Description:
Epidemiology like all sciences seeks to find causal relationships in natural phenomena. This acquires urgency in the case of disease because if we are to cure and prevent disease we must know what caused it. In this assignment you will discuss the role an epidemiologist plays in the following scenario.
Directions:
Review the introduction to Centervale and read the additional information below.
Outbreak at Centervales HospitalsHospital-East in Taylor Town and Hospital-West in Simon Town each employ about 500 persons. Last week each hospital provided the workers and residents with a special dinner to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their incorporation. Five hundred meals were catered at each hospital and water was the only beverage provided by both hospitals during the meals. Three days later there is a massive outbreak of diarrhea followed by a number of deaths (35) among the individuals who ate the meal and among five family members of staff who ate food that the staff members brought home from Hospital-East. Hospital-East reports that in addition 115 workers called in sick complaining of stomach problems. No illnesses were reported at Hospital-West
Based on the scenario your textbook readings and additional research analyze the illness occurrence and write a 6-page report of your findings. In your report include the following:
You should utilize at least 3 scholarly sources beyond the course readings in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear concise and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling grammar and punctuation.
Write a 6-page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Need help responding to these two discussion post from my peers 100 words each
As you have learned in the readings extinction is a natural selection process and humans are often responsible for accelerating this process. In your initial post this week address whether or not we as humans should be concerned with the extinction rate and justify your decision. Additionally discuss whether or not humans should strive to preserve representative samples of all biomes on the planet and if so how that might be accomplished.
Latroya Lavigne
I think that we should all be concerned with the extinction rate. Everything around us is changing so rapidly and our actions causing much of the change we should be very concerned. If we continue to consume certain population of animals at the current rate that species could become extinct. Take for instance fish; something that most of us consume without giving a second thought to it not being around in the following years. Consumption is not the only way that humans are having an effect on the extinction rate of fish; some of the primary causes are nonindigenous fish being introduced into the population and the loss of habitat due to excavation (Burkhead 2012). Also I feel that the preservation of current biomes and ecosystems should be something that we all strive to protect. Climate zones establish what organism can adapt and survive in a specific climate we should make it a priority to protect them (Turk & Bensel 2011).
I trust that we people ought to be doing all that we can to protect the majority of the planet’s biomes. We as individuals has make our planet begin a dangerous atmospheric deviation it is her method for say hello stop what you are doing to me I am hurting here. Biomes incorporate both terrestrial (arrive based) and seagoing (in water) groups. Biomes show a gigantic contrast in the number or assorted variety of species present and how these species interface with each other (Bensel Turk 2014). We have harm our earthly and amphibian groups. Eat less meat and fish reuse your glass and paper utilize less water plant a tree. Doing only a couple of things like this can spare our biomes.

Humans should be concerned with the extinction rate in this world for many reasons. Any living creature that dies from unnatural causes should bring attention on all humanity. Humans are so smart and intelligent that at the same time we are slow mentally to process information. All these rain forests animals and many species that some people dont believe are important die every single day. No one says anything about in the average conversation but sooner or later this will have an impact on all of our lives. Honestly its already starting to have an impact on every human. Examplesincludelargemammalsbirdsandlong-livedplantssuchasredwoodtrees.K-selectedspeciesaremoreproneto extinctionthanr-selectedspeciesbecausetheymaturelaterinlifeandhavefeweroffspringwithlongergestationtimes (Turk & Bensel 2014). Heres a clear example of how nature plays a huge role in extinction. There should be more awareness through social media and the Internet about the extinction rate. The world needs to be held more accountable globally when it comes to extinction of any living species. Future generations will have to do research on most species if the awareness of this problem is not taken more serious globally. Most ecologists believe that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction (Pearce 2015).
Humans should strive to preserve representative samples of all biomes on this planet because first of all we are not here alone. Humans are the dominate species here but not the sincerest. Our actions whether intentional or non-intentional may have negative impacts on the environment for which we have to watch and be cautious about (Science: World Biomes 2016). Money is one of the main reasons why the environment is continuously being destroyed. The revenue that corporations conglomerates federal and state governments benefit from expansion is more important to some when it comes to sustaining the environment.

The Final Argumentative Essay

Using the content of the course critically evaluate and analyze a controversial environmental issue of your choosing. You must examine the pros cons compromises and tradeoffs of the issue by gathering credible information from various sources and assess the scientific credibility of the information. You will then develop from this information a well thought out paper that will address the major players involved relevant cited facts and a clearly identified opinion.
The first part of this project will be to submit a topic to your instructor for approval. Research the topic using online library the online library scientific journals government documents books science magazines and personal interviews. Peer reviewed sources should form the basis of your paper. Use a minimum of 6 sources. The final paper should be double-spaced 12 point and 6 to 8 pages in length with citations in APA format. Anytime you use the writings or ideas of others as though they were your own you are plagiarizing (even if you paraphrase). All information and ideas that are not a part of general knowledge must be cited. When in doubt cite!
Your final paper should address the following key points:

Media
Should we mount a massive effort to restore ecosystems that we have degraded even though this will be quite costly? For this weeks environmental controversy we explore this question. Using the textbook and any additional outside resources answer the questions below. Write a 1-2 paragraph response to the questions posed to you. Remember to cite your sources using APA.
Ecological restoration which is discussed in your textbook has a critical role in protecting and understanding the Earth’s environments. Unfortunately even if personnel and financial resources are available many sites are too damaged to be effectively restored. In such cases alternatives to restoration must be pursued including: rehabilitation remediation replacement or the creation of artificial ecosystems. Some individuals worry that large-scale ecological restoration could mislead the public into believing that any amount of environmental damage can be undone. Ultimately a massive and expensive restoration program could be offset by weakened regulations and increased environmental damage in other areas. Furthermore alternatives to ecological restoration may be able to repair more sites at less cost.
Based on what you have read and researched do you believe that the loss of biodiversity is a concern for humans? Should the government not only preserve but restore ecosystems that we have degraded the biodiversity even though this will be quite costly?
