Chronic Disease Education Essay

For the past three years Joan and Bill Taylor have lived with their daughter Grace.
Joan is 81 years old and was diagnosed with dementia two years ago. Bill is 82 years old and very frail.
Grace felt unable to cope with both parents at home and as a result of this, four days ago, Joan was admitted into an aged care facility.

Since arriving at the facility, Joan has been wandering around in the facility and upsetting residents by removing personal items from their rooms. Joan left the facility unescorted this morning after a visitor let her out as they were leaving. Although she was found very quickly and was unharmed this may be an ongoing problem, as the facility does not have a specific secure area for persons with dementia who wander and there is a long waiting list for facilities with a secure dementia wing.

Joan gets very anxious and can become aggressive if she does not get her own way. On two occasions she has pushed care assistants. Joan will refuse to take medications at times when upset.

In addition to this, there is a new staff member who knows nothing about dementia and wants to know what it is and how to deal with Joan’s aggression.

Did the Nazi ‘Final Solution’ emerge through ‘improvisation’ or ‘deliberate planning’?

Instructions for the Research Essay (60%)

Topic: Did the Nazi ‘Final Solution’ emerge through ‘improvisation’ or ‘deliberate planning’?

Word Limit: 2,500 words, typed, double-spaced, with reasonable margins. Remember to number your pages. Please proofread your work carefully before submission.

Please find the following information for your kind reference. Please read the attached files according to the following order:

Research Essay Guidelines

It has the guideline listed in details and the marking criteria of what to be expected for the paper so please make sure you strictly adhere to the standard as listed in the essay guidelines.

IMPORTANT:
BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCES MUST BE USED ACCORDING TO PAGE 3 UNDER BIBLIOGRAPHY SECTION.
Aim for a range of sources (books, articles, newspaper reports, government documents, documentaries, memoirs), and for a mix of primary and secondary materials. In your bibliography list primary and secondary source separately. You are expected to have a minimum of 12 sources (primary plus secondary) in your bibliography.

All in all, please be sure to properly cite in footnotes of any primary/secondary sources you use (including the primary source itself) and you must include a bibliography – reference list has to be attached in the final page.

Structure of the Research Essay (include sub-headings)

– Introduction: Argument (come up with your own argument), Topic (formulate your own topic), Outline (what will you be talking about?)
– Body: You must present 3 key points minimally of reasons you think the ‘Final Solution’ emerge through ‘improvisation’ or ‘deliberate planning.’ (one point for each paragraph and remember the topic sentence must be clear)
– Conclusion: Summary (summarise your content), Larger Context and Open Questions
What I meant by larger context and open questions is that you situate the essay topic in a larger context – this can be for instance the larger field of genocide studies (‘what does the case discussed in the essay tell us about genocide more in general?’) and / or historiography (this can be e.g. the study of Germany, Turkey, Cambodia, Rwanda etc more in general – which part within the history of these countries does genocide play?) and / or other cases of genocide.
Regarding open questions: these usually come up while you’re doing your research and concern open ends, things that are interesting, that you would like to know more about, that have not been addressed in the sources and the secondary literature (one example would be: the role of women in genocide both as victims and as perpetrators). These are things that you find surprising, interesting, worth pursuing further.

To make everything easier, I’ve attached the link in the following for your kind information though it has also been outlined in the second page of the guidelines. Please kindly ensure these details are strictly adhered – also to consider of the fact that the referencing part is normally the easiest page to earn some free points.

Machiavelli

an essay on one topic:
1. If you have ever had any position of leadership–whether a club, household, organization–explain if Machiavelli’s summation of how to be an effective leader, using at least three support points, is sound.

2. If you have never been in a position of leadership but been a part of some governed organization–school, church, classroom–explain if the leaders observed have been effective, and if so, which of Machiavelli’s principles did they seem to practice; and if not, which one of Machiavelli’s principles did they seem to not know or ignore. Note, this is a personal essay so requires use of personal–I, me, my, etc.–pronouns.

3. Presuming that after your college experience, you will go on to some level of leadership–whether on a committee, in a business, in a home (single or multi-member)–which of Machiavelli’s principles of leadership ring true for you and that you will either remember and/or practice? See note on number 2 about personal pronouns.
