The impact and implications of natural catastrophes on Provincial Parks in British Columbia, Canada

It will then examine the impact and implications of natural catastrophes on Provincial Parks in British Columbia, Canada.

1. Conduct a literature overview. Use subtitles for different disciplines and fields of inquiry from the literature you are drawing from?. Remember to speak about interdisciplinarity.

A. Looking for future research to come up with a straightforward research question and sub-questions,

B. What is the research question? Statement of the problem and contextualization of the research. What is the rationale, and why is this important. Mention interdisciplinarity. Subquestion?

Important to describe the increased demand for outdoor space because of the pandemic and the ability to stay local while connecting to carrying capacity.

2. Explanation of the epistemological approach and theories; Remember this theory is just an ideal picture of something, that we can compare reality against. Keep in mind interdisciplinarity.

3. Description of the methodology and methods; in this case: case studies, (Phenomenology) interviews park users and stakeholders. Describe your sample or samples (approximately 20). Who to interview. The third methodology will be autoethnography.

4. Discuss potential knowledge mobilization and research impact; what do you expect to find and why is it important? How might it contribute academically and practically?

5. The paper must be interdisciplinary from the field of social sciences. I am looking at tourism, business, leadership, environmental sciences,

A. Sub-topics include looking at the carrying capacity on Provincial Parks (critical to connect this to the pandemic)

B. Examine the best practices of other countries with catastrophic events such as western USA (California) and Australia).

C. This paper will provide a timeline of the natural catastrophes in British Columbia in 2021. Such as fire, mudslides, smoke, heatwave, avalanches, flooding, etc. British Columbia lost two towns to fire and several areas were impacted by flooding. Two major highways were washed away. etc.

The paper must focus on British Columbia Canada, however, you can examine the park system at the Federal, Provincial and Municipal levels as part of the literature review. If you need a specific context, provincial parks would be the BEST.

If you can come up with a clever title, along the lines such as the Perfect Storm for Catastrophe in British Columbia

Business Plan for food facility

You are going to design a food processing facility. Choose one or two raw ingredients as a focus.  From the focus ingredient(s), build a set of food products.  The food products chosen must, as a group, employ no fewer than one processing method representing each of the modules in the course.  Each food product should employ at least two processing methods, but both may be from the same module.  Describe the raw materials, processing considerations and consequences from field to table, and general considerations (nutrition, safety, cost and energy considerations, workforce, etc.) for the products and the processing operations.  The more detail that you can include (e.g. specific equipment, five-year plan), the better.

Discuss what is unique about these two breweries and their beer brewing processes. Outline the brewing processing steps of both breweries and the daily operations for both breweries and make sure to include each of these steps in this report as you write this paper.

Brewery Tour Comparison Paper

Each student will tour two breweries with an online tour. The two brewery tours will consist of discussing the two breweries of choice whole brewing process (from beginning to end) and also discuss how each brewery operates using a comparison approach to complete this task. You will need to summarize and compare both brewery operations in a 3- page report. This report needs to be a comparison paper of both breweries whole brewing process and their daily operations.
Make sure to clearly list the name of both breweries and where they are located.
Choose two breweries that give an extensive online tour that way you have more details and topics to discuss and compare in this paper.

Discuss what is unique about these two breweries and their beer brewing processes. Outline the brewing processing steps of both breweries (example: malting, mashing, fermentation, etc.) and the daily operations for both breweries and make sure to include each of these steps in this report as you write this paper. Each paragraph should reflect both breweries processing steps: for example the Malting, mashing, fermentation, and etc. (write a paragraph to discuss and compare how both breweries do their steps and follow this approach for every step in the brewing process for both breweries).

Structure this report to discuss both breweries and the processing steps to how these breweries operate and make their beer. The professor says do not write two separate papers for each brewery and merge the two papers together. This should be a comparison paper every step of the way!!!
The professor expects normal margins (0.75 to 1 inch), a normal,(1) readable(2) typeface, in a normal size (11-12 point), with normal spacing (1.25 to 1.5).  I expect your spelling, usage, and punctuation to reflect the fact that you are a college upper classmen. I expect you to check what is said in the tour against what you learn in class.

What is the problem we are solving?

What was our hypothesis before the experiment started? What previous knowledge do you have, makes this a good hypothesis?

How did we test our hypothesis? What did we actually do? What type of technology did we use to obtain our results?

What were our results? What did we observe from this experiment? (This should include the graph Download graphthat was created as well as a statement about the data from the graph.)

What can we conclude based on our results? REMEMBER: Our conclusions ALWAYS links back to our hypothesis.

What can we do to improve this experiment? How can we make our conclusions better? HINT: Think about what we did and did not do that would make our conclusions more concrete.

Service-Learning Action Project:

The service action project’s main point is for you to understand how the increase in carbon dioxide relates to you, and what you can do to help this huge problem that is detrimental to marine organisms in three ways, 1) increasing sea surface temperatures 2) ocean acidification, and 3) sea level rise.

What is Sarah’s professional responsibility to this client?

/in /by

1) For this discussion, consider the following scenario:

You are seeing Eric, a 27-year-old male, in a private therapy setting. He came to see you six months ago because he was grieving the death of his wife. His grief is affecting his professional life. Eric’s performance evaluation was poor following his loss. You have a very good relationship with him and you are making progress. In the last session you had with Eric, he asked if you would like to join him and a friend at a concert. You accepted this invitation, and now you are worried that you are engaged in an ethical dilemma.

For your initial discussion post, address the following:

Are you involved in an ethical dilemma? If so, what is it?
If you are involved in an ethical dilemma, describe some various ways that this therapeutic dilemma could be handled.
Make sure to support your answer using the AAMFT Code of Ethics.

2)Sarah has been a marriage and family therapist for five years in the same practice that she joined a year after graduate school. Lily is her 45-year-old female client who has come to therapy to discuss her divorce and her fear of dating. Lily attributes her fear of dating to a time when she was date raped in graduate school before she met her ex-husband. Sarah is a rape survivor herself, so she chose not to refer the client out.

Sarah considered the presenting problem of her client and chose to continue as Lily’s therapist. She felt that she was capable of working with Lily and that she would not harm Lily in any way.

For your initial discussion post, address the following:

What is Sarah’s professional responsibility to this client?
Has Sarah violated any part of the AAMFT Code of Ethics?
How should the therapist apply virtue ethics to this case? Cite examples.
What ethical principles are demonstrated in this case?
Are any ethical principles violated, and if so, which ones?

Explain your answer using the AAMFT Code of Ethics.
