Never events are also being publicly reported, this is done to increase accountability and improving quality of care. This has made the incidents of never events almost nonexistent nationally since 2007.

Persuasive speech

Business Finance

develop a reality TV show that will address a real problem facing people over the age of 18. You may choose any genre of reality TV for your project. Your group’s task is to make a persuasive group presentation selling your show to a network (our class). Your group’s presentation must identify the problem while also helping the network to increase its ratings by appealing to a large audience who can identify with the problem.

Again, your main goal is to convince the network (your classmates) to choose your reality TV show from all the others being offered. You can only do this by being persuasive and choosing topics that deal with problems faced by your peers. Your show must also be unique from other reality shows currently on TV.
