Project Proposal for you course project

Based upon the lessons this week, write a Project Proposal for you course project. Your Proposal should at least 500 words and be at least 2 pages long. Be sure to include the following items in your proposal:

  • Introduction
  • An overview of your project
  • Project approach (how you will do the work)
  • Project Timeline
  • Estimated Cost
  • Assumptions you have made about this project
  • Conclusion

Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document

An Economic theory

Unlike in the first discussion board, in this one you’ll be assigned an economic theory based on the first letter of your last name. In this first part of our discussion board, each of you is going to be assigned one of the three economic theories discussed in chapter 8 (especially pages 270-272, but also throughout the chapter)

You shouldn’t need anything other than the book and/or module videos to do this assignment, but you can also use other internet sources if you would like, so long as they are reputable. Ideally, please post your response below rather than uploading it as a word document/PDF, since that’s harder for your classmates to read. I would like you to compose a 300-500 word post that summarizes the following about your theory:

1) What are the basics of your political-economic theory? What is the role of the state in your theory? What is the role of the market?

2) What are the advantages of your theory? Why might a state want to follow it?

3) What are the disadvantages of your theory? Why might a state not want to follow it?

4) What do you think of the theory? Do you find it compelling? Do you think it’s problematic? Why?

If your last name starts with the letter A through the letter G your theory is: Economic Liberalism

If your last name starts with the letter H through the letter M your theory is: Radicalism

If your last name starts with the letter N through the letter Z your theory is: Mercantilism

PLEASE NOTE: Economic liberalism IS NOT the same as liberalism as we’ve been discussing it in this course (it would more accurately be referred to as capitalism). Make sure you’re using economic liberalism for this assignment.

You can score up to 20 points based on your use of evidence, the thoroughness and accuracy of your answer, and your correct usage of grammar/spelling.

Research involving Human subjects

Research involving human subjects can be difficult due to uncontrollable variables such as cohort effects. Cohort effects are a common issue in research on human development, which are also present in other areas of our lives and work, especially in nursing and human service fields or other careers that involve working with people.
Initial Post
Considering your own development, identify a cohort effect that applies to you. Describe or define the cohort effect with which you identify. List three (3) ways this differs from someone else in your life (your parents or children, friends, or colleagues).
Response Post
Reply to at least one (1) peer who identified a different cohort effect. Identify two (2) examples of how your cohort experience is different from theirs.

Theoretical context

Consider the reading in relation to its historical or theoretical context; write about an aspect of the week’s reading that you don’t understand or something that jars you; formulate an insightful question or two about the reading and then attempt to answer your own questions;

 

Read Chapters 2,3,and 4 and contribute to the weekly discussion forum, posting an approximately 100-150 word response to the week’s readings. There are a number of ways to approach these open-ended posts:

Fundamental influences that Healthcare law has exerted

Analyze the fundamental influences that healthcare law has exerted on the social, political, and economic environment of the country. Provide one example of each to support your rationale.

2 Analyze the branches of the U.S. government and explain the impact of each branch (legislative, executive, and judicial branches) on healthcare policy. Then provide at least two specific examples of a healthcare law or policy from your state and interpret the impact of the overall decision/policy on the health of the citizens of that state.

3 Interpret the role common law plays in healthcare in the United States. Assess the level at which common law has impacted overall decisions related to healthcare policy. Provide two specific examples to support your rationale.

4 Communication helps us express our ideas and better understand others. In fact, delivering clear messages through oral and written communication are critical aspects of our daily lives.

In which aspect of your daily life listed below do you think effective communication is most important? Thoroughly explain why.

  1. Academic (i.e., communicating with instructors, deans, and success coaches).
  2. Employment (i.e., communicating with colleagues and supervisors).
  3. Personal (i.e., communicating with family and friends).

5 Active listening helps us communicate effectively and resolve conflicts in the workplace. However, distractions such as mobile devices and emails may impact our ability to actively listen to others.

Choose one of the options below. Then, thoroughly explain why active listening is critical to its success. You may want to refer to active listening strategies you have learned about throughout this course.

  1. Building professional relationships.
  2. Decreasing misunderstandings.
  3. Increasing productivity.

Pathogenic microorganisms in foods

Pasteurization, a process named in honor of French chemist, Louis Pasteur, uses heat to destroy pathogenic microorganisms in foods and beverages such as milk, cheese, fruit juices, and canned goods. Its intended use is to increase the shelf-life and stability of many foods.

 

For your initial post, define the pasteurization process. Do you think pasteurization necessary? What about countries that don’t use pasteurization? How are they able to safely consume products like unpasteurized dairy products? Do you think raw milk and dairy products should be more or less available?

The Public health and medical professionals

With regard to the November 2014 Ebola scare in the United States, do you think the public health and medical professionals involved in the Ebola cluster investigation followed proper protocols?

If so, what best practices were used? If not, what could have been done differently? Remember to cite references where necessary
