Abstract
This paper examines the mixed health inheritance that is ours from the process of industrialization that occurred from roughly the beginning to the middle of the 19th century. It briefly discusses the events of the revolution and its social impact and explains how these in turn lead to health problems - factory work, longer work hours, pollution, stress etc. Graphs and graphics are provided.
From the Paper
"We are generally taught in high school that the Industrial Revolution was a good thing for humanity, that it has increased both our welfare and our happiness. And in many ways this is arguably true. In general we live longer now than our ancestors did before the Industrial Revolution, our children are much less likely to die in infancy, women are much less likely to die giving birth to those children. We can now fight cancer, provide anesthetics, fight infections with antibiotics, replace failing hearts with those taken from other people or with robotics. We have the luxuries of refrigeration, quality-controlled pharmacies, municipal codes that prohibit the burning of noxious substances and ensure that homes and other buildings meet minimal safety standards, our children have the luxury of attending school into adulthood so that they learn good habits and understand the basics of human health."

Canadian Film Industry, 2006.
A review of the independent Canadian film industry.
5,625 words (approx. 22.5 pages), 10 sources, AU$ 325.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the Canadian film industry, one that is said to be a composite of three different unique bodies that have combined to create a dynamic film environment; albeit not a uniquely Canadian one. The paper goes on to discuss how while the indigenous Canadian film industry is still extant it might be described as moribund at best. If not for governmental support for the indigenous film industry, independent Canadian film making might already be extinct. The Canadian film industry is relatively healthy overall but the figures indicate strictly indigenous Canadian films, outside of one or two major production houses, may suffer revenue and market difficulties in the years ahead.

From the Paper
"Certainly this will cause restructuring in terms of Human Resources in job function and description relating to the role of those responsible for assuring such disinfection of airline carriers. This has however, been addressed by certain airlines under review in this study in that flexibility in job role has been adapted by several airlines. This need for job role flexibility is further noted in the work of Guillet, et al (1999) in the work entitled: "Origin and Prevention of Airport Malaria in France" published in the Tropical Medical International Health Journal (1999)."

Abstract
This paper describes the initiative known as Healthy People 2010 undertaken by the US Department of Health and Human Services to promote healthy lifestyles. The paper emphasizes the goals of this program and why it was originally developed. The author states that Healthy People 2010 sets out the goals of the program, while its actual implementation is done through another program known as HealthierUS. The paper further explains that the program's' success depends on the support of local communities. The example of Madison, Wisconsin is used to show how this can be accomplished. The author concludes that this series of programs must be continually reinforced to guarantee their success.
From the Paper
" Healthy People 2010 is a multi-faceted program developed to create self-awareness, responsibility, and overall healthy lifestyle choices for all Americans (Healthy People 2010 Homepage). There are two main goals set forth by the program, each containing several sub areas. Firstly, the United States Department of Health and Human Services wishes to extend both life expectancy and increase overall quality of life for all Americans. Secondly, the program aims to eliminate differences in health between the rich and the poor and the able and the disabled. The program aims to reach citizens of all economic levels, treating each person equally within the health care system."

Maintaining A Healthy Relationship, 2007.
This paper looks at what a healthy relationship involves.
2,734 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 10 sources, MLA, AU$ 119.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the components detrimental to the growth and maintenance of a healthy relationship. The paper explores intimate relationships and friendships. The paper shows that, to have a healthy relationship, two individuals have to "plant" seeds of love and commit to regularly "weed" out negatives, while at the same time nurture the positive points of their relationship. The paper includes true/false questions and plenty of resource material.
From the Paper
"Even though these true/false questions appear to be relatively shallow, news headlines portraying an epidemic crop of unhealthy relationships, alongside the myriad of contemporary divorce rates, reflect that in regard to maintaining healthy relationships, many individuals repeatedly fail the "true/false" test. Perhaps, part of the reason so many fail at maintaining healthy relationships stems from the fact, as Levine, Aune, & Park note: "Love means different things to different people . . ." This research paper purports, albeit, contrary to the concept contributing to this contention: To maintain, a healthy relationship, it must be rooted in a common definition of love. In a healthy relationship, "Keeping love alive requires work. . . . to maintain a healthy relationship requires effort, time and energy,." Mosier (2003) argue. Most individuals do not know, however, what having a healthy relationship involves."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This is a short paper which identifies a specific objective from the Healthy People 2010 initiative by the US Department of Health and Human Services and states a policy which would help achieve the objective if properly implemented. The objective chosen was 19.3, the reduction of obesity in children, corresponding to the leading health indicator of Overweight and Nutrition. The policy formatted is to limit federal funding for school lunch programs to only those schools that allow healthy foods as part of the lunch program, banning sugar and fat rich vending products.
From the Paper
"Healthy People 2010 is a program that continues the work initiated in the 1990s undertaken by the United Stated Department of Health and Human Services referred to as Health People 2000. There are 10 leading health indicators ranging from access to health care to immunizations and physical activity. One of the major leading health indicators is Overweight and Nutrition. Within this category, objectives relating to childhood diet and nutrition have been identified. One such objective, 19.3 is to "reduce the proportion of children and adolescents who are overweight or obese" ("Objective 19.3," 2000). This paper discusses the objective, suggests target goals and provides for a formal policy, that if implemented would help achieve the objective. Information on why the objective is important is included."

Healthy Childhood Eating Habits, 2004.

1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that something is going wrong in the way our children are being taught to eat, and something is not right with the foods that are being offered to them. The author points out that children learn a surprising amount from watching the world around them and following the examples set by their parents, siblings, and other people in their lives; therefore, the entire family should agree about helping the child learn how to be healthy. The paper states that children cannot be expected to eat the same size portions as adults because their bodies are smaller; children must be allowed to decide when they are full.
From the Paper
"Additionally, in order for children to truly be able to develop healthy food-related habits, they must be allowed to help make decisions about what they eat. Many children are not allowed to decide what kinds of food they eat, when they eat, and how much they eat. It is common for parents to scold their children and tell them to ?clean their plate? when the child feels they are done eating. ?Years ago, food was very hard to come by especially during The Great Depression and after World War II. When people have to deal with this sort of situation for years, they develop a certain mindset. Now we don't have that problem."

Stevens. Critique details are broken down into the following sections: introduction, methodology and results.
Outline:
Problem statement
Literature review and theoretical framework
Hypothesis/Variables
Methodology
Design
Threats to internal and external validity
Subjects
Data collection methods/instrumentation
Results
Findings
Interpretation/Conclusions
From the Paper
"Threats to internal validity normally are perceived as selection, history, maturation, testing, and instrumentation. Selection threats suggest that those who participated in the control or intervention group have characteristics that differ from those who were not included in the study. There is a possible selection bias given that student were from a school in an undisclosed area of the country, it is unknown whether these were rural or urban youth, from a public or private school or what other variables might affect their level of nutritional, health or independence awareness. History, or the events that happen to students during the course of the study which might affect results, could not be accounted for as all intervention took place in the school setting. Researchers acknowledged they were unable to control for social or family interventions that might run counter to their study goals. Instrumentation, maturation, dropout, and order effects were controlled by researchers directly or through statistical analysis for variance."

Healthy Organizational Culture, 2008.
An in-depth discussion on the responsibilities of leaders in creating and maintaining a healthy organizational culture in a general construction company.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of organizational culture. Specifically, it examines the role and responsibilities of leaders in creating and maintaining a healthy organizational culture in a general construction company. The paper states that management and leadership are often far different aspects of an organization, and true leadership is often lacking in many general construction companies due to constraints within the organization, size, structure, and the nature of contracting.
From the Paper
"In a general construction organization, most projects must be completed on time, and so, time is one of the key issues managers must address. A true leader has the ability to establish completion timeframes that meet the needs of the organization and the sub-contractors, and then establishes a workplace environment that assures these goals will be met. There are certainly obstructions to this timeframe, from weather to subs who do not show up or complete their work on time, inspectors who do not inspect items in a timely fashion, and suppliers who do not deliver necessary supplies on time. A true leader anticipates these obstructions, builds some time into the timeline for them, and learns how to work around them while still motivating his crew to complete the project on time. Indeed, in effect the project manager is creating a "vision" of the completed project, and sharing that vision with all those working on the project. Thus, in some organizations, project managers can indeed be leaders, while in others, those in top management may function as leaders while project managers take on more management roles. In addition, new construction techniques and challenges, such as building at night, in foreign countries, and with a more diversified workforce, are also challenges the modern construction leader must face, both in the office and in the field."

In-house, Inter-departmental Communication
The Cross-Departmental Teams
Superior Customer Service
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The net result of my teams is that people in the company are able to work together in a proactive manner to optimize customer satisfaction. For example, the Fulfillment Team meets monthly and continuously refines not only computer systems, but also the physical systems and processes in the building. Their goal is clear and simple: to improve the level of customer service. They succeed in this to a large degree because the various departments are not isolated from each other; all staff are aware of the big picture, and of what they can do to facilitate our continuing success. I have found that the more the different departments communicate, the more everyone realizes that they can create more opportunities for our business, and increase our opportunities to sell. Thus, we all work together to take a pro-active approach to the customer."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In order to begin this investigation, it is first necessary to delineate the specific focus area, its parameters and how it fits into the overall US Prevention Agenda. For the purposes of this investigation, chronic kidney disease has been selected. According to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) (2000) Healthy People 2010 report, chronic kidney disease represents one of the most challenging obstacles for modern health care. At a time when other chronic diseases such as heart disease are declining in total number, the occurrence of chronic kidney disease is increasing (DHHS, 2000). A review of statistical data indicates that the individuals of all ages are susceptible to this condition; however individuals over the age of 75 are the most frequently diagnosed group with this condition. Although dialysis and kidney transplantation provide notable alternatives for improving patient outcomes, the treatments are not a panacea. Both do not restore complete health and both are expensive to undertake. DDHS argues that the growing number of patients with chronic kidney appears to coincide with an increase in the number of patients with type II diabetes."
