In your opinion, do you think it’s enough evidence? Explain. Strength in Numbers TO SURVIVE CLIMATE CHANGE, WE NEED TO BUILD TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD. In the summer of 1995, a blistering heat wave settled over Chicago for three days. It killed 739 people, making it one of the most unexpectedly lethal disasters in modern American history. No statistical models of the heat wave predicted such a high death toll. Researchers in the American Journal of Public Health reported that their analysis “failed to detect relationships between the weather and mortality that would explain what happened.” Just as mysterious as the number of fatalities was the way they were distributed across the city. Several of the most deadly areas were entirely black and disproportionately poor, but so were three of the least deadly. Adjacent areas that looked alike-like Englewood and Auburn Gresham, two hyper-segregated black South Side neighborhoods with high poverty and crime-suffered vastly different effects. Scientists who study urban breakdowns like this usually focus on hard-line infrastructure: electrical grids, transit networks, communications systems, water lines, and the like. And to be sure, Chicago’s aging infrastructure was woefully equipped for extreme heat. The power grid failed, leaving tens of thousands without air conditioning. Roads buckled and drawbridges locked, leading to gridlock and long ambulance response times. But those failures blanketed the entire city; they didn’t explain the patchwork death toll. As a young sociologist who grew up in Chicago, I wanted to figure out why the heat wave killed who it did, where it did. So I set out to examine those pairs of “neighboring neighborhoods” that should have fared similarly but didn’t. Englewood and Auburn Gresham may have looked similar on paper. But when I got to know them at street level, they came to look like different worlds. Englewood had been hemorrhaging for decades: first the employers; next the banks, groceries, and restaurants; finally the people. Residents described the area as “bombed out” and “abandoned.” Empty lots, boarded-up houses, and broken, uneven sidewalks discouraged people from going outside, especially older people. During the heat wave, the residents of Englewood tended to hunker down in the safety of their homes-which became brick ovens. Englewood’s death rate was among the highest in the city. Auburn Gresham, on the other hand, never lost its core institutions or its people. Stores, restaurants, community organizations, and churches animated its streets, and people hung out on the sidewalks. Older people there belonged to block clubs; residents assured me they knew who they had to keep tabs on during the heat wave. Auburn Gresham has long been regarded as one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago; but its death rate, three per 100,000, was among the lowest in the heat wave-far lower, in fact, than many of the wealthy white neighborhoods across town. Throughout the city, the variable that best explained the pattern of mortality during the Chicago heat wave was what people in my discipline call social infrastructure. Places with active commercial corridors, a variety of public spaces, local institutions, decent sidewalks, and community organizations fared well in the disaster. More socially barren places did not. Turns out neighborhood conditions that isolate people from each other on a good day can, on a really bad day, become lethal. This is important, because climate change virtually guarantees that, in the next century, major cities all over the world will endure longer, more frequent, and more intense heat waves-along with frankenstorms, hurricanes, blizzards, and rising seas. And it’s inevitable that cities will take steps to fortify themselves against this future. The first instinct of urban leaders is often to harden their cities through engineering and infrastructure, much of which is indeed pretty vital. But research keeps reinforcing the lessons of Englewood and Auburn Gresham. Just as the temperature of a heat wave, the height of a storm surge, or the thickness of a levee, it’s the strength of a neighborhood that determines who lives and who dies in a disaster. Building against climate change can either support vibrant neighborhood conditions or undermine them. We know how to do both. In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy smashed into New York. With 30-foot waves and 14-foot surges, the storm killed 24 people on Staten Island alone, ripped into the Jersey shore, and swamped lower Manhattan, one of the most densely populated zones in the US and home to thousands of public housing units, massive hospitals, major underground transit hubs, and several of the world’s largest corporations and financial institutions. When a major electrical substation in the East Village took on 4 feet of water, it exploded and snuffed out power for about 250,000 people below midtown. The outage left some of the most impoverished and some of the most affluent people in the city alike stranded on high floors of apartment buildings without water, electricity, or elevator service for nearly a week. Like the Chicago heat wave, Sandy turned up evidence for the importance of social infrastructure. A study conducted by the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center and the Associated Press showed that residents of neighborhoods with low levels of social cohesion-as measured by how much people said they trusted their neighbors-reported longer recovery times. Much of the initial response to the storm, however, focused on hard infrastructure. Prominent climate scientists and engineers called for vast, colossally expensive seawalls around big cities and on coast lines. Even in pure engineering terms, sea gates and seawalls can impart a false sense of security: They can accelerate coastal erosion, and if they fail, they can fail catastrophically. They also erode the quality of neighborhoods; when an oceanfront area turns into a fortress, people lose their connections to the water, and street life dries up. Who wants to live behind an enormous seawall? (Plus, storm surge has to go somewhere. Who wants to live where the wall ends?) Luckily, officials have started to embrace the idea that social infrastructure is as essential to resilience as the hard stuff. In 2013, I started serving-at the behest of the White House-as the research director for an international competition called Rebuild by Design. The competition’s purpose was to allocate around $1 billion for major projects that would make the areas affected by Sandy more resilient against climate change and serve as pilots for the rest of the country. And a major requirement of the competition was that the projects should improve social infrastructure. WHEN THE FLOODS COME, NEIGHBORS ARE THE TRUE FIRST RESPONDERS. The six winning plans were announced in 2014. The highest-profile project, by architect Bjarke Ingels and the BIG Team along with One Architecture, essentially swathes lower Manhattan in a fortress of storm protection disguised as a smorgasbord of public space. The portion of the design proposed for the Lower East Side-which is, for now, the only funded part of the project-lines the waterfront with lushly planted berms that give pedestrians easier access to a slew of amenities on the water’s edge. The berms, which are 18.5 feet at their peak, absorb storm surges when necessary, but their everyday function is just as important: serving as parklands and recreational areas for people who live in an especially gray and unpleasant part of an especially gray city. Another winning design-far more low-key and far less expensive-will subtly transform the coastline of Staten Island. Being directly exposed to the Atlantic, Staten absorbed waves so large during Sandy that they tore through communities blocks from the ocean, where no one expected a deluge. Working from computer models of waves and tidal flow, the landscape design firm Scape proposed a necklace of submerged reefs and oyster beds to rim the island’s Atlantic coast-partially man-made, partially natural structures that will promote sedimentation and absorb a tremendous amount of wave energy. But not all of it. Scape’s plan makes a point of acknowledging the inescapable fact that water is coming: Part of the project even launches a new school curriculum to teach kids on the island how their fate is linked to the fate of the oceans. It also links people in the area to each other, with plans for the construction of several cultural and educational hubs along the shore. Neither project is under construction yet; the plan for lower Manhattan has received $335 million dollars in federal funding, and the Staten Island project has received $60 million. Both could get steered off course. Late-stage budget cuts could reduce the Lower East Side’s verdant berms to an ugly and imposing seawall, exactly the kind of project that Rebuild by Design was supposed to reject. But so far the plans have wide support from local and federal offices, and other cities around the world have taken notice. People are realizing that when the floods come or the heat wave settles, neighbors are the true first responders. Next up, we’ll be able to focus on an even more urgent problem: reducing our greenhouse gas emissions before there’s no way to adapt.Writing Assignment – Using Core Concepts 6-10 Submit: 1 essay outline and 1 argument essay Assignment summary: Create an outline and then write an argument essay  based on the topic you chose in last week’s writing assignment. -Write at least five paragraphs, including an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. -Type your essay, double-spaced (preferably in a Word document). 2-3 pages -Use your own ideas and words in this project.  This is not a research-based essay, so choose arguments that you can discuss based on your own knowledge and experiences.Step 6: Establish a Form and Structure for Your ProjectCreate an outline for your essay first.

You may choose to describe asituation involving a patient’s family. The situation can be a description of your role ininterdisciplinary problem solving. The reflection situation may describe an ethical issue youencountered in practice. Use the guide for reflection as a way to help you tell the story ofthe situation you encountered.The guide provides you with a way of thinking about care that supports the development ofyour clinical judgment. Although there are many ways of organizing your thinking aboutpatient care and professional nursing practice, Tanner’s (2006) Clinical Judgment Modelprovides the framework for the questions in this study guide. Your professional development isfurther supported with feedback from faculty. Feedback about your reflections will beprovided using the Lasater (2007) Clinical Judgment Rubric.You will need to type up your answers to the reflection questions below and submit to yourClinical Instructor via email prior to your post-conference meeting.Introduction Describe the nursing situation you encountered during this clinical rotation.

Again, you can use the hyperlink provided in the reading to prepare your response on how well KFC responded to (or handled) this crisis.KFC and the shortage of chicken What Happened In February 2018, KFC had to close more than half of its 900 stores in the United Kingdom because of a shortage of…chicken. The social and mainstream media enjoyed the irony of a chicken shop without any chicken and went to town on the story. The cause was a delivery problem after the chain switched its contract to DHL which said that due to ‘administrative problems’ a number of deliveries were cancelled or delayed. Loyal customers vented on Twitter and took their families to McDonalds. Some even complained to their local politicians. Then KFC, even while struggling to get the restaurants re-opened, managed to switch the narrative entirely. It ran an apology advertisement that was extremely funny (especially to the brand’s core younger consumers) while taking ownership of the problem. The company was widely applauded by customers and the media for its deft handling of the situation and became the poster child for how well to handle a crisis. What We Learned Among the key elements in a best-in-class  crisis response plan  are: ·       An understanding of the brand’s key stakeholder, particularly the core consumers. Who are they? Where are they? What are there key considerations? What’s likely to be on their minds when the brand is facing challenges. ·       An understanding of the brand’s promise and ‘voice’. How is it positioned? What’s likely to support or break the trust in the brand in how it responds to a crisis. KFC’s clever, authentic and borderline obscene response showed it deeply understood both these factors. It knew its audience (young, hip and irreverent) and it followed through in exactly the kind of tone and language that was consistent with how the brand was positioned in other, more positive marketing. The result was a swift abatement of the criticism for the closed stores – and the sound of widespread applause for a model crisis response.Instructions: Using the two readings from weeks 1 and 2, and the information in the “crisis preparedness plans” reading (located in the hyperlink above), write a double-space two page paper (size 12 font) to evaluate KFC’s response to this crisis. Would you have done anything differently. Explain.You can use other sources as well, and be sure to cite your sources using APA formatting.   Bottom of Form

EDAS 647Legal Entanglement Project: Part 1 – Topic Selection and Ethical Analysis Assignment InstructionsOverview The first step in selecting a topic is for you to evaluate school strategies, policies, programs, and practices regarding their ethical and/or legal implications. The purpose of the analysis is for you to select a meaningful and relevant topic in a particular school. The topic is to be a legal and/or ethical issue that—left unaddressed—could escalate into a legal entanglement.Instructions The purpose of the analysis is for you to select a meaningful and relevant topic in a particular school.  If you are currently a school employee, you will use your school policy for the analysis. If you are not currently working in a school, you will want to reach out to a school where you might have connections (e.g., as a parent, where you have friends who work in a school, etc.). If you do not have connections, you will need to analyze a policy that is available online. The topic is to be a legal, moral, or ethical issue that—left unaddressed—could escalate into a legal entanglement (i.e., litigation). Using the provided Legal Entanglement Project: Part 1 – Topic Selection and Ethical Analysis Template, complete the following: A. Topic Selection and Evaluation: The first step in selecting a topic is for candidates to analyze school policy regarding moral and legal implications. Evaluate the policies in regard to the potential they have to be problematic morally and/or legally. i. Stating the existing policy you have selected exactly as it is currently worded. If you are proposing a new policy because there is no current policy, enter an explanation to that effect. ii. Next, in at least 250 words, provide a narrative that describes the process you used in selecting the topic and in evaluating the ethical and/or legal dimensions of the issue. B. Ethical Analysis: The second step in selecting a topic is critiquing the school policy selected. You will analyze the policy through the lens of the Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE). Click on the Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE) link provided with this assignment and read through the principles that comprise the MCEE. i. With your topic in mind, select three of the most relevant MCEE principles as a framework to analyze your selected topic. Identify each MCEE principle by number (e.g., Principle II.B.3, Principle IV.E.1, Principle V.C.3, etc). ii. Type the exact wording of the three MCEE principles in the areas noted in the template. Example: Principle I.A.6: Avoiding the use of one’s position for personal gain and avoiding the appearance of impropriety. iii. For each MCEE principle, write a brief paragraph analyzing your selected topic using the MCEE principle as an ethical framework. Consider the degree to which the topic complies or does not comply with the MCEE principle. When completed, your assignment template should be 1–2 pages, not including the required title page and reference page. Note: As each part of this project builds from one section to the next, it is important to make corrections as you continue working on the subsequent part. Implement the feedback you receive from your instructor on this assignment as you work to complete the next assignment in the project series.Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.Page 2 of 2
