Sociology Question

Post ID: 3330843

Overview

The top 4 modifiable risk factors that result in much of our country’s illness, suffering, and death are

  • Lack of physical activity
  • Poor nutrition
  • Tobacco Use
  • Excessive Alcohol Intake

    • Writing Prompts

    For your assignment, you are to research one of these risk factors and write a letter to someone you know who practices this behavior and explain why they should modify it.

    You are required to: 1) Provide factual/statistical evidence to support why this behavior is hurting their health 2) Explain what the consequences of continuing this behavior might be and how it would benefit them if they stopped. 3) Provide research-based advice on how to stop this behavior

    Technical Requirements

  • Your essay should be a minimum of 4 pages and not 1 sentence less. This does not include the works cited page.
  • 12-point font (Times New Roman, Calibri, or Arial)
  • Double spaced
  • Written and saved in Word format (.doc, .docx)
  • 1-inch margins
  • Written in paragraph format and cited in APA format (with in-text citations!)
  • 1 works cited page (APA format) with a minimum of 2 professional sources. If you do not include a works cite page, you will receive a zero on grounds of plagiarism.

    • What Is Considered a Professional Source? 1. Websites that end in .gov or .org 2. Textbooks, books, science/health journals, encyclopedias (you may use UH’s online library to find these) 3. Websites pre-approved by Professor Rafique

    Do Not Ramble Your paper should be research based. Do not ramble or BS! This is still a research assignment. Keep personal introductions to 1 paragraph long (4-5 sentences).

    Your Heading Must be Formatted as Follows:

    Name HLT 1353: Section #

    Title

    That’s it. No cover page. No headings that take up lines and lines of writing space. No hard-entering between paragraphs. I will deduct points if your heading eats up too much space.

    APA Format

    I like to require APA format in order to familiarize you with this style of citing work. If you need help, visit Purdue Owl’s website on APA format or visit the writing center on campus. It is a simple format. Download the latest version of Word from AccessUH and you will not even need to research this style much—simply use the “references” tab to enter your sources and auto-generate in-text citations as well as your works cited page.
