How Diet is link to Diabetes within African American population. Many current interventions for type 2 diabetes focus on biological and behavioral factors of African America while missing “food security” which affects their diet. The lack of access to healthy food leads to Diabetes. The problem isn’t that they’re getting too few calories, it’s that they’re getting too many of the wrong kind which contribute to or make it hard to properly manage chronic conditions such as diabetes.

Annotated Bibliography (25% of final grade):
Purpose of the Assignment: To learn about interventions that are currently published in the literature which address the public health issue in the minority population you are interested in. In addition, to critically think about whether the interventions are useful/suitable for your population and addressing the public health issue.
Assignment Instructions: Beyond just providing bibliographical information, an annotated bibliography applies a variety of skills necessary for understanding interventions in health promotion as reported in the literature. It calls for informed database research, concise summary of the source, succinct analysis/evaluation, and an understanding of the usefulness of the articles. Students are expected to include 6 peer-reviewed articles in their annotated bibliography in respect to the topic you selected and stated in Discussion #5. Please try to select articles that are no more than 10 years old. Provide a title page, a brief abstract, and a table of contents. Be sure to review the rubric below.
Begin by completing targeted searches of library databases (see http://libguides.fiu.edu/ or contact the FIU Health Sciences Librarian – Ramces Marsilli at rmarsill@fiu.edu should you require assistance). You may also find the “Tips and Tricks for Health Sciences Databases” helpful for those new to searching databases for articles: http://libguides.fiu.edu/databasetips.
Your annotated bibliography should be focused by selecting 6 peer-reviewed articles (less than 10 years old) which pertain to interventions related to addressing a public health issue/or concern among racial and ethnic minority populations (e.g., Hispanic/Latino, Black Americans, American Indians/Alaska Native, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, Arab Americans) which you selected in Discussion #5.
In general, the format of each annotated bibliography entry is as follows:
A) Bibliographical information in APA format
B) Summary of the peer-reviewed article [2-4 sentences]. This includes information from the article itself such as: 1) what underlying factor the intervention addressed (if any) to achieve the final goal of reducing/addressing your PH issue, 2) if the intervention ultimately succeeded in addressing your PH issue, and 3) other pertinent study details such as sample size, type of intervention etc.
C) Evaluation of the article [2-4 sentences]
D) Explanation of the article’s usefulness [2-4 sentences]. For part C & D, see if the researchers addressed/incorporated/thought about the unique cultural dimensions of the population they created the intervention for? Did they tailor an existing intervention for them, or did they create a new one, and what did they do/not do to understand the cultural aspects of the population? For these two sections, think about the concepts you have learnt so far in this class and comment on whether you think the intervention was appropriate/well designed etc. Why or why not? Comment on whether the study/intervention was useful to you and the literature base?
Remember, be succinct and get straight to the point when writing out your paragraphs as you only have a few sentences for each section.
Though I recommend that you begin your search by using our library databases, you may also find the following list of relevant health promotion and public health journals helpful. Keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list of refereed academic publications. However, many of your articles may come from one or more of these journals.

Citations MUST be in Bluebook format using footnotes. Short form citations are acceptable as long as the first citation is in full.

Week’s assigned reading introduced basic risk concepts and began with the fundamental question: what is risk? Carl Pritchard writes that “[a]lthough the terms risk and uncertainty are often used interchangeably, they are not the same.” Weber, however, in the assigned article, states that “the oft-echoed distinction between uncertainty and risk ceases to demarcate the frontier of risk management.” In your thread, provide a definition of risk and discuss the difference between risk and uncertainty. Then, discuss how risk managers use the basic risk concepts discussed in this week’s assigned reading to identify and categorize risk.

You will accomplish the following in the course.

1. Research two publicly traded companies and compare and contrast their methods of handling a significant change in their organizations. Analyze and write about images of change in those organizations in a Change Analysis Paper ‐ Images of Change (Milestone 1, include four references). This component is due in Week 3.
2. Determine the change in those companies and their barriers and resistors by creating a Determining the Change Paper (Milestone 2, include four references). This component is due in Week 5.
3. Analyze and create applications for a change project in communication, based on the change in one of your researched companies. This is the Communicating the Change Paper (Milestone 3, include two references). This component is due in Week 7.
4. Create the final written version of your project. The written component will simply be a combination of Milestones 1, 2, and 3, completely formatted using APA writing styles. You must ensure that your final written component includes a title page, table of contents, and a References Page (which will include the required 10 references from Milestones 1, 2, and 3). This component is due in Week 8.
Select your two companies that have undergone some type of fairly substantial change in the recent past. Find the company and the change information online using EBSCO or using another appropriate resource in the DeVry Library. Other ways to find information include utilizing Google, Yahoo Finance, or Reuters and looking up annual reports of companies that interest you. Often, reading the first sections of these reports (i.e., letters from CEOs) will give you ideas about changes they have gone through in the past year(s).
You will need to ensure the following.
a. Your companies are publicly traded so that their information will be easy to research and find.
b. Your change in the two companies are comparable (i.e., don’t compare a new CEO to a change in the human resources information system [HRIS]. Do compare two changes in chief information officer.
c. The changes happened in the recent past so that you will find sufficient online information about how they were handled, but not so recent that the information about the change results is still being researched and published.

The Change Analysis—Images of Change Paper (Milestone 1)
The Images section focuses on the six different images of managing change and how each approach to change affects all that follows in its implementation and continued support. Download the Project Images Grid from the Course Resources area. Select three of the images of change explained in the lesson from the grid. Then, analyze how those particular images would affect the ensuing diagnosis and implementation in your two selected companies on their change plans.
Here’s what to do.
1. Review the changes in each company and describe them thoroughly in a Word document. Explain how the change impacted the companies and who it impacted. Compare some of the similarities and differences between the change in the two companies.
2. Review your prepared grid, and select three images of change from your grid. Complete the empty blocks on the grid for those three images using outlines, bullet points, and rough ideas for both company’s change.
3. In a Word document, analyze, compare, and contrast the three images and explain how the behaviors of those images would be different or the same during your companies’ changes and how those differences could (or did) impact the success (or failure) of the change, comparing and contrasting the results at both companies.
4. Explain which image (or combination of images) you feel would have best facilitated the described change, and explain why.
5. Based on the information you read about the results of this change, state which image you think the leader of the change actually resembled the most. You may speculate on which image you feel best represents the change agent at either or both of the companies. This will depend on how much information you found about the internal workings of the company during the change.
This paper should focus on evidence that demonstrates how the management of the organization integrated one or more of the six images of managing change, how effective the change was, and what management could have done differently to increase the probability of successfully implementing the strategic change initiative. Again, this is a compare and contrast paper, so include information about both companies in your report.
At least four new references, properly cited, using APA formatting

Determining the Change (Milestone 2)
Select a diagnostic model that you can utilize to review aspects of change activities and actions that have been taken by the companies chosen. For this analysis, we are looking at the parts of the companies as well as their strategies, as surmised by your earlier research. It is acknowledged that this information will not be complete as you are looking at these companies as an outsider, but a thoroughly researched paper will give enough data to allow some well-defended assumptions on your part.
Here’s what to do.
1. Select one diagnostic model (i.e., 6-box, 7S, congruence, or one of the others) to apply to the two chosen companies. Choose the model that you feel best identifies and measures the relevant aspects of the organization’s performance.
2. Apply the data obtained in your research through an analysis of the appropriate chosen model. This will allow you to create a diagnosis of where each company is today (as per the criteria of the model).
3. Create a SWOT analysis for each of the two chosen companies’ change plans and programs, utilizing information obtained in the diagnosis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats).
4. Compare the two company analyses to each other and offer your perspective (value judgment) of the effectiveness of the changes made to date in each case.
5. Identify potential areas of resistance that may occur and at least one strategy to respond to each. (This will most likely come from your weaknesses and threats section of your SWOT. If not, take another look at your SWOT.)
6. Make recommendations for further actions within the organizations and the rationale chosen for these recommendations.
7. Write the paper, including each of the above sections and analyses.
At least four new references, properly cited, using APA formatting

Communicating the Change (Milestone 3)
An important part of any change project is how the change is communicated to the organization, to the change agents, to the line workers, to the customers, and to the public. Along with media relations issues, communicating change (especially in a publicly traded company) can involve multiple legal and regulatory aspects as well as personnel and management concerns. Perhaps the single most difficult piece of handling Kotter’s “establish a sense of urgency” is that too many inexperienced or immature change agents read this to mean “panic the troops.” Never do this.
This project piece will have three parts.
1. The main part of this project component will ask you to pick one of the company’s change plans and develop a communication plan for the company. This plan should be submitted by using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and setting out the stakeholders, the timeline of the communication plan, the method of communication, the rationale for why you chose this method of communication, the purpose of the communication, and identifying who will do the communicating. The grid for this project can be found in the Files section of the Course Menu and is titled Grid for Week 6—Communication Plan.
2. Select one of the communication pieces that you would have used that is listed in your communication plan, and write the communication in a Word document (either the text or the script, if the communication would have been oral). Be sure to review the Week 6 information and the examples of communication plans and types for more assistance on this piece of the project. If you use any form of communication from templates you find online or in a textbook, be sure to cite your source. Your instructor will grade this based on how well it relates to the audience and stakeholder group to which it is intended.
3. The real-world aspect of this project is that you will write a one- to two-page analysis of one of the media pieces about one of the company’s changes written (or provided via oral media) by the company. For this section of the project, please analyze any media, news, or other communications that explained the change going on in the organization. Explain in your paper how the company handled communicating the change to its stakeholders.
At least two new references, properly cited, using APA formatting
The written component will simply be a combination of Milestones 1, 2, and 3, completely formatted using APA writing styles. This final written document must be uploaded in the Week 8 Final Written Assignment area. You must ensure that your final written component includes a title page, table of contents, and a References Page (which will include the required 10 references from Milestones 1, 2, and 3). Keep in mind, you will be simply compiling all three milestones and creating a final APA style document for final submission. Also, adhere to the following points, as you finalize this document.
A. Use of at least 10 references.
B. Remember the title page.
C. Remember in-text citations.
D. Remember the table of contents.

Overview of The Stranger Essay Prompt in this video

ESSAY OUTLINE SAMPLE:
Below is a sample working outline for how to address the essay prompt:
In a four page MLA Style essay, using specific scenes from The Stranger, explain how logic and absurdity are at odds with each other.
Working Thesis: In The Stranger the ideals of love and law are at odds with the reality of truth.
B1: Love for Mother: one is supposed to love and cry when one’s mother dies because society tells one that you are supposed to always feel like a baby when it comes to your mother, yet the reality is that everyone dies. For Mersault he simply sees that crying would serve no purpose and it would not deal with the reality of death. This does not mean he does not love his mother. It just means he will not submit to the system’s tears.
B2: Love for Marie: Love is supposed to be the supreme feeling that gives meaning to your life and to the universe. Marie asks Mersault whether she loves him. He replies no, and also says on other occasions that love doesn’t mean anything. For Marie she imagines that love means marriage and family, children as well. Mersault does not accept this. It does not mean he is heartless, but it means that he will not submit to the logic that love equals eternity. He knows he has but one life and does not want to waste the present moment on an insane idea like forever or happily ever after–which is totally illogical.
B3: Law: Pre-trial: The magistrate and prosecuting attorney want to punish Mersault, not necessarily because he killed an Arab, but they want to punish him because he does not believe in God and they do not understand him, so they impute evil upon him. The law is supposed to be focused only on the case at hand, but note here, they are attacking him personally. The media is also supposed to care about truth, but they admit that the only reason that they are interested in his case is because it is a “slow” time for news, so they are going to make-believe they care about justice, but they actually only care about ratings.
B4: Law: Chance: The law is supposed to be logical. In fact it prides itself on being super logical and just. During the trial both Celeste and Raymond advanced the notion that the only reason that Mersault killed the Arab was because of chance/bad luck. Note he had not intended to kill anyone, nor did he even have a gun until he did a good deed to help out Raymond. The law, however, cannot accept chance as a rationale for why things happen in the universe. The law is so arrogant it believes that everything has a reason or cause and effect. If things did not have a logical order, the law believes that there would be no control in society.
B5: Law: Evil: The law is supposed to be objective, and it creates what it regards is objective human thinking. To them Mersault cannot have killed a man simply because of chance because chance is not intelligent; chance is stupid, and human beings supposedly are not stupid; therefore, Mersault did it for a reason. Mersault tells them his truth–that the sun made him do it. The entire courtroom laughs at him. Humans are too smart and powerful for the stupid sun to make them do anything. Note how absurd and illogical this logic is, for without the sun we could not survive for one second, yet human beings actually believe their minds are more powerful than the sun, which is at least billions of years old. Since the law cannot accept Mersault’s ideas and what he stands for, they impute evil upon him. The law actually believes that Mersault has little goblin devils running through him, so he must be killed, executed. The jury agrees. Mersault is to have his head chopped off for totally illogical legal reasons.

Examine a series of legal steps related to the USMCA (the new name for NAFTA) and the developments regarding maquiladoras in Matamoros Mexico.
Find at least two additional resources besides the information included – one for the USMCA/NAFTA discussion and one providing additional material on the ethical approach you decide to use in Item #4.
Read over the material in the attached PDF and your chapter. Then analyze the information and write a response:
Describe the steps taken with regard to the maquiladoras issue under the USMCA/NAFTA rules over the past two years as explored in the news and government updates provided. What are the relevant USMCA/NAFTA provisions that are involved? What legal proceedings have been initiated and what actions have been taken by the U.S. and Mexican governments? What is the most recent action and its results with regard to clarifying labor issues within the terms of the USMCA/NAFTA agreement? You may want to create a timeline or summary chart but include a description as well.
What is your opinion of regional trade agreements and whether USMCA/NAFTA, in particular, is helping or hurting global trade? What data/information supports your view?
How does this ongoing situation reflect what you have also learned from the Chapter and our text overall? Connect to at least two specific ideas discussed in the chapter (up to page 392 and identify the page and section they are from.)
Finally, consider the ethical implications of the issue in light of the situation as described below and the ethical positions summarized in the information.
