Using the information you learned from the readings you have reviewed this week to support your answers, address these questions in your discussion post.
1. If you were in charge of distributing one-hundred million dollars in research funds but could only chose one viral disease to provide for, which disease would you endow and why?
2. How do you think the medical and scientific community should use your millions?
When you reading make note, make note of where many of these diseases emerge and how they emerge. Many emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic diseases and tracking down viral origins and reservoirs can be challenging. This readings illustrates both the tremendous strides we have made in our understanding of viruses and how fragile humankind remains in the face of infectious agents. Keep the following questions on hand as you view the video.<br>
1. What are the attributes of a particularly dangerous emerging infectious disease?
2. What features of modern society influence dissemination of viral diseases of this nature?
Outbreaks of viral disease are a continuing threat in the United States as well as abroad. The Centers for Disease control and other international agencies devote considerable resources to surveillance and detection programs as well as advancement of communicable disease prevention and mitigation measures. Preventing outbreaks is the ultimate goal, but establishing protocols that ensure preparedness in the event of an outbreak is also important. For this discussion you have an opportunity to characterize key features of a virus with epidemic or even pandemic potential and chose one disease you feel would be best suited for significant research and pre-emptive efforts.
One of the most lucrative growth areas for both domestic and foreign firms is selling to the U.S. government-especially the Department of Defense (DOD).
Research, analyze, and present a strategic business development plan for selling to DOD. (This is a group project and this question is my part).

The aim of the assignments is to analyse and evaluate aspects of the strategic management process in relation to specific tourism destinations.
Objectives
1. Understand and apply a framework for the analysis of tourism destinations
2. Understand, synthesise and apply appropriate academic theory and best practice to destination management issues
3. Analyse the impacts of tourism on the various stakeholders within a destination and the challenges facing destination managers
4. Critically evaluate the strategic and operational interventions adopted by destination managers to minimise the negative impacts and maximise benefits of tourism on the host destination
5. Critically evaluate the role of marketing in destination development and the elements of a promotional campaign
6. Identify, select and critically evaluate appropriate information for inclusion in a written research report
My stand on abortion is it should be pro-choice. My professor wanted me to shorten the topic to pick one stance on why it should be pro-choice. I picked that it is a much safer procedure to perform then women performing “back-alley” methods that might be fatal for their lives. This paper should report resources and research about different methods of abortion that are safe as well as talk about back alley methods and why that is bad concluding to the point that abortion should be pro-choice
In this assignment, you are to write a critical reflection of one of the readings presented in the first four weeks of class. Within your reflection, provide aspects of the selected reading that you did not know before, or knew before, but now look at them in a new or different way. In your critical review, identify and describe aspects of the reading that you found weak, unclear, and problematic and discuss your reasons why.
As you write your reflection, keep in mind the themes and concepts brought up during the lectures and class discussions. As I read your reflections, I will be looking for evidence that you actually read the article and wrote your own reflection.
Please select ONE option (A, B, or C) to analyze:
“European Companies and Arab Sheikhs”, pp. 58 – 61 and “The Assertion of British Power”, pp. 72 – 74 from the book, The Gulf States.
illustrate the concept using examples from personal experience;
state and back-up your emotional, philosophical, and moral reaction – positive or negative – to the concept;
use another source (e.g., a journal or book) to explore the concept. Sources MUST be scholarly in nature. Wikipedia is not a scholarly source. Use legitimate, trustworthy, scholarly sources. Be careful with internet sources. Many of them are not legitimate sources to be used for a formal class
