Analyze the vulnerability profiles—physical, social, economic, and environmental—for your selected community.

For this assignment, please complete the following: Summarize the community’s hazard profile using the hazards identified in your Unit 3 assignment. Analyze the capability of the community’s emergency management systems to cope with identified hazards, fleshing out what you started in your Unit 1 assignment. Analyze the vulnerability profiles—physical, social, economic, and environmental—for your selected community. Qualitatively estimate the vulnerability rating for each of the four profiles. Provide a rationale for your estimates. For this course, we will use a simple, estimated qualitative approach to predicting the vulnerability. Please be aware that FEMA has provided resources and training for the analysis of vulnerability. If you are tasked with planning and managing a vulnerability analysis in a work environment, it is strongly recommended that you seek further training. FEMA provides details in the HAZUS program. Three components define the vulnerability of a community: The community’s hazard profile,which you determined in Unit 3:  The existence of a hazard creates vulnerability. The capability of the community’s emergency management systemsto manage disasters, which you determined in Unit 1:  Emergency management capabilities and capacities are shaped by a society’s need for their services, primarily a factor of vulnerability. The four vulnerability profiles:  Physical: what in the built environment is physically at risk of being affected. Social: individual, societal, political, and cultural factors that increase or decrease a population’s propensity to incur harm or damage resulting from a specific hazard. Economic: financial means of individuals, towns, cities, communities, or nations to protect themselves from the effects of disasters. Environmental: health and welfare of the natural environment within the area of study that either contributes to or reduces the propensity of the affected population to incur the consequences. Use the following categories to estimate the vulnerability rating for each of the four vulnerability profiles in your selected community. Very High:One or more major weaknesses that make the asset extremely susceptible to an aggressor or hazard have been identified. High:One or more significant weaknesses that make the asset highly susceptible to an aggressor or hazard have been identified. Medium High:An important weakness that makes the asset very susceptible to an aggressor or hazard has been identified. Medium:A weakness that makes the asset fairly susceptible to an aggressor or hazard has been identified. Medium Low:A weakness that makes the asset somewhat susceptible to an aggressor or hazard has been identified. Low:A minor weakness that slightly increases the susceptibility of the asset to an aggressor or hazard has been identified.

Briefly describe one of the patterns of knowing from Carper’s (1978) patterns of knowing (i.e., empirics, esthetics, personal knowledge, or ethics) or Chinn & Kramer’s (2018) additional pattern of knowing (i.e., emancipatory knowing).

Briefly describe one of the patterns of knowing from Carper’s (1978) patterns of knowing (i.e., empirics, esthetics, personal knowledge, or ethics) or Chinn & Kramer’s (2018) additional pattern of knowing (i.e., emancipatory knowing). Within the description, define the pattern. Then, discuss at least one way that the pattern on which you are writing this paper is applicable to your chosen advanced practice nursing role (e.g., family nurse practitioner role or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner role) and/or will impact your practice in this role. This paper requires a minimum of one primary reference and the primary reference(s) must at least include Carper (1978) if you are writing on one of the four patterns first identified by Carper as a pattern of knowing in nursing or Chinn & Kramer (2018) if you are writing on the emancipatory pattern of knowing as identified as a pattern of knowing in nursing by Chinn & Kramer.

Discuss how adequate training in cross-cultural communication and exposure to other cultures is essential in eliminating barriers.

Cross-Cultural Communication: Direct vs. Indirect Each culture has its own values and norms. Living in a society where direct communication is the norm, and then conducting business or managing an employee who has grown up in a society where indirect communication is the norm can create some unwanted anxiety and tension. For example, According to Brett, Behfar, and Kern (2006): Communication in Western cultures is typically direct and explicit. The meaning is on the surface, and a listener doesn’t have to know much about the context or the speaker to interpret it. This is not true in many other cultures, where meaning is embedded in the way the message is presented. For example, Western negotiators get crucial information about the other party’s preferences and priorities by asking direct questions, such as “Do you prefer option A or option B?” In cultures that use indirect communication, negotiators may have to infer preferences and priorities from changes—or the lack of them—in the other party’s settlement proposal. In cross-cultural negotiations, the non-Westerner can understand the direct communications of the Westerner, but the Westerner has difficulty understanding the indirect communications of the non-Westerner.

Whose analysis of history is more useful; Marx or Nietzsche?

These are the instructions from the professor: “Compose a Thesis statement choosing one theorist over the other, giving a reasoned explanation as to why you have made this judgment.  Then analyze the concept of “history” and support and develop your main thesis idea with subordinate arguments addressing the following sub-sections: 1.Dialectical materialism or genealogical 2.Class struggle or cultural critique 3.Emancipation  Then, identify and address the main weakness in your thesis (the counter-argument) by finding the truth in the opposition.  Then, follow this up by countering the counter-argument, thus transcending and incorporating the opposing point within your own perspective/argument. Last, bring it all home with a strong conclusion.
