I’m working on a public health discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Discussion
Cultural and linguistic competence is a combination of behaviors, attitudes, and policies in a system, agency, or among professionals to allow for practical cross-cultural work (ASHA, 2021). A person or organization that is culturally and linguistically competent can interact effectively with people from other cultures. The professional understands that differences do not imply deficiencies or disorders. Therefore, they provide services that are respectful of and responsive to an individual’s values, preferences, and language, as well as care and services that are not differentiated in quality based on ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, or other factors (ASHA, 2021). 
The cornerstone for change is our one-to-one relationships with one another. Hence, forging bonds with people from many cultures, frequently different cultures, is critical to forming varied communities capable of achieving big goals (Community Tool Box, 2021). Thus, the team at Kaizen Safety Solutions recognizes the importance of having cultural and linguistic competency, and they apply them towards building and making their relationships with clients more influential.
The team collaborates with people from various racial, linguistic, ethnic, and economic backgrounds, establishing connections based on trust, respect, mutual understanding, and shared goals, even if they know very little about them. They put their differences aside to collaborate and offer their support to address a common problem (Community Tool Box, 2021). For instance, the Kaizen team is currently working with various people with different ethnic and religious backgrounds, professions, and viewpoints to write a research article discussing the efficacy of using ozone generators for post-fire restorations, which will afterward be submitted for peer review by other scientists worldwide. The project is meant to help many people out there whose homes are being treated by these devices and afterward experiencing side effects from the ozone. 
Kaizen values their contributors’ insight and expertise and recognizes that to give the best services to their clients, they must be aware of and respectful of the diversity and cultures of the people they serve. Similarly, the Kaizen team takes its obligations to deliver culturally and linguistically acceptable services and conduct research very seriously.

Week 3 Discussion ForumWe often hear claims that “seem” credible and the sources of these claims can also seem credible at least at first glance. Analyze the credibility of media sources:Do you believe that all media sources are credible? Why or why not?Why should we (or should we not) question the credibility of the information that is presented to us from media sources?In addition to your initial post, you must also post substantive responses to at least two of your classmates’ posts in this thread. Provide an analysis of your peers’ post. Build on their examples and explanations to extend meaningful discussionBenjamin LaiI do not believe that all media sources are credible because there is typically a bias when it comes to the media that is being presented. I believe that certain stories have some priorities than others and may be given more detail than other stories. One example where this occurs most often is during the election period where the news stations typically portray a sense of bias towards the political group that they favor.We should always question the credibility of the information that is presented to us from media sources because of the certain biases that they may have. We also should determine if the news that we are presented comes from a source that portrays a sense of accurate information or else we would be left with information that may not come from a reputable source and may just be someone’s opinion rather than a fact.Stephanie LeePersonally, I do not believe that all media sources are credible. I feel that information can be misinterpreted wrong or intentionally be misused. For example, college students are taught that when looking for credible sources to not rely on Wikipedia. Reason being, that website can be changed by anyone. Thus, the information can be inaccurate which can result in you receiving a bad grade. As students our professor’s guide us to use credible sources such as the school library, textbooks, and websites (that contain edu, gov, and org). Such resources can provide information that not only educates us but is indeed accurate and that is back up with evidence. According to Moore and Parker (2020) it states that, “We are automatically suspicious of certain sources of information. We’ll look at several factors that should influence how much credence we give to a source” (p. 111). I felt that this statement spoke to me because, this is how I think when searching for credible sources for my assignments or when I write a paper. By not having credible information this can lead to people arguing over nothing. Which can result into massive disputes and potentially something more destructive that can cause harm to others.ReferenceMoore, B. N., & Parker, R. (2020). Critical thinking (13th ed.).

EditColorful bulleting boards in the classroom should be meaningful. This particular board is welcoming the children to their new classroom!Bulletin BoardPrompt:Considering the languages spoken by families in your community, design a sample bulletin board to share materials and information for staff, children, and families in your classroom. You will create a bulletin board either at your work place or on a tri-fold poster board. The information on the board should be relevant to early childhood and geared for children and their families. The bulletin board should support what we have been learning in class regarding diversity. Implement materials that would be important for children and families pertaining to your program and/or fictitious program. You will create a PowerPoint that shows each area of your board and you will submit online. You will want a picture of the bulletin board as a whole and then pictures of each section of your bulletin board with an explanation as to why you included this on your bulletin board.

QUESTION 18The following text relates to the next 3 questions. Please read it all the way through before responding. James and John are identical twins born in 1950. They were adopted into separate families at birth. James grew up in a wealthy family in an affluent suburb of Melbourne with parents with advanced degrees. James himself has a PhD and has been a lifelong participant in track and field. Growing up, James had easy access to pavements and bike ways allowing him to actively commute and his parents had easy access to fresh food. As a result of his track and field competitions he has maintained a healthy BMI and he maintains a healthy lifestyle living on a Mediterranean diet and drinking very little alcohol and avoiding smoking. He also engages in regular cognitive training with some apps on his phone. John grew up in a loving family in a rundown suburb of Melbourne. There wasn’t much opportunity for active commuting growing up and as his family was situated in a “food desert” it was difficult to access fresh food and take-away meals were a regular feature of his family’s diet. He left school at 16 and went onto becoming a semi-pro boxer in his youth. During his boxing career he suffered several traumatic brain injuries. Following his boxing career, he admits that the excessive restrictions associated with making weight have led him to consume an unhealthy diet and he has been obese (BMI 31kg/m2) since his late 30’s. He also admits that he drinks too much and has suffered from hypertension since his 40’s. John also smokes and has done so since his teens and he finds it hard to make time to be physically active and he also has some problems sleeping at night. 18A. Using the information from the case studies above and what you know about the evidence on the risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia, comment on James’ and John’s risk profile for cognitive decline/dementia (6 marks).
