Controlling Skin Cancer

Could you please finish this off.

The skin cancer problem in Australia can be dated back to over 200 years ago when the first group of fair skinned European immigrants settled on the Sydney Harbour shores in 1788. Of all the people in the world, and all other forms of cancer, Australians are more than five times more likely to develop some form of cancer of the skin. According to statistics two out of every three Australians will have developed a form of skin cancer by the age of seventy years, it has also been noted that the risk is less prevalent in women (3 in5) than in men (2 in 3). It then goes without saying that according to those numbers, Australia has one of the world’s highest rates of skin cancer. This is largely attributed to the climate around the continent, and the fact that most Australians are fair skinned, which is not suited for such harsh conditions, the high UV levels related with being close to the equator and not forgetting  Australians love for the outdoors.
            
Recent studies continue to show that around 80 percent of  most newly  diagnosed cancers in Australia are either Melanoma, basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma which are the three types of cancer of the skin. Over the last two decades there has been a steady rise in skin cancer incidence in Australia. From 1982 diagnosis for melanoma had increased to 50% in Australia. With such statistics the Australian government found itself spending about $378 million in research in the year 2000 to curb this public health menace. With such immense resources directed towards management of occurrences of skin cancer it would be assumed that there would be a considerable drop in the number of incidences. It is however unfortunate that such optimistic numbers are yet to be realized; only achieving to keep the number of incidences stable with no increases neither decreases since the year 2000 to 2004.Click Here To Get More On This Paper!!!!

Part B – Controlling Skin Cancer (10 marks)

Introduction

Skin cancer occurs when skin cells are damaged, for example by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Every year, in Australia skin cancers account for around 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers. Between 95 and 99% of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. The incidence of skin cancer in Australia is one of the highest in the world, two to three times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK.

Task

Your task is to research skin cancer statistics in Australia since the year 2000 and answer the following questions:

• Have the incidences of skin cancer (melanoma, basal cell & squamous cell carcinoma) diagnoses in Australia increased or decreased since this time?

• What reasons would you suggest? Comment on your findings.

• Has our increased awareness of the causes of skin cancer had an impact on the occurrence of skin cancer in Australia (eg: through the media or doctors)?

Your response to these questions must be supported by recent statistics from the Cancer Council website or from an Australian Government Health Agency website.

Your response to these questions must be no longer than one A4 page in total (typed).

You must also include a bibliography (which includes at least two references) at the end of this Part. On a separate page.

NB. Information on how to correctly write a bibliography can be found on pages 123 and 124 of your student diary.

Two examples are provided for you as a guide as to the expected format.

Company you have worked for or currently work for

ppendix A:
Final Project
Introduction and motivation
(Why are we doing this?)

Most of you either currently work for a company and/or have worked for a company in which you have noticed problems, challenges, and issues arise in how the business is run. For this final exam you'll be asking yourself: Why would a manager even care about the information that was presented in the course? How are you really helping them? What would they value about what you learned?
You'll be doing some work to answer these questions in relation to a company you currently work for (or have worked for), and then preparing 15 points to demonstrate that you have gained:
1) an appreciation for managements’ problems/challenges/issues and the contexts in which they arise;
2) a clear understanding of how the information in this course solves some of those problems/challenges/issues;
3) evidence that management values (or would value) the information presented; and
4) a plan for how you can improve the firm as a result of this information.
Directions
(Okay, so what do I have to do and how do I do it?)
Step 1: Review the company you work for (or have worked for) and what you have learned in the course
You likely already work for a company and may even be a manager in that company. Think about the problems, challenges, and issues that exist in that company. Consider the online lectures and discussions. Also have a look at the information presented in the textbook in relation to the problems, challenges, and issues you identify. After you identify specific problems, challenges, and issues, then identify relevant outside sources only from the journal list provided on eCollege.  
Step 2: Plan your work
The broad goal of this assignment is to put yourself in the shoes of management from the company you work for (or have worked for) and identifying how the information you have learned in the course could help to increase the effectiveness of management in the firm and then create a 15 point document that clearly demonstrates what you have learned that would be of use to management, providing evidence from two different OUTSIDE sources per point (30 total references) ONLY from the journal list provided on eCollege. It might also help at this point to review how you're going to be assessed (see below).
Step 3: Complete the assignment
The deliverable for completing the assignment will be a document that contains 15 points. These 15 points should be detailed enough that management could actually use the feedback by implement clear and concrete plans for change and need to each be supported by two different outside sources ONLY from the journal list provided on eCollege for a total of 30 references (include reference section at the end).

**Please note that unless two unique outside sources ONLY from the journal list on eCollege are used to support each point (30 total references), then that point will not count. For each point that does not count, an automatic 3% will be deleted from your total grade above.  

The purpose of the final project is to identify very specific real-life problems you have seen management face in an organization and then demonstrating how what you have learned from the course and found in the journal articles helps to solve that issue. I would recommend going back and reading Appendix A in the syllabus with the above in mind. Each point you come up with is self-contained and needs to have two unique citations as support from the journal list found on eCollege. Each point should be detailed enough that management could actually use your feedback, so probably around a page or so single spaced for each point.  Be careful not to pitch your points at too high or broad level. In order to be successful in putting together your points the first step is to identify very specific real-life problems that you have actually seen real managers face and then developing specific points to address these problems based on what you have learned in the course and found in the journal articles. I would recommend looking at the example paper I have on eCollege under doc sharing (where you can also find the journal article list). Remember that the points are not for everyone in the organization; it is only for management and as such should be very specific and direct to the management in the organization you have identified. I am looking for quality over quantity in these workshops, so it needs to be very clear what the problems are that are being addressed and how they relate to management in a specific organization. Therefore, keep the following in mind:
1) The intended audience really should be the specific managers from the company you have identified the specific problems from.
2) I am looking for quality over quantity. So I would recommend cutting out most of the broad and general info about the topics you cover and instead cover in a more specific and detailed way according to specific and concrete real-life examples/case you have identified. The idea is that you are to take a very specific job (preferably one you have had in the past) and identify problems and issues you noticed that managers faced and then use the info you learned from the course that applies to those problems and issues to craft your separate points. 
3) Add in very specific details that would apply to the managers of the job you have identified (once again preferably one you have had in the past).
4) You want to get away from covering the topics in broad and general ways and get into the actual specifics of managers in actual real-life jobs. So the points you come up with should be able to be applied to the specific managerial job you are directing your points towards. You will need to spell-out what that connection is in the specific points.Click Here To Get More On This Paper!!!!

Essay #3:  Question Paper

Reading:  Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow
​The House I Live In, dir. Eugene Jarecki (optional)

Assignment Overview:
In this essay, you will develop a question based on the issues we’ve discussed from Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow.  Your essay, then, will be about answering and exploring your question.  In a question paper, the thesis statement is delayed until the end; after all, you can’t really answer a good question until you’ve explored the possibilities.

State your question in a one-sentence opening paragraph.  Use the body of the essay to try to answer your question.  By the end of the essay, you should be close to achieving an answer.

Some things to consider:
 Start with a good question – one that digs into the reading and issues of race, mass incarceration, implicit vs. explicit bias, racial caste system, etc.

 Feel free to ask a question you cannot complete answer.  The intellectual investigation is the point of the essay – not a “right” answer.

Essay criteria:
 1000-1500 words (4-6 pages)

 paragraphs that contain vigorous topic sentences that link back to the question, concrete support for topic sentences, interpretation of support, closure sentence

 support that includes information from at least 3 chapters of The New Jim Crow

 transitions between paragraphs

 a conclusion that answers the question and points out the implications of that answer
