Start by reading and following these instructions:

Quickly skim the questions or assignment below and the assignment rubric to help you focus.

Read the required chapter(s) of the textbook and any additional recommended resources. Some answers may require you to do additional research on the Internet or in other reference sources. Choose your sources carefully.

Consider the course discussions so far and any insights gained from it.

1. Create your Assignment submission and be sure to cite your sources if needed, use APA style as required, and check your spelling.
2. Assignment:
3. Population Health Advocacy
4. Human trafficking, extreme poverty, preventable diseases, the opioid crisis and the lack of adequate low-income housing are a few current societal concerns worthy of social change. Nurses and healthcare leaders are in a good position to shape and influence health care policy.

Think of a cause you believe in strongly. Access the website of your elected officials either at the local, state, or federal level using the following link: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials/ or use the website of your choice. Explore some of the issues and committees your legislators are involved in and select at least one that interest you or align with your beliefs. You may also contact your legislator’s office and speak to his or her legislative assistant by calling the U.S. Capitol switchboard operator at (202) 224-3121 for the Senate and (202) 225-3121 for the House. Legislator assistants are very knowledgeable about the legislator’s agenda and can provide a wealth of information. 

This assignment will be at least 1500 words or more. This week reflect on advocacy, collaborative partnerships with other health care practitioners and stakeholders, and the policy making process and write a paper that addresses the following:

Describe the policy issue, policy problem of interest or a particular bill that your legislator has introduced

Elaborate on why the policy matters and what you can possibly do to strengthen the policy? 

Briefly define the role you would play as an advocate for the healthcare consumer and healthcare professionals.

Explain how the policy impacts the public at large or a particular population. 

What stakeholders would you collaborate with to promote the cause? 

As with any new technology, social, ethical, legal, and economic issues must be taken into consideration. In the development of alternative energy technologies and the efficiency of industrial chemical reactions, there are numerous issues to explore. In this assignment, you will research and evaluate an issue related to energy change, then communicate your findings in the form of a research paper.

Instructions

Your task is research and communicate your findings on an issue related to energy change. There are multiple parts to this assignment. It is strongly recommend that you complete each sequentially to ensure that your teacher has an opportunity to review and provide feedback on all components of your report.

Part I: Planning Your Research Paper

1. Select a topic to research and evaluate as a part of this assignment. You may select any issue that relates to energy change. Possible topics are provided if you are having difficulty finding a topic.
2. Create a plan or outline for your paper that includes your thesis and the three main points you intend to present in support of your thesis.
3. Submit a list of three resources you wish to use to write your paper. Ensure your resources are listed in APA style.
4. Submit your completed research paper outline to the Dropbox. Your teacher will review and provide you feedback on how to proceed with your research paper

Possible Topics

• The cooling of homes and commercial building in summer requires more energy than heating the same homes in the winter. Thus, brownouts are more likely to occur during hot summer months than the colder winter. However, new technologies use deep water cooling as an alternative to conventional air conditioning systems in office towers. This significantly reduces energy use and its environmental impact.
• For many years, Indigenous communities in Northern Canada have relied on technologies that use fossil fuels. This has resulted in serious negative impacts on the environment and health of these communities. Recently, alternative energy technologies using wind and solar power have been used to reduce the dependence of these communities on fossil fuels. Wind turbines in the Ranking Inlet of Nunavut and solar walls like the one installed at a community centre in the Northwest Territories are examples of alternative energy projects being implemented in Indigenous communities.
• Bleaches such as hydrogen peroxide and chlorine are used when fibres are processed into paper or textiles. Concentrations of these substances can harm the environment, but if enzymes are added to these processes as biocatalysts, fewer chemicals are needed, less energy is consumer, and there is less environmental impact.

Part II: Writing Your Research Paper

1. Write your research paper, incorporating the feedback and direction from your teacher. Your research paper should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Typically, you would have one paragraph for each of your introduction and conclusion. The body of your research paper can have multiple paragraphs. The focus of the body of your paper should be the three main points you submitted to your your teacher in Part I.
2. Include any relevant data you obtained from your research to support your main ideas. Ensure your data is obtained from a credible source.
3. Use in-text citations to reference any information you wish to present that is not your own original idea, such as data and theories/opinions of others.
4. Submit a reference list that includes all the sources you used in your research paper. Ensure that both your in-text citations and reference list are completed according to APA style.

• Part I: Your outline for your paper, including your thesis and three main points.
• Part I: Three sources you intend to use to write your research paper.
• Part II: Your research paper.
• Part II: Your complete reference list in APA style.

You will see an estimate of your actual footprint in tons of carbon dioxide emitted by your household per year. You will also see an average of what other similar households in your area emit and also a percentage of how much your footprint is above or below that average. (Feel free to share these results in this discussion board if you would like.)

Next, run at least three different scenarios (for example where you make changes in the number of calories of the different food categories or reduce the car mileage while increasing public transportation mileage or how much you spend on cloths or appliances per month etc.). Note how your footprint changes and compares with similar households in your area.  https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-h…

Write a discussion about whether or not a science such as astronomy can be pursued in a “holistic” manner.

My online dictionary defines “holistic” as follows: characterized by the belief that the parts of something are intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole. (More specifically, in medicine, it is defined as follows: characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of the disease.)

You have almost certainly already encountered the word “holistic” in a familiar context such as medicine. The implications of the word will depend to some extent on one’s perspective, but in general it would seem very likely to most listeners that a holistic viewpoint would indeed have value. Most of us would accept that the well-being of a patient might directly benefit from a doctor’s attention to the individual’s personality, psychology and state of mind, even if the specific treatment is focused on some ailment with a standard well-defined clinical course of treatment that has been proven through past application.

In this discussion, considered thoughts about whether holistic approaches may be more insightful, valuable, and productive than those with a more focused technical and mathematical underpinning. We will ask you to frame these remarks in the specific context of astronomy (the subject of this course), but also invite you to speculate on how that may depend on the discipline in question.

Consider and reflect upon the relevance of “holistic” approaches to astronomy, but also (if you wish) to other sciences of various kinds: from the life sciences such as biology and ecology, through the more technical engineering and physical disciplines, to very abstract pursuits such as the aforementioned pure mathematics. Do you believe, and can you provide a justification, to the contention that all science disciplines are open to broadly holistic approaches? Or are some of them, innately and uniquely, simply not amenable to such perspectives? Where does astronomy fit in this spectrum?
