In this assignment, you will select one region of the world with known environmental issues and create a timeline of the events in this area, going back no more than 200 years. For example, you could choose to focus on the Gulf Coast in the United States and its history of hurricanes, floods, and the recent oil spill; the Love Canal disaster in New York; the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown in Ukraine; or Canada’s tar-sands in Alberta. Each of these areas has a history of environmental problems that have impacted populations, and their health, drastically.

To help identify a region with known environmental events for this assignment, consult your textbook, the WHO Public Health and Environment Program’s Web site, and the UNEP’s Web site. Please be sure to support your public health analysis of these environmental issues with evidence-based research.

Using this timeline of events, create a presentation analyzing the environmental issues in this region, including the following topics/issues:

• History—A brief timeline: Describe the environmental history for the area(s)/region(s) impacted, including the environmental disasters that have taken place and their immediate- and long-term impacts on the population’s health in this region. Wherever appropriate, include a description of the population(s) in the region, along with demographics and population sizes. This should take approximately 4–5 slides.

• The factors that caused these disasters and public health outcomes in this area. Be sure to list all known causative factors at play and whether they are caused by humans and/or are natural. This should take approximately 2–3 slides.

• An analysis of how these events have impacted or will impact the health and/or disease risk of this region of the world. Be sure to address other determinants of health—social, economic, cultural, and other environmental factors—in your analysis that influence or will influence the magnitude of environmental events on health outcomes in this region. Examine whether you are focusing on a region with primarily developed or developing countries and explain how this influences current and future health outcomes. This should take approximately 4–5 slides.

• A summary of past, current, and proposed efforts that aim to help combat the effects of these environmental issues/threats on health (local and/or global), including emergency response planning and prevention efforts. This should take approximately 3–4 slides.

• Three recommendations for strategies to protect populations in this region from poor health outcomes due to these environmental issues. Be sure that your three recommendations are supported with evidence-based research. These could include long-term policies, emergency response plans, or public health programs that would protect public health in the region. This should take approximately 3–4 slides.

• References used for the project in APA format. This should take approximately 2–3 slides.

Be sure to include detailed speaker notes for each slide to elaborate on what you would say while presenting your material.

Develop a 20–25-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

This assignment calls for TWO documents, a memo and a letter.  For the memo, you are a representative of the USA Olympic Committee and your task is to select a company that would make a perfect sponsor for the Olympic Games.  A typical commitment is $75 million, so clearly you need to find a big corporation to commit to such a large amount.   Sponsorship can be either in the form of goods or services.   When you have targeted a suitable corporation, then you will write a memo to Mr. Larry Probst, the Chair of the USA Olympic Committee, explaining exactly why you have selected this company, and exactly (in detail) what will be required of them.

Then, write a letter for the signature of Larry Probst addressed to the CEO of the targeted company, explaining why the company has been selected, and again, what exactly will be required from them. Here you will need to be very PERSUASIVE as you convince him or her that being offered Olympic Sponsorship is such a wonderful privilege/honor/rare opportunity.

Questions to ask yourself:

Will it be for summer or winter Olympics?

Goods or services?

Just for one country’s team, or for the entire Olympics Games enterprise?

Due April 22nd.
