HEALTH 10 ONLINE FINAL

 

The following three  essays will make up your final exam.  Each essay will be worth 25 points for a total of 75 points.  You can respond to the essay questions as a reply to this email or you can “copy” and “paste” your essay to the email.  I would think that each essay  would not need to be more than one page in length but they could be more than one page if needed.  Please keep your essays concise and well organized. 

 

Essays:  You must answer the following three essay questions.  Be as detailed in your response as possible and provide specific examples to support your statements.  In answering the questions it is a good idea to provide some reference to materials covered in the text (even though they might not coincide with your ideas or beliefs) so that I know that you have read and understand the concept covered in the appropriate chapters.

 

Essay #1  Although no one can be completely safe from personal injury or possible random violence, there are ways to minimize the risks to your safety.  Based on information provided in chapter 16 and your own personal assessment, what do you feel you can do to enhance your personal safety?

 

Essay #2  Infectious diseases and exposure to harmful environmental produscts are serious affronts to our own personal health. Discuss several ways that one might be able to reduce the risk of environmental exposures and infectious diseases. Be sure to include information on both the mechanical and cellular defenses within our bodies.

 

Essay #3  Since the start of this class we have studied a variety of issues that affect our own health.  Using all six dimensions of health found on page 9 and 10 in the text I want you to rate your current health status based on a scale from +10 to -10 .  Once you have picked a number (for example +4 or -1 or what ever number you decide on)  I want you to explain why you feel you belong at that number. It is important to make sure that you identify and define all six dimensions of health that were covered in the text.

  

5 Point Bonus Essay:  Now that you have completed Health in Action online,  you have been asked to become the new online Health in Action instructor.  What changes would you make to the current requirements, what things would you keep the same and what might you add to the course?
