Advances in genetic technology like genetic and genomic testing and gene editing are transforming human biological sciences, but are creating new ethical dilemmas. Here, we address the implications of direct-to-consumer genetic testing.

**Note–link to NPR story below is now functional
FDA Approves Marketing of Consumer Genetic Tests (NPR, 4/7/17) (Links to an external site.)

I had My DNA Picture Taken, With Varying Results (New York Times, 12/30/13) (Links to an external site.)

Read the two articles (links below) and then address the following questions in your post.

1. Would you be interested in having such a genetic test done? Why or why not? If you have had a consumer DNA test done and would like to share your experiences, you are welcome to do so.
2. Would you want to know if you were destined to contract an incurable degenerative disease such as Huntington’s disease or Alzheimer’s later in life? Would the results of such a test cause you to alter your lifestyle?
3. What concerns (with regard to ethics, privacy, etc.) might arise with the widespread use of such tests?

An agency has focused its system development and critical infrastructure data collection efforts on separate engineering management systems for different types of assets and is working on the integration of these systems. In this case, the agency focused on the data collection for two types of assets: water treatment and natural gas delivery management facilities. Please identify what type of critical infrastructure data collection is needed for pavement and storm water management facilities.
Assume that An agency has focused its system development and critical infrastructure data collection efforts on separate engineering management systems for different types of assets and is working on the integration of these systems. In this case, the agency focused on the data collection for two types of assets: water treatment and natural gas delivery management facilities. Please identify what type of critical infrastructure data collection is needed for pavement and storm water management facilities.

As indicated above, identify what type of critical infrastructure data collection is needed for pavement and storm water management facilities?

World War I

Review the following resources:

• Link (video): A War to End All Wars: Part 2 (Links to an external site.) (6:56)
• Link (library article): The Treaty of Versailles and the Rise of Nazism (Links to an external site.)

Then, address the following:

• Trace the origins of World War I, and assess if the world war was inevitable in 1914?
• Explain if it was possible for the United States to maintain neutrality in World War I. If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
• Analyze if the United States should have entered World War I to make the world safe for democracy.
• Analyze if the Treaty of Versailles was a fair and effective settlement for lasting world peace.
• Explain if the United States Senate should have approved of the Treaty of Versailles.
  • Read/review the following resources for this activity:
    • Textbook: Chapter 18, 21, 22
    • 1 source that corresponds with your selected topic (noted in the topic instructions)
    • Minimum of 3 scholarly sources (in addition to textbook)
    • Length: 3
    • 1-inch margins
    • Double spaced
    • 12-point Times New Roman font
    • Title page
    • References page
    • In-text citations that correspond with your end references

The aim of these exercises is to help you sharpen your writing and analytic skills, and to help you develop your own contributions to the class discussions. Of course, one page is an impossibly confined space, too small to fully critique the primary sources and secondary studies we will be discussing. Your aim in these weekly responses is not to summarize the reading, but instead to locate one or more of the major questions and issues of that these readings may present to you—issues such as authorship, audience, intent, context, method, argument, analysis, writing strategies, content etc. Thus, your response must pose one or more questions drawn from the reading and then discuss that question or questions. Remember, if yourquestion(s) can be answered with a “yes” or a “no,” then it/thesis/are not really appropriate question(s) for discussion, whether in your response or in class. Your identification of these questions and issues will help generate and direct our seminar discussion. Indeed, you may be asked in class to use the question(s) generated in your weekly response as part of our class discussion.

Assignment:
Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study.

Requirements:

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.

Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment.

You should NOT, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.
