Background
· Childhood/adolescent obesity affects millions with rates continuing to rise
· 43 million are affected by this debilitating problem.
· Individuals at greater risk are non-white subpopulation females with income below 130% poverty level.
· Higher educated individuals are at lessened risk than those with little or no education.
· Fast paced lifestyles contribute to growing number of obese children/adolescents
· Busy schedules encourage families to consume convenient fast food that is readily available with little nutritional value.
· Lifestyles require more than one household income which limits family meal times together.
· Instant and poor nutritional content of meals are prepared for the sake of time and convenience.
· Limited health education regarding food choices and physical activity add contributory factors to childhood obesity
· Physical activity time is limited due to busy testing schedules and school curriculum/demands for high testing performance among students.
· School vending typically has poor nutritional value, high sugar and fat content. Resistance to change in vending snacks from students and school staff may be added barriers for change.
· Funding is limited and lowers nutritional content that match up to what is recommended. Value enhanced food costs more than instant fast foods which require minimal or no preparation.
· Subpopulation Hispanic children/adolescents are at greatest risk for developing obesity
· Males represent 25.3% and females represent 21.8% of obesity.
· Cultural and economic factors contribute to high rates of consumption of high fat/starch/carbohydrate food content. These factors also lead to increased heart disease, hypertension and diabetes in this subpopulation.
Issues
· Type II Diabetes Mellitus and other chronic illness are increasing in youth
· Insulin Resistance, a precursor to Type II Diabetes, is increasing among youth, along with other chronic illnesses, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease.
· Increased preventative medical visits among youth, especially subpopulations, are risk factors that may lead to early death/morbidity in the new generations to come.
· Lack of health education, physical activity, and poor nutritional availability or poor choices aid in the epidemic of obesity in youth and subpopulations.
· Food is expensive, good nutritionally valued food is MORE expensive. Hard economic times place hardship on food choices made by families.
· Transportation is expensive and difficult for some to travel to farmer’s markets beyond walking distance. Perishable foods/or fresh fruits and vegetables require fr ...

Abstract
Obesity among American Hispanic females between the ages of twenty and sixty-four years old is the new health inequality in the United States. Food, physical activity, and obesity are one of these twelve leading health indices categorized as important national health issues by Healthy People 2020. Obesity is classified as anyone who surpasses substance mass indicator (BMI ) of thirty. According to females' wellness, three at four American females are overweight or obese. History of woman in Sports For most human history, healthy rivalry has been considered as an entirely masculine thing. Females weren't allowed to see most sporting events. Let only act in them. Not till late nineteenth century did females start participating in sporting events. Although females were allowed to participate in some sports, relatively few showed benefit, for a variety of cultural and mental reasons that are even poorly understood.
Although the fast gains seen in fat since the 1970s seem to have leveled off, Fat and obesity continue to take severe issues in the United States. Increasing physical activity and improving food are keys to fat prevention and control, in addition to policies that alter the situation to make wholesome eating and healthy physical activity more comfortable, safer, and more pleasing are expected to take most effective.
· Campaigns relying mainly on knowledge distribution and training to alter attitudes and behaviors associated with food and physical activity are the great importance of government action to ensure obesity. One might believe that the American world is flooded with media pictures that encourage fitness and inform about the risks of obesity (ONYECHERE, 2014).

Effects of unhealthy eating habits
Specific Aims
1). Concise statement of goals I would like to work with individuals experiencing health problems due to unhealthy eating habits, and inactivity. The purpose is to see if participants would agree to attend the program for 5 days to learn about healthy diet, food, exercise, food preparation, calorie count, and if they would use resources available to help them with their diet and exercise.
2). Novel Design
Chart #1: Displays the numbers of people eating fruits, vegetables, and consuming a low cal diet, vegetarians, dieters, unhealthy eaters
Chart #2: Displays the five categories that I will use to create manuals for participants to review to learn about the socio demographics, psychosocial knowledge and how beliefs attitudes and norms are part of self-efficacy and it establishes behavior patterns.
Per: Raghunathan, Rajagopal, et al. “The Unhealthy = Tasty Intuition and Its Effects on Taste Inferences, Enjoyment, and Choice of Food Products. “Journal of Marketing, vol.70, no. 4 (2006), pp. 170-184
3). solve a specific problem
I would like to design a comprehensive program on a community or state level that addresses poor eating habits, poor nutrition, and physical inactivity. Within the State of Maryland we have a large amount of chronic diseases and death per year due to the poor diets that people have become comfortable with, and the lack of physical activity which also contributes to the high rates of sugar diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and stroke. This is a serious matter when you think about it 1 out of 10 people suffer from one or more of the chronic diseases listed. I would like to have a facility where I can teaching people how to eat by using scales to measure the portion of meats, vegetables, fruits, measuring the amount of calories, carbohydrates, saturated fats, total fat, what foods to eat, how to prepare them. If I can encourage families to join us for a day to enjoy fun exercise activities, along with healthy meal made using fresh fruits and vegetables. Families will want to come again enthused to improve their dietary patterns and activities. Within this facility I would like a gym and track to allow them to exercise because this will boots their energy and if we meet with them three times a week to teach regular physical activity. The object is to show them how to improve their muscle strength and boost their endurance. The gym would afford them the resource needed to exercise. The exercise gives them great benefits to deliver oxygen and nutrients to their tissues and improve their cardiovascular system. The nutrition program and the exercise stem together would make this efficient. By showing participants end results that reflect a healthier heart and lung they will feel good an ...

Planning Your Visit - School Nutrition
School health and nutrition and reducing childhood obesity call for crucial attention for the health, wellbeing, growth, and development for school aged children. Changes must be made to assist schools to implement and improve on educating children on the importance of eating healthy and increasing daily physical activity. The purpose of this paper and this writer’s priority issue is to provide healthier food options on school menus for children by discussing the importance of a dietitian and their role of implementing these healthy options. In addition, recommending assisting meal programs and school gardening. The overall focus is to improve children’s diet and increase healthier lifestyle by decreasing the rate of childhood obesity.
Key Strategies
As a nurse, nutrition is an important topic to advocate. Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States putting children at risk for poor health and serious health conditions (Weicheselbaum, Buttriss, 2014). According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (2017), about 1 in 6 (17%) of children in the United States are considered overweight or are considered obese. This writer’s purpose is to advocate and implement healthy lifestyles modifications starting at a young age. These concerns will be addressed by contacting the State House Representative, Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones.
The first step in planning the visit was conducting research and gathering contact information on local schools in the community, a dietitian, and a local policy maker or legislator who seems to express the same concerns to implement healthier nutrition in schools. A detailed email outlining the current status, an overview of the plan with potential benefits or outcomes, as well as potential drawbacks and costs was sent to Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones. The principal of Pembroke Pines Charter Elementary School, Michael Castellano, the director of dining services of Chartwells, Javier Diaz, would also be contacted. After two days, a telephone call was placed and a meeting was set up with Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones. Prior to placing a telephone call and prior to the meeting, this writer prepared the night before for the meeting conversation and possible questions that may arise. Upon meeting with Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones, this writer introduced herself, gave a concise background of the years of experience in the healthcare field, and expressed how important healthy living is. The conversation then started by mentioning that this writer wants to make a policy change of changing school nutrition by including healthier options for children to chose from. In doing so, hiring a dietitian, recommending providing assisting meal programs and school gardening were suggested solutions. Facts were given about how serious childhood obesity is and the health problems associated with this condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovasc.

1) Please explain the components of the Prism Model and why these components are important in creating a welcoming school that promotes success for English Learners.
2) There have been many programs and ideas in the US Public schools for how best to serve English Learners and close the gap between those who enter school speaking English and those who have to learn English along the way.
Following is a list of Bilingual Education Models that have been tried. According to the text book and the research of Virginia Collier and Wayne Thomas, please rate the following programs from 1-6 with 1 being the most effective program for student success and 6 being the least effective program for learning English:
__________Maintenance Bilingual Ed., Self-Contained
__________Transitional Bilingual Ed.
__________One-way Dual Language
__________Pull-out Bilingual Ed.
__________Two-way Dual Language
__________Enrichment Bilingual Education (30 min. per day)
The following programs are designed for ELs who do not live in an area where bilingual ed. is available or do not qualify for bilingual education due to the language they speak. Please rate the following ESL programs on a scale of 1-4 with 1 being the most successful way to teach English and 4 being the least effective program:
__________ESL Pull-out
__________Sheltered Instruction in the regular classroom
__________Total emersion with no language support
__________English enrichment, 30 minutes per day, by classroom teacher
3) Please explain the difference between a 50/50 model and a 90/10 model of Dual Language Education.
4) Why does 2-way Dual Language Education usually have better results than 1-way Dual Language Education?
5) In order to have an effective Dual Language program, there are two important things teachers should not do. What are they?
6) What does it mean to see other cultures not as a deficit but as a difference? Why is this idea important to your classroom?
7) We are required to have many formal assessments in our educational curriculum. However, informal assessment can be much more informative to the teacher of language learners. Please explain why Informal Assessments might be a better way for the teacher to know the true level of the student.

Dr. Frick
Case 1: Family Loyalty vs. Meritocracy
A man was appointed president of the newly-acquired Philippine subsidiary of a large American company. He was reviewing the organization with the company's head of human resources. One thing the president noted was that the same names reoccurred frequently in several departments. "It is our tradition," commented the HR head. "Families take care of their own. If one family member gets a good job in a Philippine company, other members of the family apply to join that company and the first member there can help the whole family become successful by helping them get hired and by coaching them to be successful. The company benefits. Our costs of recruiting are lower, we know more about the people we hire, and the commitment to family success results in fewer performance and discipline problems because family members want to please their older relatives."
The president wondered how these practices would be regarded in a large American firm, and whether or not he should take action to change them.
1. Nepotism is not illegal, but is it ethical?
2. If the business is family-owned, does that make a difference?
3. How does national culture affect this discussion?
Case 2: Is the Two-Tier System Ethically Problematic
Employees at a cereal makers plant were “locked-out” from their jobs producing cereal for over 3 months. Company management and the union representing the employees reached a stalemate in negotiations resulting in the lockout. The union claims that the primary issue is the company’s demand of dramatically increasing the number of temporary workers, who would earn $6 less per hour and receive fewer benefits. Critics claim this effectively creates a two-tier system at the plant. Under the current agreement, the company may use temporary workers for up to 30% of the workforce, but the union claims the company is now pushing for 100%. The workers, who have had their health insurance suspended, fear that their jobs will either be replaced entirely by temporary workers, or they will be f ...

Barbara Corcoran Learns Her Heart’s True Desires
In her hilarious and lighthearted book, Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 Into a
Billion Dollar Business, Barbara Corcoran demonstrates the importance of knowing what
you really want out of life (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011). As her title suggests, Barbara
founded her real estate company, The Corcoran Group, with only $1,000 and some big
dreams. Shortly after founding the company, Barbara took out a piece of paper and wrote
down some big goals for herself and the company. In 1978, she had only 14 sales agents
working for her, who earned a total of $250,000 in commissions. She set a goal of
doubling the number of agents and the commissions every year. So she put down 28 sales
people for 1979, 56 for 1980, and so on, all the way up to 1,792 salespeople in 1985 with
total commissions of $32,000,000. Barbara was amazed when she saw the fantastic sums
projected for 1985, and of course many people, when they see such amazing sums, would
dismiss the calculations as fantasy But as Barbara put it, she went to work the next day
hustling hard for her $32 million.
Real estate agents are paid largely by commission, which is about as close as you
can get to a pure form of contingent reward for performance. However, Barbara didn’t
rely solely on the commissions to motivate her workers. She threw theme parties and held
numerous social events to build a committed workforce. Good sales agents could always
move to another firm, but not every firm had Barbara’s positive attitude and fun-filled
atmosphere. In the early years of the firm, when money was tight, Barbara and her
relatives did the cooking for the outings and parties, and she found clever ways to
entertain people with skating parties and other lively activities. As the firm became larger
and more profitable, she even hired professional entertainers for the company’s midweek
picnics, which included elephant shows, daring rides on hot air balloons, horses, or
Harley Davidsons, etc. Barbara stated “I built my company on pure fun, and believe that
fun is the most underutilized motivational tool in business today. All of my best ideas
came when I was playing outside the office with the people I worked with” (Corcoran &
Littlefield, 2011, p. 283). What did she get in return for the fun atmosphere? She had the
“most profitable real estate company per person in the United States” (p. 284). By the
time she sold her agency in 2001, she had 1,000 agents working for her, and she had the
largest real estate agency in New York – clearly her motivational strategies attracted a
large number of productive employees.
Barbara Corcoran had sold her firm for $66 million. She thought that would make
her happy, but instead, it made her sad. Although she pretended to be happy with her new
wealth and freedom, she was “secretly miserable” (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011, p. 232).
She had lost her purpose ...
Bapsi Sidhwa’s Cracking India

Pavan Malhotra - Butcher
IN Deepa Mehta’s words
I wanted desperately to make CRACKING INDIA into a film, a particular film, EARTH, which would be the second in my trilogy of the elements of Fire, Earth and Water.
Tracing Bapsi was no easy task but persevere we did and soon I was talking to Bapsi on the phone, hoping that the film rights to her book were still available. Two months later, thanks to David Hamilton's unwavering belief in the project, we owned the rights, had development funds, and I was sitting at my kitchen table, writing the screenplay of EARTH.
David and Anne Masson and I had worked together on FIRE and we re-assembled the team to begin the detailed planning of the production.
During this phase Bapsi became a friend and was exceedingly generous with information and old photographs. She would talk with me for hours about what it was like growing up in Lahore during those times. Lenny, after all, was based on Bapsi. In fact, Lenny was Bapsi.
The irony of our situation hasn't escaped Bapsi or myself. Bapsi is from Pakistan and now a US citizen. I'm from India and now living in Canada. If neither of us had moved from our respective homelands, the film just wouldn't have been possible. Pakistan and India, since the Partition of 1947, are sworn enemies. Not only have they fought three major wars against each other, but also, as I write this, both countries talk blithely about their nuclear capabilities and continue their militant aggression against each other across the still- disputed Kashmir border.
Fallen Women in the novel and film
Abducted women like Ayah and Hamdia, Lenny’s new nanny are viewed with suspicion from Lenny.
Page 226
“It isn’t a jail, Lenny baby…it’s a camp for fallen women.”
“What are fallen women?”
“Hai! The questions you ask! Your mother won’t like such talk…Now keep quiet”
“Are you a fallen woman?”
Fallen women – Abducted and raped women
In the aftermath of the 1947 declaration of Indian independence, the roughly drawn new state boundaries triggered what may have been the biggest migration in human history.
Historical consensus supports a figure of 12 million people displaced, although the BBC suggests figures as high as 14.5 million people. An undeclared civil war erupted as communities of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs fought one another to establish their own identities in their redefined homelands. And, in the process, the Indian government estimates, 83,000 women were abused and abducted. Others put the number even higher.
“Rather than being raped and abandoned,” Yasmin Khan writes in The Great Partition: The ...
Barriers of therapeutic relationshipThe therapeutic relations.docxrock73
Barriers of therapeutic relationship:
The therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse is often filled with barriers that can generate obstacles for the relationship and, in the end, the health system as a whole (Sfoggia et al.,2014). There are many factors that hinder building a therapeutic relationship: language, professional jargon, communication impairment, and cultural diversity (ibid).
Language:
Language can be an obstacle to nurse-patient communication because a patient may not be able to speak the same language and therefore communication is not possible (Levin,2006). The best way to overcome this barrier is providing a translator who can explain a professional facilitator's message easily to the patient(ibid). For instance, if the nurse only speaks English but the patient is only able to speak Arabic, a translation to the patient of what the professional facilitator is saying leads to less chance of misunderstanding (ibid). Translation also allows a patient to feel comfortable through being able to speak in their own language (ibid).
Medical jargon:
Jargon is a technical language that is comprehended by people in a specific industry or area of work (Leblanc et al.,2014). Health professionals often use jargon to communicate with each other(ibid). For example, T.B. disease stands for tubercle bacillus and HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus (Mccrary & Christensen,1993). Jargon often makes sense to health professionals but a patient who does not understand these acronyms will not understand such communication, leading to a barrier in therapeutic relationship between patient and health professional (Leblanc et al.,2014).
Communication impairment:
Patients with communication impairment such as blindness, deafness and speech impairment often feel isolated, frustrated and self-conscious (O’Halloran et al.,2009). Some patients are born with such disabilities or have developed them as a result of disease (ibid). Therefore, nurses should provide enough time in order to describe any issue to such patients so that they do not feel uncomfortable or censured by health professionals, who must remain impartial (ibid).
Cultural diversity:
Patients often have various differences (Leblanc et al.,2014).Some of these differences are due to a patient's illness, social status, economic class, education and personality(ibid). However, according to Kirkham (1998), the deepest differences might be cultural diversity. Beheri (2009) points out that many nurses believe if they just treat patients with respect, they will avoid most cultural issues. Nevertheless, avoiding misunderstanding can be achieved through some knowledge of cultural customs, which might help and enable nurses to provide better health care to patients (ibid).
Facilitators of therapeutic relationship:
UNCRPD (2006) states that the most fundamental human right in hospital is communication. Patients are required to be provided with an effective communication method by nurs ...

Critical Analysis of the religious nature of Buddhism
The religious community often debates on whether Buddhism is categorized as a religion or as philosophical teaching. The answer to the question varies depending on an individual’s point of view. There are three main types of Buddhism practices across the world with each of them having smaller branches with slights variances in their teachings and beliefs. The different styles of Buddhist mainly encompass Theravada Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism. The various forms often have deities that are worshipped while others do not. Some often have scriptures while others do not usually believe in any physical form of the Buddhist teachings. The first article is authored by Rachel, a blogger, presenting the argument that Buddhism is a religion (Rachel, 1). On the other hand, the second article authored by Pamela Winfield recognizes Buddhism as a philosophy. Analyzing and comparing the two pieces having divergent views on the religious nature of Buddhism is crucial for understanding whether it is a religion or philosophy.
Summary of the articles
Rachel in her article considers Buddhism as a religion. The author acknowledges the fact that Mahayana Buddhism which is often found in greater part of Asia that includes Japan, Korea, and China often teaches on attaining enlightenment (Rachel, 1). The Mahayana often accept that every individual wishes to ensure the effective attainment of enlightenment and thus end the cycle of rebirth which others recognize as “Karma.” The article proceeds to state that Buddha is the greatest of the deities but is not worshipped. Instead, Buddha often inspires all those who practice doing as he once did. The author states that Buddhism often requires that the individuals that choose the wrong path attempt to re-accomplish these tasks in their next life alongside other punishments imposed on them by karma. The characteristics of this type of Buddhism thus often play a significant role in showing the religious nature of Buddhism. The author concludes by stating that Buddhism often contains all the different elements of a religion. Moreover, the article associates Buddhism with fallacies that characterize other religions and just as dangerous as other religions as well. A quote proves the claim on the dangerous nature of Buddhism that the author uses to summarize the teachings of Buddhism.
On the other hand, Winfield tends to focus on enlightening the readers on some of the aspects of Buddhism that ensures its a ...

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Attacking the Challenge of the Epidemic of Childhood Obesity
Issue and Subpopulation
Children

Liberty University/Health 507 section
Word Count: XXXX
Dr.Sharlee Burch
Date
2. Background
· Childhood/adolescent obesity affects millions with rates
continuing to rise
· 43 million are affected by this debilitating problem.
· Individuals at greater risk are non-white subpopulation
females with income below 130% poverty level.
· Higher educated individuals are at lessened risk than those
with little or no education.
· Fast paced lifestyles contribute to growing number of obese
children/adolescents
· Busy schedules encourage families to consume convenient fast
food that is readily available with little nutritional value.
· Lifestyles require more than one household income which
limits family meal times together.
· Instant and poor nutritional content of meals are prepared for
the sake of time and convenience.
· Limited health education regarding food choices and physical
activity add contributory factors to childhood obesity
· Physical activity time is limited due to busy testing schedules
and school curriculum/demands for high testing performance
among students.
· School vending typically has poor nutritional value, high
sugar and fat content. Resistance to change in vending snacks
from students and school staff may be added barriers for
change.
· Funding is limited and lowers nutritional content that match
up to what is recommended. Value enhanced food costs more
than instant fast foods which require minimal or no preparation.
· Subpopulation Hispanic children/adolescents are at greatest
risk for developing obesity
· Males represent 25.3% and females represent 21.8% of
obesity.
· Cultural and economic factors contribute to high rates of
3. consumption of high fat/starch/carbohydrate food content.
These factors also lead to increased heart disease, hypertension
and diabetes in this subpopulation.
Issues
· Type II Diabetes Mellitus and other chronic illness are
increasing in youth
· Insulin Resistance, a precursor to Type II Diabetes, is
increasing among youth, along with other chronic illnesses,
such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease.
· Increased preventative medical visits among youth, especially
subpopulations, are risk factors that may lead to early
death/morbidity in the new generations to come.
· Lack of health education, physical activity, and poor
nutritional availability or poor choices aid in the epidemic of
obesity in youth and subpopulations.
· Food is expensive, good nutritionally valued food is MORE
expensive. Hard economic times place hardship on food choices
made by families.
· Transportation is expensive and difficult for some to travel to
farmer’s markets beyond walking distance. Perishable foods/or
fresh fruits and vegetables require frequent visits to the grocery
store or farmer’s market.
· Health education and rationale for knowledge is limited within
schools and competes with core curriculum requirements
mandated by pass rates for funding. Physical activity available
is limited to bare minimum allotted time by legislative mandate.
· Fast food is convenient, available and tempting to consume on
a regular basis.
· High fat and sugar content, preservatives and sodium
contribute to the prevalence of childhood obesity as it contains
flavor that entices large portions to be consumed.
· Current efforts in progress are being developed and
4. implemented to decrease childhood obesity rates
· Nutritional content and healthier options are available in many
fast food restaurants.
· Physical activity is encouraged and offered in many after
school programs via grant incentives.
· Local organizations, such as Turning Point and other
coalitions, have developed farmer’s market availability and
health prevention education within schools and communities.
· Some state Nutrition and Fitness organizations (via grant)
offer youth BMI evaluation for schools. Reports within public
health organizations are available.
· Many schools are conforming to lower sugar/fat content and
better food options within school lunch rooms and vending.
· Many schools have chosen to adopt tobacco free policies
which benefit youth and all citizens. Smoking exacerbates
chronic illness, which, if accompanied by obesity-could lead to
early death.
· Obesity currently costs the U.S. $254 billion in productivity
and $60 billion in treatment/medical expenditures.
Biblical Applications
· Say to him: ‘Long life to you! Good health to you and your
household! And good health to all that is yours! 1 Samuel 25:6
· Health has been desired among biblical beings since the
beginning of time.
· Good health is a measure of contentment and happiness.
· This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your
bones. Proverbs 3:8.
· Health and nourishment of our bodies is an ultimate goal
which enables holistic balance and tranquility.
· Lord, by such things people live; and my spirit finds life in
5. them too. You restored me to health and let me live. Isaiah 38:1
· The Lord provides spirit in all that he delivers us to restore
our health for life.
· On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a
doctor, but the sick. Matthew 9:12.
· Healthy individuals will be free of illness while those who are
unhealthy may
undergo illness that requires medical attention.
· Medical needs are greater for those that are sick rather than
the healthy one who takes advantage of healthful lifestyle.
· Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all
may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3
John 1:2
· Health is a well wish by many to those who are loved and
cherished
· Spiritual and bodily holistic health is of utmost value to those
who desire good health and balance of both.
· Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy
Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You
are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor
God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
· God wants us to be healthy by taking care of our physical
body as well as our spiritual body.
· He paid the price for our eternal lives; therefore, honoring
Him with spirituality and goodness to our bodies is essential in
honoring Him. He provides all we need to sustain health.

7. MBA Capstone Project Guidelines
Throughout your MBA program, you have worked to develop as
a practitioner-scholar to meet the needs and future challenges as
a business leader. Your program culminates in the capstone
project, which forms the primary focus of MBA6900, the final
course you will take in the program. The capstone project is
intended to provide you the opportunity to demonstrate your
MBA program outcomes by:
· Planning and executing the strategic and tactical elements of a
comprehensive project.
· Integrating and demonstrating skills and techniques you have
learned throughout the MBA program.
· Communicating project outcomes both in written form and in a
formal presentation.
· Completing your MBA program with an experience that
reinforces and integrates the components that have preceded it.
The following information outlines the requirements and work
associated with the capstone project for MBA6028 and
MBA6900.
Capstone Project Examples
Examples of project types that might be proposed to meet these
requirements include but are not limited to:
· Preparation of a strategic plan for an organization.
· A strategic analysis of all or a selected part of an
organization.
· Development of a case study of all or a selected part of an
organization.
· Development of an intervention, such as a workshop or
training activity, that is broad- based enough to demonstrate the
program-level outcomes.
· Development of a consulting report on a problematic issue
8. within an organization, provided that the issue is broad-based
enough to demonstrate program-level outcomes.
You may propose other structures for the capstone project so
long as you are able to identify how the proposed project
satisfies the requirement of demonstrating the program-level
outcomes. When choosing your topic, keep in mind that your
capstone project must result in recommendations, next steps, or
some other type of actionable, evidence-based take-aways for
the reader or subject of the project.
Capstone Project Requirements
The capstone course project must demonstrate your achievement
of the MBA program outcomes. The following table is taken

MBA Capstone Project Guidelines
10. 9
When proposing a capstone project in MBA6028, you will be
required to identify how the proposed project addresses the
demonstration of program outcomes 1, 2, 5, and 6. Outcomes 3,
4, and 7 are demonstrated by the quality of the final deliverable.
The project will be completed individually, not in teams. In
addition, the capstone project must meet these criteria:
· The organization must be real, not fictitious. This may be an
organization to which you have direct access for data gathering
or one for which you will gather data via published sources. In
either case, it must be an organization for which you can gather
the data needed to complete the project. If need be, you may be
allowed to use a disguised name for the organization in the
project report, but you must disclose to the instructor what
actual organization is being used as the setting for the project.
· The scope of effort required should be such that, once planned
in MBA6028, the project can be completed in a single, six-week
iteration of MBA6900; extensions will be granted only in
unusual situations.
MBA6028 Capstone Planning Requirements and Timeline
Since the six-week duration of a single MBA course may not
provide enough time for both planning and delivering the
capstone project, planning for the project begins in MBA6028 –
Business Integration Skills. Typically, this course is taken in
the period immediately before the capstone course. During
MBA6028, you will complete a proposal for the project that you
will deliver in MBA6900. Specific milestones for this proposal
include:
· Unit 1 – You will post a discussion with a preliminary
summary of and rationale for what you are considering as a
11. project, for feedback from colleagues and your instructor.
· Unit 3 – You will submit a draft proposal for the project to
your instructor for feedback. (Appendix A below contains a
template to prepare the proposal and Appendix B illustrates an
example of a completed draft.)
· Unit 5 – You will submit the final proposal in Unit 5 to the
instructor for grading. (Appendix C below contains an outline
you may adapt to prepare your proposal.)
Note: Successful completion of an acceptable proposal will
facilitate a smooth transition into your capstone course and help
you make timely progress toward your degree completion. Be
sure to contact your instructor with any questions or challenges
you have completing your proposal.
MBA6900 Capstone Deliverables
Once you have successfully completed MBA6028, you will
move on to your final course, MBA6900. In MBA6900, you will
complete the following:
Unit 1 Capstone Project Summary – You will develop a brief
summary of your capstone project to help your instructor
become familiar with your capstone project and provide
appropriate guidance. This project summary will specify the
topic and scope of your project, including a rough outline of
your final capstone project and a project plan that briefly
outlines what you plan to do each week to ensure timely
completion of your capstone.
Units 2, 4, and 5 Progress Reports – In each unit, you will
prepare a brief report of the status of your project, based on
your plan. You may also submit parts of your project for
feedback.
Unit 3 Capstone Project Draft – You will submit a draft of your
capstone project for feedback on your progress toward
12. demonstrating your program outcomes, based on the final
Capstone Project and Presentation Scoring Guide.
Unit 6 Capstone Project and Presentation – You will submit
your final Capstone Project and Presentation assignment. You
will deliver two work products to complete this project:
· Written Report – The final written project report will be a
formal document prepared for the key stakeholders of your
project. The structure and length of the document will vary
according to the type of project being undertaken, but the report
is expected to be substantial: approximately 20-40 pages in
length.
· Oral Presentation – This formal oral presentation will be
supported by an MS PowerPoint presentation including slides
with notes. The oral presentation will be recorded using Adobe
Connect, and uploaded to the MBA6900 courseroom for review
by your colleagues and a formal review by the instructor. This
presentation should be no more than 15-20 minutes in length
and will serve to present all facets of the capstone project.
Appendix D below contains the scoring guide rubric with
grading criteria for your final capstone deliverable. Be sure to
review the criteria often throughout your project to ensure you
are fulfilling the expectations for demonstrating your program
outcomes.

HLTH 507
Bulleted Policy Issues Paper Instructions
Overview:
Describe a health problem that negatively impacts a particular
subpopulation in the United States, identify the root cause(s),
and give examples where application of Biblical principles have
led or should lead to improved health status. Through this
paper, you will gain experience in identifying and describing a
particular population and identifying potential root causes for
difficulties that may be affecting this population. You will
become familiar with the various aspects of the public health
and health care delivery systems in the U.S., and those
populations who continue to suffer. By developing root causes
and potential solutions, you will enhance your understanding
and ability to make sound judgments and recommendations
23. related to public health problems. By correlating with Scriptural
principles, you will understand the continued impact of sin on
society.
The Bulleted Policy Issues Paper is the foundation for
Discussion Board Forum 2 in Module/Week 4, the Policy
Recommendation Outline in Module/Week 6, and the Policy
Recommendation Paper in Module/Week 8. Please read the
specific directions for each assignment carefully.
Paper Description:
You will explore in detail a health problem that negatively
impacts a particular subpopulation, such as the poor, those
without health insurance, those marginalized in society (due to
race, economic status, immigration status, illness, or other
reasons), or another group. The problem may deal with legal
issues, ethical issues, professionalism, access to care, quality
and appropriateness of care received (or lack thereof), persistent
illness, inability to be fully integrated in society due to a
particular health problem, or some other issue of your choosing.
Identify the root cause(s) contributing to this problem, and give
at least 2 examples where application of Biblical principles
have led or should lead to improved health status. Remember
the issues and areas you studied and discussed in Module/Week
1. Build off of those areas and arguments to make your case.
Your audience for this Bulleted Policy Issues Paper is a policy
maker who is too busy to read more than a two-page summary
of the issue. This is not a paper to be published in a journal; it
is a paper that will lead to policy change in its final form (the
Bulleted Policy Recommendation Paper due later in this
course). See the document “How to Write a Bulleted Paper” and
sample papers in the Assignment Instructions Folder.
This paper is to be short—800–1000 words—and must be
written in bullets. While an additional sentence may be
necessary to expand upon or explain the primary bullet, more
than 3 sentences in a bullet are too many. Think short and be
concise. Present your argument, justify it with 2–4 sub-bullets,
24. and then move on to your next point. Use Times New Roman 12
pt. font with 1” margins and double spaces between primary
bullets.
Title and References Pages:
The Bulleted Policy Issue Paper is to have an AMA style title
and reference page, neither of which will be counted in the
word count. On the reference page, you must provide at least 3
references, 2 of which may not be assigned readings or the
Bible.
Due Date:
The Bulleted Policy Issue Paper is to be submitted by 11:59
p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 2.
