Write a 1-page release (at least 5 full paragraphs) using the following information. Try your hand at a headline too. You are representing U.S. Women’s National Soccer as their PR representative.
Subject: Alex Morgan, 30-year-old female U.S. women’s soccer national team player. Story: Morgan has refused to play in the U.S. qualifier for the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan citing unfair wages in relation to what the U.S. men’s national team is being paid for the same competition. She is encouraging other team members to join her in protest. The Federation International Football Association (FIFA) which is the official governing body for soccer for the Olympic Games. They are threatening to expel the U.S. from competition if they do not compete rendering the team ineligible to win a gold medal. The U.S. women are the defending champions winning in Brazil in 2016. Morgan is third all-time in goals scored in International Soccer competition having netted 24 goals in 54 appearances for the U.S. team. She is a current co-captain of the 2020 squad along with Megan Rapinoe and Carly Lloyd. Rapinoe and Lloyd are 1-2 all-time goal scorers with 34 and 30, respectively. Married to Servando Carrasco, Morgan recently gave birth to a baby daughter (Molly) in January 2020. She has trained hard to make her debut at the Olympics Games this July.U.S. women’s soccer national team coach Tony Meola is adamant that the Americans will field a team for the qualifying round. He stated he would bring up college players and U.S. junior team members from the U.S. pipeline if need be.Quotes: “I don’t feel like I’m doing anything that crazy by protesting,” said Morgan. “The women’s national soccer team trains just as hard, plays the same number of games and our pay scale is not even close to what the men’s team makes. It’s a total disregard for the work we put in and the sacrifices we make as U.S. national team players.”“I appreciate Ms. Morgan’s passion for her team and the stance she is taking, but the U.S. women’s national team will not set foot in Tokyo without playing their final qualifying game – which they must win or tie in order to compete,” said FIFA President, Mike Peck. “Women’s soccer has come a long way in the past 10 years. We’ve won the last two Olympic gold medals plus countless international and national competitions and we’re still not respected in terms of salary by FIFA and U.S. Soccer,” said Rapinoe.“I’m fed up with this inequality. It is sexist & biased. No doubt in my mind,” said Lloyd.“This is no time to mount a protest,” Meola said. “Alex and the veterans should know their place and not use the Olympics for politics and negotiating salaries.”“Good for you Alex – You Go Girl,” wrote Alexi Lawless, former U.S. men’s national soccer player. “The time is right for the U.S. women’s team to make equal pay.” Aftermath: A ruling will be made by the FIFA governing body on May 28. The U.S. women’s soccer team’s Olympic qualifier is the weekend of May 23-24 at the Walt Disney Sports Complex in Orlando, FL.

Getting Started
Where were you when the first plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center? Do you remember what you were doing when Hurricane Katrina hit the Louisiana coastline? Do you remember the tsunami that hit Indonesia? What about the earthquake that leveled Haiti? All of these events were turning points in history and have had an impact on how the world powers operate and collaborate, as well as how the US does business with other countries. These events have even affected how we pack when we travel by plane. If you were a nurse when these events occurred, did you help with the recovery efforts? As you look forward, would you consider helping with the recovery in the wake of disasters?
In this discussion, you will take a closer look at the role of public health nurses in assisting with disaster management and recovery. In your reading, you will discover the agencies that will prepare you both personally and professionally to impart care at the point of need in a disaster. Disaster training is an ever-evolving educational process; far from static, it has changed dramatically since the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. As presented in Workshop Five, you chose a disaster topic to research.  In this discussion, post your findings for your peers. Come ready to learn how to prepare your home, your family, and your professional self to deal with a disaster.
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
Differentiate various roles and responsibilities of nurses throughout the disaster management cycle.
Describe the collaborative effort between nurses, interprofessional colleagues, and community stakeholders in the disaster management cycle.

first partThis week you will be posting about one thing you learned about in Chapter 8. You just need to write a couple of sentences on it and describe what it is and why it is interesting. Here is the catch…you have to write about something that no one else has posted about yet! So the sooner you post, the easier it will be. Make sure you only talk about one topic (person, event, place, etc) so that there will be enough topics for the whole class! If you complete the assignment earlier, you will have more topics to choose from, and those will be easier to explain!second part-This assignment we are going to work on our Student Learning Outcomes. These are the things you are supposed to be able do when you finish this class. We have 3 of them!1) Analyze primary and secondary sources and explain how they support a thesis statement2) Explain relationships between the causes of historical events and their effects.3) Describe a relevant individual involved in an historical event and explain his/her significance in this event.1) Analyze primary and secondary sources (Links to an external site.) and explain how they support a thesis statementThis means a few things. First you have to understand what a primary and/or a secondary source is. And then understand what a thesis statement (Links to an external site.) is. Lastly, you should be able to see how a source supports (or does not support) a thesis statement. Here is a very basic example of a thesis statement: “The quality of life for many Americans during the Great Depression was very bad when compared to other generations.” A primary source that would support that statement would be a letter written by someone living in the 1930s that says “My life is terrible! It was sooooo much better in the 1920s, OMG! I have no job, my kids can’t eat and I am sick. I wish I could LOL but it is too hard!” Reading that, you would think they didn’t have a good life, and would say that letter supports you thesis statement.2) Explain relationships between the causes of historical events and their effects.This one perhaps is a little easier. For example, take Buddhism. Siddhartha Gautama sat beneath the famous tree and meditated and then he had an awakening. This was one of the causes of the creation of the religion known as Buddhism. One of the effects of it was that Buddhism became a very popular religion that is still practiced widely around the globe.3) Describe a relevant individual involved in an historical event and explain his/her significance in this event.Perhaps the easiest, and most of you have already done this in the short answers on our test. You just need to talk about a person and a historical event, and why that person was important to it. For example, “In 2021 the Padres won the World Series. Alan Renga played a significant role in this, because he struck out 89 batters and hit 8 home runs for the Padres.”So for this assignment, I want you to pick one of the SLOs, describe it in your own words, and give an example from chapter 9 that shows you understand it! It is worth 10 points and is due Monday September 20th at 11:59
