Movie And Book Reflection Introduction Hidden Figures, a film that was directed by Theodore Melfi and one that was written by Melfi and Allison Schroeder, is a story of racism and stereotyping. It focusses on three African American women who were mathematicians and who played a critical role in NASA. This was during the early years of space program development. The film reflects the 1960s when the blacks were discriminated against and segregated by the whites. The film is an excellent example of how racism was propagated during that time. Moreover, it is s story of success where three black American girls concurred the impossibilities and performed exemplary well (Cruz, 2017). From history, the contribution of women in society has been downplayed and have always been looked at as being inferior. The main characters in the film are Katherine Goble Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, who exhibited excellence while in NASA. They were crucial in making the calculations that allowed the Apollo II mission to the moon and back. However, the three women faced several challenges as they worked…
Was the presentation professionally presented with information on fraud and abuse? The presentation covered the essential information on fraud and abuse by defining both terms, giving examples that highlight what fraud and abuse are. Also, it covered the laws that are in play to help prevent fraud and abuse. A question posed on coronavirus was well answered as per the requirement. Did the presentation contain the speaker’s notes to tell you what the slide covered? The presentation, however, has no speaker notes that express more content of what the slide cover. Speaker notes are crucial since they give the reader more insight into what the slide is covering If you were a new employee, would you feel that this presentation prepared you for working in the health care field? The presentation has details that can help prepare to work in the healthcare field, but not sufficient enough to guarantee the quality of services rendered and management of law-related matters that deal with fraud and abuse.

: How Would You Test a Child’s Ability to Narrate a Story? Narrative development is the ability of a child to use language in telling stories, while the bilingual children are those with English as their second language after the mother tongue. Narrative development and disorder are, therefore, an impairment whereby a child experiences specific difficulties in production and comprehension of the narrative discourse, which is not deemed obvious in sentence performance and isolation according to(Reyes). Option 2: How Would You Test a Child’s Ability to Narrate a Story? I will test the child’s ability to tell stories through using the child’s characteristics, for instance, when my learners omit some specific links. I will know that the child’s audience is missing a clear causal relationship. The audience would be misguided in main understanding points of the events based on the child’s narration of the story. (Goldstein & Goldstein, 2012) suggest that children with the storytelling ability always possess specific links and causal relationships for their audience to follow the flow and the plots of their stories. Consequently, the children with…

Notes and Responses Slide 1 All Muslims around the world irrespective of their race, age and colour are allowed to attend the event. Over two million people attend the avenue. Travelling agents facilitate travelling plans in their countries. Not all applications are accepted. The number is limited because of space and challenges associated with managing a huge crowd (Yamin, 2015). Several processes are followed in making the event successful. The two processes under focus in this analysis, are movement coordination and management of health services. Slide 2 The Health Management System used in Hajj management is purposed at helping the organizers of the event to avoid cases of health risks. Several viral diseases which are highly contagious continue to break. The effect could be huge, where people are in close contact (Yamin, 2015). That is raising an alert to the organizers of the event and the government of Saudi Arabia. However, the current system is doubted if it can prevent emerging risks. Possibly, it is not easy to manage the crowd. The strategy used currently is more of manual, although…
Journal 2 Reflection Introduction The need for social work that is relevant to Indigenous societies has prompted the development of Aboriginal social work. Indigenous people form a significant percentage of service users, especially in countries that were colonized. The prevailing social work practice is adopted from Western culture and, therefore, not very helpful for Indigenous people, families, and communities. Critical Reflection The assumption that Western thought ought to be the conventional thought in most educational platforms is quite harmful. This assumption has led to the marginalization of Indigenous people in social work education through erroneous penning of their culture, language, and history. Both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal social workers that have gone through the Western system of knowledge might not be adequately equipped to handle the needs of the Indigenous population (Sinclair, 2004). The only sure way for social work students to learn about Aboriginal people is through cross-cultural social work education and practice. This necessitates Aboriginal social work education, which incorporates the history and culture of Indigenous populations to ensure both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal social workers are adequately equipped to…

As a survivor of the 60’s scoop, Lori recalls the difficulties she faced while growing up. Not only was her foster mother cruel and abusive, but she also despised her ethnicity and was not reluctant to express the inferiority she perceived of her.

Role of Government in the Legislative Process Covid-19 has emerged as a global problem, which, besides leading to numerous deaths, has had a severe impact on the economy and way of life. In such pandemics, the government serves as a natural leader for overall communication and coordination efforts. The government can particularly prevent the spread through the legislative process. Through legislation, the government should establish an emergency paid leave benefits program. Also, the government should suspend education to reduce the spread of the illness. Knowing that food is the major problem, the government should enact policies and programs requiring the provision of food supplies to severely impacted families. Moreover, the government should reduce taxation. This will help families purchase essential supplies. It is vital as it will help reduce the movement of people. The widespread of Covid-19 indicates that the government has failed to address the issue. The U.S government underestimated the impact of Covid-19. President Trump dismissed coronavirus as few cases that would be addressed with fewer efforts (Sanger, Lipton, Sullivan & Crowley, 2020). Following this announcement, no serious…
