·         Identify a way in which an individual develops a credible persona, both in person and online.

Part 2. Reply to the following post in a minimum of 100 words:

“A person develops a credible persona, both in person and online by being honest, having integrity, being competent, transparent, having good judgement and being liked by others. It takes all these qualities to truly be credible. If one lacks just one, you have now made yourself no longer credible to a teammate, your leadership or even the general public. Being a credible person is challenging, it takes time and effort. It is okay to make mistakes, but to keep your credibility, you must own it and take responsibility and let people know what you are going to do to fix it.

An example of how I personally have built a credible persona at work is always following through on my commitments. If I am not able to make my commitment by the agreed to date, I will work with person to that I have agreed to and come up with a new plan. I will not just ‘blow’ them off. I have also found that building trusting relationships with teammates and leadership has not only allowed myself to grow, but I have also built a nice network of people. In this network there is always someone that is able to help out, answer a question, or just offer some advice or a solution to a situation or problem. This form of credibility is good for everyone.” – Jennifer F.

Part 3. Respond to the follow discussion in a minimum of 100 words:

“In today’s society, it is easy to develop an online persona that can determine our success, professionally and personally. Our current forms of in-person communication has regressed in my opinion, but is still just as important when trying to build a reputation. Our moral and personal appearance can reflect our professional work ethic, and employers may look into using such factors to determine whether you are a good “fit” for their firm or etc.

For example, your personal opinions on your social media account my not affect your career, but how you speak to your friends and family depicts your personality and emotional intelligence. Responses to your loved ones, such as “I’m a good listener” or “let me know if there is anything I can do for you”, shows that you are considerate, loyal, and dependable.

Responses to your professional peers, such as “I want to share my experiences and ideas” or “I want to learn about you”, indicate that you have a caring and open minded personality.

Speaking to someone in person and having the same responses as your online page can make a bigger impact on your persona. Your facial expressions and hand gestures can give the other person a sense of comfort and transparency. The ability to fluently speak with others can take a persons career further than just their education, I have personally seen it.” – Charles P.

Answer two of the questions below in essay form (i.e. two separate essays) by drawing on information from lectures, your textbook, class discussions, as well as documents we have read for class. Good answers will start with a clear argument and then support each point with specific examples drawn from class materials. Please see the “Tips” sheet I posted on D2L for additional advice.

1.    The mid-nineteenth century was a period of profound change within the United States. Examine how at least three different reform movements sought to reshape American society during this period. What were its aims? What obstacles did they encounter? How successful were they?

2.    During the 19th century the United States rapidly expanded from the Mississippi River westward to the Pacific Coast. During this period, numerous conflicts began to break out over how these new western territories would be incorporated into the United States. In a well thought out essay, trace the major disputes and tensions over western expansion that contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War.

3.    Historians have argued that the Civil War was more revolutionary than the Revolutionary War. By analyzing the changes wrought by the Civil War and Reconstruction, would you agree with this statement (i.e. I don’t expect you to discuss the Revolution—focus instead of what actually changes during and after the Civil War)? In what ways was the Civil War “revolutionary” and in what ways did things stay the same?

There are generally three methods used for evaluating jobs: Ranking. Classification. Point method. Prepare a short description of each method, including your responses to the following: What are the main features of each evaluation method? (In other words, what is a general description of each method?) Examine each method by looking at its potential downside. What are the essential weaknesses in each of these evaluation methods? Describe a situation in which each method would not be effective for a business. For example, when would ranking be either impractical or unfair? When would the point method be too complicated to be effective in evaluating work for creating a salary structure? Be sure to use proper APA (6th edition) style and formatting.

Take a Total Health Assessment

Answer the following questions:

  1. Name of your county and state- Tarrant county, Texas
  2. Population of your county with racial and gender breakdowns
  3. Number of senior citizens
  4. Number of disabled individuals
  5. Number of children

Choose one of the populations above (senior citizens, disabled, or children) and list and describe at least two possible health concerns for that population (one should be the health concern discussed in Unit 2).

Unit 2 health concern

(There are various health concerns which have often affected the nation until legislations have been passed to address the concern. In this case, the health concern under consideration is that one of smoking in public places. Most of the states prohibit smoking in public places. On 8TH November 2005, a law which prohibits smoking in all bars and restaurants was passed in Washington. It happened after the 1985 clean indoor Air Act was amended. The definition of a public place included restaurants, bars, skating rinks, bowling centers and non-tribal casinos. It also included the private residences which are used to provide foster care, childcare, adult care or similar social services. Nearly three-quarter of sleeping quarters within a hostel is also considered as public places. The law on smoking in public places also prohibits smoking twenty-five feet of exits, open windows, entrances and ventilation intakes which serve enclosed areas in which smoking is also prohibited (Registry., 2016). )

Research your local newspaper or other source to give information on community health interventions or public policy that exist with the population you chose.

Access the link https://www.christianhospital.org/Health-Library/List-Contents/contentTypeId/42 to take a health risk assessment. There are several to choose from. Choose one and report findings and recommendations for improving your health. Please summarize questions asked and also summarize results thoroughly and in your own words. Do not cut and paste answers directly from the findings given on the website. How can you utilize these results to improve your own personal health?

Format your paper consistent with APA 6th guidelines. Be sure to list all academic sources of information at the end of this assignment. You should have at least 3-5 pages, including the health risk assessment and the Census information.
