Scenario

You are newly appointed to the communication team for a reputable philanthropic organization. The current task is for your team to create a global campaign that visually conveys a social message both here in the United States, as well as globally. This visual campaign “Anti Racism”message will use strategic visual communication to appeal to these differing audiences to reduce and potentially eliminate racial prejudice. Your visual communication campaign will be directed toward audiences from both the United States and another country of your choice.

  Create two social media posts, one for the United States and one for the other country of your choice. The posts should include text, images, and the logo matching the country where the social media post will appear. Be sure to compare and analyze how these visual elements (the images and the logo) emotionally engage and persuade each specified target audience (the United States and the country of your choice) to reduce and eliminate racial prejudice. 

· Develop your position about the individual rights to control the spread of communicable diseases for the good of society.

· Survey the role of boards of health in your community and state to determine how communicable diseases are prevented and controlled. 

·150-word minimum/250-word maximum without the reference(s).

·  Minimum of one reference, APA format.

In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, research the topic of menopause and address the following:

1. Explain perimenopause, surgical menopause, stress menopause, and postmenopause.
2. Describe the signs of menopause.
3. Which other life changes (e.g., physical, psychosocial, and cognitive) may influence a women’s experience during menopause?
4. Which women are at the highest risk for osteoporosis?
5. Describe the traditional and alternative therapies for the conditions associated with menopause.
6. Suggest appropriate health, nutrition, and exercise guidelines for middle-aged and older adults.

Be sure to include APA citations for any resources you used as references.

Your final paper will consist of a consolidation study.  You are to make a case either for or against the benefits of consolidation.  You can use the fire department from your Week 4 paper or choose another fire department.  In many areas of the country, fire departments are undergoing consolidation.  As communities grow and populations increase, some fire departments are considering combining with other departments in order to avoid duplication of services, reduce costs, and a variety of other reasons.  
 

You are to choose a fire department (“Department A”) and analyze the services offered to the citizens. Assume that a neighboring department (“Department B”) provides similar fire services, although possibly at a different level.  Your goal with this paper is to determine whether or not there are benefits to consolidating two fire departments into a single department.  
 

Assume your are a Fire Chief of “Department A” that is considering absorbing “Department B.”  You are writing this paper to make a case to your City Council or County Council as to whether or not it would be advantageous to consolidate and absorb “Department B.” 

Part 1.  Report on the overall budget of both fire departments.  Include the populations covered, the size of the departments, number of stations, services offered, ISO rating, etc. Give an overall view of both of the departments’ budget.
 

Part 2.  Make an argument as to whether or not consolidation of services into a single department would make sense from a financial standpoint.  Analyze whether or not it would make sense to combine budgets in order to offer the same fire services, or possibly even better fire services, to the citizens to be covered under the consolidated fire department.  
 

Part 3.  Explain how you would handle the change from two fire departments into a single department.  If you are for consolidation, how would your command structure change?  How would you absorb the personnel from the other fire department?  Would you keep the same staffing at all of the stations?  Would you keep all the stations open, or are there some that could be closed?  How would you handle fire prevention and inspection efforts?  If you are against consolidation, explain why.  These are only some of the issues you should cover.  Feel free to include others.  
 

Your paper should be a minimum of four pages and should be submitted in APA format.  Use your textbook, the internet, professional journals as well as information you gain from personal interviews.  You must use a minimum of four sources.
