High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a sweetener derived from corn that is commonly used in processed foods and beverages. There are several misconceptions about HFCS and how it impacts health compared to ordinary sugar. HFCS is made up of fructose and glucose, like sugar, but in slightly different ratios. Research shows the body processes HFCS and sugar similarly, and the small differences in their compositions are unlikely to meaningfully affect health. While excessive consumption of either can contribute to weight gain and related issues, moderation is more important than the source of simple sugars in one's diet. The facts suggest HFCS does not deserve its poor reputation if sugar would be consumed in its place.
The leadership gap refers to an expected shortage of healthcare leaders over the next 10 to 20 years.

1. Assignment: intercultural issues.
Assignment: intercultural issues.Assignment: intercultural issues.Directions: 1100
wordsChoose a movie which focuses on intercultural issues. This can be any intercultural
topic either within a US or international context (e.g., topics related to gender, race,
disabilities, sexual orientation, language, international travel). If you are not sure whether
your choice of movie fulfills the criteria, come and talk to me. Assignment: intercultural
issues.After watching the movie, provide a short (not longer than 1 page) summary of the
movie. Basically, tell me what it was all about. (This summary is part of your paper, not a
separate paper.)Then, choose three intercultural or communication themes in the movie
that are of interest to you. For example, if the movie makes use of stereotypes, this could be
a theme. Or, if a character in the movie cannot speak English, this could be a language
theme. After identifying three themes, describe these three themes by using examples from
the movie. For example, for the stereotype theme, choose scenes that illustrate the
stereotype(s) and explain/describe them to me.After this part of the paper, relate the
storyline/topic of the movie to everyday life. Looking at each of the three themes that you
chose to write about, how do they influence our communication with other people on a
daily basis? For example, if you picked the language theme mentioned above, what are the
challenges communicating with someone who cannot speak our language and vice
versa?End your paper with a general conclusion on whether you think that the movie you
analyzed or movies in general influence our perceptions and understanding of other
cultures. Were you influenced by what you saw in the movie? Assignment: intercultural
issues.ORDER HERE FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your
paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
2. wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE CLASSDiscussion Questions (DQ)Initial responses to the DQ should address all
components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at
least 250 words.Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the
discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one
scholarly source.One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good
post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses
should be at least 150 words.I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as
applicable) into your responses.Weekly ParticipationYour initial responses to the
mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.In addition to
the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days,
for a total of three replies.Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation
(unless you cite someone else’s work).Part of your weekly participation includes viewing
the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These
announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the
week.APA Format and Writing QualityFamiliarize yourself with APA format and practice
using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing
Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper
templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or
absence of APA format (if required).Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the
source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.I highly recommend using the APA Publication
Manual, 6th edition.Use of Direct QuotesI discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs
and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.As Masters’ level
students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information
from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not
demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.It is best to
paraphrase content and cite your source.LopesWrite PolicyFor assignments that need to be
submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index
(SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.Once you have received your report,
please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors
that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off
for these mistakes.Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not
paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your
own?Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in
