? Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (which require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least TOW scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

Title: Exploring the Religion of Jainism: A Journey into Non-Violence and Enlightenment
**Not Christianity**
Task:
The visible aspects of a religion are such things as sacred ritual, sacred text, the foundations of cosmogony, rites of passage, sanctified celebrations, and symbolism. In this assignment you will create a PowerPoint in which you pick one religion that you want to delve deeper into with your scholarly research skills.
The choice on what religion to explore is completely up to you – apart from a religion you already practice. You may not explore your own religion/faith commitment, nor one you are already familiar with for our purposes. You need to explore and delve deeper into a religion you are not immersed in – one entirely new to you – this is to demonstrate critical competencies. For example, if you consider yourself Christian – do not do the assignment on Christianity, nor any of its related branches, denominations, or sects.
Here are just a few examples of the 100’s of religions followed around the world to get you started thinking:
Judaism
Hinduism
Shinto
Taoism
Christianity
Jainism
Buddhism
Yazidism
Confucianism
Vodu
Zoroastrianism
Islam
Your Presentation is to be creative. The Presentation will contain:
Graphics/Visual Aids
Youtube Video or the like
In-text citations that match all resources
Three article/book resources for support
No crowded text. Text is to be pleasing to the eye
Your presentation must address – at a minimum- the following content:
Title Slide
Introduction and the defining of your religion in your own words.
Identification, examples and discussion of the universal forms of religious expression within your chosen religion and their significance from the perspective of adherents. You do not have to name all religious expressions within each required category contained within your chosen religion. Name one or two with explanations under each category below. This will have one slide for each category with a total of four slides.
Sacred ritual(s)
Sacred text(s)
Celebration(s)
Symbolism(s) Religions World View
Describe the basic concepts that make up a religious world view. This will have one slide for each category with a total of two slides.
The religions cosmogony doctrine.
The religions salvation doctrine.
Conclude by expressing the importance of studying your religion for others — and for yourself — in relation to the world today.
NOTE:
When the assignment is completed properly you should have a minimum of 12 total slides.
Resources – use at a minimum at least three reliable resources with in-text citations and a resource page to support your analysis. Such sources must be in addition to any encyclopedic or dictionary sources.
Remember all resources must match with in-text citations. You cannot have resources without citations to match – the two must go together, otherwise this is considered plagiarism. Resources:
Please do not pay for any resource you want to use. There are too many out there that are free. Here are some of the available free programs for your use. -
Annotated Summary: “Undocumented Latinx Immigrant Youth and Perceptions of Racialized Citizenship” Question #1: What is your source about? What is the main point? This source is a research article that explores the experiences of undocumented
CREATING AN ANNOTATED SUMMARY
An ANNOTATED SUMMARY is a brief evaluation of a research source. It should include how relevant or helpful this resource will be for your research paper. Depending on the nature of your assignment, several of these summaries may be combined into an annotated bibliography. It can also be one stage of the research/writing process, or it may be the entire assignment. Annotations are usually comprised of four or more sentences about a particular source. Writing this is easier that it might appear.
ASSIGNMENT: Please answer the three questions below IN YOUR OWN WORDS regarding your selected SOURCE in order to create your annotated summary. Although you will answer each question separately for this assignment, each answer will form a central part of your annotated summary. *BE SURE TO INCLUDE A MINIMUM OF THREE AND MAXIMUM OF EIGHT SENTENCES WHEN ANSWERING EACH QUESTION!
SOURCE: Rodriguez, S., & Macias, E. (2023). “Even being a citizen is not a privilege here”: Undocumented Latinx immigrant youth and perceptions of racialized citizenship. Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, 9(1), 21-36.
LINK: rodriguez-macias-2022-even-being-a-citizen-is-not-a-privilege-here-undocumented-latinx-immigrant-youth-and-perceptions-4.pdf
QUESTION#1: What is your source about? What is the main point? Pro Tip: Avoid using the first person (words like I, we, you, etc.) in your answer. QUESTION #2: Why is this source useful or relevant to your research topic? If it is not useful or relevant please explain why!
Pro Tip: Try using the first person (words like I, we, you, etc.) in your answer to make an argument or present an analysis, not an opinion!.
QUESTION #3: (Two Parts!): Please choose one example from your source reading and explain one to four sentences how your selection illustrates the conclusions* or arguments made with your source. How does the author support these conclusions/arguments. How might their conclusions RELATE to your research topic? Be sure to include the full quote of the example you select from your source!
Pro Tip: Another way to understand this question could be, “What argument is the author making?”. -
