Please read the chapter 17 attached and write the discussion with APA format and include references and citation.
Discussion Topic:
Chapter 17 introduced some challenges to policy making in developing countries. If you were an analyst working for the St. Petersburg Informational and Analytical Center, explain how you would use data available to you to prepare a report for the Governor for the State Program “Combating Proliferation of Drugs.” Briefly explain what you would include in your report to detail the problem, and what the forecast results would be for each of several responses to the problem. (You do not have to use actual data from a real model for this discussion.) The idea is to focus on how models can use real data to create forecasts.
To complete this assignment, you must do the following:
A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, assume you are an analyst working for the St. Petersburg Informational and Analytical Center. Explain how you would use data available to you to prepare a report for the Governor for the State Program “Combating Proliferation of Drugs.” Briefly explain what you would include in your report to detail the problem, and what the forecast results would be for each of several responses to the problem. (You do not have to use actual data from a real model for this discussion.) The idea is to focus on how models can use real data to create forecasts.
B) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that student’s recommendations. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread.
ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)
NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your words.
For this Assignment, you will review the Learning Resources on transitions, paragraph development, and the MEAL plan. With the principles outlined in the Learning Resources in mind, you will add transitional phrases, words, or sentences that connect your three paraphrased main ideas from the Week 3 Assignment.
To prepare for this Assignment:
The Assignment:
Revise the three paraphrased main points from the Week 3 Assignment to align with MEAL plan guidelines.
To do so, separate each main point into its own paragraph. Add a topic sentence (the M in the MEAL plan), and add 1–2 sentences per paraphrased main point to create connection between the ideas. Be sure to review your Week 2 Assignment where you created a rationale for selecting each main point. Because you had to determine how the main points relate to each other, that particular Assignment may help guide you in creating transitional phrases for better flow.
Use the following questions to guide the writing of your paragraphs:
Submit your Assignment using the Walden Course Paper template. Your submission should be 3 paragraphs long.
Note: Applications that are submitted without using the Walden Course Paper template
will not be reviewed by your Instructor.
The paper will address the problems and challenges related to various Homeland Security Management topics. You may choose a topic that is highlighted in the book or any subject that relates to what you have chosen as your research topic/presentation. This is an analytical and prescriptive assignment: If you don’t identify a problem, you don’t have a paper that meets the learning outcome. How you address the problem or challenge’s causes, implications and possible solutions, will form the basis of your critical thinking grade. The recommendations you offer will form the basis for evaluating critical the originality of your ideas.
The research paper is about how to prepare for large scale earthquake (San Andreas). My topic is about “The Big One” which will hit California at some point in the near future.
-Page range is 4-6 pages (not counting title and reference pages)

Note the attached PDF of this assignment…
1. Explain thoroughly how it took 55 years (from 1915 until 1970) for the hypothesis of Continental Drift to develop into the theory of Plate Tectonics. Your answer should be no less than 500 words. (50 points)
READ THIS! – In other words, use the theory of Plate Tectonics to show how the Scientific Method was used to “flesh out” the hypothesis of Continental Drift put forth by Wegener, by adding new data provided by new technology and people until general buy-in was obtained in 1970, when the term “Plate Tectonics” was coined. (Chapter 1, especially 1.3, The Nature of Scientific Inquiry; and Chapter 2, especially 2.1 through 2.3, and 2.9, “Testing the Plate Tectonics Model”). Do not spend time discussing what came before 1915! Wegener did a great job of laying out the evidence he had available at the time. After your introductory paragraph, I do not expect to see the name “Wegener” again.
Be sure to explain:
2. Use plate tectonic theory to explain the origin of Mount St. Helens (and by extension, the Cascades and all Andean-type mountains). Your answer should be no less than 500 words. (50 points)

1) A good friend of yours hears you are taking a course in “positive psychology.” He/she has never heard of “positive psychology” and asks you to tell him/her what the course is about and when and why psychologists became interested in the field. Contrast the issues of particular interest to positive psychologists with those coming from the medical model approach.
Write at least one paragraph–or more (in your own words)–where you explain what the field of psychology is about, making sure to distinguish this subject area from others in the field of psychology as well as from some information presented in the popular media that mention “happiness”-related topics. In addition, explain why there is a need for a careful study of issues related to the field.
2) Then, in another paragraph or more, inform your friend of what you are most hoping to learn in the course, given the topics that are covered in the subject area, and explain why those topics most interest you. Be sure to select at least two topics that you think would be of most interest to you. Explain what each topic is about—to the best of your ability and in your own words.Identify at least one question that you have about each of those topics.
