​Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States.

/in /by

Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States. One reason is the lack of commitment to heart healthy lifestyle. Your lifestyle is not only your best defense against heart disease, it’s also your responsibility.

Research and discuss the causes of cardiovascular disease and its relationship to diet and exercise.

Assignment Requirements

  • Written Paper with a minimum of 350 word in paragraph form
  • You must cite at least 3 credible sources in the text of your paper and in the bibliography at the end.

Assignment Topic
Research and discuss the causes of cardiovascular disease and its relationship to diet and exercise. Compare and analyze your own personal lifestyle choices (Portfolio Lab assignments) to determine your risk of the disease and form a conclusion as to what changes you can make to decrease your risk. Finally, share information with others in order to encourage healthy behaviors within the community. The following information will help you with the type of information that should be included. You are not limited to this, it will just give you a general idea of what I am looking for in the assignment.

Part #1– Research and discuss the causes of cardiovascular disease.

(Use at least 2 credible sources for Part #1- be sure to cite source IN THE TEXT and as a bibliography at end)

  • What are the causes?
  • Why is it a health concern?
  • What is the incidence of the disease/how many are affected?
  • Is it preventable?
  • What is the cost of the disease to the US?

Part #2– What is the relationship between cardiovascular disease and diet and exercise? (Use at least 1 credible source for Part #2- be sure to cite source IN THE TEXT and as bibliography at the end.)

  • What types of foods contribute to our risk?
  • Does physical activity help in prevention?
  • How does inactivity increase our risk?

Part #3– Compare and analyze your own personal lifestyle choices that contribute to YOUR risk of cardiovascular disease. Cite the lab assignments that you refer to. Example: “According to my BMI lab assignment, I am at greater risk…” or, “After reviewing my Nutritional Analysis Lab assignment, I realize…”

What are the lifestyle choices you are making that increase your risk?

Look at data from the following assignments

  1. BMI assignment
  2. How Healthy is Your Lifestyle Survey
  3. Fast Food nutrition
  4. Nutritional Analysis
  5. Food Color Chart assignment
  6. Sugar assignment

Be sure to cite the source of this information. (Example: “According to my Nutritional Analysis I do consume too much…”)

Part #4– Form a conclusion as to what changes you can make in your own personal lifestyle choices in order to decrease risk.

  • Specifically what can you do to decrease your risk NOW.
  • How will those changes benefit your future health

Part #5 Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility

Hopefully your workouts have allowed you to experience the positive benefits of physical activity. It is now time to share that with others. Physically inactive individuals are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease. According to the Center for Disease Control, if every physically inactive person became active, we would save 77 billion in health care costs every year. Only 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 3 children get the recommended amount of physical activity.

Invite at least 2 people (adult or child) to participate in a workout with you. It can be your regular workout or you can do something different (ride bikes, take a free class at gym, try a new workout DVD etc.)

Reflect on this experience and include the following information:

  • Who did you invite to workout out with you and why did you choose that person?
  • What information did you share to encourage them to participate?
  • Did you notice a difference in the individual’s attitudes toward physical activity with regards to their age, ethnic background, or socioeconomic background?
  • Explain the possible implications on our nation if everyone who is active encouraged others to become active too.
  • What other ways could you encourage physical activity in adults and children?

Read
the attached to this week 13 (FILES) “Containment.PDF” file as well as
other available sources and respond to the following questions:

Discussion Forum Topic for week 13: Name
and explain the logic behind some of the military conflicts that
followed in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Was the containment policy to
blame? This is not an opinion seeking question. This is a research-based
exploration. Keep this in mind.

The format for the forum:

The main post: a three to five-paragraphed narrative
introducing your idea or reaction, backed with evidence, and a
conclusion. A paragraph is understood to be composed of 5-8 sentences
with proper citations, references, and style/grammar. The main post is
always due on Thursday. Example

The secondary post(s): a free-flowing discussion engaging
others’ comments, with no length requirement yet academic in nature.
Evidence-based material only. If you select to introduce evidence – MLA
formatting for citations and bibliography is a must. No speculations and
don’t forget to cite (in text and at the end of your post). You may
start a discussion link through this forum. The secondary post (s) is
(are) due by Sunday night, and maybe be posted anytime during the
assigned week. They are usually brief and respond or comment to peers in
class.

You may choose to write in MLA, APA or Chicago for all our writing
assignments in this class (discussions and essays). MLA is the most
common and known to students. If you don’t know other writing styles and
formats – just stick to MLA.

Final Essay – you can use Marijuana legalization for this essay.

/in /by

For your final essay, you will choose some topic of social, political, or current event interest, and write a critical, argumentative essay defending a thesis on that topic. It may be a topic that is of personal interest to you, or it may be a topic that you’re exploring in another course. Note: submitting the same paper to two courses without permission violates GSU’s academic honor code. Please contact both instructors before submitting the same or similar paper twice.

By this point in the term, you have many, many tools at your disposal to construct a high quality, critical analysis of an argument by analogy. In addition to the many tools and techniques we’ve practiced throughout the term, I invite you to make good use of the “checklist for arguments by analogy” that we developed during Discussion Forum 6. Please carefully cite the checklist that you use, regardless of whether it was written by you, or another student.

Finally, please review the two additional documents, called “Second Essay Instructions” and “Second Essay Criteria”, before you begin. This assignment is due via turnitin.com. Please review the syllabus for assignment due.

please only use scholary references and below are the general rules of argument by stasis
