Response to Sumaya Rashdan’ Post
According to your post, this week’s notes were so helpful to you. This week, you have learned a lot about data types, ratings, scales, and confounds you did not know about. I agree that the four main types are Ordinal, Nominal, Ratio, and Interval. An example of nominal is from our class notes concerning the U.S Census questions, which could also be the types of ethnicities. An example of ordinal from our class notes is the scales of opinion that could also include grades of assignments based on grading how good or not good the student did non the assignment. An Interval example from our class notes is temperature which gives the IQ number of the score of games, and lastly, a ratio example is age, height, and weight. According to your post, collecting data from subjects for a research study is the instrument in the study. I agree that its primary purpose is to collect data the right way. Some methods of collecting data include; oral surveys, administered non-written questions given to the participants; questionnaires, which are usually used to determine participants’ self-representation, perspectives, or reports. According to your post on the course skill notes sector, you have discussed validity, which indicates how sound someone’s research is. I agree that validity applies to the methods and design of a person’s research. The two types of validity shown in your post are internal and external. You would prefer to use an ordinal kind of data in your research. You would also like to collect data through interviews and to understand people’s perspectives and beliefs, and you prefer to use the Likert Scale.

After reviewing your post, I feel there would be a readiness of staff and organizations to initiate a change plan. When the surgeon moved his head to better look at the patient, he accidentally dropped his glasses into the patient, which was a mistake since doing so may cause the patient to get a severe infection, which could even lead to the patient’s death. In this case, a barrier to the change plan was the surgeon’s ignorance of the importance of preventing infections for the patients. In this situation, it seems that the surgeon’s glasses did not fit him perfectly, which is why they dropped during the surgery. Another barrier to the change plan that I can foresee happening, in this case, is that the surgeon lacked the necessary equipment. If his glasses fit perfectly, then this situation could not occur. Therefore, I would recommend that this health facility to ensure that all the surgeons is equipped with the necessary personal equipment to avoid reoccurrence of such cases. Despite the mistake made in this scene, I was pleased by the head surgeon who proceeded to remove the foreign object from the patient. This shows that this health care facility practiced collaboration in providing for the needs of the patients.

Question one
Civilization is an invaluable aspect of humanity; people progressively change their way of life to a more satisfying and sophisticated experience. The central idea of civilization recurs throughout the book The Epic of Gilgamesh. Although the king Gilgamesh is an epic representation of beauty, to the people he was not civilized as characters were wild. The people of his kingdom saw him as an incomplete figure and goes ahead to pray to their God Anu for salvage (Maier, 2018). Exposure to life in the city represents a new form of the civilization of Enkidu; the city food and drinks were different from what he would get from the bushes.
The civilization of Gilgamesh occurs after the death of Enkidu, he appears more focused, and there was a subtle change in his personality. The sophistication of a single is crucial in enhancing the civilization of others in society. The poem appears to focus on various aspects such as savagely and the ideas of civilization. The return of Odysseus from the battlefield is a sign of his victory against their enemies. His return is a form of transition into a family man. Before leaving for the battlefields, he had the urge to change his life from the warring mind into the more lucrative approach. Ideally, the two concepts present the aspect of living as a loner as an uncivilized form of life. Civilization from the two ideas brings experience to what appeared to have died. There was more life in a civilized community, and the focus was mainly the satisfaction of the body. Outward appearance according has nothing to do with individual personality.
Question two
From the poem epic of Gilgamesh, the king heard of Enkidu. Due to the fear of his hatred and his uncivilized way of life, Gilgamesh sends out Shamhat to tame Enkidu. Through her charms, she can transform Enkidu to the character that would make the king happy. The poem presents Enkidu as a dirty person who wore animal skill and had shaggy hair. Upon meeting with shamhat, Enkidu showers and even oils his body (Maier, 2018). Besides, Enkidu later ate bread and drunk bear to his satiety. The role of women is civilization is significant in the poem. Penelope, for instance, plays a crucial role in transforming her enemies.
The author presents her as being wise in the use of drugs and herbs. Women in odyssey charmed and controlled men to their advantage. The would turn wild people into animals using magic to avoid confrontation. Women in the poem odyssey are influencers and advisers, Athena for instance; she presented the idea of calling the islanders to Odysseus as a way of communicating with them about his will and that of the gods. Women appear to have mastery of taming the unruly behavior amongst people, and they would provide relevant information to their leaders as well as advising their enemies. Penelope is a faithful wife; despite the absence of her husband Odysseus, she does not bow to the demand of the suitors who wanted to marry her.
Question four
Ideology leadership is dominant in the two concepts. Gilgamesh demonstrated his best leadership quality by bringing Enkidu to humanity. Enkidu lived like an animal in the uncivilized world, in his rescue, Gilgamesh sent shamhat who considerably transform Enkidu. The arrival of Enkidu was a milestone to the transformation of Gilgamesh who exploited his people for his benefit. Enkidu and Gilgamesh become a friend, and heroically defeats the enemies of their kingdom, thus protecting the sovereignty of their people (Maier, 2018). Odysseus, on the other hand, demonstrated his leadership attribute when he decided to leave his family for the battlefield.
Odysseus does not fear death despite having small children to cater. He proudly leads his people in the battlefield in Trojan and heroically emerged victorious. Odysseus appears to care for the men in the battle with(Liang, 2017). Notably, he has a concern about the safe arrival of his sailors from the battlefield. Odysseus lead by example, at war, Odysseus device a plan of using the Trojan horse to overcome their enemies. The author further presents him as an intelligent leader; he also uses his physical strength to subdue the enemies.
On the contrary, Odysseus lack efficient communication skills; he further makes the wrong decisions. Odysseus, for instance, went to steal cattle and cheese; however, this leads to Polyphemus capturing his men (Liang, 2017). Odysseus is an arrogant leader, unlike his rival Hubris. Their failing led to the loss of men and disliked among people. Decision-making quality and communication lead to the misguiding of their men in the battlefields.
Question five
The epic of Gilgamesh presents the king (Gilgamesh) as a hero with an ability to interact with the gods. In the second concepts, the author presents Odysseus as having travelled to hades. In hades, Odysseus gets to learn his fate from Teiresias, who was a blind prophet. The journey of Odysseus is significant in his mission as he gets warned by the prophet on various things he was to avoid (Liang, 2017). Odysseus knew that for him to return to the island, the gate pass was to travel to hades and meet various people.
The rejection of the gods by Gilgamesh led to the imposition of threat on humanity. The god promised to destroy them unless Gilgamesh’s father would unleash the bull of heaven (Maier, 2018). To protect his people, Anu descends to lessen the effects of the evil forces. The failure to appear the gods led to the flood, which destroyed people and properties. When the people condemned Enkidu, the gods expressed their full vengeance upon the people as the Gilgamesh had led them to commit one of the harmful mistakes. From these incidences, the two characters learn the importance of obedience to the will of the gods as they have control of various forces in nature. Failure to honor the gods led to floors which killed people and animals hence weakening their kingdom.
