Health Effects on the Built Environment
In this week’s readings, you have learned how policy, systems, and environmental change approaches are promising and essential to addressing health inequities; however, to be optimally effective, such changes also require strategic actions to reduce or eliminate any barriers populations experiencing health disparities face. Strategic actions can also help to avoid any negative unintended consequences of such changes.
“For example, inaccessible or nonexistent sidewalks and bicycle or walking paths contribute to sedentary habits. These habits lead to poor health outcomes such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer. Today, approximately two thirds of Americans are overweight” (Impact of the Built Environment,” 2011).
To encourage healthy community design, health educators can learn how to collaborate across multiple disciplines such as transportation, urban planning, architecture, and public health law. These interactions aid in the development of guidelines, support pilot projects, and educate current and future planners and public health professionals about designing healthier communities.
For this Discussion, consider the community in which you live.
Post by Day 3 an example of and explain how your built environment affects your health (positively or negatively). Provide recommendations of what could be added or removed from your built environment to enhance or improve your health or the health of the community. Justify the rationale for your recommendations.
Remember to begin interacting with your colleagues in the Discussion no later than Day 5 and continue engaging through Day 7 by responding to one or more colleagues by providing an additional recommendation and/or policy that could enhance or improve your colleague’s built environment.
Support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Skills for the Future Health Educator
Throughout this course, you examined attributes of health educators that contribute to effective health education practice. You also examined NCHEC’s Seven Areas of Responsibility for Health Educators and identified opportunities to develop those skills that you may not possess or that you would like to refine. As you consider emerging trends within the field of health education, what role does the health educator play in promoting social change for this emerging trend? How will considerations for addressing this emerging trend inform the types of health education programs a health educator will implement?
For this Discussion, reflect on emerging trends within health education. Consider how health educators advocate for social change in addressing emerging trends and the skills health educators should possess in promoting social change.
Post by Day 3 a description of two areas that you believe are the most important emerging trends within health education in promoting social change and explain why. Explain how you, as a health educator, would advocate for social change in addressing these health trends. Explain what skills a health educator should possess to address emerging health trends and how those skills will affect the delivery of health education. Be specific and provide examples.

Presentation of Research
Evaluators should expand upon considerations of research rigor and also be mindful of the larger context in which they are working. Evaluators should be mindful of the effect evaluations have on policy making. To ensure that evaluation results are useful, evaluators should consider how their findings can be used to inform program and clinical practice from the beginning of their research.
Guidelines for maximizing utilization of evaluation include:
Evaluators should understand the cognitive styles of decision makers. A way to achieve this is to tailor reports to the specific audience(s).
Evaluation results must be timely and available when needed.
Evaluations must respect stakeholders’ program commitments. The usefulness of evaluations depends on wide participation in the evaluation design process to ensure sensitivity to various stakeholders’ interests.
Utilization of dissemination plans should be part of the evaluation design, this include short and long-term recommendations.
Evaluators and decision-makers must share an understanding of the purposes of the study and agree on the criteria by which successful use of the findings may be judged.
(Rossi, Lipsey, & Freeman, 2004, p. 416)
For this Discussion, you reflect on how evaluations can be used, who are the stakeholders, what methods will you use in your evaluation, and how will you disseminate your results to ensure that your recommendations are adequately considered.
Post by Day 4 a brief summary of your Clarksville program.

Then describe how you might present your process and outcomes evaluation results to stakeholders associated with your Clarksville program.

Identify two of the stakeholders and describe how you might present negative results to each type of stakeholder in a constructive manner.

Provide suggestions on how these findings can be used in the program and whether you believe that the suggested changes are likely to be implemented.

My Clarksville Project:

Clarksville is the fifth-largest city in the Montgomery County, Tennessee with a population reported of 132,963 in the U.S Census in 2010 and predicted to be around 146,806 in 2014 (United State Census Bureau, 2015). The small city is growing concern due to its ever increasing crime rates which is a total of 5,061 (Annually) out of which 750 incidents are recorded as highly violent instances. Which are broadly 543 assaults; 6 are murder cases, 84 rape cases, and 115 robbery cases. According to our research of Tennessee and other state lists there were 187 registered sex offenders living in Clarksville, Tennessee as of August 31, 2015. The reported numbers for sex offender with respect to sex offenders is 762 to 1 (City-data.com, 2015).

Domestic violence is referred to as abusive behavior displayed in any relationship that is part of the nature or dominance of one partner to dictate or drive terms over the other intimate partner. There are various types of domestic violence be it physical, economic, sexual, psychological, and influential power play. It is started off by injuring, manipulating, isolating, terrorizing, threaten, blaming, torturing and coercing. The city is quite high on crime rates even after the city is known as an industrial city (cityofclarksville.com, 2015).

There is the need to mobilize the community to prevent domestic violence. The community would be encouraged to strengthen informal social networks. These networks consist of family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and other religious, civic, and community ties. Domestic violence intervention strategies focus on strengthening existing informal social networks or developing new ones through volunteer, peer support, and mentorship programs. These strategies focus on building healthy relationships to prevent violence from occurring, reduce isolation so that problems can be more quickly identified, and encourage community members to support one another in promoting nonviolence.

The law enforcers do not get proper information and mostly people withdraw the complaint saying it was a mistake and therefore the guilty are not brought to justice, the suppression causes the concern to grow. Support group and other methods of assistance need to be shared. Community groups are there to protect child care and other supports. So an awakening is needed to prevent such abuse in the name of comfort. Various shelters are already part of the program that is being done by the government itself (U.s Department of Housing and Urban Development).

I. Perform ALL of the following tasks:

(1) Select one or two films from the course syllabus, and one or two films from the Supplemental Films List (see below), for a total of THREE films. The films may be from the same era or different eras, and they may be from either the Hero genre or the Monster genre, or both. If there is a film you would like to analyze that is not on the syllabus or Supplemental Films List, you will need to obtain the Instructor?s permission to write about it. Watch them. Take notes.

(2) Contrast and compare the Discourse of the Three films you have chosen. Ask yourself what they are saying. In order to make a convincing argument, you should apply, at minimum, Genre Theory, Narrative Theory, Structuralist Analysis, and Ideological Analysis to make a Preferred Reading of the films. Feminist Film Criticism, Semiotics, Film Aesthetics, and Psychoanalytic Film Theory may also be applied, as warranted. What do the films say about Heroism and/or Monstrosity?

(3) Contextualize the films in their historical moment of production. What do the films tell us about the era(s) in which they were produced? What does your Ideological Analysis (from Task #2, above) tell us about their relationship to Hegemony? How are the films similar or different? What do they tell us about the ways in which things have (or haven?t) changed in American culture, over time?

(4) Enrich (and possibly elevate) your own discussion with references to the discussions of Heroism and/or Monstrosity from David Skal and Grant Morrison. It is part of the purpose of the assignment for you to convince me you have completed the assigned course readings. Papers which cite the course lectures instead of the appropriate readings will be marked down for laziness. Likewise, papers which make only perfunctory, skimpy, and unconvincing references to the readings will not receive a favorable grade. Your discussion should be informed by the readings, especially if any of the films you have chosen are discussed in the books (check their indexes). Your paper should reflect both a grasp of the course methods (Tasks #2 and #3) and the scholarship to which I?ve introduced you, in order for your own papers to count as scholarship themselves, and not mere opinion.

The two discussions of Heroism and/ or Monstrosity come from the works of:

Morrison, Grant. Supergods. Trade Paperback edition. New York: Siegel & Grau (Random House), 2012.

Skal, David J. The Monster Show. Revised edition. New York: Faber & Faber, Inc. (Farrar, Strauss, and Giroux), 2001.

(5) Begin writing your paper. If you attempt to write the paper without completing steps 1-4 first, you will have a difficult time. Organize your paper in three sections: (A) Your Claim (i.e. what you think, e.g. ?The films I chose demonstrate the persistence of racism in American culture,? or ?The films I chose show a relocation of Monstrosity from Europe to Corporate America,? or ?The films I chose show an uneasy transition for Heroism over the last 15 years,? etc.); (B) Your Evidence (i.e. how you know, e.g. the information produced by completing tasks 1-4; ?A structuralist analysis shows us?? etc. This section will probably take up most of your paper. This is where you might also include material from Skal and Morrison, if it supports your claim (or if you want to dispute some of their claims!); and, lastly, (C) Why it matters (or the answer to the ?So what?? question, e.g. ?If heroism becomes a personal matter unrelated to the common good, and the viewing public follows suit, lacking a model of civic action, how can the nation be expected to achieve a more perfect union??. This is another place where an invocation of (or argument with) Skal and/or Morrison might be appropriate and useful.

If you have trouble coming up with a clear claim, you are not ready to begin writing. One thing that can help you start forming a claim is to think about what made you choose those three films in the first place. And usually, when performing your analyses in Tasks 2-4, the evidence will begin to suggest a claim, just as having a claim will help you decide which evidence is relevant and which isn?t. Apologies if that sounds like circular reasoning, but there are gestalt/holistic aspects to this kind of thought process. Look for patterns of discourse that either repeat or contradict each other. Or, move on to the next step?

(6) Before turning in the paper for credit, make sure (A) you have completed each of the above tasks, as directed; (B) that you have proofread your paper for errors; (C) that your paper satisfies each of the Grading Criteria (see below); and (D) that you are not in violation of the Research Parameters or Academic Honesty Policy (see below).

II. Grading Criteria
Your paper will be evaluated on the following criteria: (1) Degree of mastery of the course theories, concepts, and methods of analysis; (2) An appropriate level of scholarship; (3) Apparent depth of thought and seriousness of approach; (4) fair and intelligent handling of the evidence; (5) Clarity of thought and written expression, including error-free spelling and grammar; and (6) Fidelity to and thoroughness in completion of the assignment (as directed).

III. Research Parameters
This assignment asks you to think for yourself, and perform your own analysis of the films you choose (primary sources). For the most part, it does not ask you to find what other people think by looking it up on the Internet or in the Library (those would be secondary sources). The only authorized secondary sources for use in the course are Turner, Skal, and Morrison. You should not need any other secondary sources to complete this assignment.
However, it is remotely possible that you would want to make use of additional secondary sources. In all cases (Turner, Skal, Morrison, or whomever) you must cite your secondary sources properly. That is, you must use internal citations in the MLA style (Author, Page number) and then give a full Bibliographic entry in your Works Cited page. Anytime you paraphrase or summarize another author?s ideas, you must cite them immediately thereafter using an internal citation in the body of the paragraph. If you use another author?s ideas and exact language (including a phrase), you must both cite them and use quotation marks around their words. If you use any secondary sources, give credit where it is due and cite them properly.
IV. Format
The papers should be 7-10 pages long (plus a Works Cited page, including your films and any secondary sources), typed, double-spaced, with fonts and margins of a reasonable size. You may use sub-headings to help organize the paper and signal transitions. Citations should be in MLA style. DO NOT USE APA STYLE.

1.Time for an honest moment here, stop and think about how much advertising influences your consumption decisions. When is the last time you can remember choosing one product over another because of advertising?
2.What role does advertising play in influencing consumption in monopolistic competition? Does the impact of advertising allow for some price leverage by firms in this market structure? Why or why not?
3.Is the United States truly an economy that promotes competition? Think about the markets where major oligopolies exist, for instance soft drinks/fast foods and automobile manufacturing, is there really a free market place or do oligopolies/major corporations dominate our economy?
4.Why is the government so quick to regulate monopolies and potential monopolies? What are the major concerns that arise from this market structure?

The ‘points for focus’ suggestions are illustrative rather than mandatory. Consider how they might help you–but also try to be inventive and raise your own issues!
This document give advice or make proposals for improved practice. Your objective is to understand the advice and any reasons given for it, and critically analyse the value of that advice.
Dissertations are not normally based on proposals for practice, but they can include proposals for practice if those ideas are then tested in some way. For example, you might have an idea for a better way to ask people for a particularly type of estimate, and you could test that by getting people to make those estimates in your suggested way and in other ways
