Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on how social and psychological factors influence a specific aspect of health. This paper illustrates that smoking has been argued to cause health complications which in turn causes serious sociological implications. Sundmacher argues that in the European Union alone, smoking causes over half a million deaths annually. Smoking poses a threat to the health of pregnant women. Although women smokers are likely to quit smoking during pregnancy, the majority go back to in less than one year after giving birth. Elsewhere, evidence gathered from a case-controlled study suggest that smoking could be protective against Alzheimer’s disease. Broe continues to argue that smoking has no net gain in the aspect of cognitive functioning. Such an assertion can be because there exist evidence linking smoking as a risk factor for the development of vascular dementia. In addition, smoking has been associated with a prevalence of lower weight. Reduced tobacco usage is undeniably an important public health goal. The reason behind this is, smoking has been strongly related to health complications and premature mortality. On the other hand, smoking cessation has been linked to weight gain. Reduced prevalence of smoking cases has been suggested as one the risk factor associated with obesity. A rational model of addiction developed by Becker and Murphy offers insights on why people engage in potentially addictive behaviors of smoking. Gender is the first social element of choice that affects the health. Gender can be expressed as the social distinctions between men and women. Although they tend to get sick more than men, women have been argued to live on average five years longer compared to men. They are reported to have more non-fatal chronic illness and more acute illness. Women have higher rates of depression, and this exposes them to use more depression medication. Compares to men, women are more likely to develop high blood pressure and kidney complications.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Comprehensive exam. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The mission of the company is giving customers the best value for their money available anywhere as well as providing them with the necessary information for making informed buying decisions. The company goals for the next five years include: 1. Remaining profitable 2. Business growth and 3. Customer service The business not only considers its own goals but also values the goals of the various stakeholders like its employees, the community, lenders and ultimately its customers. Therefore, the company values positive relations with vendors, the community, employees, lenders, and even though the company has set customer goals, the company values additional goal of improving customer lives by offering them products or services they need. As a manager in the company, I would use leadership theories to develop inner leadership skills and learning basic knowledge through experience. The skills include self-assessment like looking at my personal leadership skills, internal motivators like the thing that motivates to be a leader as well as the personal professional vision. Ultimately, leadership theories focus on whether a leader is real and honest and skills on self-knowledge, regulation and self-concept that focus on values and belief of an individual. Servant leadership asks an employee to do what the leader is willing to do by himself moreover servant leadership ensures a leader works with the employees by employing the skills of empathy, motivation of employees as well as active listening. As well, transformational leadership theories encourage employees, ensure that the employees do their best, and foster close relation with employees by using skills that ensure employees devote to their tasks combined with skills for encouraging employees. The essential group information for ensuring that the group succeeds includes background factors like personality, gender, age attitudes, values and fundamental interpersonal relations orientation. Small groups share three needs that help fulfill tasks and the needs include inclusion, which ensures that a group increases its productivity, accomplish goals and meet more customer needs. For the small group, information on control is useful since it would help deal with the need to lead and develop power over other people. as well affection enhances friendship and closeness between people. Information on age would be essential since communication patterns change with time from childhood through adolescence to adulthood and old age. Personality information of people within the group is helpful to a manager since it offers information on how people behave. therefore, in looking for a dynamic group I would have to figure out how to work with the various personalities of individuals within the group and watching how they perform. Moreover, information on attitudes of individuals within the group is crucial since it enables me act accordingly with each individual and help correct those attitudes that do not support the business initiatives. As well, information on values of individuals within the group is essential to the success of the group in enhancing the company goals and attaining them. Moreover, in the group communication is key point since it affects the development of the group therefore information of the various forms of communication and their possible impacts on the development of the group is essential.

Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on little red riding hood: a comparison of two versions Paper must be at least 750 words. Please, no plagiarized work! This paper shall seek to examine the story of Little Red Riding Hood and shall look at two versions. The original story that was written by the French author Charles Perrault and the version written by the British author, Roald Dahl, will be the two versions that are taken into account in this paper. In the original version that was written by Perrault, there is an explicit statement of misogyny where the protagonist is described in terms that are overtly feminine. This turns into a more egalitarian worldview in the story that is written by Dahl. The transformation from “a little village girl, the prettiest that had ever been seen” (Perrault, n.d.) to a child who “whips a pistol from her knickers” (Dahl, n.d.) is that of a helpless girl-child to one that is aware of her own rights as a girl and as a child. The protagonist in the version of Little Red Riding Hood that Dahl writes is able to take care of herself, unlike the naive child who is unaware of the follies of the world and falls prey to the wiles of the wolf. Dahl’s story tackles two of the concerns that anybody from the modern ages may have about a story like Little Red Riding Hood. During the time that Perrault wrote the original version of the story, children were considered to be beings that were nothing better than adults with inferior intelligences. An understanding of the psychology of children had not developed. This lack is evident in the manner in which the figure of the protagonist is portrayed in Perrault’s story. The lack of intelligence that Little Red Riding Hood demonstrates is characteristic of the child characters that are seen in stories of the seventeenth century that take on a didactic function. The girl child experiences a marginalization that has two aspects. Firstly, there is the aspect that has been discussed in this paper that pertains to the lack of a child-specific compendium of knowledge. Secondly, the marginalization that was specific to women was also extended to the girl-child. This is the reason as to why the narrator of the story, while explicating the moral of the story, makes a specific reference to girls. The moral of the story is thus, a much gendered one and has sexual undertones. The wolf can be seen as a symbol of the dangers that a society presents to the women of that society. In Perrault’s version, the advice that is given to women is to avoid such dangers by staying within the boundaries that are drawn for women by the society. As opposed to this, Dahl’s protagonist is able to handle the dangers that society poses to her safety as a woman.

Hi, need to submit a 250 words paper on the topic History Discussion ch22. First of all, I do not agree to the assertion of General Leonard Wood that the Cubans fully believed and considered the U.S. as their liberator that time. One reason is that many of the Cubans during that time were doing protest and resistance movement for their real freedom. The U.S. do not really gave independence to the Cubans from the Spaniards that time. Instead, Cuba became a new territory of U.S. by the very systematic manner of annexation. Also, the Cubans might not agree with Wood’s notion of U.S. as a “their faithful friend” for it has a different agenda behind its actions towards Cuba. The U.S. said that the reason for their action towards Cuba is primarily for humanitarian purposes and to help the country improve and develop their welfare from their liberation from Spain. However, it is also inevitable to consider that the U.S. sees a big economic potential from the country and they want to use it for their own benefit. Through this, they will not only gain economic power but also supports their notion of expansionism. 2. The factors that shaped the American foreign policy in the late 19th century were based on the different rationales for imperialism. It includes the racism and social Darwinism, righteousness, Mahanism and economics. For racism and social Darwinism, they believed that the Anglo-Saxon race is superior to any other race and their influence must be imposed to other countries for these countries to develop and ascertain national stability. For righteousness, they see to it that their religion, with American influence, should be propagated to other countries as well. Mahanism refers to the belief that the national security of the U.S. needed a substantial military, economic and territorial expansion. And lastly for economics, the policies to be made should provide outright access for the U.S. to foreign markets, raw material and investment opportunities. The factors are interrelated because the entire factor should be taken into consideration before the American foreign policy can be made. In general, the several American foreign policies that time were primarily based on the notion of expansionism and U.S.’s goal for gaining international power. 3. The American politicians and diplomats are actually divided regarding the American foreign policies imposed that time. The political and diplomatic system of the U.S. is separated to whether they are Republican or Democratic. The Republicans are actually very supportive of the policies because it favors their stand on expansionism. They believe that the U.S. can gain international power by expansionism and that it would greatly influence the world. However, the Democrats were not so supportive of the policies for they do not fully approve the concept of expansionism. In relation to this conflict, the U.S. also became segregated on which party to support. Several private groups and government institution supported either parties and even the national elections that time are also affected by this issue. Depending on the winning party, the manner of imposing and implementing foreign policy is varied. However, in general, the concept of expansionism was greatly implied in any American foreign policy. 4. I think that it is very obvious today on whether to what extent was the U.S. emergence as an imperial power. Today, the U.S. influence on the world is very remarkable and potent. From a supposedly developing country after their liberation from European influences, America has now grown into an imperial superpower. They are very good in making policies and even very efficient in implementing it. Its earlier policies and national development were primarily done to improve its own welfare. However, their big steps into implementing foreign policies and extending its welfare with the concept of expansionism have given great benefits to the country. It has now gained its place in the world and is recognized in almost all countries. The country is even considered as having a great and important part in every decision for international welfare. 5. The U.S. is very effective in their interventions in the Latin America. Their primary objective is to help the countries (Cuba, Panama, etc) in their development from the Spaniard colonization. Using American foreign policies, their goal was to keep the Latin American countries as part of their territory and spread their influence to these countries. Another objective of conquering the Latin America countries is for their own benefit as well. They see a great economic advantage by making these countries their territory. The U.S. can have the resources they needed without spending too much on production and labor. They have also gained some political control with these countries and even have influenced their national policies. 6. The policies of other nations have greatly shaped the development of the American foreign policy. The well known policy which has great impact on American foreign policy is the Open Door policy of China. This has the greatest impact since this policy have greatly boosted the development of the U.S. welfare. Since this policy has taken great interest from other countries, like Japan and Russia, as well, the U.S. has greatly improved its foreign policy so that the greatest benefit will be towards them. They have modified their relations with China and imposed policies that would give the China an impression that the U.S. wants both countries to benefit from these provisions. The U.S. greatly took advantage of this policy and they are very successful with it. Reference: LaFeber, Walter. The New Empire: An Interpretation of American Expansion, 1860-1898.
