Locate a health-related topic in your community (The state of Virginia).
Using one (1) of the methods below, develop a communication initiative that best educates your community on this health-related topic:
2-page fact sheet on the health-related topic (e.g., disease, condition, addiction).
An educational brochure.
Power Point presentation (10–12 slides).
3–5 minute public service announcement (using a free online voice recorder such as vocaroo.com)
Letter to your state representative informing him/her of the importance of the identified health-related topic.
Your communication initiative should portray a real-life, health-related topic in your community. The use of factual data is required for this Assignment.
The use of first person is permitted for this Assignment. APA formatting (title page, conclusion, reference page, etc.) should not be used. Remember, you are developing a current communication initiative for your community.
Although the use of APA formatting is not required for this Assignment, proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are expected.
For this assignment, you may wish to use the National Health Education Standards, a list of
standards created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. NHES is an outlet for
health education and awareness in schools throughout the United States. These standards are
a useful resource for you to consult when developing a new healthcare initiative.
How you communicate is just as important as what you communicate. As leaders in the field,
you will be expected to communicate with others on areas of concern in health care and even
on research findings. Honing your communication skills now will better prepare you for success
in the field. Some examples of communication used in health care include writing emails, letters,
blogs, and articles for publication, as well as delivering verbal instructions and professional
presentations.
Where can you locate information on new policies being introduced to lawmakers? What about
new legislation aimed at reducing a healthcare concern? Take time out to learn the lawmaking
process. You can discover this information by performing an internet search for relevant data.

In each case, answer the questions at the end of the case and give researched references to support your assertions; also, explain what would be the ethical course of action and the legal requirements for action in the case.
Case One
Mrs. G. has an aneurysm in her brain that, if untreated by surgery, will lead to blindness and probably death. The surgery recommended leads to death in 75% of all cases. Of those who survive the operation, nearly 75% are crippled. Mrs. G has three small children. Her husband has a modest job, and his health insurance will cover the operation, but not the expenses that will result if she is crippled.
When informed of this, Mrs. G. is in great emotional turmoil for a week or so until she makes her decision. She refuses treatment, because she does not like the odds. There was, after all, only a one chance out of sixteen for a real recovery. In addition, she could not come to grips with exposing her family to the risk of having a mother who would be a burden and not a help.
Can a patient with serious obligations, such as a family, refuse treatment? What odds of recovery would be good odds?
Case Two
Mrs. S., an 85-year-old housewife, becomes aware of breathlessness and is easily fatigued. She is known to have had a heart murmur for 2 years. She consents to come to a research hospital for cardiac catheterization, which confirms the presence of severe, calcific aortic stenosis with secondary congestive heart failure.
Because of the unfavorable prospect for survival without surgical intervention, the recommendation at the combined cardiac medical-surgical conference is for an operation. The physician explains the situation to Mr. and Mrs. S. and recommends aortic valve replacement. It is noted that the risk of surgery is not well known for Mrs. S,’s age group, and that early mortality is usually around 10 percent, with 80 percent achieving good functional results after 3 years. Her lack of an obvious disease makes her a relatively good candidate for a successful surgical outcome, despite her age.
Mrs. S. appears to understand the discussion and recommendation, but requests deferral of the decision and shows signs of denial of the problem. She has no other medical problems, her husband is in good health, and their marriage appears to be happy. They are financially secure and enjoy a full set of social and recreational activities. She returns on three subsequent occasions for simple, supportive attention. The physician decides not to employ psychiatric assistance or other measures to reduce her denial and begins to use conversation to reduce her anxiety associated with her decision.
Does Mrs. S.’s apparent denial of her condition make informed consent impossible? Is the physician ethical in reducing her anxiety about her apparent refusal of treatment when the physician believes treatment is medically indicated?
The Global War on Terror has introduced a new phenomenon on the modern battlefield: private contractors. Contractors have taken on new roles as support service providers to the U.S. military and have assumed security force roles involving active combat.
Identify at least two ethical problems with using private contractors in combat operations such as those that are currently used to support operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do you believe that private contractors used to support contractors are actually mercenaries? Explain your answer and note whether you believe it is legitimate and ethical to use private contractors in combat.
Question 2:
The use of assassination in warfare has been a topic of debate throughout history. At different times, the United States has outlawed or condoned the use of assassination in warfare.
Discuss two ethical concerns with regards to the use of assassination in warfare. Provide one argument for why targeted assassination is legitimate in warfare, and then provide one argument for why targeted assassination is not ethical in warfare. Do you believe that assassination is an ethical use of violence in warfare?
The Framers of the Constitution, to ensure that no single person or entity had a monopoly on power, instituted a system of checks and balances. Thus, the United States has three branches of government: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. Each of these branches has a distinct and essential role in the function of the government and also exercises some control over the actions of the other branches.
Research the three branches of government using the textbook and Argosy University online library resources. Respond to one question from each of the question sets below.
A. Legislative (Pick one to respond to)
Should members of the U.S. Congress be “delegates” or “trustees” for their constituents? Which do you believe serves the best interests of the members of Congress and of the constituents?
Should members of Congress vote according to their own views or the views of the constituents who elected them?
B. Executive (Pick one to respond to)
Which president do you feel was the greatest and which president do you feel was the worst in U.S. history? Why?
What are the qualifications required to be president? Describe at least one other qualification you feel should also be required and explain why.
After serving the maximum two terms as president, should an ex-president be allowed to be reelected after an intermediate term of another president? Why or why not?
C. Judicial (Pick one to respond to)
How can the U.S. Supreme Court’s power be curbed? Is it important that curbing the Court’s power should not be easy? Why or why not?
The Constitution does not stipulate that judges must have a law degree or legal training. Yet all judges appointed are law school graduates. Why? Is it possible that a judge could come from another field? Why or why not?
Write your response to each question in 150–200 words.
The relationship between public opinion and political participation raises many questions associated with how the public thinks, why they behave in the manner they do, and what outcomes in the form of ideological expressions will probably take place because of citizens’ behavior in the political scenario. Essentially, “who, what, and where” issues again surface in response to evaluation of political socialization.
Political socialization may be expressed in a singular way, depending on the issue of concern, but it is not derived from any single impact throughout the life of American voters and nonvoters. Qualities and conditions such as gender, race, economic status, education, and religion impact voter behaviors. Indeed, whether or not an individual votes, or takes part in any of the varied available options for participation, is closely allied with the political socialization of individuals and even entire socioeconomic groups.
The Political Compass Web site (http://www.politicalcompass.org) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions:
Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs?
What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.”
To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon
Groups advancing specific viewpoints or interests use lobbying and other methods of persuasion to influence political policies and decisions. They often have the financial resources to make contributions.
Research special interest groups in U.S. politics using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on your research, respond to any one item below:
Many successful interest groups are associated with highly educated, upper-income groups. Which voices of less educated and lower-income groups do you think have the strongest impact on American opinions and on decision makers?
Compare the political parties’ impact on the government with the impact of interest groups
exemplification essay on how to avoid bad eating habits
[Pin It]
Write a 500-750 word essay using exemplification as a method of development. Include a title page and outline with your essay.
Writing Approach
Determine exactly what point you are going to make and write it down in precise terms. Think about why you want to make this point. Develop a thesis statement (pages 47-49 in The St. Martin’s Handbook). Then choose examples and details that count for something, those that move the reader toward some goal.
Choose the best examples that honestly reflect the group or class they represent. Do not pick examples that do not support your thesis. Also, make sure that your examples display all the chief features of whatever you are illustrating.
Do not give your examples and their details in a haphazard manner; give some real thought to arranging them in the best possible order. You may use order of familiarity, climax, importance, or some other order.
If an essay develops a single example, try to have at least three important things to say about it–three areas of discussion.
