Corporations tend to be international so corporate social responsibility must transcend many cultures. Though corporations globally produce different goods and services, they share the commonality of the human component. Some organizations such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Organization of Economic Development and Cooperation (OEDC), and the United Nations (UN) have developed basic standards of human rights which they believe should be universal to all human workers. Discuss some of these basic standards. Do you believe they are sufficient, too robust, or too weak? Please explain why.

Survey of humanity
As you know from your reading this week, people often make art for a purpose. Both of the above images depict a sacred site. The first image is the Sistine chapel at the Vatican. This is a holy space for mass in the Catholic tradition. The second image is King Tut’s tomb. Ancient Egyptians placed a great importance on the afterlife, and the tomb of a great leader reflects this. Choose one of the images and make a judgement about it.
In your analysis, consider:
What is the purpose of this art?
For more information about purpose consult pages 9-11 of your text or click here.
What is the function you believe it serves?
For more information about function, consult pages 11-13 of your text or click here.
What kind of artisanship do you observe? Is the work well made? Does it hold your interest?
Can you tell what the artist is trying to say? Does he/she succeed? Was the art worth the effort?
For more information about artisanship and communication, consult pages 25-26 of your text or click here.

Constipation
75yo Jeff James reports back pain
Diagnoses – constipation
Identify one additional unique health history or subjective symptom as well as one objective exam finding.
Provide scholarly support to discuss the physical assessment technique
used to identify the objective finding. Compare and contrast
characteristics of normal and abnormal findings.
Identify one of the religions covered in this course that emphasizes behavior/deeds over adherence to creeds/beliefs/spiritual experiences in our current era. Then, compare it to another religion that you interpret as emphasizing the opposite, i.e., creeds/beliefs/spiritual experiences over behavior/deeds. Explain the reasons for such possible differences in emphases by exploring underlying sociological and historical themes. What were major world events or cultural developments that may have led each of these religions to emphasize each of these particular aspects over the other?
Instructions for Students
Length: 1500-2000 words, in addition to a bibliography/works cited page
Formatting: Double –spaced, 12-pt font, Arial or Times New Roman Font
Bibliography: a minimum of 3 academic sources; preferably peer-reviewed publications and books. One of these must be a book reference. These academic sources are in addition to your textbook/weekly readings/lectures. Do not use Wikipedia as an Internet source.
The textbook and required readings will not have enough information about any of the topic questions above to formulate substantial responses. To succeed in this assignment, set aside sufficient time to research the chosen topic thoroughly.
Paper Topics
Construct an argument to answer ONE of the following three questions:
1. Identify one of the religions covered in this course that emphasizes behavior/deeds over adherence to creeds/beliefs/spiritual experiences in our current era. Then, compare it to another religion that you interpret as emphasizing the opposite, i.e., creeds/beliefs/spiritual experiences over behavior/deeds. Explain the reasons for such possible differences in emphases by exploring underlying sociological and historical themes. What were major world events or cultural developments that may have led each of these religions to emphasize each of these particular aspects over the other?
2. Although Buddhism and Hinduism share similar beliefs, their approaches to the self, or the ‘soul’ are very different. Explain the metaphysical and practical distinctions between anatman and atman, and how these concepts tie into each religion’s unique approach to the sacred (god/gods) and the path to salvation. Make sure you specify which branches of Buddhism and Hinduism your analysis is tackling.
3. What is the meaning of the word Jihad in Islam? Select two distinct sects of Islam and explain key differences/similarities in the interpretation and practices of this term. What role, if any, does Jihad serve in the sects you have selected, in today’s world? How has this role changed from previous historical time periods and/or how has it remained the same?

Nutrition Research Paper on Celiac Disease
Purpose: Successful completion of this assignment provides evidence of competency in two learning domains: examining/interpreting (GEC 6) and evaluating/critically analyzing (GEC3) scientific material that is relevant to this course.
Format: Your paper is to be divided into the following sections:
Introduction – Provide an overview of the condition, including relevant statistics and evidence. For example, how many persons are affected? How many new cases are there each year? Which factors put persons at risk? What is the global impact? Is the incidence of this disorder increasing or decreasing?
Analysis – Most of your information will be presented in this section. You are expected to be thorough yet concise, and to provide evidence of critical analysis. For example, when you explain a disease or condition, include information that describes what is happening at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels, using your own words. Avoid using quotations as substitutes for material that you do not understand. Do not make statements that are common knowledge. For example, Kwashiorkor is a type of severe protein-energy malnutrition. A suggested solution, such as “eat more protein” is simplistic, obvious, and below the standards that are expected for this assignment. Be sure to include the following:
A thorough explanation of the condition, including causes, signs, symptoms, and complications. Is it linked to other disorders?
Treatment and prevention. Provide evidence and perhaps some case studies, and be current!
Dietary recommendations: This requires critical evaluation of scientific evidence and objectivity. Avoid making claims that have little or no credible evidence to support them, and be careful not to confuse a recommendation with a “cure”. Also, do not confuse the deficiency of a given nutrient as the “cause” of a disorder unless you can provide scientific proof.
The research paper should be written in the APA style, between 4-6 pages long, double-spaced, not inclusive of the title page and reference page. Use Times New Roman 12pt font. For help with the APA style, utilize Academic Writer.
Alcoholism/Addiction Essay
APA Alcoholism/Addiction Paper Instructions watch the video below (link below).
1. You can use this website to find some information:
http://libguides.tjc.edu/psychology
2. Pick 3 countries from the following list for the alcoholism/addiction statistics as well as any other accompanying facts that might be related. The countries to choose from are: United States, Canada, Japan, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Italy Nigeria, Ethiopia, Cuba, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Poland, Turkey.
Write a 2 page essay about why there are differences in the prevalence of alcoholism or drug addiction (you may choose either one) and support your answer using the resources you’ve found either from the library sources or on one of your searches. You can and should use the textbook as one source, and are required to have a total of five references (sources) for your paper. This means that five references will be on your reference page, and that those five references will be listed in the text of you paper as well. All sources must either be an academic book or an article published in an academic journal.
Some other issues that need to be discussed are what differences are between developed and undeveloped countries (use percentages), what factors contribute to some countries having a higher prevalence than others. Please also research what the educational levels are in these countries, what religious views, what awareness programs are present and what attitudes are concerning this problem.
For your conclusion, you are to imagine yourself as a healthcare administrator or counselor and come up with ideas and initiatives as to how to effectively treat the problem of addiction.
3. From that data, you will need to create two bar charts. The first should compare the total populations of the three countries you chose. The second should compare the alcoholism rates. In the chart comparing alcoholism rates, you MUST use percentages so you are comparing to apples to apples. If you don’t find data already in percentages, computing a percentage is fairly straightforward: Number of alcoholics in the country, divided by the total number of people, multiplied by 100.
Please use ONLY percentages in your charts!
4. Make sure you double space the paper, use 1 inch margins, and a 12 point font. Do NOT triple space between paragraphs or under the heading on the first page. Also put your name, this class title, and the date single spaced in the top left corner.
Use spell check and grammar check or use the Pearson Writing software to check your paper before turning it in. You can also go to the Writing Center on the 2nd floor of the library to have them check over your paper.
5. Do NOT copy and paste in this paper. Use your own words. If you want to quote a small portion, you may do so, but be sure to reference this on the Reference page.
6. The final page should be a Reference page. The Reference page should have it’s own page and should have the word, References, centered at the top of the page.
7. Total assignment should be 5 pages: cover page, 2 pages of content, reference page, and your bar charts page.
How to create a Bar Chart–
How to Do a Bar Chart: You MUST have Microsoft Word (if you do not, then go to a TJC computer that does). Create a NEW document, then click on “Insert” –3rd tab from the left–Then click on “Chart”–it will give you several options–click on “Bar” and just use the first one on the left. You will then load in your variables (on the left side of the excel spreadsheet) and the numbers that go with each variable. Name your bar chart at the top.
You may also use Excel or Google Sheets to create your Bar Chart.
Read the classic article, On the folly of rewarding A, while hoping for B. and answer the discussion questions
Discussion Questions
1. Based on the scenarios described in the article, describe a situation that you have experienced either in the classroom as a student or on the job. For example, have you seen unintended effects of rewards at work or in the classroom or rewards based on criteria unrelated to performance?
2. How is your example similar to those discussed in the article? What could have been done in your situation to ensure the right behavior was being rewarded? If you have no experience upon which to respond to this posting, use one of the examples from the article and discuss how it could be handled differently.
