Importance of Vaccination

Mary’s one year old daughter is due to be given the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine during her next visit to the doctor. Mary is upset and concerned because one of her friend’s sons became ill after a similar vaccination. She has also heard rumors that MMR vaccine causes rubella. Mary was also told that her daughter will need to be vaccinated before Mary returns to work.

Mary is not alone. Many parents face this issue. Therefore, it is important for Mary and all such parents to make decisions that are best for their children, based on facts and not emotions.

Place yourself in the role of a health care worker, submit to the discussion area your plan to validate the importance of vaccination by addressing the following questions:

• Why are vaccinations necessary components of the healthcare programs?
• Are there reasons for people not being vaccinated despite of such elaborate healthcare programs? Explain.
• What are the consequences of people not being vaccinated?
• What is the impact of religious, cultural, legal, and ethical issues that parents need to consider before vaccination?
• What type of information will help the parents make an informed decision about vaccinating their children?

 

Today, more than any other time in history, there is growing support to move away from nonrenewable resources towards developing renewable resources to meet current and future energy needs. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources that continue to negatively impact the environment. It is important to learn how these resources are formed since this process of formation is at the very heart of why fossil fuels are considered to be nonrenewable.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the nonrenewable resource assigned to you:

• Coal
• Natural gas
• Petroleum (oil)

Note: You are assigned a resource based on the first initial of your last name. Last names beginning with A–J research coal, names beginning with K–R research natural gas, and names beginning S–Z research oil.

Respond to the following:

• Describe how this nonrenewable resource was initially formed.
• Briefly explain where the major reserves of this nonrenewable resource are located and how it is extracted.
• Examine the environmental impact caused by the extraction process.
• Explain how this nonrenewable resource is used to produce energy, and identify the pollution problems that are caused from this energy source.

In an increasingly globalized society, the workplace is being transformed into worldwide teams connected by virtual environments. Similarly, higher education has also become global in scope, as e-learning technologies permit students and teachers to work together regardless of physical location. Still, participants in virtual environments bring their own cultural perceptions, values, and behaviors to these new channels of communication, just as they do in face-to-face encounters.

Read the articles Virtual Multicultural Teams: Real Communication in the Virtual World and Discerning Culture in E-Learning and in the Global Workplace. Discuss the benefits and limitations of virtual environments in facilitating and improving intercultural communication, considering both the workplace and the e-learning contexts.

The paper must be two to three pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must utilize at least two scholarly sources, the two articles, and the course text. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
