Rough Draft Analysis of Argument Essay
In the article “What Else Can I Do to Get the School Supplies My Student Need?” the author discusses that, textbook still plays an important role in today’s class. There are so many debates about weather using online text book or physical textbook in school nowadays. The author as a college teacher claims that physical textbook helps her students have better understanding of knowledges. Also, she thinks physical textbook reduced the financial burden on students. However, online source or online textbook should have more benefit then the physical textbook.
First of all, the author claims that physical textbook could helps student read and understand better of new knowledges. The resources that teachers need for their teaching are so differently. It depended on student’s grade and their teaching style. Even people nowadays assume textbooks are outdated, inefficient and biased, author still think using textbook is very important for students to know about some academic basic information, which could help students master the course better.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI, 2012) described abnormal uterine bleeding as bleeding that differs in quality and quantity from normal menstrual bleeding, such as women spotting or bleeding between the women’s menstrual periods; bleeding after sex; bleeding heavier or last more days than normal; and bleeding post menopause. According to SREI (2012), factors that can cause abnormal bleeding include structural abnormalities of the reproductive system, such as uterine polyps, fibroids, and adenomyosis. Furthermore, SREI (2012) explained that vaginal, uterine or cervical lesions, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, endometritis, adhesions in the endometrium, and use of an intrauterine device (IUD) can also cause abnormal bleeding. Johns Hopkins Medicine (2016) specified that early recognition of abnormal bleeding, and seeing a health care provider immediately for appropriate diagnosis and treatment increase the chance of successful treatment. Therefore, the author will focus on a single patient comprehensive evaluation, which includes the patient’s personal/health history; physical examination; laboratory/diagnostic tests; diagnosis; treatment/management plan; education strategies; and follow-up care.

ALL QUESTIONS, INCLUDING “OPINION QUESTIONS” REQUIRE CONCLUSIONS BASED UPON FULLY ARTICULATED AND REASONED PREMISES, NOT JUST A SUMMARY OPINION ANSWER,
1. lf a terrorist group sets off a nuclear bomb in one American city which city do you think they will choose and why? Discuss fully.
2. Nuclear Terrorism
a. Is it in the interests of a foreign government to harbor/sanction a terrorist group in its territory that it KNOWS to be planning to detonate a nuclear bomb in one or more American cities? Yes or no and why?
b. Discuss any immediate and long term consequences of such a government’s decision to harbor such a terrorist group?
3. Discuss problems of international scope that can be or have been created by the current three non—signatories to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Of 1969, namely, India, Pakistan and Israel. Note: also address North Korea, which though it has signed the NPT is not in current compliance. Iran has signed the NPT though there are issues with the West.
4. Thanks to hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking
, the United States is now the world’s number one producer of natural gas though not of oil. Yet, the worldwide price of oil is always valued in US. dollars. Why is this so? What international consequences or for individual countries might exist if oil were NOT so pegged in US. dollars?
5. Twenty-one leaders of the Nazi regime were tried at Nuremburg immediately after World War II. They were tried under four counts agreed by the victorious allies: war crimes not justified by military necessity, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace and waging aggressive war. Eleven defendants were hanged; three were acquitted and seven were given prison sentences. All imprisoned defendants were released early, except Albert Speer and Rudolf Hess who had been imprisoned in England after 1940. Except for War Crimes trials held at The Hague after the Bosnian War of 1993, no war crimes trials have been held, no perpetrators of Nuremburg offenses have been tried, punished or even sought out by the NATO allies or otherwise by the international community. With all of the destructive and genocidal wars that have occurred since WWII and the villains who have perpetrated Nuremburg crimes, why have not more war crimes trials occurred? Are the Nuremburg offenses of any enduring value? Is there such a thing as meaningful international law in the Nuremburg trials?
6. The Ukraine situation

b. Leaving aside who or which side is responsible for starting the conflict, do you think the Weste.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI, 2012) described abnormal uterine bleeding as bleeding that differs in quality and quantity from normal menstrual bleeding, such as women spotting or bleeding between the women’s menstrual periods; bleeding after sex; bleeding heavier or last more days than normal; and bleeding post menopause. According to SREI (2012), factors that can cause abnormal bleeding include structural abnormalities of the reproductive system, such as uterine polyps, fibroids, and adenomyosis. Furthermore, SREI (2012) explained that vaginal, uterine or cervical lesions, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, endometritis, adhesions in the endometrium, and use of an intrauterine device (IUD) can also cause abnormal bleeding. Johns Hopkins Medicine (2016) specified that early recognition of abnormal bleeding, and seeing a health care provider immediately for appropriate diagnosis and treatment increase the chance of successful treatment. Therefore, the author will focus on a single patient comprehensive evaluation, which includes the patient’s personal/health history; physical examination; laboratory/diagnostic tests; diagnosis; treatment/management plan; education strategies; and follow-up care.

1. lf a terrorist group sets off a nuclear bomb in one American city which city do you think they will choose and why? Discuss fully.
2. Nuclear Terrorism
a. Is it in the interests of a foreign government to harbor/sanction a terrorist group in its territory that it KNOWS to be planning to detonate a nuclear bomb in one or more American cities? Yes or no and why?
b. Discuss any immediate and long term consequences of such a government’s decision to harbor such a terrorist group?
3. Discuss problems of international scope that can be or have been created by the current three non—signatories to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Of 1969, namely, India, Pakistan and Israel. Note: also address North Korea, which though it has signed the NPT is not in current compliance. Iran has signed the NPT though there are issues with the West.
4. Thanks to hydraulic fracturing, or

, the United States is now the world’s number one producer of natural gas though not of oil. Yet, the worldwide price of oil is always valued in US. dollars. Why is this so? What international consequences or for individual countries might exist if oil were NOT so pegged in US. dollars?
5. Twenty-one leaders of the Nazi regime were tried at Nuremburg immediately after World War II. They were tried under four counts agreed by the victorious allies: war crimes not justified by military necessity, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace and waging aggressive war. Eleven defendants were hanged; three were acquitted and seven were given prison sentences. All imprisoned defendants were released early, except Albert Speer and Rudolf Hess who had been imprisoned in England after 1940. Except for War Crimes trials held at The Hague after the Bosnian War of 1993, no war crimes trials have been held, no perpetrators of Nuremburg offenses have been tried, punished or even sought out by the NATO allies or otherwise by the international community. With all of the destructive and genocidal wars that have occurred since WWII and the villains who have perpetrated Nuremburg crimes, why have not more war crimes trials occurred? Are the Nuremburg offenses of any enduring value? Is there such a thing as meaningful international law in the Nuremburg trials?
6. The Ukraine situation

There is a notably challenging requirement for all emergency manager.docxalisoncarleen
There is a notably challenging requirement for all emergency managers and homeland security professionals at all levels and across all sectors—coordinating plans with all potential stakeholders. Prospective partners can range from one incident to the next, but plans and planners must accommodate the needs, interests, and capabilities of all potential contributors so as to create the most comprehensive and integrated plan, policy, or strategy. One might consider such coordination a matter of common sense, but this is often overlooked, at least in part, for various reasons.
Causes might stem from the actions—or lack thereof—of EM/HS team members, external partners, or both. Lethargy; lack of resources such as time, funding, or expertise; lack of interest on any stakeholder’s or planner’s part; lack of understanding the criticality of advance collaboration; or a simple failure to follow up with organizations and individuals upon whom an EM/HS may depend, may each play a part in explaining why collaboration is not fully accomplished. It can also be difficult for individuals at the planner level, or those inexperienced in incident response, to have the vision that is necessary to foresee an assortment of circumstances requiring relationships with agencies and people and their attendant special capabilities.
Stakeholders may include fire, police, emergency services, and community leadership. Providers of public services, including public utilities, school leadership and networks, city engineers, and others, are also probably key players to consult. However, threats, conditions, hazards, limitations, geography, climate, and many other factors also combine to create the need for tailored planning, which will probably require special relationships. In other words, there is no one-size-fits-all template to employ for identifying, developing and nurturing requisite partnerships.
Advance coordination—that is, developing relationships, sharing information, and understanding the various contributors’ capabilities before you need them for managing emergencies—is essential. Knowing what specific skills, resources, and capacities entities can bring to bear in preventing or responding to crises allows planners to incorporate these capabilities into strategies, plans, and exercises. This knowledge also aids leaders and resource managers in identifying gaps in capacity, which will need filling somehow. At the same time, once an incident occurs or seems immediately likely, the ability to contact vital participants to literally assemble and join the active response effort makes for an optimally efficient and effective endeavor.
What type of information is coordinated? Everything from listing points-of-contact and their current, tested contact information to knowing what special skills an organization or individual might have. For example, if the community believes that certain hazardous materials are a threat, say by accidental spill or if used in a weapon, the EM.

2. The article by
Tyack
has made me reflect on the why behind some of the actions I took as a student growing up in the public education system. As a child, I was aware of what made a student "successful" which meant saying the pledge of allegiance every day, following the directions of the teacher, correctly regurgitating information on the tests and attaining an A. As I can recall, lessons in most of my classes were mostly rote and of only one perspective. Now that I am older and have 5 years of classroom teaching experience, I have had the opportunity to look at the reasons for why I was educated in the way I did. Understanding the context in which our educational system was purposed which was mainly to create patriotic students who would assimilate to an American culture. In the mid 20's during the WW1 era that there was a lot of pressure to maintain conformity due to the high stakes nature of war. In 1923, 35 states enacted laws that made E

Tyack
, 1993).
Even the Ku Klux Klan in Oregon was trying to ensure all students attended public school (
Tyack
, 1993). This idea of conformity and rote learning was one of the leading reasons I was disenfranchised with school during my childhood even though I succeeded academically on paper. It wasn't until college that I really had professors that pushed me to analyze and look at events through different perspectives. It now makes sense that teaching students a rote conformist style of education is a tool mainly used for control. For example, in the article in mentioned how Mexicans would not want to engage in menial jobs if they were properly educated, because they realized they could accomplish much more. This idea led to schools tracking students based on their perception of their capabilities which meant students of color would thereby be placed in a lower track or lower achieving classes. We know the theories that used race and head size as a rationale to confirm intelligence were absolutely false and that intelligence is not based on race at all. Education has a negative connotation in my opinion largely due to some people in history using it as a tool to control or coerce people into thinking they are not capable because of the way they look. This sways far from the intended purpose of creating citizens that will be able to analyze and think critically in a variety of academic disciplines, so they can be contributing members to our democracy. Part of thinking critically is being able to empathize and see the world through the .

I always remember my education in my public grade school as a very positive and safe environment. There is no doubt that the teachers played a big role in creating such an environment and they were always excited to be at work. Experiencing this type of education in my primary years inspired me to become this kind of teacher for my first graders. On the other hand, I remember that there came a point in about fourth grade where I began losing interest in school. Looking back I know that it was because I did not feel challenged. Because of this, I felt as though there were talents and strengths that I had that I was not able to fully develop and utilize. Because I lacked in motivation and yearning to challenge myself, I promised myself that I would be a teacher who challenged all of her students regardless of their backgrounds and abilities.
My philosophy of education is to hold all students to high standards and instill in them the confidence and motivation to reach those high standards. This takes a lot of trust on their end so it is also my philosophy to create an environment where students feel comfortable to explore new ways of learning, thinking, and expressing themselves.
Motivation theories have always stuck with me since motivation was something that I struggled with in school. Intrinsic motivation, self determination, and autonomy support (2010) are all theoretical underpinnings to my philosophy.
My school site prides itself on community. This year we implemented the “TRIBES” agreements school wide. It gives our community guidelines to follow and we are able to hold each other accountable. Following the Tribes agreements means that students must show mutual respect, not put each other down, listen attentively, try their personal best, and they are given the right to pass in community circles. These agreements not only apply to the students, but to our entire staff and parents as well. As a first grade teacher, it is something I am reminding my students of daily. I try to implement a community circle once a week. The most recent circle we did was an appreciation circle where we gave a compliment/ appreciation to the person to the right of us. It only takes about 15 minutes, but it is this kind of activity that creates an environment where students feel included and appreciated. Furthermore, it is in this type of classroom where students can find motivation to succeed in learning.

There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international inve.docxalisoncarleen
There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international investments. One aspect relates to human rights. Most Latin American governments have constitutions that mandate health care as a human right, yet some of these countries provide poor health care for the majority of their population.
During the 1980s, the general populace of these countries deteriorated, even though several Latin American countries developed strategies to reposition medical personnel and services to rural areas. Throughout this time, many international donors provided assistance; however they did so with imposed conditions. An example of this constrained assistance was the World Bank, which imposed restrictions that included privatization of health care, as well as required limitations on universal access.
Did the World Bank and other international donors act responsibly and ethically in constraining their humanitarian assistance? Who has the responsibility for the health care of the Latin American people? Is it a reasonable and socially responsible practice to offer international assistance in exchange for an opportunity to shape a country's political and/or social system? Why or why not?

in terms of theme (scientific experimentation, transgression, ethics, & hubris); plot; and moral caution.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Report 2: Discharge Summary
Diagnoses include:
1. Chronic pelvic pain secondary to pelvic metastatic clear cell
carcinoma of unknown primary location.
2. Vena Cava syndrome post placement of Hickman catheter.
3. Anemia due to chronic disease.
4. Hypertension.
HOSPITAL COURSE:
The patient is a 78 year old female whom we have been
following in our clinic for hypertension and also chronic
pudendal nerve pain. She had been recently diagnosed with
pelvic metastatic clear cell carcinoma, which her primary
location is unknown at this time. She will be discussing this
further after the pathology reports are read. During her hospital
stay a Hickman catheter was placed in order to have IV access
for pain medication or future cancer therapy. She was also
admitted for chronic pain. She did develop swelling of her arms
and neck. She was brought to interventional radiology and she
did have venography and the Hickman catheter was removed.
Her swelling to her arms and neck have decreased greatly. She
denies any shortness of breath. No choking sensation as
2. previously noted. Her pain has been managed well with fentanyl
patch at 175mcg. She has also been on IV heparin therapy for
anticoagulation following the vena cava syndrome. Today, the
patient has been having complaints of nausea. She did get some
dexamethasone IV for her nausea, which did improve later this
morning. Her blood pressure has been under good control. Her
labs today include a WBC of 5.18, hemoglobin 7.8, hematocrit
23.7, protime 14.4, INR 1.5, PTT 39.6, BUN 6, sodium 139,
potassium 4.2, and CO2 27.2.
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS:
1. Will continue home medications.
2. Phenergan 12.5 1-2 tabs p.o. p.r.n. every 6 hours for nausea.
3. Lovenox 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 24 hours.
4. Fentanyl patch 175 mcg to be changed every 3 days.
5. Epogen 40,000 units subcutaneously weekly at the Cancer
Center.
REPORT 3. CLINIC CHART NOTE
HISTORY: This 16 year old female is seen today after falling
off a curb and twisting her right ankle. She is normally a patient
of Dr. Anderson, who is out of town this week. She states that
she has pain surrounding the entire foot and ankle. Seems
unable or unwilling to bear weight.(Problem focused history)
PHYSICAL EXAM: Ankle and foot examined. Foot is warm to
the touch. Some swelling and bruising noted around the lateral
aspect of the ankle. X-ray is negative for fracture. (problem
focused examination)
3. IMPRESSION: Sprained right ankle. (MDM complexity
straightforward)
PLAN: Elevation; ice to affected area. Weight bearing only as
tolerated. Return for follow-up p.r.n.
REPORT 4: ADMIT INPATIENT
This is a 19 year old with a living-related donor kidney
transplant as of last month and admitted to hospital for possible
sepsis.
HISTORY: This patient has Type 1 diabetes and had been on
dialysis for a number of years before transplantation. She
received her mother's kidney on the 14th of last month from the
Medical Center Transplant Program in Dallas. She was there
this Tuesday for a transplant visit and apparently did not feel
well, but they were not certain whether this was a problem or
not; but they did go ahead and do blood cultures and called the
public health nurse, who was visiting the patient today, and said
that one of the cultures was positive for group B strep. The
home health nurse called me and stated that the patient has
really gone downhill the past few days and was quite fatigued
with generalized malaise. Denied cough, fever, or shaking chills
but looked poor overall, and the nurse was quite concerned. We
recommended she be brought here for evaluation and treatment
as an emergency. After arrival here, she was in no acute
distress. Initially, she had bibasilar crackles on deep breathing;
however, most of these cleared. I cannot hear any significant
pulmonary abnormality on auscultation or percussion. Her heart
is normal regular rhythm. No significant murmurs, rubs, S3, or
S4. Her abdomen is negative. Her left lower-quadrant kidney is
nontender. She has no lateralizing neural sounds. She is a little
lethargic. She does not feel warm. Apparently she is afebrile.
4. Her blood pressure is normal, and she is not tachycardic, but
she simply does not look well. Past history, social history, and
system review are per our recent old chart and noncontributory
at present.
CLINICAL IMPRESSION: One positive group B strep blood
culture, significance, and/or etiology to be determined. My
impression at this time is probably a significant finding, and I
suspect that this will become a progressive syndrome of not
treated.
ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSES:
1. Living-related donor kidney transplant
2. Diabetes mellitus type 1
3. Hypertension
REPORT 5: NEPHROLOGY HOSPITAL PROGRESS NOTE
This patient continues to be stable with no new problems. Her
cultures remain negative, and she remains afebrile. Her
clearance is pending, but she certainly has settled down nicely.
The main problem we are having is with her diabetic
management. It simply is not working with the former twice a
day of 70/30 insulin plus a nighttime Lantus. I think we should
go one way or the other, and we will go to Humalog before each
meal, starting with an estimated dose of 15 per meal and 40 of
Lantus in the evening, and we will titrate from there. We will
get Accu-Cheks before each meal to reflect the previous meal's
dose of Humalog and adjust it accordingly. Other than that,
tomorrow we will review her case with infectious disease with
regard to the duration of her antibiotic therapy. Thus far, our
cultures have remained negative; however, the positive group B
5. strep is not the type of typical contaminant you get in a blood
culture, and we must take it at face value.
