Please answer the following questionseffectively in essay format.

1. Thinking about the community you grew up in, describe thehealth of that community, including its challenges and assets.

2. Write about a time when you faced a challenge, setback orfailure. How did you address the situation? What did you learnabout yourself and if applicable, how you interact with others?

Please read the following article from last year’s Economist magazine about antibiotic resistance and the development (or should I say, rediscovery) of non-anti-biotic methods of dealing with it.

http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21633796-new-way-fight-bacterial-infections-making-resistance-futile

(a) The article says that each year 23,000 deaths are caused by antibiotic resistance in the United States. Please do some basic research and tell us how “serious” this problem seems to be at least as compared to the number of deaths caused by other factors? For your “pleasure” you may also want to think about how many of the deaths that you examine are seemed to be caused by known environmental factors as compared to other factors.

(b) In the article, we learn that the Department of Health and Human Services is establishing a prize of $20 million payable to the person/entity that comes up with a rapid diagnostic test for the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. If the concern about such bacteria is that their spread would kill people, then comment on the benefits of this prize-based approach to the problem and then comment on the problems with this particular way of using prizes as compared to offering prizes for something else. (note that there is also a new literature emerging discussing the problems with all prized-based approaches, so please do not interpret this question as an absolute sanction of prizes)

(c) Suppose the antibody approach described in the article is successful. Describe what the existence of these antibody therapies does to the “externality” created by overuse of antibiotics and describe how this solution comports with the conventional wisdom about who is responsible for “solving” externalities problems.

Big amount of text but the concepts are straight forward. Please help !


1. To understand how energycould be flowing in this aquatic ecosystem, list the differentautotrophic and heterotrophic organisms found at each pond, andexplain its role in energy flow through the system.

2. How would the pH anddissolved oxygen change over the course of a day (morning, noon,and night)? Over the course of a year? What is driving thesechanges?


3.Levels of organic wastes from manmade sources such asfood-processing plants, run-off from the lawn, and wastewatertreatment bring a lot of organic material to the aquatic ecosystemsfavoring the oxidation of organic compounds. What would happen tothe dissolved oxygen and pH in the ponds or lakes if a large amountof wastewater is added to these systems?


4. What ecosystem goodsand services does each of the ponds you sampled today provide FIUas an institution? Do any of them benefit you personally? Name oneother Florida ecosystem and describe 2 goods or services itprovides the south Florida population.
