Discuss how you would take the sexual history from an adolescent. Which areas would you need to address during your discussion with an adolescent?

/in /by

  • In your opinion, what are the two most important factors that influence adolescent development?
  • In the Western culture, there are a variety of health services available for adolescents. What is missing in Western society that would benefit health promotion for adolescents?
  • How do the health problems faced by adolescents impact their health and wellness in their lifetimes?
  • Discuss how you would take the sexual history from an adolescent. Which areas would you need to address during your discussion with an adolescent?
    • .Adult family members, community leaders, religious and faith groups, institutions and peers all influence young people and their health and development Gender stereotypes also interfere with the professional judgement of health workers concerning the sexual, reproductive and mental health both of adolescent girls and of young people whose sexual orientation remains uncertain. Associated sex-role stereotypes prevent women from even knowing they experience discrimination, sexual coercion, exploitation or abuse     Poor adolescents bear a disproportionate burden of the health problems in their age group. Indicates a strong association between poverty and the health status of adolescents and between poverty and adolescents’ use of health services. Similar disparities between rich and poor adolescents are seen for indicators such as early marriage, skilled attendance at birth, use of contraception, and knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission, and these disparities tend to be greater for adolescents than for older women (Lule et al., 2006).]]>

    What are some specific examples from the video that suggest ecosystems and the islanders’ way of life are changing?

    /in /by

    http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/prcc12_vid_mctprob1/ As you watch the video, focus on how life has changed for the islanders and the land itself.  

    1. What are some specific examples from the video that suggest ecosystems and the islanders’ way of life are changing?
    2. What is a biodiversity hotspot? How does Micronesia meet the criteria for a biodiversity hotspot?
    3. What are some of the causes for the loss of biodiversity in Micronesia? Describe at least one of the endemic species (either plant or animal) that is under threat due to habitat loss or degradation.
      PART TWO (1 PAGE WITH REFFERENCE )   Population growth and distribution have significant roles to play in the sustainability of the world’s vast resources. Several studies have indicated that uncontrolled growth of deer populations lead to negative ecological consequences, including decreased biodiversity. The result of the deer overpopulation in many areas has led to radical alterations of shrub architecture, contributing to increased habitat loss for some important species. Many people have varying opinions on the best way to approach the issue. Watch the following video about the deer overpopulation in Wayne County, PA (from 2015). http://wnep.com/2015/01/06/controversial-plan-to-manage-deer-population/ Also, read the following article: Pursell, A., Weldy, T. & White, M. (2013). Too Many Deer: A Bigger Threat to Eastern Forests than Climate Change? Cool Green Science. Accessed at http://blog.nature.org/science/2013/08/22/too-many-deer/ on August 16, 2016.
    1. Why are so many deer populating the eastern forests? How did regulatory laws, human activity and ecosystem changes cause the deer population to increase over time?
    2. How are the local communities being affected by the deer population?
    3. What are some possible solutions to the overpopulation of deer in the eastern forests? How could you monitor your proposed solutions in order to ensure success?

    Give some thought to how we can identify our informant in virtual ethnography. what are your ideas?

    /in /by

    https://archive.org/details/WeschYouTube Click on the link above to watch the video.( 55:00) Please watch the video (YouTube). (https://archive.org/details/WeschYouTube) And after watching the video, please write down answer to the question below. The answer to the question must be found in the video. Below are seven questions. Each questions, I need 150 words. Michael Wesch You Tube ethnography video. Q1) The video explores a list of topics in relation to the You Tube phenomenon. Select from the list below and discuss how the video explores these topic. Then include in your discussion where else in society these functions are served. – The Medium and other subtopics including Mediascapes, Vlogging, Video aesthetics, and Virtual worlds. Q2) As we have previously discussed in class culture is defined by time and space Apply these defining components of culture to You Tube culture. For example, How do we gave to alter or expand our definitions of time and space when working and researching in the world? Q3) Give some thought to how we can identify our informant in virtual ethnography. what are your ideas? Q4. A) In the video a speaker discussing piracy calls this an age of prohibition. He talks about how corrupting it is to force young people to “live against the law” What is he referring to? How do you feel about these observations? Q4. B) Related to this Discussion is the idea of Context Collapse as mentioned in the video. Discuss your thoughts about this. Is this a new phenomenon? Why or why not, explain. Q5.) Wesch Hypothesizes, that the internet is serving a purpose of function that is missing in modern “suburban: life. That the internet is mediating the split between the virtual and the physical because the physical does not have what people need anymore.   Q6.) Do you think more like Wesch or like Boellstorff. why?]]>

    Why is biodiversity important? What are some of the benefits of biodiversity?

    /in /by

  • Define biodiversity.
  • Why is biodiversity important? What are some of the benefits of biodiversity?
  • How is biodiversity measured?
  • What is extinction? What is causing it today?
  • What is the Endangered Species Act? What is it meant to do? (reflect on the economic consequences of the Act as we will be delving into the topic more later on)
  • What are some of the most and least diverse species in your local area? Try the interactive map called the “Map of Life” developed by a research team from both Yale University and the University of Colorado Boulder (this tool is still in development). The link can be found here: https://www.mol.org/location/32.045/-471.489/. You can zoom into the map and find your local area (or another area of interest to you). The example map below demonstrates the most diverse species in Tucson, AZ as being birds, whereas palm plants have the least diversity. Describe your chosen area in your essay and copy and paste the chart area showing the most and least diverse species in your area (map of United States does not need to be copied, only the species chart). Were you surprised by the results? Why or why not?
  • What can you do as an individual to help slow the loss of biodiversity?
