Meilaender begins with the definitions and clarification of the differences between procreation as it was labeled in the earlier years. He uses Leon Kass’ work to help describe it as “The pre-modern Christian English speaking world, impressed with the world as given by a Creator, used the term “pro-creation. “We, impressed with the machine and the gross national product (our own work of creation), employ a metaphor of the factory, “re-production.” (Kass, 2014). As he states that pro-creation is the natural way to form life and reproduction is a non-natural way to create life, this can be defined differently today.

Begotten he defines as a child that is created naturally vs being made, but also discusses that regardless this child was created for a man and woman that loved each other (Meilaender, 2013). My belief is that if God did not want children to be created, whether naturally or through assistance, then he would have not placed the knowledge into the brains of the discovery of such. This advancement in technology has been able to create children for those that are unable to conceive and that can give a great and loving life to that child. There are those parents that should not be allowed to procreate, but then the world would not be as diversified as it is today. I think the language that Meilaender uses to describe in chapter is relevant, but agreeing I am not 100%. I think today, verbiage that is used to describe something as special as conceiving a child should not be distinguished between natural vs. unnatural.

Reflecting on Meilaender’s reading his distinction between procreation and reproduction is described as, procreation referring to the world as designed or given by the Creator, whereas Meilaender defines reproduction as the work of humans to, “master and reshape our world” (2013). This could be a little confusing to some people, as the phrase begotten is used,“only begotten Son” occurs in John 3:16, which reads in the King James Version as, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The phrase “only begotten” translates the Greek word monogenes. This word is variously translated into English as “only,” “one and only,” and “only begotten.” Meilaneder basically states the same thing that “The Father gives all that he is and has to the son. He begets him” he gives all he has to his one and only son. I am unsure how I feel about these topics to be truthful, I’ve never really thought of it… any thoughts classmates?

A friend, colleague, or your boss asks you what you are studying. You respond that you are taking a course on Informatics for Health Professionals. They respond, “What is Health Informatics?”

Describe and define health informatics. Base your response on review of items under “Course Home” (especially the Introduction, reading chapter one in the Medical Informatics etextbook, and introductory videos). Add a reference to add credibility to your discussion as well as share your thoughts on the value of health informatics.

base on the video and the information that I attached the writing has to be 200 words.

The purpose of the experiment : To apply a previously- studied influencing strategy to an existing real-life situation.
Order Description
Instructions for the experiment assignment The only constraint is that the target of your influencing attempt should be a stranger (no relations or person/people with whom you have an emotional relationship). Emotional ties can affect the outcome, and not give you an accurate reflection of your influencing attempt.
1. Describe your influencing situation in the present, in an abbreviated form, to allow you to justify your choice of model. Do not use an influencing attempt conducted in the past.
2. Select ONE, main influencing model that has been discussed in the course (a research finding, model, theory or prescription), which suggests a way of increasing your success at influencing others. For example – Allesandra’s personality types; Maslow’ needs hierarchy; Cohen & Bradford’s currencies; Cialdini’s weapons of influencing; Kipnis & Schmidt’s influencing styles; or Brown’s management-by consequences, etc. You can combine, other course ideas as appropriate, to supplement or complement your main idea, but only to a lesser extent. Do not use influencing models / frameworks not covered in the course (e.g. ‘Big 5’, MBTI)
3. Review the influencing model briefly (it is already summarized in the textbook chapter, and has been presented in the session). Use the bibliography and Google Scholar to locate and consult complementary / more recent research on your model.
4. Either create an experiment to test the effectiveness of your chosen idea, or using an existing real-life situation, apply the idea to it. This part of your answer should contain the following sections:
1. (a) Identify the person(s) whom you wish to influence.
2. (b) Describe your influencing approach. State what you are planning to say and do, and why (what led you to make this decision). Explain how your choices relate to your chosen influencing idea and its associated academic research/reading, and why you believe they will work. Justify this with reference to specific influencing research models, studies and authors.
3. (c) Incorporate other, relevant parts of the AOI course material – selectively and briefly, as appropriate to enhance your influencing. Show the link between your influencing elment and the research finding / opinion (e.g. “I will wear blue because Snodgrass’s research into colour showed that…”). To secure a higher grade, incorporate some newer (post -2010) reading that you have found yourself in academic journals like Social Influence and similar ones listed on page 2 (use the Google Scholar search engine).
4. (d) Whenusingresearch/readingdonotjust‘namedrop’authornames+year in your answer (e.g. ‘Smith 2012’). Rather, explain your author’s contribution (research finding, opinion) to your argument/discussion (e.g. “Smith’s (2010) findings showed that …”; “Smith (2010) argued that …” You need to convince examiners that you have actually read the material and understand it.
5. (e) Actually, conduct the experiment (e.g. persuade your flatmates to stop/start …/ persuade your boss to …). As you do so, observe what happens. Can you audio-record the interaction for later assessment? Anyway, make as detailed notes on what happened as soon after the event as possible. Only the main occurrences need to be described.
(f) Reflect on what happened. Critically evaluate the outcome in the light of your influencing model. What went right, what went wrong? Relate your evaluation back to influencing theory and research. Were you wholly successful; partly successful or a failure? What might you do differently next time?
5. Where the planned influencing interactions are of a short duration of 1-2 minutes (e.g. asking strangers for money in the street), there should be a sufficient number to allow a statistical comparison (50+). Longer, more involved influencing interactions will require fewer attempts, or perhaps only one. Match the duration of each influencing interaction to the number of subjects. The assignment is worth 25% of the final course grade, so the number of subjects interacted with, your data collect effort, research and reading involved, should reflect this weighting.
AOI assignment presentation requirements
Read the following assignment presentation requirements carefully, and follow them.
1. The assignment should be 3,500 words long – no shorter and no longer. If you need to’bulk it up’, incorporate some extra academic reading.
2. It should have 11/2 line spacing
3. It should have exactly a 2.5 cm margin on the left hand side, and a 4 cm margin on the right hand side.
4. The assignment word count excludes the appendices and references.
5. Within your answer, cite authors’ contributions by their name, using ‘surname + year of publication’ e.g. Shum (2011); Buchanan and Huczynski (2010), not by their journal article title, the journal name, or name of their book.
6. All quotations should have the page indicated on which they appear e.g. Shum, 2011, p.405
7. Do not use footnotes or reference numbering. Place all author citations at the end of the essay in the references section.
8. In the references section, list the authors alphabetically, by first author surname.
9. For journal articles, include author name, year, article title, journal name, volume number, issue number and page range, e.g.: i. Shum, P.K. (2011), ‘Ethics and law: Guiding the invisible hand to correct corporate social responsibility externalities’, Journal of Business Ethics, vol.24, no.3, pp. 403-441
10. For books, include author name, book title, publisher, place of publication, e.g.: i. Huczynski, A.A and Buchanan, D. (2013), Organizational Behaviour, 8th edition, Prentice Hall / Financial Times, Harlow, Essex
11. In the References, always give full details about an author’s original journal article / book, irrespective of which publication you found it in – NOT: Brown (2004) found in Shum (2011). Give the full Brown reference instead.
12. When using research / reading do not just ‘name drop’ author names + year in your answer (e.g. ‘Smith 2012’). Rather, explain your author’s contribution (research finding, opinion) that the cited author makes to your argument/discussion (e.g. “Smith’s (2010) finding showed that …”; “Smith (2010) argued that …” You need to convince examiners that you have actually read the material and understand it.
13. Find a trusted friend with a good command of written English, to proof read your final version before submission. Use font size 12.
