4. Suggest at least one (1) possible improvement to promote early detection and enhanced surveillance.
5. Use at least four (4) recent (within the last five [5] years), quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Is there a specific or narrow expectation of how people of a race are assumed to look?

Television is an interesting form of entertainment.  With a proper cable subscription, one’s television can display 75+ channels of moving pictures.  At some point in our lives, we have watched television.  There are numerous reasons why television appeals to many people.  In an effort to appeal to large numbers of people, many television shows look to outdo one another for ratings.  Unfortunately, a quest for ratings sometimes leads to a lack of valuable and educational material.  While it is easy to chastise television for some of its raunchier shows, we might agree that television can offer some valuable, quality television programs.

 

For this essay assignment, consider the following:

 

In your opinion, is television good or bad for American society?  In either case, what evidence can you provide to strengthen your point?

 

For this essay, you will want to do the following:

• Choose 1 or 2 shows that can help strengthen your argument (focusing on too many shows will cause you to lose track of your main point)
• Incorporate outside sources that agree and help strengthen your position in the essay (a minimum of 2 sources are required aside from your television show as an example)
• Remember that it is not enough to say, “Television is bad” or “Television is a good thing.”  You must explain how and why.

APA Format:

• Length is 3 pages
• Font: Times New Roman
• Spacing: double-spaced

Remember, a strong essay will have a clear thesis statement that establishes your position.  The remainder of your essay will support your thesis statement with reasons and evidence.

• Interviews: Management personnel, supervisors, and employees
• Observation: Walk through some workplaces to observe conditions for yourself.

2. For each management system element, discuss the objective evidence you found (or were unable to find). Evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s implementation of each element against an available reference sources and best practice information. Use the following five-tier evaluation scheme to rate each element:

• World Class: OHS performance
• Strong: Conforming/complete, may have minor gaps with action plans
• Moderate: Scattered non-conformances need to be addressed, positive trends/major elements in place
• Significant Non-Conformances Exist: Still needs focus
• Major Effort Required: Major or systemic non-conformances exist

Appropriate references include the course textbook, textbooks from other college level courses, ANSI/AIHA Z10-2012, other published consensus standards (ANSI, ASSE, AIHA, ISO, NFPA, etc.), OSHA standards and voluntary guidelines, and articles published in professional journals.
