List five significant creations in your city/town, such as buildings in different styles of architecture, bridges, and public art. Include the year each item was created.
Scenario
Your local library has decided to hang artwork in its lobby. You volunteer at the library and heard that the director of the library plans to go to the mall and buy artwork off the shelf in a home decor store to decorate the walls.
You are outraged, and feel that the library presents an ideal space for more meaningful public displays. After all, your town has such a rich and interesting history, and there are some artists and craftspeople living in the area. You decide to approach the City Council Chair to voice your concerns, but he informs you that the library is on a tight budget, and he doesnt see the need to spend too much of tax payers money on decorations.
You now plan to attend the next City Council meeting to convince the town to do more with the exhibiting space at the library, and that it doesnt have to be expensive if the displays are cultivated from regional resources.

Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.
Are there areas in your practice that you believe should be more fully explored? The central aims of nursing informatics are to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. This continuum represents the overarching structure of nursing informatics. In this Assignment, you develop a research question relevant to your practice area and relate how you would work through the progression from data to information, knowledge, and wisdom.
To prepare:
Review the information in Figure 62 in Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge.
Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.
Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question?
Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.
Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need.
Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information?
Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles.
How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?
By Day 7 of Week 4
Write a 4-page paper that addresses the following: MUST BE APA FORMAT
Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.
Identify the databases and search words you would use.

Has the pandemic led to a decline in the number of customers and sales in the restaurant industry in the UK?
Background
The first case of COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan, China, in later 2019, it could not be anticipated how quickly it would spread to the rest of the world and result in a pandemic, leading to devastating effects in the coming years. In March 2020, the World Health Organisation proclaimed the virus a universal pandemic, and the announcement had distressing effects on each sector of the world economy as nations took radical action to contain its spread (Vig and Agarwal, 2021). The confusion and anxiety that followed the declaration affected every facet of life. This study seeks to assess the effects of COVID-19 on the UK hospitality industry, specifically the restaurant segment, which was adversely affected following containment measures to counter the spread of the virus.
1.2. Effect of COVID-19 on the Hospitality Industry
The lockdowns on cities have affected labour mobility, slowed down economic activities, and affected consumption in the UK hospitality industry (Memon et al., 2021). This statement is evidenced by data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which shows that consumer spending was 70% lower than in the pre-pandemic period. The decline in consumer spending was highest in spring 2020, and the figures have not returned to the pre-pandemic level. The ONS further shows that the value of payment to suppliers for food and drink business was 51% of the pre-pandemic period, with the hotel and holiday accommodation experiencing a 72% drop from the pre-pandemic period (ONS, 2021). The hospitality industry was affected most following restrictions on social gathering, movement, and social distance (Panzone, Larcom, and She, 2021).
1.3. Statement of the Problem
The hospitality industry was substantially affected by the pandemic as people could not move freely, had to maintain social distancing, and could not interact face-to-face or dine out. For example, Hooker (2021) shows that 10.2% of restaurants discontinued their operations in the period between March 2020 and April 2021. Although the number of restaurants in operation is currently still high, sales volumes have declined as fewer customers visit restaurants (Panzone, Larcom, and She, 2021; Vig and Agarwal, 2021). Despite such negative outcomes, few empirical studies have focused on the direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic on restaurants. The current study aims to fill this gap by investigating the effects of COVID-19 on the UK hospitality industry, with a particular focus on restaurants.
1.3. Aim
The aim of the research is to assess the effects of COVID-19 on the UK hospitality industry.
1.4. Objectives
• To determine the effects of COVID-19 on the number of customers visiting restaurants.
• To explore the effect of the pandemic on revenues generated by restaurants.
• To establish the effects of the pandemic on employment in the UK restaurants.
• To provide some recommendations for organisations in the hospitality industry to tackle difficulties by potential interruptions/pandemics in the future.
1.5. Research Questions
i. Has the pandemic led to a decline in the number of customers and sales in the restaurant industry in the UK?
ii. How has employment in the restaurant sector changed due to the pandemic?
What are some of the reasons that you think are behind deviance in todays society?
Theories of Deviance: Interview Analysis
Not everyone agrees about why some people break rules while others follow them. Now that you have learned some of the main theories of deviance, you are ready to put your sociological perspective in gear and find out what other peoples views are on this topic.
The Unit 6 Assignment has two parts. Part 1 is to conduct two brief interviews. Part 2 is to apply the theory of deviance that you think best describes each respondents views on why deviance occurs and how it could be prevented.
Part 1: Interview two people to learn what they think are the main causes of deviance (not just crime, but all rule breaking) in the U.S. society today. Also, ask respondents for their ideas about the remedy for deviance.
These two questions might be helpful to structure your interview. Remember, this is a brief interview, not an in-depth investigation into your respondents views.
What are some of the reasons that you think are behind deviance in todays society?HINT: Be prepared to explain the difference between deviance and crime, but be sure to tell the respondent that you are interested in all rule-breaking, not just criminal acts.
What do you think are some effective ways to prevent people from breaking societys rules?HINT: Encourage the respondent to think about juvenile and adult deviance as they answer this question
