Infectious vs. Chronic Diseases

/in /by

Part I:

  • Describe which currently has the largest impact on the nation’s health: infectious diseases or chronic diseases?
  • Explain your response using epidemiological measures and supportive evidence from academic research. 

Part II:

  • Analyze how public health upholds individual rights while
    protecting societal rights through prevention strategies of both types
    of diseases (e.g., adding fluoride to the water to reduce dental
    carries).
  • Discuss the ethical issues associated with the role of public
    health in protecting societal rights as well as individual rights.

Utilize at least two scholarly sources (one could be the textbook) to support your points.

Guided Response: Imagine that you are an individual who
feels your rights are being violated because of a public health
initiative (e.g., helmet use, water fluoridation, seatbelt laws, etc.).
Respond to at least two of your classmates by posting an argument in
response to their analysis of how public health initiatives uphold
individual rights while protecting societal rights.  In that response,
explain how public health might be viewed as infringing on your personal
rights.  Support your argument with at least two scholarly sources (one
may be the textbook).

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your discussion.

Weekly Assignment , English homework help

/in /by

For this
assignment please generate a comparison between the 2015 and the 2016
State of the Union addresses by President Obama. Prepare a 1 page write
up outlining the high level differences (or similarities) between the
two speeches. Did the tone of address change (more or less positive),
did the sentence structure change (# words per sentence, grade level of
language used, action verbs to passive verbs, etc).

I am
interested in your actual analysis of the difference between the two
speeches and how you apply your own critical thinking skills the the
assignment. While the NLTK package is an obvious choice for doing this
type of analysis you are free to choose another tool if you so choose.
You must submit not only the 1 page write up but also the code your
wrote to generate the output used in your analysis. For example, you
could use NLTK to generate the raw output and then use R to create
graphs and conduct your analysis. Alternatively you could use RStudio
and text mining libraries to do the same basic work, I leave the choice
up to you.

    When you publish a site on the Web, it can be viewed by people in many different countries. Write a 

    2–3 page research paper and be sure to cover the following two discussions related to globalizing a 

    website: 

    1. (Required) Many websites today offer versions in different languages, and sites such as 

    Google, Bing®, Babel Fish™ and others can translate your Website text from English into a 

    different language. Try one or more of these services on at least one of your Web pages. 

    What problems can arise from using one of these direct translation services? When and why 

    would you need to use the services of a professional translator to help prepare your website 

    for an audience in another country? State three reasons 

    2. (Required) Large international companies often provide different versions of their website 

    tailored for specific countries. Choose one of these companies and view at least two versions 

    of their website tailored for countries other than the United States. What differences did you 

    find between the site versions? Why were these specific changes made for the different 

    countries at whom the sites were directed? Is there anything else you would consider 

    changing to make any of these sites more effective for its audience country? List two changes. 

    3. Colors and symbols have different meanings in different cultures. Images which are 

    acceptable and effective in one culture may be ineffective or even offensive in another. What

    She Prefers

    /in /by

    You are Ms. Jones, a worker for a youth center. Your coworker is very controlling and bossy. She prefers to be the person responsible for planning the youth activities and decides which activities to utilize. She rarely listens to your ideas and seems to think that her ideas are the best. She’s worked for the agency four months longer than you have and considers herself to have significant seniority. One day you become frustrated with your controlling coworker and refuse to go along with her proposal and plans. You confront her about her controlling behavior.

    Your coworker meets with your supervisor and says, “Ms. Jones is a very difficult person to work with. She’s not a team player and has a bad temper. Do you think that you could tell her to start acting more professionally?” Your supervisor calls you into her office.

    The Iliad Discussion

    Please write at least 300 words (in total for three discussions), and Reference in the end.

    Book: Volume A of the Norton Anthology of World Literature

    1. The Invocation/Proem and the Identity of Homer

    Review the biographical information about Homer and the background on his two great epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, both dating from 8th Century BCE Greece (which was not yet Greece, but a variety of city states with diverse governments that shared a common language – Ancient Greek – and a common cultural heritage – the Hellenic culture). Then look at the opening stanza of Book I of the Iliad, commonly called “the Invocation” or the “Proem.”

    Who, or what, is being invoked here? Does this invocation remind you in any way of other ancient texts you might be familiar with, i.e. other epic poems or the Bible?

    Who was Homer, and what is known about him? Why do we think of him as being the “author” of the Homeric poems, when, as with, for example, the epic of Gilgamesh or the Old Testament, much of the source material – the various myths and stories – were a preexisting part of the oral culture, in this case the 8th century BCE Hellenic world? In what way was Homer an author? How is his work in the production of the Iliad and the Odyssey different from that of the unnamed compositor(s) of Genesis, for example? How can thinking about Homer and his invocation help us to understand what it might mean, in western culture, to be an author?

    As usual, use these questions to develop an idea for discussion. You need not answer all of them, of course; they’re just to prompt your response to the text. You may want to use a quote or two from the Iliad (or one of the other works) to support your ideas.

    2.Cause and Effect Storytelling in the Iliad

    Review all the compressed events relayed in Book I, and look at the “General Questions” handout (available under the “Course Materials” tab) under “Exposition and Setting.” What kind of background information is given in Book I that sets the story in motion? What would happen to the story if one of the chain of events were removed from the story? What role does the idea of cause and effect play in the narrative, and how might that presentation of a fictional world influence contemporaneous (that is, Homer’s 8th Century Hellenic audience) “readers” (really, Homer’s audience would have listened to a recitation of the poem, in song form, as most of the audience would not have been literate)? In other worlds, what kind of a world is Homer introducing in the Iliad? How is that world different in its nature from the worlds presented by other ancient epics?

    As usual, you should use these questions to develop an idea for a response, and use one or more brief quotations as you develop your discussion.

    3.The Ancient Greek Gods

    Thinking about the Iliad, what is the role of the gods in the story? What kind of forces do they represent? And what kind of relationship do they suggest between mankind and the divine? What agency (that is, what power to control or shape events) do people have? What agency to the gods have? What is the ultimate power? Does Homer give his audience any help as they struggle to understand their place in the universe? In other words, if you were looking for answers to the big questions about the meaning of life, what conclusions might you draw from the cosmology presented by Homer in the Iliad?

    You may want to review some important passages that include the gods (the invocation; Apollo’s plague, in Book I; Achilles prayer to his mother, Thetis, a demigod; the drama between Thetis and Zeus and Hera; the role of Zeus as father of Sarpedon; the creation of the shield of Achilles by Hepheastus; any of Athena’s many interventions in the war) and ask yourself how we are supposed to understand the dynamic role of these gods in the story? Are they metaphorical interventions? You may also want to compare these gods as they are presented by Homer and by his contemporary Hesiod.

    As usual, use these questions to come up with an idea to write about and use a quote or two in your discussion.
