Terms like the following are important to mention in this research paper: Salutogenesis by Arron Antonovskys. Salutogenesis has a major following in the epistemic (knowledge) health promotion community because it has help guide health public policy making. Salutogenesis ways are – thinking about health are more positive and focus on what creates health and well-being rather than on what causes ill health. Health is hard to talk about in a positive light as oppose in a negative light. A good example of this is how books that come out have come out on how war started instead of how how to achieve peace. Logically, health promotion should align itself with more salutogenic ways of understanding and conceptualizing health. Salutogenesis is one attempt to capture a positive view of health and its causes and challenge negative ways of conceptualizing health. Upstream and downstream thinking Upstream thinking Zola (1970, in McKinlay, 1979) is credited with developing the river analogy (example in lecture with the faucet and mop). Instead of finding the root of the problem and finding solutions, the downstream thinking is often approach but not always the best. Social Models of Public Health The social model sees ill health as caused by social conditions. Medical Models of Public Health Medical model sees ill health as caused by disease. You can incorporate that into your bill. Part 1: Essay (3,000 words) In this part of the assessment you will write a 3000 word essay addressing ONE of the following questions: 3. Salutogensis and upstream approaches are key ideas for health promotion, but still a medical model of health dominates. Discuss this statement critically drawing on examples from the literature to illustrate your argument. 4. Empowerment is a fundamental, social, political and often misunderstood process for health promotion where equity and social justice are the primary goal. Use the literature to critically discuss this statement. 5. The Ottawa Charter is regarded as the starting point for modern health promotion, but many new health challenges have arisen since it was written. Critically discuss which aspects are still relevant, how the key messages and focus have been refined over time, and which contemporary issues health promotion should prioritise in the future.. In your essay are you expected to demonstrate that you have met Learning Outcomes 2, 4 and 5. You therefore need to draw on key concepts and underlying principles in public health and health promotion in a national and global context, draw on and analyse relevant theory (models, approaches and methods) in public health and health promotion, and consider the relevant disciplinary foundations of health promotion. You will be expected to read widely and demonstrate this in your essay by drawing on a range of academic sources to support your arguments. You will be assessed according to the following criteria: The extent to which you have drawn on key concepts and underlying principles in public health and health promotion (25%) LO 2 The extent to which you have drawn on, and analysed, relevant theory (models, approaches and methods) (25%) LO 4 The extent to which you have critically considered the disciplinary foundations of health promotion (25%) LO 5 Evidence of wider reading, the use of academic literature in your work and accuracy of Harvard referencing (25%).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

 

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
