Question # 2 ( 2-4 pages) Write a 2–4-page paper (excluding cover page) responding to the following: Officer James Armstrong, School Resource Officer at Riverside High School, has discovered spray-painted graffiti on the concession stand of the school’s football field. Officer Armstrong has recently attending a Gang Investigation course and recognizes that the graffiti looks suspiciously like gang related artwork.

Question #3 ( one paragraph) Topic: The Flu, Coronaviruses, and Vaccines Humans have been plagued by disease throughout history and just about everyone has experienced a virus like influenza (flu) or common cold at some point in time. During your life, you will probably have more cold or flu infections than any other type of illness. Humans have an amazing immune system that helps them fight foreign invaders, but sometimes the way your body fights these invaders causes unpleasant side effects that are often treated with over-the-counter medications. Scientists have attempted to research, identify, and understand the various causes of disease and illness. In modern times, researchers have identified specific viruses and bacteria that are responsible for outbreaks around the globe. Some of these include influenza, E. coli, rhinovirus, Salmonella, HIV, and Listeria just to name a few. While bacteria and viruses both cause illness, they act very differently in the body and the treatments also vary. Antibiotics can be used to kill bacterial infections and vaccines have been developed to prevent the spread of viruses. One example of a type of virus that causes disease is the coronavirus. This group of viruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surface, and several types of coronavirus have been identified. Some are responsible for common-cold symptoms, and others have been linked to more serious diseases including MERS and SARS. In late 2019, a novel (new) coronavirus was detected and quickly spread around the world. Labeled COVID-19 (CO=corona, VI=virus, D=disease, 19=2019), this new coronavirus is highly contagious and life-threatening. Similar to the flu, COVID-19 is passed from infected people to healthy individuals, causing a range of symptoms and outcomes. Conduct your own research on the flu, coronaviruses (including COVID-19), the common cold, and vaccines, and then answer the questions for this discussion. You can also explore these references: · Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (n.d.). Get the facts about coronavirus.

How are these diseases similar and how are they different? 2. Should antibiotics be taken to treat the flu or a cold? Why, or why not? 3. Why is it recommended that you get a flu shot each year? a. What is your opinion about getting the flu shot? 4. You all have your own strategies for preventing or recovering from a cold. Please share your favorite strategy for preventing or fighting the common cold. Find and cite a source (reputable if possible) that either supports or disputes your favorite strategy. a.

Evaluate the credibility of the source you provided (Hint: Sometimes you can find this information at the bottom of the main page). i. Can you find the author? ii. Is the material reliable? Is it written objectively? 5. How can genetic engineering and DNA replication help researchers working on treatments for viral illnesses? a. Do you think there should be limitations on genetic modification or genetic research for medical uses? Explain. Question #4 ( 600 word requirement) In Unit 1 you learned how to determine whether a resource was reliable and reputable and how to best apply such a source of information to your everyday life. To reinforce this skill, you will apply this knowledge by researching and evaluating two different resources on one scientific topic. Pick a topic that is related to any field of science, such as chemistry, physics, biology, or geology, and think of a question that you would like to find an answer to. For example, “Is global warming causing more earthquakes?” Or “What is the best treatment for my allergies?” Once you have selected your question, answer the following questions in an APA style essay. To complete this Assignment: 1. Identify the science question you would like answered and why you chose that topic. 2. Locate two resources about the scientific topic that interests you: a. one from a scientifically reputable resource and b. another from a questionable resource. 3. Write a brief summary for both of these two articles and an explanation of the differences between the reliability of these resources. 4. What characteristics make one more scientifically valid than the other? What criteria did you use to make your determination? Be sure to indicate which resource is the scientifically reputable resource and which resource’s reliability is questionable. 5. Present both your resources in APA format on the reference page. For help with citations, refer to the APA Quick Reference Guide.

Question #5 ( one paragraph) Topic: Civics, Citizens, and Public Policy “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! ” -- Emma Lazarus Every year hundreds of thousands of immigrants become citizens of the United States. One of the requirements for naturalization (obtaining citizenship) is the Naturalization Test. Immigrants are provided a Naturalization Test Study Guide to which ten questions at random are asked during the examination. In order to pass the test an immigrant seeking citizenship must answer six out of ten questions correctly. As you know, American citizens do not have to pass any such citizenship test in order to partake in this great republic. Unfortunately, many Americans are not conversant about the basic functions of their own governmental institutions. According to the Annenberg Public Policy Center only one out four citizens can name the three branches – Legislative, Executive, and Judicial -- of U.S. government. Nearly one out of three citizens could not name any branches of the U.S. government (Annenberg, 2016). Additionally, according to the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, “Only one in three Americans (36 percent) can actually pass a multiple-choice test consisting of items taken from the U.S. Citizenship Test” (WWNFF, 2018). Directions: Using the required, academic readings and the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services Practice Test, please address the following while adhering to the Discussion Board Rubric: · Take the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services practice test. · What content would you include within the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services practice test that could help citizens understand their role in the public policy? · How does an understanding of U.S. civics help citizens vote and engage in the public policy? Question #6 ( 400 word requirement) SHAPING PUBLIC POLICY Clothes make the poor invisible.... America has the best-dressed poverty the world has ever known.” -- Michael Harrington Public policy is how government, at the federal, state, and local levels address public concerns.
