To prepare for this section of the Course Project:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on how you, as an advocate, can use your knowledge of the government’s basic structure and processes to make your advocacy efforts more effective.
• Research your local government. Think about processes, procedures, and functions of your local government—how your municipal government works.
• Identify whether your local government is run by a city council, how many people are on the council, and whether a mayor presides over the council. If your local government is not run by a city council, determine which legislative body runs your local government.
• Think about whether you would present your selected public health issue to your city council, county board, and/or any other special boards or committees. Consider how you would present the issue to this group.
• Review the Horrigan and Raine article (2015) located in this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on transparency in local governments and consider whether the work of your local government is transparent.
• Identify local representatives and explain how local officials and members of committees are elected or selected. If elected, consider whether they are elected via ward, precinct, or by top vote.

The Branch Davidian cult was known for its confrontation with law enforcement in Waco, Texas during the early 1990s.  

Do you think the Branch Davidian cult was justified in its actions or was law enforcement correct in engaging in suppression efforts? Why?

If you were in charge of law enforcement during the confrontation at Waco, Texas, how would you have handled this sensitive situation?

[1] What stood out to you about the Branch Davidian cult that you would like to discuss more with the class?

[2] What do you think about the confrontation that took place between the Branch Davidian cult and federal authorities in Waco, Texas?  What are your thoughts on how the confrontation affected the American public at the time?

• In this paper, you will explore what a future sustainable world might look like, and in the process of doing so, extend your previous descriptions of selected terms and explain how they may play a role in aiding us in achieving environmental sustainability on a global scale.
• The Journey to Sustainability
• Imagine a future (probably a long time from now) in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. That means that we as a species have figured out how to maintain a lifestyle that can go on indefinitely. Humans will exist in harmony with their environment, not needing more resources than can naturally be replenished. What would such a world be like? How might we get there from here?
• In this final assignment, you will play the part of science-fiction writer, imagining and describing what a sustainable Earth, inhabited by humans, might look like in the distant future. You will need to provide examples throughout to support your descriptions. You should include all the terms that you have researched during Weeks 1 through 4 of this class, underlining each term as you include it. Be sure to expand on your terms and include other concepts that you learned in the course. Provide as detailed a picture as possible of how that future world might function on a day-to-day basis. In your paper, use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity. Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work. Finally, you will submit the document to Waypoint.
• Your paper will consist of seven paragraphs using the format below to address the elements with the assumption that environmental sustainability has been achieved:
• Paragraph 1:
• Describe how the human relationship to nature will be different from what it is at present.
• Examine how humans will cope differently with the ways that natural phenomena like hurricanes affect lives.
• Paragraph 2:
• Describe what Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems will look like in a sustainable future.
• Explain what humans have done differently to enable biodiversity and ecosystems to function sustainably.
• Paragraph 3:
• Examine how agricultural production will be different in a sustainable future.
• Paragraph 4:
• Differentiate between how humans will manage water resources (fresh water and ocean) in the sustainable future compared to how it is done now.
• Paragraph 5
• Examine how humans will meet their energy needs in the future in a way that will enable maintenance of a sustainable, habitable atmosphere and climate.
• Indicate the changes that humans have made that are enabling them to maintain a healthy atmosphere and climate for all.

It provides the opportunity to reflect on how we view ourselves and how others might view us in a group situation. There is no question this presents an opportunity to learn more about the people with whom we work, to develop strategies for solving problems, and to improve communication. Effective communication in healthcare is one of the most critical issues in terms of improving colleague relationships, staff satisfaction, and patient safety. Do you ever feel like regardless of your efforts, your message just was not getting through, or that you were not getting the gist of what the sender was trying to convey? As you explore key components of communication reflect on how you can influence messages that are sent and received.

Women that have been through unjustice with either death or in the court system

What are three formative assessment strategies that you could incorporate into the implementation of your Instructional Plan project?

Develop an outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don’t talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society’s culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren’t impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society’s culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impact the quality of school children attend, what they study, and how many years they attend school. Many students graduate from college with significant student loan debt. How might someone’s experience after college graduation be different if they graduated from college debt-free because their parents could afford to pay for it?
We regularly see new products and services as a result of increasing technology. We often take the influence of technology and media for granted, but it has a substantial impact on how we understand our culture and society as a whole. Many new products and services are a response to society’s changing needs. But technology can also serve to shape the values held by a society. Think about how our interaction has changed in the past ten years as a result of technology. Has that impacted our values? A small number of corporations deliver Internet platforms and a small number of corporations produce most of our media. What impact does that have on our access to technology and information?

Discuss  how much redaction is necessary to anonymize an electronic health record. Is it enough to redact the name? The name and address? Is a medical record like a finger print?

Use at least three sources. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.

What is marketing? What is strategic planning? After reviewing this week’s resources and your research, in your own words discuss in detail the relationship between organizational strategy and marketing strategy.
