Premium Writing

Based on your weekly readings from the course and any other credible sources that you find, answer the following questions:

1) Are modern parents doing a good job of raising their children?

This is a much trickier question that it seems at first glance. In order to respond, you need to ask yourself two crucial questions. First, what does it mean to be a “modern” parent – what are the challenges that modern parents face that make parenting especially hard in the 21st century? Second, you need to define what “good parenting” is. What is the metric we use to define success as parents?

The responses to this question are likely to be quite diverse, but that’s okay. An excellent response will address the two crucial questions, which lead to an answer that incorporates at least 3 of the weekly learning resources (include citations and references). In addition, find and incorporate at least one credible news article or journal article that supports your response. This article should be no more than 2 years old.

2) Refer back to the Week 1 discussion where you identified 2 or 3 questions about parenting that you wanted to have answered. Copy your questions into this discussion. Were your questions answered in this course? If yes, how? If not, how would you go about finding the answers to your questions?

This week’s readings below:

Additional Topics that can Impact Parenting, Child-rearing, Families, and Child Outcomes

When discussing and evaluating professional ethics, it is essential to understand the purpose, terminology, and repercussions of professional misconduct. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) code of professional conduct is the gold standard for defining professional conduct in accounting; it is therefore important for business professionals to be familiar with. In this discussion, you will explore one principle in depth and discuss it and others with your peers.

First, select one of the following principles of professional conduct to examine in the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct document:

Responsibilities
Public interest
Integrity
Objectivity and independence
Due care
Scope and nature of services
Then, for your initial post, reflect on what appropriate practice of your selected principle would look like in the field, and also on some potential examples of violations of the principle. Use the following questions to help guide your reflections:

How would you define and describe your selected principle in your own words?
What value does the principle bring to practitioners, businesses, and clients?
What is an example of a difficult situation that a practitioner may face related to your selected principle, and what would an ethical response to the situation be? Why might a practitioner be tempted to, or accidentally, not take an ethical course of action?

California is predicted to experience unprecedented warming and dryness over the next several decades due to climate change. Describe the underlying physiology of a health condition/emergency that would affect your family/community’s health, as a result of this change. What is a potential solution to mitigate the impact of unprecedented warming and dryness?
Highlight a current/ongoing health issue in your family/community and propose a feasible, evidence-based approach to address the issue. Your reflection should be significantly different from your topic on the Community Health project.
In order to combat the obesity epidemic, health officials are proposing a tax on junk food (the cost will likely be passed on to the consumer). Would you support this initiative? Explain why or why not.
In your essay, be sure to include some concrete information about the biology that was covered in this unit, explaining either how and/or why this information is relevant to you. Make your essay personal! Additionally, you must include at least two reputable sources to support your writing.

Cold War Hotspots Article

This is a newspaper research project in which you will write a newspaper article about a hotspot in the Cold War, in other words, a specific site where the conflict between the Americans and Soviets played out on the ground and through the interests, of a third nation. You will write a newspaper article that represents either the Soviet, American, or nonaligned country’s point of view in the “hot spot” conflict that you select.

There are nine hotspots. Choose one (1):

Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962)
Afghanistan, 1979-1989
Cambodia
Angola
Nicaragua
Guatemala
Congo
Iran
Hungary
After selecting a hotspot, review the information provided about your event: Hotspot Resources.

Conduct any other research on your selected hotspot so that you can write a thorough article.

An important part of the assignment is to reflect the “spin” that this nation’s newspaper might put on the event, given their concerns during the Cold War.

Your story may be any one of these article formats:

Main story: tells the events from a timeline for the event selected in a chronological order
Eyewitness story: tells the story from the viewpoint of a fictional or real “eyewitness” who saw the events that day.
Background story: gives information that explains why this event is so important or what led up to the event
Editorial: A reaction to the event from the newspaper’s point of view
Keep track of the websites or print sources you find on your own, and include a full citation for all sources on the last page of your article. You may use EasyBib.com to format your works cited page in MLA format.

Develop a disaster recovery plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to community services after a disaster. Then, develop and record a 10-12 slide presentation (please refer to the PowerPoint tutorial) of the plan with speaker notes.

Preparation

When disaster strikes, community members must be protected. A comprehensive recovery plan, guided by the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, is essential to help ensure everyone’s safety. The unique needs of residents must be assessed to lessen health disparities and improve access to equitable services after a disaster. Recovery efforts depend on the appropriateness of the plan, the extent to which key stakeholders have been prepared, the quality of the trace-mapping, and the allocation of available resources. In a time of cost containment, when personnel and resources may be limited, the needs of residents must be weighed carefully against available resources.

In this assessment, you are a community task force member responsible for developing a disaster recovery plan for a local hospital.

Begin thinking about:

Community needs.
Resources, personnel, budget, and community makeup.
People accountable for implementation of the disaster recovery plan.
Healthy People 2020 goals and 2030 objectives.
A timeline for the recovery effort.
You may also wish to:

Review the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, which you will use to guide the development of your plan:
Mobilize collaborative partners.
Assess community needs.
Plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to services.
Implement a plan to reach Healthy People 2020 goals or 2030 objectives.
Track community progress.
Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

Every 10 years, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion release information on health indicators, public health issues, and current trends. At the end of 2020, Healthy People 2030 was released to provide information for the next 10 years. Healthy People 2030 provides the most updated content when it comes to prioritizing public health issues; however, there are historical contents that offer a better understanding of some topics. Disaster preparedness is addressed in Healthy People 2030, but a more robust understanding of MAP-IT, triage, and recovery efforts is found in Healthy People 2020. For this reason, you will find references to both Healthy People 2020 and Healthy People 2030 in this course.

Complete the following:

Develop a disaster recovery plan for the Vila Health community that will lessen health disparities and improve access to services after a disaster. Refer back to the Vila Health: Disaster Recovery Scenario to understand the Vila Health community.
Assess community needs.
Consider resources, personnel, budget, and community makeup.
Identify the people accountable for implementation of the plan and describe their roles.
Focus on specific Healthy People 2020 goals and 2030 objectives.
Include a timeline for the recovery effort.
Apply the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework to guide the development of your plan:
Mobilize collaborative partners.
Assess community needs.
Use the demographic data and specifics related to the disaster to identify the needs of the community and develop a recovery plan. Consider physical, emotional, cultural, and financial needs of the entire community.
Include in your plan the equitable allocation of services for the diverse community.
Apply the triage classification to provide a rationale for those who may have been injured during the train derailment. Provide support for your position.
Include in your plan contact tracing of the homeless, disabled, displaced community members, migrant workers, and those who have hearing impairment or English as a second language in the event of severe tornadoes.
Plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to services.
Implement a plan to reach Healthy People 2020 goals and 2030 objectives.
Track and trace-map community progress.
Use the CDC’s Contract Tracing Resources for Health Departments as a template to create your contact tracing.
Describe the plan for contact tracing during the disaster and recovery phase.
Develop a slide presentation of your disaster recovery plan with an audio recording of you presenting your assessment of the Vila Health: Disaster Recovery Scenario for city officials and the disaster relief team. Be sure to also include speaker notes.
Presentation Format and Length
You may use Microsoft PowerPoint (preferred) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voice-over along with speaker notes. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your instructor to avoid potential file compatibility issues.

Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides:

Title slide.
Recovery plan title.
Your name.
Date.
Course number and title.
References (at the end of your presentation).
Your slide deck should consist of 10–12 content slides plus title and references slides. Use the speaker’s notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and cite your sources as appropriate. Be sure to also include a transcript that matches your recorded voice-over. The transcript can be submitted on a separate Word document. Make sure to review the Microsoft PowerPoint tutorial for directions.
