...destruction of our planet. Some conclude that a small parcel of land removed of trees is harmless, but, in fact, the failure to manage and restore ecosystems properly over the last several decades has brought us to where we are today. The point, all too often ignored, is this trend is being driven in large part by a combination of population growth and increasing per capita consumption, and it cannot long be continued without risking a collapse of our now-global civilization, (Erhlich, 2008). I do not agree with Frontierism. The blatant ignorance of destruction to the environment and surrounding ecosystems is ridiculous. Frontierism affects environmental sustainability by creating disruption within the ecosystem by removing what has taken thousands of years to produce and interrupts the balance within the surrounding environment for renewable resources. According to our text, “lacking an understanding of ecology and the consequences of abusing the life-support systems of the planet, frontier societies plundered one ecosystem after another,” (Chiras, 2013, p. 37).

...1. Explain how health is affected by behaviors, economics, and social structure. Health is defined by The World Health Organization (WHO) as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO Constitution).Based on this definition there are many things to consider that may affect one’s health. Individual behaviors, economics, and social structure are some things that play a major role in one’s overall health. With respect to behavior, the Centers for Disease and Control state there are six behaviors that affect a person’s health of which most are under the individuals control and include: alcohol and drug use, smoking, injury and violence, physical activity and sexual risk. Economics affect one’s health when it comes to affordability of preventive measures and access which are directly affected by the state of the economy. For people who are in a less affluent status, they may not be able to purchase the more nutritious option in a grocery store and will have to resort to buying enriched and over processed food products that are less expensive. These types of groceries do not provide the necessary nutrition and with prolonged consumption of these goods, can lead to adverse health effects such as obesity and diabetes. 2.

...1 Health Care Issues in the United States Ashley Barnes Dr. George Ojie-Ahamiojie Health Services Organization Management July 15, 2010 2 Describe how health is affected by behaviors, economics and social structure. When it comes to our health, there are numerous factors that play a part in whether or not we stay healthy or not; some factors we can control(physical activity & nutrition), while others are not always up to us to decide (poverty level, income). There are six key factors identified by the Centers for Disease Control(CDC) (2010) that affect the health of individuals: alcohol and drug use, smoking, injury and violence, physical activity and sexual risk behaviors. A majority of these factors an individual can chose to engage in or not, however, economic situation and social structure can impact those decisions as well. For people who are in a less affluent status, they may not be able to purchase the more nutritious option in a grocery store and will have to resort to buying enriched and over processed food products that are less expensive. These types of groceries do not provide the necessary nutrition and with prolonged consumption of these goods, can lead to adverse health effects such as obesity and diabetes. Engaging in behaviors such as drinking, risky sex and violence can lead to issues later in life if started at a young age, and contribute to education and social problems that the United States currently faces (CDC, 2010).

...to assist the nonprofit organization in raising fund or to benefit the society by supporting a cause. P.R. Varadarajan and A. Menon (1988) have seen Cause Related Marketing in the early stages but absolutely in a projective way. They defined Cause Related Marketing as the process of formulating and implementing marketing activities that are characterized by an offer from the firm to contribute a specified amount to a designated cause when customers engage in revenue-providing exchanges that satisfy organizational and individual objectives. Kevin Keller and Philip Kotler (2006), in agreement with Varadarajan and Menon Cause related Marketing is that marketing activity that links the firm’s contributions to a designated cause to customers’ engaging directly or indirectly in revenue producing transactions with the firm. On the other hand, "Cause marketing is the action through which a company, a nonprofit organization, or a similar entity markets an image, a product, a service, or a message for mutual benefit of the entity and the cause," writes Marconi in the first chapter of the book Cause Marketing. Barone, Miyazaki and Taylor (2000) noted that there are actually two approaches to cause related marketing. The direct approach, described above by Varadarajan and Menon, links the size of donation to sales of particular products. An example of this is Bashundara Tissue, recently the commenced a new baby diaper and baby tissue, at eve of the launch, they enunciate to donate tk. 1...

...Effects of Employment on Student Academic Success Compiled December 2006 BYU Employment Services The average yearly costs of education continue to increase around the country. According to the College Board’s “Trends in College Pricing”, the 20062007 average total costs (including tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and other expenses) are $16,357 for fouryear public colleges and universities; and $33,301 for fouryear private colleges and universities. These costs represent nearly a 6 percent tuition increase from 20052006. Inflation during that same period was approximately 4 percent. As anxiety rises concerning the escalating costs of schooling, students are left with the decision of how to fund their education. Some take out loans, or qualify for grants or scholarships. Others, however, are left to pay their own way by means of fulltime or parttime employment. Approximately 80 percent of all college students are employed while completing their undergraduate education (Riggert). Many studies have been conducted to determine the effects of fulltime and parttime employment on the academic success of college students. The purpose of this paper is to summarize some of the general findings and implications of these studies, and to provide suggestions regarding how university studentemployment offices may utilize these data. Effects on GPA A major factor in determining the positive or negative effects of employment on the ...

...What is Your Carbon Footprint? Carbon footprint, what is that? It is a measurement of the environmental impact of a particular individual or organization’s lifestyle or operation, measured in units of carbon dioxide. Upon calculating my own carbon footprint, the results were 19,373 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Compared to the United States average of 20,750 pounds. Surprisingly that is only a difference of 1,377 pounds. In comparison to other countries like China, which are approximately 21,995 pounds and India at an estimated 1,245 pounds. The United States falls in the median at 20,750 pounds. That is a difference of 4% with China and 13% with India. What makes the difference? Any attempt to decrease the effects of your carbon emissions by either participating in other activities which have the same end results. There is a plethora of ways to offset your carbon emissions. For instance, on the road remember to stay intact with your vehicle’s maintenance and upkeep. Ensure you are getting tune-ups according manufacturer’s specifications for your make and model. Check your vehicles tire pressure and fluids, often. Reduction in the load you carry in your vehicle can also help. Also, utilize renewable fuels like E85. At home, switch out your regular light bulbs for the energy efficient bulbs. Turn off and or unplug any electronic devices when not in use. Utilize “Blackout Curtains” in rooms with lots of sunlight to regulate temperate...

...home 1. Describe the differences between nonprofit and for-profit hospitals. The general belief or theory is that nonprofit hospitals do a better job of focusing on their people; that is, they provide better quality of care. On the other hand, for-profit hospitals are more business oriented; more emphasis is placed on cost and operating efficiency than nonprofit hospital does. I believe this is a significant difference because while staff members in a nonprofit hospital may see themselves as caregivers, staff members in for-profit may seemingly see themselves as cogs in a production wheel. The mission and purpose for these two types of hospitals is also a very important and makes a significant difference. Financial pressures have forced all hospitals to focus on costs and operating efficiency, blurring the line between money and mission. Still, nonprofit employees believe more strongly that their organization's mission makes them feel that their jobs are important. It seems that the mission of care delivery tends to be more prominent in nonprofit hospitals. Hence, it may be safe to say that nonprofit hospitals do a better job than for-profit hospitals of making their staff feel that their contributions are valued and meaningful. Lastly, another difference would be in the area of materials and equipments needed to do the work right. With a focus on operating efficiency, for-profit hospitals frequently operate with lower staffing ratios (Woolhandler & Himmelstein, 2004)...

...SUCH A THING AS GLOBAL PUBLIC RELATIONS-ONLY LOCAL PUBLIC RELATIONS.DISCUSS “It is widely accepted amongst economists that since World War II, the world has been integrated into a single market by lowering trade and investment” (Hill, 2001, p.17). Under this lowering integrated and interdependent world economy, often described as “global economy,” individuals’ nation’s economic gains are much greater than the losses through free flow of goods, services, and capital. The multilateral negotiations among nations, the international organizations to monitor and develop international trade and monetary system, World Trade organization, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank are good illustrations to represent this trend of world economy. Further, Phatak (1997, p.3) claimed that globalization of world economy leads to globalization of other societal entities such as politics, education, and culture etc. Conversely, in the field of public relations, this environmental change led by globalization means opportunities and challenges to practitioners as well as scholars. According to Cutlip, and Broom (2000, p.6), public relations is the management of function that establishes and maintains mutually beneficial relationships between an organization and the public’s on whom its success and failures depends. In other words, public relations is all about the liaison between an organization and the public. Without a clear definition of publics, the discourse of...
