Topic: Research in history

Research allows gaps in knowledge on a topic to be filled as well as change the way people view
a topic. The purpose of the research in history assignment (Parts 1-3) is to guide the student
through the initial stages of research used for a college-level history research paper without
writing the paper. The assignment will introduce students to the process of identifying, locating,
and evaluating sources for research in history. Students will learn how to utilize databases and
search tools for research in history. Finally, the assignment will improve writing skills as well as
introduce Turabian style for source citation.

INSTRUCTIONS
In Module 7, students will present their final version of their research question and evaluate the
relevance of sources in answering the question. First, students will review their Research in
History:

Creating a Bibliography submission and make appropriate revisions based on the
instructor’s feedback and comments.

Next, use the Jerry Falwell Library and its databases to find
three new sources (1 book, 1 article, and 1 book or article). Under each citation, provide one paragraph (125-175 words) evaluating how and why the source is necessary to answer the research question.

Students are not summarizing the sources; rather, students are evaluating
specific examples from the source and explaining why this information is essential in addressing the research question. Finally, the student will write a brief paragraph (150-200 words) on the
research process and the importance of evaluating sources to answer a research question. Please
use the provide template and be sure to view the tutorials on how to form a research question, utilize the JFL databases, and cite sources in Turabian format.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool three new sources (1 book, 1 article, and 1 book or article). Under each citation, provide one paragraph (125-175 words) evaluating how and why the source is necessary to answer the research question

Students are not summarizing the sources; rather, students are evaluating
specific examples from the source and explaining why this information is essential in addressing the research question write a brief paragraph (150-200 words) on the research process and the importance of evaluating sources to answer a research question.

Generations in the Workplace

There are five generations working side by side in the workforce today. Managing and leading multiple generations in the workplace may not be easy. Each defined generation has different expectations, communication styles, and perspectives. Describe how you would adopt a management strategy that addresses each of the distinct generations in the workplace that keeps all employees satisfied. Define and describe the generations, and strategies to recruit, retain, and reward to name a few points.

Conflict/Plot/Structure

Characterization

Setting

Theme/Authors’ Purposes

You will write a  paper that addresses 1 of the plays from
the Drama Unit. At least 6 citations, including the primary source and at least 5 secondary, scholarly sources, are required for this assignment. Before you begin writing the paper, carefully read the below guidelines for developing your paper topic.

1. Write an essay explaining how Sophocles’ Oedipus exemplifies or refutes Aristotle’s
definition of a tragic hero. Review pp. 1250–1254 and 1257–1258 in your Perrine’s
Literature textbook for the background and overview of Aristotle’s concept of
tragedy/the tragic hero and drama. Then, re-read Sophocles’ play, Oedipus; you may
review additional audio-visual resources on the play as well.
2. Discuss William Shakespeare’s Othello, the Moor of Venice as a tragedy. As defined by
Aristotle, is it correct to label Othello a “tragic hero” and to classify the play as an
Aristotelian tragedy? Review pp. 1250–1254 and 1257–1258 in the Perrine’s Literature

Overview of Community Assessment

A community assessment provides the basis and rationale for clinical interventions in Population/Community Health Nursing. Community Health Nurse sasses the community by using the nursing process. Nurses gather subjective and objective data, cluster the data into meaningful information, prioritize community health needs, develop Community Health Nursing Diagnoses, create interventions to address those identified needs, and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention implemented. In order to gain a complete assessment of the community, several kinds of data are needed:
Assignment One: Windshield Survey and Interview with Two Key Members of the Community
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to determine and document resources that are available and have a positive input into members of your selected community. Completion of the windshield survey will provide input data into the community assessment. Make certain that you address the 16 areas for potential resources for members of your community. Note closely any disparities, lack of access, and possible community members’ lack of knowledge with the resources available.
Objectives:
• To familiarize the student with the influence of the community to members of the community.
• To assist the student with noting demographic data related to the physical appearance of the community, available resources, work sites, and people.
• To identify resources that come into the community that can support the community members
• To assist with identifying possible needs for members of the community
• To advance student’s perception of the public health nursing process of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation of a community and the impact on the members of the community.
Windshield Survey: This is a first look at a community through a car’s windshield. The windshield survey is sometimes referred to as a familiarization survey because it helps establish to understand the community and the impact on community members. The windshield survey can also provide demographics about the community. The windshield survey is an initial step to a more comprehensive community assessment by raising awareness of issues for further exploration.
Observers are asked to use their senses (sight, hearing, and smell) to learn about a community as they drive, walk around, or use public transportation to get around the community. When driving through the community focus on the inputs that the community has to the members of the community. During the process, make observations about the physical and social environments and the natural and built environments in the community.
As you drive, ride, or walk through the community, pay careful attention to as many characteristics of the community as possible. Include pictures or videos as part of your survey. Make sure that you are only taking photos of people in public places. Be sensitive to the privacy of others; avoid taking pictures of people, particularly those who are vulnerable, where they could be identified.
The final submission of the windshield survey needs to be a formal written paper with complete full sentences. You can include pictures and describe the resources not just the names of the places. You can paste pictures directly into the document and upload supporting videos under the assignment link in Blackboard.
As you make observations keep in mind how available the resources are the members of the community.
Resources/Assets:
•
o Organizations or businesses that provide support to the community (ex: libraries, clinics, thriving local businesses)
o Family and Services: (ex: youth centers, churches, Head Start)
o Signs of Decay (Is the area well maintained or in disrepair? Is there garbage and liter in the streets and home lawns? Are there trashed/abandoned cars, places for rodents or other wildlife to hide, vacant lots?)
o Parks and Recreational Access Parks and Recreational Areas (Are there play areas for children and adults? Are they safe and maintained? Is there green space? Are there areas of opportunities for exercise?)
o Common Areas (Where do people collect for social gatherings, where do they “hang out”? Are these areas for groups or are they open to all? Are there signs posted?)
o Stores (what stores -grocery, retail, drug, etc. are in the area? How do residents travel to them? Are they locally owned or chain stores?)
o Restaurants (What options are there for eating out? How many are chain restaurants?)
o Transportation (How do most people get around the area? Is there public transportation? If so, what kind and does it appear to be used? Who uses it? What is the condition of the streets, roads, highways?)
o Service Centers (What services are available in the community – health care, social services, schools, employment offices etc.?)
o People in the Community (Who is in the area? during the day? What evidence is thereof particular “classes” of people – upper, middle, working, lower?)
o Industries and Worksites (What are the major industries located in the area? What types of occupations are evident?)
o Protective Services (Where are fire and police stations located? Is there evidence of police and fire protection in the area? Are these services in a convenient location to the family?)
o Ethnicity (What is the predominant ethnic group? Are there residents from a variety of ethnic backgrounds or is the community mostly one group? Which one? Are there stores, restaurants, churches, schools, or languages that indicate an ethnic group(s)?)
o Religion (What churches and church-run schools are in the area (denomination)? How many are there of each denomination?)
o Health and Morbidity (Is there evidence of any health problems such as drug/alcohol abuse, communicable or chronic diseases, mental illness (etc.)?)
o Politics (Is there evidence of political activity? Are there any signs that indicate a predominant political party (parties) or concern(s)?
Key Member Interviews:
This portion of the assessment will give you an idea of how people in the community see the community they live in. (i.e. police or fireman, schoolteacher or librarian, and business owner or store clerk/manager.)

Vulnerable Populations

• This learning assessment activity serves to support learners’:
• Examination of the relationship between vulnerability/social determinants of health and health disparities
• Identification of population risk and protective factors relative to health outcomes
• Prioritization of interventions for targeted population’s health based on assessment data
• Exploration of the professional nurses’ role as population health advocate
Step 1: Select a Vulnerable or Special Population
• Select a vulnerable or special population based on the ten (10) topics outlined within the lesson (see suggested resources in the table below).
• Address each of the six (6) content areas listed below in your paper. Your paper should be in paragraph form rather than answering the outlined topics.
1. Identify the vulnerable or special population selected and your state.
2. Describe the factors contributing to the vulnerability of the selected population. Discuss the vulnerable population using the epi triad-host, agent, and environment

3. Describe the significance and economic impact of the population in relation to community and population health. Cite statistics to support the significance and economic impact. Remember to cite according to APA Guidelines

4. Identify demographic and epidemiological data relevant to your population.
o Describe the characteristics in terms of demographics and epidemiological data (e.g., age, sex, marital status, economic status, employment status, race, ethnicity, household composition, health insurance coverage, access to health care, education levels, health conditions, etc.). Be sure to cite your sources appropriately.
5. Identify two (2) priority health concerns for this population and support your concerns with the literature. Cite your references in text to support your statements.

6. Discuss several evidence-based strategies nurses can implement that target the priority health concerns and the role of the nurse in improving the health outcomes for the population. You can implement using the levels of prevention-primary, secondary, and tertiary. Be thorough in your discussion.

Step 2: Research Your Population
• You will have a minimum of four (4) references for this project including your textbook, a minimum of one scholarly journal article, and minimum of one web-based source. References should be within the past 3 years. You may use the assigned reading article as one of your required journal article references.
• Use the U of A Online Libraries to locate your scholarly journal article(s).
• Review web-links related to your topic within the Project # 2 folder accessible from the Community/Population Web-Based Resources in the left-pane navigation menu.
• Review the grading rubric to guide you in the development of your paper: Project 2 Grading Rubric.(located in the back of your syllabi)
Step 3: Prepare Your Paper
• As you prepare your paper, use concepts and terms that have learned in the course. You might consider approaching the vulnerable population with host, agent, and environment. Also, look at prevalence, incidence, risk factors. Using the concepts that you have learned will add a dimension of critical thinking and synthesis to your paper.
• Remember to cite your references throughout the body of your writing to show where they influenced your writing and to support your conclusions. Note that direct quotations should be used sparingly and the paper should be written in your own words. Review your APA manual for formatting in-text and parenthetical citations and references.
