Turning the Tide

For “Turning the Tide” assignment, you have been assigned a specific country, and all your report will focus on this country. Each report should be 2-3 pages long and will be related to the topic being covered that week. The Turning the Tide assignment will be on:
You will use the GBD data visualization tools(https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-compare/) to identify temporal trend in DALY (1990 vs 2015) associated with the aforementioned topics. You will look at the historical trend and explore what might have contributed to the observed trend in DALY associated with the specific risk factor or disease outlined above. You will compare your country’s DALYs to that of China and discuss the similarity/differences. China is chosen as a reference country because China has managed to make significant stride over the past few decades in addressing these issues. Finally, you will come up with set of policy recommendations or changes that you think will contribute to additional improvements and lead to reduction in DALYs related to these risk factors/diseases in the country you are assigned. Your report (2-3 page) should include:
• Abstract/Summaray – Clearly summarizes the intro, results, and discussion/conclusion in short (≤100 words)
• Introduction- what does your topic mean/ how it is impacting health/ what it means to you? What are the underlying causes?
• Results- Use the data visualization tools outlined in the syllabus (GBD compare, gapminderetc) to describe how the identified risk factor is impacting the population, how are DALYs affected by the specific risk factor, and how they compare with the neighboring countries/ Distinct trends observed?
• Discussion/Conclusion-Interpreting the results/ potential reasons behind the distinct trends or how the results compares to China/ neighboring countries? Is the country doing better or worse? Policy recommendations so your country does better in the future.
• Brief background (what is the main problem under consideration? Why should we care?)
• Results/Discussion (What did you observed? What is your main finding? What does it mean in the larger context?).
• How does your country compare to China or any neighbouring country of your choice?
• What do you think should be done to further reduce the DALY associated with the specific risk factor or the disease?
• Conclusion (What is the punchline?)
• References (5-10)
• Appendix

 

1. Choose a case from the AMA Journal of Ethics Case Index and take a position.
2. For this assignment you will evaluate the ethical arguments for or against the issue.
3. Identify the potential legal arguments (consider current federal guidelines),
4. Indicate any potential professional code conflicts you foresee, and
5. Support your position with an explanation of your own ethical/moral foundation.
In your 2-3 page paper:
• Identify the issue and state your ethical position.
• How might this scenario play out or impact you in your role as a nurse practitioner?
• Defend your position with legal, ethical, and professional evidence.
• As part of your position, propose strategies and solutions for addressing the issues.
• What other ethical issues does this case bring to light, if any?
Support your position with at least one scholarly source (it may be your text). Be sure to cite the article you choose, use APA format, and

include a title page and reference page.

play: othello and Barbara Schapiro, “Psychoanalysis and the Problem of Evil: Debating Othello in the Classroom

First, read the essay by Barbara Schapiro, “Psychoanalysis and the Problem of Evil: Debating Othello in the Classroom.”

write a 4-5 page essay, respond to Schapiro’s argument, arguing for your own interpretation of
Your stance on the Othello-Iago relationship. Is Iago a kind of “projection” of Othello’s own character? Or is Iago better seen as an outside force acting upon Othello? Or do you think that both views are necessary to get a more complete picture of their interactions? What does it mean to choose a side or to choose both?
please remember that you are writing an argument: a clear thesis and compelling supporting evidence will be essential to success. Be able to cite from Schapiro’s argument as well as work with a few key passages from Othello.
Also, you should be able to define, preferably from the start, what exactly is Schapiro’s overall argument, and then be able to narrow your focus to your particular subject of concern within that argument. Remember, Schapiro provides one of possibly many different perspectives, and at times she may simply present ideas more than she argues for any one interpretation; at the same time, there is an overall argument that structures her dealing with the play, and it’s important to recognize what her authorial purposes are in assessing and responding to what she presents about individual characters and scenes.
sources should be from these two documents on Schapiro and Othello play

Geography
Find a local landform that is glacial in origin. Good examples include esker, kame, kettle lake, drumlin, terminal moraine, ice-walled

lake, subglacial valley, ec. For those of you who are in Minnesota, there are lots of options to chose from. If you are in another state

(except Florida), there are still glacial landforms to be found in the local landscape. In more southern states the only options would be

higher in the mountains.

Visit the landform. Take a few photos of it from different angles. Find it on the topo map (www.topoquest.com) and include a copy of that

with your report.

Answer the following questions:

1) What is the name/type of the landform? Where is it located?

2) What is the presumed origin of the landform? Is it depositional or erosional? Approximately when do you think was it created?

3) What do you see on the surface of the landform that suggests its glacial origin?

4) How big is the landform (length, width, height or depth).

5) Is there any evidence that the landform is used in any way by humans today? For example, some eskers in Minnesota are used as a good

source of gravel.

Attach the photos and the topo map image for your landform to your report and submit it to the dropbox.

Write a 550-word analysis of Robert Hughes’ article, The Rise of Andy Warhol

The Rise of Andy Warhol

In Kozol, page 133 (roughly – this will change with different printings), a principal discusses the racial difference in schools and justice. For this paper, please interpret and discuss this quote as it relates to the different types of diversity we have discussed so far.
“The United States now has, in many black administrators of the public schools, precisely the defeated overseers it needs to justify this terrible immiseration. It is a tradition that goes back at least 300 years. A few of us are favored. They invite us to a White House ceremony and award us something – a ‘certificate of excellence’ – for our achievement. So we accept some things and we forget some other things and what we can’t forget we learn how to shut out of mind and we adopt the rhetoric that is required of us and we speak of ‘quality’ or ‘excellence’ – not justice.”

story, and you have chosen to write about your practicum experience, it should be written in the first person.

The capstone experience culminates in a presentation to other students and any members of the University community who choose to attend. A date and

time will be determined by faculty early in the semester and communicated to students planning to graduate. Students will participate by preparing

a formal poster of their work to be presented during this Colloquium.

• As a separate piece, you will be asked to complete a Reflection of your graduate school experience – include a review of courses you have

completed and what they added (or didn’t add) to where you are now. Think about where you were when you started the program, where you are now, and

where you are going!

For this assignment, you will write a 1200-word critical analysis based on one of the following topics inspired by readings in our

textbook, The McGraw-Hill Reader. The paper will include quoting the text, as well as additional research from the library database or

another approved and reliable source documented correctly in proper APA format. This paper requires writing in Third Person Point of View

in a persuasive mode.
The abstract should be 100 words and the body (excluding the cover page and reference page) of the paper should be 1000 words. Be sure to

use the template for a research paper that you created in Week One, and provide direct support from your sources. It would be best to use

the readings from your textbook, but other reliable sources should also be used. At least three sources are required. Choose ONE of the

following topics.

These are general topics meant to inspire further exploration and discovery of a narrower subject for your paper. Your essay should be

persuasive and explore a debatable idea. See Idea Generators below and how the general topic of education as a right or privilege is

narrowed to an examination of integration. Should integration necessarily translate into concrete gains like greater achievement for all

students? If so, is mixing students by race the most effective mechanism for attaining it?
First steps for success:
1. Choose a topic
2. Read the essay with pen in hand
3. Underline or note an engaging quote or comment.

Sample Idea Generators
Education
In “The Next Kind of Integration” Emily Bazelon asks, “Is the purpose of integration simply to mix students of different colors for the

sake of equity or to foster greater familiarity and comfort among the races? Should integration necessarily translate into concrete gains

like greater achievement for all students? If so, is mixing students by race the most effective mechanism for attaining it?
After reading Emily Bazleon’s essay and Clayborne Carson’s “Two Cheers for Brown v. Board of Education” write a persuasive essay based on

your position on the need for equality in race and socioeconomic factors in education.
History, Culture and Civilization
In “A World Not Neatly Divided” Amartya Sin states that “the befuddling influence of a singular classification also traps those who

dispute the thesis of clash: To talk about the “Islamic world” or “the Western world” is already to adopt an impoverished vision of

humanity as unalterable divided.” Both Fatema Mernissi’s “Digital Scheherezades in the Arab World” In a persuasive essay address the

future of a diversified America. Can a nation maintain a strong sense of self and still remain open to outside influences? Is national

identity crucial to a nation’s survival? How would you describe America’s national identity?
