About two to three sentences

1. I believe that the Policy- making Board would be more instrumental in influencing the implementation of a smoke-free policy in a community simply because this board focuses on the goal setting and strategic planning of specific programs coordinated with the public health polices. The Policy-making Board pinpoints key factors that help reflect on certain public health polices that include smoke-free policies. Another public health policy that a board of health might advance would be obesity due to it being one of Americas most growing diseases and there is a definite need for advancement in programing for this particular issue.

2. Based on my personal preference, the type of agency that I would prefer to work in would be the Suburban Agency. I chose this agency because it stood out the most to me and I feel like this particular agency accommodates those who usually live in rural and urban areas. Suburban agencies handle either concerns when dealing with external constituencies. Also this agency is successful in providing sufficient funds to health agencies and they serve those in that suburban community (different income levels) which makes this agency more open than the other two agencies. What I mean by open is that it’s convenient for those individuals in that particular increasing population. I also chose this agency because it seemed as though many people could benefit from this suburban agency and I could see myself fitting into this sort of agency.

3. Competency statements include the knowledge of understanding skills and judgment that are usually demonstrated by someone who take on a particular task on a daily basis. Competency statements in a health department would help strive to meet the intent of their mission, vision, and values by simply providing key goals and assets for which a health department could potentially benefit from.

4. When it comes to academic institutions and roles dealing with employees of local health departments and the students in public health programs I think that for one being engaged is a very important role especially when dealing with the public health profession where it’s essential to be fully focused on programs and policies. If no one is engaged in the project then it won’t be successful in the end. I also believe that being responsible is another key role because it’s important for those who are employees of the workplace and for students in public health programs to ensure that every goal is met in order to implement certain public health programs and policies. Being responsible goes a long way in the public health field because there is a lot of information that is being proposed and it’s crucial for every job title supporting the public health programs to be done properly and responsibility is the key to that.

Discuss how this creates/develop the appeal (MOD=logos; Hostile tone=pathos; Citation of authority=logos/ethos; Authorial expertise; ethos/logos)

/in /by

In a 1,500+word response students will analyze the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) and how these develop the claim and appeal to the intended audience of the student’s selected text (text selections are below).

Geraghty, Jim. “What is the Right Level of Fear for Living during a Pandemic?” nationalreview.com, 24 Aug. 2020, National Review, https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/what-is-the-right    level-of-fear-for-living-during-a-pandemic/. Accessed <enter your date>.

Purpose: To demonstrate understanding of how arguments are created through the three appeals and the mechanisms within each that develop the appeal.

Your Primary MOD: Division Analysis—writing that isolates individual writing strategies.

Tone: Objective (no first person or opinions unless in introduction and/or conclusion)

MINIMUM Length: 1,500+ words

Submission Format: MLA; electronic submission to Canvas

Additional Notes: As students of ENGL 1302, your primary goal is to understand how arguments work and, later, to create your own. You’ve taken the first step to achieving this in exploring compositional basics—how writing and a thesis develop and why an author makes the choices he or she does. Now, you will take it to the next level, analyzing how compositional strategies create the appeals and how the appeals, overall, strengthen or weaken the argument.

  • The response is NOT about the article’s topic
  • The response is NOT about your opinion re: the topic.
  • Write from the perspective of the learned student exploring what rhetorical strategies the author employs to create his/her argument and develop a successful thesis/message for the intended audience (The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, or com).
  • Remember: you are not likely the intended audience; the original publication of the piece indicates the intended audience.

Basic Structure of an Analytical Response (Rhetorical Analysis)

The Roman numerals below are suggested “movements” in your response and may or may not indicate paragraphs.

I. Introduction: Introductions greet your reader into your response. Students are encouraged to begin with a colorful “hook”—one to three sentences that instantly engage the reader via the topic of the article analyzed and/or the purpose of analysis.

II. Introduction of Article & Context: When analyzing a text, you need to fully introduce it:

  • Title
  • Author—who is she/he? Consider establishing credibility of author.
  • Audience—who is this piece for? You can establish this by researching the original publication, the types of readers the author aims to reach. This information can be noted on this prompt sheet.
  • The Author’s Thesis/Claim—the word “thesis” is often not a favorite of students. There are several reasons why. A composition’s thesis requires students to fully explore a composition and then determine what it’s about.
  • Your Thesis—Your thesis, as the student, is roughly: author’s thesis/claim + appeals that create the argument.Again, the aspects explored by students will vary. Each student’s thesis will be unique. Regardless, the student’s thesis signals to the reader what the student’s analysis will investigate—i.e. a close look at an author’s rhetorical strategies.

III-V. The Body Paragraphs: In the “body paragraphs,” this is where the student dives into theHOW and WHY an appeal is employed by the author. In each “body paragraph” the student needs to:

  • Identify and define (in your own words) the appeal (ethos, pathos, logos) analyzed
  • Provide evidence directly from text
  • Detail what the evidence represents—an MOD? Hostile tone? Citation of authority? Authorial expertise?
  • Discuss how this creates/develop the appeal (MOD=logos; Hostile tone=pathos; Citation of authority=logos/ethos; Authorial expertise; ethos/logos)
  • Discuss how this appeal creates/backs the author’s persuasive thesis
  • Why is this particular appeal effective/ineffective with the intended audience?
  • Consider how this appeal/strategy relates to the others the student will focus upon.

VI. Conclusion

Conclusions are often taught in essay writing to be a recap of the response. Yet, as you are writing a brief response of 3-5 pages (at most), your reader need not be reminded of what he/she read. Rather, end your analysis on a more poignant and/or personal note. As an ENGL 1302 student, you should constantly be thinking about the persuasive air around you and the direct arguments challenged your way: how do you feel about them?

Other managers must provide information necessary for the risk manager to review and identify loss exposures.

/in /by

Rspnd to this discussion with 250 words APA cite and ask a question.

1- The Risk Unit is responsible for evaluating loss exposures, assessing liability, handling claims, promoting internal controls and developing effective safety and health programs.

  • Other managers must provide information necessary for the risk manager to review and identify loss exposures.
  • Supervisors must be aware of their role in the prevention of loss and be accountable to follow procedures, attend risk control meetings, and, when appropriate, provide any recommended training.

2-  professionals with clinical experience have been the most dominant leaders of safety programs in the health care industry, but clinical knowledge is not the only prerequisite for understanding and addressing safety and health exposures. Organizational leadership as a whole can play a major role in educating and motivating employees to perform their jobs safely and balance efforts to prevent employee injuries while also preventing patient harm.

3-  Workers’ Compensation has fast become a leading cost factor in business insurance programs.Premiums are at an all-time high within many business classes and the indirect costs associated with employee injuries are often two to three times the premium. Many businesses are left feeling helpless in controlling these costs and do not realize the level of control they can have.
