Read attached study guides and lesson. Then complete the body of research paper assignment below:

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to continue drafting your academic argumentative research paper.

Description: In this assignment, you will write three to four body paragraphs according to the form that is explained in “Lesson 3: The Body Paragraphs.” The following requirements must be included in the assignment:

• Body Paragraphs: You will construct three to four paragraphs comprised of five to seven sentences each. Each paragraph should be between 150-200 words. At a minimum, this portion of the paper should be around 450-600 words (for three to four paragraphs); a body section of this length will meet the minimum requirements of the assignment. The following components must be included in each body paragraph (in the following order).
o Sentence 1: Point/reason sentence: This topic sentence will contain one of your reasons.
o Sentence 2: Explanation: In this sentence, you provide information that further develops or explains Sentence 1.
o Sentence 3: Illustration: This sentence introduces evidence that supports the reason that is presented in Sentence 1.
o Sentence 4: Explanation of the illustration: Because the evidence does not necessarily stand on its own, you need to provide explanation so that the reader will understand how you interpreted the evidence to come to your reason.
o Sentences 5-6: Second illustration and explanation (optional): You may choose to include a second piece of evidence that is then followed by an explanation.
o Last Sentence: Transition: In this sentence, you will signal to the reader that you will be moving on to another point in the next paragraph. You do this to ease the movement from one point to another.
• Be sure to include the introduction and literature review you have already created and revised. (See attached Unit 3 Research Paper and Unit 4/5 Literature Review)
• Use APA conventions to cite and reference all sources used to support your argument.

Discussion Question

Think about disasters your community has or could potentially face. Now, think about how your community is helping its members prepare.

1. Explore your community and find an advertisement that represents helping community members be prepared for a disaster.
   • Examples could be a billboard, poster at a bus stop, marquee sign, flyer, yard sign and more. Example: Sign advertising ‘free’ flu vaccinations at a local pharmacy.
2. Upload that picture into the discussion.
   • To have it display in your post:
     1. Click the embed image (looks like a picture of a mountain),
     2. Choose upload image from the drop down arrow
     3. Click on the Upload Image (rocket ship) icon
     4. Click on the image you want to display
     5. Choose Open
     6. Click Submit
3. Describe the message the advertisement is conveying.
   • Describe how the message impact preparedness.
4. If you cannot find any advertisement in your community, describe a type of advertisement for disaster preparedness you think would be most beneficial to your community and how it would be best conveyed.
5. Next, identify one community setting that is impacted by the disaster advertisement you shared
   1. Settings:
      • Correctional facilities
      • Home health
      • Schools
      • Forensic areas
      • Hospice
      • Faith communities
      • Occupational health
6. Analyze at least one nursing role (refer to Week 6 lesson) related to disaster preparedness in that setting. Example: In the school setting, what actions and interventions would be involved with the nurse as coordinator of disaster preparedness?
7. Identify at least one key stakeholder related to the setting that a CHN could collaborate with regarding disaster preparedness. Include why this collaboration is important.

Your discussion post should look like:

• Uploaded picture
• Paragraph one: Describe the message the advertisement is conveying and how the message impact preparedness.
• Paragraph two: Identify one community setting that is impacted by the disaster advertisement you shared. Analyze at least one nursing role related to disaster preparedness in that setting.
• Paragraph three: Identify at least one key stakeholder related to the setting that a CHN could collaborate with regarding disaster preparedness. Include why this collaboration is important.
• Resources: Where did you find your data?

General Purpose

Throughout your life—in college, with future careers, and during seemingly mundane daily activities—you will be required to make decisions. Many of your decisions will be unimportant—should we dine at Perkins or Val’s? Which shirt should I wear today? 

Other decisions will require you to complete research and use your best judgment. Your boss may ask you for a recommendation on which product line to carry. You may be the boss or founder of a business or non-profit and need to determine the best operating system for your company to use. Additionally, you may be considering a major decision that will affect you and your future. 

These decisions will require you to understand the differences between viewpoints, products, policies, and devices. 

MA #4 gives you the chance to practice and refine your research and evaluation skills needed to find quality answers to questions.

Throughout your life, you will use comparisons to help make decision:

Schools for you or your children

• Vacation destinations

Vehicle leasing vs. vehicle buying 

• You may compare and contrast the quality, cost, and reliability of various products:
• Vehicles
• Computers

Appliances

• Audience: Imagine a semi-formal but educated audience for this piece; the sort of people who want to learn something and are looking to your paper for insight to consider before making a decision.

These folks are accustomed to researching various websites like Consumer Reports before they make a big decision. Although they have extra money, they want to spend it wisely. 

• Point of View: Third Person – this is the most commonly used point of view in academic writing. 
• Guidelines for Writing the Compare/Contrast Essay:
• Select a topic/subject matter suitable for this assignment and appropriate for comparing and contrasting.

Make this assignment work for YOU. Pick a topic that you can use to help you make a decision. 

Evaluate your subjects/items using at least four criteria (elements) to determine how your subjects are alike and how they are different.

Develop a recommendation based on your research.

Describe and support a new ethics system, based on one personal rule to live by and three rules from three of the following texts: Buddha, Matthew 5-7, Plato, Utopia, and the Bhagavad.

Requirements:

• 5. Northeast Colorado Energy Systems (NCES) manufactures generators for commercial and residential use but needs to ensure inventory is appropriately planned for future needs. You and your classmates are employees of NCES and have been tasked with making sure that the inventory levels are appropriate. You have been asked to determine the following:  1.     Appropriate levels of cycle inventory in the supply chain.  2.     Application of quantity discounts impact on lot size.  3.     Appropriate levels of safety inventory in the supply chain.  Develop consensus with your classmates on the process for determining inventory levels, and the importance of inventory appropriate for this purpose in light of the three items above. 
• 6. Review managerial levers to improve supply chain profitability in your textbook and explain what is involved with controlling the supply chain to drive profitability. Include a connection as an example of managerial control to improve the supply chain to a current event (within the past 12 months). Use your local newspaper, or other local information that presents an example of a project being audited and a project being terminated.
