BOOK 1 ONLY!!!!!!Aristotle Nichomachaen Ethics Book II1. What are the two kinds of virtue (excellence)? (1103a15)  2. According to Aristotle, how does one acquire intellectual virtue? (1103a15-16)  3. According to Aristotle, how does one acquire moral virtue? How does one’s state of character get shaped and formed? (1103a17)  4. What does Aristotle mean when he states that virtue is something we “learn by doing”? (1103a33) How is becoming an excellent person similar to becoming an excellent musician? (1103b1)  5. At the beginning of chapter 2, Aristotle states his purpose in writing about virtue. (1103b27) Is he hoping his readers (and students) acquire theoretical understanding, or is his hope to help form the activity of soul of his readers and students so they can live good lives?  6. What two things destroy virtue? (1104a12) How is this shown in the example of excellent strength or health?  7. At the beginning of chapter 3, what does Aristotle mean when he says that the pleasures or pains that follow an act are signs of an individual’s character? (1104b5) How does one’s character alter whether an action is pleasant or painful?  8. In chapter 4, Aristotle considers a puzzle. It’s a puzzle about actions and the person doing the action. Explain the puzzle and Aristotle’s solution.  9. In chapter 5, Aristotle makes a first pass on considering what virtue is. (He tries to determine its general category.) Is it a passion, a faculty, or a state of character? What does he mean by each of these? In particular, what is a “state of character”?10. In chapter 6, Aristotle refines the definition of virtue. (Having established that it is a state of character, what makes a virtue an excellent state of character? How is it related to human function?  11. Still in chapter 6 (1106b26), Aristotle draws a distinction between the numerical mean and the mean relative to an individual person. Explain the distinction with regard to how much food is healthy.  12. Near the end of chapter 6, Aristotle provides a careful (six part) definition of moral virtue. What is his definition? (1107a1)  13. At the end of chapter 6, Aristotle points out that some actions (adultery, theft, murder) are bad in themselves (1107a11). How does virtue differ from simply avoiding such actions?  14. In chapter 7, Aristotle refers to a table that lists nine moral virtues. What virtues and vices are includes on this list? Is it possible to reconstruct this table? How is each virtue a “mean” between two extremes?  15. Several of the virtues that Aristotle lists have to do with proper desires and feelings. In particular, he mentions feelings of fear and confidence; desires related to taste and touch; the desire to give; and the feeling of anger. He suggests that through habit, we can change what we desire. Is this true? Can we educate our desires and feelings? Isn’t education just aimed at the intellect and theoretical understanding?  16. Aristotle begins chapter 9 by summarizing his teaching on the virtues. What conclusion does he draw about the ease of acquiring excellent moral habits? (1109a26)     17. Aristotle gives several pieces of practical advice on how to achieve the mean. What should be avoided? (1109b5) What should we guard against? (1109b8)

Although organizations tend to consider organizational strategy yearly, organizational strategic plans tend to be multi-year endeavors often looking 5 or more years into the future.  Given the typical 5 year outlook, discuss why companies go through the strategic management cycle yearly and why this is a good (or bad) idea.  Give examples of companies that have incorporated strategies that took years to realize and discuss how annually revisiting a company’s strategic direction can influence an organization’s success in a competitive environment for longer range plans. As a business student you have likely spent some time learning about applications of PEST (and/or PESTEL), Porter’s 5 forces, and SWOT analysis over the years.  These are useful tools for understanding the environment in which a given organization might find itself embedded.  SWOT analysis is useful for understanding the organization itself on a more micro-level scale.   Discuss to what degree you believe these tools are actually useful for different sized businesses.  For instance, what should a mom and pop computer repair store consider doing in the area of strategic analysis?  What about a medium sized retailer?  What about a family?  Is there an optimal organizational size for applying these tools?  Give some evidence to support your key points.   Companies can pursue a lot of different strategies for dealing with a particular problem.  During strategy formulation and planning, competing strategies are often considered and an attempt is made to identify the optimal mix of strategies.  Let’s discuss some of the technology and marketing strategies of the major cell phone manufacturers.  What are some strategies that have been helpful in making some companies (Like Apple and Samsung) more successful than others?  Strategy implementation and evaluation are important aspects of the strategic management process.  Consider an industry rooted in innovation (such as the cell phone industry) and the top competing companies that use an innovation leadership strategy.  How do you suppose such companies (like Apple and Samsung) manage the implementation of continuous innovation?  Discuss implementation barriers that companies considered to be leaders of innovation face (or have faced).  Provide some evidence to support your arguments.

this the subject the topic should be on. and a permalimk to the article should be attached to it. The significant clinical issue I have chosen to further research is Intensive Care Unit (ICU) delirium.  Working in an ICU, I have witnessed ICU delirium first hand.  It is quite common in the Trauma ICU in my hospital, because it has no windows. ICU delirium is a significant issue, because it has been linked to negative patient outcomes such as longer hospital stays and higher risk of mortality.  It is a serious issue, because it can be hard to assess until it has already become full blown.  There are suggested tools and preventive measures, but no solid treatment.  Every patient in the ICU is at risk for developing ICU delirium.  On my floor I would say at least 25% of the patients have ICU delirium.  Standard practice at my hospital is to use the CAM-ICU scale once per shift to assess for delirium.  It is common to look through a patient’s chart and see “unable to assess” in the comments.  This is related to the patient being intubated, sedated, and/or the nurse not knowing the patient’s baseline.  Another gap in knowledge is in relation to the fact that there are subtypes of ICU delirium. According to Jun Gwon (2013) “Physicians and other caregivers in the ICU usually notice agitation as a consequence whereas patient with hypoactive delirium, which is a more frequent subtype . . . remain unnoticed” (p. 195).  Noticing that a patient has become aggressive and irritated comes easily, but noticing a patient is not as talkative or less engaged can easily get missed.Chamberlain School of Nursing (2015).

I need you to answer 5 questions. they are not hard at all! each question may have more than one step so please answer these sepertally——–I WILL NEED IT IN 3 HOURS PLEASE. IF YOU CAN”T DO IT PLEASE DON’T SHAKE HANDS.——-Take the time to carefully review all the videos on this week’s topic of Organization Structure & Design – they are all between 2 – 7 minutes.1. Describe at least 3 specific things that you learned about Organization Structure, Design or Processes.2. If you have worked in an organization before, whether as a volunteer, paid employee, manager or intern, can you describe what organization structure it followed based on the videos and your textbook reading for this week?  If you haven’t been employed, volunteered or interned in an organization, then describe what you think the Organizational Structure of CSUN is like, OR you can choose to describe the Organizational Structure of your college at CSUN (Business, Education, HHS, etc).. QUESTION #2On page 453 of your textbook, please carefully read Case 11, “Nike – Spreading Out to Win the Race.”1. How would you describe Nike’s current organizational structure?2. If you were a consultant called in to help Nike with redesigning its structure to be more effective capturing more market share and avoid some of the bad press Nike has received regarding outsourced labor practices, what recommendations would you have that would add value to the redesign of its structure – it’s ok to make just small changes or big ones, whatever you think would add value. QUESTION #3On page 441-442, in your textbook, please carefully read Case 2, “Zara International – Fashion at the Speed of Light.” 1. Based on this case and your textbook readings in the chapter, what organizational structure do you think best describes Zara currently – please describe what elements of Zara fit the organizational structure you chose.2. As Zara focuses on increased online marketing and sales in the United States, do you see a need for Zara to change its current organizational structure, Why or Why Not? QIESTION #4On page 279 of your textbook, CH 12, please read section “Hidden Agendas in Organizational Change.” Organizations typically spend millions of dollars to make organizational changes happen, and it rarely goes according to plan – there are so many unknown variables that go into making an organizational change effective.  Frequently, the use of hidden agendas occurs when managers and others see the organization change a certain way, which might be in their best interest, but not the best interest of the overall organization. Sometimes in Organizational changes, one department like Marketing might get more funding, more staff hired, while Operations might lose funding and have to cut staff – you can see where each Department Manager might have his or her own agenda about the change.1. If your manager asked you to influence and persuade others to go along with your manager’s agenda/ideas for change, and you agreed with some parts of your manager’s ideas, but not all of them, what would you do and Why? (Consider – would you go along with your manager whether you agreed or not, would you try to influence your manager to see that his or her ideas didn’t agree with your own ideas, would you refuse to speak on behalf your manager’s agenda, would you act openly as if you agreed with your manager, and then privately discuss your concerns with others, etc) QUESTION #5On page 287-288, CH 12, of your textbook, please complete and score the self-assessment “Change Leadership IQ.”  Being able to effectively manage and lead a change process with a strong tolerance of ambiguity (see pg. 282 for tolerance of ambiguity), is essential for today’s managers and leaders to be successful in their organizations,1. How would you assess yourself in your ability to handle changes if you were managing/leading others?2. If there are areas in which you’d like to improve in your ability to handle change in your own life or even when working with others, what could you begin to differently to handle change more effectively?  (Change happens all the time whether we like it or not) I will uploud the pages here ——————EACH question should AT LEAST have a 3 lines answer and that’s it!——————– PLEASE I NEED IT IN THE NEXT 3 HOURS

i need 100% orinigal. not copy Deliverable Length: Throughout this course, you will work on several aspects of network design and configuration that will result in a complete network design and configuration document for the scenario that is described below. You will not configure a real network, but you will work extensively with the concepts of good network design and configuration practices. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for the project.For this course, your projects will be for a company named RL Medical Imaging (RLMI). This company provides imaging services (MRIs, CAT scans, etc.) for physicians in the greater New York metropolitan area. The company has 50 clients with an average of 10 patients per week, per client, and it expects to grow at a rapid pace during the next 5 years. The company’s clients schedule imaging for their patients. Patient information is currently delivered to RLMI as paper documents. Imaging is performed, and the results are recorded (again on paper) and sent back to the client.The goal for RLMI is to transform its current paper system to a computerized system and create a network with appropriate servers and workstations to support the required software and staff. In addition, RLMI would like to provide scheduling and results services via the Web to its clients. The company has 20 staff members (10 imaging technicians, 3 doctors, 1 sales and customer service representative, and 6 clerical staffers). The average results package (data and images) is 50 MB in size. The company must protect patient data because of federal patient-privacy laws, so security measures are important. In addition, the patient records are valuable, and the imaging is expensive, so it is important that a solid data backup process is in place.For the assignments in this course, you will not implement the actual network, but you will develop a comprehensive network design and configuration document. Your first task for the project is to create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will work on for each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project.Your first version of the network design and configuration document will also include a suitable network design. Review the project background, develop a design for a network that will meet the needs of the organization, and follow the guidelines under the Network Design section of the document outline for specific deliverables. Assumptions may be made where necessary, but they should be stated in the document.The project deliverables include the following: Adhere to APA formatting and reference guidelines when writing your response. Additionally, your response should be free of grammatical errors, use complete sentences, and give specific details to support statements.
