The topic is “Poverty and/or health disparities in African Americans populations in New York.”

Create two to three PowerPoint slides that provide a solid assessment
of the health issue that you intend to tackle throughout this
course. The Assessment must include epidemiological methods and the
following items:

• Descriptive information on the target population (age, gender, culture, ethnicity, etc.) and location (city, town, state, etc.)
• Identification, through assessment, means of the health issue or problem and how it has affected the target
• population.  Information on impact could come from mortality and
  morbidity reports, academic research, etc. Avoid using online sources
  such as WebMD. Government sources are fine, but the databases within the
  Ashford University Library are the best resources for journal articles
  that provide data on health impact.
• Risk factors as outlined by epidemiological means (e.g., social
  and behavioral determinants within the community or among the population
  that contributes to or ameliorates this problem)
• Other demographic information outlined by epidemiological assessment measures
• An explanation of how the two essential services that revolve
  around assessment are applied to this health problem.  These services:
  Monitor Health and Diagnose and Investigate, ensure that a community’s
  health assessment is accurate.

Components of the Assignment

• Two to three PowerPoint slides (excluding title and reference
  slides) that provide information on the selected
  topic and a brief background of the issue. 
• A topic that focuses on a public health issue or problem within a
  community, city, state, or county.  Your topic should come from the
  list in the Team Assignment instructions.  
• A clear and concise thesis/problem statement that is supported
  with academic research and epidemiological evidence (surveillance,
  census information, etc.)
• References on a final slide.

Your first deliverable is just an
introduction to your topic that includes multiple items, including a
description of your topic and the population you are assessing. You must
provide epidemiological assessment information that proves this is an
issue. For example, if you are attacking smoking among infants, you are
likely not going to find any information…however, you may be able to
find how second-hand smoke affects infants. Make sure you clearly
identify your health issue, the population it affects, and explain how
assessment is applied to this health problem. Review the 10 essential
services of public health.

Again my topic is Poverty and health disparities in African Americans population in New York.

Purpose of Assignment

This week’s activity illustrates the role a company’s accounting method plays in financial statement reporting. In this assignment, students evaluate the events occuring in a business setting and determine how to properly analyze those events to identify the impact on both cash and accrual accounting methods.

Assignment Steps

Resources: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

Tutorial help on Excel^® and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft^® Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products.

Scenario: BizCon, a consulting firm, has just completed its first year of operations. The company’s sales growth was explosive. To encourage clients to hire its services, BizCon offered 180-day financing – meaning its largest customers do not pay for nearly 6 months. Because BizCon is a new company, its equipment suppliers insist on being paid cash on delivery. Also, it had to pay up front for 2 years of insurance. At the end of the year, BizCon owed employees for one full month of salaries, but due to a cash shortfall, it promised to pay them the first week of next year.

As the senior accountant, the Chief Financial Officer has asked you to prepare a memo to be sent to management notifying them of the delayed wage payments.

Prepare the memo in a maximum 700 words including the following information to better outline the situation:

• Explain how cash and accrual accounting differs for each of the events listed in the above scenario and describe the proper accrual accounting.
• Assess how at the end of the year, BizCon reported a favorable net income, yet the company’s management is concerned because the company is very short of cash. Explain to management how BizCon could have positive net income and yet run out of cash.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.

Writing Guide for Philosophy

Part 1:General Advice

Pattern for Each Exam Problem

• You are comparing at least two philosophers.
• two philosophers: Anselm The Ontological Argument – Aquinas The Existence of God
• You will explain a concept or argument from each philosopher.
  • You should dedicate at least one full paragraph to each text.
  • You should have at least one quote to support your discussion of each text.
• You should conclude each of your essays with an overall judgment.
  • You should dedicate at least one full paragraph to your judgment.
  • Was one of the arguments stronger than the other? Were both weak?
  • Make sure you explain your judgment. It should connect back to the rest of your essay: judge a concept or argument that you have already explained in the main part of your essay.

Your Audience

• Assume that your reader is familiar with the philosophers you are writing on. Do not provide general biographical details on the philosophers, such as birth date or how awesome they were. Your reader will presume that you are merely wasting space instead of examining an argument.
• DO NOT ASSUME your reader understands a quoted passage the same way that you do.
• Also, do not assume that your reader shares your beliefs, aside from the most obvious and boring facts (things like, the earth is the third planet from our sun).

Your exam SHOULD NOT …

• look like you just typed up your notes;
• look like you typed it in one sitting;
• look like you have slapped two summaries from SparkNotes next to each other.

Can I use the word “I” in my writing?

• Yes. It’s okay to express yourself from a first-personal perspective.
• But be sure to express your considered/informed judgments rather than merely your opinions.
• In other words, give reasons to support your beliefs rather than just sharing your beliefs as merely personal preferences.

Re-read what you write!

• Think of how another person might question what you have written. You are doing philosophy when you add this additional layer of thought/reflection.
• For example, if you wrote something like: “Some people might disagree with this claim because [… ]. But I think this concern is wrong. Here’s why: […].”
• Effective use of quotes creates at least two voices within your essay. Effective reflection/questioning of what you have written adds a third voice.

The Big Picture

• Remember: The overall goal of a philosophy essay is to present a persuasive argument to your audience.
• As you write your essays, don’t forget:
  • why the topic matters,
  • who you are talking to, and
  • what you’re trying to convince your audience to believe.

Part 2: The Process of Writing

How NOT to begin

• Do not wait until you know exactly what you want to write and in what order you want to write it.
• Do not continually delete what you have written because it is not perfect. For example, wait to correct most grammar and punctuation issues until the final editing process. In the beginning of your essay, focus on developing the ideas rather than having everything exactly right.

How to begin

• It might be helpful if you formulate your overall judgment on the topic. This is helpful when it focuses your attention on specific parts of the readings. Just remember that you are not married to the judgment: you can change your mind in the process of writing your essay.

• If you are uncertain about your overall judgment of the topic, then start with #1.
• Writing is a messy process. Having a document of quotes and your explanation of the quotes allows you to re-arrange the ideas as you develop your essay.

• Find an important passage from each philosopher for each of the listed questions.
• Re-type those passages into a document.
  • Keep the passages separate from each other. Focus on their individual meaning.
• Explain each of the passages in your own words.
• Explain how the passages relate to each other.

Working with quoted passages

• Main goal: Show that you have some in-depth understanding of the reading. To do this, you don’t have to summarize the entire reading. Pick parts that are the most interesting or problematic to you.
• Save the explanation of a quote until after you have presented the quote.
• Make your explanation of the quote at least as long as the quote itself.
  • If you don’t have much to say about a quote, then the quote probably isn’t important. … So find an important quote.
  • Or use ellipses (…) to shorten a long passage.

• Use the page numbers of our course readings.

Organize your thoughts

• Use paragraphs!
• Short paragraph. Write your introduction after you have drafted your essay.
• The introduction should only give enough detail to prepare the reader for the rest of the essay. Don’t try to summarize every aspect of the essay.
• Give your reader a sense of your overall judgment/evaluation.
  • Is there a philosopher that you are strongly disagreeing with? Or maybe strongly agreeing with?
  • In the introductory paragraph, do not try to justify your argument—that’s what the rest of the paper is for.

Good Intro

• Short paragraph. Write your introduction after you have drafted your essay.
• The introduction should only give enough detail to prepare the reader for the rest of the essay. Don’t try to summarize every aspect of the essay.
• Give your reader a sense of your overall judgment/evaluation.
  • Is there a philosopher that you are strongly disagreeing with? Or maybe strongly agreeing with?
  • In the introductory paragraph, do not try to justify your argument—that’s what the rest of the paper is for.

Statistical Analysis Presentation
Present a PowerPoint slide presentation or a written report (you do not have to do both) depicting your analysis of historical juvenile crime data for a specific category of crime, or criminal issue. As an alternative to PowerPoint, you can use one of the presentation applications listed here, or one approved by your instructor: MoveNote, VoiceThread, Prezi, or Google Present. Select one component of the criminal justice system (e.g., law enforcement, courts, or corrections) to focus your research. The data and charts you develop may be used in your Final Paper. For this Week Two Assignment, you will:
1. Present national juvenile data and trends based on the FBI – Uniform Crime Reports (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and the Bureau of Justice Statistics – Crime Type (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., or other comparable nationally recognized data bases, such as the U.S. Department of Education data on campus crime. Make sure you standardize your data – usually 1:1000; 1:10,000; or 1: 100,000 and incorporate the scale in a key for each chart.
2. Present local data from a city, county, or state for three comparable locations in size from three different regions of the country (e.g., Indianapolis, Austin, and San Francisco). This information should be found on official government websites.
3. Obtain data on at least three demographics such as: crime, education levels, gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, education, or socio-economic data where available.
4. Develop questions you would like to address based on the data you retrieved? (Note you do not have to answer these questions for this assignment.) What juvenile delinquency programs or initiatives are available to potentially address the crime or criminal justice issue?
PowerPoint Presentation must be 10 slides and graphically display the statistical data developed for three comparable cities, counties, or states. Your presentation must incorporate national statistics for comparison. Your assessment may be in bullet or paragraph format and will be provided in the notes section of the presentation.
The Written Report must be five pages and graphically display the statistical data developed for three comparable cities, counties, or states. It must incorporate national statistics for comparison. Your assessment may be in bullet or paragraph format below the graphic display.
Your paper or presentation must include a cover slide/title page and reference slide/reference page in APA format. You must use at least three scholarly resources from the Ashford University Library, other than the textbook, to support your claims. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
