IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

Community engagement (CE) is a process where a group of people from the same geographic proximity, special interests or similar circumstances work collaboratively and effectively on issues that are affecting them. Community engagement consists of various principles, such as community capacity, empowerment, critical consciousness, participation and relevance, and health equity. Community capacity is the characteristics of the community that affects their abilities to identify and address problems, also, this concept promotes unity. Empowerment promotes co-learning, integrated knowledge and action and the ability to gain mastery over their lives and the lives of their community through a process called social action. Critical consciousness is a consciousness based on the cycle of reflection and action toward social change and the involvement of cyclical and iterative processes. Participation and relevance depict the ideology of community organization starting where the people are from and promoting equality of individuals in their own priorities and ensuring cultural relevancy. Health Equity is the process of addressing inequitable conditions that create health disparities such as identifying social determinants of health (Glanz et al., 2015).

Community organizing (CO) is a process where groups of individuals mobilize to address common issues and take action toward the issues. Community building (CB) is the process of engaging and collectively building a community between the neighborhood and the people. These two models are sometimes looked at as one model and are used interchangeably and they are similar in that they focus on the principles of social action and social justice. CO is more power-based social change, therefore, those who practice CO believes that to produce or affect change, the community must create an organization that can modify and redistribute power. Whereas, CB is more relationship-based social change and those who practice CB believes building a strong, compassionate, and respectful relationship among the members of the community is more effective (Glanz et al., 2015) (Wolff, 2008).

An example of the community model effectiveness is a setting of a predominantly minority-based inner-city community, that is experiencing social determinants of health through prejudiced treatment by healthcare providers. The community engagement health equity principle is a good example of health intervention for this situation, such as addressing the inequitable conditions that are creating the health disparities and social determinants of health problems. Additionally, allocating resources to the community, and implementing mandatory training programs for healthcare providers on health equity (Glanz et al., 2015) (O’Mara-Eves et al. 2015). A model that is appropriate for this health behavior is the world health organization’s social determinant of health model which describes contributing factors to health disparities due to health inequalities and solutions for improving such situations (World Health Organization [WHO], 2010).

Introduction
This week, we looked at two ethical codes— one for the Project Management Institute, and one for Engineers. Appropriate professional behavior, practice, and discipline varies among professions and reflects the needs and values of the professional society in question. In this discussion, you will assume professional roles as we work on a fictional scenario.

Scenario
It is 2020, and General Foryota Company opens a plant in which to build a new mass-produced hover-craft. This hover-craft will work using E-85 Ethanol, will travel up to 200 mph, and will reduce pollution worldwide at a rate of 10 percent per year. It is likely that when all automobiles in the industrial world have been changed over to hovercrafts, emission of greenhouse gasses may be so reduced that global warming may end and air quality will become completely refreshed.

However, the downside is that during the transition time, GFC’s Hover-Vee (only available in red or black), will most likely put all transportation as we know it in major dissaray. Roadways will no longer be necessary, but new methods of controlling traffic will be required. Further, while the old version of cars are still being used, Hover-vee’s will cause accidents, parking issues, and most likely class envy and warfare. The sticker price on the first two models will be about four times that of the average SUV (to about $200,000.) Even so, GFC’s marketing futurists have let them know that they will be able to pre-sell their first three years of expected production, with a potential waiting list which will take between 15 and 20 years to fill.

The Chief Engineer (CE) of GFC commissions a study on potential liabilities for the Hover-vees. The preliminary result is that Hover-vees will likely kill or maim humans at an increased rate of double to triple over automobile travel because of collisions and crashes at high speeds — projected annual death rates of 100,000 to 200,000. However, global warming will end, and the environment will flourish.

The U. S. Government gets wind of the plans. Congress begins to discuss the rules on who can own and operate Hover-vees. GFC’s stock skyrockets. The Chief Engineer takes the results of the study to the Chief Legal Counsel (CLC), and together they agree to bury the study, going forward with the production plans. The Chief Project Manager (CPM), who has read the study and agreed to bury it, goes ahead and plans out the project for the company, with target dates and production deadlines.

Our class is a team of young lawyers, project managers, engineers, and congressional aides who are all part of the process of helping get this project off the ground. In fact, according to the first letter of your last name, you are the following team:

• A-G: Attorney on the GFC team
• H-N: Project Manager on the GFC team
• 0-S: Engineer on the GFC team
• T-Z: Congressional Aide

Somebody sent a secret copy of the report to you at your home address. It has no information in it at all, except for the report showing the proof of the increase in accidents and deaths. The report shows, on its face, that the CE, CLC, CPM, and your Congressional Representative have seen copies of this report. On the front there are these words typed in red: They knew — they buried this. Please save the world!

Each of you feel a very loyal tie to your boss and your company/country. You all have mortgages, and families to feed. It is likely if you blow the whistle on this report, you will lose your job and your livelihood. You’re not even sure who wrote the study in your envelope or who actually sent it to you.

Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, address all of the following:

• Utilizing your profession’s code of ethics, what would be your first step?
• Who would you talk to first?
• Would you go to the press?
• Would you go to your boss?
• Should you do anything at all?

Research professional ethics codes with international scope to see the guidance given for dilemmas such as this.

Hello good morning. I need assistance with a few assignments for my Statistics Class

In this talk, Adam Savage walks through two spectacular examples of profound scientific discoveries that came from simple, creative methods anyone could have followed — Eratosthenes’ calculation of the Earth’s circumference around 200 BC and Hippolyte Fizeau’s measurement of the speed of light in 1849.
