Imаgine thаt yоu аre a health care wоrker serving a department оf public health. Your job is to run a public health education campaign. Choose two microbiology topics that we covered in this course which would be important for any and every average citizen to understand. You cannot choose handwashing. Its been done. The public knows its importance. For each topic you choose, take 3-4 sentences to describe what you know about this topic. Then add 3-4 sentences about why these topics are important for the public to understand. Total should be roughly 12 sentences. Use this format: #1 Topic to educate the public on: Description: #2 Topic to educate the public on: Description: Why the public needs to be educated on these topics:
Chооse the letter оf the sentence thаt best expresses the implied mаin ideа of each of the following paragraphs. 1In the summer of 1988, a forest fire destroyed over one-fourth of Yellowstone National Park. 2Park officials had let the fire burn for several weeks before they took measures to put it out. 3The let-burn policy is based on the idea that naturally occurring forest fires contribute to the overall long-term stability of the forest environment. 4Small forest fires destroy fallen trees and leaves on the forest floor before large amounts of this debris can accumulate and cause larger and more destructive fires. 5The earlier practice of suppressing all fires may have contributed to the intensity of the 1988 Yellowstone fires because large amounts of tinder had built up on the forest floor. 6Forest fires also maintain the diversity of plant and animal life. 7Small fires destroy some tall trees and thus allow for the growth of low bushes and grasses that attract small animal wildlife. 8However, many people criticized the let-burn policy after the Yellowstone fire. 9Local ranchers were concerned that elk and bison would be driven out of the park and compete with cattle herds for food. 10Others questioned the safety of allowing a fire during a drought. 11Many people were confused by a change in policy after a hundred years of anti-fire publicity. 12Some ecologists pointed out the difficulty of determining what is “natural” in a forest that has been sustained by human activity. 13In the meantime, Yellowstone officials have announced a return to the no-burn policy that existed before 1970, at least until experts agree that letting forest fires burn themselves out is justified.
