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.

Three Pronged Symbolic System of the Totem Pole Potlatch and Tamawanas Dance

This essay has to do with how the Native American people of the Pacific Northwest conducted sacred ceremonies and what they meant to the people. Potlatch is a festival much like Christmas, but the gifts exchanged are meant as a redistribution of wealth. The totem poles are specific to people and tribes, and the Tamanawa is a sacred dance. All of these work together to form the sacred potlatch which was banned during the 1880's but returned in the 1950's.

I Ching Classical Understand vs. Aleister Crowley

Any belief, whether it is a self made system or is bestowed upon us from above, can be taken as a religious view, for how does one define religion except as a system which sets upon humans a certain lifestyle to follow. The definition might seem vague at the least, but to define religion is becoming increasingly difficult , as more and more new sources of religious believes emerge. In all sense of the world, there is a message, however it may or may not be from an omnipotent, invisible God; it can be from a messiah or a man who has been raised to the level of a Messiah by his/her followers, as is the case of Buddha. The same has been the fate of many of the philosophers who have presented a framework for how to live one's life. One such philosophical work that will be discussed in this paper is the philosophy of I-Ching or Yi Jing. Although the text is rooted in antiquity, there have been an impact on it through the various interpretations had been presented.

Sculptures and paintings depicting American Indians in the 19th Century followed certain predictable themes and patterns, particularly the idea of the destruction and disappearance of a supposedly inferior race by the Western march of white civilization. Two sculptures that once decorated the Capitol, Horatio Greenough's The Rescue and Luigi Persico's Discovery of America, both commissioned by the government in 1836, were so explicitly racist that Congress finally removed them in 1958 after years of protests by Native Americans.

Philosophical perspectives on the meaning of life

Distressed and hopeless people do not consider or think about the meaning of life. For them, the meaning of life becomes inappropriate when their existence is at stake and when their life is a mixture of worries and perplexities. On the other hand, people who are not desperate mull over the meaning of life. It becomes a problem for such people to reflect on the meaning of life who count on endurance, relief, safety measures, and pleasure. For desperate people, life is to be lived one moment at a time. However, those who consider the meaning of life as important consider it every day and very well know that they should step back from the moment to see and observe life in a long-range context (Baumeister 3).

Embattled Paradise by Arlene Skolinck

The conflation of the evolution of the family and revolutions in society are chronicled in Skolnick's book in an optimistic and realistic treatment. With deep longitudinal research of families extending from childhood years in the 1920s, the book is objective and informed. Skolnick's interpretation is both eloquent and enlightening. With a strong research base and a social scientist's eye, Skolnick reasons that the American family has not been devastated. Countering the political right, Skolnick asserts that the changes in American family life reflect and resonate with sea change in society. In her words, "Changes in our hearts and minds are responses to large-scale social change, rather than a fall from moral grace." Skolnick firmly grounds the changes she discusses in history, economics, politics, feminism, technology, divorce, and sexual mores, extending her timeline to the Victorian era—when the family was seen as the very foundation of social structure and society—to a phenomenon she coins "psychological gentrification."
