As always: you are required to make a minimum of THREE (3) posts per module. At least one of your three posts should be your own original comment; at least one – should be a response to or comment on something another classmate has posted; the third post can be either your own original post or a comment on a classmate’s post. Keep in mind that your response should NOT simply be a summary of the assigned reading. A higher grade will be awarded to posts that demonstrate student’s ability to provide an original interpretation of the topic while also applying relevant concepts, issues, and theories covered in the module.1. Read excerpts from the manifesto of the NASHI group (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. . Did any of the statements in the manifesto surprise you? Explain why. If you recall, in his article "Cults and Politics: Propagandizing Russia's Youth," Michael Jaskiw wrote that NASHI encourages "a narrow set of political views and demonizes independent thought." Based on the manifesto, agree or disagree with Prof. Jaskiw's statement. Do you agree that the manifesto indeed impinges on democratic freedoms and sets Russia up "for a future of repressions"? Or do you feel that his concern over Nashi's nationalism is an alarmist over-reaction? Back up your argument with specific examples from the manifesto and other readings in this module.2. Do you think political figures in other countries (for example, sitting president of the U.S. or, for that matter, presidential candidates during election season) should be ever relying on support from youth organizations? How could a candidate / political figure benefit from such a group? How could young people benefit from joining such an organization? Could such a youth support group become anti-democratic? Whenever possible, during your own discussion, draw parallels to the readings and video materials of this module.3. In his essay, Michael Jaskiw points out that some scholars have compared Nashi and their actions to "Hitler Youth." If you have read about Hitler youth in your other classes, do you agree with this observation? What are some examples of Nashi's actions that analysts can see as "extremest"? Could you compare the actions of Nashi to a cult? Make sure to back up your arguments with concrete examples.4. Based on this module's readings and video materials, do you feel that young people who participated in the Nashi rallies were used as political pawns? Or were they exercising their rights to express their free will? What do you think might drive young people to join a political organization or a cult? Compare and contrast with Nashi and cite examples from this module's readings and video materials.5. Have you heard of the "Pussy Riot" group before you took this class? How (if at all) did the film change your perception of current artistic and cultural life in Russia? Did the film change or shape your understanding of punk art and its place in society?6. Has any art ever provoked or inspired you to change your thinking or to take action? How so? From what you have read and watched, how effective do you think Pussy Riot's strategy was (or rather still is) to inspire a revolution (riot) through their provocative punk art? Why do you think Pussy Riot believed that a controversial performance was the only way for them to get people's attention?7. I think there is an interesting paradox that comes out of the multiple story lines of the documentary Pussy Riot: the Movement. When the girls are asked who would make a good replacement for Putin, they answer: Mikhail Khodorkovsky (the controversial exiled oligarch we discussed in one of the previous modules). Later on, without mentioning any specific names, the film's interviewees refer to the tremendous corruption in Russia and wealth that is concentrated in too few hands. But wasn't Khodorkovsky ultimately among those few corrupt individuals? Provide commentary based on the viewings and readings of this module.

This assignment has two parts. Part 1: Write a 2–3 page evaluation of the quality improvement program that you have created. This should be the annual summary of the hypothetical data. Make sure your hypothetical data are credible. Part 2: As you may recall from Week 1, your Course Project was to prepare a total quality improvement program, with a focus on one high-risk area. Continuous quality improvement covers many areas. Throughout the course, you have learned about the attributes that constitute a quality improvement team and what questions this team attempts to answer. The assignments toward this project that you completed each week can now be assembled into a single instructional document. Make necessary adjustments to your document so that each segment flows smoothly into the next. Evaluate your project using the criteria given below. Are the indicators and their measurements appropriate to the high-risk area? Do the indicators capture the risk? Are the fictional incidents realistic and plausible? Is the filled chart consistent with the fictional incident? Is the plan of correction feasible? Will it prevent the occurrence of the incident in future? How do you know the plan worked? What measures will you use to identify effectiveness? Include an introduction, conclusion and reference page to this assignment.

Review the lecture on Ethical Theories and Principles. The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics of this week on the basis of the course competencies covered. Introduction: In this week, the focus will be on deontological ethics. Tasks: Review the following case: Chelsea was preparing to drape Mr. Smith’s leg in OR 6 for surgery when she was approached by Nicole, the nurse manager. Nicole asked, “Chelsea, please come to OR 3. We have an emergency there and urgently need your skills to assist the surgeon.” Chelsea turned to Daniel, the surgical technician, and asked him to continue prepping Mr. Smith’s leg for surgery. Daniel prepped the leg prior to the surgeon entering the room. The surgeon entered the room a few minutes later and asked, “Where is Chelsea?” Daniel replied, “She was called away for an emergency in OR 3. Karen will be shortly in to assist us.” Following the surgery, Mr. Smith was transferred to the recovery room. While he was in the recovery room, a nurse was looking at the patient’s medical record as to the notes regarding the patient’s procedure during surgery. She noticed that the surgery was conducted on the wrong leg. Although there was a heated discussion between the surgeon and the nursing staff, each member of the staff had good intentions, but the outcome was not so good. Nonconsequentialists believe that right or wrong depends on the intention. They generally focus more on deeds and whether those deeds are good or bad. In this case, the intentions were good but the outcome was bad. It should be noted that nonconsequentialists do not always ignore the consequences. They accept the fact that sometimes good intentions can lead to bad outcomes. In summary, nonconsequentialists focus more on character as to whether someone is a good person or not. Nonconsequentialists believe that right or wrong depends on the intention. Generally, the consequentialist will focus more on outcomes as to whether they are good or bad. In a 2- to 3-page document, complete the following tasks: Describe how the nonconsequential theory of ethics applies in this case.Posit what questions a consequentialist might raise after reviewing the facts of this case and why. To support your work, use your course reading.As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
