Important development in twentieth-century science or technology
write an essay focused on an important development in twentieth-century science or technology that impacted society. Write an essay on this development that covers the four parts described below.
• Part I: thoroughly explain what the development was. Someone who has never heard of the development you chose should be able to understand your explanation.
• Part II: explain how your chosen development was shaped by its social or cultural context and how it, in turn, affected society.
• Part III: get you sci fi on! Imagine that your chosen development had emerged from a different social or cultural context, or with a different representative population. Discuss how this imagined context would have changed the development’s effects on society and/or other STEM fields.
• Part IV: what does the scenario you discussed in part III tell us about the social context of STEM research? Does it suggest any changes that we could make to reap more benefits from STEM going forward?
Types of mitochondrial diseases
In a minimum of three written pages, discuss the various types of mitochondrial diseases. Be specific and detailed. Do not use quotes.

Microorganisms can cause disease and death
People are under the misconception that only living microorganisms can cause disease and death. Viruses and prions are not considered to be living entities. Why are they not considered to be living pathogens? Choose an example and discuss it.
The periodic table of elements
- Use this link to the periodic table of elements (https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ptable.com/?lang%3Den%23Properties&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1680927733272777&usg=AOvVaw0ZHDdwC9PAp5bkaoNvU-H3) to choose an element that interests you; one you have not heard of before.
- Upon choosing your element of interest, use the periodic table and research to conduct the following:
• Introduction
• location on the periodic table
• atomic number
• atomic mass
• element symbol
• who discovered the element and when
• why this element interests you
• Chemical properties
• family/ reactivity trends
• group/ # valence e’s
• types of bonds the element can form
• Physical properties
• elemental class (metal, non metal, metalloid)
• applications and uses) - open a blank document for your research paper.
Present your research in the format of a 5-paragraph essay.
Include the following:
• Works cited (Periodic table website and any other sources you used)
• Scientific voice
• Proper conventions
Public health emphasis
Please respond to the discussions as they relate to your area of public health emphasis (i.e., environmental & occupational health, healthcare administration, health education, or general public health).
Your comments will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion Requirements posted under “Before You Begin.”
As you review the literature regarding measles, what sources will you use to obtain the required information? What government websites will you explore? Are there local health statistics databases available? What are the first three things you will do as you begin working on an outbreak response plan? For example, will you begin by doing some research about the disease? Or would you begin by researching the literature on preventing/treating the disease among immigrant populations? Would you interview people familiar with the population? If so, who? Or would you do something else? Please explain your rationale.
D2
Your comments will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion Requirements posted under “Before You Begin.”
What sources will you explore to get a better understanding of behaviors among your target population? Will you consult websites, journal articles, or books to gain insights on reasoning behind their behavior? What types of sources (e.g., press releases, new reports, etc.) will you utilize to assist you in developing your presentation?
D3
What sources will you explore to gain insights on environmental factors specific to immigrant populations? Will you assess if their communities and/or homes in the United States are similar to where they resided in their native land?
How does one’s culture influence access to and utilization of healthcare? What are the potential barriers and challenges of engaging your target population in vaccine adherence initiatives? Is health literacy a concern?
What global health initiatives and strategies are currently in place to minimize vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks in impoverished countries?

D5
Reflect upon two concepts that you learned in this course.
What are the concepts? What insight or ideas did you gain from learning each of these concepts? Were there aspects of the concepts that you would challenge?
What is the importance of these concepts to public health? How will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?
Optional: Offer feedback on how the course and/or facilitation of the course can be improved.
Reflection is a mental process that challenges you to use critical thinking to examine the course information, analyze it carefully, make connections with previous knowledge and experience, and draw conclusions based on the resulting ideas. A well-cultivated critical thinker raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems. (Paul & Elder, 2008)
In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be sure to support your statements, cite sources properly, cite within the text of your comments, and list your reference(s). The response must be a minimum of 250 words.
Modernizing the mise-en-scène in a 200-word description
In your post, discuss how you would modernize the mise-en-scène in a 200-word description. You can substitute or change any stage directions from the original play; however, you cannot change any text in the dialogue between the two characters. Therefore, your spin on the setting, including any detail on the set, props, and costumes, must make sense with the dialogue. In some cases, altered props or gestures referenced in the dialogue could have “symbolic” meaning for the text in a modern setting.
Comment on any new meanings that arise from the modern updates. Consider new themes emerging that have particular resonance for the 21st century or traditional themes that gain further complexity or depth in today’s world.
