Research and discuss why healthcare business administrators (HBA) often lack the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA’s) to be high performers in the workplace.

Historians are often asked to write about a topic of which they have no prior knowledge. It is the job of the historian to be able to research the topic, to

differentiate between fact and fiction, and most importantly to write, or interpret, their version of the history of that topic.

For your first paper assignment, you are going to write about one topic in American History that occurred on the same month and day (but not same year) as your

birthday!

Start by hopping on your favorite internet search engine (ie – yahoo.com, google.com, or whatever), and type in “on this day in history” plus your birthday (just month

and day). For example: On this day in history February 19. [***It may be easier to just go to the History Channel Website at HYPERLINK “http://www.history.com”

www.history.com and use their “This Day in History” page!]

You should get returns in the ballpark of two or three million sites! But we don’t have time to look thru all those. You want to focus in on ONE historical person,

place or event that centers on your date.

ALSO the year for your topic has to fall between 1865 to 1980 and it has to be of importance to NORTH AMERICAN history! But those are the only two criteria.

FOR EXAMPLE:

1) My birthday is February 19.

2) So I go to HYPERLINK “http://www.yahoo.com” www.yahoo.com and type in “on this day in history February 19.”

3) Yahoo returns 213,000,000 sites. I look at the first couple of sites and come up with topics including:

1878 Thomas Alva Edison patents the gramophone (phonograph)

1913 1st prize inserted into a Cracker Jack box

1920 Netherlands joins League of Nations

1845: The Congress of the Republic of Texas agrees to join the United States, following the wishes of the republic’s leading figure, Sam Houston

1945: United States Marines storm the island of Iwo Jima. Nearly 60,000 marines went ashore the eight-square-mile volcanic island

4) These are only a few, but which could I choose? Well, one is dated 1845, so that is out. I love Cracker Jacks, but I don’t think that I could write three pages on
