Assignment #11–preparing for Essay #3
hey all, unlike our first 2 papers where you answered questions that you were given, for this next essay, you are going to have a lot more freedom.
First off, I am not even sure we should call it “essay” #3, because even though we will be doing a lot of writing, and even though you will still be expected to build phat paras, and bring in quotes, the FORMAT that you may be writing might not look like an essay. (Those of you who have attended zoom calls already this week know what I am talking about….)
To prepare for Essay/Project #3, we are having YOU brainstorm some ideas about what you think you might like to do. We have been discussing ideas in the zoom classes, and now it is time for you to take it further.
You will be answering these questions in order to develop your possible essay/project. Once you. turn this in, I will be working with you next week to make sure that your essay/project will work. Here are the questions. Please be as thorough and detailed as possible. Don’t simply say “I want to do a project about the Homeless.” That is of course much too general.
The general topic areas that we are exploring is: Politics (this can be local or national) / Community engagement / Climate and Environment …. Of course you dont need to have your idea hit ALL these areas…. one area is enough.
here are the questions:

  1. Please describe in detail, what exactly is your project proposal about ?
  2. What need is being filled, or what problem is being addressed by your project?
  3. Who is the audience for your project?
  4. How will people interact with your project?
  5. What format would your writing take? (web page… brochure…letter…Zine….etc.)
  6. Anything else you would like to add or say about your project?

Professional Beliefs Paper: Person, Nursing, Environment, and Health
Northern Illinois University NURS 347 Professional Beliefs Paper re: Person, Nursing, Environment, and Health Guidelines & Rubric (50 points) PURPOSE: There are four dominant concepts in nursing: Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing. Diversity (culture) is a sub-concept that moves through each of the four major concepts. Students may choose to include culture with Person. People enter nursing with definitions of these concepts that derive from their own personal experiences. Inherent in their definitions are their values, attitudes, and beliefs. It may be helpful to think of this process as values clarification-what these concepts are and what they are not. This paper is a reflection on the four concepts and how the concepts interrelate based on the semester’s learning experiences. This paper is a personal statement of values; therefore, there are no “right” or “wrong” statements. However, it is expected that the student will address the four concepts including culture; identify major aspects of the concepts; draw relationships among them; analyze and evaluate alternative points of view; and draw conclusions that logically derive from the values expressed by the student for the concepts of Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing. The paper is a reflection of the student’s ability to engage in critical thinking. The criteria for assessing critical thinking include: · Interpretation of concepts using salient arguments and substantiating a point of view by reflecting alternative points of view. · Explanation of assumptions and reasons with accurate interpretation of evidence. · In-depth and thorough thinking processes that reflect open mindedness, fairness, and honesty in recognizing personal biases. · Willingness to reconsider judgments. WRITING GUIDE: 1. Title: Personal Professional Beliefs Paper 2. Introduction: Brief paragraph stating the purpose of the paper. 3. Your definition of the four concepts and substantiation (why) for your personal beliefs. (What the concept IS and what it IS NOT based on varying points of view reflected in the literature.) 4. Interrelationships between Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing. 5. Conclusion that comes from the four concepts of the paper. 6. It should be typed using APA format with 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, one inch margins, header, section headings, and content shall not exceed 5 pages. 7. The writing should be clear, coherent, and organized with appropriate grammar and syntax. 8. Provide a title page and a reference page (these are excluded from the 5 page limit). 9. Include at least 3 references from scholarly journals, biographies, texts, or professional organization or .gov resources. These may support/contrast your belief. 10. Limit the use of direct quotes. May use brief quotes sparingly. Beliefs Paper Introduction (10 points): (#2) Aspects of Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing are covered (20 points): (#3 and #4) · The paper flows logically and is well expressed with your original ideas/terms · Culture/diversity addressed · Use of references to support/contrast viewpoint Conclusion (10 points): (#5) Scholarly Writing (10 points) · APA format utilized for referencing (1 point) · APA font, font size, double space, margins, page limit (1 point) · Header follows APA guidelines (1 point) · Headings follow APA guidelines for level (1 point) · 3 professional references utilized (1 nursing) (1 point) · Title page follows APA guidelines (1 point) · Reference page follows APA guidelines (1 point) · Organized content (1 point) · Correct spelling (1 point) · Correct grammar and sentence structure.

3. Mr. Jones has approximately 300 dairy cattle that he milks twice a day. Every morning at 9 a.m., the wholesaler stops on his route with his tanker truck and picks up Mr. Jones’ milk. The milk is then taken to the processing plant, where it is combined with hundreds of other dairy farmers’ milk from around the area. Most of the milk is processed and put into bottles or cartons and shipped to local stores. Some of the milk is used to produce other dairy products.

4. Elvira College has an enrollment of 1,000 students and is located in a small Midwestern town named Johnsonville. Johnsonville has a total population of 2,500 people. The nearest town is 20 miles away. Most of the residents shop locally, but they travel about once a month to the larger city and pick up the large-ticket items. Johnsonville has one fairly good-size supply store named Jameson’s Grocery. The only other place in town where you might buy supplies is at the gas station/convenience store located on the edge of town. What competitive situation is Jameson’s Grocery experiencing?
Competitive Situation:
Explanation:
5. Iowa farmers can choose from five different manufacturers of farm implement equipment. Two of these manufacturers account for more than 80 percent of all the farm equipment sold in Iowa. These two manufacturers produce very similar equipment. Whenever one manufacturer has a sale, offers rebates, or offers special financing, the other manufacturer quickly follows with a similar program.
Competitive Situation:
Explanation:
 
Supporting your proposal with research is a good way to ensure an effective program and a competitive proposal. You can incorporate research into your background information and description of the current situation. You might also find similar programs or studies that show that such efforts have been effective in the past. Demographics for the community with which you are working help to clarify the community need and the people who would be served by the project. Write a post that answers the following questions:

  1. What is your main research question? What are some secondary questions you need to explore through research? (Tip: Focus on the community need.)
  2. What information do you need to know about the broad topic of your research? Think big–does this community need exist on a national or global level?
  3. What information do you need to know about the local community? Think very specifically about the area you are serving.
  4. What SPECIFIC sources will be useful to find the information you need? (don’t just say “websites” or “the library”–Which websites, databases, or journals are likely to have the information you need?)

To prepare for this activity, review the document titled “Research Methods” and explore the Library Research Guide for our course.

Directions: Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length; refer to the “Assignment Format” page for specific format requirements.
In your course, turn to Lesson 4. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled, “Ecological Challenges Facing Humanity.” Skim through that and then focus on the topic of deforestation.
Using your own words, write a short descriptive essay that defines and explains selected environmental impacts of deforestation. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.
Be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
Environmental Impacts of Deforestation
Jennifer Croft
Your essay should include five paragraphs, as follows:

  • Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say about these three topics: disruption of the carbon cycle, disruption of the hydrologic (water) cycle, and the reduction of species diversity.
  • Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs.
    • Paragraph 2 should describe how deforestation disrupts the carbon cycle.
    • In paragraph 3, you’ll write about how deforestation disrupts the hydrologic (water) cycle.
    • In paragraph 4, you’ll explain how deforestation is related to declining species diversity.
  • Paragraph 5 is your conclusion paragraph. Here, you can describe how you feel about the three effects of deforestation discussed, and what we might do about it.

It’s permissible to use direct quotes from your reading, but don’t use too many. One to three such quotes should be your limit. Be sure to put a direct quote in quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, “Carbon dioxide is both our friend and our enemy.”
