This essay is a causal argument having to do with the appeal of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic stories or movies. You will be required to use evidence from Alas, Babylon(it’s a book written by Pat Frank, you can search for summary online) and the movie 28 Days Later(I will send you the link to watch the movie); you may also use other evidence, including the following:

-other stories and films, including graphic novels
-Stephen King’s essay “Why We Crave Horror Movies,” you can also use it as a sample essay (I will attach it)
-additional sources

This essay will require two or three affirmative body paragraphs that argue for the causes YOU think are most likely.

The essay also requires a Big Mac counterargument paragraph that presents and responds to an alternative cause. The response needs to either utterly reject the cause or argue that the cause is not one of the top two or three. However, you cannot simply stop there; you must use reasoning and evidence to persuade readers that this cause is not plausible or instrumental.

Big Mac Counterargument:

This essay requires a Big Mac counterargument paragraph that presents and responds to an alternative cause. Simply stating the opposing view is not enough; as with any Big Mac, you must DEVELOP the opposition’s side with reasoning and evidence. You will not necessarily have DIRECT evidence in the form of a quotation from someone else; the evidence will often involve a close examination of a SPECIFIC phenomenon or scene from a text that you know well.

In addition, simple acknowledgment is not enough; you must reject the cause as either implausible or not important enough to make the top two or three causes–and, as with any Big Mac, you must support your refutation with persuasive reasoning and evidence.

Read the Big Mac Counterargument Template I attached.

Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to include

page, level headings, and a reference page.

Case study #1

Mrs. Franklin-Jones

was admitted
from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac

step down
unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook

different
than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”

• Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge?
• Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients?
• Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones.
• Discuss the strengths and limits
  
  to
  Leininger’s Theory.

Case Study #2

Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care

items,
and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff.

• Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role?
• How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?
• How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment?
• Discuss the strengths and limits
  
  to
  Watson’s Theory.

This paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1500 and 1750 words in length

You will be responsible for posting a response to one of the “Think About Its” at the end of the covered chapters. You will need to summarize each chapter and generate a critical opinion of your own based on the assigned readings for class discussion. You will also need to make at least one comment on another student’s response.

Please do Chapters 6

And responds this one: In today’s lecture, I was able to learn about long term memory and it’s structure. In particular, long term memory has a long duration, no limitations to remembering, and a large capacity. With this information in mind, four things I remember about the last 5 minutes are I was watching the lectures on a patient who had damage to his hippocampus, the patient was not able to remember events after having damage to his hippocampus, the Levels of Processing Model only contains one store where an input is followed by a working memory, and I remember thinking about what time it is because I needed to go to bed soon. I think most of what I was remembering was in my STM while I was remembering it. Based on the fact that short term memory is storing small amounts of information for a brief period of time, I think my memory of wondering what time it is and the Levels of Processing Model are apart of my short term memory (137). I believe these two aspects are part of my short term memory because they only lasted in my thoughts for about 15 to 20 seconds for I later forgot these thoughts. Moreover, as emphasized in the lecture, STM has a short duration that last about 18 seconds and a small capacity. In contrast, I believe the knowledge I learned from the patient who experienced damage to his hippocampus was in my long term memory. I believe this memory is part of my LTM because I was able to store this information for it stretches from just a few moments ago to as far back as I can remember. When thinking about the struggles the patient went through from the lecture, I did not hesitate to look back at my notes which supports I was able to remember this information.
