Introduction
As the text points out, causal reasoning is used in clinical studies. As a professional in the health field, you will undoubtedly be referring to cause/effect studies for the rest of your professional life. In this discussion, you are asked to expand and deepen your understanding of clinical studies.
In 1999, a study on the causes of myopia appeared in the prestigious journal Nature (Quinn). The study received wide-spread publicity in leading newspapers, such as the New York Times, and on television outlets, such as CBS and CNN. Within a year, another article in Nature followed up the 1999 study (Zadnik et al., 2000). The studies had dramatically different findings.
Initial Post Using what you have learned from the text, as well as any other sources you may find useful (including the website in the Required Resources), analyze and evaluate the methodology of both studies and how methodology affected the differences in how the studies were reported.
Reportage of both studies can be found with an Internet search using all of the following terms: .
Writing Requirements
Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)
APA format for in-text citations and list of references

Respond to the following discussion prompt:
Write your one-sentence research question (the question should not be answerable with a simple “yes” or “no.” Instead, you want to begin your question with words like “how,” “what,” “why,” “to what extent,” etc.), and then in 200 words, discuss the controversy you’d like to explore over the course of the semester. Explain why you are interested in that particular issue.
Controversy: Gun Control

Responding to peers:
Then, respond to each of the below paragraphs separately by answering the following questions in each response: (
a) assess their research questions. Does the question meet all required guidelines? Provide meaningful, useful feedback.b) how do you feel about the topic? Does it interest you? Are you aware of the topic, or is it new to you?
Each response should be 100 words
1. Please read and respond using the Responding to peers instructions: (100 words)

To What Extent is Gender Pay Inequality an issue in the Film Industry?
I have chosen this issue to begin my preliminary research and write on mainly because it a subject that goes alongside my career of choice and has been an argument I have not been able to have much opinion towards since I do not have the proper knowledge on it. I have a great fondness for movies and have great admiration for the intelligence and hard work it takes to create one; every role is important in creating a movie & every person has a very big significance in what they do. As a woman myself interested seeking a degree in the Film Industry I want to further investigate how exactly woman are treated and paid in comparison to men in this business. I’d really like to see what are the main attributions on why this is a topic always being argued in the Industry.

2. Please read and respond using the Responding to peers instructions: (100 words)

What are the Impacts on mandatory vaccination?
While taking this course and having the opportunity to explore a topic of interest (a controversial topic that is), I would like to explore the impacts of mandatory vaccinations. Will this mandatory vaccination have everyone in favor or against it? Will anyone be able to work if they don’t receive the vaccine? Will anyone be able to attend school if they don’t receive the vaccination? This topic is something I believe is a controversy in the world we are living in today because everyone is different and thinks very much differently as well. We’ve seen in recent weeks and months that the Biden administration has pushed for workplaces to require vaccines in order to keep a job. This topic speaks to me because I believe everyone has the right to think about what they want injected into their body and if they are interested in it, instead of being forced.

Synergy
An effective leader utilizes many different skills to influence and lead subordinates. Although each leader may place more emphasis on some skills than on others, certain core skills are the foundation of effective leadership. Exceptional communication skills are among these core skills. The leader must be able to portray a clear and concise message that is understood by the intended recipient whether it is written, oral, or body language. The leader should also have a certain level of interpersonal skills to encourage cohesiveness and camaraderie within the group. The leader should be an effective planner and decision maker, as well as a motivator and a mentor. This creates a synergistic environment.
There is a very large learning curve when considering the role of synergy in international or global corporate environments. Researchers note that effective leaders are constantly learning. Senge (1990) has devoted an entire book to the study of learning organizations.
On the basis of the readings and learning of the week, discuss any two of the following:
Assess the characteristics that leaders as learners in learning organizations should possess. How will these characteristics help leaders establish and maintain synergy in a global environment?
Explain how a business organization that embraces diversity in its domestic operations can become positioned to develop synergy and succeed in the international marketplace.
Evaluate the difficulties of creating synergy in a culturally diverse organization. What problems will a leader face? How can these problems be overcome? Use examples to illustrate your point.
Identify the values or principles that you would instill in yourself and your organizational culture to create an open yet cohesive organizational culture. How do you think these values or principles will help in the global environment?

2)Do you think the human slave trade helped the economy or hurt society more?

Read, summarize and contextualize the following 1996 Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), entitled Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapon. (see https://www.icj-cij.org/public/files/case-related/95/095-19960708-ADV-01-00-EN.pdf)

The brief should include five elements. The third, fourth, and fifth elements are most important. As such,
they should comprise the majority of the brief. No further external research beyond the course materials is permitted or required.
First, the assignment should provide a short background to the opinion (e.g. who asked the ICJ to get involved?).

Second, it should tell the reader what the main legal issue was (e.g. what question was posed to the ICJ?).

Third, the brief should summarize what major rules or areas of international law were seen to address the above issue (e.g. what treaties and/or customary law were seen to apply?).

Fourth, the brief should tell the reader what the overall conclusion of the Court was regarding the main legal issue, including whether the judges agreed.

Finally, the brief should reflect on why the ICJ concluded the way it did, and how the opinion demonstrates some of the theories of international law that have been covered so far in the course
