What is the proposal?
All classes will be mixed gendered classes (male and female together).
What is the current situation regarding this policy? Give a reason why this policy change or new policy is needed.
There are few mix classes in that has both gender in the same class. It is ideal that the mixture between male and female at various universities in the UAE has been encouraged for more than a decade now. The higher the number of male and female mix at the universities is what adds to the quality of education in the UAE. In addition, the universities have also implemented policies that are able to accommodate this changes in education.
Analysis: 6 Thinking Hats
Facts, Information, Survey results Currently, gender orientation run normally works so long stretches of overwhelmingly male talk are trailed by short blasts of all-female talk, which is described by a generally high extent of covering remarks. Throughout the span of a class hour the inclination of men to talk finally (and the lesser probability that they will be intruded on) leads, on account of male-dominant part classes with male educators, to a male-commanded hour – a wonder that is strengthened by the propensity of women to talk less every now and again, all the more quickly, and to cover each other’s remarks
Survey results: based on the survey male student’s incline to more prominent chattiness than female students headed us to question whether male teachers may be more garrulous than female educators. Both genders discuss the same measure of time: that is, educators possessed 42% of the class hour as a rule, talking around 4500 words. Modes of verbal conduct that are professedly sex based, for example, subordination toward oneself (evidently a female characteristic) or aggressiveness (apparently a male quality) depend less on an educator’s sex than on specific identities and the quantity of years that educators have taught. In opposition to well-known thoughts, no discourse trademark we analyzed uncovered itself to be run of the mill of either sexual orientation
Feelings, emotions, intuition Positives: Gender balance in class will lead to development and growth towards academic excellence. It I ideal students are for the case that both gender education in the same class is ideal for academic welfare. In addition, the other stakeholders such as the government is also in support of the proposal.
Negatives: The state is not ready to push on laws that favor the growth and development of equality in mixed classroom where both men and women study. Contrary most parents in the UAE are not in favor of the case that both gender should be allowed be in the same place and share the same academic resources.
Cautions, risks, dangers, problems Based on the students’ perspective, there is no risk to study on board with both sex in the same class. It is clear that mixed education is more favorable to the both the gender hence an added advantage and also a merit to the students as they can also be able to have academic gains.
To the parents, they consider that mixed education is a risky affair, they consider that the mix can cause various negative issues such as early pregnancies and education failures.
The universities and colleges are also on the eve of ensuring that caution is adhered to the quality of education. This is attributed or supported with changes in education policies are procedures to support mixed education and the dangers of such education.
Positives, value, benefits To the students, they are various benefits that come with mixed education between male and female. The ability to share this information is credible in a classroom setting hence able to persuade quality in education.
The other benefit that come with such as issue is the idea that sharing of classroom amid male and female students is that they can be able to share the difference in education hence able to highlight they academic potentials are as well as weaknesses.
On the other hand, other parents view that the mixed education between male and female is a step towards social cohesion and integration.
Creativity, possibilities, alternatives, new ideas There are various creative ideas that this systems of education can be attributed to. Advanced use of technologies one of the ways that will help mixed system of education to take the next level. This is an added advantage to all the stakeholders.
0-3175Recommendations: Put on the blue hat and make recommendations.
Highlight your recommendation below.
Accept the Proposal
Accept the Proposal with some changes
Reject the Proposal
Explain your answer in detail (refer back to the six thinking hats).
I consider that this proposal is one of the best proposals because it helps in education changes. The old tradition of education whereby male and female studied differently is the thing of the past hence the new system is able to add value to education and academic achievements. I consider that the facts supported is in accordance to the facts at hand. The survey will help in future analysis as well as result. The feelings of all stakeholders are in support of the view that mixed education should be supported. The risk or the dangers of this type of education are less hence the systems in applicable. I consider that this systems has various values if implemented. I also consider that they are various creativities are in place to support the systems.

Literature Review
On the previous assignment; part one of the course project, different research questions were formulated that would be of enormous help to the researcher when he/she is analyzing the research for literature review (Formulating a researchable question, 2013). A good research must have a well-defined literature review that examines the study aspects such as the design of the study, theoretical framework, and methods of data sampling. The main aim of formulating the questions was to help the state in understanding the problems affecting nursing career and the general population. When carrying out literature review of the query formulated, different data collection methods on the other hand, have been used for the analysis of data. Data collection was significant when carrying out the research study, however; inaccurate data collection sometimes tends to impact the results of the study design. All the problems to the questions were thoroughly researched for efficient nursing purposes not only to some specific individual, but also to the whole society. This paper will therefore analyze both the summary as well as the explanation of the complete and current state of knowledge on questions formulated found in different journal articles.
A synthesis of what the studies reveal about the current state of knowledge
The research was carried through data sampling method using the formulated questions which helped in revealing what is taking place at the current state of knowledge. Data sampling method was efficient for research in that it gave chances of collecting data which are of high quality. The inconsistencies and contradictions in this literature is that, the issue of nursing practices offered across the world has increasingly been considered the essential component of the healthcare treatment plan; A possible explanations for inconsistencies has been put in place and the nursing practices practitioners have been encouraged so as to acquire an evidence-based orientation that is encouraged in all areas of healthcare. The study carried out shown that, not all nurses get adequate practical knowledge on nursing when undertaking their courses. This has been the most challenge to the states given that a number of patients get treated with nurses who are not fully trained in their career. The conceptual analysis and empirical study of concern in most cases helps nurses in developing the clarity as well as the consensus concerning the patients’ good care (Melnyk & Overholt, 2005).
Preliminary conclusions
Conversely, the evidence tends not to provide strong support for a change in practice and more researches are highly required to help in addressing the research questions identified. It is noted that evidences and researches carried out does not fully provide a stronger support for changes in practice, and it is therefore, a requisite for the state to find better ways of solving the stated research problems to address the publics’ inquiry (Davies, 2011). Further research on the other hand will help in sampling various information from different locations on how to manage problems given that further researches tend to limit the risks of collecting information that are inaccurate. Data should be collected from different areas to increase chances of collecting good data. Further knowledge is needed about the effects of inadequate practical skills in nursing as well as how those problems may tend to affect the society (James, 2012). Lastly, the states should therefore make sure nurses get adequate practical knowledge on nursing courses.

How the shared theme of uncertain vision is treated somewhat differently in Othello than it is in Oedipus the King.

Othello and Oedipus
One of the greatest tragedies ever written, Othello educates readers on several aspects of life. Some of the themes that Shakespeare brings to light are the issues of fate, love betrayal and uncertainty. Uncertainty is the inability to tell the outcome of the future. The play displays uncertainty through the leading character Othello. This theme is however, projected in a different light in the case of king Oedipus. Oedipus is aware of his destiny from the time of his birth. This dictates on the way he approaches life. This in turn, determines the way he faces his future making him come to terms with his fate (Sophocles, Fainlight and Littman, p. 346).
The focus of the paper is to offer an analysis of the tragedy Othello. The paper provides an opinion on one of the main themes is uncertainty in the case of both Othello and king Oedipus. The paper seeks to compare and contrast both characters and the way their characters reflect on the selected theme.
The theme of uncertainty of the character, Othello
The main character in Shakespeare’s tragedy, Othello evokes the theme of uncertain vision in a number of situations. Vision simply means the ability to see a certain situation without reliance of hearse. Othello is on several times provoked by Iago about the conduct of his wife. Iago makes it his goal to poison the respect Othello has for his wife by alleging the existence of an affair between Desdemona and Cassio. Othello faces the dilemma on whether to ignore or investigate these allegations. This places Othello in a position of extreme jealousy and hatred causing him to search for proof (Ramphos, p. 314).
“Villain, be sure thou prove my love a whore, be sure of it, give me the ocular proof” (III.3, 365–366). Othello develops an obsession for the truth which forces him to investigate due to the fact that seeing is believing. Othello’s investigations do not bear fruit making him rely on his enemy’s testimonies. Othello thus fills his mind with the images that Iago portrays making him visualize the worst actions. Othello looses the battle over his mind by forming images of Desdemona and Cassio. It is significant to note that these visuals are not certain making Othello make the greatest mistake of his life (Sophocles, Fainlight and Littman, p. 340).
Shakespeare intends to display significance of trust through the characters of both Iago and Othello. The creation of rumors forms uncertain vision forcing Othello to act irrationally.
Another factor that showcases uncertain vision is the overall theme of the play. The play places emphasis on tragedy which is experienced in several sessions in the play. The tragedy in this case is sealed by the fate that the characters face in the future. In life, the future of all individuals is uncertain due to the change of events on a daily basis. The choice of Othello and Desdemona to defy the odds by choosing their relationship over the society makes their future uncertain. Both characters are not aware of what the future has for them in regard to their love. The play displays the power of fate and the lack of control over the future. The different collaborations in the play create a scenario that leads to the worst circumstance. This defines the murder that seals the fate of the uncertain vision of the future that the couple has (Shakespeare and Tommaso, p. 230).
Summary
Based in the land of Greece, Oedipus the king brings out the significance of social class and the role of fate. Oedipus manages to solve a riddle which earns him his kingship. He is guaranteed a successful life due to his position in the kingdom. The life of Oedipus takes a different turn which is determined by the curse placed upon him before his birth. It is evident that Oedipus expects his life to turn out a certain way. The book proves this notion wrong at the end proving that fate can sometimes be challenged (Shakespeare and Tommaso, p. 234).
The theme of uncertainty of the character, King Oedipus
Fate is an essential theme in the book of King Oedipus. One of the characteristics of fate is that individuals do not have control over the issue. This theory cannot be challenged due to the fact that fate it a factor that is brought upon man by the gods. Oedipus grows up to be a sincere man which should guarantee him a bright future. This however, cannot be the case for the king due to the fate that awaits him. He is thus left to accept the turn of events which prove to be inevitable. Despite this, he manages to find peace of mind with the aid of his family. This indicates that one does not have to be successful to be at peace with oneself. Oedipus is unable to reverse his fate; he however manages to make the best of the situation by finding solace in his daughter who helps his through this process (Ramphos, p. 314).
In conclusion, both stories place emphasis on the power fate and its role in society. Both Othello and Oedipus live lives that are somewhat predetermined. One of the differences in the two stories is the fact that Oedipus is aware of his fate from the time he is born. Othello on the other hand, lives a life of uncertainty of his future. He later learns his fate at the end of the play which ends in tragedy. Despite the difference, both books bring out the significance of uncertainty and fate of the human being.
