Effects of Behavior on Personal Health In growing recognition of the effects of behavior on personal health, public health officials now also collect and analyze behavioral information regarding behaviors such as alcohol and drug use, seat belt and helmet use, smoking, nutrition, exercise, and sexual activities. Surveillance of noncommunicable conditions like heart disease and diabetes has also expanded in recent years. Whereas infectious disease surveillance relies heavily on case reports by physicians, behavioral and noncommunicable disease surveillance is primarily conducted through surveys designed to be representative of the sampled population. Discuss a Public Health (PH) change made on the local or state level based on the collection of behavioral health information.

Healthcare spending 1996 2013
This study analyzed US health care spending from 1996-2013 using 183 data sources to estimate spending for 155 conditions stratified by age, sex, and type of care. The key findings were:
1) Diabetes had the highest spending in 2013 at $101.4 billion, with 57.6% spent on pharmaceuticals and 23.5% on ambulatory care.
2) Ischemic heart disease and low back/neck pain had the second and third highest spending in 2013.
3) Spending increased for 143 of 155 conditions from 1996-2013, with the largest increases for diabetes ($64.4 billion) and low back/neck pain ($57.2 billion).

The economic burden of prescription opioid overdose... 2013.
The document summarizes a study that estimates the total economic burden of prescription opioid overdose, abuse, and dependence in the United States in 2013 was $78.5 billion. Over one third of this cost ($28.9 billion) was due to increased healthcare and substance abuse treatment costs. Approximately one quarter of the total cost was borne by the public sector through healthcare, substance abuse treatment, and criminal justice costs. The study utilized national data on opioid overdose deaths and abuse/dependence prevalence to estimate costs across multiple sectors including healthcare, substance abuse treatment, criminal justice, and lost productivity.

Sedentary lifestyle is predominant in our everyday life be it in workplace, school, social or homes and the fact is we have got accustomed to sitting down and doing many things forgetting the impact this is causing to our health. People fail to realize how valuable exercise is in their life and especially in improving their health and well-being. Sitting down on the computer with all focused attention and forgetting that we need to get up and even eat cause problems to many people.

2-2 Discussion: Prevention Strategies in Epidemiology
Overweight and obesity continue to be a leading health concern in the United States. It is estimated that up to 400,000 obesity-related deaths occur per year in America. Literature has shown that overweight and obesity are major causes of co-morbidity, including type II diabetes, various cancers, cardiovascular diseases and other heath problems. A person is considered overweight or obese when their weight is greater than what is generally considered healthy for their height. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement that helps to figure out if you’re at a healthy weight for your height. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. An adult is considered overweight if their BMI is greater or equal to twenty-five. An adult is considered obese if their BMI is greater than or equal to thirty. The average American man and woman are 190 pounds and 163 pounds respectively according to the National Center for Health Statistics (Montgomery, 2008).
Epidemiological research is key to prevention of disease. Research on disease etiology is helpful in determining where in the disease’s natural history effective intervention might be implemented. Leavell and Clark, in the late 1940’s, were the first to describe the principles of disease prevention using the terms primary, secondary and tertiary prevention (Friis & Sellers, 2014). Primary prevention seeks to prevent a condition or disease at a pre-pathological state. The goal is to stop the condition or disease from ever happening. Primary prevention for overweight and obesity would be working together with policy makers, businesses, schools, childcare and healthcare professionals, state and local organizations to create an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle. Primary prevention differs from secondary and tertiary prevention in that secondary prevention focuses on early disease detection and intervention and tertiary prevention aims to control established disease and limit the amount of disability (Friis & Sellers, 2014). Secondary prevention for overweight and obesity would include defining obesity with BMI, education and explanation of the disease by the primary care physician, necessary changes in nutrition and physical activity. Tertiary prevention for overweight and obesity includes physical activity, weight loss, low carbohydrate diet, behavior therapy and nutritionists.
There are many national and state-level prevention policies and legislation in place to prevent or reduce obesity. For example, the federal government, in 2006-2007, began requiring all school districts with a federally funded school meal program to develop and implement wellness policies that address nutrition and physical activity. Steps to a Healthier US program is program administered by the Centers for Disease Control in 2003 that enables communities to develop action plans to prev.

This document provides an overview of the Health Belief Model (HBM), a psychological model that aims to explain health behaviors by focusing on individual attitudes and beliefs. The HBM was developed in the 1950s to understand why people failed to participate in disease prevention or screening programs. It identifies key factors - perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers - that influence health behaviors. The model has since been expanded and used to study various behaviors. Research applying the HBM found nursing students were more likely to practice breast self-exams than their mothers, suggesting education can impact health perceptions.

Do Alcohol Consumers Exercise More? Findings
From a National Survey
Michael T. French, PhD; Ioana Popovici, PhD; Johanna Catherine Maclean, MA
Abstract
Purpose. Investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and physical activity
because understanding whether there are common determinants of health behaviors is critical in
designing programs to change risky activities.
Design. Cross-sectional analysis.
Setting. United States.
Subjects. A sample of adults representative of the U.S. population (N 5 230,856) from the
2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Measures. Several measures of drinking and exercise were analyzed. Specifications included
numerous health, health behavior, socioeconomic, and demographic control variables.
Results. For women, current drinkers exercise 7.2 more minutes per week than abstainers.
Ten extra drinks per month are associated with 2.2 extra minutes per week of physical activity.
When compared with current abstainers, light, moderate, and heavy drinkers exercise 5.7,
10.1, and 19.9 more minutes per week. Drinking is associated with a 10.1 percentage point
increase in the probability of exercising vigorously. Ten extra drinks per month are associated
with a 2.0 percentage point increase in the probability of engaging in vigorous physical activity.
Light, moderate, and heavy drinking are associated with 9.0, 14.3, and 13.7 percentage point
increases in the probability of exercising vigorously. The estimation results for men are similar to
those for women.
Conclusions. Our results strongly suggest that alcohol consumption and physical activity are
positively correlated. The association persists at heavy drinking levels. (Am J Health Promot

PURPOSE
The epidemiologic literature has
firmly established that certain lifestyle

the United States. However, the precise
association between these behaviors is
still the subject of longstanding debate.
There are reasons to believe that
health behaviors may not be indepen-
dent of each other. One view purports
that individuals’ motivation to prevent
disease or improve health could cause
the clustering of health behaviors.4 In

Latent Class Analysis of Adolescent Health Behaviors
This document discusses a study that uses latent class analysis to identify patterns of health behaviors among adolescents ages 10-19 using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. The study examines eight health behaviors - sleep, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, physician visits, meal autonomy, wearing braces, general health assessment, and tattoos. Latent class analysis identified three distinct classes of adolescents - healthy, moderately healthy, and unhealthy - based on their responses to questions about these behaviors. The classes differed for males and females. The study aims to characterize adolescent health behaviors without including parental attributes.
11.lifestyle and oral health
This document discusses the relationship between lifestyle and oral health. It defines lifestyle as the way people live and behaviors they engage in, which are influenced by social and cultural factors. Several oral health outcomes like dental caries and periodontal disease are associated with lifestyle behaviors like diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and oral hygiene practices. Studies show relationships between these oral health behaviors and general health behaviors that together constitute an individual's lifestyle. Maintaining good oral health requires addressing lifestyle factors through health promotion and prevention programs, especially in developing countries where oral diseases remain a challenge.
11.lifestyle and oral health
This document discusses the relationship between lifestyle and oral health. It defines lifestyle as patterns of behavior and activities learned through socialization that reflect cultural values. Behaviors like smoking, diet, physical activity and alcohol consumption impact both general and oral health. Several oral diseases are linked to chronic diseases through shared risk factors. Lifestyle factors determine health behaviors and oral health. Studies show dental health behaviors are part of an individual's overall lifestyle and health orientation.

The document discusses independent and dependent variables in evidence-based projects. It provides an example where the independent variable is the dose of a drug administered and the dependent variable is the frequency and intensity of symptoms. For an EBP project on a discharge education checklist for heart failure patients, the dependent variable would be the rate of readmission, while independent variables would include age, gender, marital status, education level, and financial status. Collecting these independent variables is necessary when assessing factors like health literacy that could influence readmission rates.

Strategies for reducing morbidity and mortality from diabetes through health
This document summarizes recommendations from the Task Force on Community Preventive Services regarding interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality from diabetes. It finds that disease and case management in healthcare systems are strongly recommended for people with diabetes. It also recommends diabetes self-management education in community settings like community centers for adults, and in the home for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. There was insufficient evidence to recommend other settings or for adults with type 2 diabetes in the home. The Task Force conducted systematic reviews of interventions focused on healthcare systems and community-based self-management education.
Elena Andonova from the Regional Public Health Inspectorate
The project "Informed and Healthy" aims to enhance the population's employability and maintain a healthy workforce through increasing awareness of behavioral risk factors like excessive salt intake, drug abuse among youth, smoking, and trauma. The project will produce manuals on prevention practices and conduct national health campaigns targeting these risks. Research shows these factors contribute significantly to diseases like cardiovascular issues that are a major cause of mortality in Bulgaria. Reducing risks like salt intake and smoking could improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
Impact of Oral Health on Quality of Life in the Elderly
Poor oral health has been associated with reduced quality of life in the elderly. Research has found links between oral infections and systemic diseases as well as cognitive decline, malnutrition, depression, and social anxiety. Socioeconomic factors also influence oral health and access to dental care. Studies show those with lower income and education tend to have more oral health issues and worse perceptions of well-being. Further research is still needed to better understand the relationships between oral health, cognitive functioning, and well-being in the elderly population.
ECONOMICS OF RISKY HEALTHY BEHAVIOUR
This document discusses the economics of risky health behaviors. It notes that an individual's health is influenced by biological, lifestyle, societal, and environmental factors. Risky behaviors like tobacco, alcohol, and drug use are more common among certain groups, especially youth. The objectives are to evaluate how risky behaviors influence health economics, study their impact on teenagers/adolescents and society, and examine the positive and negative economic impacts. The methodology uses secondary data collection from sources like interviews, journals, and the internet. The scope focuses on an overview of the economics of risky health behaviors and outcomes in relation to increased social welfare. Suggestions include health education programs in schools, reducing access to drugs/smoking, identifying obstacles to healthy

The Loss of Individual Rights in
1984
:
Personal privacy and space is never granted throughout
1984
. Every person is always subject to observation, even by their own family members and friends. Furthermore, since Big Brother is always watching and the Thought Police are always on the lookout, it is impossible for any kind of individualism to flourish. For this essay you can look at the ways this occurs and how various characters attempt (successfully or not) to subvert it. Then move out to consider how this lack of privacy (and by proxy, individualism) influences individuals and society as a whole in the present day. How does the present US Government subvert the rights of the individual and how does this compare to the novel?
Fear of Technology
: During WWII, technology was primarily developed for military purposes, specifically for the surveillance of the enemy. People are generally resistant to technology that they believe can be used against them. George Orwell’s novel
1984

How is it used against the people? To control them? How does this reflect the human fear of technology during the time the novel was written? How does this fear carry over in the modern world? Is it valid? How can technology be used against the common man to violate individual rights? How does this compare to the novel?

The impacts of lifestyle behavior on
This study examines the impact of lifestyle behaviors on Medicare costs at the state level using panel data from 2003 to 2010. The key findings are:
1) Reversible health-related lifestyle attributes like smoking and obesity are statistically significant determinants of variations in state-level Medicare costs.
2) State-level Medicare spending is elastic with respect to changes in the prevalence of smoking and obesity.
3) To account for unobserved state-specific factors, the study fits both fixed-effects and random-effects regression models and uses the Hausman test to identify the most efficient estimator.

Do Alcohol Consumers Exercise More? Findings
From a National Survey
Michael T. French, PhD; Ioana Popovici, PhD; Johanna Catherine Maclean, MA
Abstract
Purpose. Investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and physical activity
because understanding whether there are common determinants of health behaviors is critical in
designing programs to change risky activities.
Design. Cross-sectional analysis.
Setting. United States.
Subjects. A sample of adults representative of the U.S. population (N 5 230,856) from the
2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Measures. Several measures of drinking and exercise were analyzed. Specifications included
numerous health, health behavior, socioeconomic, and demographic control variables.
Results. For women, current drinkers exercise 7.2 more minutes per week than abstainers.
Ten extra drinks per month are associated with 2.2 extra minutes per week of physical activity.
When compared with current abstainers, light, moderate, and heavy drinkers exercise 5.7,
10.1, and 19.9 more minutes per week. Drinking is associated with a 10.1 percentage point
increase in the probability of exercising vigorously. Ten extra drinks per month are associated
with a 2.0 percentage point increase in the probability of engaging in vigorous physical activity.
Light, moderate, and heavy drinking are associated with 9.0, 14.3, and 13.7 percentage point
increases in the probability of exercising vigorously. The estimation results for men are similar to
those for women.
Conclusions. Our results strongly suggest that alcohol consumption and physical activity are
positively correlated. The association persists at heavy drinking levels. (Am J Health Promot

The epidemiologic literature has

with an elevated risk of morbidity and

the United States. However, the precise
association between these behaviors is
still the subject of longstanding debate.
There are reasons to believe that
health behaviors may not be indepen-

that individuals’ motivation to prevent
disease or improve health could cause
the clustering of health behaviors.4 In

Latent Class Analysis of Adolescent Health Behaviors
This document discusses a study that uses latent class analysis to identify patterns of health behaviors among adolescents ages 10-19 using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. The study examines eight health behaviors - sleep, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, physician visits, meal autonomy, wearing braces, general health assessment, and tattoos. Latent class analysis identified three distinct classes of adolescents - healthy, moderately healthy, and unhealthy - based on their responses to questions about these behaviors. The classes differed for males and females. The study aims to characterize adolescent health behaviors without including parental attributes.
11.lifestyle and oral health
This document discusses the relationship between lifestyle and oral health. It defines lifestyle as the way people live and behaviors they engage in, which are influenced by social and cultural factors. Several oral health outcomes like dental caries and periodontal disease are associated with lifestyle behaviors like diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and oral hygiene practices. Studies show relationships between these oral health behaviors and general health behaviors that together constitute an individual's lifestyle. Maintaining good oral health requires addressing lifestyle factors through health promotion and prevention programs, especially in developing countries where oral diseases remain a challenge.

The document discusses independent and dependent variables in evidence-based projects. It provides an example where the independent variable is the dose of a drug administered and the dependent variable is the frequency and intensity of symptoms. For an EBP project on a discharge education checklist for heart failure patients, the dependent variable would be the rate of readmission, while independent variables would include age, gender, marital status, education level, and financial status. Collecting these independent variables is necessary when assessing factors like health literacy that could influence readmission rates.

Strategies for reducing morbidity and mortality from diabetes through health
This document summarizes recommendations from the Task Force on Community Preventive Services regarding interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality from diabetes. It finds that disease and case management in healthcare systems are strongly recommended for people with diabetes. It also recommends diabetes self-management education in community settings like community centers for adults, and in the home for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. There was insufficient evidence to recommend other settings or for adults with type 2 diabetes in the home. The Task Force conducted systematic reviews of interventions focused on healthcare systems and community-based self-management education.
Elena Andonova from the Regional Public Health Inspectorate
The project "Informed and Healthy" aims to enhance the population's employability and maintain a healthy workforce through increasing awareness of behavioral risk factors like excessive salt intake, drug abuse among youth, smoking, and trauma. The project will produce manuals on prevention practices and conduct national health campaigns targeting these risks. Research shows these factors contribute significantly to diseases like cardiovascular issues that are a major cause of mortality in Bulgaria. Reducing risks like salt intake and smoking could improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
Impact of Oral Health on Quality of Life in the Elderly
Poor oral health has been associated with reduced quality of life in the elderly. Research has found links between oral infections and systemic diseases as well as cognitive decline, malnutrition, depression, and social anxiety. Socioeconomic factors also influence oral health and access to dental care. Studies show those with lower income and education tend to have more oral health issues and worse perceptions of well-being. Further research is still needed to better understand the relationships between oral health, cognitive functioning, and well-being in the elderly population.
ECONOMICS OF RISKY HEALTHY BEHAVIOUR

Essay Topics:
The Loss of Individual Rights in
1984
:
Personal privacy and space is never granted throughout
1984
. Every person is always subject to observation, even by their own family members and friends. Furthermore, since Big Brother is always watching and the Thought Police are always on the lookout, it is impossible for any kind of individualism to flourish. For this essay you can look at the ways this occurs and how various characters attempt (successfully or not) to subvert it. Then move out to consider how this lack of privacy (and by proxy, individualism) influences individuals and society as a whole in the present day. How does the present US Government subvert the rights of the individual and how does this compare to the novel?
Fear of Technology

How is it used against the people? To control them? How does this reflect the human fear of technology during the time the novel was written? How does this fear carry over in the modern world? Is it valid? How can technology be used against the common man to violate individual rights? How does this compare to the novel?

Touchstone 3.2 Draft an Argumentative Research Essay
July 16, 2020
Recent pandemic, commonly referred to as COVID 19, has changed the world dynamics. This disease has not just crashed the world health system but has also impacted the global education system. COVID 19 has made our daily routine vulnerable. Still, the precautionary measures such as social distancing have not just impacted the social life of human beings. Still, they have also altered the Present and the future of the global learning system. According to the UNESCO report, the nationwide termination of educations institutes has obstructed over 60% of the world's learner’s populace, with approximately 1.53 billion learners out of learning institutes. Many educationists believe that with the current circumstance, the drop-out rate of students across the globe will increase in the near future because of the disruption in the system. Though many parents and institutes are still in denial of the changes that have occurred due to the pandemic, educationists and research indicate that the current alteration in the global education system will not be short-lived and will have a profound impact on the future means of education. Comment by Kvinge, Krystal: Write smoothly: this sentence is awkward. Try reading your writing aloud to see if it sounds natural. Comment by Kvinge, Krystal: Use specific language: what do you mean by “crashed?” Comment by Kvinge, Krystal: Avoid repetition in your essay: here, beginning two sentences in a row with “still” weakens your writing. Comment by Kvinge, Krystal: Cite all outside information in APA format. You can find information on it here: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html Comment by Kvinge, Krystal: Look out for odd word choices throughout your paper. Write clearly, directly, and concisely. Comment by Kvinge, Krystal: Important: improve this thesis. Your thesis statement must be argumentative: it must take a side and state what should be done What exactly are you arguing for?
Education System during Pandemic Comment by Kvinge, Krystal: If you are going to use headings, use them throughout the paper, including for your Introduction and Conclusion.
The recent survey shows that around 22 countries in three continents have closed their learning system on local and state levels because of COVID 19. Such massive disruption has pushed educators and institutions to opt for new means of education, such as online learning and instructional tutoring. However, such means of education has also exposed other crucial factors, such as inconsistent resource allocation and social and economic differences. The historical research on the impact of school closure depicts that even a brief intervention in school activities has a h.

Group Summary of
Reinhard
Please work with your group (or individually) to summarize Reinhard’s article. Your summary should be two pages long, in MLA format, listing the name of each participant in your breakout room who attended and contributed for the entire session.
To begin your summary, tell who wrote the essay, the name of the essay, and what the writer’s main point or project is. As with McDonald’s you should be able to do this is one short paragraph. (
For example: In his essay, “ Disgrace and the Neighbor: An Interchange with Bill McDonald,” Coetzee scholar Kenneth Reinhard responds to Bill McDonald’s essay, arguing against McDonald’s thesis that David Lurie changes. It is Reinhart’s thesis that David Lurie does not undergo significant change in the novel. In answering McDonald, Reinhard analyzes each of Lurie’s changed vision in the context of two sets of questions—one regarding the redemptive potential of change in vision and the second regarding what it means to love one’s neighbor.
Reinhard devotes the first 1 ½ pages to this contextualization. In the middle of page 2, he announces his own project: he will respond to McDonald by questioning the redemptive nature of vision AND also questioning neighbor love. Reinhard then sets about defining and contextualizing the significance of erotic vision. On page 96, he begins his analysis of the three visions set forth by McDonald, addressing the limitations of each vision to indicate real change in Lurie. This might be the heart of your summary.
Reinhard moves from his analysis of the three visions to an analysis of neighborly love in Disgrace and the problems of living side-by-side with those whose presence may be a challenge. He places his case for the novel’s redemption in Lucy and her “blindness” to the evils she has suffered.
Once again your summary should be 2 pages long, double-spaced in MLA format.

ENGL112 WednesdayDr. Jason StarnesMarch 9, 2020Human Respo.docx
This document discusses how Art Spiegelman and Alison Bechdel both experienced generational trauma through their works "In The Shadow of No Towers" and "Fun Home", respectively. While the scale and time period of their traumas differed, both impacted and changed their behaviors. For Spiegelman, the 9/11 terrorist attacks became a trauma for himself and all Americans, causing anxiety and worry for his family's safety. Bechdel's trauma stemmed from the lack of societal acceptance of homosexuality during her childhood and father's closeted identity. The document analyzes how each author represented and dealt with their generational traumas through their artistic works.
English 101 - Reminders and Help for Rhetorical Analysis Paragraph.docx
English 101 - Reminders and Help for Rhetorical Analysis Paragraphs
1. Remember the “Rule of Thirds” for Body Paragraphs (Besides BP1 on Essay II)
Top 1/3 of Paragraph (about 4-5 sentences) – your development of an idea stated through a clear topic sentence and a group of follow up sentences that explain and ‘analyze’ the point.
-(P) main point of paragraph in the topic sentence
-(I) follow up and explanation of the idea, how it is true and its importance
Middle 1/3 of paragraph (4-5 sentences) – this section should be focused on ‘support’ of your that will in a sense prove the idea presented
-(E) Use of a specific example/evidence from the text or perhaps a ‘universal’ example to display and ‘show’ your audience what you mean or perhaps a secondary source
Final 1/3 (4-5 sentences) – summarize and reassert your main point in a fresh way.
-(S) Returning to your main point – you may have to transition out of your example to return back to your main idea. Be sure to restate it and perhaps change the context to analyze it in a new way.
2. Help Developing Main Points – Rhetorical Analysis
The I and S sections carry a lot of ‘weight’ because they are the areas where a student writer can show the depth of their thinking and comprehension of the idea presented. This is especially true with rhetorical analysis paragraphs: Target Audience, Message, Manipulation/Persuasion, Effectiveness, and/or Effect (an indiv. essay will not have all of these).
Asking questions of your main point is a great way to ‘dig’ for development of your idea. Here are some example questions for each RA paragraph that may help you plan/develop your I and S sections:
A. Target Audience (TA) – Why has this audience been chosen by the ‘company’/advertiser/text? What does knowing this TA tell you about the ad’s purpose/message? Why/how is this audience susceptible to the purpose/message of text.
B. Message – Why is this message being used by the ‘text’? How/why is this message meaningful to the audience? What is the message trying to make the audience feel or believe?
C. Manipulation/Persuasion – Explain a specific method/way the text tries to persuade the audience. How does this method of persuasion ‘work’ within the text? More generally, why is this approach to manipulation/persuasion used?
D. ***Effectiveness*** (prob. a paragraph only for ads) – How/why does the ad succeed or fail in its purpose? What could be done to make the ad more effective?
E. Effect – How does the add connect to, support, or create a problem in the real world? How/why does ad have this impact? How does the ‘effect’ benefit or damage the real life of audience?

Assignment #2: Mis and Dis
Purpose and Logistics:
Normally, as we work on assignment #2 in ENGL 301B we would be revisiting key structural elements of essays more advanced than the Five-Paragraph-Style (FPS) Essay. However, many of the lessons that I usually use for this assignment to focus on global organization are activities that (despite my best efforts) are activities that I don’t have an easy fix for to convert them to activities that can be done at home or online. So this is going to be a bit awkward.
Instead, we’ll drill down on paragraph development and strategies for introductory paragraphs and concluding paragraphs.
Moreover, since many (but not all) of you are taking the class C/NC instead of for a letter grade, some of you will only plan to write two out of class essays instead of all three.
This assignment topic should be completed by all students taking the class who DO NOT plan to use A1 in the final portfolio. It’s another argumentative, thesis-driven essay, and every passing portfolio should have one. A3 is a more narrative topic (although it does involve some heavy-duty analysis.)
However, I am mindful that even though this assignment has two topic options, both of them may be close enough to current events that students who either struggle with issues of anxiety or who are easily distracted by news in our current study and work environments might find this assignment hard to complete, even if you choose to focus on political mis and dis instead of public health mis and dis. (Those terms will make sense soon.)
To that end, I am posting the materials for A2 and A3 at the same time and asking students to make the choices that work best for them when selecting which assignment to work on next.
When we hold online classes, we may divide up into A2 and A3 groups to discuss the topics. Stay tuned for details.

ENGL2310 Essay 2 Assignment Due by Saturday, June 13, a.docx
ENGL2310: Essay 2 Assignment Due by Saturday, June 13, at 11:59pm Central
The Essay 2 assignment builds on the analytical skills you displayed in Essay 1, asking you to deepen those skills by applying two lenses to the readings. We’re also adding in our Weeks 5 and 6 reading, Heart of Darkness, a work of 20th-century literature. Exploring the intersection of two different themes is an opportunity to narrow your scope even further, giving you a stronger foundation for analysis.
For this assignment, you have the option to submit the essay as a normal Word document or as a digital text called a Sway. This is a chance to get experience with digital writing before the Final Project. (Here’s an example of a Sway that introduces postcolonial theory.) A multimodal approach with Sway opens many creative possibilities, but those should all be in service of enhancing a deep analysis.
Whichever mode of delivery you choose, the essay should have the elements of a scholarly literary analysis: APA or MLA citation style (you can skip the abstract!); a narrow, arguable thesis statement; separate supporting ideas with topic sentences/transitions; and a dynamic conclusion.
In this essay, you are expected to do the following:
1. Select two of the themes of postcolonial theory that you would like to explore. These will be the lenses through which you look at the literature. You’re more than welcome to stick to the same initial theme you chose for Essay 1 and add in a new one, or you could choose two entirely new themes to apply.
2. Describe the lenses and explain how/why they represent a promising combination. Why are they worthwhile to discuss in relationship to one another? How do they inform one another? How does the combination limit your approach in helpful, constructive, or opportune ways? Be specific.
3. Apply that lens to The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Tempest, and Heart of Darkness. This should be the bulk of your writing. How do the themes function within the story? What specific moments in the story are valuable for drawing deeper insights about the intersection between the two themes? Include balanced textual evidence, not simply general statements about the plot elements or characters. Ultimately, the analysis should answer this question: what do these three stories reveal about how these themes combine? What insight(s) can we take from the readings that apply beyond the literature?
Additional advice:
Your essay should be a postcolonial analysis, not just a character study or a general discussion of symbols in the literature. The focus on colonial relationships should not be difficult to maintain, especially as we’re tying in 20th-century literature that’s directly tied to actual colonial events. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re having trouble working through ideas or weighing your options.
As you can see in the rubric, a specific length is not part of the grading criteria, but successful essays are generally bet.

ENGL 151 Research Essay
Assignment Details
Value: 25% (additional 5% for Draft/Peer Review)
Due Date: Draft—Jun 10
Final—June 19
Length: 1500 words (does not count the references list)
Instructions
Write a 1,500 word argumentative essay in which you communicate and defend a thesis about a specific topic you have begun researching over the first four weeks of the term.
While your essay is based on your own opinion about a topic, the strength of your essay will depend on your ability to anticipate objections/questions from critical readers and address them by collecting and integrating supporting evidence from other texts. As always, I expect your argument to be thorough, well-reasoned, and concise. Don’t waste space with empty words.
Your analysis should have a strong, clear structure. As a guide, consider our standard conceptualization of essay format:
· Introduction paragraph containing (among other things) a clear thesis
· Body paragraphs discussing one aspect of the argument to support your thesis
· Conclusion paragraph that reminds readers of the thesis and major supporting ideas
Your essay must be formatted according to APA 7th edition guidelines, and you must cite both quotations and paraphrasing in APA style, which includes a References list.
Research
You must incorporate information from a minimum of five reliable and appropriate sources in your essay, at least one of which must be a scholarly article from the Camosun library database. Texts providing only general information (eg. dictionaries, encyclopedias, wikis) are not appropriate sources. Web resources from reliable sources (eg. American Medical Association, Statistics Canada) can be valuable, but extreme caution should be used when defining “reliable”. If you’re in doubt, discuss with other students and/or contact me.
Academic Honesty
Remember, plagiarism is a very serious offence. All borrowed material must be cited using APA style, and any paraphrasing must be significantly re-worded from the original material.
I expect you to limit the length of your quotations (all under 40 words long).
Essay Draft: Process and Grading
1. On Wednesday, June 10, before 12:00pm (noon), you will submit a draft of your research essay to the Essay Draft Drop Box on our D2L page. Your draft should be
· a complete essay that may lack the polish of a final draft
· fully cited in APA style, including in-text citations and a references list
· formatted in APA style (see sample on D2L)
· submitted without your name on it (don’t include it on the title page)
2. I will email you another student’s draft by 5:00pm the same day, and you will use the Peer Review Guide to give feedback on the student’s essay. The review process should only take 60 minutes max (that’s how long I give my students when we do this in class).
3. You will submit your feedback to the Peer Review Drop Box on D2L before Thursday, June 11, at 5:00pm.
The draft will be graded on a pass/fail basis. Failing to su.

Summarize, in three to five sentences, the overall argument being made in this essay. Share your opinion on how well you think this draft meets the assignment requirements.
INPUT: The overall argument mentions the association between bad health and low income. Daniel argues that poverty increases the risk of poor hygienic and health related issues. Mentioned, is the fact that without the proper income healthcare services are limited or not accessible to those in need.
I feel the draft does need more revision, but does meet the requirements provided to our class. I have a clear understanding of the link between poor health and poverty and believe we can make this a great paper.

1. How effectively does the introduction engage the reader while providing an overview of the main controversy being addressed?
Introductory paragraph flows, however, his argument needs to be more clear. Before mentioning his point of view on poor health care linked to political injustice, he mentions a point on education, which weakens his argument by diverting the subject. Although I believe this is the argument he was attempting to make, he then begins the body of his essay by discussing correlations between poverty, healthcare, and lifestyle (e.g., diets), which once again scatters his topic.

Instructor's Guide
Introduction To The Case
On January 28, 1986, seven astronauts were killed when the space shuttle they were piloting, the Challenger,
exploded just over a minute into the flight. The failure of the solid rocket booster O-rings to seat properly
allowed hot combustion gases to leak from the side of the booster and burn through the external fuel tank. The
failure of the O-ring was attributed to several factors, including faulty design of the solid rocket boosters,
insufficient low- temperature testing of the O-ring material and the joints that the O-ring sealed, and lack of
proper communication between different levels of NASA management.
Instructor Guidelines
Prior to class discussion, ask the students to read the student handout outside of class. In class the details of the
case can be reviewed with the aide of the overheads. Reserve about half of the class period for an open
discussion of the issues. The issues covered in the student handout include the importance of an engineer's
responsibility to public welfare, the need for this responsibility to hold precedence over any other responsibilities
the engineer might have and the responsibilities of a manager/engineer. A final point is the fact that no matter how
far removed from the public an engineer may think she is, all of her actions have potential impact. Essay #6,
"Loyalty and Professional Rights" appended at the end of the case listings in this report will be found relevant for
instructors preparing to lead class discussion on this case. In addition, essays #1 through #4 appended at the end
of the cases in this report will have relevant background information for the instructor preparing to lead
classroom discussion. Their titles are, respectively: "Ethics and Professionalism in Engineering: Why the Interest in
Engineering Ethics?;" "Basic Concepts and Methods in Ethics," "Moral Concepts and Theories," and
"Engineering Design: Literature on Social Responsibility Versus Legal Liability."
Questions for Class Discussion
1. What could NASA management have done differently?
2. What, if anything, could their subordinates have done differently?
3. What should Roger Boisjoly have done differently (if anything)? In answering this question, keep in mind
that at his age, the prospect of finding a new job if he was fired was slim. He also had a family to support.
4. What do you (the students) see as your future engineering professional responsibilities in relation to both
being loyal to management and protecting the public welfare?

Engaging Families to Support Indigenous Students’ Numeracy Development
Abstract
Indigenous children are performing poorly in mathematical skills compared to their non-indigenous counterparts in the classroom. Reasons such as unequal education opportunities and socio-economic factors have been put forward by education scholars to justify this statement. This paper will look at some of the learning and teaching strategies that can be used in Australian education to help indigenous students in improving their numeracy skills. https://yourhomeworkaide.info/2021/06/02/briefly-describe-an-organization-with-which-you-are-familiar-describe-a-situati/ The teaching and learning skills will revolve around engaging the families, improving the relationship between home and school, and bridging the cultural gap. The parents, the community and the educators have crucial roles in implementing these learning and teaching strategies.
Introduction
Numeracy skills have been an issue in the academic endeavors of many students in Australia. More so the numeracy skills are relatively poor in indigenous students compared to non-indigenous; the achievement gap between indigenous and non-indigenous widen over time and there is worrying evidence that the size of gap in recent years has been increasing (Klenowski, 2009). Indigenous people have not been recognized in the constitution therefore they are living as immigrants in their own mother land; this means they have been sidelined in national development activities, such as education, making it difficult to close the achievement gap between them and non-indigenous people.
Many people use the word numeracy interchangeably with mathematical skills, even though related, numeracy is a broad field that involves mathematical skills, problem solving and communication skills. Numeracy goes beyond the learning process that is mainly employed in a school setting; numeracy involves the understanding of quantitative techniques that are used to communicate, solve problems, respond to issues and help in the day to day undertakings. It is almost next to impossible to achieve numeracy skills without literacy.
Indigenous students have poor numeracy skills that are as a result economic, policy and pedagogical issues. The high levels of truancy and low performance can be attributed to the economic challenges that indigenous students undergo. Educational policies have not been able to provide a level playing grounds for indigenous and non-indigenous children, there has been unequal opportunities in terms of financing, tutelage and the curriculum. All these issues can be solved by engaging the parents and communities in the decision making processes on education issues especially those regarding indigenous students. https://intellectualessay.com/2021/05/08/mgmt2021-business-law-legal-systems-in-the-caribbean/

Effects of Behavior on Personal HealthIn growing recognition o.docx
- 1. Effects of Behavior on Personal Health In growing recognition of the effects of behavior on personal health, public health officials now also collect and analyze behavioral information regarding behaviors such as alcohol and drug use, seat belt and helmet use, smoking, nutrition, exercise, and sexual activities. Surveillance of noncommunicable conditions like heart disease and diabetes has also expanded in recent years. Whereas infectious disease surveillance relies heavily on case reports by physicians, behavioral and noncommunicable disease surveillance is primarily conducted through surveys designed to be representative of the sampled population. Discuss a Public Health (PH) change made on the local or state level based on the collection of behavioral health information. (300-500 words) Please include in-text citations, APA format headings and references.
