Please answer every section and Question in great detail!!!!!


Proprioception (5 points)

 To demonstrate the use of proprioception, close your eyes and hold your arms out to the side, forming a “T.” Now touch your nose with the index finger of your dominant hand. Repeat with your nondominant hand. Speculate as to why this exercise is sometimes used to test drivers suspected of drinking?

 Again, close your eyes. Raise your leg so that your thigh is parallel to the floor. Open your eyes and check your leg’s position. Repeat the exercise, bringing your arm in a position parallel to the floor. How accurate was your positioning? How did you accomplish this activity in the absence of vision? Explain.

Knee Jerk Reflex (5 points)

 You will need a partner. Have your partner sit on a chair and cross his or her legs so that the lower knee fits into the hollow at the back of the upper knee. Now, using the edge of your open hand, firmly tap the soft part just below your partner’s kneecap. You may have to try a couple of times to find the spot that initiates the reflex. Switch places with your partner.

 Repeat the activity, but this time the sitting person should try to voluntarily prevent the reflex from occurring. Can you do it?

 How might this explain inappropriate or unplanned movements in some sport settings? Give examples.

Chapter Review Questions (20 points)

TASK: WRITE A SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE (Minimum 50 words) TO THE 2 DISCUSSION POSTS THAT MY CLASSMATES SUBMITTED.

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION:

    Obtaining health care under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) could cost smokers as much as 50% more than non-smokers (with all other factors being equal). Is this fair? Many say it is more than fair. Consider the fact that smoking kills 443,000 Americans each year at an annual cost to the nation of $193 billion in medical care and lost productivity. Smokers are much more likely to get sick, miss work due to illness, and incur costly medical treatment.

    We have an incredible amount of statistics and probabilities related to illness, hospitalization, and the associated costs that justify the ACA smoker rates. But in charging smokers more for their healthcare, have we just jumped on a very slippery slope? What if the government decided that ice cream eaters who indulge in a bowl of Chocolate Cherry Nut Fiesta each night should be charged more for insurance? What if every time you bought a half-gallon (or a 5-quart tub) of ice cream your purchase was entered into a database and your ice cream consumption was counted? 

    • Would you be upset if your insurance rates increased due to “overconsumption of unhealthy substances?”
    • What sort of statistics or probabilities would you need to see to convince you that this “unhealthy substance bump” in insurance rates was justified?

    Do insurance companies have any business making rate determinations based on statistics that accurately describe personal choices?

Post #1:

“Personally, I would not be upset with a rate increase for unhealhty eating/and or overconsumption.   Obesity is at epidemic rates right now and if we can curb people or have them literally put their money where their mouth is I dont see this as a problem.  According to the CDC, currently 34.9% of American adults are obese – which then translates into medical issues, social issues and poor production by society as a whole (Centers for Disease Control 2016).   When one third of our country is obese, we ALL end up paying for it whether it be through insurance hikes or otherwise.

 This brought to mind the recent soda tax in Phildelphia and the pending soda tax in Oakland and Boulder.  The revenue gained will be used to fund educational programs.  This sounds like a win-win to me.”

Post #2:

“Most insurance companies, even prior to the ACA had rate hikes for smokers. However, because most smokers are aware of this rate hike, they often go out of their way to lie on their insurance applications. I think that the rate hike is a justified one with the research that has been done. However, I think that there needs to be a way to validate and define a “smoker.”

Also, I think that if there are higher rates for smokers, there should also be higher rates for obese individuals, drinkers, etc. and lower rates offered to those who go out of their way to live a healthy lifestyle. It does not make sense that they would single out smokers specifically. The number one most deadly disease in the US is heart disease, which is often a side effect of obesity, so in my opinion, a rate hike on obese patients would be justified as well. The fact that these things lead to a higher probability of disease, cancer, hospitalizations, etc. should be enough to justify the increase. Just as your car insurance rates are higher when you are younger because there is a higher probability of people under 25 getting into accidents. “

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, business and finance assignment help

/in /by

 In 2005, a former executive at Wal-Mart in Mexico sent an e-mail to a senior Wal-Mart lawyer in the US indicating that bribery was undertaken in Mexico by Wal-Mart to obtain permits to build stores (Barstow, 2012). The former executive provided names, dates, and amount of bribes paid. An internal investigation of these claims found evidence of widespread bribery involving US$24 million. Wal-Mart executives in the US knew about the bribes and undertook steps to hide them. Wal-Mart executives in the US then apparently stopped the investigation. One might also now ask whether Wal-Mart acted similarly in other countries in which they recently entered and are growing (e.g., China). Wal-Mart lost US$10 billion on Monday, April 23 following the announcement of a bribery investigation into its Mexican operations (Burke, R. J., & Fox, S. (2016).  If true, these bribery practices would violate the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and create lengthy problems for Wal-Mart. A short time later, Wal-Mart lawyers included Brazil, China, India and South Africa, in addition to Mexico, in their investigation of potential bribery by Wal-Mart (Burke, R. J., & Fox, S. (2016).
