Politics in the late 19th century
Politics in the late 19th century was nothing if not colorful. Discuss the key issues and political leaders of this era; then turn to the development of populism, one of the most important reform movements of the era. Trace its evolution and development. What were the populists’ assumptions about American life? How did they propose to reform the nation? Why was the election of 1896 such a great watershed in American political life.
Industrialization turned the United States into a great world power – at least on paper – and that in turn had a huge impact on American foreign policy. Analyze this transformation in American foreign policy and the overseas acquisitions that it led to by the early 20th century. Why do Americans prefer to talk about “expansion” rather than “imperialism” as so many others choose to do?
As the 20th century began, there emerged a new reform movement known as the Progressivism. With so many forces shaping its direction, it was nothing if not complex. Discuss the various forces that helped give rise to progressivism and which provided its strength and direction. Be sure to assess the accomplishments of progressivism at the city and state level – who were the leading figures and what did they accomplish? Progressivms is perhaps best known for what it accomplished, or tried to accomplish, on the national level, beginning with the administration of Theodore Roosevelt and followed by those of William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson. What were their programs and to what extent they were successful? In the final analysis, in what spheres did progressivism succeed and in what areas did it make little headway.
That is what should be answered by this essay.

COMMENTARY
Historians often refer to the late 19th century as the Gilded Age, a name drawn from a book by Charles Dudley Warner and Mark Twain, whom many believe to be the foremost novelist in American history. As we’ve seen from our studies of the American West, the rise of big business, and the new industrial city, it was a turbulent, if dramatic, time. And that certainly extended to politics and foreign policy. Industrialization created new social, economic, and political forces that struggled in the political arena, and they in turn led to the rise of reform movements, notably the greenbackers, the grangers, and the populists. Although they had only limited success, they formed the background of sweeping reforms to evolve in the 20th century. In foreign policy, the dramatic industrialization of the era converted the United States into a great world power, at least on paper. Although few Americans realized this quiet transformation, its mark became evident in the course of the 1890s.Yet how the U.S. would use its potentially vast new power in coming 20th century remained unknown.
The Progressive Movement was the first great reform thrust of the 20th century. Sometimes it seems as if it emerged out of nowhere, but in fact, it had important antecedents in the old greenback, granger, and populist movements of the late 19th century as well as in the social gospel and other urban reform initiatives of that time. For all practical purposes, Progressivism spanned the years from 1901 to 1917. It cut across party lines, and while it enjoyed important successes at the local and state levels, it is perhaps best known for what it accomplished at the national level during the presidencies Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt had what he termed Square Deal, Taft carried that on as best he could, and Wilson had what he called the New Freedom. But as Progressivism redefined the role of government in economic life, it also redefined both government and the presidency in the larger American landscape. Theodore Roosevelt was the great architect of big government, and he summed it all up in what he called “the bully pulpit.” His successors continued what he initiated to the point where some began to criticize what they termed “the imperial presidency” at century’s end. If the framers of the Constitution of 1787 had intended a tripartite division of government with the Congress the most important of the three, they might have been taken aback at the end of the 20th century when the presidency had long since come to dominate the political landscape. The Progressive Movement was central in this transformation.
STUDY HINTS
One of the great achievements of the late 19th century was motion picture film. If you can find a copy of “The Great Train Robbery,” which is Volume 1 of The American Cinema documentary series on videotape, you can view both early films of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, along with what are essentially brief documentaries of life at the turn-of-the-century. You may also wish to review this website as well: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/papr/mckhome.html for the Spanish-American War in film.

Hamlet By Shakespeare
The Play i chose for this assignment is Hamlet By Shakespeare, the writer must watch the play and provide a two page reflection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz6GL6AFphU Here is the play on youtube.
Plays are meant to be performed, rather than read.

To help develop your understanding of Shakespeare and the cultural role of the dramatic arts, you will view a production of a play this week and write a two-page reflection to explain your viewing experience.
Vision, Mission, and Values Statements
ision, Mission, and Values Statements
The course is structured so that each week you will work on specific segments of your marketing plan for the Final Project that is due in Week Six. This week you will choose a specific healthcare organization (HCO) and begin examining the products and services found in the HCO’s strategic plan. For this assignment, read Chapter 3 in the course text, which addresses the importance of the mission, vision, and values statements to organizations. Why is it important for an organization to have these statements? What purpose do they serve?
Next, research and choose a specific healthcare organization for your marketing plan. You could select the organization your currently work for, one you are familiar with, or one you would like to work for in the future. After selecting your HCO, conduct research online to locate the organization’s strategic plan and read its vision, mission, and values statements. Add the term strategic plan after the HCO’s name in the search engine box (e.g., Sharp Healthcare strategic plan) to narrow your search results.
In your assignment
· State your choice of HCO and explain why it interests you.
· State the organization’s vision, mission, and values statements
· Discuss whether the organization’s purpose and priorities are clearly defined
· Discuss whether the mission statement clearly separates the HCO from competing organizations.
· Include any ideas you have at this point for improving the mission statement in terms of aligning the HCO’s stated priorities with its products and services.
· Discuss whether the current vision statement correctly describes the HCO’s path as it implements the strategic plan.
o Could the current vision statement be utilized to motivate the organization’s workforce?
o If not, how would you reword the vision statement to better reflect high ideals and aspirations to fulfill the HCO’s strategic plan?
· Discuss whether the current values statement takes into consideration the values of multiple participants such as the community, employees, shareholders, and customers.
o How would you reword the current value statement to better reflect priorities found within the HCO’s strategic plan?
The assignment
· Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including the title page and references page) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

SWOT Analysis California Orthopedic Institute
This week’s assignment will allow you to generate content that you will incorporate into the Market Analysis section of your Final Project. To prepare for this assignment, read Chapter 4 of the course text and the article by Simoneaux and Stroud (2011). You may also want to review the recommended article by Valentin (2001).
During the analysis stage, you consider external factors that pose possible threats to or provide opportunities for your organization and compare these factors against your HCO’s internal operation to diagnose its strengths and weaknesses. Many HCOs have found it useful to conduct a SWOT analysis. SWOT is an acronym for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses refer to elements that are internal to the organization; opportunities and threats are external to the organization. An effective SWOT analysis helps the marketing team determine the healthcare organization’s position in a particular market place as well as the positions of its competitors. By analyzing the current market and the deficiencies of the HCO’s competitors, and by assessing the HCO’s internal strengths and weaknesses, the marketing team can reposition the organization to meet and exceed the needs of its customers.
For this assignment, you will conduct a detailed SWOT analysis of your chosen healthcare organization for your Final Project. Discuss your selected organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and possible threats.
The SWOT analysis should include the following five components:
- Strengths – An organization’s resources and capabilities that can be used as a basis for developing a competitive advantage.
- Weaknesses – Limitations of an organization to meet the needs of its determined customer base.
- Opportunities – External conditions that may reveal certain new opportunities regarding profit and growth.
- Threats – Factors or changes in the external environment that may present threats to the organization.
- Summary/Recommendations – After conducting your SWOT analysis, write a paragraph in which you provide your recommendations to the CEO of your chosen health care organization. Also, state how you will use this information to create a marketing plan that will ensure the following:
- The organization’s resources are not wasted
- Time is well spent
- Marketing efficiently is improved
The assignment
- Must be four double-spaced pages in length (not including the title page and references page) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
- Must include a separate title page with the following:
- Title of paper
- Student’s name
- Course name and number
- Instructor’s name
- Date submitted
- Must use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.
