hi, you can find below two examples of a good discussion post and a bad one.you can find the reading attached."Good" Discussion Board Post example:In the Harvard Religious Literacy Project’s “Our Method,” Diane Moore begins by distinguishing two approaches to the study of religion, religion as “devotional expression” which makes normative claims about which religious beliefs and practices are “orthodox” and the “nonsectarian study of religion” which is more descriptive in nature and recognizes the legitimacy of diverse religious expressions (1). Adopting this latter approach, Moore claims that three further claims about religious traditions emerge: 1) that religious traditions are internally diverse, meaning that there are differences “within sects or expressions because religious communities function in different social/political contexts” (2); 2) that religious traditions evolve and change over time, and as such, “are constantly interpreted and reinterpreted by believers” (2); and 3) that religious traditions are embedded in cultures, and “just as religion cannot be understood in isolation from its cultural (including political) contexts, it is impossible to understand culture without considering its religious dimensions” (3)."Bad" Discussion Board Post example:Our reading talks about some ways we should think about religion such as the devotional expression and the nonsectarian study of religion it also mentions three parts of the nonsectarian study of religion approach such as internal diversity, how religions evolve and change, and how religions are culturally embedded.

Read “Application Case 3.4: EDW Helps Connect State Agencies in Michigan” located in Chapter 3 of the textbook.In 50-100 words each, address the questions presented at the end of the case study.While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.Application Case 3.4 EDW Helps Connect State Agencies in MichiganThrough customer service, resource optimization, and the innovative use of information and tech-nology, the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) impacts every area of government. Nearly 10,000 users in 5 major departments, 20 agencies, and more than 100 bureaus rely on the EDW to do their jobs more effectively and better serve Michigan residents. The EDW achieves $1 million per business day in finan-cial benefits.The EDW helped Michigan achieve $200 million in annual financial benefits within the Department of Community Health alone, plus another $75 million per year within the Department of Human Services (DHS). These savings include program integrity benefits, cost avoidance due to improved outcomes, sanction avoidance, operational efficiencies, and the recovery of inappropriate payments within its Medicaid program.The Michigan DHS data warehouse (DW) pro-vides unique and innovative information critical to the efficient operation of the agency from both a strategic and tactical level. Over the last 10 years, the DW has yielded a 15:1 cost-effectiveness ratio. Consolidated information from the DW now con-tributes to nearly every function of DHS, including accurate delivery of and accounting for benefits delivered to almost 2.5 million DHS public assis-tance clients.Michigan has been ambitious in its attempts to solve real-life problems through the innovative shar-ing and comprehensive analyses of data. Its approach to BI/DW has always been “enterprise” (statewide) in nature, rather than having separate BI/DW platforms for each business area or state agency. By removing barriers to sharing enterprise data across business units, Michigan has leveraged massive amounts of data to create innovative approaches to the use of BI/DW, delivering efficient, reliable enterprise solu-tions using multiple channels.QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION1. Why would a state invest in a large and expen-sive IT infrastructure (such as an EDW)?2. What is the size and complexity of the EDW used by state agencies in Michigan?3. What were the challenges, the proposed solution, and the obtained results of the EDW?Sources: Compiled from TDWI Best Practices Awards 2012 Winner, Enterprise Data Warehousing, Government and Non-Profit Category.

Position Paper (My topic is vaccine mandates) Context: In the rhetorical analysis assignment, you read an article on a controversial topic, looking for the aim of the author and trying to determine if the author was successful in their aim. There, you were focused on rhetorical strategies rather than the content of the argument. Now, you will integrate those skills and apply them to the task of developing your own point of view on a contemporary topic. This means you will look not only at how the authors you read address their topic, but what they say about the topic. The readings you’ll be doing are from the news. Prompt: Write a paper in which you take a position on a current topic that is, or has recently been, in the news. In order to support your position, you will also include these elements: • A summary of the issue and the different positions on this topic • Rhetorical analysis of some of the opinion-based journalism on this subject • Synthesis of differing points of view to build your own
