identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

DISCUSSION – 1. MAIN DISCUSSION POST Discussion: Evidence Base in DesignWhen politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

analyze a current affairs article about a religion and discuss its economic impact.

 Goal: The goal of this assignment is for the student to analyze a current affairs article about a religion and discuss its economic impact.Learning Objectives: 2, 3, & 4Description:Throughout your studies in World Religions, you have been introduced to a variety of religious worldviews that are impacting a society and the marketplace in a variety of ways that can be both positive and negative for a community. The task for your Week #5 Project is to write a Current Affairs Worldview Essay that demonstrates the contemporary application as to how and in what ways a particular religion is impacting a society’s economy and marketplace today. You will want to research articles that clearly reference specific financial data including special financial studies and reports, profit/loss reports, Gross National Products (GNP), and financial percentages that are being generated for a particular locale as the result of a religion that we have or will study only in this class.An example of a possible title for such an article might be this: (“Study Finds Islamic Sholat Reducing Saudi Arabia GNP”). Here, the specific locale is Saudi Arabia – the religion impacted is Islam – the issue is that the time Muslims spend in daily prayer (Sholat) results in a financial loss of production for time away reducing Saudi Arabia’s GNP by 2% annually. Your article should highlight clear financial data as opposed to generalizations. (Ex: in the above article it points out that lost production in Saudi Arabia resulted in a 2% loss to the Gross National Product (GNP) or a loss of 3 trillion US dollars over last year.)The key to this assignment is to think outside of the box and use your critical thinking skills to practically apply the course materials on religion and transfer that thinking in such a way to consider how a religion might impact the economy? If you have trouble finding an article or resource, you can always “Contact a Librarian” from the APUS Trefry Library who will be able to assist you. Note that this is not a research essay where you seek out a variety of resources to highlight your topic. Here, you are to focus on just one (1) single article and offer your review of it in terms of a summary of the content and your personal application of it for your study of world religions. (See the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Book Review Handout for detailed information and examples.) There should only be one (1) resource listed in your Works Cited page.Your essay should include the following and should have a publication date of 5 years or less:Be sure to use good writing and mechanical techniques and include the use of academically approved Citation Formats with in-text citations and a resource page to identify your resource and avoid plagiarism.You will need to upload your Current Affairs Worldview Essay as an attachment in the correct file for presentation and final grading by your instructor. It will automatically be reviewed by Turnitin.com for plagiarism and an Originality Report will be generated. Please be sure to review the Grading Rubric in advance so that you will have a good idea of the expectations for this Essay. 

identify aspects of how jazz has changed from Early Jazz to Swing.

 1) From your readings from the Walser text, we have two writers having radically different responses to emerging jazz music (Chapter 4, Ernest Ansermet, and Chapter 9, Anne Shaw Faulker). In this discussion forum, discuss how either author engages with race (either explicitly or implicitly). 2) In This unit we studied the 1920s and 1930s, which encompass New Orleans/Early Jazz and the Swing era. With that in mind, identify aspects of how jazz has changed from Early Jazz to Swing. You can focus on some of the musical elements discussed in the readings and in the lectures that are characteristic of swing music or you can base your post on your personal/aesthetic response to the music (for example, do the different musical styles evoke different kinds of emotions, or different physical responses, etc.). Feel free to discuss any of the recordings assigned this week or used as musical examples in this week’s lectures, as well as recordings from outside the class.
