Community Health Status Alaska Natives face climate-related health challenges. Climate change has led to heatstroke, mental stress, and diseases. As heat emissions accumulate in the atmosphere, Alaska, as an Earth’s polar region, becomes hotter than regions at lower latitudes (Middlebrook et al., 2019). The rapid environmental changes resulting from extreme warming has caused significant physical and mental health problems among rural Alaskans. Unpredictable weather and season changes have led to food harvesting challenges, exposing farmers to food hazards and stress. According to Acton et al. (2020), physical injury risks have increased as severe weather, poor rice, and coastal erosion trigger new travel hazards. Alaska Natives also face food security issues, which are critical for the community’s health and well-being. Difficult harvesting conditions for fish, barriers, caribou, shellfish, and sea mammals have raised critical concerns about food security. Furthermore, snowpack decline, drought threats, changes in river and lake conditions, damage, and disruption to public water systems have raised water security concerns. Middlebrook et al. (2019) suggest that the Alaska Native health system should recognize the community vulnerabilities and new stressors caused…

Thomas‘s case  Considering the six cases, I am intrigued by Thomas’s case. Thomas’s case is relevant in today’s world, considering many families are struggling with metabolic diseases like obesity, which in most cases, leads to high blood pressure. Most people have embraced ignorance that they assume metabolic diseases are triggered by genetics; little do they know that most metabolic diseases are triggered by environmental factors like frequent feeding from fast food outlets, which do offer high glycemic and insulin index food. This has seen the disruption of hormones in the body like insulin that causes the intake of calories to the body tissues leading to weight and fat gain. Weight and fat gain are predisposing factors for developing obesity that could lead to high blood pressure. Thomas‘s case is easier to handle since his case is triggered by external factors. These external factors can be easily controlled and avoided at all. By refusing to eat from fast food outlets that do provide unsuitable food is one step in controlling obesity. Avoiding a sedentary lifestyle is necessary to achieve insulin sensitivity;…

Acting Thanks to the actors who portray them in the film, movie characters become famous. And it’s not shocking that it’s so difficult to picture how a film will be like if someone else portrayed the main role. However, there are several cases when actors were substituted in Hollywood films, or the casting process didn’t go as planned. Actors that were correctly cast in their parts include Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix as Joker in the Dark Knight and Joker, respectively, Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in the Godfather. These actors fit in the portrayed characters’ shoes in the film, making the audience feel and be entangled by emotionally experiencing what the characters are going through. Actors such as Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes in the Batman Begins did not engage the audience deeply with her characters’ portrayal. Christopher Nolan casting Katie Holmes was not a wise decision for the first film replacing her with Maggie Gyllenhaal in the sequel film. Great actors understand how to use facial expression, voice quality, and body movement to immerse the virtual experience audience.…

The users of social media are regularly counseled to nurture their online identities with diligence and understanding. However, it is the scenario that has not been well embraced by the youths and especially college students who confront the codes of standardizing self – representation within the digital contexts. The article sought to study online representation within the spread-out social media network that is inclusive of Instagram, Linkedln, Snapchat, and Twitter. The exploring of those social media platforms showed that many young people spend the most time on them. Besides, it was noted that the privacy settings of these social media platforms were just shallow. It is an aspect that made it easy to view the posts being posted by a specific person in three accounts. Thus, it means that hackers can interfere with the posts and comment on something unethical that might lose the opportunity, especially for youths. It was observed that…

  Theoretical understanding of CSR in a company Introduction Corporate social responsibility involves a company or a business taking into account the impact it has on the economy, social life, and the environment besides launching initiatives that positively impact the people. When a company decides to do the right thing, it does not only do for financial gains but also builds trust with the consumers who depend on it. When a company is socially friendly, it will attract more consumers since the community will chip in their support. Most of the United States companies have embraced CSR because it has a greater impact on its products to its consumers. An exapmle of such company is Google, which has come out strongly to oppose environmentally friendly initiatives and against social issues raised by President Donald Trump on anti-Muslims comments. Thus, the paper seeks to explore the theoretical understanding of corporate social responsibility. CSR policy employed by Walmart.

                Criminal Justice and Policy Author Institution               The criminal justice system is essential in any state because it controls and prevents crime while administering justice. Discretion is an individuals’ ability in the criminal justice system to make operational decisions based on personal judgment instead of following formal rules. Different individuals in the criminal justice system decide what to do based on the situations present to eliminate the pressure that a system’s overload brings with it, political considerations, personal values, and morals. Discretion forms the informal part of the criminal justice system(III & Edwards, 2015). The letter of the law involves strict adherence to the law while applying the statute’s spirit and policy.

  What do you think about the two “Mistakes we should avoid?” The author briefly explains two common pitfalls to avoid in an attempt to attain successful creativity. The first mistake is thinking that you only need to be creative on occasion. This implies taking the initiative to be creative once in a while when the known skills and habits fail. The challenge is in tarrying until the last moment and then having hope to abruptly become creative, just long enough to provide a solution to the problem. The second mistake has hope that there is one great idea out there. Occasionally, most people think that the answer to a question will likely be a thought that dawns on them in that time of clarity. Surprisingly, creativity studies show that the likelihood of creativity arriving as a single great idea is minimal. Notably, solutions of the invention are brought to manifest by small, numerous sparks of creativity. Go through the Personal Creativity Assessment. Which areas are your strongest and weakest?
