Do wealthy nations using the labor of developing nations have responsibilities to the people and environment of that country? Why or why not?

/in /by

In Chapter 7, “The Environment – Part II,” Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss the existing tension between development and the environment. Development brings economic growth as well as social and environmental changes. To a developing country, economic growth may be of a higher priority than the consequences to the long-term health of its citizens or its environment. On the other hand, poverty can also harm the environment, such as when searching for land to farm contributes to deforestation.
Do wealthy nations using the labor of developing nations have responsibilities to the people and environment of that country? Why or why not? Be sure to use examples of existing companies to support your response.

Explain how this job hazard analysis can improve the overall safety and health management program.

/in /by

Textbook:
Brauer, R. L. (2016). Safety and health for engineers (3rd ed.). Wiley.

We will explore the principles of hazard control and materials handling.

The main topics include sources of hazards, hazard control, control priorities, environmental hazards, job hazard analysis (JHA), manual materials handling, and NIOSH lifting equation.

Instructions
You have been asked to conduct an ergonomic job hazard analysis (JHA) in a manufacturing facility that manufactures metal parts for an automotive company. One area of concern is the manual materials handling (MMH) throughout the facility.

Specifically, you have been tasked with conducting a JHA on the palletizing of shipping boxes once they are assembled.

Given the following worksheet (see the link below to download the worksheet), calculate (1) the recommended weight limit (RWL) and

(2) the lifting index using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation. Using the data and results, provide your written recommendations for corrective action against strenuous lifting tasks performed by employees in order to reduce risks and prevent injuries.

You should search the internet for possible solutions, if applicable.
Click here to download the JHA worksheet.

Respond to the details in each section, and format your report in APA style. Include at least each of the components below in your project.

Introduction:

1. Briefly describe why the studies were performed (why you started the study), and explain how this job hazard analysis can improve the overall safety and health management program.

2. In the introduction, compare the different techniques for performing a JHA and why the method chosen was appropriate for this scenario.

3. Report detail: Briefly discuss the details of the scenario (what you found from the study).

4. Conclusions/Recommendations: Briefly describe your recommendations based on your findings (what you recommend to resolve any deficiencies).

5. Appendix: This will have your measurements and calculations (show your work). Include the JHA worksheet in this section.

The report should be at least three pages (double-spaced) in length (not counting the references page and appendices).

Prepare the report in a word-processing application, such as Microsoft Word, using APA Edition (7th) formatting.

Use your own words to write a short compare-and-contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology.

/in /by

Directions: Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length; refer to the “Assignment Format” page for specific format requirements.
In your course, turn to Lesson 8. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled “Approaches to Measuring Technological Progress.”
Use your own words to write a short compare-and-contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.
Be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology
Mei Quoran
Your essay should include five paragraphs, as follows:
• Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology.
• Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs.
o In your essay, use paragraph 2 to describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski.
o In paragraph 3, you’ll write about the perspective of Leslie White.
o In paragraph 4, you’ll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler.
• Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion. Here, you’ll compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. You’ll contrast the three perspectives to describe how they’re different. You’ll end this process–and your essay–by expressing your view as to which of these theorists (one or more) offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology, in your opinion.
It’s permissible to use direct quotes from your reading, but don’t use too many. One to three such quotes should be your limit. Be sure to put a direct quote in quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, “Carbon dioxide is both our friend and our enemy.”
Begin by writing a first draft. Then, edit and rework your material to make it clear and concise. After you have reached a final draft, proofread the essay one last time to locate and correct grammar and spelling errors.

Explain how to prevent the litter in Dumfries

Environmental Communication: Short Exercise

Option 1 (Anti-littering sign) This exercise is worth 15% of your overall course grade Word count: 900-1000 words (please do not exceed this).

Instructions:

Produce a sign along with an explanation of its content (and where necessary a brief account of a wider strategy which it is a part of), to prevent littering by wild campers and other visitors to the Mennock Pass in Dumfries & Galloway. Please note that, even though we usually refer to ‘sign’ (singular) you can produce and recommend more than one sign if you think this will be effective.

Assumptions:

Information about the context of the littering problem is available on Moodle and discussed in class (27.10.20). The following constraints must be adhered to:

  1. Signs might not always be part of an anti-littering strategy, but in this case you have to assume that this is a non-negotiable part of your remit: the local community require a sign (or signs).
  2. Do be aware that when a wooden anti-littering sign was previously placed in the pass it was soon burned as firewood by campers.
  3. Assume that it is a local (Wanlockhead) community group who are requisitioning the sign(s). Any consideration of land ownership beyond this is likely to be an unhelpful distraction.
  4. There is no council collection of waste along the Mennock Pass, and so waste bins would not be emptied. Even if this was the case, the best result is still for people to take their rubbish with them, so this is what the signs need to be encouraging.
  5. Littering (and fly tipping) are against the law, but this is an extremely difficult law to enforce. The point of this exercise is to persuade people not to litter rather than coerce them through the threat of fines.
  6. Assume only a modest budget.

Further guidance:

  1. You can either describe your sign, or you can present a visual mock-up, to be submitted along with your explanation.
  2. Beyond this you need to be providing an explanation of how you see the sign working – why it would be persuasive. At least some elements of this explanation should make reference to environmental communication ideas and specific research (e.g. concerning barriers to attitude and behaviour change, framing, dual process theory, heuristics/biases, the use of images, elements of social marketing campaigns). You may also provide a sense of any wider strategy that the sign is a part of, but this is not compulsory, and must not be instead of an explanation of how the sign(s) will be persuasive.
  3. You can research other anti-littering campaigns, but be aware that this exercise is largely about demonstrating your understanding and application of ideas covered in the course, rather than a thorough knowledge of these specific campaigns.
