Instructions
Use your previous assignments to identify a policy related to your chosen health issue and create a Prezi or PowerPoint presentation that focuses on the development, needed change, or implementation related to your health issue. Policy briefs are overviews of issues that are intended to inform policymakers. The presentation should be succinct, colorful, and designed to catch the attention of a busy policymaker. See the attached document below for more information.
The presentation should have the following structure:
Executive Summary
An overview of the problem, why change is needed, and your recommendations for change
Introduction
A clear statement of the problem, its causes, and why it is important
What are the key issues that are relevant to the health issue?
Approaches/policy options
Summarize facts, issues, contexts. Provide facts or examples that support the need for policy to change/impact/solve the issue.
Recommendations
Provide recommendations on development, implementation or changes that need to be considered to solve the health issue. Provide specific steps and reemphasize the importance of this change.
References
Each content component will have one or two slides.
Include a title and references slide
Use bullet points rather than paragraph form. The target audience is a policymaker, not a medical professional, so keep scientific jargon to a minimum.
Upload to your completed assignment to the ePortfolio from Unit 1 by Sunday night at midnight CT, for course objective #1. Failure to submit to your ePortfolio by the due date will result in a zero for this assignment.
Estimated time to complete: 6 hours

What are learning objectivesThese are the concepts we are learn.docxlillie234567
What are learning objectives?
These are the concepts we are learning in the class and the skills we are practicing. Each person comes into this class on a different learning path. For some of you, some of these objectives might be totally new, while for others they may be refreshers. Either way, the goal is to come away from the class further along than when you came in. Each person will develop in their own way, and that is OK. There is no “right way” or “one way” to accomplish these objectives.
I am your guide. It’s my job to design meaningful learning experiences, guide you through those experiences, give you meaningful and timely feedback, and work with you in class and one-on-one to help you learn in a way that is unique to you and your goals. The best way I can tailor your learning experience is for you to communicate with me often. Drop me a note, come by office hours, or chat with me after class and let me get to know you and your needs and goals!
English 288 Learning Objectives
As part of the general education curriculum, English 288 engages with writing as both a means of communicating and a way of making meaning. At the end of this course you will be able to:
1. Write for specialist and non-specialist audiences in specific professional situations. Analyze diverse audiences, social contexts, and professional cultures, and explain the way these factors influence the creation of specific instances of workplace writing for internal and external audiences.
2. Manage writing processes and projects. Identify, develop, and use effective strategies for planning, researching, drafting, and editing documents, individually and collaboratively.
3. Design usable and rhetorically effective documents. Make rhetorical design decisions about workplace documents and assess the usability of documents.
4. Collaborate with writing partners and on writing teams. Identify and apply strategies for successful teamwork and collaboration on multidisciplinary teams including giving and making effective use of peer feedback.
5. Plan and carry out primary and secondary research. Distinguish between and select appropriate research methods to produce professional documents.
6. Respond ethically to specific writing tasks. Explain ethical responsibilities in professional writing situations, and produce texts that respond ethically to global, local, economic, environmental, cultural, and societal contexts.
Instructions
You have created a policy brief presentation that has theoretically caught the attention of a lawmaker. He/she would like more information about this.

Performing health assessments as an APRN will help you to develop a collaborative partnership with your patients. After reading Chapter 4 and 12 in your Pender text, think about the vulnerable population that you choose during Week 1 - consider what you perceive / know about this group in relation to the following topics:
Health assets
Health problems
Health-related lifestyle strengths
Key health-related beliefs
Health behaviors that put the person at risk
Changes that could improve their quality of life
Now consider the pros and cons of implementing a Community-Based Participatory Research health promotion project with the vulnerable group.

T he fifteen year-old patient was scheduled for surgery on t.docxlillie234567
T he fifteen year-old patient was
scheduled for surgery on the right
side of his brain to remove a right tem-
poral lobe lesion that was believed to be
causing his epileptic seizures.
The surgery began with the sur-
geon making an incision on the left
side, opening the skull, penetrating the
dura and removing significant portions
of the left amygdala, hippocampus and
other left-side brain tissue before it was
discovered that they were working on
the wrong side.
The left-side wound was closed,
the right side was opened and the pro-
cedure went ahead on the right, correct
side.
The error in the O.R. was revealed
to the parents shortly after the surgery,
but only as if it was a minor and incon-
sequential gaffe.
The patient recuperated, left the
hospital, returned to his regular activi-
ties and graduated from high school
before his parents could no longer deny
he was not all right. After a thorough
neurological assessment he had to be
placed in an assisted living facility for
brain damaged individuals.
When the full magnitude of the
consequences came to light a lawsuit
was filed which resulted in a $11 mil-
lion judgment which was affirmed by
the Supreme Court of Arkansas.
A circulating nurse has a le-
gal duty to see that surgery
does not take place on the
wrong side of the body.
The preoperative documents
failed to identify on which side
the surgery was to be done.
It was below the standard of
care for the circulating nurse
not to notice that fact and not
to seek out the correct infor-
mation.
SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
December 13, 2012
Operating Room: Surgical Error Blamed, In
Part, On Circulating Nurse’s Negligence.
Surgical Error Blamed, In Part, On
Circulating Nurse’s Negligence
The Court accepted the testimony
of the family’s nursing expert that a
circulating nurse has a fundamental
responsibility as a member of the surgi-
cal team to make sure that surgery is
done on the correct anatomical site,
especially when it is brain surgery.
The circulating nurse is supposed
to understand imposing terms like se-
lective amygdala hippocampectomy
and know the basics of how it is sup-
posed to be done.
Hospital policy called for the sur-
geon, the anesthesiologist, the circulat-
ing nurse and the scrub nurse or tech to
take a “timeout” prior to starting a sur-
gical case for final verification of the
correct anatomical site.
The circulating nurse should have
available three essential documents, the
surgical consent form, the preoperative
history and the O.R. schedule.
The full extent of the error, that is,
a full list of the parts of the brain that
were removed from the healthy side,
should have been documented by the
circulating nurse, and failure to do so
was a factor that adversely affected the
patient’s later medical course, the pa-
tient’s nursing expert said. Proassur-

Performing health assessments as an APRN will help you to develop a collaborative partnership with your patients. After reading Chapter 4 and 12 in your Pender text, think about the vulnerable population that you choose during Week 1 - consider what you perceive / know about this group in relation to the following topics:
Health assets
Health problems
Health-related lifestyle strengths
Key health-related beliefs
Health behaviors that put the person at risk
Changes that could improve their quality of life
Now consider the pros and cons of implementing a Community-Based Participatory Research health promotion project with the vulnerable group. You should consider not only the benefit of the actions but the active role the vulnerable will play in the development and implementation of the health promotion plan. How does your population’s health disparities and health inequities benefit and/or hinder this type of project’s success? Remember that you should include citations/references from at least three scholarly sources.

T he fifteen year-old patient was scheduled for surgery on t.docxlillie234567
T he fifteen year-old patient was
scheduled for surgery on the right
side of his brain to remove a right tem-
poral lobe lesion that was believed to be
causing his epileptic seizures.
The surgery began with the sur-
geon making an incision on the left
side, opening the skull, penetrating the
dura and removing significant portions
of the left amygdala, hippocampus and
other left-side brain tissue before it was
discovered that they were working on
the wrong side.
The left-side wound was closed,
the right side was opened and the pro-
cedure went ahead on the right, correct
side.
The error in the O.R. was revealed
to the parents shortly after the surgery,
but only as if it was a minor and incon-
sequential gaffe.
The patient recuperated, left the
hospital, returned to his regular activi-
ties and graduated from high school
before his parents could no longer deny
he was not all right. After a thorough
neurological assessment he had to be
placed in an assisted living facility for
brain damaged individuals.
When the full magnitude of the
consequences came to light a lawsuit
was filed which resulted in a $11 mil-
lion judgment which was affirmed by
the Supreme Court of Arkansas.
A circulating nurse has a le-
gal duty to see that surgery
does not take place on the
wrong side of the body.
The preoperative documents
failed to identify on which side
the surgery was to be done.
It was below the standard of
care for the circulating nurse
not to notice that fact and not
to seek out the correct infor-
mation.
SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
December 13, 2012
Operating Room: Surgical Error Blamed, In
Part, On Circulating Nurse’s Negligence.
Surgical Error Blamed, In Part, On
Circulating Nurse’s Negligence
The Court accepted the testimony
of the family’s nursing expert that a
circulating nurse has a fundamental
responsibility as a member of the surgi-
cal team to make sure that surgery is
done on the correct anatomical site,
especially when it is brain surgery.
The circulating nurse is supposed
to understand imposing terms like se-
lective amygdala hippocampectomy
and know the basics of how it is sup-
posed to be done.
Hospital policy called for the sur-
geon, the anesthesiologist, the circulat-
ing nurse and the scrub nurse or tech to
take a “timeout” prior to starting a sur-
gical case for final verification of the
correct anatomical site.
The circulating nurse should have
available three essential documents, the
surgical consent form, the preoperative
history and the O.R. schedule.
The full extent of the error, that is,
a full list of the parts of the brain that
were removed from the healthy side,
should have been documented by the
circulating nurse, and failure to do so
was a factor that adversely affected the
patient’s later medical course, the pa-
tient’s nursing expert said. Proassur-

Study Participants Answers to Interview QuestionsParticipant #1.docxlillie234567
Study Participants Answers to Interview Questions
Participant #1:
1. What are the disparities between jail and youth rehabilitation for African American offenders?
a. African Americans will be imprisoned more than their white counterparts who will be given rehabilitation, institutional racism exists, and the system will spend more man hours and time dealing with white offenders than black offenders.
2. What are some social issues that African American juveniles are faced with?
a. Sociocultural stigmas, single-parent households, inadequate educational systems, poor role models, and single-parent households
3. Why are African American male juveniles not offered other means of rehabilitative punishments?
a. The New Jim Crow is our correctional system, which seeks to fill jail cells by incarcerating more black and Latino people who are then utilized as enslaved people in the system for huge corporations and the US Government. The system indicates they are not receptive and will not change.
4. What effects does the existing jail and punishment system have on this population?
a. Demeaning and discouraging—we should fund educational aid, mental health services, and instruction. Providing people with helpful tools, role models, and direction will also help them become contributing members of society
Participant #2:
1. Youth rehabilitation centers should provide mechanisms to prevent offenders from committing crimes but in order to effectively do that the differences amongst AA juveniles and other races must be addressed, while jail just allows for a separation from society to think about the crime.
2. African American male juveniles are faced with a predetermined
perception of being criminals as well as a lack of resources in their communities to educate them on the different career paths & trades that exist.
3. The funding doesn’t exist to provide other rehabilitative opportunities in AA communities.
4. The existing punishment system allows offenders to be separated from the public but it doesn’t provide them with any resources to be successful once their time is complete. Not addressing the underlying issues of how they entered the system as well as how to they can live a successful life after now being labeled as a criminal normally results in repeat offenders.
Participant #3:
1. The youth aren’t getting the proper guidance, mental healthcare and attentiveness in jail. They’re already “written off” which leads to them believing what they’re being taught and increasing the likelihood of them becoming repeat offenders. In youth rehab, you’re given a second chance, you’re being taught how to manage your mental and emotional state. You are being prepared for the world.
2. Prejudice. Are seen as thugs, no good. Etc. don’t have proper resources to get them back on their feet. Difficulty getting jobs, getting into school once released.
3. Unsure, but I’m sure it’s race.
4. You can become in.
STUDENT REPLIES
STUDENT REPLY #1 Vanessa Deleon Guerrero
When conducting surveillance, you are closely monitoring a person’s activities. Investigators or detectives watch their every move, at home, work, where they eat, shop all while being unnoticeable. When detectives conduct surveillance, they still need to ensure that they are respecting the person’s privacy. For example, detectives will not take photos of the person while they are in the shower. If the person is outside or in an area that has public view, then they can take photos of that person. They must conduct their surveillance in an orderly manner, without causing panic to the public in order to ensure public safety.
Private companies such as Facebook, Instagram or twitter are used for people to express themselves. However, what is posted on their social media becomes public and they make their lives public for everyone to see. If someone posted that they were just at a park where a shooting happened, law enforcement can use that to interview them because it puts them at the scene of the crime. However, private companies, for example like phone companies should not use data like text messaging for their benefit. They should not be allowed to read their customers’ messages or listen in on their phone calls. That is a true invasion of privacy.

Hello everyone, when I think of surveillance, I think of all the places that they put cameras like the ones at streetlights that catch you speeding or when they are looking for a suspect and they look to facial recognition devices. I think it is hard to balance what is expected to be private. I don't think anything is private anymore except possibly the bathrooms and even then, someone maybe recording you. Our cell phones I think are being monitored by so many companies and even those who want to steal our personal data as well.
"The government tracks movements through the acquisition of cell phone location data: historical cell phone location data, real-time cell phone location data, and actively "pinging" a cell phone for location data. Cell phone providers store location data as the normal part of their business of providing service. Police, in turn, can request that cell phone providers hand over this location data for a suspect over a set period of time. This information is classified as historical cell phone location data. This data stands in contrast to real-time location data. Whereas the former focuses on past locations, real-time data provides locations as they actually occur. Here, cell phone providers, upon request, give police contemporaneous data on the location of the nearest cell tower for tracking p.

STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL
INTRODUCTION
This report will provide a literature review of the concept and relevance of statistical process
control (SPC) from its inception until the present day. A case study of Waterside’s Leather
Limited (WLL) using the temperature data of its combined effluent discharge over one hundred
and twenty days will be conducted, and a recommendation will also be proposed.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Man has always tried to imitate and better his competitors to develop a better and cheaper
product or service. This idea was as crucial for the hunter-gatherer as it is for the manufacturing
industry after many millennia. This awareness led to the requirement of apprentices having to
follow in the footsteps of the master craftsmen for many years until they could become masters
in their craft. However, this was not a scientifically tabulated and monitored process.
Bradford and Miranti (2019) state that “it was in 1924 that Walter A. Shewhart introduced the
use of control charts to evaluate data distribution patterns to determine whether manufacturing
processes remain under control at Bell Telephone Laboratories”. He also introduced the terms
of variation in the process which comprises of common cause and special cause variation
(Subhabrata and Marien, 2019).
SPC is a technique for controlling processes to distinguish causes of variation and signal for
corrective action (Chen 2005 cited in Avakh and Nasari 2016). While some say that “SPC is
the use of statistically based tools and techniques principally for the management and
Statistical Process Control 4
improvement of processes” (Stapenhurrst, 2005), others say that “SPC is not really about
statistics or control, it is about competitiveness” (Oakland and Oakland, 2018).

The USA War Department used these methods to enhance the quality of products during World
War II. W.E Deming used Shewhart’s cycle in his quality training in Japan in 1950 but made
a new version stress.

The Tragedy of Othello
The “Devil” throughout the ages has been referred to by many names; accuser, adversary,
enemy, and thief among others, no matter what title is given he is universally accepted as the
purest and ultimate form of evil. In William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Othello,
Shakespeare uses the element of drama of character to create a villain that embodies absolute
wickedness, a human form of the author of evil. The character Shakespeare creates to serve as
the ultimate antagonist is none other than “honest Iago.” Iago’s character is the best
representation of an elusive villain whose clever abilities to deceive and persuade bring
catastrophic destruction like that of an unexpected, nearly invisible black ice. Shakespeare uses
the character to advance the theme that mankind has the ability to be influenced and even driven
to engage in repulsive and devastatingly horrendous acts towards to each other. Iago himself is
driven and influences the actions Casio, Othello, and Rodrigo.
Spurred by jealousy and the pain of an injured pride Iago observes the man who was
granted/appointed the position he believed to have deserved and conceives a plan for taking
Cassio(this man) out. The character Cassio is deceived and manipulated by Iago in two manners.
First Iago sets up Cassio to betray himself and be demoted and then later uses Cassio as a pawn
to play into an even greater and more elaborate act of revenge against Othello.
Giving into anger and jealousy, Iago devises a plan to crush Cassio and satiate the pain of

being passed over, Shakespeare writes:
I: With as little
a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio. Ay, smile upon her, do!
I will gyve thee in thine own courtship…
If such tricks as these strip you out of your lieutenantry, (2.1.162-4)
Critic August Schlegel notes, “…he spreads his nets with a skill which nothing can escape.” The
devastation of being passed over for the position drove Iago to exact revenge on the unknowing
bystander, Cassio. Pride is a powerful internal motivator that takes a tremendous toll on those
who allow it contribute to their actions or control their thoughts. It is easy to give into the
feelings of being wronged and turn an evil eye rather than applauding another in their success.
More commonly found in relationships is the mentality of if I can’t have him nobody will.
With ease and grace Iago is able to show Cassio false sympathy and gain trust that allows
him to direct Cassio’s actions, by creating false hope. Shakespeare writes:
I: …, I could heartily wish this had not
befall’n; but since it is as it is, mend it for your own good.(2.3.270-1)
I: I tell you what you
shall do. Our general’s wife is now the general...

Where’s the Beef?: Ethics and the Beef Industry
Americans love their beef. Despite the high rate of its consumption, in recent years
people in the United States have grown increasingly concerned about where their food comes
from, how it is produced, and what environmental and health impacts result from its production.
These concerns can be distilled into two ethical questions: is the treatment of cattle humane and
is there a negative environmental impact of beef production? For many, the current methods of
industrial beef production and consumption do not meet personal ethical or environmental
standards. Therefore, for ethical and environmental reasons, people should limit their beef
consumption.
The first ethical question to consider is the humane treatment of domesticated cattle. It
has been demonstrated in multiple scientific studies that animals feel physical pain as well as
emotional states such as fear (Grandin & Smith, 2004, para. 2). In Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operations (CAFOs), better known as “factory farms” due to their industrialized attitude toward
cattle production, cattle are often confined to unnaturally small areas; fed a fattening, grain-based
diet; and given a constant stream of antibiotics to help combat disease and infection. In his essay,
“An Animal’s Place,” Michael Pollan (2002) states that beef cattle often live “standing ankle
Comment [SL1]: Hi Logan! This is a great title.

Comment [SL3]: Throughout your essay, you talk about
more than just limiting the consumption of beef. How could

those points?

deep in their own waste eating a diet that makes them sick” (para. 40). Pollan describes
Americans’ discomfort with this aspect of meat production and notes that they are removed from
and uncomfortable with the physical and psychological aspects of killing animals for food. He
simplifies the actions chosen by many Americans: “we either look away—or stop eating
animals” (para. 32). This decision to look away has enabled companies to treat and slaughter
their animals in ways that cause true suffering for the animals. If Americans want to continue to
eat beef, alternative, ethical methods of cattle production must be considered.
The emphasis on a grain-based diet, and therefore a reliance on mono-cropping, also
contributes to the inefficient use of available land. The vast majority of grain production (75-
90% depending on whether corn or soy) goes to feeding animals rather than humans, and cattle
alone .

STEP IV CASE STUDY & FINAL PAPERA. Based on the analysis in Ste.docxlillie234567
STEP IV: CASE STUDY & FINAL PAPER
A. Based on the analysis in Step III, choose which theory best applies to this situation. Add any arguments justifying your choice of these ethical principles to support your decision.
Consequentialism (Utilitarian) Theory
Deontology Theory
Kant’s Categorical Imperative Principle
Social Contract Theory
Virtue Ethics Theory
NAME THE THEORY HERE: Deontology Theory
B. Explain your choice above: THIS AREA SHOULD BE 4-7 sentences or roughly 100-200 words.
Deontology is an approach to Ethics that focuses on the rightness or wrongness of actions themselves I choose this because ethical actions based on normative theories can be effective in developing better privacy practices for organizations. A business should be able to admit to making a mistake. This is especially important to shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders.It is important for businesses to operate with transparency. Consumers need to be able to trust what businesses present to them.
C. Your decision: What would you do? Why? List the specific steps needed to implement your defensible ethical decision. THIS AREA SHOULD BE 2 OR MORE PARAGRAPHS (250-350 words).
Deontology is a theory of ethics that suggests that actions can either be bad or good when judged based on a clear set of rules. So what I would do is set these rules in place. Businesses/companies should uphold the ethical standard of respect. People personal data shouldn’t be treated as ends rather than means. Companies should keep personal data about their customers/users and should be expected to keep this information private out of respect for these individual’s privacy.
Another rule, Businesses/companies should uphold complete transparency. This builds not only trust, but help builds a relationship with the users/customers. And if they don’t enclosed information the company’s actions would be considered unethical and wrong. Another rule is that there should always be accountability. A business/company should always be able to admit to making a mistake. This is especially important to shareholders, and stakeholders. They should be able to own up to missteps even when this could have serious consequences. With these rules emplaced it would be more ethical.
D. What longer-term changes (i.e., political, legal, societal, organizational) would help prevent your defined dilemma in the future? THIS AREA SHOULD BE 2 OR MORE PARAGRAPHS (250-350 words).
My dilemma is the misuse of personal information and data. Not just in social media but, also companies and business. One of the obvious ways to stop this dilemma is to make it that companies aren’t allowed to collect and store our personal data. User data can legally be sold as long as legal conditions for its collection and sale have been met and there isn’t any regulation against it. Our data is being sold for profit. This shouldn’t be allowed. There should be laws and regulations against that. They are the only ones benefiting.
Step 1Familiarize yourself with the video found here .docxlillie234567
Step 1:
Familiarize yourself with the video found here:
Link to Who Leads Us? video
AND the website associated with the video, located here:
Who Leads Us?
AND the website of your Representative in the United States House:
The US House of Representatives
Step 2:
After learning about Reflective Democracy across the United States it is time to learn about how it affects you. Begin by examining yourself and your surrounding community. How would you describe your cultural background? How would you describe the cultural background of your US Representative? How would you describe the cultural background of the district that he or she represents (and that you are a part of)? Compare and contrast the culture of the district to the culture of your Representative. Compare and contrast the culture of your Representative and your culture. Compare and contrast your culture with the culture of the district that you live. Where do you see the greatest differences between cultures? What are some advantages and disadvantages of these cultural differences? How would you work to bridge the divide between cultures? (SR 1)Step 3:
Find a policy issue that your Representative has taken a stand on. Explain that issue in detail. Once you have explained the issue, provide information on where your representative stands on the issue. Where do you stand on the issue? What do you believe should be done? What might be another alternative solution? Thinking about your ideas on the issue who might object to your viewpoint and what might their objections be? Once you’ve laid out their objections, respond to them, and explain, with logic, why your perspective is correct and your opponents’ objections are mistaken. (PR 1 and PR 2)Step 4:
Now that you have officially staked out a policy position, you need to think about how to get it put into action. Who in the government, and who in your community. do you believe should be involved? What specific actions should you (and those in the community) take? Why is it important to get your community involved and what will be the benefits of activating people to the cause? (SR 2)Step 5:
Let’s assume that you are successful in your efforts, and you achieve your policy goal. What do you believe will be the consequences of putting this policy into practice? How far reaching do you think the consequences will be for your community? Your state? Your country? What do you think will be the effects over the short term? Over the long term? Be sure to mention both positive and negative consequences that might result? (PR 3)

Property tax comes from housing. More new construction means more property taxes collected. The
better (so more expensive the home) the more property taxes collected. Defaults, foreclosures can
drive down house values and reduce property taxes. You are simply trying to understand some
forecasting regarding the future (maybe near-term future) of property taxes to be collected. CERNIK
Property Tax Remains Largest Revenue Source
According to the latest data from the Census Bureau, taxes paid by homeowners and other real
estate owners remain the largest single source of revenue for state and local governments. At
34%, property taxes represent a significantly larger share than the next largest sources: individual
income taxes (24%) and sales taxes (21%).
State and local government property tax collections continue to increase on a nominal basis.
From the third quarter of 2012 through the end of the second quarter of 2013, approximately
$479 billion in taxes were paid by property owners. This was a small increase from the
previous trailing four-quarter record of $477 billion, set last quarter.
The modest changes throughout the Great Recession in nominal state and local government
property tax collections are due in large part to lagging property assessments and the ability of
local jurisdiction to make annual adjustments to tax rates. In general, declining property values
are not reflected in the system until a few years after the decline occurs. Once assessments are
updated, property tax authorities can adjust rates thus maintaining a desired level of collection.

http://www.census.gov/govs/qtax/
http://eyeonhousing.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/piechart.png
As state and local government property tax collections increased in recent years, the share of
local tax collections due to property taxes fell from a high of 37.4% in the second quarter of
2010 to the current share of 33.5%. The average share for property taxes since 2000 is 32.4%.
The changing share of local collections is due predominantly to fluctuations in all other tax
receipts. State and local individual income tax, corporate income tax, and sales tax collections
are very responsive to changing economic conditions. For example, in the second quarter of 2009
state and local governments collected $76 billion in individual income tax. In the second quarter
of 2013, the most recent, state and local governments collected $114 billion in individual income
tax. The dramatic 50% increase in state and local individual income tax receipts is due to
improving economic conditions, rising incomes, and higher rates in several states.

Teenage Sleep and School Start Times
John, an average teenager, tries to get to school on time in the mornings. He sets two
alarms on his phone and often skips a shower or breakfast, or both, so that he doesn’t miss the
school bus that stops at his corner at 7:00 AM. Once at school, John joins his sleep-deprived
peers in mad dashes to their first classes. School is on, whether students are prepared to learn
or not. According to numerous studies, the average U.S. teenager gets between 7 and 7.25
hours of sleep a night, while his body needs between 9 and 9.5 hours. With the average start
time for high school in the U.S. 8:03 AM (Croft, Ferro, and Wheaton, 2015), it’s not a great leap
to conclude many high school students are sleep-deprived. High schools should implement later
start times to maintain healthy biological functions and to maximize learning for teenagers.
Comment [SL1]: While the sentence structure is a bit
repetitive, this introduction does a good job of engaging the
reader with the average teenager and providing the
necessary background information for the reader to fully
understand the importance of the thesis.
Comment [SL2]: This is a well written thesis statement. It
takes a clear position on one side of a debatable topic. It is
concise, yet provides adequate detail so that the reader
knows what your key points within the essay will likely be.

Sleep deprivation in teens affects their health, including issues like mood and behavior,
increased anxiety or depression, use of caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol, and even weight gain. Lack
of sleep increases the likelihood that teens across all socio-economic spectrums will be unable
to concentrate and will suffer poor grades in school as a result. In addition, teens, already in a
high risk category as new drivers, are more susceptible to “drowsy-driving incidents.” (Richter,
2015). These are all compelling reasons to consider changes in school start times for teenagers.

Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts.

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.
