Minorities

Review the five characteristics of minority groups from your textbook. ( I have included below)  Based on those characteristics, research, identify and discuss at least THREE racial, ethnic, cultural, or religious minority groups in the US.  Why are these three groups considered minority groups? Use 2-3 sources and 1 page for this discussion.

The text book : According to Charles Wagley and Marvin Harris (1958), a minority group is distinguished by five characteristics: (1) unequal treatment and less power over their lives, (2) distinguishing physical or cultural traits like skin colour or language, (3) involuntary membership in the group, (4) awareness of subordination, and (5) high rate of in-group marriage

lead contamination

This is a continuation of a paper you had wrote previously this will be the last 5 pages of a 10 page policy paper . I attached the first 5 page paper you wrote and attached the comments by the professor when she graded it and her main focus on what she wants the paper to focus on the social disparities in poorer communities and lead contaminations. She wants to discuss the lead in Flint, MI water supply and the lead contamination in housing in New York. This is a policy  paper and how policies need to be implemented to better all individuals not just those with a higher income. she wants an abstract in the beginning of the paper.

Essay Questions

Answer these questions in regard to emergency management. Heavy sourcing is not needed.

Each answer should be at least 150 words. Thanks!

Describe the process of Presidential Disaster Declarations and how this process has changed over time. Why were these changes made? Have the changes to this process resulted in improved disaster response and recovery in the recent 2017 Hurricanes Harvey and Irma? Why?

The textbook discussed one important aspect of major focusing events and the political issues that can affect response and recovery efforts. In major catastrophes, such as Hurricane Katrina or the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, political controversies and agendas may cause independent actions by lawmakers that detract from disaster response and recovery efforts. Discuss the dynamic that causes this phenomenon, and describe what actions can be taken to reduce the likelihood of this occurring or would minimize the impact.

Describe the crisis management difficulties in response to the BP Deepwater Horizon. What were the competing directives that could be considered governing for this disaster? What problems did this cause in execution of response and recovery actions? In your view, which directive should have been invoked, and why? Has this competing directive gap been rectified? 

Describe the formation of DHS. What changes to DHS and FEMA were made following Hurricane Katrina? Why?

Describe the communications confusion problems that inhibited effective response and recovery from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. What caused these problems and what actions would you recommend to prevent similar communications confusion in future major focusing events. 

Tensions- Community-Engaged Scholarship &Practice

response paper should be about 5 pages and include:
2-3 big ideas/themes related to this topic that you found intriguing
What ideas/assumptions you began with about this topic that evolved through the
readings/discussions
Any questions that were raised for you (What would you like to learn more about?)
Response papers should not read like diary entries. In other words, the paper should not focus on how you feel about a particular issue, but how you are sense-making as we plough through the readings and engage in class discussions. I will evaluate your understanding of the readings, your ability to analyze and think critically about the readings, and your ability to apply the main ideas of the readings. You might make explicit and nuanced connections between theoretical and practical ideas gleaned from the readings and class discussions. Thus, if you draw from your community research experiences, analyze said experiences with theoretical insight from the readings and class discussions.
In short, use your 5 pages wisely, in a scholarly manner.
