When we hear the phrase “fake news” we often think of politicians and the media. However, businesses also perpetuate fake news, often unwittingly. LeanSpa, an internet retail business that sold purported weight loss products under various brand names, hired LeadClick to provide online advertising through its affiliate network. Toward that end, certain LeadClick affiliates used fake news sites to market LeanSpa products. These fake news sites looked like genuine news sites in that they had logos styled to look like news sites, and they included pictures of supposed reporters next to their articles. The articles generally represented that a reporter had performed independent tests that demonstrated the efficacy of the weight loss products. The websites also frequently included a Consumer Comment section, where purported consumers praised the products. There were no consumers commenting, however, since this content was invented. See this module’s assigned textbook reading for a synopsis of the LeadClick case.
Based on this case, the module resources, and your own experience, answer these questions:

Who has or should have primary responsibility for managing fake news and its consequences (i.e., social media companies, advertising companies, business, everyday citizens, government authorities, or others)? Why?
Is it unethical for a company to allow its ads to run on a controversial website—such as one that is promoting untested scientific data or one that includes what is commonly accepted as hate speech—even if doing so generates significant revenue for the company? Explain your position.

This major is very strong on defining the social world as a complicated and complex system. Its complexity requires seeing the world as an interconnection of many things. There is no such thing as a simple social problem.  No social problem is one area of expertise or discipline.In this reflection, you will apply what you know about interdisciplinary studies to an issue that impacts your community.  What communities are you part of?

This major is very strong on defining the social world as a complicated and complex system. Its complexity requires seeing the world as an interconnection of many things. There is no such thing as a simple social problem.  No social problem is one area of expertise or discipline.In this reflection, you will apply what you know about interdisciplinary studies to an issue that impacts your community.  What communities are you part of?  Suggestions for communities are your place of worship, neighborhood, work place, sports team, university, social group, etc. Now, think about a social problem or issue that impacts your community. Is it segregation, tension among neighbors, political differences, fear of gun violence, increase in crime, work place hierarchies, high cost of groceries, discrimination, larger number of firings or resignations, over working culture, underage drinking, low attendance at sporting events, etc? What are the different parts of the problem or issue?  How are these different parts interacting to create a more complex situation? For example, during the pandemic, our university was impacted by COVID-19 closures. Closing FSU was not simple, it required many changes that changed social and public life from sporting events to remote learning to economic costs of running a closed university.For this reflection:1. Describe the social problem or issue impacting your specific community. How is it impacting your community? What are the different parts of the problem or issue? 2. Call on two disciplines (sociology, political science, economics, etc) to discuss the overlapping aspects of the social problem currently impacting your community. 3. How would you approach such a complex problem? Who should be at the table help solve or manage it?

Considering the items you listed above, what are the benefits and challenges?
If you were the decision-maker, what would be your direction?  

Keep in Mind: You will need to perform independent research beyond the course text materials in order to discuss and explain the elements of a comprehensive and well-thought-out position. Consider all facets that are necessary to be proactive and successful in evaluating not only what is happening now, but also the potential future landscape.
Submission Requirements and Resources

In order to facilitate group discussion and take into account the varying student schedules, please post original responses by Day 3 of the Week at 11:59 pm CST.  Discussion boards will close Day 7 of the week at 11:59 pm CST each week.  
Head over to the resources page, Discussion Criteria: Submissions and Engagement. to view specific discussion requirements, examples, and the discussion rubric.

A HINT about Conference Discussion at the Masters Level: Try to get your initial post in early in the conference week and dialogue with your classmates through the conference week.   Think of our online as discussion in a traditional classroom.

Posting your initial post and your responses at the last moments of the discussion week would be similar to entering a traditional classroom and discussion with 10 minutes left in the class – missing the discussion and dialogue raised by your classmates. Remember,  the intent of our conference discussion is to drive the discussion to the next level…  the Masters Level of scholarly discussion.   
Also…  posting early has its benefit, as you do not want to say the same thing that a classmate states. Finally – please  use academic citations to fortify your position

Experiments are studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement. The usual intervention is to manipulate some variable in a setting and observe how it affects the subjects being studied (e.g., people or physical entities). The researcher manipulates the independent or explanatory variable and then observes whether the hypothesized dependent variable is affected by the intervention.  Discuss what essential characteristics distinguish a true experiment from other research designs.

In relation to this week’s course material, how do you think the disproportionate burden of other health issues (e.g., diabetes, asthma, and disability) will impact your contemporary public health issue by gender, race/ethnicity, and class?

Worksheet 5: Gathering Input and Support, Policy Idea
 
How would you engage your agency (employees, and other stakeholders) in developing ideas for a new policy to eliminate the disparities in the contemporary public health issue and among which communities? This part is important because it will provide the foundation to justify what and how you will do what you propose. Identify a new policy to improve the contemporary public health issue (e.g., eliminate COVID-19 incidence, prevalence, or mortality). Use resources currently available at the agency, interviews with stakeholders, a review of literature, and additional resources from reputable organizations.
 

What is the name of the policy or activity you are going to implement?

Who have or will you talk to about this policy/activity? How will you obtain their input? 

Who is going to be impacted by this policy?  (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, social class, community) 

What is the estimate for how much your policy implementation will cost? Provide and justify a budget for the planning and/or implementation.

Context
Nurses have a powerful role in the coordination and continuum of care. All nurses must be cognizant of the care coordination process and how safety, ethics, policy, physiological, and cultural needs affect care and patient outcomes. As a nurse, care coordination is something that should always be considered. Nurses must be aware of factors that impact care coordination and of a continuum of care that utilizes community resources effectively and is part of an ethical framework that represents the professionalism of nurses. Understanding policy elements helps nurses coordinate care effectively.

This discussion will explore two components of appropriate health care for pediatric patients: health policy and cultural competence.
To create your initial post to this discussion forum, complete the following steps.
Step 1: Choose ONE of the following prompts to discuss:

Imagine that you are a nurse lobbyist at the legislature in your state, with a specific focus on child and teen health. The children in this state encompass a broad range of social determinants of health. You are asked to recommend state-wide health policies to improve the health of this population, along with corresponding engagement strategies to reach nurses in the state.

What would be the first pediatric policy that you would recommend? Please provide a rationale for your selection
How can you effectively reach nurses to encourage their action to promote the policy?
What are one or more reasons why many nurses do not engage in lobbying efforts?

Describe a pediatric patient and/or their family members that  you have cared for who is deemed by healthcare professionals to be ?difficult?.

To what extent do you think that cultural factors, e.g. beliefs, values and customs common to a group, might have been implicated in this situation?
What are one or more barriers to culturally competent care that are specific to the nurse relationship with pediatric patients?
List at least one strategy that a nurse can employ to overcome barrier(s) to cultural competence with pediatric patients.
