Your essay must be between 2,000 and 2,250 words in length Be double-spaced with standard (1-inch) margins and 12-point Times New Roman font Your essay will be graded on a scale of 0-100 based on the following rubric: Does the essay meet the structural requirements of the essay prompt in terms of length, margins, font, etc.? Does the essay adequately and fully address each of the questions in the essay prompt? Are all references to outside sources/ideas/authority appropriately cited (you may use any citation method you chose – just be consistent throughout your essay)? Is the essay well-written and generally free of proofreading errors? You must complete an essay on the following prompt: In 1986, J. Glass argued that a parent’s political orientation is the strongest determining factor in predicting a child’s future political preferences (i.e., most (or many) Republicans grew up in Republican-leaning households and most (or many) Democrats grew up in Democrat-leaning households). See “Attitude similarity in three generational families: Socialization, status inheritance, or reciprocal influence?,” American Sociological Review , Vol 51, 685-698 (1986). Here is the article. You are welcome to read the article as part of your preparation for writing the essay if you wish, but you do not need to reference any details from the article, other than the author’s thesis (the article is very technical and quantitative in nature – my brief description of the author’s thesis, above, is all you need to write your essay). In your opinion (and experience) did Glass correctly identify the primary source of our collective “political socialization?” What other sources or factors influence our political preferences? Glass’s article was published in 1986. In your opinion, is political socialization today largely similar to political socialization in 1986? If so, how is it similar? If not, how is it different? What implications do your observations have for political candidates, organizations, and/or institutions? Finally, please identify (and briefly describe) at least two aspects or our course material thus far (from the text, lectures, or discussion postings) that help you to understand political socialization differently than you did prior to beginning our class.

Advocacy Risk Appraisal: Emergency and Disaster Preparedness
Course Outcomes addressed in this assignment:
NU505-3: Appraise preparedness to protect population health and advocacy during disasters and public health emergencies.
DIRECTIONS
Consider you are developing a project that evaluates community preparedness in the event of a local disaster or public health emergency. You will need to identify partners and resources in the community. A Partner Planning Worksheet synthesizes information about how each reported partner supports public health preparedness and response.
Strong, fully engaged community (jurisdictional) partners are critical for public health preparedness. Public and private partners are often perceived as trusted sources and support preparedness by working with the health department to provide input and mitigate identified health risks for the communities they serve. Partners also help identify community roles and responsibilities and coordinate the delivery of essential health services to strengthen community resilience as early as possible before, during, and after a public health emergency. Jurisdictions can leverage partner insights to develop and disseminate information that address the needs of at-risk populations that may be disproportionately impacted by the incident or event.
Access the Unit 6 Partner Planning and Assessment Worksheet in Course Resources.
Experiences from national and state emergencies, such as hurricanes, flooding and fires, have shown that current emergency preparedness have inadequacies addressing the unique issues of special needs populations. Masters prepared nurses should source for most relevant strategies, practices, and resources from a variety of sources, including peer-reviewed research, government reports, and the trade literature, to identify priority populations and critical strategies.
This Partner Planning Template is meant to guide you toward preparedness appraisal to protect population health and advocacy during disasters and public health emergencies for your local and/ or state community.
Purpose: A Partner Planning and Assessment Worksheet is the preliminary planning tool for gathering information about existing and potential emergency preparedness partners. You will demonstrate the ability to appraise preparedness to protect population health and advocacy during disasters and public health emergencies by completing a partner planning and community resource assessment worksheet. You are creating an appraisal of public health support, communication sources, and a variety of services in the community in the event of a public health emergency or disaster.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Identify existing or potential public partners engaged in activities relevant to planning for access and functional needs. Many of these partners may lend their knowledge, expertise, and risk communication planning.
- Identify organizations who can aid in the response and supply services or support for vulnerable and multicultural populations.
For both 1 and 2, include the partner type, name, and any of the following roles adding detail to the function:
- Access and functional needs group represented
- Preparedness phase of partner engagement (i.e., pre-incident, response, recovery)
- Participation in jurisdictional risk assessment
- Communication support (i.e., public information/ warning)
- Exchange of information between partners (information sharing)
- Participation in training
- Participation in exercises or incidents/event
Examples are in the template. Edit as needed. Research your community.
Finally summarize your findings: 12 pages. Include strengths and weaknesses in the appraisal. Identify health disparity data and potential resources for these needs or for unsupported vulnerable populations. Include specific risks you identified during your partnership assessment. Identify how you can utilize resources, data, and partners to affect community change. Include content related to clinical judgment in your summary. Describe how the master’s prepared nurse will contribute clinical expertise and knowledge to the interprofessional efforts to protect and improve population health.

Chapter 4 is titled “History-Making Crises.” The first two sentences of the chapter set the stage very well for why we are reading about this particular events.
“The case studies in this chapter, called history-making crises, are so called because each crisis made history in a big way. When similar crises occur, they are usually compared to these crises.” Sadly, we do seem to continue to have crises that are of similar nature to these events. Some are more frequent and predictable that others, see hurricanes, but others are less common, see global pandemics. For this assignment, I want you to assume the role of the head of communications for an agency or organization experiencing each of these events. Based on the lessons learned from the chapter, what would you do? You can reference the assignment from last week to help guide your response. Each case study should be addressed in a minimum of 250 words (total of 1000+ words).
Requirements: 1000+

Wk3: Scientific Method
Summarize and discuss the scientific method. How applicable is it to homeland security research? What kinds of topics does homeland security need to address? Choose one topic within homeland security to research. Choose from: Business security, criminal justice, emergency management, public health, transportation security, counterterrorism, cyber-crime, intelligence studies, and federal or local law enforcement. Describe its importance using facts from topical sources and interesting ideas from peer reviewed sources. List at least three research questions about homeland security that you could answer using the scientific method as described in this week’s readings. Try out both descriptive questions (WHAT or HOW) and explanatory questions (WHY or WHEN). See which you like better. Start with a very broad question. Consider how to make it more answerable. Propose a slightly narrower question. Consider what data could be used to answer it. Finally, list at least one very narrow explanatory question. In your replies to your classmates, discuss the feasibility of answering these questions using the scientific method. Using References three below: Comte, A. (1988).

Jazz Week 6
A. Listen to the Scott Joplin Maple Leaf Rag that we heard earlier in the course and compare it with Thelonious Monk’s piece called “Criss Cross.” Talk about the various elements of music especially melody.
B. As we have seen, in works like “Haitian Fight Song,” and others, Charles Mingus’s music is often political or has a social message–it is making a commentary on political or social conditions or events. This is not the first time that music has been used as a political commentary or as a catalyst for social change. Can you think of other examples in twentieth century history where music has been used for political or social purposes? How about during the sixties during the time of Civil Rights protests? In your opinion, was music ever a factor in real social change? Did it bring people together?
C. Compare the Preservation Hall version of the St. Louis Blues that is now up for you under this weeks Materials with the Sonny Rollins composition Blue 7. Does the Sonny Rollins seem to be evolving from a little idea heard in the sax when it comes in?
