Once you are confident of the structure of your Final Capstone Research Paper, put the finishing touches on the accompanying Oral Presentation of Capstone Research (Scaffold Step #5). Be sure it reflects the latest findings from your research, and leads convincingly to your proposed solution!

As noted in Module 7, your presentation must:

• Frame the selected issue within your field of study
• Explain the significance of the issue
• Highlight key points of agreement and disagreement presented in the literature review
• Address the issues of diversity and ethics as they relate to your selected topic
• Reflect a reasoned analysis of the ethical issues and competing perspectives
• Use scholarly sources
• Reveal your proposed solution, how you arrived at it, and possible next steps

Your presentation should reflect appropriate critical thinking and senior-level oral and written communication skills. Remember to use internal transitions to help your audience stay on track. As you practiced in the pre-assessment for oral communication, orally cite your sources as you use the information.

Discussion 1: Western and Eastern Medical Practices

Most people would agree that no one knows your body better than you do. Before the first symptoms fully surface, you might sense a disruption in your body’s functioning. How would you respond to the onset of a headache? If you practice Western medicine, you might take a pain reliever for the headache and relax in a dark room. If you practice Eastern medicine, you might take a steamy bath to sooth your tense neck muscles and relieve congestion that might be contributing to your headache. Or you might seek a massage to relieve the stress that might be causing the headache. It fact, it is not uncommon for individuals to sample remedies from both medical practices in order to reap the results they seek. Regardless of the medical approach you prefer, there are a wide variety of stress reducing options to improve your health and fit your lifestyle.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources including the “Varying Philosophies of Medical Care” handout. Research complementary and alternative stress management approaches in the Walden Library and on the website for the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) (http://nccam.nih.gov/). Select a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) discussed at NCCAM. Consider how the CAM you selected might effectively reduce stress. Reflect on any contraindications that might exist with regard to its use.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) you selected. Then, explain how this CAM is effective in reducing stress. Finally, explain any contraindications or cautions with this type of stress management strategy. Use the current literature to support your response.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

1. Topic: How do marketers change attitudes?

What is your favorite low cost way to create pdf files? If you were at a law firm meeting, and the subject came up of ways to create pdf files, would you recommend using Adobe Acrobat or other programs? What are the pros and cons of each? Work on at least two or three alternatives and include pricing options. Assume that you need to buy licenses for at least three users, because you have three office locations.
