Based on these differences, do you agree that public health and healthcare are interdependent? Give reasons in support of your answer.

US public health officials have identified three core functions and ten essential public health services that a health department must perform. Combined with responsibilities associated with disaster or bioterrorism preparedness, which have become pertinent since September 11, 2001, they remain the core responsibilities of all health departments.
Review the following reports:

Identify two to three societies to compare such as African, Indian, Chinese, Korean, or Native American. Please note that these are suggested societies; you may choose something not on this list. Choose one aspect of human culture discussed in the course: Domestic life and kinship Subsistence and economy Religion Culture change Describe the background information of each of the societies you have chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide details regarding these societies.

Assignment 1: Ethnographic Comparison
Anthropologists are interested in framing broad hypotheses about human behavior. In order to do this, it is imperative to use examples from multiple cultures to ensure that their conclusions are not grounded in a single case.
In this assignment, you will be taking on the role of an ethnologist, using multiple ethnographic accounts to study human behavior and culture.
Do the following:

Identify two to three societies to compare such as African, Indian, Chinese, Korean, or Native American. Please note that these are suggested societies; you may choose something not on this list.
Choose one aspect of human culture discussed in the course:

Domestic life and kinship
Subsistence and economy
Religion
Culture change
Describe the background information of each of the societies you have chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide details regarding these societies.

Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a research paper to include the following:

Describe the background information of each of the societies you have chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide details regarding these societies.
Analyze the aspect of human culture you selected for each of the societies.
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the societies in relation to the topic you chose—for example, standard of living, education, or employment opportunities.
Summarize and address human behavior in relation to your topic and based on your examples.

Address the realities of life for the cultures you have examined.
Examine some of the social problems and public policy issues that become apparent.

Your paper should have a title page as well as an introduction section. This introduction section should include the societies you selected as well as the human culture aspect you will be discussing and why it is relevant to anthropology. As an anthropologist, use relevant anthropological terms in your analysis.
Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.
Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.doc.
By Saturday, February 9, 2013, deliver your assignment to the M5: Assignment 1 Dropbox.

Many research psychologists have research teams they work with and some members of the team end up on the publications while others do not. For two months during summer, Ann conducted research as an undergraduate student at a well-known university. She spent long hours in the laboratory injecting mice with opiate blockers to look at pain tolerance. She was responsible for shocking them, as a test for pain tolerance, and euthanizing them at the end of the study. When the article was published months later, Ann was surprised to find her name was only included in a note of thanks. What do you think about this situation?

Did Ann have a right to be upset, or should she have been grateful for the opportunity? Why?
Do you think a psychology professor who has published a number of scientific articles is more knowledgeable about the field of psychology as compared to a professor who has not published? Why?
Use the South University Online Library to investigate the significance of the sequence in which authors’ names appear on a paper. Discuss your findings.
Given that research involves teamwork, do you think that the hierarchical implications of this sequence are appropriate?

The art/architecture that we find in Bronze Age China and the Indus Valley was produced during the same period as the cultures that we’ve studied up to this point in time. What religious, political, or cultural differences can we interpret from the art that they produced? Select a specific example from each culture (Chinese and Indus Valley) and compare this to what we’ve seen in the Bronze Age cultures or Mesopotamia, Egypt or the Aegean. What is the purpose, underlying meaning, or intent and how does this compare with what we see elsewhere?

Use course material and additional references to develop a proposal for a specific program for older adults and/or their families. Assume that your budget is flexible but consider real world limitations to implementing the program. What is your theoretical and research informed rationale for the program you propose? Who will be targeted to participate? Who will staff the program; what will their qualifications be? What pre-service and in-service training will they receive? What obstacles do you anticipate encountering with the development and implementation of the program?

Please follow the link for UMUC’s Policy on Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism. Similarly, do not submit a paper to this class that you have already submitted to another class. Doing so will result in failure of the project. 

In the chosen situation, which of these common critical thinking strategies did you use: describing the problem, breaking the problem into manageable parts, laying out potential solutions, weighing the potential outcomes of the various solutions, choosing the best approach, implementing the decision, and evaluating the outcome? Explain how you used the strategies and what you learned from applying them to your situation. Did you enjoy the critical thinking strategies? Explain why or why not. In what ways were your strategies satisfactory or unsatisfactory? Were the strategies you used successful? Explain why or why not. How much time did it take to use the various strategies? Were there any of the strategies that you would not use again? Would you consider experimenting with a different strategy in future situations?

Introduction
Expert critical thinking strategies are integral to successfully completing your college course work and advancing in your career. The purpose of this first assignment is to have a framework of focus that will ensure success with the upcoming course activities. Specifically, reflecting on previous critical thinking experience can be a powerful way to set the stage for successful completion of this course.
As you complete this assignment, avoid performing research and using citations. Internet research is not needed because you are reflecting on your own experience not that of another author. There is no right or wrong answer—have fun!
Choose a Situation

Example situations are: making a computer purchase decision, deciding which cell phone best meets your needs, choosing a school for your bachelor degree program, or another situation of your choice. As you think about a situation when critical thinking strategies were used, reflect on the ideas in the next section to guide the composition needed for this assignment.
