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 in the bibliography at end of the paper).
What are the causes pf cardiovascular disease?
Why is it a health concern?
What is the incidence of the disease/how many people are affected?
Is it preventable? If so, how?
What is the cost of the disease to the U.S.?
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 in the bibliography at the end of the paper).
What types of foods contribute to our risk? What foods help in the prevention of the disease?
Does physical activity help in prevention? If so, how?
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:
BMI assignment
How Healthy is Your Lifestyle? Survey
Fast food nutrition
Nutritional analysis
Food color chart assignment
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 1 person (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).
Reflect on this experience and include the following information:
Who did you invite to workout 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?

Livy’s History of Rome

One of the amazing things about the sheer duration of the ancient Roman civilization is that the ancient Roman historians themselves often had little idea about the foundation of their own city. In this reading response, you’re going to read part of Livy’s History of Rome, originally a 142 volume series on the history of Rome written during the time of Rome’s first emperor. As you read through the preface, I want you to think about Livy’s purpose in writing history. Why does he find history useful to study? Spend the first half of your response discussing this question. Then spend the second half of your response describing how Livy characterizes Romulus and how that characterization might suggest what it means to be a good and honorable person in ancient Roman society. You are expected to use the ancient source as evidence for your argument. You need to cite the ancient source at least three times using in-text, parenthetical citations. You also need to provide a full bibliographic reference for the ancient source at the end of your response. Cited references to the text can either be direct quotes or paraphrases from the text. For in-text parenthetical citations go with this format (Ancient Author, Text Title, Line # if available otherwise Page #).

V. Call for action—early childhood personnel need to understand the value of play and protect play in the curriculum because…

Sociology and Deviance What is deviance? Who gets to define deviance? What gives certain people the authority and/or power to define deviance? How do definitions of deviance differ from culture to culture, group to group, and time period to time period?

1) Thinking about the relativity of
deviance, address the following points: What is deviance? Who gets to define
deviance? What gives certain people the authority and/or power to define
deviance? How do definitions of deviance differ from culture to culture, group
to group, and time period to time period? Utilize the three major sociological
perspectives in crafting your response to these questions. (HINT: This essay
should rely heavily on clear, well-substantiated examples!)
