1. Re-read Take a Closer Look: Exploring Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”  in your textbook.

2. Carefully listen to the piano piece “Clair de Lune” and critically examine its components, style, context, and influence. Listen for and try identifying at least TWO basic elements of music described in the required Module 6 textbook pages. You may also wish to refer back to the Module 6 Online Exploration resources as well as the required pages in your textbook for Module 6.

3. Read the essay “Musical Impressionism: The Early History of the Term” by Ronald L. Byrnside from The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 4 (October, 1980), pp. 522-537, published by Oxford University Press here in Module 6.

4.  Now that you’ve carefully examined and researched the work of music, write and submit the finished essay using at least three fully developed paragraphs and at least 500 words, in which you:

• Describe Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” analytically. In doing this, identify at least TWO basic elements of music described in the Module 6 required textbook pages “The Basic Elements of Music.”
• Identify the “mood” of the song. What kind of “Impression” does it give you?
• Explain whether “Clair de Lune” is Apollonian or Dionysian, and provide evidence supporting your argument.
• Knowing that “Clair de Lune” belongs to a musical school known as Impressionism (based on your research) describe the similarities and differences between Impressionism as an artistic movement (as we learned about in Module 5) and as a movement in music. Use evidence from “Clair de Lune” and your exploration of Impressionism to support your arguments.
• Conclude by commenting on whether or not you believe that Music and Visual Art should share an artistic classification such as “Impressionism.” In other words, does referring to “Clair de Lune” (the song) AND Claude Monet’s “Impression Sunrise” (the painting) both as “Impressionism” make sense? Or is this just an example of Academicians in Humanities making an unnecessary connection?
• Be sure to use and cite “Musical Impressionism: The Early History of the Term” by Ronald L. Byrnside and/or another essay you have already found and read as a research source article concerning the musical school and movement known as Impressionism.

Reviewing the concepts of ethnic conflict and totalitarianism:

Often students are confused on what constitutes an ethnic conflict. Before you select a topic for this assignment, be sure to review the information below to gain a better understanding of what constitutes Totalitarianism and ethnic conflict.

Totalitarianism and ethnic conflict are not the same as violent act committed by a police officer that was officially deemed as being racially motivated. Ethnic conflict is when government has discriminatory policies in place. Slavery and segregation were examples of ethnic conflict. Many students confuse recent events of violence or shooting by police officers on individuals as examples of ethnic conflict. However, not all of those actions were acts of racially motivated violence.  In addition, they were committed by individuals in the execution of their job, which are subject to review and oversight (administrative and legal), and if deemed excessive and/or racially motivated, will be sanctioned and prosecuted because they would go against standing policies and laws that do not allow excessive force in the execution of police duties or racially motivated violence against others (by police or any other person). In the 1960s and earlier, we had state governments requiring African Americans to be segregated. This was an example of ethnic conflict. We do not have government policy in this country today promoting the harassment or killing of people because of their race.

If a person kills another person, it is a legal issue. If the killing took place because of the race of the person, it is also a hate crime. It is not designated as ethnic conflict. Topics centered on racial inequity such as Black Lives Matter, while important and viable topics in the context of race relations and social justice, are not the same as ethnic conflict in Totalitarian regimes and so are not appropriate topics for this assignment.

SWOT Analysis PowerPoint 

Overview

Physicians and patients have been affected by the development and  implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT). There are many  other health care professionals and venues affected by significant  complexities and characteristics that make HIT implementation as  challenging. For example, standardized data formats are used to  facilitate data portability, work culture barriers, system costs,  training issues, and other matters. Some Emergency Medical Services  (EMS) providers have begun to use a variety of portable electronic  health records to collect data at the scenes of patient incidents with  systems designed to transmit data to receiving hospitals. Overall,  however, achieving the Nationwide Health Information Network has been  elusive due to administrative and technical difficulties.

Scenario

To achieve the HIT goals of improving health care quality and  reducing costs, extensive and rigorous work remains in the research and  implementation arenas. Assume you have just graduated with your Master’s  degree and you have passed a series of interviews at the top hospital  known as We Care Hospital. You are hired as the Chief Operating Officer  (COO) and your first task is to conduct a SWOT analysis of the HIT  system at We Care Hospital. Research the websites of your local hospital  and determine its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats  based on the ease of information, access for potential patients, and  clinical quality features located on its website that identify the basic  operations of the health care organization.

Instructions

Then, prepare a Microsoft PowerPoint 10-slide narrative using a SWOT  analysis. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses,  opportunities, and threats in a situation. Review the video, Strategic Planning and SWOT Analysis. To help you prepare the narrative PowerPoint using Microsoft 365 and older versions, review the video: Record a Slide Show With Narration and Slide Timings.

Your 10-slide SWOT PowerPoint should follow this format:

1. Slide 1: Cover Page.     
   • Include the title of your presentation, your name, the course number and course title, your professor’s name, and the date. 
2. Slide 2: Background or Executive Summary.      
   • Describe the details of the situation. Use bullets with short sentences. The title of this slide should be Executive Summary.
3. Slide 3: Thesis Statement.     
   • Identify the focus of your research. The title of this slide should be Thesis Statement.
4. Slides 4–9: Support.     
   • Support your thesis statement following the SESC formula: State, Explain, Support, and Conclude. 
   • You should include at least three court cases and related peer-reviewed articles from within the past five years. 
5. Slide 10: References.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For  assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing  Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your  professor for any additional instructions.

 use the attached PDF case study to answer the following in an apa style paper. 

1. What is the case about? Your answer should include a description of the three phases of TPA’s knowledge Management strategy and of the key actors and their roles.

2. What are the main points of the last meeting of the SharePoint Project committee? Present your answer in a table that clearly illustrates the viewpoints of four actors.

In order to allow for a more informed group discussion, you are also asked to individually reflect on the questions associated with each of the four activities described below.

1. What are the general characteristics of:

   a. The organizational environment at TPA,

   b. The SharePoint Project system as a kind of knowledge management system,

   c. The adoption process of SharePoint Project?

2. How can we position TPA’s efforts of knowledge management to support its strategic objectives? Expanding on the results from the second activity, what elements are misaligned? Why?

3. Drawing on existing methods, suggest an analysis and re-engineering approach which is tailored to this case. Explain where and how your approach deviates from the existing approaches.

4. How can we capture TPA’s tacit knowledge?

5. What should have been done differently to improve the chances of success of the implementation of SharePoint Project?
