What is Position?

Position as an academic topic spans a wide range of disciplines, from business administration and public policy to nursing, education, and personal development. Courses in organizational behavior, healthcare management, political science, and professional writing all prompt students to examine what it means to hold, argue for, or strategically occupy a position — whether that refers to a job role, a policy stance, a formal argument, or a place within an institution. The topic is academically interesting precisely because it sits at the intersection of identity, authority, knowledge, and strategy, requiring writers to think carefully about how individuals and organizations establish and justify where they stand.

The papers collected here take notably varied approaches. Some are analytical, examining how organizations and companies leverage employee experience and satisfaction to strengthen their competitive position. Others are policy-oriented, addressing issues in education, nursing practice, or public administration, including cultural diversity in nursing and the role of strategic planning in public policy. Still others are personal and reflective, asking writers to assess their own professional success, goals, and future plans. Case analyses and reviews — including examinations of leadership models in healthcare and the effects of deregulation on global finance — round out the range with applied, evidence-based approaches.

A strong essay on this topic begins with a clearly scoped thesis that specifies whose position is being examined and in what context — avoiding the common pitfall of treating "position" so broadly that the argument loses focus. Evidence drawn from organizational data, policy documents, professional guidelines, or concrete personal experience tends to carry the most weight. Writers should connect their specific case or argument back to broader principles, whether about leadership, institutional design, or professional identity, to demonstrate analytical depth beyond simple description.

Appalachian Trail Conservancy's $250,000 grant proposal for land acquisition and facility renovation

This project will implement a multi-agency, public-private effort to create safe visitor access, rehabilitate existing resource damage, and reconstruct trails in a premier, heavily-used, rock climbing and hiking area located within a quarter-mile of the Harpers Ferry (State Highway 340). Located within close proximity to the byway, nationally designated for its scenic qualities, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy provides byway travelers ready access to recreational opportunities to take in the scenic beauty of the area by providing access to a variety of climbing and easy hiking opportunities to view amazing rock formations and beautiful scenery. To enhance the byway traveler experience, this project will improve vehicle-pedestrian highway safety; provide for hiker and rock climber safety and education; provide for natural resource protection/rehabilitation/education; and provide a unique ‘get out of the car and walk' byway experience. This includes the provision of an off-highway, family-safe, parking facility from the byway that serves as a trailhead to the climbing and hiking area, and the development and dissemination of consistent resource protection and education messages from all partners across agency boundaries. This project benefits the byway traveler by providing safe, stable, hiking trail opportunities free of visible natural resource damage that wind between towering rock formations and large diameter ponderosa pine trees, provides opportunities to view or climb alongside rock climbers practicing their sport, catch a glimpse of local wildlife, and foster appreciation for and stewardship of the byway's resources.

Stanley Milgram's experiments on obedience to authority and social influence

The contribution of Stanley Milgram has been significant in the field of social psychology. Milgram conducted experiments of human behavior in a laboratory setting and concluded that obedience to authority usually disregards moral or legal normative standards. An individual's behavior is thus shaped by the environment, people around, and his figure of authority. "Because humans are social animals, human behavior is strongly influenced by behavior of other humans; this influence is often very direct"(Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2003; Pg. 18). The current paper investigates as to what extent the human behavior is influenced by others. The paper adopts an investigative approach and cites peer reviewed articles to substantiate the discussion. Social identity theory is also an important theoretical explanation that explains how and why an individual voluntarily gets influenced from socially constructed relationships.

Accrual accounting in Columbus, Georgia's municipal financial reporting

According to Figure A-1, Major Features of Columbus Consolidated Government's Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements, the accrual accounting method is the city's preferred form of accounting, in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Accrual accounting is used within all of Columbus' citywide bookkeeping because the GASB has issued clear mandates as to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that municipal governments can implement. As the CAFR states, "the government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements" (Hodge, 2012). The stated reason for using this accounting method is that "under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows" (Hodge, 2012). Accrual accounting is the preferred form of accounting used by municipal governments because it provides a more accurate representation of a city's financial situation, with the formerly typical practice of transferring one year's debts to the next fiscal year curtailed entirely.

The Battle of the Aleutians: American response and Pacific strategy

This study concerns the Battle for the Aleutians which was the only time during World War II that Japanese occupied American soil and was the first incursion on American soil since the War of 1812. The Aleutian Islands were strategically significant during World War II for both sides but many military historians agree that both sides would have been better off if they had foregone this campaign. The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the primary and secondary peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning this battle to develop an informed answer to the study's guiding research question: "How might the American response to the Japanese invasion and occupation be directly linked to the chain of events in the Pacific, and did the ‘forgotten battle' mobilize Americans more than historians have admitted?"
