Graded Original Post & Response:

Using your notes from the video, the materials from previous lessons such as those about elections, parties, the Constitution, etc., and the provided additional reading sources in this instruction sheet, answer the three questions above in a post. When you have it ready in your Word program, cut and paste using the keyboard shortcuts for cut/paste, and post it to a new thread in the discussion board. You cannot edit or repost once it’s posted, so do NOT post until you are ready.
Format of Original Post:

Title of Thread: Must contain the problem/solution you will address. This makes it easy for others to find posts they want to respond to.

Number your answers: using the three questions above.

Citation of Sources: Please cite the video, sources from the source lists below, and course materials as you use them in your post so that we can tell where you got each idea. No direct quotes are allowed. You MUST write the entire post in your own words. Note where you got ideas/facts from by giving us the source in parentheses after you use it (National Review Article) or by saying where you got it in the sentence, such as “Lesson 5’s notes point out that…”

Length: There is no minimum/maximum, but most people will need at least one to two paragraphs to answer each question.

Opinion: Your opinion is not what will be graded. Your understanding, analysis and originality are being graded, not which solution you propose. Please avoid getting tied up in your own opinion. This is an assignment where you show off your depth of understanding, analysis and synthesis of the materials and NOT to give us details of your feelings. I’m happy to start a forum to discuss opinions and feelings specifically, just let me know!

Depth of understanding & analysis: Students sometimes post very generic stuff. Please avoid this. For example, the following is “fluff”: “Democracy is about freedom, and the freedom to choose, and without a right to vote, we are all less free.” Notice this does not get into detail about anything, does not analyze anything specific, and could be written by anyone I asked off the street. Instead, really dig into the materials from the video, the sources below, and lesson materials and apply those to your chosen problem/solution

Case Study #2-Drugs Affecting the CV &Renal System  Description:
Jill is a 47-year old grade school teacher who is concerned about her family history of early cardiovascular death. She wonders what her own risk factors are and whether she should be taking precautionary measures. Other than playing a few rounds of dodgeball with students once a week, she is rather sedentary because she has to grade papers and prepare lesson plans during the evening at home. Her last wellness examination did not turn up any red flags except for being overweight and borderline hypertensive, and she had normal laboratory values, including lipids.
1. What specific family history questions must be answered to identify her family risks?
2. What specific issues in her own history must be addressed to deal with her lipid health? How much of a relationship is required to influence risk?
3. What, if any, positive factors does she have? Evidence implies that one type of factor can cancel another factor’s influence.
4. What, if any negative factors, does she have already known? Would they be considered differently if she were male?
5. How would you classify her risk by current guidelines? See current guidelines and validate your answer.  Total Posts: 0 Unread Posts: 0 Total Participants: 0

M5A1: Essay: Choose Your Own Epidemic
We discuss three acellular infectious agents in this module – viruses, prions and viroids. Infection by any one of these can have serious

consequences to human health and/or economic wellbeing. In the event of an outbreak, it is important to be able to identify and contain these

pathogens to avoid potentially deadly outbreaks. Your assignment is to choose one of the three infectious agents and consider the

epidemiological features of your selection. By epidemiological features we mean: Can you characterize the causative organism? Where does the

disease come from? Who is affected? How do they acquire the pathogen? What are the symptoms and risk factors? How is the disease dealt with once

it is discovered in order to prevent its spread? You can choose one pathogen based on the general scenario described below.

For this assignment you now work for the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Research Service. You have been assigned to

characterize a new epidemic that has spread rapidly at a farm in Montana. You arrive at the farm observe the livestock, crops and farm workers

for signs of illness. You sample the fluids and tissue of several affected organisms and bring them to a state-of-the-art USDA laboratory for

analysis. The outbreak is fictional but all the information – from the organism, to how it is acquired, to the symptoms it causes – should be

legitimate for the infectious agent. I have intentionally left out these and other details in the scenario. You will fill in the details in your

essay by addressing the following questions.

What is the affected organism (animal/plant/human or any combination)?
What are the symptoms exhibited by the affected organism(s)?
What is the pathogen that you have identified after analysis of the infected material?
How where you able to identify the agent in a laboratory?
Describe the etiology. How did the infection make its way to the farm?
Trace the fictional outbreak from its origins either locally, nationally or internationally.
Knowing how the infectious agent is disseminated, what recommendations do you make to the farm manager for containment and treatment of infected

organisms?
Please visit the Excelsior Library (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to find at least 3 suitable citations to support the

information you provide as you portray this outbreak.

Your essay should be 2-3 pages in length, double spaced in a 10-12 point font. Please be sure to cite all sources of information, including the

text book, in the essay text and on a reference page using APA format. When you have finished your essay, attach it to the assignment drop box

What types of challenges do outside actors—whether states, coalitions of states or international institutions—most often face in attempting to

strike a reasonable balance between punitive and reconciliatory measures in the nation/state-building processes that have become the rule rather

than the exception following inter- and intra-state conflicts in the post-Cold War era?
What division of labor among states, international institutions and non-governmental organizations is likely to prove most effective in meeting

such challenges in the future? Explain why.
Remember that these assignments are meant to be primarily analytical in orientation and demand that students support their arguments with

references to the weekly readings and the provision of detailed practical examples.
You are encouraged to provide informed but creative interpretations of the question under consideration.
In the process, it is absolutely essential that an essay address each segment of that question.
