DISCUSSION POST 1
American Psychological Association (APA) format is the most recognized method used in social sciences disciplines (Staines, 2019). APA style originated in 1929 when a group of social scientists convened and established a simple set of guidelines that would codify many components of scientific writing to increase the ease of reading comprehension (American Psychological Association 2019). The guidelines are published in a book by the association and are now in its seventh edition. The primary purpose of the APA style is to facilitate scientific communication by promoting clarity of expression and by standardizing the organization and content of research articles and book chapters (Chiang et al., 2015).
APA style is needed to provide uniformity and consistency in papers. In the fields of psychology and sociology, the APA style has a significant influence. It provides a consistent method for writing and organizing academic papers and assignments. This includes the structure of the paper, the citation of sources, and the presentation of statistical data.
The APA style is important because it ensures consistency across papers and journals, making it easier for readers to follow the paper’s logic and narrative. It also enhances the writer’s credibility and aids in avoiding plagiarism by requiring citation of sources. APA style makes writing research easier since it provides a basic layout including what information to present, the order in which to show it, and the style to present it in. This makes it easier to read about research when it’s presented familiarly (Chiang et al., 2015).

DISCUSSION POST 2
When anthropologists, psychologists, and business managers got together in 1929, they tried to come up with a short set of rules, or style standards, that would simplify the various elements of scientific writing and make it easier for readers to understand what they were reading. This is how APA style has come to be. The elements of academic writing that are most relevant to writing in the domains of nursing, communications, business, psychology, engineering, and allied fields are covered by APA Style. It focuses on preparing student articles for a course assignment and draft manuscripts that are submitted to journals for publication. Ideas flow naturally, references are properly cited, and documents are regularly and predictably ordered when style is used correctly. Individuals are described in a way that upholds their dignity and sense of worth. To enable readers to assess findings and prospective replication of the studies by other researchers, the authors account for ethical compliance and disclose pertinent aspects of their study process. Data is presented in tables and figures in an eye-catching, dependable way. Consistency in writing is encouraged by APA Style, and the APA Style founders took this into consideration while creating its requirements. Over time, consistency in style aids writers in understanding and correctly implementing the rules.

Module 2 – SLP
ACQUIRING AND RETAINING TALENT
Overview
Signature Assignment: Written Communication, Reinforced level
In this assignment, your written communications skills will be assessed. The written communications rubric will be useful for this purpose. In the course MGT302, written communication skills were assessed at the “introduced” level. In MGT407, they will be assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in MGT491 your written communication skills will be assessed at the “mastered” level. The grading rubric for written communication at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT407 Case 3 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective assignments.
In an interview with Dr. Edward Hallowell, Harrison (2011) discussed Hallowell’s Cycle of Excellence as a five-step process that managers can use to foster high performance in their organizations.
According to Hallowell, to manage employees, managers must first employ them, which is the first step—(1) Select.
(2) Connect is the next is to determine if a new employee fits into the organization.
The next two steps, (3) Play and (4) Grapple and Grow, go together because they are actions taken by employees along with their managers. These growth opportunities go a long way to increase job satisfaction and productivity levels.
The final step, (5) Shine, occurs when managers recognize employees for a job well done.

Use the following search terms in the library search box: Human Resource Management International Digest Interview with Edward M. Hallowell. The article should appear. Click on either ‘full text” or “Full text-PDF”).
Assignment
Draw on the material in the background readings and conduct additional research to prepare a magazine article in which you:
Briefly analyze the five steps of the Cycle of Excellence and use it as a springboard to create your own cycle of excellence.
Develop your own cycle of excellence and explain its steps. Your cycle should show creativity and critical thinking and consideration for diversity/equity/inclusion.
Discuss how the cycle of excellence you have developed is the optimum approach for managing human capital.
The magazine article you are writing should be similar to an article you might find in TD: Talent Development (magazine of the Association for Talent Development) or in HR Magazine (magazine for the Society for Human Resource Management, SHRM). Both are found in the Trident Online Library, and samples found on their respective websites.
Utilize at least three other reference sources to build your article. Cite sources within your paragraphs and include them in a references list at the end of your article. (Note: Even though practitioner magazine articles at times do not cite sources or have a reference section, they are needed for our academic purposes. See the Introduction to APA 7th Edition for additional information.
Include a cover page and a reference page.
Note that the deliverable for this assignment is not an essay paper, but rather a journal article formatted like other published journal articles. (Most articles are written in columnar form, with some color and graphics to provide visual appeal. The more interesting the article is the better.)

Environmental Justice and Hexavalent Chromium: Addressing Water Contamination in Poor Communities
As part of this Environmental Justice module, we will focus on hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)). Chromium occurs in 3 valent states Cr(III), and Cr(VI). Cr(VI) is the compound present in oxic environments.
Below are different resources to help you to understand the problem.
Please summarize on what you learned while reviewing the materials. Please focus on the following:
a) In terms of environmental justice what is necessary to help people living in poorer communities to deal with water contamination such as hexavalent chromium.
b) Please analyze the water composition for the City of Live Oak and the new minimum contamination level Ca has just introduced. Do you think the minimum containment level is low enough given the cost to clean the water?
c) What should be done if a location has groundwater Cr(VI)-levels just below the new Ca MCL standard?
Please inform yourself given the links below and upload your opinion in a word document.
Hexavalent Chromium is also of current interest because California the nation’s first water standard for cancer-causing contaminant to 10 ug/L just recently in April 2024.
Of course not every pollutant can be traced to some company or other human induced activity. Groundwater in some place has naturally elevated chromium.

Title: Descriptive Statistics for National Cancer Institute Data by Race/Ethnicity Groups The National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data on patient demographics every year, providing valuable information for healthcare professionals to understand differences between groups and inform research, treatment options
here is often a requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within an organization or for health care information. Every year, the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals about research, treatment options, or patient education.
Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the race/ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the topic Resources, as needed, for assistance with creating Excel formulas.
Provide the following descriptive statistics:
Measures of central tendency: mean, median, and mode.
Measures of variation: variance, standard deviation, and range (a formula is not needed for range).
Once the data are calculated, provide a 150-250-word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups. -
Title: The Relationship Between England and Its Colonies and Its Impact on the American Revolution The relationship between England and its colonies played a crucial role in the events leading up to the American Revolution. The colonists’ grievances against British policies and actions
After reviewing the relationship between England and its colonies, analyze its effect on the American Revolution by answering the following questions: Did England have a right to tax the colonists? Were the colonists justified in resisting British policies after the French and Indian War?
Was the American Revolution solely a revolt against taxes or was the break away from the mother country inevitable?
Would you have been part of the revolution? In what way?
