write at least 3 paragraphs for EACH discussions (It is 2 DISCUSSIONS)

Discussion 1 (3 paragraphs)
Over Medicated and Overwhelmed
Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they were first observed by Pasteur and Koch and later named by Selman Waksman in 1942. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistant microbial strains are becoming more prevalent and therefore making once easily treated infections more difficult to treat. For this week\’s discussion post, share your thoughts on three ways that society – not physicians or medical staff – can help to reduce the development of drug resistant microbial strains. Interact with the thoughts of others.

Discussion 2 (5 paragraphs)
Community/Global Nutrition
Use your chapter readings and course materials, and any other pertinent evidence-based source.
Discuss the following:
1. What types of resources are available to communities in terms of learning about nutrition and healthy eating?
2. What types of resources are available to global populations in terms of learning about nutrition and healthy eating?
3. What are three challenges communities and global populations have in accessing these resources and how can these be overcome?
4. What specific nutritional knowledge and skills that you learned about in this course had the most impact on you personally?
5. Were there any areas that you wished you could have learned more? If so, what were they?

Using concepts presented in class and readings from this term, you are to answer in essay format the following question:

As many scholars and cultural critics have argued, the concept and presence of a \”Canadian culture\” is debatable. With current trends in government and the market questioning the role of Canadian content in cultural subsidies, the question of \”Do we have a Canadian culture?\” persists. Using extraneous scholarly sources, i.e., not the course textbook, argue whether Canada has a culture of its own, whether independent of or contingent on American, British, et al. cultures. In no more than sixteen hundred (1600) words, argue your position but be sure to identify, define, explain, and apply all concepts, theories, and constructs introduced in your paper; do not introduce anything that is not clearly explicated. You are required to research your argument and use extraneous sources; you must cite and source at least five (5) scholarly texts (not including the textbook) but no more than ten (10) to support your arguments.

Keep in mind that the marker will be looking for quality over quantity.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of a disaster on human behavior using theory and a system analysis of the factors influencing behavioral responses to disasters. At a minimum, the paper must integrate the following: at least 2 theories from the text; disaster disruption and adjustment; types of human behavior; influences on human behavior; and a comparison of reactions in the United States with those in another country or countries.

The paper must be written in current APA format, 1,050 words, and include evidence from at least 5 scholarly sources to support the evaluation and analysis.

This is the book we are using for this class

Mapping Consumer Digital
Mapping a consumer purchase journey is an effective method for marketers to improve customer experiences. Mapping helps marketers diagnose relevant issues that are critical to target customers, and formulate innovative ways of delivering them a ‘wow’ experience. For this purpose, marketers need to understand the steps (i.e. need recognition, awareness, research, evaluate, purchase, pay and post purchase service) that consumers go through before purchasing a product online or offline.
For this individual assessment, you are asked to map your digital journey while purchasing a product or service online. You need to select a brand, or a firm that has a significant online presence in order to develop your map. If you are likely to interact with both online and offline contexts throughout the purchasing process, please consider both while mapping the journey. You are required to prepare a report covering the following key issues –
a. General introduction about the product or service, its nature, and targeted customers of the firm.

b. Create a map (e.g. a diagram or flowchart) that shows your journey from need recognition to post
purchase service that you have received from the selected brand or company. Specify each TOUCH POINT of your journey in the diagram.

c. Critically discuss how the brand or firm uses a different e-marketing channels or tools in each step of
your journey. Your critical discussion should include both positive experiences and negative experiences that you had with the brand’s / firm’s online presence. Your discussion should also include the interaction of online and offline context if you have used both the platforms (online and offline) while purchasing the product or service (i.e. specify the TOUCH POINTS when you have gone offline and discuss why you have done so).

d. Recommend if there are other useful e-marketing tools that the brand or firm could use to make your online purchase journey more rewarding. Discuss with examples how these tools could facilitate your journey further. Your recommendation could be based on other competitor firms\’ practices within the industry.

The length of the assessment should not be more than 8 pages (12 font; 1 inch margin in all side)

This is my second order, as previous writer was found to have plagiarized and was penalized for putting me in that predicament. I strongly suggest that the essay be written with only the literature I will list below, and no further examples from blogs, example essays or anything found on the internet.

Essay requirement:

Answering the question: the extent to which the work has dealt directly and clearly with the assigned task and provided a focused answer to the particular intellectual problem posed.

Structure: the extent to which the work demonstrates coherent organization of the material and an overall argument that proceeds logically from introduction to conclusion.

Conceptual clarity: the extent to which the work has understood key terms and concepts, defined ambiguous terms, and employed them correctly.

Analytic Content: the extent to which the work provides a critical analysis of the problem that evaluates competing arguments and interpretations rather than a purely descriptive or narrative discussion.

Literature: the extent to which the work demonstrates familiarity with, and command of, the relevant scholarly writings on the subject to which the work is addressed.

Evidence and Examples: the extent to which the work deploys apposite examples and pieces of evidence to support its claims, thereby turning unsupported assertions into critical arguments.

If you feel you require more literature, in addition with the ones I have mentioned above, only use univeristy level literature, books or journals which you are able to cite. I stress, nothing from the internet, nothing plagarised otherwise I shall submit another complaint and provide the necessary proof as I found in my previous paper.

Working as a company consultant for the business that I work for has made me see various workplace issues that occur as a result of the relationship that exists between the managers and other junior employees. In this case, the company’s senior manager believes in letting staffing or workplace issues for the employees themselves, without offering any assistance where they are defeated. Ideally, the managers believe that the employees have the capacity and ability to perform jobs and should never complain because they are lucky for having secured those vacancies. Also, the managers urge them not to complain or rather exchange any words with him. A closer look at these issues reveals that the workers working within this organization have their employment and workplace right infringed. To sum up, the manager seems to lack appropriate leadership skills, knowledge and ability to provide the required administrative roles to the organization.

Group Assignment Scenario

Citizen’s Gas Company (CGC) provides natural gas service to 200,000 customers. The customer base is divided into the following three revenue classes:

Class Customers Sales in Cubic Feet Revenues
Residential 160,000 80 billion $160 million
Commercial 38,000 15 billion $ 25 million
Industrial 2,000 50 billion $ 65 million
Totals 145 billion $250 million

Residential customer gas usage is highly correlated with the weather. Commercial customer usage is partially weather dependent. Industrial customer usage is governed almost entirely by business factors.

The company buys natural gas from 10 pipeline companies in the amounts specified in contracts that run for 5 to 15 years. For some contracts, the supply is in equal monthly increments; for other contracts, the supply varies according to the heating season. Supply over the contract amounts is not available, and some contracts contain take-or-pay clauses. That is, the company must pay for the gas volume specified in the contract, regardless of the amount used.

To match customer demand with supply, gas is pumped into a storage field when supply exceeds customer demand. Gas is withdrawn when demand exceeds supply. There are no restrictions on the gas storage field except that the field must be full at the beginning of each gas year (September 1). Consequently, when the contractual supply for the remainder of the gas year is less than that required to satisfy projected demand and fill the storage field, CGC curtails service to industrial customers (except for heating quantities). The curtailments must be carefully controlled to prevent either an oversupply at year-end or a curtailing of commercial or residential customers so the storage field can be filled at year-end.

In recent years, CGC’s planning efforts have not been able to control the supply during the gas year or provide the information needed to establish long-term contracts. Customer demand has been projected only as a function of the total number of customers. Commercial and industrial customers’ demand for gas has been curtailed. This has resulted in lost sales and caused an excess of supply at the end of the gas year.

To correct the problems, CGC has hired a director of corporate planning. She is presented with a conceptual design for an information system that will help analyze gas supply and demand. The system will provide a monthly gas plan for the next five years, with particular emphasis on the first year. The plan will provide detailed reports that assist in the decision- making process. The system will use actual data during the year to project demand for the year. The president has indicated that she will base her decisions on the effect alternative plans have on operating income.

Assignment Requirements

1. Discuss the criteria to consider in specifying the structure and features of CGC’s new system.

2. Identify the data that should be incorporated into CGC’s new system to provide adequate planning capability. Explain why each data item it is important and the level of detail needed for the data to be useful.
