Journal 2 Instructions The student will compose a brief essay comparing and contrasting scientific communication, including the role science plays in contemporary society (DSL 200.1), distinguishing between science and pseudoscience, and identifying when science is misrepresented in the media (DSL 200.3). The scientific data must be from reputable source(s) and must be accurately interpreted and cited (DSL 200.4). Additional reliable sources may be referred to, as needed or required.The first source listed at the bottom is a news article discussing the primary study listed below it. Students should read both sources thoroughly to achieve a good understanding of what the primary source says, and then be able to evaluate how the information is communicated to the lay public in the news article. Students should look for any inaccuracies, omissions, or misrepresentations in the news article and point them out with specific evidence. Students may also comment on how well the news article communicates the information citing any specific examples as supporting evidence. Students should cover the background problems or observations investigated by the study in the introductory paragraph. Students should state the hypothesis according to the primary source (scientific study) and then explain how well that hypothesis is communicated by the news article. Students should further address how the news article describes experimental methods, key results, conclusions, and how the information should be applied in the larger context of the problems/observations previously stated. At the end, students should summarize how well the news article conveys the key information from the scientific study, referring to points made in the analysis throughout the paper.Wherever possible, students should use the concepts described in the Communications Module on how proper scientific reporting should be conducted. Try to focus on examples of good scientific reporting illustrated while pointing out any areas of poor scientific reporting that deserve appropriate criticism. Bear in mind, a news article will never be as detailed as the original study, but they should relate the important information to their audience with sufficient detail and context without misleading the audience in any way.EvaluationFor full details on evaluation, please refer to the grading rubric below. The journal includes the following processes and requirements:Start with an engaging attention getter, and introduce the topic of the paper by identifying the scientific observations/problems addressed by the media communication and in the scientific communication;Identify the media communication as a media communication/secondary source and the scientific communication as a scientific communication/primary sourceWrite a valid hypothesis statement which is addressed by the research in the scientific article and explain if the hypothesis is presented correctly in the media source;Compare and contrast additional parts to the scientific method including research methods, results, and research conclusions comparing what is stated in the media source and the scientific source;Effectively evaluate any data tables/charts needed to discuss this study properly, accurately describing what is communicated by that data;End the journal definitively, summarizing key points made in the paper;Use paraphrased information, examples, and evidence to support all points. Do not forget to cite paraphrased information with appropriate APA style citations in-text;Properly organize information within and between paragraphs, including proper transitions and a clear flow of content in the paper;Format layout, citations, and references in correct APA style (12 point font);The final submission should be roughly between 3-5 pages double spaced (not including title and reference pages) while covering all parts of the grading rubric listed below.***Very important, please use the author's last name when discussing their work. DO NOT refer to the articles by publication or by number.Breitbart News: Climate Alarmists Finally Admit ‘We Were Wrong About Global Warming’ (Links to an external site.)Emission budgets and pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5 °C (Links to an external site.)Rubric

Risk Management In this assignment, you will apply the risk management techniques you have learned to a real-life scenario. Assignment Scenario Mr. Ashford is a caseworker at the County Human Services Department. One of his clients, Mr. Lainez, is a young man who presents with many issues. He has been in foster care and is about to age out of the program to live on his own. Mr. Ashford will be assisting him with this transition. In an effort to connect with his young client, Mr. Ashford accepts Mr. Lainez’s invitation of friendship on social media. In addition, he provides his agency email address to Mr. Lainez when he asks if there is not another way to make an appointment rather than making a telephone call and going through a receptionist. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Lainez experiences several disappointing events. He loses his job, and the young woman he was dating tells him she is no longer interested in seeing him. Additionally, he is struggling to make ends meet, and becomes unable to pay the rent on his first apartment. At his wits’ end, he makes a vague suicidal threat on Facebook® and sends a desperate request to Mr. Ashford to set up an appointment as soon as possible. Out on calls, Mr. Ashford does not check his email or his Facebook account for several days, missing Mr. Lainez’s cues. His young client is found dead of an overdose of medication he has been prescribed by the department psychiatrist. Assignment Directions Use the readings, internet, and Purdue Global Library to research the implications of this case study under current law and practice expectations. Please be sure to address all of the following in your assignment: Introduce the case study and list each of the problematic decisions Mr. Ashford made in this scenario, analyzing each in terms of its effect on the outcome. Identify and explain other choices he could or should have made. Evaluate the legal and regulatory implications of this case study that you have learned from your research. Apply and evaluate the risk management techniques you have learned over the past two units to this case. Do you believe they would likely have led to a different outcome for Mr. Lainez? For Mr. Ashford? Why or why not?
