Category: Research & Summaries

we are watching The Graduate, which will act as a frame of reference for both this week and the weeks ahead.
After watching The Graduate, you must create a discussion post including the following:
Cite examples of close up shots and wide shots you found interesting and why. Note: If you choose shots a student has previously chosen and your thoughts sound the same, you will lose points!
State whether you thought this movie had a happy ending or a sad ending and why.
Respond with comments to at least two other students’ posts on The Graduate.

An in-depth analysis of the ESG performance of Pfizer Inc. From the perspective of a business manager, view yourself as the management team of your chosen company, planning to improve the company’s ESG performance to attract investors. Provide five of the most effective ways to improve a company’s ESG performance to attract investors. Please explain why these methods are more effective than others. For example, the material ESG issues, the ESG issues in shareholder proposals or the ESG issues that regulators required should matter more to investors and so on so forth.
Note for the information on shareholder proposals, you can search a company’s website or SEC-Edgar platform for its proxy statement -DEF 14 A (https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html)

Family Issues in Los Angeles
Select a family issue that is of interest to you ( pick one: premarital counseling, mental health services, parenting programs, fertility treatment, teenage pregnancy, care for the elderly) and then research how the topic is being addressed in our community. In order to do this, you will need to seek information via the Internet to investigate how the community is offering information and/or services to the public regarding the family issue. You MUST research at least TWO separate local community sources, in Los Angeles, that address your chosen family issue. Your final paper will include the following:
(a) Introductory information. This information should include a description of the family issue and that sites information presented in your textbook, why the issue is of interest to you, and a detailed description of how you gathered the information that is discussed in the paper .
(b) Describe and explain how the family issue is currently being addressed within your community based on your research.
(c) Evaluate the community’s current efforts. (i.e., what is your opinion of the strengths and weaknesses of the existing community resources that you have researched and presented in your paper?).
(d) Specifically, outline future policy initiatives and community-based efforts that you believe could improve the current state of affairs. I want-your own thoughtful ideas here, folks!
(e) Overall grammar, punctuation and paper organization.
(f) Also include any printed materials describing the agency and/or the services offered by the agency to the community (e.g., pamphlets, newsletters, handouts obtained from the agencies).
Note: Be sure to include some form of materials to document your research efforts!! Examples of documented sources might include attached pamphlets, materials, and or direct links to the two agencies

Using a quantitative approach allows for collecting a large amount of data from the participants, which enhances the study’s validity. Additionally, a quantitative approach enables the researcher to generalize the findings to a larger population beyond the sample included in the research. The quantitative approach is justified in this study because the research questions require numerical data analysis. The research aims to answer the research questions by analyzing the participants’ responses using an experimental design one-way within-subject. A quantitative research approach for this research is appropriate because it enables the researcher to collect and analyze numerical data using statistical methods. This approach is well-suited for the research questions, which require a comparison of the effectiveness of traditional activities and games on English vocabulary acquisition. Using a quantitative approach enhances the validity and generalizability of the study’s findings and allows for meaningful conclusions from the data analysis.
Write about a previous study that discuss the quantitative approach to support what written above.

This link takes you directly to the Community website and their page where they have a video of approximately 3 1/2 minutes (scroll down the page to find it) which is one type of virtual tour. They also have another non-video version of the tour under “virtual tours and floor plans” where you can look at each floor of the community as well as floor plans for each type of unit. Note that personal care units are assisted living, and memory care units are units for residents with Alzheimers and other forms of dementia. You should also visit other links on the website after the tour that provide a detailed description of the services and amenities of the community, their dining options and their activities under the link, “About Us”.

Hello,
I am looking for an expert to write my research literature review. I have my reference list ready, introduction, research proposal, annotated bibliography. All will be shared with you in order to have an idea about the topic. I will also share a sample of (literature review) provided by my instructor for you to see the language used, structure and organization.
Please if don’t have the experience I am requesting, don’t bid on this task. I have no time to waste.
My research topic is: What Language Styles and Registers Do Famous Content Creators Employ on Omani Social Media Platforms?
