CONNECTION, COLLABORATION, AND COMMUNITY

/in /by

Case 1 is an essay in which students will communicate using their own thoughts, words, and ideas to demonstrate their ability to interpret text and organize ideas. In addition, the student will demonstrate the ability to integrate others words and ideas coherently into ones own writing, using APA Style format.

Students will analyze and interpret the thoughts, words, and ideas of others, draws conclusions, and solve problems to demonstrate their ability to think critically and creatively in a disciplined and evaluative manner.

The assigned reading/viewing background materials included such thoughts, words, ideas, and/or concepts as poverty, non-profit, philanthropy, giving, happiness, charity, champion, altruism, and community.

Select two or more of these societal constructs in which you see some sort of connection. For example, how is philanthropy connected to community happiness connected to giving or poverty connected to community?

In a well-organized and well-supported essay, discuss where, how, and why that connection exists in our society today. Be sure to provide specific examples to support your point of view, perhaps your own experience in your community, at work, or through your own pursuits. On the other hand, maybe you do not see a connection between many of these concepts, while there should be. In this case, an essay might address ways in which society needs to improve as we consider ways to find connections between these concepts and societal constructs.

Analyzing Developmental Theory

/in /by

In this assignment, I will analyze a developmental theory relevant to childrens growth and development that was introduced in the module.

Create a 3- to 5-page paper (not including the title or references pages) in a Word document for my response.
Include an introduction and a conclusion in my paper.
Step 1.
Select a classic developmental theory addressed in the module.

Step 2.
Locate three recent research articles on your selected theory. Follow these guidelines:

Choose peer-reviewed articles preferably published within the last 7 years. Depending on your theory you may need to expand to the last 10 years.
Search for seminal articles by the theorists themselves. These may be more than 10 years old but will help you to better understand the theory.
Step 3.
Provide an APA citation and summary for each source.

Step 4.
Next, provide a detailed comparison of the articles, addressing how each article utilizes the classic theory and how it applies to working in early childhood education. Answer these questions in relation to each article:

What does the article say about the theory?
What developmental domain was addressed?
What age of individuals does the theory address?
What questions did the researchers ask in their study?
Who were their subjects?
What did the researchers find (answers to their questions)?
Step 5.
Finally, explain the aspects of the theory which are relevant to my practice and the ways in which I would use them.

Fecal Accidents in Community Swimming Pool Case Study

Fecal Accidents in Community Swimming Pool Case Study
CDC reference if needed

During June of 2000, several children in Delaware, Ohio, were hospitalized at Grady Memorial General Hospital (GMH) after experiencing watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Dr. McDermott, a new gastroenterologist at GMH, who also had a strong interest in infectious diseases, was asked to examine the children. Their illness lasted from 1 to 44 days, and nearly half of them complained of intermittent bouts of diarrhea. By July 20, over 150 individualsmainly children and young adults between the ages of 20 and 40experienced similar signs or symptoms. Dr. McDermott suspected that their illness was due to a microbial infection and queried the Delaware City County Health Department (DCCHD) to investigate this mysterious outbreak further.

Dr. McDermott helped the DCCHD team in surveying individuals hospitalized for intermittent diarrhea. They questioned individuals about recent travel, their sources of drinking water, visits to pools and lakes, swimming behaviors, contact with sick persons or young animals, and day-care attendance. The DCCHDs investigation reported that the outbreaks were linked to a swimming pool located at a private club in central Ohio. The swimming pool was closed on July 28. A total of 700 clinical cases among residents of Delaware County and three neighboring counties were identified during the entire span of the outbreak that began late June and continued through September. At least five fecal accidents were observed during that time period at the pool. Only one of these accidents was of diarrheal origin. Outbreaks of gastrointestinal distress associated with recreational water activities have increased in recent years, with most being caused by the organism in this case.

Do you know what microorganism might be the cause of the outbreak? How can a single fecal accident contaminate an entire pool and cause so many clinical cases of gastrointestinal distress?
