W1 Discussion: That’s a Lot of Issues!

No unread replies.No replies.

As we begin our discussion on a few of the global issues that exist in our world, we are going to start with an overview of global issues as a whole. There is no way we could discuss every issue that exists in our world or all the different iterations of that issue by country or continent. However, it is important we get a basic understanding of global issues that are facing the current generation as well as potential implications for future generations.

The United Nations (UN) is considered to be one of the truly universal global organizations, and world leaders, NGOs (non-governmental organizations), nonprofits, and advocates meet within the UN to discuss and address issues facing our world.

For this week’s primary discussion, we are going to look at what is a Global Issue and what issues the United Nations view as the highest priorities.

Information Systems

What’s in IT for me? Essay (100 pts) In class, we will discuss at length the role of technology in business and explore how it impacts the various aspects of an organization. I also want to ensure that you understand just how it can impact you, personally. Thus, with this assignment, you will explore the relevance of information technology for your chosen field of study (or a field that you might be considering).At the end of each chapter of your textbook is a short section called “What’s in I.T. for me?” These sections demonstrate the relevance of key chapter topics for difference functional areas: accounting, finance, marketing, etc. In this assignment, you will be creating your own “What’s in IT for me?” and provide a bit more detail than these short sections in your book. I want you to explore how information technology influences what you will do when you finish college. You might research new hardware, software, or how IT enables business processes. You could look at the impact various IT has on decision making, collaboration, or customer relationship management within your field. Regardless of which angle you pursue you’ll produce a 3-4 page essay detailing what’s in I.T. for you. Your essay should include the following information: Describe your chosen field of study and the work you expect or would like to do within that field. Introduce the technology angle that is of interest to you. It could be hardware, software, systems, the impact of some new cutting edge technology, implications from the web and social networking…pretty much anything that interests you, as long as you can tie it to IT. Provide a detailed description of the IT. This may require a bit of research on your part. Watch some videos, look for recent articles, maybe even look at some academic research. Describe how this IT impacts your chosen field. How does it benefit? Are there any disadvantages? What are people currently using? Would/does this IT change the way business is done? Does it create new opportunities? Is there some huge problem this addresses? You don’t have to answer all of these questions – they’re just to get you thinking about the impact of a technology. Why is this interesting and/or important? Think about presenting this information to a high school senior who is considering majoring in your field. You want to get them excited about the opportunities IT affords. Sources! Don’t forget to cite your sources. References to articles, figures, numbers, or specific software systems should be cited in the text this this: (Smith, 2013), with full citations on a separate page of your document. Like this: Smith, J. (2013, September 2). Technology is Awesome. Time Magazine, 171(4), 54-60.It doesn’t matter which citation format you use, but a standard is the APA or MLA style. Google this if you’re not familiar with citation formatting. Formatting should be consistent across your citations.Try to be creative and have fun with this assignment. I know that can be hard when you’re writing, but it helps to find a topic that interests you. Do some research before you settle on a topic. I encourage you to look through the end-of-chapter “What’s in IT for me?” sections for
Fall 2021 – IS2080C: Lecture Assignmentideas that you might pursue, but you aren’t limited to these topics. If you question whether a topic you’ve chosen is appropriate, just ask. I also encourage you to start on this early. One last thing: Writing matters! While you won’t have points deducted for every single grammatical error, your overall grade will reflect the care you have taken to ensure a professional-sounding, accurate and well-written essay. Format Double-spaced throughout. No blank lines between paragraphs. Font: Arial Font size: 11 Margins: one inch margin all around Length: Minimum of 3 full pages, maximum of 4 pages.

Application Problem #3 – Week 7 (Early Life Course & Adverse Childhood Experiences)

by | Mar 14, 2022 | Subjects>English, Writing Styles>APA 7th edition

During Week 7 we cover the Early Life Course and how the Lifecourse Perspective and theory informs adult health outcomes. We also take a look at Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their relationship to the Social Determinants of Health (e.g. what are ACEs, how do ACEs and toxic stress affect the brain, and a person’s health across a lifetime). The field of public health focuses much of its efforts on health promotion and disease prevention. However, these efforts can take a long time to show their effects (e.g., years or even decades). 

After reviewing the Zoom lecture on Early Life Course: Theory, Models and Application, the article by Shonkoff JP et al. Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and the Childhood Roots of Health Disparities: Building a New Framework for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, and the video by Dr. Nadine-Burke Harris on “How Childhood Trauma Affects Health Across a Lifetime” (and other course materials you find applicable) please answer the following questions:

Questions:

Respond to all 3 questions below. Be specific about which readings or videos you are referencing from Week 7 in your write-up or video.

1.     Based on the assertion that the promotion of health and prevention of disease in adults begins in the early years of life, what factors or mechanisms do you think might explain the links between early adversity (e.g., ACEs, toxic stress, trauma) and adult health and disease?

2.     What role do you think adverse childhood experiences (or early adversity) plays in health disparities across racial or ethnic groups and/or underserved populations?

3.     What are we currently doing or could be doing in public health to reduce and buffer the effects of adverse childhood experiences in early childhood, and among those most at risk (e.g., low SES, exposure to neighborhood violence, etc.)?

*******************************************************

Please Remember: 

·        Analysis Prompts can be completed in a written or video format (your choice)! 

·        For written format, the summary should be no more than one page (single spaced) OR two pages (double spaced). 

·        Course content and material from the posted Weekly Work Plan, including lectures, videos, and readings should be used for the assignment. 

·        Include references, either written or verbally depending on your chosen format. In-text citations, using numbers is useful for the written format instead of writing references out like this – (ex. Author Last Name et al., 2021). For one page written (single spaced), page 2 should be your reference page. If you do two pages (double spaced) then page 3 will be your reference page.
