Let's Move Case Study

First African American Lady, Michelle Obama has fought to keep America together. She has endorsed arts education for underachieving schools, fought for healthier school lunches and girls’ education, supported strong school counselors, encouraged young women, and introduced to the world the

A leader is anyone who uses interpersonal skills to influence others to accomplish a specific goal (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, worked on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Her enthusiasm for her work at the United Nations was rooted in her humanitarian convictions and her steady faith in human dignity and worth. With modesty, Eleanor considered her position on the Commission to be one of ambassador for the common people. Her sensible approach, optimism and energy allowed the smooth facilitation of meetings (Eleanor Roosevelt Biography, 1998). Not actually seeing herself as a leader, Eleanor preferred to work as part of a team, not like a boss. She followed her passion of making positive changes in people’s lives and knew

Barack Obama has a strong desire to influence and lead others. In 2012 re-election, Obama has said "I guarantee you, we will move this country forward," (“Barack Obama Biography,” n.d.). This proves that he is willing to bear the responsibilities to lead the others.

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader” (John Quincy Adams). Growing up under a founding father, John Quincy Adams perceived leadership as a responsibility to inspire others rather than a position in which one simply has power over others. John Quincy Adams observed his father John Adams, who took upon a great responsibility to inspire an entire nation; a nation that is now known for freedom and opportunity. John Adam’s inspiration has come a long way, as he had the ability to lead a nation into success rather than tarnish the beauty of it. Collaborative leadership in an authoritative manner, which was seen in John Adams, is what drives one to success, as a leader should be open-minded

I don’t want that future for my daughters. I don’t want that future for your sons. I don’t want that future for America.” Obama wants to help children, he doesn’t want children to fail in society, that’s Obama’ vision.

Gentrification presents itself when outsiders enter an urban community, commonly densely populated with people of color, and through complicit actions wards off the residents within. As the area begins to gain popularity and appeal, the soaring property prices create an incentive for the property owners to rid of the tenants to make room for the newcomers. Furthermore, corporations begin to supersede homes and exploit defenseless communities. Although the newcomers do tend to improve these previously indigent neighborhoods, it comes at the destruction of the cultures that exist within said neighborhoods. Therefore, the amenities of the communities of color enervate in the name of gentrification.

From my understanding, gentrification is when wealthy people come to an already established area and begin to change the character and raise the value cost in the area. People who are the gentrifiers claim that they lower crime rate and have the communities best interest in mind. During the process of gentrification, the area has a large increase in rent or housing prices. Lower income families are phased out because their wages stay the same as the living prices rise. It tends to happen most commonly in communities that are not desirable.

"Michelle Obama never wanted to be the kind of first lady who interfered with West Wing business, she told her aides. It was her husband’s administration, not hers, she sometimes said. She had little appetite or expertise for policy detail, and she knew the history of first ladies —like Nancy Reagan and Mrs. Clinton — who had been deemed meddlers, unelected figures who wielded unearned power”(Kantor,

While the public still wants the first lady to be peaceful and diplomatic, they also expect her to take an aggressive stance on certain political issues, particularly issues relating to children and family. Gould writes that “Nancy Reagan’s controversial eight years revealed how much the popular expectation of First Lady activism had become embedded in political culture” (American First Ladies: Their Lives and Their Legacy xii). After an initial two years of political indifference, “[Nancy Reagan] and her advisers turned to a ‘Just Say No’ campaign against illicit drugs to validate her credentials as a First Lady with a real cause” (American First Ladies: Their Lives and Their Legacy xii). The aforementioned situation with Nancy Reagan exemplifies a modern truth: to be a successful first lady, political activism is not a choice, but a necessity.

Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the United States entering World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in 1942. This order led to the evacuation of over 100,000 Japanese Americans, both citizens and immigrants, to Relocations Centers located away from the Western coast of the United States. Life inside the Relocation Centers was complicated not only by the living and working conditions, but also by the many social, political, educational, and cultural dynamics among the different generations of Japanese Americans. (Kessler, 1988). Once released from the centers, the United States, through the Resettlement Program urged the Japanese Americans to settle throughout the country in hopes for better

This paper will talk about the leadership philosophy of two female leaders Jean Watson and Michelle Obama, and how their leadership skills have impacted many lives.

To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, “a leader should be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant” (Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.

It has become more realistic to believe that a person who grew up in poverty is likely to move up into a higher class position throughout their life. Studying social mobility helps to answer this question. Being that the United States is called “the land of opportunity” it can be said that there is plenty of room for social mobility in America. However, this has been a question of debate among Americans for years. While some citizens of America may believe social mobility has stayed consistent through the centuries, in fact, it is more realistic for people to achieve today.

If a patient is leaving town, check script for dose end date. Once checked, leave a note for the doctor in the patients chart then notify the doctor that the patient will be leaving town and is requesting a script transfer. Find out how long the patient is leaving for, why the patient is leaving, and which pharmacy he/she would like us to transfer the script too (Get the address, fax and phone number of the pharmacy). Once the doctor has approved the script transfer, cancel the one that is at the patient’s current pharmacy. Then fax the new prescription to the new recommended pharmacy and call the pharmacy to confirm. Afterwards, go back into the patients chart and write a new note in bold of the pharmacy it has been

Sherry has shown strong traits of transformational/democratic leadership. She used her observation to develop an idea to help improve the high rate of domestic violence in her community. She was not content with only helping school students but felt the call to have a bigger impact on the community which demonstrates her transformational leadership. These actions demonstrate “ meaning, inspiration and vision” which according to Weiss and Tappen are the characteristics of a transformational leader. (p. 8) Sherry also showed democratic leadership in the sense of gathering other nurses and healthcare professionals to use their input and include them as part of her plan before making her decision.
