Naturally occurring risk

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Write a 4-5 page paper, based on the natural environmental health risk selected in Week 3.

Explain why this naturally occurring risk is important enough for you to research it. This may include information from your risk analyses in Week 3 or other reasons, such as the number of stakeholders, recent incidents, or personal experience.
Analyze three important scientific, technological, or societal issues pertaining to your chosen natural environmental risk. Justify the importance of these issues based on your research, and provide references to sources that support your analysis. To help guide your research and selection of these issues, note the following:
Scientific issues may include the fields of science involved in the study or mitigation of this risk or other issues.
Technological issues may include, for example, the types of technology that are available to determine and mitigate the risk.
Societal issues may include, for example, socioeconomic impacts and disparities, geographic occurrence, and others.
Recommend a specific mitigation strategy for the natural environmental risk based on your comparison of at least two specific mitigation programs, policies, or strategies you discover through research.
Use at least four sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.

  1. Present the general issue grounded in the research literature that leads to the need for the study.
  2. Clearly describe and document the problem prompting the study. Include appropriate published or relevant primary sources to document the existence of a problem worthy of Ph.D. doctoral-level research. Please consider: what perspective is represented? For example, is the problem an individual-level problem, an organizational problem, an industry problem, or a social problem?
  3. Consider the theories relevant to predict, explain, and understand the problem.
  4. To identify and articulate a problem, consider the potential negative consequences to the field or stakeholders if the proposed research is never conducted.

This TED talk may help you consider the implications of this question: https://www.ted.com/talks/emily_nagoski_the_truth_about_unwanted_arousal Links to an external site.

  1. Respond to the following in a Primary Post of at least 200 words:

What factors must be present for sex to add to a relationship? What are the consequences of moving too quickly toward sexual expression within a relationship? What are the benefits, costs and/or risks of casual sex without a significant relationship? Any good resources: links?

Given the family’s obligation to participate in gender role socialization, and the fact that (data about sexual identity is rapidly changing) about 6.9% of adults identify as LGBT (2.1 gay/lesbian, 4.1 bisexual and .7 transsexual), how do/should families prepare their children to understand and participate in the gender identity complexity of today’s society? It is valuable to note that over 20% of Millennials identify as Q.

  1. Respond to the following in a Primary Post of at least 200 words:

With median family income at about 70,000 per year (about what an E5 makes with BAH), and median individual income hanging at about 50,000 per year (should note that 30% of individual earners make less than 20,000 per year (think single parents), how do you suggest families below the median organize life in order to get the most bang for the buck?–What are strategies for making what seems like too little money stretch to allow a family to function well? Any good resources: links?

‘Risk Planning’

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Richard was very indulgent and paid little attention to his health. He went out on shopping sprees that he and Monica couldn’t afford. He was overweight. He used alcohol excessively and smoked. His doctor had warned him of his unhealthy habits including a high cholesterol level, which placed him at risk of a major illness. His work output was excellent, but he often got into verbal arguments with superiors. The result was a reputation as a brilliant but unsteady worker who shifted from job to job often.
Monica was a vegetarian who exercised regularly. Her doctor told her she had the physical condition of a woman 10 years younger. Given Richard’s erratic behavior, one would think Monica would be under great stress. When I posed that question to her, she said that she had learned to cope with Richard’s behavior.
The couple had no life insurance except for a policy providing one times Richard’s salary at work. Monica had often asked Richard to get some additional insurance. His reply was that they did not have enough money. Monica specifically requested that I look at term and whole life insurance and tell her the type and amount of insurance that was appropriate.
Richard and Monica’s insurance policies are summarized below:
• Medical coverage was adequate.
• Auto insurance was at the minimum level for the state of $50,000 to $100,000 per accident.
• Homeowners insurance was at a level of 50 percent of replacement cost for the house. They had a 90 percent co-insurance clause.
• Richard had no disability coverage.
• A note saying that Richard didn’t want long-term care insurance, but Monica was interested in looking at it.
Case Application Questions

  1. What recommendations would you make to improve the couple’s risk profile?
  2. Do you believe they should have more insurance?
  3. Which type would you recommend: whole life or term insurance?
  4. What is your recommendation for auto insurance?
  5. What is your home owner’s insurance recommendation?
  6. Give the advantages for Richard obtaining disability insurance.
  7. Do you believe Richard and/or Monica should have long-term care insurance? Why?
  8. Prepare the overall risk management, life, and other insurance parts of the financial plan using answers to the questions above.

Managers will be faced with the potential for disaster on many occasions. As a regional manager, we will explore some elements of planning for disaster preparation.

 

1. Describe the major approached used by managers in assessing preparedness and response effectiveness.

2. What are the primary challenges facing managers in regional preparedness for disaster? What are some legal hurdles?

Your responses should be objective when looking at disaster preparedness and what, from a manager’s standpoint, are the most important elements.

Regular exercise reduce the risk of depression

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Does regular exercise reduce the risk of depression? A researcher finds 2000 men over 40 who exercise regularly and have not had heart attacks. She matches each with a similar man who does not exercise regularly, and she follows both groups for 10 years.

In your submission, please answer the following questions:

Is this an experiment?
What kind of study is it (prospective or retrospective)?
Please explain your answers, and describe the research design with a scheme. Refer to [page number in book] for an example of a scheme.
