Module 3

A woman's feet leaving carbon footprints on grass.There has been a great deal of discussion about exactly how we can begin to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and hopefully reach the levels set for the 2 degree solution. We have all heard about many possible approaches to get industry, communities, and individuals to make the changes we need if we are going to reduce these greenhouse gasses. In this discussion, we are going to examine our “carbon footprints” or “ecological footprints,” compare the scores with each other, and examine ways to reduce our impact on the environment and perhaps save us some money at the same time!

An ecological footprint is an expanded look at the carbon footprint idea. A carbon footprint measures direct consumption of products and resources that come directly from or with fossil fuel consumption, such as your car, your home, and air travel. The ecological footprint digs a bit deeper. “The ecological footprint measures the amount of biologically productive land and water area an individual, a city, a country, a region, or all of humanity uses to produce the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates with today’s technology and resource management practices. Biologically productive land includes areas such as cropland, forest, and fishing grounds, and excludes deserts, glaciers, and the open ocean” (Earth Day Ecological Footprint Calculator, 2016).

Completing this activity will assist you in mastering Module Level Outcome 1.

First:

Calculate one score for your carbon footprint and one score for your ecological footprint from the sites listed below or another you have located that has a calculator and provides a score you can compare.

  • Carbon Footprint site:
    • Climatepath – The calculator appears as #2 across the top third of the page. Click on the “calculate your footprint” link and a simple calculator function drops down on the right hand side of the page. Be sure to record your total footprint in tons before leaving the page, as well as any comparison figures.
  • Ecological Footprint sites (choose one):

Next, post to the Discussion Board:

  1. How do your carbon and ecological footprint scores compare to the averages for the U.S., China, and Europe?
    • You can find these figures about U.S. averages and European averages by a simple search, or you can use these figures:
      1. “An average American’s carbon footprint exceeds 20 tons, which is an astonishing amount. If the CO2 emissions we exhale were made into a solid mass of carbon, we would need 40 trucks – i.e., 1540 tons of carbon, which is 5 times more than a Frenchman and an unimaginable 20 times more than a person that lives in India.” (downloaded 6/2016 from factspy.net)
      2. “The per capita emissions in China increased by 9% in 2011 to reach 7.2 tons per person, only a fraction lower than the EU average of 7.5 tons.” (downloaded 6/2016 from: the guardian.com)
  2. How does your carbon footprint compare to your ecological footprint for the overall score? Do you see a consistent trend, either high or low, in comparison to the U.S. average? Do you see a marked disparity from one of your scores to the other?
  3. Which do you think is a more accurate representation of your energy consumption and greenhouse gas production? Why?
  4. Did you find things that you could do to reduce your scores? What are these things? Do you think you will keep up these efforts in the next few years?

Your initial post responding to this assignment should be no shorter than 250 words. Include both in-text citations and complete APA style references for all the sources you used to inform your work

Unit III Scholarly Activity

 

 

In Chapter 4 of the textbook, you were introduced to the concepts of “presentation of self” and “impression management.” For your assignment in this unit, you will study your digital footprint using both the micro theories of self, found in Goffman’s concepts, and the concepts found in Chapter 5.

 

Start by doing some research on your digital footprint. Review various websites of interest that can assist you in your assignment. One example is the Internet Society website (hint: look under the section What We Do, then Internet SOC 1010, Introduction to Sociology 4

 

 

 

 

 

Technology Matters, then Privacy and Identity—listed on the left side of the screen). Then complete the assignment below:

 

1. Discuss your social self, or how you introduce yourself in social situations, in your opening paragraph.

 

2. Google yourself. This search will give you several arenas for your digital footprint.

 

a. Describe the various websites you find that you could use to learn about yourself (e.g., you might see your birth record link).

 

b. Discuss who manages these sites and thus is involved in the management of your presentation of self

 

c. To which statuses and groups do you belong? How do these affect your digital footprint?

 

d. In what ways can aspects of your digital footprint impact personal or professional opportunities?

 

3. Next, open your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or other online networking site.

 

a. In a few paragraphs, explain how you manage your self-presentation on these websites. Be sure to include information such as your statuses, roles, and identities that you present on the sites.

 

b. Discuss why you chose to include those statuses, roles, and identities, but not others.

 

c. Explain how social structure shapes what you reveal and what you hide about yourself.

 

d. How does the way you are managing your self-presentation online impact your personal and professional opportunities?

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: If you do not use the above-mentioned social media, interview someone who does and get their responses to questions 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d.

 

Your final submission must be a minimum of two full pages. As always, use APA formatting with in-text citations and a proper references page. Ensure that you cite all sources used in your response.

 1000 words As you begin the transition from academic courses to career opportunities, reflect on how the strategies already discussed can help to guide you through the process. Consider the degree path you have chosen and what additional skills or activities you should engage in beyond the academic learning in your courses to be successful. What initiatives and goals do you have for this career? Begin and continue to establish your academic journey and career goals. 

Individual courses within the program will offer opportunities through assignments that develop particular skills pertinent to specific career requirements and transfer of acquired knowledge. Other courses and specific assignments such as interview, practicum, and capstone projects provide opportunities for students to be exposed to relevant problems and creative activities in health care. These opportunities will require students to apply techniques acquired from the classroom to active investigation with experienced mentors in the field. 

Research where to find career openings in your chosen field, select a position you might be interested in, and identify the qualifications and experience required. Identify these requirements as you progress through the coursework provided in your program. Take initiative to inquire and explore as you make connections with your coursework and career goals. Some items to consider further are membership in a professional association, the use of Internet job boards for research into future trends, licensure compliance throughout the country/world, and occupational conditions such as location, shifts worked, required equipment, or safety standards.

Listed below are some suggestions related to the types of information that you may want to include in this section of the document:

1) Who? Who would make up my network (e.g., peers, instructors, professionals, colleagues) essential to success in my chosen field in relation to this particular course?

2) What? What are my findings from researching competencies and/or certification requirements for my specific job role in relation to this course?

3) When? When should I begin to make the connection between my course of study and my career goals?

4) Where? Where does this course fit in my career goals? Where could I schedule an interview or internship to bridge the theory in my course with the practice of a job in the field?

5) Why? Why are peer-reviewed articles important and what is the significance of them in a career in health care?

6) How? How does this course relate to the requirements of my career goals? How can I make a link between the course and career experience that I need?

STEPS
1. Define the problem

Questions to Prompt Critical Thinking 1

HCS/465 May 2017

page1image3560

  1. What is the problem identified in the research article?
    Example: The Ebola outbreak and its prevalence in West African nations.

  2. Why is it a problem?

    Example: The Ebola outbreak is a disease that is contracted from… Its symptoms are… (x) amount of people die each year… This is a problem because…

  3. What is the problem that the study is trying to resolve?

    Example: Ebola has spread among the West African people because of… This research seeks to identify solutions that will prevent it from spreading among the African people.

  4. Why is the problem important for health care administrators to study?
    The research article may not identify a specific reason why the research is important to health care administrators. That is okay. Write about why a health care administrator would want to study this topic. How could knowledge of this topic help you as a health care administrator?

    Example: As an assistant manager of a nursing home, I know that many of the residents have watched the news reports on the Ebola outbreak in Africa and its potential outbreak in the United States. Since I know little about the disease and knowing the concern that the reporting of this disease has brought on the residents of the nursing home, I felt that it was my responsibility to know more about the disease and how to prevent its spread. Providing the residences with this knowledge can go a long way towards calming their fears and enabling them and their caregivers to take measures to prevent any outbreak.

  1. Identify the purpose

    1. What is the purpose of the research study?

    2. What is the reserarcher(s) trying to accomplish in the study?

      If the answers to these questions are not expressly stated in the article, consider its entirety and then write what you think the answers are.

      Example: The purpose of the study was to create awareness of the Ebola outbreak, to provide statistical data to give an accurate account of the scope of the outbreak and to identify known methods to minimize exposure, recognize symptoms and prevent outbreaks.

  2. Identify the hypothesis or research question

    1. Was a hypothesis or research question given in the research article? If so what? If not, why?

    2. Was the initial hypothesis confirmed or the initial research question answered or was it disproved by the research?

Questions to Prompt Critical Thinking 2

HCS/465 May 2017

Example: The initial hypothesis made by the author stated that “though Ebola is unfamiliar to most people, it is familiar to the medical community and measures have been established to prevent exposure and treatments to support patients”. The research provided by the author identifies clearly the origin of the disease and how it is contracted and spread among people. The research explains in depth the living conditions that exist in the West African nations and why the disease is so prevalent. It further identifies and explains existing research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that confirms the medical community’s awareness of the disease and established protocol to prevent it. The evidence provided by the author leads me to believe that the initial hypothesis is valid.

4. Study variables

a. What is (are) the dependent and independent study variables?

Dependent variables represent ‘outputs’ or ‘effects’, typically the main variable studied. Independent variables represent ‘inputs’ and can have any value. These may or may not influence the dependent variable.

Example: The study collected data that observed changes in the number of people becoming infected by the Ebola virus by varying amounts of education/awareness being facilitated by the American Red Cross. The amount of attention given by the American Red Cross is an independent variable while the number of people who were or were not infected after public awareness efforts is a dependent variable.
