Category: Global issues & Disaster and Crisis management

Assignment: Read the three articles provided. Then write a 3 to 4-page (approximate length) paper (double spaced, one-inch margins) with the title “people drink for different reasons: some good some bad.” You are allowed to use other resources as well, but you need to address the following issues in your paper.
a. What is the social-learning framework and how does it apply to the reasons people drink alcohol, i.e., drinking motives? 
b. What are the different types of reasons/motivations underlying why people drink?
• Describe each and give examples of the questions used to measure each reason.
c. Regarding the different reasons for drinking, are they related to different antecedents (causal factors) and outcomes?  Provide the appropriate reference for your answers (i.e., which of the studies – out of the three you were given – found the results you mention?).
d. Which of these motives seems to be the most problematic in terms of drinking-related problems?
• Do the authors of the studies suggest why drinking for this reason might lead to alcohol abuse and dependence?
e. Which motive appears to be least problematic in terms of drinking-related problems?
• Do the authors of the studies suggest why drinking for this reason is not as problematic?
f. Can you think of any other reasons for drinking (motives) that are not identified here? 
• How might you measure these motives, i.e., what types of questions would you ask? Provide several example questions.
• Regarding the new motive you identified, do you think it would be maladaptive or adaptive? Explain.
HELPFUL HINT: don’t stress out over trying to understand all the information from the results sections. Focus more on the summaries of the findings in the “discussion” sections.

The student will complete a research paper providing a detailed examination of all phases of disaster management. The student will examine all phases of disaster management including: an overview of the emergency management discipline; key concepts, definitions, and perspectives; mitigation to include prevention; and preparedness, planning, response, and recovery. The following subtopics will be included within the respective phase they best fit: human behavior, warnings, evacuation, sheltering, special needs populations, triage, damage assessment, disaster declarations, debris removal, media relations, crisis counseling, and assistance, as well as fiscal issues. Decision-making, unified command, incident command, EOC operations, along with coordination efforts will be examined. The roles of faith-based agencies as well as public-private partnerships will be discussed. The student will approach it from a holistic manner considering all potential disciplines that might be involved in any phase of dealing with a disaster. Finally, biblical foundations should be addressed. 
Instructions
