How and why is planning a profession that focuses on physical and social aspects of society?

/in /by

There is a picture of the criteria, but the only question to be answered is: “How and why is planning a profession that focuses on physical and social aspects of society?”

I have also attached a word document of notes that I started taking, along with links to sources that I have found that have a lot of information on social/societal planning.

There is also some sources that are on my school’s website that I will have to give you my log in so you can see those.

Emergency Manager

/in /by

Assume the role of emergency manager in your local community. Select a disaster that has or could affect your community. If this disaster has previously affected your community, research the disaster to identify what happened, what factors contributed to declaring it a disaster, how the residents of the community were affected, the extent of the damage, and what mitigation plans were in place prior to the disaster. If your community has not experienced this disaster, consider researching other areas that have faced a similar disaster. It is helpful to recognize how other communities prepared and addressed the disaster. As the emergency manager, develop long-term community recovery plans to support the response and recovery process in the aftermath of the disaster.

Your plans must include the following (1,250-1,500 words):

A description of the disaster that threatens your community.
Components of the current mitigation plans in place to prevent extensive damage and support the recovery efforts.

Potential areas requiring evacuation and/or sheltering. Include possible sheltering options for the various populations, including specials needs, locations, evacuation plans, and volunteer support.

Determine two sources of funding to assist in the response and recovery process. What requirements are necessary to meet conditions of funding opportunities?

How are local businesses expected to contribute to the response and recovery efforts?

Evaluate the volunteer organizations available in your local community. Discuss what is required to receive assistance from the organizations. What services would they offer during the response and recovery process?

What are your short-term recovery expectations?

What are your long-term recovery expectations?

Are there challenges the community could face in the recovery of the disaster?

Research paper: Gender Verification in Sports

Research paper: Gender Verification in Sports

Exploring Biology is a general education course designed to assist students in the development of critical life skills.  One of the goals of this assignment is to assess student competence for each of these objectives:

Written and Oral communication: apply the scientific method to simple problems and identify areas of potential bias and its ethical implications (CCO2),
Critical Analysis and Reasoning: explain diversity of species and within species (CCO7),
Information Literacy:  find, evaluate, use and cite valid sources in scientific reasoning and/or inquiry, and read and summarize information from basic biological publications (CCO3),
Scientific and Quantitative or Logical Reasoning: provide examples in which intellect, scientific method, and technology have been used to understand living things (CCO10),
Local and Global Diversity: explain how scientific advances in medicine, genetics, and biotechnology impact humans in different cultures and how these advances may affect personal decisions (CCO8).
ASSIGNMENT:

Gender verification at the elite level of competition is a controversial topic.  The purpose is to detect male imposters who would potentially have an unfair competitive advantage over female athletes.

The reality of sex-determination is complex, and it has been used differently in sports throughout times with different degrees of unethical practices.

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

Respond to the following in several well-written paragraphs using academic English:

Find a case in sports in between the years 1999-present that created a gender verification controversy (women athletes that failed a chromosomal gender verification test). In your answer include the following:
Name of the Athlete
Country and continent of origin of the athlete.
Include two maps: a political map of the country in which the name of the country is visible and a political map of the continent with the continents name visible in one page.
Provide a proper citation with each image.
Sport event: name, place and year.
Include two maps: a political map of the country in which the name of the country is visible and a political map of the continent with the continents name visible in one page.
Provide a proper citation with each image.

Explain the controversy and reaction answering the following questions:
What was the reaction of the athletes hometown/country when the news came out?
Do you think the athletes cultural environment was supportive?  Why or why not?
Support your answers with properly cited evidence.
If the athlete were from a different culture (for example your own culture), would the reaction be different? How? Explain.
Many athletes have attempted or committed suicide after their sex determination controversy was made public, questioning the ethics of such practice.
How is sex determination in sports done today?
Write at least one argument for sex determination testing in sports and at least one argument against the way sex determination testing in sports is done today.
How could these tests still be considered an unfair practice.
