    For your Week 3 paper, explore American foodways related to the Thanksgiving hol

    For your Week 3 paper, explore American foodways related to the Thanksgiving holiday, and compare and contrast them to the foodways of one named society of your choosing among foragers, horticulturalists, or pastoralists.
    • To remind you, foodways are described on page 97 of Chapter 5 in the textbook.
    • What “must” be in your own family’s Thanksgiving meal? What is typical in an American family’s meal? What “can’t” be in your own family’s Thanksgiving meal? How much of the Thanksgiving meal is produced/cultivated/grown by the people eating the meal, either in your family or in a typical American family? What is the gender division of labor of a typical American family’s Thanksgiving meal? How does that compare with the gender division of labor of your family’s Thanksgiving meal?
    • Compare and Contrast these observations regarding an American Thanksgiving meal with observations of foodways of a foraging, horticulturalist, or pastoralist society of your choosing. The society you choose must be a specific named society of only foragers, horticulturalists, or pastoralists, preferably named in the Week 3 textbook reading (Shearn, 2020). What does a typical meal of your chosen foraging, horticulturalist, or pastoralist society look like? What does a celebratory meal of your chosen foraging, horticulturalist, or pastoralist society look like? How much of the typical or celebratory meal of your chosen foraging, horticulturalist, or pastoralist society is produced/cultivated/grown by the people eating the meal? What is the gender division of labor of a typical meal of your chosen foraging, horticulturalist, or pastoralist society?
    • Create a 1-to-3-page, double-spaced paper describing the foodways. The paper must be formatted in APA Style, with an APA-Style title page, page numbers in the upper right, headings, parenthetical in-text citations, and a reference page. The headings must be centered on the line and formatted in bold and in title case. Include at least the following headings: Thanksgiving Holiday American Foodways, Foodways of (name the foraging, horticulturalist, or pastoralist society), and Conclusion.
    • Paraphrase or quote and cite from the textbook and from at least one additional scholarly, outside source to support your points in the paper.

    As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership in intra- a

    As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership in intra- and interdisciplinary teams will be vital to the health outcomes for your patients and organization. One way to approach designing an improvement project, and implementing change, is to become knowledgeable about the challenges that the organization is facing. To do this, you will interview a healthcare professional. This can be a peer, a nursing colleague, administrator, or someone who could provide you with sufficient knowledge and information on a particular problem or concern within the organization.
    It would be an excellent choice to complete the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycle activity prior to developing the report. The activity consists of four questions that create the opportunity to check your understanding of best practices related to each stage of the PDSA cycle, which is one of a number of change models you can read about. The information gained from completing this activity will promote your success with the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification report. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded. By interviewing a healthcare colleague of your choice, you will begin to gather information about an interprofessional collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing, or has experienced, in the workplace. You will identify a change theory and leadership strategies that can be applied to address this problem. This assessment is the first of three related assessments in which you will gather interview information, design a proposal for interdisciplinary problem-solving, and report on how an interdisciplinary improvement plan could be implemented in a place of practice. At the end of the course, your interviewee will have a proposal plan that they could present to stakeholders to address an interdisciplinary problem in the workplace.
    You may interview a healthcare professional such as a fellow learner, nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate person who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem or an area in which the organization is seeking improvements. Consult the Interview Guide [DOCX] for an outline of how to prepare and the types of information you will need to complete this project successfully. For this assessment, you will report on the information gathered during your interview. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from the literature. The goal of this assessment is to analyze the interview data and identify an issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary solution. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently in use. Additionally, you will prepare for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal assessment by researching change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified. Please be certain to review the scoring guide to confirm specific required elements of this assessment. Note that there are differences between basic, proficient and distinguished criteria.
    Use the Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX] to help you stay organized and concise. As you complete the template, make sure you use APA format for in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that are informing your plan, as well as for the reference list at the end. (Because you’re using a template, a title page is optional.)
    Additionally, be sure to address the following criteria. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you know what is needed for a distinguished score.
    Summarize an interview focused on past or current issues at a healthcare organization.
    Identify an issue from an interview for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate.
    Describe change theories and a leadership strategy that could help in developing an interdisciplinary solution to an organizational issue.
    Describe collaboration approaches from the literature that could be relevant in establishing or improving an interdisciplinary team to address an organizational issue.
    Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions; contains few errors in grammar/punctuation, word choice, and spelling.
    Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format. Length of submission: Use the provided template. Most submissions will be 2 to 4 pages in length. Be sure to include a reference page at the end of the plan.
    Number of references: Cite a minimum of three sources of scholarly or professional evidence to support your central ideas. Resources should be no more than 5 years old. See the Capella University Library.
    APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations and reference list follow current APA style. See the APA Module.

    Overview
    You are the regional marketing director of a theme park in the southea

    Overview
    You are the regional marketing director of a theme park in the southeastern United States that is part of a global brand. The chief marketing officer (CMO) of global operations has called upon you to help coordinate the marketing tasks related to rolling out an emergency response due to a recent safety and injury incident at one of the parks resulting in serious injuries to employees and customers. The parks were closed immediately following the incident to ensure safety measures for customers and employees and to deploy the needed safety measures.
    Now, as the theme park is all set to reopen, the CMO has called you to take a lead in planning the marketing strategy for the same. Your responsibility is to design a phased strategy for marketing and the reopening of all parks. Your strategy should address critical objectives such as maximum safety, crisis communication, customer satisfaction, and profit potential. You must coordinate marketing strategy with corporate strategy, as failure or success of the marketing strategy can have a direct impact on the brand.
    As a first step, you will perform an analysis to understand the implications of reopening on brand equity. In this analysis, you will identify the groups of stakeholders that are affected by the reopening and also plan the communication strategy for before and after the parks’ reopening. Also, you will identify the roles and responsibilities of key functional departments that are going to play an important role in the reopening process. This analysis will help you develop a strategic marketing plan to address the reopening of the park and also to develop an effective crisis communication plan.
    In this milestone, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that will include brand analysis and the implications of reopening on the brand equity and functional departments, including their roles and responsibilities in the reopening process.
    Prompt
    Brand Analysis and Implications—In this part of the project, you will present the brand implications of reopening the park in the course scenario. Your presentation should include the following critical factors:
    Determine the essential factors that can impact brand equity when reopening the park (Slides 1–3)

    Define brand equity and explain its importance to the organization (Slide 1).
    Provide positive implications (Slide 2):

    Safety concerns addressed and communicated
    Community and local government support for reopening
    Employee support for reopening

    Provide negative implications (Slide 3):

    Social media negative reactions
    Employee negative concerns
    Operational concerns for safety

    Describe the strategic communication plan that should occur before and after the park reopens. Your responses should address the following (Slides 4–8):

    Identify three key stakeholder groups from this list and describe each stakeholder’s interest in the organization:

    Employees
    Customers
    Government agencies
    Communities
    Vendors

    Describe their communication needs.
    Identify the best mode for communicating with them based on their needs, including how you will take feedback from stakeholders.
    Describe what impact reopening the park could have on each identified stakeholder (low, medium, or high). Why?

    Functional Departmental Roles and Responsibilities—In this part of the project, you will identify the functional department and describe their roles and responsibilities in making the reopening of the park a success. Your presentation should include the following critical factors (Slides 9–12):
    Identify three functional departments, including marketing, which play a significant role in the reopening process. Consider which departments will be most engaged in the reopening process. Describe the roles and responsibilities of these functional departments in the safe and successful process of reopening the park (Slides 9-10).
    Select at least three legal and ethical considerations outlined in the memo from legal team. Explain why each of these considerations is important to factor in when reopening the park (Slides 11-12).
    What to Submit
    Submit a narrated PowerPoint presentation with 10–12 slides. Include precise and extensive speaker notes should be used to address all the critical elements in the presentation. Include APA7 style citations to support.
