Discussion Wages-fund theory

200-300 word

For this Assignment, you will continue to learn about the structures and neurotransmitters of the brain by exploring the reward pathway and how it is impacted by addictive drugs or behaviors.

The mesolimbic pathway, or the reward pathway, increases the release of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens to provide a sense of pleasure and make the behavior more likely. This works well when the behavior conveys a survival advantage—such as eating, drinking, and reproductive behaviors—but not so well when this pathway is hijacked by recreational drugs or addictive behaviors, such as gambling or excessive exercise.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources that focus on the reward network of the brain and extend your research as necessary.
• Choose a specific addictive substance or behavior that interests you. Research its effects on the reward pathway and identify a treatment for the addiction you selected.

By Day 7

Write a 4- to 5-page APA-style paper that addresses the following:

• Describe the reward network of the brain, including the regions and neurotransmitters involved. Include a description of why this pathway is important from an evolutionary perspective.
• Select and describe how a particular addictive substance or behavior influences this reward pathway.
• Describe a treatment for the addiction you selected. Consider how effective the treatment is and what might be done differently, given your understanding of neurophysiology and neuroanatomy.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course. Zero plagiarizing, Quote work, No.coms

2. Assignment 3b: Analysis on the Threats Defense ArgumentDue in Week 10 and worth 100 pointsThe information you provided in your PowerPoint presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at the United Nations General Assembly! Hence, they are now asking you to create an additional analysis report to respond to the issues raised in these debates.Your fourth project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop a report that addresses the issues raised by some of the member states of the United Nations.Step I. Consider the Issues
   In Assignment 3a, you were asked to create a PowerPoint identifying the four most critical threats out of eight threats provided in the table below.
   

   Energy sources	Civil war
   Globalization	Poor health of entire populations
   Lack of educational opportunities	Cultural taboos
   Inappropriate uses of technology	Climate change

   There are four remaining threats that you did not discuss in your PowerPoint. This assignment will focus on those four. Here are the specific tasks you will complete:

   • Review the remaining four threats that you did not use in Assignment 3a.
   • Pick two of the four to focus on in Assignment 3b.
   • Identify the reasons why you think these two threats are less critical than the four threats you chose for your PowerPoint presentation.

   Step II. Prepare Your Report The UN has given you the following guidelines. IntroductionBriefly introduce the topic of the analysis (about 100-150 words).

   1. State the topic and intent of the paper.
   2. Identify the four threats you will discuss in the paper in the order in which they appear in the paper.

   Section I. Threat 1

   1. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.
   2. Write one page giving three reasons that explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in Assignment 3a.
   3. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.

   Section II. Threat 2

   1. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.
   2. Write one page giving three reasons to explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in Assignment 3a.
   3. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.

   Conclusion

   • Offer a summary (one page or less) of your defense of your choices that the United Nations can use to address their prioritization concerns.

   Formatting Requirements

   • Your paper may consist of up to four pages (not including the cover or reference pages).
   • Create headings for each section of your paper as follows:
     • Introduction
     • Threat 1 (include the name of your chosen threat)
     • Threat 2 (include the name of your chosen threat)
     • Conclusion
   • Use and cite four to six credible sources in your analysis. You may use the same source for more than one threat as long as you use a minimum of four different sources. A list of potential resources is available at the end of this course guide.
   • Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines; refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference.
   • Include a cover page with your name, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor’s name.

   The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is as follows:

Does regulation promote effective health outcomes and protect the public?

The principles that form the basis for legal interventions by public health agencies and others in government to protect and improve the public’s health include discharging the statutory duty to protect from harm and promote health and safety (Chamberlain, 2018). Some legal interventions are more controversial than others and starkly illustrate the challenge of balancing public goods and individual freedoms due to varying norms/attitudes, expectations, and values that may inform both public opinion and decision-making by legislators in different jurisdictions. Health care regulations and standards are necessary to ensure compliance and to provide safe health care to every individual who accesses the system. The health care regulatory agencies in turn monitor practitioners and facilities, provide information about industry changes, promote safety and ensure legal compliance and quality services (Chamberlain, 2018). The various regulatory bodies protect the public from several health risks and provide numerous programs for public health and welfare. Together, these regulatory agencies protect and regulate public health at every level. Health care regulations are developed and implemented not only by all levels of government (federal, state and local) but by private organizations as well.

Are regulatory bodies accountable to the public?

Professional regulatory bodies are held accountable by the public, the media, government, and other stakeholders for the conduct of their members. Although there is liability protection from legal actions provided for in their enabling statute, professional regulatory bodies are blamed when there is serious misbehavior on the part of a member of the profession and governments do intervene when professional regulatory bodies are seen not to carry out their public protection mandate (Oyetunde & Brown, 2014). For professional regulatory bodies, success is the extent to which potential harms to the public and users of the professional service have been reduced, suppressed, mitigated or eliminated, and that the government, the public and other stakeholders believe that the professional regulatory body is doing a good job of protecting the public
