Reflection on Poor Kids’ Video Watching the movie was emotionally and brought me to tears. It is exceptional documentation of poverty through children’s eyes. While food, clothing, and shelter are regarded as basic human needs, the children in this documentary lack these services. At the beginning of the video, we are introduced to four young children from poor backgrounds. What caught my attention most is Britany’s statement, “I think that there are many people in America who need help with food.” Her statement is an illustration of the widespread suffering among many communities in the USA. Although childhood is a period of exploration, fun, and curiosity, these children are faced with the constant worry of their next meal. Despite the suffering, Britany appears to be an opportunistic individual. She documents the ordeals that she faced. The ordeals began after their father lost his job. Consequently, they were rendered homeless and had to move their belongings to a storage facility. In another scene, Britany explains her experience in a cold shower during winter. Their power has been disconnected due to unpaid…
Magic of Culturally Responsive Pedagogy Nawang Phuntsog (998) article is a review of various literary works. The author hopes to instructors, teachers, and administrators that need to adapt to teaching methods that respond to different cultures. By examining each author’s works, Nawang Phuntsog (1998) describes things such as-publishing handbooks that guide teachers in handling diverse classrooms-that writers feel have assisted in providing and fulfilling culturally responsive learning. This article by Nawang Phuntsog (1998) is crucial because it addresses ideas that help in achieving culturally responsive teaching by referring to the works of other authors regarding the same. For instance, Phuntsog presents Wlodkowski and Ginsberg’s proposed framework that they believe is essential in helping the public schools in incorporating responsive cultural pedagogy. Additionally, Phuntsog appreciates Huber’s work that asserts that culturally responsible content and frameworks recognize the effects of culture, language, race, gender, religion, and socioeconomic level, among other essential aspects. However, one major weakness of Nawang Phuntsog’s (1998) article is that it fails to address the conflicting side of the topic. The author concentrated on the positive impacts of developing…
Strategic Management in Action Case #3: Netflix Question 1 Based on the case study, the most effective strategy for Netflix should be a prospector strategy. A prospector strategy is a competitive policy that focuses on spurring the opportunities that currently exist in the market for the company. One of the most prudent strategies that should be adopted by Netflix is innovation.

Nevertheless, some of these problems can be solved by starting up a storage and warehouse company. Amazon has lately altered the way in which people shop forever, and that means if the small businesses do not adjust accordingly, they may be kicked out of the market. To deal with this problem, therefore, you can start up a warehouse and storage company since the United Kingdom is mostly dependent on its employees and small businesses. This would allow you to be paid a monthly fee for these businesses to use your storage and warehouse facilities (Mike, n.d.).

Nursing as a Profession Nursing is a profession because it requires training for a specific period to obtain academic qualifications. It is also a profession since it ensures that there is a competent performance from the people within the field. Nurses also show professionalism by their characteristics, such as acting following the established code of conduct (Kearney, 2015). They also have autonomy of practice, which gives them the authority to decide about their patient’s care and the freedom to make judgments about their treatment. This makes nursing a profession since their way of work has characteristics that are common to any other profession. Nursing is both an art and science. This is because nursing and caring involve striking a relational understanding and unity between the nurse and the patient. This shows that nursing is a task-oriented approach that makes it an art. Nursing also involves the development of theories and practicals that demonstrates how to improve how the nurses give the patients care. This creates a science since it based on discovering new ways to do healthcare better service. As…
Ho-Chunk Nation History and Background of the Ho-Chunk Nation The Ho-Chunk Nation consists of a native American people who speak the Siouan native language.

Long before the Europeans ventured into the Ho-Chunk territory, the native people resided near Lake Winnebago in temporal houses. Their main economic activities included hunting, gathering and substantial farming. In line with Kathy (2018), the native tribe was made up of twelve clans, each associated with a different spirit.

Myths concerning creation Myths concerning creation take various forms. Creation stories are very broad and split into sections depending on what creation emerged from. This paper will compare and contrast the Mesopotamia story of creation, focusing on Enuma Elish and Egyptian creation story focusing on Memphite theology. The Memphite theology is grounded around Ptah, who becomes the primordial fire and provides its substance. The Enuma Elish recounts the struggle between cosmic order and chaos. Although the two myths have several similarities, they also have several differences. The Mesopotamia myth Enuma Elish starts with the word “when on high.” Egyptian myth, Memphite theology, is written on the Shabaka Stone, which is a prominent significant relic. The Memphite theology has an essential aspect in common to the Mesopotamia Enuma Elish. In both Egyptian and Mesopotamia myths, deities emerge from another god. In Egypt, there is Ptah, an essential figure for the Egyptian city of Memphis. The other deities in Egypt were created from Ptah. Even for Enuma Elish in Mesopotamia, there is a genealogy of gods. Another similarity is the creation of…
