Infectious viral diseases (ex. pandemics) during varied time periods can affect populations differently with regards to medical treatments, social behavioral recommendations and cultural concepts. For this project, you are to do comparative research on the present COVID-19 virus (2020) with the 1918 viral pandemic and how they affected/affect the United States populations.        Firstly, examine the etiology of the viruses.        Secondly, importantly examine the complex social, cultural and medical factors affecting treatments and outcomes for both time periods.                    What were (1918 virus) and are (Covid-19 virus) medical interventions and social behavioral interventions during the time periods?                    What was the response time frame to the viruses?                    Were there (1918 virus), are there (Covid-19 virus) certain ethnicities and/or groups more effected? And How?                      Were there more/less unification as to interventions regionally across the United States (explain)?                    In your analyses, are there factors regardless of time period that appear to be consistent and/or different with regards to stigma and fear? Citations in APA form (ex. Smith, 2008, p.128) are to be included as well as a Bibliography.

Lead with a hook or an attention getter such as a rhetorical question, statistic, definition, humor or a statement (Hacker, 2003, p. 14). Include background information or orientation. Lastly, form a thesis statement that will include your main points (Hacker, p.13). BODY 1. How does the speaker’s background/experiences influence his/her perception of the topic? 2. What are they saying about their self-concept and/or their co-culture and how it relates to other co-cultures and realities? 3.

Discuss how the speaker avoided or displayed bias in the speech. Defend your position. CONCLUSION The conclusion should review and summarize your main points and leave the audience with something to think about (Hacker, p.16).

The concept and organization of global health rests on a contradiction: It may be universal in its aims—to eradicate infectious diseases across the planet and prevent new ones from spreading, to improve generally, on average, the health of the world’s poorest citizens, and so on—yet it must address itself to innumerable local situations, where extant health care capacities, social-political-economic organization, culture, climate, terrain, etc. radically differ from one another. How has the discipline and practice of global health addressed itself to this gap? How have/can medical anthropological approaches contribute(d) to bridging the global and local? Think in terms of concepts, approaches, and methods. Give examples.

Writing Assignment: Gender & Society Paper For this paper students will explore 1 of 2 topics: Gender, Toys and Color Coding OR Sexuality and the Media and write a 1-page response paper. OPTION 1: Gender Coding: For this assignment you will investigate gender stereotyping and structure and discuss how color coding and symbolism reinforces gender and play. Toys, clothes, décor, and accessories have a significant influence on our notions of gender expression. How are gender constructions changing in America? OPTION 2: Sexuality & the Media: For the second paper option, students will have the opportunity to explore sexuality and the media. Students will be expected to watch a TV show, movie or read a current magazine and identify perceptions of sexuality that are being conveyed in today’s culture. How do images and language affect gender socialization and ideas of sexuality? Do you agree or disagree with conceptions of gender/sexuality being presented? Are they relevant and authentic to everyday life? What are the implications of these images?

1. Prepare a competitor analysis, which should include relevant financials if they are available (refer to Exhibits 5 and 6), and your view on their competitive position in the marketplace and their top four (4) strengths on the corporate innovation radar (a grid view / spreadsheet / diagram or combo of those should help). How would you define Whole Foods’ industry? Who are Whole Foods competitors and why? 2. How would you describe Whole Foods’ strategy? What is their own position within the 5-forces versus the industry as a whole / how are they competing? What individual value chain activities (where they create the value) in the case support your point of view? (Be specific.) 3. How attractive is Whole Foods’ current market position? Is it sustainable, why or why not? (Be specific about their position and why, using financial data to support you viewpoint for or against the case — and “throw the book at me,” when it comes to sustainable competitive advantage, VRIO, innovation radar.) 4. What do the financial ratios in Exhibit 4 tell you about the past performance of Whole Foods? How informative is the historical ratios for Whole Foods’ prospective performance? (2 pages maximum) 5. Examine Exhibit 7 in detail and answer the questions listed below (use this Exhibit 7 Final Spreadsheet and expand upon the spreadsheet with your own calculations to support your point of view — my clue is: % (percentages): How important are each of the underlying financial assumptions in the ROA and financial forecast? (Look at the trend lines, what do you believe is relevant?) What assumptions play the biggest role in driving the anticipated improvements in ROA? (Assumptions such as: margins, asset turnover, growth, Ebit, stores.) Are the assumptions reasonable, why or why not?
