Evaluating Strategies of Change

 

Write a 2000-word research paper that explores a particular topic or issue that is of concern to women, lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people, and/or gender-nonconforming/transgender people and evaluates potential strategies for improving their working lives.

Begin by choosing a topic that you would like to explore in greater depth, such as sexual harassment; employment rights; LGB, transgender, and gender-nonconforming people in the workplace; pay equity and the wage gap; sensitivity training, women at the top, and solidarity; self-employment; child-care policy; women and unions; or greater recognition for women’s unpaid work. You should consult with your tutor about other suitable topics for this assignment.

Next, identify potential sources of information on your topic. You will need to obtain suitable books, articles, and other resource materials. Be sure to look for resources that will help you document concrete, up-to-date strategies that women, LGB people, and/or gender-nonconforming/transgender people may be working on. Useful resources might be obtained from local organizations that are working on the issue, such as various women’s, human rights and workers’ rights groups, or unions. They may be able to provide you with written materials, policy papers, or even someone you could speak with. Regional, national, and international organizations offer relevant resources on their websites, which may also include links to other online resources and organizations. Local, provincial, and federal government offices can also provide information on specific policies and programs and, in some cases, position papers on specific issues.

Use the following questions as guidelines in researching and writing your paper:

What is the general issue you are addressing, and why is it important? What is the current state of the problem? What strategies, if any, have been pursued to date in dealing with it?

Through your reading of the course material, what major insights, theories, and concepts emerge with respect to this issue?

Through your research on this topic or issue, what relevant resources and/or organizations did you identify? What type of work have these organizations done on this issue? How much interest and attention is it receiving? What strategy or strategies are individuals, organizations, or governments pursuing to improve the situation? Describe what is involved in each of these strategies.

Based on your reading and research, how would you evaluate the strategy or strategies that you have described? What are their respective strengths and weaknesses? In your view, do they promise to improve the working lives of women? If not, what other options should be pursued?

Once you have considered these questions, develop your thesis statement. What is the main argument that your paper will be making regarding your topic?

The Respiratory System

The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the body with oxygen through breathing, this action is involuntary. By inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, through gas exchange. This process is achieved through the alveoli, which are adapted to make gas exchange happen easily and efficiently. The alveoli has an enormous surface area due to the blood vessels and capillaries, the walls are moist and thin, this is because of a substance secreted inside the alveoli known as surfactant and is produced by specialized cells. Because the surface area of the alveoli is so big this enables gas exchange to take place more efficiently. Gases move by diffusion, from high concentration to low concentration, oxygen diffuses from the air in the alveoli into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the air in the alveoli. Your respiratory system is made up of airways, your lungs and blood vessels and muscles attached to them. Air is sucked in through the mouth and nose, through the voice box, down the windpipe, and into the two lungs. Tiny mucous covered hairs known as cilia, act as filters to remove any foreign particles or germs. Once in the lungs the air goes to blood vessels that are connected to veins and arteries, which then carry it throughout your whole body. When you exhale carbon dioxide leaves the body the same way oxygen was taken in. Coughing or sneezing is our body’s way of removing these particles and germs. Abdominal muscles help the lungs to expand and contract in order for us to inhale and exhale. (Taylor, 1999-2013). [5]

Our respiratory systems are made up of many components: (Pearson, 2014). [5]

  • Pharynx
  • Trachea
  • Epiglottis
  • Larynx
  • Bronchi
  • Alveoli
  • Lungs

Cellular respiration

Cellular respiration is made up of three main stages, glycolysis, which means ‘splitting sugars’. This can occur with or without oxygen, without oxygen glycolysis makes only small amounts of ATP, this is known as fermentation. (Bailey, 2014). [1]

The second stage is known as Krebs cycle or the citric acid cycle. Two molecules of the three carbon sugars produced in glycolysis is converted into acetyls COA, known as NAD and FAD. These reduced forms carry ‘high energy’ electrons to the next stage. Citric acid only occurs when oxygen is present, but does not us
