Nonrenewable Resources Paper
$7.00Nonrenewable Resources
Today, more than any other time in history, there is growing support to move away from nonrenewable resources towards developing renewable resources to meet current and future energy needs. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources that continue to negatively impact the environment. It is important to learn how these resources are formed since this process of formation is at the very heart of why fossil fuels are considered to be nonrenewable.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the nonrenewable resource assigned to you: My last name start with a C so I have to do Coal.
- Coal
Note: You are assigned a resource based on the first initial of your last name. Last names beginning with A–J research coal, names beginning with K–R research natural gas, and names beginning S–Z research oil.
Respond to the following:
- Describe how this nonrenewable resource was initially formed.
- Briefly explain where the major reserves of this nonrenewable resource are located and how it is extracted.
- Examine the environmental impact caused by the extraction process.
- Explain how this nonrenewable resource is used to produce energy, and identify the pollution problems that are caused from this energy source.
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.
Write your initial response. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
- If in fact society were to change to an environmentally friendly fuel source, what do you think would be the political or economic ramifications?

Answer one of the following questions based on the critical readings:
1). On “Objections to the Elizabethan Theatre” from 1597 by the Mayor of London. How would you defend Hamlet against charges that it draws people into “imitaction and not to the avoidinge the like vices which they represent”?
2). After reading “On Producing Hamlet” by Jan Kott, comment: if you were producing the play today, what would you emphasize?

Final Exam Answers
$15.00It is highly recommended that you have a printed version of this handout in front of you with your best answers already selected as you take your timed exam. It will help you immensely and is a great study tool. This exam is very close to the actual exam, and for that reason, an answer key will not be provided. Once you have opened the exam, the timer starts and you will have only 70 minutes to submit your answers.
Although this exam is an open notes exam, it is highly recommended that you use only a small index card to place notes on. This exam is timed and you will not have the luxury of time to look up all your answers after the exam has started. If you run out of time, you will not be able to go back and re-take the exam.
While taking the exam, you should not have other windows open on your computer screen as this can cause the Catalyst system to crash suddenly while your exam is in progress.

Rules of life
$12.50For this assignment, students will create their own set of cultural rules and an underlying rationale for them that is grounded in the four texts from this module (Decalogue, Bhagavad Gita, Qur’an, and Analects).
Please cite these works and include a works cited page.
Students will write at least five new rules, which are not covered in the original texts. For each rule, students will provide at least one bulky paragraph explaining the rationale for this new rule. That paragraph must draw from existing rules and cite and reference those existing rules.

The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks
$20.00Read: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks) in the link below.
Be sure to not only answer the question but center your response around the ethical issues in the book.
In 1976, when Mike Rogers’s Rolling Stone article was printed, many viewed it about a story of race (see pg. 197). How do you think public interpretation might have been different if the piece would have been written at the time of her death in 1951? How is this different from the way her story is being interpreted today? How do you think Henrietta’s experiences with the medical system would have been different if she were a white woman? What about Elsie’s fate?
Your answers must be well thought out and scholarly and address ethical concerns! Avoid emotional writing and stick to historical facts.
Keeping A Food Journal
$7.00Even though the reward center in the brain lights up in response to hyperpalatable food (and drugs), conditioned hypereating can be treated, and people can rehabilitate themselves when it comes to their eating habits. In other words, they can reverse and regain control of their eating habits by applying the treatment theory and the Food Rehab principles, including planned eating and letting go of the past, in their own lives.
Based on the readings in this module and your own entries in the food journal, answer all of the following questions:
- To what extent has keeping a food journal helped you so far?
- To what extent do you think it can, or will, help you?
- To what extent have you been surprised by any of your own thoughts and/or behaviors that are related to your food journal entries?
- To what extent have the five components of habit reversal, setting rules, and changing emotional perceptions of food helped you so far? Have you applied any of them consciously or unconsciously in the past? If so, to what extent were they effective in helping you to reverse habits?
- To what extent will you continue to use a food journal beyond this class? Why or why not?
Write a 500 word paper to address the questions above. You are required to cite your sources in the body of your text properly, include a reference page, and use APA style.
