Week 4 Assignment His315

The Ethics of Remembrance

Documentary filmmaker Claude Lanzmann has accused Steven Spielberg’s film  Schindler’s List of trivializing the holocaust by attempting to represent what cannot be represented. Philosopher Richard Kearney defends  Schindler’s List in his essay, “ Narrative and the Ethics of Remembrance ,” arguing that narrative representation is essential to cultural identity.

In two to three pages (excluding title and reference pages), argue your own position on the representation of the Holocaust. Can the Holocaust be represented in a way that honors the unimaginable suffering of the victims? Be sure to defend your view against the objections of the opposing side. Cite Kearney, Lanzmann, and other authors, as appropriate.

Assignment: Signature Assignment: Compose a Project Plan

As you prepare your Signature Assignment this week, please keep in mind that for your Week 8 assignment, you will review and respond to faculty feedback provided for this week’s Signature Assignment. You will also reflect on the course content, concepts, and course competencies, and critically analyze how these elements impact and/or advance your career interests and degree program pathway. 

All projects start with a plan. In this assignment, you will create a project plan responsive to the ongoing scenario weaving the assignments of this course together.

Scenario:

You are a healthcare administrator in a popular healthcare facility in your community. This facility has decided to expand its telemedicine capabilities to better reach community members with limited physical access to the facility. You have previously been involved in the exploration of this expansion and have been assigned the development of a project plan to initiate and guide the project. In particular, you have identified that the EHR system will require upgrading to accommodate the delivery of telemedicine services better. Since this EHR is also used to support inpatient and ambulatory services, you will need to minimize any disruptions to patient care and daily operations, which will continue during project integration.

You will create a project plan, including each of the project management knowledge areas (Glandon, 2013). Incorporate your previous assignments to address the appropriate elements of your project plan.

Ensure your project plan addresses:

· Ongoing strategic evaluation of the expanded telemedicine services.

· The primary measures that will be used to determine which EHR system to purchase and implement.

· Steps that will be required to install and launch the selected EHR system while continuing to maintain normal clinic operations. Indicate why implementing in this manner is important.

· The anticipated timeline for implementation.

· The performance metrics that will be monitored over time to indicate the success or failure of the implementation and ongoing performance. Expand upon what data would be desirable or what data would be considered problematic for each of the metrics.

Length: 8-12 pages

References: Include a minimum of 2-3 additional scholarly references, beyond those included in previous assignments. The total number of references should be a minimum of 12-15.

Comprehensive Literature Review

Assignment:

Now that you have successfully determined the potential steps to take when preparing and writing a comprehensive literature review, it is time to put some of your readings into action. 

1. Using a selective database (e.g., ERIC or ProQuest), you are to follow steps 1 through 4 in the text and collect a minimum of 10 specific articles, dissertations, books, white papers, etc., that may support your topic of interest that you presented in the earlier modules. 

2. Explain briefly how each selected reference supports the topic chosen for the research discussed during the first module.

3. Using the examples found in the online link to Annotated Bibliography, you are to create at least 10 references as your assignment.  https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/graduate_writing/thesis_and_dissertation/getting_started.html

4. Be sure to include each summary rationale as to what each selected reference adds to further knowledge on the subject.

You are also expected to share where any specific reference either supports or refutes another reference that has been included in the prepared Annotated Bibliography. Be sure to carefully follow the proper APA format rules when listing the reference before adding your descriptive information. 

For each bibliographical reference, provide a summary description of 150-200 words. Focus your description on the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the study.   

Assignment Expectations

Length: 1500 – words; answers must thoroughly address the questions in a clear, concise manner. 

Structure: Include a title page and reference page in APA style. These do not count towards the minimum word count for this assignment. 

References: Use the appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions. Include at least ten (10) scholarly sources to support your claims.

Format: Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx).

Filename: Name your saved file according to your first initial, last name, and the assignment number (for example, “RHall Assignment 1.docx”) 

Human Resource Systems

Choose one of the privacy laws (Privacy Act of 1974, FCRA, Electronic Communications Privacy Act, HIPAA, or Sarbanes-Oxley Act), and discuss the implication for an HRIS in protecting employee and employer information.

In responding to your peers, identify how each law may impact the performance of the HRIS. In other words, what information or features might users want in an HRIS that may or may not be available given what is noted in the privacy law identified.

Week 4 Dis1 His 315

Reading: [Nigerian author Chinua Achebe]  Things Fall Apart, Part 1 (Chapters 1-13, p. 3-125) and Excerpt from {Elie Wiesel’s}  Night (in Constellation text, Ch. 6)

Viewing: Schindler’s List (students should be able to borrow the DVD from their local library) [You may also locate it using other sources.]

Discussion:  Compare the literary description of the holocaust in Elie Wiesel’s  Night with the cinematic portrayal of similar events in Steven Spielberg’s  Schindler’s List.  Is literature or cinema more powerful in depicting the [Jewish] holocaust?  Why?  Cite specific scenes from the film and specific lines from the reading to support your claims.  How do you think filmmaker Claude Lanzmann would answer this question?  Why? 

What do you think Lanzmann would say about Wiesel’s book?  Once you have a clear understanding of the issues about Holocaust remembrance, you may want to apply the same reasoning to history in general.  Is the holocaust unique in its ethics of remembrance, or does the same reasoning apply to all history?  Is literature or cinema a more appropriate tool for depicting historical narratives?
