Question description
The next essay to be graded in this class is due by midnight Friday, May 18. Any essay turned in afterwards will be counted as late and marked down unless prior notice is given. The essay should be a well-organized, well-supported analysis, around 6-8 pages, typed, and double-spaced. It should include a title and proper MLA in-text citation. DO NOT USE ANY OUTSIDE SOURCE FOR THIS ESSAY. As a result, no MLA work citation page is necessary.
The assignment is based on Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. The introduction of your paper should briefly summarize the landmark play, mentioning the characters and key moments of the plot (yeah, good luck with that!), and then explain what makes the novel a work of postmodernism, as opposed to classicism and maybe even modernism. Please quote and cite a passage from the play to support your argument.
As a thesis, deconstruct the play under the following terms:
First, critique the play’s characters in terms of existentialism: The body parts should be about whether a character controls their life through free will or fate: do the characters have the choices to live to their potential? Or are they fated to a certain end, without any chance to change their outcome? Again, focus on two or three characters and quote and cite passages as support.
Then, analyze the play in terms of Marxism. Again the body parts of your essay should be a critique of the bourgeois/Master and the proletariat/working class: how does power dictate actions and control over the characters? How are the characters “trapped” in their position? Focus on two or three passages that illustrate your points; do not rely on a summary to prove your argument.
In your conclusion, present the value of the play today in terms of what it is saying about drama and theater and the postmodern condition. Why does it resonate with persons placed in dire situations, such as after Hurricane Katrina or in the San Quentin Prison? How can it relate to the average person, like yourself, living in a postmodern world?
I have provided a very rough lesson after this one to answer an concerns you might have. If you still have any questions or wish to show me a draft of your paper, feel free to contact me during office hours or via email to schedule an appointment.

This assessment is built on the first assessment, as it aims to help you ground the theory of strategic health management in a workplace scenario that you are familiar with. In undertaking this assessment, you are developing the ideas and resources that will help inform Assessment 3. Learning objectives This assessment task is aligned to the following learning objectives:
Objective 1 – critically evaluate the concept of strategic management and the use of a strategic management model. Objective 3 – critically analyse and evaluate a range of skills and attributes relevant to being an effective health service manager. Objective 4 – identify strategic issues in health care and formulate and implement strategic management plans in relation to them. Objective 6 – incorporate the principles of justice and equity into planning and management of health services. Assessment details Your assignment should include the following: Describing the strategic issue and its strategic nature – A description of one problematic, or potentially problematic healthcare issue you have observed in a workplace organisation you have worked in or are familiar with. Please continue your work on the issue mentioned in Assessment 1. If necessary, you can seek permission use a different issue than the one from Assessment 1, however it is recommended that you build Assessment 2 on the original issue, to save time and be consistent throughout the assignments. – A description of looking at the issue, strategically or justification for the strategic nature of the issue from an ecological framework (e.g. how the issue is related to organisational, local, state and national levels).
MNG91220: Strategic Health Management
10
Justification/critical argument around the strategic issue (its drivers and consequences) – A critical rationale/argument around the key causes/drivers of the issue considering different attributes of a health services manager; why the issue has not been systematically addressed at different levels. Drivers of the strategic issue can be considered from a holistic point of view (e.g. different factors at different levels – issues related to population health, cost-efficiency, effectiveness of the services, such as consumers/staff satisfaction, managerial/organizational issues, etc.). – A critical argument about health care, justice and inequity consequences, if the issue stays unresolved (e.g. impacting on disparities and population health, budget/costefficiency, productivity/performance, etc.).
– Please incorporate different theories in discussing your review of the issue. – Please be advised that this assignment is mainly about theoretical points/argument about the issue, its drivers and consequences. There is no need to provide a remedial framework/plan for resolving the issue (this stage will be addressed in Assessment 3). – Please be advised that you are able to use some parts of Assessment 1, if relevant, however, information needs to be rephrased. Structure of assignment
Although there can be variations in preparing your discussion around assignment one, below outline can be considered in your writing. – A specific title for strategic issue – Strategic issue and its nature (e.g. including the justification/rationale that why the issue is strategic) – up to 3 paragraphs, 600 words – Drivers of strategic issue and its consequences if stays unresolved – up to 4 paragraphs, 900 words – References Using information from workplace: The assignments are designed to provide an opportunity to work with real workplace events to enhance the maximum relevance and possibility of translation of the work to practice. However, if there is no possibility of relating the assignments to the workplace, please describe the work in general terms and/or consider the case hypothetically. If using any real information from your workplace, it needs to be secondary (e.g. online report) not primary (e.g. conducting interview) as this would require ethical application. Use the information provided anonymously, and seek permission from your workplace, before the usage of the information for the purpose of the assignment. Writing a report – Please be advised that you can consider this report as an “evaluative report” (see link below). However, you can also just use the guidance provided above.
