Quality management is a continuous development that health care organizations use to distribute merchandise and services that will make sure to meet or exceed consumer expectations (McLaughlin, & Kaluzny, 2013). Quality management in health care has evolved over the year to address increased demands from consumers related to the quality care and services, as well as to address problems in patients' outcomes (McLaughlin, & Kaluzny, 2013).

A theme of a story should give the reader its point of view and a reader should be able to understand the theme from the story through the characters, action, and setting that make up the story. Both show how the decisions we make in life can change our journey. Both have different characters, symbolism, and historical context although the theme is common.

...University of Phoenix The Responsibility Project Student Ethics 316 Jun 4, 2012 Week 3 Dr. Been There Done That The Responsibility Project The following paper will examine the short film “Our World” from the Responsibility Project featuring singer John Legend. Specifically, the paper will provide insight into the organizational issue of education and how ethical principles, external social pressures, relevance of organizational, and personal decisions affect this societal problem. Why are the issues in the film important? The issues with this film center on our ailing educational systems in and around low income, poverty stricken inner cities throughout the United States. Ensuring each child receives a quality education regardless of ethnicity or social background is extremely important issue. John Legend is using his success and resources to address these exact concerns within the political arena in Washington. What role do external social pressures have in influencing organizational ethics? External social pressures can steer organizational ethics, both in negative and positive manner. For example, as John Legend highlights society (external social pressure) tends to have several pre-conceived notions on inner city education activities. One such negative notion is poor black, white or Hispanic children will not do well within the education system because of the influence of the geographical...

...JIANG YIXI(ELSIE) 53546108 T12 Gulangyu: The garden on the sea Located in the southwest of Xiamen, Gulangyu is known as “the garden on the sea” and “the island of piano”. According to legend, there is a hollow rock situated in the beach of the island. When the tide rises and hits the rock, it sounds like beating of the drums. Therefore, the island is named as “Gulangyu”. Due to its fascinating scenery and gentle pace of life, it ranks among one of the top twenty popular scenic spots in China. Every year, thousands of tourists around the world are attracted to the island by its reputation. Last summer, I was honored to appreciate her beauty. After getting off the tour bus, I was met by a gentle sea breeze, mixed with the flavor of sea and the fragrance of flowers. The fresh air around me gave me an immediate peace and relaxation. Looking around, two rows of phoenix trees, the civic tree of Xiamen, were standing along the roadside, stretching their arms to greet the guests coming from afar. The phoenix flowers were in full blossom, exhibiting various shapes. Though the sun was hot, yet strolling under the trees, I was enclosed by coolness as the flourishing branches and leaves formed a natural sunshade for the visitors. Moving ahead, clusters of lovely purple flowers caught my eyes. Triangle plums, the civic flowers of Xiamen, were displaying their graceful figures. Enormous of them dotted the trees, resemble thousands of stars decorated the night sky. They clustered...

...Foundations of Mythology HUM105 Foundations of Mythology In the popular context, the word “myth” is generally used to describe urban legends. Urban legends are false stories, told as if they were true, and passed on to others. Myth, in this context, is defined as stories that undergo a series of events sharing characteristics of legends and folktales. These stories, present themselves in our everyday lives through fictional characters, such as Tooth Fairy or Cupid. In an academic setting, the word “myth” is used to describe ancient narratives that attempt to answer the enduring and fundamental human questions such as creation (Leonard & McClure, p. 1, 2004). The word mythology is derived from both Greek words mythos and logos. The academic study of mythology could be described as the logical thinking used to produce mythical thinking; hence mythos forms the structure in which logos is employed. I would describe myths as an unexplainable or unknown actual event created by individuals to make sense of the unknown. Creation is a perfect example of this. Cultures around the world have different Myths. They all share the basic human desire to understand life and its meaning. Claude Lévi-Strauss expresses similar sentiments about myth’s functions when he postulates that myths serve to mediate conflicting or dualistic elements of society and life and conflicting nature of human beings are same around the world. (Leonard & McClure, p. 18, 2004). ...

...Review of the film "Stand By Me" 3/28/2016 Hum/150 Dr. Evans Stand By Me, is a coming-of-age story based off of the Stephen King short story entitled "The Body." The film could be categorized as a drama, adventure or comedy depending on which scene you are watching. I'm gonna label it an adventure, to me an adventure should be packed with a little bit of everything. Stand By Me takes place in the 1950's in rural Oregon. Four friends Gordy (Wil Wheaton), Chris(River Phoenix), Teddy(Corey Feldman) and Vern(Jerry O'Connell) embark n a treachorous hike to discover the body of a local boy who is presumed dead. During their trip they have to scramble for food, dodge trains, avoid local bullies, remove leeches and protect equipment from aterrifying dog named Chopper.Throughout their adventure the best buds also come to grips with issues in their personal lives There were many techniques used to help tell the story for Stand By Me. First off, most scenes involve all four of the main characters. This made me feel the togetherness of their group and showed how much of a bond they really had with each other. The sound was great, particularly the soundtrack. The oldies helped place you in the 50's, as well as the jargon used by the characters. The setting for most of the film was outdoors and most the time along the train tracks they were following. A lot of wide camera shots and angles were used to give the viewer a better idea of their surroundings and the...

...Cultural Evaluation Paper: Legalizing Cannabis in I BCOM/275 Business Communications and Critical Thinking According to Cheesebro, O'Connor, and Rios (2010), “Cooperative cross cultural communication is possible if the communicators are sensitive to each other’s cultures” (Chapter 3). There are some basic principles that should be used when communicating cross-culturally. The first is that greater cultural and language differences will increase the likelihood of communication breakdowns. Another important principle is to understand cultural differences enough to recognize what may be considered taboo within a particular culture. An example would be; it is customary to offer a small gift to a Japanese visitor, but also to know that if the gift offered is a knife, it represents a suggestion for the receiver to commit suicide (Cheesebro, O'Connor, & Rios, Chapter 3, 2010). To be effective in cross cultural communication, more so when information is intended to be persuasive in nature, one should make the effort to learn the style differences in cross culture communications. Learning Team C has prepared a persuasive document in regards to the legalization of marijuana. The content is designed with American cultures in mind and with the understanding that if it were to be communicated cross-culturally some changes would be applied. Our study of cross cultural differences between the American and Indian cultures discovered a difference in tactics...

...Running Head: FOUNDATIONS OF MYTHOLOGY Foundations of Mythology Short Answers Keith Stevens University of Phoenix Foundations of Mythology How is the word myth used popularly? For example, what does the statement, “It’s a myth” mean? In contrast, how is the word myth used in the academic context? After considering the definition in your textbooks and course materials, write a definition in your own words. According to Leonard (2004), "Official myths like the Illiad and Odyssey, The Theogony- or the Bhagavad Gita or the Bible- are inevitably reconstructions from snatches of folklore and legend, artistically put together with an eye for drama and meaning. But real myths are, like one's own dreams, so fresh they are not yet recognized as myth or scripture and are fragmentary, imagistic rather than verbal, emergent, capable of forming many different stories at one" Dictionary.com defines myth as a traditional or legendary story. Myth is used in an academic context to address what is real and what is not real. Myth is used throughout society through stories and legends. These stories become part of our everyday lives through watching science fiction movies, reading science fiction books, and other books with mystical characters. Some legendary and traditional stories are St. Nick, Santa Claus, a stork, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy. Myths such as these are created for young children. The stork is easier to use to explain to a young child where babies come...

...continue throughout this journey called life. In the short story titled, “A Worn Path”, the author Eudora Welty, creatively incorporates the use of theme and symbolism to effectively layout a storyline that depicts the path of life of an elderly black woman. In the short story, “A Worn Path”, the author uses symbolic language and theme to identify the conflicts, struggles, self-scarifies and determination that one must face throughout the journey of life. The use of this symbolic language allows the major themes of sacrificial love in the face of hardship and death to be easily identified throughout the story. ” A Worn Path” passes far beyond it’s time capsule and remarkable fusion a number of different elements which incorporate myths, legend, and religious undertones which provide the story with a universally understanding of life and the struggles and accomplishments individuals must face on this journey called life (Moberly, 2005). Throughout the short story, titled, “A Worn Path”, the author invokes language symbolism to create a storyline that captures the reader’s imagination and creates a simplistic approach to revealing the true paradox. In the booked titled, “Journey into Literature”, symbol is defined as something that has a literal identity, but also stands for something else-something that is widely understood and has been developed over a long period...

Both legends include a magical conception a humble but glorious life, and a horrible death at the hands of evil. The striking similarities between the legendary figures of Jesus Christ and King Arthur have caused many people to speculate the shared mythology between the two is actually the same story. With each telling, details have often changed to accommodate the current needs or cultural differences of the people. The first major resemblance in the stories is their origins. Their conceptions share a parallel in the fact they are both highly unusual. Both characters are conceived in a mystical way. Jesus is conceived indirectly by the Holy Spirit, and Arthur by a king disguised by sorcery. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is miraculously impregnated while remaining a virgin.
